Shlomi Ziv was kidnapped from the Nova festival and held for 8 months by Hamas, mostly in homes of families with children running around. He was held by a doctor and a journalist. Shlomi spoke for the first time to @Erin_Molan and it’s POWERFUL. /1
@shlomiziv86
Shlomi suffered hunger, abuse and torture. What struck me was the complete stripping of his identity. Hamas would not allow him to speak Hebrew. His name was taken away and he was renamed with an Arab one. They tried to convert him to Islam. They stole his self. /2
While in captivity Shlomi would hear Hamas giving punishment beatings to Gazans for stealing a pita or speaking to a woman. These terrorists are monsters to their own people. /3
Milattan Önce 1323 yılında bir firavun öldü. Adı 3300 yıl boyunca bir daha tarih kayıtlarında geçmeyecekti. Ünlü Mısır bilimcisi Howard Carter adında bir İngiliz arkeoloğun, 1922 yılında Krallar Vadisi’nde bugüne kadar ki en büyük firavunun mezarını keşfetmesine dek!
Tutankamon, 18.Hanedan’a mensup, M.Ö. 1336 ile 1327 yılları arasında hüküm sürmüş bir Mısır firavunudur. Hiyerogliflere bakılacak olursa Tutankhamun adı genelde Amen-tut-ankh şeklinde yazılmıştır.
Orijinal ismi, Tutankhaten’in anlamı “Aton’un yaşayan temsilcisi” iken,
Tutankhamun ise “Amun’un yaşayan temsilcisi” anlamlarına geliyordu.
9 yaşında tahta çıktı ve 18 yaşında öldü.
MÖ 1332-MÖ 1323 yılları arasında hüküm sürdü.
Tüm firavunlar gibi o da MÖ 16. yüzyıl ve 11. yüzyıl arasında Krallar Vadisi’nde gömülmüştü.
An illegal alien killed 3 innocent Americans on a Florida highway.
He ran to California thinking sanctuary laws would protect him.
Florida HUNTED him down and DRAGGED him out in SHACKLES to face justice.
Lt. Gov. Collins sent a DIRECT message Gavin Newsom:
“We’re DONE with that sh*t.”
And that was just the beginning…
🧵 THREAD
By now, most people have seen the gut-wrenching footage.
An illegal alien from India attempting to make a U-turn in a truck on a busy Florida highway, killing three innocent Americans.
Today, the accountability began.
Just before 2PM, Harjinder Singh was extradited from California to Florida.
He was shackled and placed on a plane by Florida state authorities in Stockton.
After fleeing the scene and hiding out in a sanctuary state, Singh is now being forced to face justice.
That era of criminals hiding behind sanctuary protections is coming to an END.
Florida Lt. Governor Jay Collins was on the ground in California to oversee the extradition and deliver a clear message: Republican states won’t sit back while blue state policies endanger American lives.
“We’re here today because of tragedy. Three Floridians lost their lives,” Collins said.
He explained that Singh had crossed the border illegally in 2018, obtained a commercial driver’s license, and then fled back to California after the fatal crash in Florida.
“We’re here to make sure this guy goes back to Florida and faces justice. These families deserve that.”
Then Collins took direct aim at California’s leadership.
“Three lives lost because of Gavin Newsom, because of California’s failed policies,” he said.
“We’re done with that sh*t.”
Boom.
Florida had showed up to fix California’s failures.

Happy Birthday Chennai, a city where I started my IT career in 2000, stayed there for a year. A city of which I carry a lot of memories.
A city that began it's journey on this date in 1639, when Venkatadri Nayaka, the Zamindar of Sri Kalahasti, granted strip of coastal land near Madrasapattinam to Francis Day of the East India Company.
He named it Chennapatnam after his father, Damarla Chenappa Nayaka, a powerful Nayaka of Sri Kalahasti and Vandavasi, served as Commander-in-Chief under Vijayanagara emperor Venkatapati Raya. That in due course became Chennai, though the Brits called it as Madras.
The site was chosen for its proximity to Pulicat (Dutch) and Mylapore (Portuguese)—a buffer zone between rival European powers. The British built Fort St. George in 1640, anchoring their presence and attracting merchants, artisans, and settlers.
The city grew around this nucleus, with White Town for Europeans and Black Town for native traders, typical colonial segregation.
If you are diagnosed with critical illnesses like
🩺Cancer
🩺Heart illness
🩺Kidney diseases etc
Your Health insurance policy pays for your Hospital bill,
But,
What about the loss of employment?
A critical illness policy will help you with Lumpsum payment in case of diagnosis of Critical illnesses
A thread🧵on critical illness policy and why is it necessary?👇
What are critical illnesses?
