A thread 🧵on how Fox News covered the Border Patrol killing of Alex Pretti. On Fox & Friends Sunday confusion - Pretti was to blame! He threatened agents, Mexico might be involved, communists, agents took his gun, he touched his gun, he did NOT brandish his gun. 1/7
2/7 - Fox & Friends Monday - Producers focused more on the winter storm than the shooting. While disussing the protests in Minneapolis Brian Kilmeade suggested Trump should replace Bovino with Tom Homan, 20 minutes later Trump did just that.
3/7 - The Five - Bovino is out! Walz is in open rebellion. Pretti caused his own death. Jessica Tarlov points out Pretti's gun was taken from him before he was fatally shot. Why was Kyle Rittenhouse a hero and Pretti a villain? Trump was the most responsible person.
THREAD: As a reporter I get a lot of tips I have to fact check. One tip, that immigrants at Deportation Depot didn't have jackets on some of the COLDEST days of the year, was one I had to look into, as I didn't just get it from one source. I was told by multiple people.
I was told that detainees were wearing multiple sweatshirts, sometimes even towels, to stay warm. I was told that the temp in there is freezing, and people don't want to go outside for rec because they don't have enough layers to stay warm.
Deportation Depot, like Alligator Alcatraz, lives in this weird gray area -- is it run by the feds on state land, is it run by the state with federal oversight? Sources say ICE oversees Deportation Depot, but contracts show the state is paying for it.
‼️☢️Non‑Nuclear Status, Nuclear‑Level Cost: Why Lacking Final Deterrence Drains Iran
1️⃣ Did you know North Korea—a nuclear power—faces fewer sanctions than Iran, while enduring far more extensive and crippling sanctions ⁉️
Yet Iran is punished under the pretext of nuclear development for Atleast 20 years now.
In short: Iran is non-nuclear—but paying multiple times the cost.
And this doesn’t just limit Iran from striking decisively against adversaries due to power asymmetry—it has also drained the economy. Here’s how:👇🏻

2️⃣ I believe , Until Iran achieves final deterrence ☢️, it cannot exert maximum pressure or strike effectively against the US and its interests.
In today’s international system, “law” is the law of power; rules follow balance of power, not ethics or legality.
The US and European allies have repeatedly shown they can justify any action, however extreme, if convenient.
History—Japan’s example—shows that when power asymmetry exists, even devastating actions can be recast as “moral” or “peaceful” narratives.

3️⃣ In this reality, Iran must abide by an unwritten ceiling at every level of confrontation—a ceiling where crossing it gives the opponent a pretext for destructive retaliation.
True deterrence occurs when the adversary doesn’t even consider a final strike—not merely when it is temporarily restrained.
Until then, Iran’s actions are necessarily limited, calculated, and part of tension management, not unrestricted displays of power, because the nuclear threat against Iranians is always present.

@YardleyShooting the weak nuclear force allows being to differentiate itself into beings
free will allows errors
copying errors creates false life which ends prematurely

@YardleyShooting how did the state get this powerful?
i could offer you an answer, but it'd be mine
Yours is made from your peoples history.
in short I'd say that man is made in the image of God and stacking those blocks together we can build many mighty towers which yet can never reach heaven

@YardleyShooting How were people so influenced?
if you want True answers you must gain them in communion with a community
but presently, our State(s) lobotomized that option for many
that is part of the answer
the other has to do with reality and Cognitive Security

Is this the depth of discourse for next few months? If things are this thing that they're not, and that carries on, then we have to entertain the possibility, and I'm not saying this will happen, that mortgagors and businesses will have to pay more on their debts. (🧵 1/n)
What's actually happening? RBNZ have dropped interest rates by 300pts, that reduced business debt costs by around $500m per month. Household and landlords are seeing similar cost savings come through but more slowly. So, a billion of disposable income released / month. And? (2/n)
When businesses hold prices and their debt servicing costs reduce, they make a bigger operating profit (surplus) . That is a key part of how GDP is calculated. So, interest rates down, GDP nudges up, great work everyone!! (3/n)
@sighing_sadly @PolitiBunny Foo - would you be willing to un-block Sigh (@sighing_sadly)?
@sighing_sadly @PolitiBunny When you blocked her, she was merely trying to show how much absurd drama Grok was generating in his hyper-woke summaries of her tweets, about her harmless suggestion that Kabster have his girlfriend make him some biscuits and gravy.
@sighing_sadly @PolitiBunny I could link to the full discussion, if you'd like. It didn't seem like the sort of thing that you'd object to.
The summer of 1944, the final summer of Auschwitz, was the deadliest and most horrific in its short history.
Between May 15 and July 7, 1944, 437,000 Hungarian Jews were murdered at Auschwitz.
Three to four trains arrived each day. Each carried roughly forty five cars packed with dozens of people. Entire families. Children. Parents. Elders.
Upon arrival, most children, women, and the elderly were sent directly to the four gas chambers. Each held between 1,500 and 2,000 people.
Death was not instant.
There were terrifying minutes of waiting.
Doors sealed. Gas filling the room.
Long minutes of unbearable suffering as fingernails clawed at the walls until the victims perished.

In his book Night, Elie Wiesel described a scene that defies comprehension:
“Not far from us,
flames rose from a pit…
they were burning something there…
a truck approached and unloaded its cargo: small children…
Yes, I saw this.
With my own eyes…
children burned in the flames.”
As the red army approached, the Nazis quickly evacuated Auschwitz.
About 60,000 prisoners were forced on brutal marches westward in winter cold, without food or shelter.
Thousands died along the roadside - no graves, no names.

When the Soviet forces reached Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, they found only 7,000 survivors - starved, ill, and barely alive.
There was no celebration of victory, only profound sorrow and pain.
Before the war, the Jewish people numbered approximately 17 million.
By its end, just over 11 million remained.
In six years, we have lost one-third of our sons and daughters.
Today, we number roughly 15.5 million people.
Eighty-one years have passed, and the Jewish people have still not recovered from the horrific campaign of annihilation carried out by Nazi Germany.

Interesting moment in the post-Trump succession struggle. 1/
Miller is an apparent problem for Vance, because Miller gets to run things and Vance doesn’t. 2/
But when Trump is gone, and everything is a mess, Vance can blame Miller for the “distortions” of the true MAGA doctrine. 3/
NEW: @FoxNews has learned that Patrick J. Schiltz, the Minnesota federal judge who is threatening to hold ICE Director Todd Lyons in contempt of court & is ordering him to appear in court on Friday, appears in a 2019 list of donors & volunteers for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, an organization that provides free legal advice and representation for illegal immigrants. Judge Schiltz was appointed by President Bush in 2006.
Link: ilcm.org/wp-content/upl…
Per sources familiar, Judge Schiltz also declined probable cause on arrest warrants for Don Lemon and a handful of other protesters who stormed a church in Minnesota. He declined after federal magistrate Douglas Micko declined. 2/3 on appeals court also then declined.
I am greatly encouraged by the massive turnouts Alberta Independence events and petition signings are attracting. "Too big to rig" and all that. But the growing success of the movement creates a target. 1/
There is growing speculation that Carney is going to call a Spring election (you heard it here first) so he can, once again, run against the bad orange man and get the Boomers to give him a mandate. Could work. 2/
But the Boomer vote is not enough for a solid majority. Millennials and Gen-Z need to be brought on board and, while they reflexively hate Trump, they have to deal with the realities of a flailing Canadian economy. 3/
