We are not going to war.
(THREAD🧵)

Other than Lindsay Graham and some others, nobody wants war.

President Trump is the last person who'd want war.
One of the things that he campaigned about and constantly boasted about was that there were no wars under him, and that if he was president, the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Gaza war wouldn't have started and be going on.

He always attempted to work things out and broker deals. That's what he's known for.

He started and brokered the Abraham accords which helped normalize relations between countries that wouldn't have normal relations otherwise, and would otherwise probably be against each other - and which he's hoping to expand.

Anyone saying that he wants war is being disingenuous.

Trump took out Soleimani and we didn't have any wars despite everyone promising that there would be World War 3 as a result.

Trump destroyed ISIS and we didn't have any full out wars.

We are not going to have a war this time either.

I find it quite ironic how a lot of the people suddenly defending Iran and calling out Trump either (if on the Right) supported him killing Soleimani, yet are suddenly against this, or (if on the Left) supported past Democrat presidents doing similar things.

"It's unconstitutional!😭"

Actually, in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, it designates the president as the "Commander in Chief" of the armed forces, and has been interpreted to grant the president authority to direct military actions - particularly in response to immediate threats - without prior congressional approval.

Additionally, the War Powers Resolution of 1973 - which was enacted to limit presidential military authority after Vietnam - allows the president to deploy forces without congressional approval under specific conditions.

However, the president must notify Congress within 48 hours of committing forces to such situations or substantially increasing military forces abroad.

Military actions must also end within 60 days (plus a 30-day withdrawal period) unless Congress authorizes continued action or is unable to meet.

Every single one of the past 3 Democrat presidents used the War Powers Resolution many times and carried out military actions without congressional approval, yet Democrats were perfectly fine with it.
It's amazing how Trump uses it and suddenly it's the end of the world and according to some is reason for impeachment (you can't impeach your way to victory AOC, you tried it before yet Trump is currently the president).

Here are just about all of those instances from the past 3 Democrat presidents.

On June 26, 1993, then President Bill Clinton ordered the launch of 23 Tomahawk cruise missiles targeting Iraqi intelligence headquarters in Baghdad in response to an alleged Iraqi plot to assassinate former President George H.W. Bush during a visit to Kuwait.

In August and September 1995, Clinton authorized U.S. participation in NATO airstrikes against Bosnian Serb military targets to enforce UN safe zones and support peace negotiations in response to Serbian forces’ attacks on Bosnian civilians during the Yugoslav Wars.

On December 16-19, 1998, Clinton ordered four days of airstrikes and cruise missile attacks on Iraqi military and weapons facilities in response to Iraq’s non-compliance with UN weapons inspections and violations of no-fly zones

On August 20, 1998, Clinton ordered cruise missile strikes on al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and a suspected chemical weapons facility (Al-Shifa) in Sudan in response to al-Qaeda’s bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

From March through October 2011, then President Barak Obama authorized U.S. airstrikes and cruise missile attacks as part of a NATO-led coalition to enforce a UN-mandated no-fly zone and protect civilians (U.S. forces later shifted to a support role) in response to the Libyan government forces under Muammar Gaddafi threatening mass civilian casualties in Benghazi during the Arab Spring.
Even though the War Powers Resolution calls for a limit of 60 days, Obama argued that it was fine because the operation didn't constitute "hostilities" under the Act, so the 60 day limit wasn't required.

Throughout Obama's entire presidency he carried out strikes/assassinations on many terrorist leaders in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and elsewhere - without getting approval from Congress beforehand and using that War Powers Resolution - including:

On June 3, 2011, Ilyas Kashmiri was killed by a drone strike.
He was a senior Al-Qaeda operative, and the leader of Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami which was linked to the 2008 Mumbai attacks and plots against Western targets.

Taking out Osama Bin Laden on May 2, 2011, by a team of Navy SEALs.

That's a team of actual humans on the ground and in helicopters - which has more potential of ending fatally than some B2 bombers dropping bombs on nuclear sites, yet I don't think anyone had an issue with Bin Laden being killed. He was a terrorist leadership who was behind the 9/11 terror attacks as well many other attacks, and fully deserved it.

Killing Anwar al-Awlaki on September 30, 2011 with a drone strike on his car.
He was a senior leader of AQAP (Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula), and was a planner for things such as the 2009 Fort Hood shooting and attempted 2009 Christmas Day bombing.
He was an American citizen, and along with him, Samir Khan, another American AQAP terrorist was also killed.