There are illnesses that cause grave danger to the body and are expensive to treat!
These include
🩺Cancer,
🩺 Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery,
🩺First Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction),
🩺Kidney Failure,
🩺 Major Organ Transplant,
🩺Stroke, Aorta Graft Surgery,
🩺Primary Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension,
🩺Multiple Sclerosis with Persisting Symptoms
🩺Permanent Paralysis of Limbs are few of the critical illnesses etc.
The treatment for these illnesses can cost anywhere b/w 5L to 50L
Eight months after Trump has been inaugurated and we of course have now the EU US deal. What do we know about Trumponomics?
I would say my read is the Miran paper is a blueprint for Trump actions so far on trade. Let's see what I mean by that. And this has consequences of how Trump sees India, which I think is not just escalation to gain leverage.
First, let's talk about an important ally, the EU. The details are out and I would say this is actually rather good for the EU in the context of out of control Trump tariffs.
Why? EU tariffs are NOT stacked. They are ceilings. As in, they get 15% max, including sectoral tariffs like auto (including car parts), pharma, semiconductor, lumber etc but not steel & alum, which they are still trying to negotiate. There are some additional exemptions for EU products such as aircraft, parts, generic pharmas & ingredients etc.
Meaning, to trade for this 15%, the EU is falling closer into the US orbit via investment and trade as well as defense, which it is working on being more self sufficient with increased spending but not just yet.
Anyway, what can you say about other allies? It means South Korea and Japan can and hopefully have similar terms.
Remember that reciprocal tariffs under IEEPA aren't the only ones. Section 232s are pretty scary and more stuff being added all the time without warnings.
An example is steel where a few days ago 400 more products were added to include steel derivatives.
So if you want to have access, this is basically what the costs are and so what does that tell you about others? Here I go back to the Miran paper.
According to a new study, SARS-CoV-2 virus hijacks the machinery of testicular cells that produce the hormone testosterone in order to replicate.
It also appropriates the metabolic pathways of these cells and cholesterol, a precursor of testosterone, thereby altering lipid metabolism for its formation. 1/
The study revealed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 particles in lipid inclusions and organelles responsible for testosterone production in Leydig cells for the first time.
In addition, the researchers described the mechanism by which the virus interferes with the functioning of these testicular cells.
The discovery helps explain why male patients with severe COVID-19 have lower levels of testosterone, and possibly cholesterol. 2/
After infecting the Leydig cells in the testicles, the virus uses lipid metabolism pathways and the cell structure to replicate, which impairs testosterone production.
This happens because these cells, responsible for producing testosterone, express high concentrations of the ACE2 receptor, facilitating the entry of the virus, 3/
Yesterday at the @madebygoogle event we launched "Pro Res Zoom" Pixel 10Pro series. I wanted to share a little more detail, some examples and use cases. The feature enables a combined optical + digital zoom up to 100x magnification. It builds on our optical 5x tele camera.
1/n
Shooting at mags well above 30x requires that the 5x optical capture be adapted and optimized for such conditions, yielding a high quality crop that's fed to our upscaler. The upscaler is a large enough model to understand some semantic context to try & minimize distortions
2/n
Given the distances one might expects to shoot at such high magnification, it's difficult to get every single detail in the scene right. But we always aim to minimize unnatural distortions and stay true to the scene to the greatest extent possible.
GL/PvdA staat in de peilingen op ruim 28 potentiële zetels.
Hoeveel van deze kiezers hebben het bijna 170 pagina´s tellende concept- verkiezingsprogramma doorgelezen?
Niet veel, anders waren zij al aan de gate op Schiphol op weg naar hun nieuwe woonbestemming.
De titel "Een nieuwe start voor Nederland" dient u letterlijk te nemen. Frans Timmermans alias Prins Carnaval knalt de Great Reset erin, daarna hebben we een nieuwe start, een leven voor elke Nederlander waarin schaarste centraal staat.
Schaarste aan voedsel, water, energie en goederen. Frans vernietigt tot 2030 systematisch de beschikbaarheid van alle eerste levensbehoeftes.
Frans doet dat niet stiekem, hij gaat ervan uit dat u niet de moeite neemt zijn epistel van 170 pagina´s orwelliaanse doublespeak door te ploegen.
En als u dat wel doet, heeft Frans de overtuiging dat u de implicaties van zijn absurde en vernietigende plannen niet doorziet. U wilt immers geen complotdenker zijn, dus het zal allemaal wel los lopen.
Welnu, ik heb de moeite genomen om het verkiezingsprogramma uit te pluizen en de belangrijkste punten ontdaan van inhoudsloos gewauwel over vrijheid en democratie.
