IF YOUR IPHONE'S BATTERY IS DRAINING FASTER THAN EVER, YOU DON'T NEED A NEW PHONE FIRST. YOU NEED NEW SETTINGS.

HERE'S HOW TO FIX POOR BATTERY LIFE IN 7 STEPS:
1. Check out what's really draining your battery:

- Go to Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging → Battery Usage

Review:
- Which apps consume the most battery in the last 24 hours / 10 days
- The “Background Activity” below each app's name

If Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Maps show a lot of Background Activity, they're draining your battery even when you're not using them. Disable background app refresh for these apps (next step).
2. Disable unnecessary background updates:

- Go to Settings → General → Background App Refresh → Background App Refresh → Off
(or choose Wi-Fi instead of Wi-Fi and Cellular Data)

- Then disable it for:
- Social apps (IG, TikTok, FB, X)
- Shopping apps
- Random apps you almost never open

They don't need to run 24/7. Your battery will last longer right away.

Bloomberg has now published the full 14-point text of Trump's Iran Memorandum of Understanding. The Saudi presentation leaked earlier today was largely accurate.

The problems identified then are now confirmed in the document itself. Quick thread.
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The sequencing issue is now confirmed.

Article 13 of the actual document makes the sequencing explicit. Iran will not enter final negotiations until Articles 4, 5, 10, and 11 are implemented first.
Articles 4, 5, 10, and 11 are about the US lifting the naval blockade, Iranian shipping restored to pre-war volume, US Treasury waivers for Iranian crude oil exports, and frozen Iranian assets released and made fully available.

This is the toolkit for the U.S. given away upfront

Ok, so it looks very likely that we are going to be a very consequential housing bill out of Congress and to the President for his signature. Here’s a cheat sheet of some of the most important parts of the bill (just going through the text in order). 1/10
Section 102- Point access blocks. Directs HUD to create a model code for single-stair buildings. This will be very helpful in creating more family-oriented apartments. (see this article of mine from last year on that). 2/10
Section 103- Environmental exception for infill housing. It’s ridiculous that building new housing on already developed land can sometimes trigger special environmental reviews. This fixes that. Sections 206, 501, and 802 make similar additive moves here. 3/10

🚨🚨UFC Freedom 250 attack planner’s wife knew about his communications and plot

💥Court documents reveal Eskridge’s wife knew of his communications and “he moved all his tactical equipment from their residence and took it to his parents’ house due to a recent Child Protective Services call involving a domestic situation with his stepson.”

💥He was preparing to make his house a “safe house.” Including a hiding spot under floor boards of an out building.

💥They were discussing “hitting” a military ordinance plant to obtain materials for the explosive charge for the drones. Specifically, Parsons, Kansas Assembly Facility

⁉️Who is Daniel Eskridge (Fulcrum)

According to screenshots of chat messages contained in court documents filed in Nebraska, one of the co conspirators, Daniel Eskridge, 32 of Kidder, MO, is married with 5 kids, currently union carpenter foreman, previously union boilermaker welder/rigger/foreman/ high angle rescue team. He was currently employed building commercial and government buildings and previously worked in energy generation field building and maintaining all of the many different types of power plants and substations. He lives in the country on 6 acres and has 25 acres that is mostly timber and secluded.Image

⚡️Eskridge wanted to add “more fuel on the fire to show our fellow Americans that the time has come to stand up and reclaim that power.”⚡️

💥The goal stated by Eskridge for the group conspiring to attack UFC with the intent to take out high value targets of wealthy people and politicians - including the president, VP, several Senators and members of Congress listed on an AIPAC tracking site.

💥“Our goal is to in a general sense "restore the old republic" our constitutional republic has been stolen by corporations, politicians and foreign actors they have usurped the power from the people and concentrated it at the top to the point that we now live in late stage "democracy".