On September 1, 2014, Ahmed Abdi Godane (leader of Al-Shabaab) was killed by a drone strike and airstrikes targeting a vehicle convoy.
Al-Shabaab was responsible for attacks such as the 2013 Westgate Mall attack in Kenya.

Abu Yahya al-Libi was killed by a US drone strike on June 4, 2012.
He was a senior Al-Qaeda leader who was considered 2nd in command at the time, and was involved in planning attacks against US forces.

From 2014-2016 Obama also carried out airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Holy sh1t!!
The guy who set off explosives in a Cybertruck outside of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas was in the army and was apparently a Green Beret.

The New Orleans car ramming terrorist had also previously been in the army.

Both of their vehicles had been rented through Turo.

WTF is going on?!

Turns out, both the Cybertruck bomber and the New Orleans terrorist served at the same army base.

Looks like he may have also gone through a divorce at some point because the woman being shared by many accounts who is supposedly his wife hasn't posted on that account since 2016, but she has another somewhat active account under what I assume is her maiden name, and she's with some other guy.

Google Cloud executive, @HelenKelisky, gave an interview a bit over half a year ago about why Google cares so much about hiring "diverse" AI teams. (THREAD 🧵)

She claims that the more "diverse" Google's AI teams are, the less biased they'll be.
But she goes in to say that an AI system can only be as good as the data that it is trained on and that the biases of the AI are based off of the biases of the team that creates it.

This sounds very much like what we've been seeing with DEI - where pretty much only certain demographics are hired and others are discriminated against.
It also explains how, as we saw from @JackK's anti-white tweets, the team behind Google's Gemini AI influenced its answers based on their biases.

Google Cloud executive, @HelenKelisky, claims that the drive for diversity applies to Google's AI development and is part of their "AI principles."
She claims that they seek to avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias (funny how that worked out).

GOOGLE'S AI TEAMS WERE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED IN "DIVERSITY" RELATED "PRINCIPLES."

Google also allegedly achieved their goal of increasing their black, Latino, and Native American employees by 30%.

Google Cloud executive @HelenKelisky says that DEI initiatives are part of the solution for discrimination, and that it starts with the hiring process and prioritizing ways to tackle "unconscious bias."

According to her "there's nothing more dangerous than a homogeneous AI development team."

She believes that fighting against discrimination is an ongoing battle that all employees must always focus on.

This is Sage Blair.

Her school "transitioned" her to a male without letting her grandparents/adoptive parents know and encouraged her to use the boys bathroom despite her getting rape threats.

She had a psychotic breakdown, ran away, got kidnapped, and got raped and sex trafficked by multiple men.

She was eventually rescued, but the public defender claimed that the parents weren't "sufficiently affirming" of her Sage's gender identity due to her grandfather/adoptive father calling her "she" when overcome with emotion, so the parents weren't allowed to have her back.

She got put in a boys juvenile facility since she was a "boy" and while there she was sexually assaulted again.

She escaped the facility and was once again kidnapped, raped, starved, and tortured.

Eventually she was rescued and reunited with her parents, but she has to go to tremendous amounts of therapy for the rest of her life.

The grandparents/adoptive parents are now suing the Virginia school board where it originally started, the school counselors, and the public defender.

It is absolutely insane that Sage had to suffer so much all because the school didn't say anything to her parents in the beginning.

WTF is wrong with some people?!

@thatdaneshguy

It appears that the person who originally doxxed the pregnant nurse who was accosted by a group of black teens who tried to steal her bike, posted both her and her husband's social media accounts, and pushed for her to get fired is a TikTok who goes by @thatdaneshguy.
*THREAD🧵* twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The first video got nearly 270k likes and over 3 million views.

He made another video in which he called for people to put pressure on her, her job, and the mayor, and he asked for people to help identify the guy who suggested that they reset the bike and called him "reset Ken" (what some people use as the male version of Karen).

Many of you may be unaware of the fact that there is an ongoing manhunt in Texas that has been going on for a few days.
5 people including an 8 year old were brutally murdered last Friday.

Most mass shootings are the top stories for some time.
Just a couple weeks ago the top… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The shooting a couple weeks ago got attention from the White House. Biden spoke to Ralph Yarl and his family. But regarding this there's been silence from the Biden administration. It doesn't fit their narrative.

@TIME

A bunch of headlines and articles from media that were posted about it are deceptive.
Like this one from @TIME. They say "a Texas man," except he isn't a Texas man at all. He is an illegal immigrant.
But when it came to the shooting a couple weeks ago they loved pointing out that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
