A mother in Scottsdale, Arizona answered her phone in January 2023.

Her 15-year-old daughter Brianna was sobbing on the line. "Mom, I messed up."

Then a man took the phone. "Listen, I have your daughter. If you contact the police, I'll inject her with drugs and leave her in Mexico." He demanded $1 million.

Brianna was on a ski trip, completely safe. The US Senate later heard the case as an example of AI voice cloning fraud.

McAfee Labs found 3 seconds of audio produces an 85% voice match. Less than one TikTok clip.

Here's the one-word system every family needs tonight 👇
This is called virtual kidnapping. No one is actually taken. The scammer just needs a few seconds of your kid's voice.

Microsoft's own research showed a 3-second audio sample is enough to clone anyone's voice with near-perfect accuracy. The tech is called VALL-E.

Sources: Microsoft Research (2023), McAfee Labs "Artificial Imposter" report (May 2023).
Scammers do not need to hack you. They pull audio from:

- TikTok videos
- Instagram reels
- YouTube uploads
- Voicemail greetings
- Podcast appearances

A single 15-second reel gives them 5 times more than they need. Every open account is a voice sample library.

🧵 America turns 250 this Saturday. The government Americans live under today is not the one the founders built. Somewhere between the Declaration and this anniversary, the leash was cut. Here is how it happened, and what it would take to undo it.
The founders did not trust parchment to limit power. They trusted structure: rival sovereign states, each able to check the center. Madison, Federalist 51: ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The states were the Constitution's immune system.
The Austrian economists explain why this mattered. Government is a monopoly on force, and like every monopoly, it expands unless competition constrains it. Federalism supplied that competition. States competed for citizens and capital. Overtax them, and they leave.

"All citizens are being made slaves of Indian Government. They cannot stage protests, they cannot agitate-What is all this? Now so many papers have been leaked. If people protest, you will slap cases... What is this? It is the right of the citizens to protest.

The petitioner has just raised slogans like 'BJP Government Murdabad', 'Amit Shah Murdabad'... Why citizens can't raise such slogans? Why externment orders for such slogans?" - Bombay High Court Judge Justice Madhav Jamdar asks.Image
"Day before yesterday, one 10 year child was killed in an accident and what the State Assembly was discussing - how a Presiding Officer is elected and how he has shifted from one party to the another... What is this?" - Justice Jamdar.
"Horse trading is going on in entire Maharashtra," Justice Jamdar says.

Justice Jamdar tells a political leader facing FIRs - "Consider switching sides, there is a washing machine".

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON'T USE GROK FOR STOCKS.

Most traders are looking at charts from 3 months ago.
Grok analyzes real-time sentiment on X to anticipate tomorrow.

Here are 8 prompts to find the next 10x stock:
1. Analyze Market Sentiment in Real Time on X

This is how trends are detected BEFORE they take off, not after.

Prompt:
“Search X (Twitter) for the most recent discussions about [STOCK TICKER / COMPANY] and analyze the sentiment.

Action: [name and ticker]
Period: [last 24–48 hours]

Based on the available data, summarize the overall sentiment, recurring themes, and any notable changes.”
2. Detect Emerging Trends Before Wall Street

Prompt:
"Analyze current discussions on X about emerging trends in [SECTOR / INDUSTRY].

Sector: [technology / health / energy / AI / etc.]
Focus: [small-cap / mid-cap / large-cap]

Identify:

1. What trends are gaining traction right now
2. Stocks that are mentioned repeatedly
3. New products, technologies, or catalysts
4. Patterns in sentiment shifts
5. Early-stage companies that are receiving attention
6. Comparison with traditional media coverage (are we early?)
7. Key opinion leaders driving the narrative
8. Stocks best positioned to benefit

Show me what's trending NOW, not last quarter."

The fat you can't pinch is the fat that's killing you.

Visceral fat sits deep around your organs and floods your body with inflammation.

Here are 7 science-backed hacks to burn visceral fat naturally:🧵

1. Build muscle
Muscle pulls glucose out of your blood, lowering the insulin that drives visceral fat storage.

More muscle means a leaner waist and a metabolism working for you 24/7.

Bookmark this quick workout for later:
2. Sprint training.