When I say restore the old republic I am not talking about all of the flaws that we had in past times but merely talking about the fact that in a Constitutional republic the people truly hold the power and that's what we intend to restore. To get there this country needs more fuel on the fire to show our fellow Americans that the time has come to stand up and reclaim that power.”Image
🧵3
🔴Eskridge talked about corruption and being at a “trigger point” and “to set this off we need an event or events that cause people to realize the revolution has officially begun.”

ESKRIDGE continued to talk about a corrupt system and how individuals in the group should put differences aside because they have all been “victims of the system in one way or another.” ESKRIDGE then went on to state that the “revolution will not be televised” and this movement needs a “group like ours.” ESKRIDGE then stated: “So right now in the historical timeline I believe we are at the ‘trigger event’ point. Meaning to set this off we need an event or events that cause people to realize the revolution has officially begun.”

ESKRIDGE discussed how three companies owned everything and discussed how specific executives at large U.S. corporations were involved. ESKRIDGE then advised that “if a person [was] to be a target of an event we need to make sure it’s someone that can’t be easily turned into a right vs left thing we want someone both sides would celebrate.” ESKRIDGE then
stated, “[another prominent business executive] is a very good target he fits the bill for someone
both sides would cheer and support us for taking out.”

At the same time ESKRIDGE mentioned taking out “[another prominent business
executive],” he stated (screenshot below):Image

Overthinking is a spiritual disease.

It has a name in Islam. And a very specific cure.
Overthinking has a name in Islam. It's called Waswas - (وسواس). The whispering.

Allah mentioned it in the Quran: "From the evil of the whisperer who withdraws - who whispers in the hearts of mankind." (An-Nas: 4-5).
That loop in your head that won't stop? Islam named it and gave you the cure 1400 years before anxiety was a clinical term.

To really properly answer these, we have to look at the time period where we were closest to having this happen. That's probably the 1970's.
To be blunt, the reason has more to do with drastically different social structures of the 2 "perpetrator minority groups" than anything.
The US had a ton of "de-policing" and "soft on crime" policies and intelligentsia culture in the 70's. It was actually worse than the Woke era in this regard. With no internet, they could get away with far more. The movie Dirty Harry was a reaction to this. Image
The Civil Rights movement was winding down, & black activism was taking a more militant turn. Eldridge Cleaver, Black Panther, wrote the book "Soul on Ice" in prison. He describes his past as a "rape insurrectionist" who wanted to wage sexual war on white women. Image

ROTHERHAM & HOW MUSLIM SEX GANGS OPERATE: MY REPORT FROM THE UK🧵

In South Yorkshire is the city of Rotherham. Prior to 2012, Rotherham was a city unknown to most of the world. Today, the name is associated with scandal, some of the worst (known) mass child abuse in modern history, and a nation’s deep shame.

In that year, The Times (of London) unearthed one of the dirty secrets of multiculturalism and an indiscriminate immigration policy. Under the explosive headline “Police Files Reveal Vast Child Protection Scandal,” Times journalist Andrew Norfolk reported:

“Confidential police reports and intelligence files that reveal a hidden truth about the sale and extensive use of English children for sex are exposed today. They show that for more than a decade organised groups of men were able to groom, pimp and traffic girls across the country with virtual impunity. Offenders were identified to police but not prosecuted. A child welfare expert, speaking under condition of anonymity, said that agencies’ reluctance to tackle such street grooming networks was ‘the biggest child protection scandal of our time.’ The Times has published several articles about a pattern of crimes across northern England and the Midlands involving groups of men, largely of Pakistani heritage, and the sexual abuse of white girls aged from 12 to 16.”

The “child welfare expert speaking under conditions of anonymity” was Jane Senior, a Rotherham social worker, who detected a pattern in the at-risk adolescent girls with whom her agency dealt. Mostly from broken homes and in state foster care, the files she surreptitiously delivered to Norfolk revealed that since 1997, local authorities knew about, but ignored, the “industrial-scale” rape and trafficking of no less than fourteen hundred white British girls. Traffickers maintained control of these girls with the injection of drugs, physical abuse, and threats, with at least one girl being taken into the countryside where gasoline was dumped on her while her assailant held a match and warned her of the consequences should she tell anyone about her rape. Girls who reported their abuse to local police were ignored, told to stop wasting police time, or, as one was told: “Don’t worry — you aren’t the first girl to be raped by XX and you won’t be the last.” As sophisticated as any mafia, Muslim-run restaurants and taxi services facilitated the trafficking of girls, and it soon became clear some Muslim police officers were complicit in these operations.