Een draadje over de plannen van premier Frans.
#verkiezingen #pvdagroenlinks
Laten we beginnen met de boeren, zet je tractor maar vast in de verkoop want de agrarische sector staat aan de vooravond van totale vernietiging. Indústriele landbouw verdwijnt. Er zal alleen nog plaats zijn voor kleinschalige biologische hobbyboeren die het platteland een idyllische sfeer bezorgen.
Volgens Frans kan de export van agrarische producten stoppen, we produceren veel te veel.
We moeten volgens Frans kiezen voor wonen of eten en vliegen. Dat kan niet alle drie, de bekende valse dilemma´s waarin deze sektarische klanten grossieren.
Ook de visserijsector krijgt het laatste genadeschot van Frans, die moeten wijken voor de natuur.
Frans legt de prioriteit bij het oplossen van de wooncrisis. Dat doet hij door 100.000 woningen bij te bouwen.
Da´s goed nieuws, dakloos Nederland kan juichend de straat op. Alleen, het structurele woningtekort is 400.000. Bovendien wil Frans de omvolking laten doorlopen, er moet een jaarlijks positief migratiesaldo komen van 60.000. Dat betekent dat minimaal 230.000 migranten, ieder jaar opnieuw.
Overigens ziet Frans alleen arbeidsmigratie als een probleem, over de stortvloed aan asielmigratie geen woord, alleen dat de procedures sneller moeten en zij gelijk Nederlandse taalles krijgen.
Dus voor wie bouwt Frans die nieuwe woningen? De autochtone bevolking zal er niet op vooruit gaan.
Published today, an important paper proposes a framework dividing total fertility rate into two component parts:
TFR = Total Maternity Rate (TMR) x Children per Mother (CPM)
This lens shows that virtually all recent declines in fertility were due to increasing childlessness. 🧵
Demographer @StephenJShaw realized that these two components of TFR, the total maternity rate (or equivalently, the childless rate) and children per mother move quite independently of each other.
That means one gets much more information from looking at both parts together. 2/6
Unsurprisingly, both lower rates of motherhood and smaller family sizes are contributors to the crisis of low birthrates.
But both factors matter since the policies helping people reach parenthood may be very different from the ones supporting or encouraging larger families. 3/6
Letak masalah di ekonomi Indonesia hari ini ada 3 : 1. Likuiditas uang di masyarakat yg kering (krn utang negara yg overdosis) 2. Distribusi uang di masyarakat yg tdk merata (krn predatory e-commerce) 3. Inflasi atas harga kebutuhan dasar (krn liberalisasi atas kebutuhan dasar)
1. Likuiditas uang di masyarakat yg kering
Likuiditas uang (ketersediaan uang) di masyarakat hari ini sangat kering, shg tdk mampu menggerakkan ekonomi
Penyebab utamanya adalah utang negara yg overdosis
Utang negara, baik utang dalam negeri & luar negeri, merupakan salah satu bentuk crowding-out, krn menyedot uang APBN yg seharusnya diperuntukkan utk mencukupi likuiditas uang di masyarakat, tp tersedot keluar utk bayar cicilan utang, shg likuiditas uang di masyarakat jd kering
Η αλήθεια είναι ότι όταν άρχισα να ψάχνω το θέμα στις αρχές Αυγούστου κάποιοι με προειδοποίησαν να μην το σκαλίζω γιατί "ο τύπος έχει άκρες με τον Δήμαρχο, το ίδιο και η άλλη στα Γιάννενα. Θα βρεις τον μπελά σου".
Βέβαια τα θεωρώ ανυπόστατες φήμες, που καθόλου μα καθόλου δεν υιοθετώ, και δεν θα ήθελα σε καμία περίπτωση να πιστέψω κάτι τέτοιο σκανδαλώδες. Άλλωστε, έκανα την έρευνα μου καλοπροαιρετα ούσα πεπεισμένη ότι ζούμε σε μία ευνομούμενη πολιτεία. Σωστά; 😇
🇨🇳China 🆚 🇺🇸EUA e 🇧🇷Brasil: como o regime chinês aperfeiçoou práticas desonestas para driblar regras comerciais🧵
A batalha da Charlotte Pipe, fabricante de tubos com 124 anos de história, revela um jogo complexo de evasão de tarifas, empresas fantasmas e medidas cada vez mais duras do governo americano.
O caso envolve a concorrência desleal normalizada pelo regime chinês, praticada em larga escala contra o Brasil devido a vulnerabilidade de nossas defesas diante do nosso "maior parceiro comercial".
Segundo a Coalizão Indústria: o Brasil está sob o risco de perder até R$ 500 bilhões em diversos segmentos da indústria até 2027 sob a pressão da concorrência predatória chinesa.
