“Your top experts didn't respond when Western researchers asked to know what was going on in Wuhan.You were too proud and too nationalistic to tell the truth, which you felt was a national disgrace.”
“ You rule by surveillance. You wouldn't be president without surveillance. You monitor everything, every citizen, but you refuse to monitor the diseased wet markets in your country.You shut down every newspaper and website that is critical of your rule.”
“but not the stalls where bat soup is sold. You are not only monitoring your people, you are endangering them – and with them, the rest of the world.”

🚨 It’s game time for radical Iran, Khameneni, and their illegitimate governments (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and others). An Iranian attack on Israel is imminent and so are the counter strikes. Biden/Harris administration’s blunder was giving Iran access to over $100B. 🧵
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has deployed the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and Carrier Strike Group 3 to the Middle East due to an imminent attack by Iran 🇮🇷 on Israel 🇮🇱.
In addition, Secretary Austin ordered the deployment of an incremental Air Force squadron, land-based missile batteries, and several Navy missile cruisers and destroyers to the Middle East. CENTCOM has been showcasing F15E Strike Eagle launches today on its social media.
Just spent time with a senior US Border official who shared a series of alarming stories. First, the Chinese and the Mexican cartels are flying drones from Mexico into the US to surveil US law enforcement. The FAA (overseen by @PeteButtigieg ) doesn’t allow any kind of 🧵
Drone interdiction or destruction by U.S. law enforcement. We can set up detection equipment to ‘detect’ if they are flying over, but we legally can’t do anything about it once we find them. This senior official installed detection equipment that had each detection
Sent to him via text message. After 48 hours of hundreds of foreign drone detections, he had to turn the service off due to the sheer number of incursions. Just when we thought we had heard it all about our current ‘Open Border’ policies, we hear something as ridiculous
Elections across the Western world are about runaway/weaponized migration and crippling inflation. Incumbents that have presided over both will be voted out of office. From France 🇫🇷 to the UK…🇬🇧 to the United States 🇺🇸 the media misses the point.🧵
According to the UN World Migration Report 2024, the number of displaced migrants hit an all-time high of 117 million (with the largest share of migrants to population being in Europe and North America (excluding island nations with scant populations)). worldmigrationreport.iom.int/news/world-mig…
Open borders with host countries offering a social safety net is a certain formula for bankruptcy. While being pro-migration is vital to the healthy growth of any nation, careless and fully open borders are certain to produce systemic failure. From @MLP_officiel to @Nigel_Farage
Phenomenal reporting by @Kate_OKeeffe on how the Chinese government continues to undermine U.S. national security by secretly funding scientific non-profits in the United States (Optica is either willfully negligent or a launderer) This is a MUST READ. 🧵
‘The top Republican and Democrat on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee wrote in a May 16 letter to Rogan that Optica’s earlier failure to disclose Huawei’s involvement in the competition either showed deep ignorance toward research security or was a “willful strategy to launder funds from Huawei to anonymously bolster the Optica Foundation’s reputation and finances.”’
‘It also left some who applied for separate federal funding, such as Pentagon grants, unable to accurately disclose to the US government all of their sources of financial support, which can impact the government’s funding decisions.’ Risking future U.S. Govt funding.
Spending the 80th Anniversary of D-Day in Normandy with over one hundred 100-year-old Veterans of the liberation has been one of the ultimate highlights of my life. Here is Clayton Baum from San Diego. Clayton is 101 yrs-old and was a member of the 29thID. 🧵
I met Woody Woodhouse of the famous Tuskegee Airmen yesterday. While he wasn’t a pilot himself, he is an American treasure. Woody wears two watches and you should ask him why.
At lunch, over 80 Veterans of the Normandy Invasion were present in one place at the Normandy Institute. I met 104 yr-old Steve Melnikoff who landed on Omaha Beach on June 6,1944. As a member of the 29TH ID, Steve was one of the first US soldiers to hit the beach.
There are four wars the United States can fight against China: 1. Kinetic/Hot War - where the U.S. has the top war department in the world 2. Cyber War - U.S. again number one 3. Economic War - U.S. doesn’t have an economic war department. We field economic missiles like 🧵
fly balls. Some to Treasury, others to Commerce, few to the U.S. Trade Representative…and even DOD. 4. Propaganda War - U.S. doesn’t have a propaganda war department. Our enemies spend billions annually developing and circulating propaganda. We need a propaganda war dept.
We live in a post-truth world. As we’ve seen, China, Russia, and Iran have been able to flip narratives to our youth and our gullible media. On October 7th, TikTok’s algorithm pushed pro-Palestine content at a staggering ratio of 54 to 1 against pro-Israel content.