As Rotherham’s police and the city council (who knew very well of these abuses) fell under media scrutiny, excuses for their inaction ranged from fear of charges of Islamophobia to an unwillingness to force British cultural norms on people who do not share those values. Said one police officer: “There was an educational issue. Asian males didn’t understand that it was wrong and the girls were not quite there [past puberty]. They were difficult groups to deal with. We can’t enforce our way out of the problem.”

In other words, reigning political sensitivities led some officers and council members to the conclusion that they must respect the fact the raping of pubescent girls is part of the cultural heritage of the men in question.

The scandal sparked a nationwide debate with many accusing Andrew Norfolk — and, when her identity was revealed, Jane Senior — of racism. Any thought of the girls was overshadowed by progressives who rushed to defend multiculturalism, Islam, and an idiotic immigration policy. This was the failure of political correctness writ large. Perhaps they learned from the experience….Image
2/3

Not at all.

As reports of these abuses were picked up by other media outlets, the criminal gang members were often identified with the broad brush “Asian” men for fear of charges of Islamophobia. But Sikhs, Hindus, and Chinese people peaceably living in the English Midlands quite rightly insisted reports be more specific. These were not random Asians; they were, in every instance, Muslim men, and overwhelmingly men of Pakistani heritage. That media trend has continued to the present. Writing on behalf of the Network of Sikh Organizations in 2018, Hardeep Singh said:

“This cowardly nonspecific description of the perpetrators continues to be used in the British press, to describe men of predominantly Pakistani Muslim heritage convicted in grooming gang cases. We believe this is in part due to the fear of offending Muslims…. The common denominator in such cases is the deliberate targeting of non-Muslim girls, which we believe should be categorised by the police as a hate crime.”

“Cowardly” is exactly the right word. Singh, speaking on behalf of a wrongly maligned people, was willing to say what many in media would not say because it did not fit the politically correct narrative. Still, the argument persisted that Islam had nothing whatsoever to do with what happened. Writing under the pseudonym of Ella Hill for The Independent, a victim of Rotherham made the connection between religion and rape very clear, saying the rapists told their victims:

“Muslim girls are good and pure because they dress modestly, covering down to their ankles and wrists, and covering their crotch area. They stay virgins until marriage. They are ‘our’ girls. White girls and non-Muslim girls are bad because you dress like slags. You show the curves of your bodies (showing the gap between your thighs means you’re asking for it) and therefore you’re immoral. White girls sleep with hundreds of men. You are the ‘other’ girls. You are worthless and you deserve to be gang-raped.”

To this, she added, “My main perpetrator quoted scriptures from the Quran to me as he beat me.” Cultural elites were right to link this scandal with racism, but not in the manner they intended. The racism charge against critics of Islam is absurd given the fact Islam is a religion, not a race. That said, Islam teaches men that women are lower than themselves, and non-Muslim women are dogs to be used as they see fit. It further teaches them to model their lives after Muhammad, who married Aisha, his favorite wife, when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine. Some cultures are superior to others, and a culture that derives its values from a Judeo-Christian worldview is unquestionably superior to anything Islam has to offer.

How did this happen?

According to the 2011 census, Rotherham’s population of 257,000 saw a significant demographic change from the previous census in 2001. First, those self-identifying as Christian dropped 13.2 percent. Second, the Muslim population increased by 78 percent. As much as by the teachings of Islam, these girls were raped by the failed twin-ideologies of multiculturalism and political correctness championed so foolishly by those who seek a radical societal makeover. But so far, very few seem to recognize this fact. Instead of dealing with the problem at the source, the usual political window dressing has prevailed in the wake of the scandal. Task forces, policies requiring more education for police, and awareness campaigns have all been enacted, and however helpful they might be, they are a Band-Aid on a hemorrhage.