Vamos entender a situação e o modus operandi do regime comunista chinês. 🧵⏬
📌 O início da disputa
Em 2018, os EUA impuseram tarifas antidumping de até 360% sobre tubos chineses.
Motivo? Preços artificialmente baixos que quebravam a indústria doméstica.
A expectativa era simples: tarifa alta = queda nas importações chinesas.
Mas os exportadores encontraram uma saída… 👇
🔄 A estratégia chinesa: transshipment
Para driblar as tarifas, empresas chinesas passaram a enviar produtos por terceiros países como Malásia e Camboja — sem qualquer valor agregado.
📦 Saem da China ⏩ passam por países intermediários ⏩ entram nos EUA como se fossem “locais”.
Uma engenharia para mascarar a origem real.
For decades, Americans have been sold the same villian "Mother Russia", the Cold War boogeyman who meddles in US politics and culture. Yet, that's not entirely true. Russia is not an external threat, it is a partner, an active member of an Unholy Trinity: Russia, USA & Israel.🧵
The real fight was never Moscow vs. Washington. It is a transnational intelligence-finance syndicate that uses Russia, Israel, and the U.S. as interchangeable fronts in a long game of cultural and psychological warfare.
Enter the MEGA GROUP, twenty of the richest American Jews.
Founded in 1991, the Mega Group includes many "colorful" names including the heirs to the Seagram empire Charles & Edgar Bronfam, Jeffrey Epstien's "sole" client Les Wexner and Michael Steinhardt.
They claim philanthropy, but lines are blurred between scandal and intelligence.
A bunch of looney boomers are protesting @winwithwinsome appearing at tonight’s Arlington school board meeting and advocating for child mutilation and for Richard Cox to be able to expose himself to girls.

This “math teacher” just said he “can’t teach math in the year 2025” because he needs to help his students socially. SICK!
The weight comes right back when you stop taking it. Why? Because it doesn’t fix anything. It just shuts off your hunger.
And the side effects are far worse than they’re telling you.
We’re talking about stomach paralysis, bowel obstructions, suicidal thoughts, vision loss, facial wasting, and sagging breasts—some of which are PERMANENT.
They once pulled a drug just like this. So why are they pushing an even worse one now?
This report exposes the Ozempic playbook—and the corruption behind it.

The information in this thread comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc. For all the sources and details, read the full 10,000+ word report below. midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-oz…
@MidwesternDoc The rise of Ozempic (semaglutide) was anything but organic.
It was aggressively marketed, rubber-stamped by the FDA, and pushed on literally every demographic.
The campaign worked so well that, even with an increase in production, there’s been a shortage of Ozempic.
Another win for @TheJusticeDept before the Supreme Court--this time on whether district courts can enjoin the termination of grants that conflict with the Administration's anti-DEI policies. Lots of interesting opinions, worth a brief discussion. 1/
First, the ruling is correct and consistent with previous orders the Court has issued on the emergency docket. As we've discussed before, people who claim the government owes them money have to go to a special court to sue for money. They can't get TROs or injunctions. 2/
This is case marks yet another example of lower courts defying the clear import of the Supreme Court's emergency rulings. As SG Sauer explained in his application. 3/
The upcoming 25th August marks the 8th anniversary of the start of the Rohingya genocide, one of the most heinous events of war crimes in the 21st century. This tragedy has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and left millions displaced in unbearable conditions.
#FreeArakan
As we commemorate this day, we call upon muslim brothers and sisters around the world to observe it and remember the lives lost and the vulnerable lives that remain. Let us continue the fight for their rights, just as we do for our Palestinian brothers and all oppressed muslims.
The Rohingya are an Indo-Iranian group of people who speak the Arakanese dialect of the Bengali language. They are the indigenous of the (Burmese occupied) region of Arakan. The etymology of Arakan is arkān-al-islām, which means pillar foundation or the 5 pillars of Islam.

Así era Trifon Ivanov, el Lobo Búlgaro. 🐺🇧🇬
El Club de Hilos de Fútbol lo recuerda como el defensor más salvaje de los '90.
Trifon Ivanov nació el 27 de julio de 1965 en Lipnitza, un pequeño pueblo en el norte de Bulgaria, rodeado de bosques y campos donde aún se ven tanques oxidados, restos vivos de la era soviética y la Guerra Fría.
Durante ese período, Bulgaria fue punto estratégico para bases militares soviéticas. Y, en Lipnitza, quedaron tanques abandonados por todos lados, testigos silenciosos de lo que fue esa guerra. Años después, Trifon —fiel a su estilo— se compró uno. ¿Por qué? Porque podía.
