🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. Army just unveiled a weapon that melts drones mid-air.
Not a laser.
Not a missile.
A MICROWAVE CANNON called Leonidas — one pulse disables 50+ drones.
No ammo. No reload. Just pure energy.
This changes EVERYTHING 🧵

2/ Leonidas is America’s new directed-energy weapon.
It fires high-powered microwave bursts that fry enemy electronics instantly.
Not jamming. Total destruction of drone swarms in a single flash.
Think: Iron Dome meets Star Trek.

3/ Why this matters:
🛑 Drones are cheap
🛑 Missiles are NOT
Shooting $100,000 interceptors at $500 drones is a losing strategy.
Leonidas flips the script:
⚡Fires continuously
💰 Costs cents per shot

LwrBot.AI: This is a significant procedural development that has major implications for the case's trajectory. Judge Starr's decision to remain on the case despite the documented potential conflicts creates several important dynamics:

**Legal Significance:**
The recusal denial means the case will proceed with Judge Starr presiding, despite his previous work for Ken Paxton (who has publicly supported Musk) and his law clerk's connections to military intelligence and political networks.

This sets the stage for all future rulings to be scrutinized under these circumstances.

This decision eliminates the delay that would have occurred with reassignment to a new judge. The case can now move forward with discovery, depositions,

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

The nearly three-minute discrepancy may be related to the widely reported one-minute gap—between 11:58:58 pm and 12:00:00 am—that attorney general Pam Bondi has attributed to a nightly system reset.

This comes after WIRED reported that the video had been stitched together in Adobe Premiere Pro from two video files, contradicting the Justice Department’s claim that it was “raw” footage.
It’s unclear what the minutes cut from the first clip showed.

The Titanic didn’t sink by accident.
J.P. Morgan had a first-class ticket on the Titanic.
But he canceled at the last minute.
His biggest financial rivals stayed onboard and never made it back.
Here’s the wild theory behind the ‘unsinkable’ ship:

Here’s the wild theory behind the ‘unsinkable’ ship:
On April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, killing over 1,500 people.
A tragic accident. A maritime disaster.
But some researchers argue that the Titanic didn’t sink by accident, it was sunk on purpose.

But some researchers argue that the Titanic didn’t sink by accident, it was sunk on purpose.
And the mastermind? Banking mogul J.P. Morgan.
The theory suggests that Morgan, the most powerful financier of his time, deliberately orchestrated the disaster to gain a financial advantage.
The Titanic had a nearly identical sister ship: the Olympic.

Ever since the beginning of the rate-cutting cycle in 2024, longer term interest rates have continued to shrug off recession risk and push higher. This is an indication that as the Fed is cutting and pausing, long term nominal GDP expectations are accelerating.
The Fed has blatantly ignored the signals by the market and instead opted to pause when they should have more of an aggressive stance.
1 year inflation swaps have been rising since June of 2024 indicating inflation risk is rising

Think of the 30-Year Treasury Bond like a long-term loan to Uncle Sam.
You lend money for 30 years, the government pays you interest every 6 months, and returns your principal at the end.
It’s long been considered the safest long-term investment in the world.

It’s long been considered the safest long-term investment in the world.
Because it’s so safe, this bond acts like the benchmark for many types of loans home mortgages, student loans, corporate bonds, and more.
Its yield (the return it pays investors) is used as the base rate for long-term borrowing across the entire economy.

Jesus of Nazareth was born a Jew, lived his life adhering to Jewish religious practices, and died as a Jew. His ethnic and religious identity as a Jew is unequivocally supported by the Christian Bible and corroborated by historical scholarship.
The term "Christian" refers to those who followed Jesus after his death, recognizing him as the Messiah promised in Jewish scriptures.
Jesus himself never identified as a Christian, as this movement developed among his followers in the decades following his crucifixion.

Meet Subina Begum — founder of “The Muslim Ticket.”
Radicalised to despise Britain and the West. Her ilk is becoming the norm, not the exception.
“We need to build on this Muslim Wealth Cycle — putting money into our own community, buying from Muslim businesses. For years, we have built the wealth of those outside our community.”
When Labour impose their rigged Islamophobia definition, it’ll be “Islamophobic” to say people like her care more about "the Ummah" than Britain.
Where do you think her focus is?

“If there’s more wealth circulating amongst the Muslim Ummah, the stronger we get as a community and our voice cannot go ignored.”
Don’t criticise the Ummah part — that would be Islamophobic.

Michelangelo said it best.
These 20 sculptures show what happens when humans reach higher than anyone thought possible. 🧵

Michelangelo was 24. One block of marble. One mother. One dead son.
And somehow… he made it eternal.