Indeed, in the years following the exposure of the Rotherham scandal, similar Muslim sex gangs have been revealed throughout Britain. As an independent government inquiry concluded, “No one knows the true scale of sexual exploitation in Rotherham over the years.” Even so, it is estimated that no fewer than a quarter of a million British children have been exploited by sex gangs….Image

Yes, while Britain obsessively searches for any hint of discrimination or abuse against Meghan Markle, a woman who has profited handsomely off of her royal associations and her victim status, real discrimination and abuse of the most heinous kind is taking place right under the noses of the British public, but blinded as many are by political correctness, they refuse to see it.

At the 2017 trial of six sex gang defendants, one victim testified of her treatment not only at the hands of these rapists but also at the hands of those who should have protected her: “No one understood. No one wanted to understand. I felt lost, isolated, trapped, ashamed and completely worthless. I was completely owned by these dirty old men who would do with me whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted.” As the defendants were led from the courtroom, unrepentant, they shouted “Allahu Akbar!” — that is, Allah is great.

Ironically, London is now the most surveilled city in the world outside of China. At the time of my writing, London has some 627,707 cameras for 9,176,530 people. That translates to 68.40 cameras per one thousand people. And now, according to The New York Times, London is employing real-time facial recognition technology, making it the first Western city to do so—all done in the name of safety for the citizens of this island nation in the North Atlantic. For all of its technological sophistication, none of this would have protected the girls of Rotherham. Surveillance cameras, ubiquitous as they are in Britain, cannot make you see what you don’t want to see.

Stop waiting for the world to recognize your talent. Discover the ruthless Machiavellian framework to kill your need for validation, enforce silent consequences, and force the room to organize itself around your authority. (THREAD 🧵)

In chess, the king doesn't chase. It doesn't beg. It doesn't react. It dictates. Your mind should work the same way. The king is the weakest piece on the board. It barely moves. It can't attack like the queen or strike like the knight. But the entire game revolves around it. Every piece exists to protect it. Every move serves its survival. That's not weakness; that's structure. And your mind operates the same way. Most people have no king; they have chaos. They have a hundred voices competing for control: fear, guilt, approval, shame. They move through life reactive, scattered, and defenseless. Machiavelli knew this. Powerful minds are not built through motivation. They're built through the ruthless protection of what matters, through clarity, and through a refusal to be moved by anything that doesn't serve the center. This is the king's psychology, and if you don't have one, you're already losing.

You sit around waiting for respect like it's owed to you. It's not. No one hands you power because you're kind, because you're capable, or because you deserve it. Power is seized in silence through action, through boundaries, and through a refusal to bend. Every time you wait for permission, you teach the world that you don't trust your own authority, and the world responds accordingly. It walks over you. People respect what they cannot control. You think fairness matters, but fairness is a negotiation between equals. When you act like you need validation, you're not equal; you're beneath. That's not cruelty; that's psychology. The moment you require external proof of your worth, you surrender your position. You make yourself a variable in someone else's equation, and variables get manipulated.

I've watched people with talent rot in mediocrity because they believed competence alone would elevate them. It doesn't. Competence without dominance is invisible. You have to claim the space. You have to behave as though your reality is the only one that matters, not arrogantly, but with cold certainty. When you move without asking, people adjust. When you impose your frame, they either enter it or leave. Either way, you remain unmoved. This isn't about aggression; it's about a refusal to negotiate your existence. A king doesn't ask the court if he should sit on the throne. He sits, and the room organizes itself around that fact. You've been conditioned to believe that taking power is selfish. That's the exact belief that keeps you powerless. The ones who control you want you afraid of your own strength. But here's what they don't tell you: the game rewards those who stop playing fair, not through force, but through calculated stillness, through the willingness to let others react while you remain the axis. That's where control begins, and it begins the moment you stop waiting for the world to recognize you...Image
You're not moving through life; you're being moved. Every reaction you give, every emotion you display, and every boundary you fail to enforce are moves someone else is making with you. You think you're navigating, but you're being positioned. And the worst part is, you don't even see the board. Chess isn't about strength; it's about prediction. It's about seeing three moves ahead while your opponent is still celebrating the last one. Most people live in real time. They respond to what just happened. They defend what was just attacked. That's not strategy; that's panic. And panic is how you lose control without ever realizing you had it. The player who controls tempo controls the outcome. You've been playing checkers in a chess game, and that's why you keep losing.