Endless steady cardio raises oxidative stress and burns muscle.

Short, intense bursts (sprints) mimic your ancestral fight-or-flight response, reducing visceral fat much faster: Image

BLS charts:

1/ This looks like a weird report so I'm holding my takes until I see more data.

Big slowdown in employment growth; unemployment rate falls to its lowest level in a year (4.18%). Image
2/ Focusing solely on the UR, we're tracking a little better than my 80th percentile scenario halfway through the year. Image
3/ There was a bizarre plunge in the prime working age employment/population ratio, to 80.2%. The lowest since 2022. The magnitude of the plunge feels like noise - happened almost entirely within the 25-34 age group. Image

The Lebanese government signed a U.S.-brokered framework agreement with Israel on June 26.

One of its central objectives is to strengthen the Lebanese state and consolidate all weapons under state authority.

For many, this is an unprecedented moment that could pave the way for a peaceful resolution to a decades-old problem.

History suggests otherwise.Screengrab, clip from U.S. State Department
Forty-three years ago, another U.S.-backed agreement promised something remarkably similar.

The May 17 Agreement of 1983 sought to restore Lebanese sovereignty, strengthen the state and empower the Lebanese army. Image
Washington invested heavily in rebuilding the Lebanese Armed Forces.

The U.S. poured military equipment into the LAF, much of it paid in cash by the Lebanese state.

More than 10,000 men underwent intensive training by the U.S. Marines and Special Forces.

By many accounts, the army had never been stronger.U.S. supplies military equipment to Lebanon, including 32 M-48A5 tanks. April or May 1983. (Photograph published in the Lebanese Armed Forces’ monthly periodical Al-Jundi al-Lubnani, May 1983, p. 50)

The sins you commit in private can block the good in your life and gradually change your condition for the worse. They can become a cause of:

• Delaying your salah
• Wasting your time
• Losing barakah in your life
• Becoming distant from Allah

Recite these du’as:
1. Sayyid al-Istighfār (The Best Supplication for Seeking Forgiveness)

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَىٰ عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

Allahumma anta Rabbī, lā ilāha illā anta, khalaqtanī wa anā ʿabduka, wa anā ʿalā ʿahdika wa waʿdika mastaṭaʿtu, aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣanaʿtu, abū’u laka biniʿmatika ʿalayya, wa abū’u bidhanbī, faghfir lī fa innahu lā yaghfiru adh-dhunūba illā anta.

O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god except You. You created me, and I am Your servant. I uphold Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favors upon me, and I acknowledge my sins, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.
2. The Du’a the Prophet ﷺ taught Abu Bakr

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا، وَلَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، وَارْحَمْنِي، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Allahumma innī ẓalamtu nafsī ẓulman kathīrā, wa lā yaghfiru adh-dhunūba illā anta, faghfir lī maghfiratan min ʿindika, warḥamnī, innaka anta al-Ghafūru ar-Raḥīm.

O Allah, I have greatly wronged myself, and none forgives sins except You. So forgive me with a forgiveness from Yourself and have mercy upon me. Indeed, You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

Prodigal 🧵

There is nothing more grievous to a parent or grandparent than to watch their children suffer due to their own sinful choices.

Years spent nurturing and teaching them the Word of God are abandoned for the temporary pleasures of sin.
The father in the story in Luke knew such grief. His son went to a far country and wasted everything he’d been given. Seeking pleasure — he eventually ended up wishing to have some of the food that he was given to feed the pigs. Even that was denied him.
Here is the heartbreaking story Jesus told:

“And He said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living…

According to the Jerusalem Post, a major plan to topple the Iranian regime using Kurdish forces, backed by Israeli air support was ready.

Trump vetoed it at the last minute.

Israeli sources accuse JD Vance of leaking the entire operation to Erdogan.

A 41-year-old Vice President with zero experience in the region decided he knew better than seasoned strategists who have fought the Islamic Republic for decades.

This is not a policy disagreement.

This is a serious betrayal.Image
They didn’t just leak the operation.

They threw the Kurds under the bus.

While Kurdish fighters are still being bombed by the IRGC right now, they were deliberately excluded from the ceasefire and left completely exposed.
This is not a mistake.

This is a shameful betrayal of the only real allies America had on the ground.