Every interaction is a position. Every conversation is a probe. People test you constantly, not consciously, but instinctively. They push to see where you bend. They observe where you hesitate. And once they map your weaknesses, they exploit them, not because they're evil, but because that's survival. You do it, too; you just don't admit it. The difference between you and someone with power is that they've stopped pretending the game isn't happening. I learned this the hard way. I used to think honesty and effort were enough. They're not. I watched manipulators rise while good people stagnated, and I realized the board doesn't care about your morality; it cares about your positioning. So I stopped reacting. I started observing. I let people reveal themselves through their moves, and I responded from strategy, not emotion. That shift changed everything because once you see the game, you can't unsee it.

The king in chess is the weakest piece in terms of movement, but the entire game revolves around protecting it. That's the paradox. Power isn't about being the strongest; it's about being the most protected, the most intentional, and the most untouchable. And that only happens when every move you make serves a larger structure. Random emotion destroys structure. Reaction destroys foresight. You want power? Stop moving in response to noise. Your mind is not a democracy; it's a kingdom. And right now, it's being ruled by everything except you. Fear sits on the throne. Guilt whispers in the corner. Shame patrols the walls, and you, the actual ruler, are nowhere to be found. You've abdicated. You've let external voices colonize your internal space, and that's why your life feels out of control, because it is...Image
The king in chess doesn't move recklessly. It doesn't chase. It doesn't react to every threat. It holds position. It stays centered, and every piece on the board exists to protect that center. Your purpose, your true internal direction, is that king. Everything else is a supporting piece: your habits, your boundaries, your decisions, and your silence. Those are your knights, your rooks, and your bishops. When they're aligned with your center, you're unshakable. When they're scattered, you collapse. Most people have no king. They have a crowd, a thousand competing voices, all claiming authority. One day they want respect, the next day they want to be liked. One moment they're disciplined, the next they're indulgent. There's no core. There's no singular law governing their choices, so they drift. They contradict themselves, and the world reads that as weakness, because it is. Contradiction is vulnerability. Inconsistency is an invitation to be manipulated.

I used to think flexibility was strength. It's not. Adaptability within a rigid frame is strength. Flexibility without structure is just collapse in slow motion. I had to build my internal law first: the non-negotiables, the truths I would not bend on regardless of pressure. Once that king was established, every decision became simpler. Does this move protect my center? Yes or no? If no, I don't make it. That's not rigidity; that's sovereignty. Your mind will be ruled by something. If you don't claim that throne, someone else will, and they'll do it through guilt, through expectation, and through fear of rejection. You'll move according to their needs, not yours. You'll sacrifice your purpose to maintain their comfort, and one day, you'll wake up and realize you've been playing their game on their board with their rules. The king was always you; you just forgot to act like it.

You want to be loved. That's your weakness. You think if people like you, they'll respect you. They won't. Affection is cheap. It costs nothing to smile at you, agree with you, or tell you what you want to hear. Respect costs something. It requires them to adjust their behavior in your presence, and people only do that when there's a consequence for not doing it. Fear is not about violence; it's about certainty. It's the understanding that crossing you will result in something they don't want: a boundary enforced, a relationship ended, or a reaction they can't manipulate. Most people are so desperate to avoid conflict that they never establish consequences, so they get walked over and then they wonder why no one takes them seriously. You taught them not to. You showed them that your limits are negotiable...Image
