Karoline Leavitt Forces the Media to Eat Their Words in Brutal White House Smackdown
For once, the smug press had to sit down, shut up, and face reality as Leavitt made them look in the mirror.
🧵 THREAD
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt (27) just delivered her second press briefing. After winning over MAGA with her impressive debut, she didn’t disappoint—giving the media yet another dose of reality.
The press briefing started out with Leavitt announcing that, yes, President Trump will be imposing big tariffs, starting tomorrow, for “the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country, which has killed tens of millions of Americans.”
This includes:
• 25% tariffs on Mexico
• 25% tariffs on Canada
• 10% tariffs on China
“These are promises made and promises kept by the president,” Leavitt said.
In a moment of glory, Leavitt reminded a room full of smug White House reporters that President Trump’s so-called “conspiracy theory” about the COVID lab leak turned out to be true, as confirmed by the CIA’s recent assessment favoring the lab leak theory as the most likely origin of the virus.
“Several years ago... President Trump would take to this podium to brief the American people on COVID-19, he suggested that COVID very well may have come from a lab in Wuhan, China, and many members in this very room mocked him for that.
“Said he was spewing conspiracy theories. He was not. We now know that to be the confirmable truth. It took many years for it to come out, but the president was right in this instance—again,” Leavitt said.
Leavitt also made it crystal clear to reporters that the federal government will hire based on competence, merit, and skill—not DEI.
“People should not be hired based on their disabilities, based on their skin color, their gender, their race.
“None of that matters. What matters to this president and this administration is how well you can do your job. And the American people agree with that sentiment. So it’s about competence, skill, and merit. And so the president is focused on ensuring that the most competent individuals, the best and the brightest in this country, are in positions in this federal government, especially when it comes to public safety. Can’t overemphasize the importance of those jobs.”
As the press briefing neared its end, Leavitt landed another unexpected blow, flipping the script on a reporter’s attempt to frame Trump’s speaking style as a character flaw.
REPORTER: “If you can shed any light for us on how the president perceives his use of public profanity, which is a practice that certainly sets him apart from all of his predecessors. Does he regard it as an effective communications device, part of his appeal, or is it something that he lapses into inadvertently, perhaps, in times of frustration and later regrets?”
LEAVITT: “I think one of the things that the American people love most about this president is that he often says what they are thinking but sometimes lacks the courage to say themselves. And I think yesterday at this podium, you heard President Trump express great frustration, perhaps even anger, with the previous administration’s policies, many of which have led to the crises that our country is currently facing and that this president is focused on fixing.”
It’s hard to believe Karoline Leavitt is only 27 years old. Today, she carried herself with poise, grace, and razor-sharp wit—effortlessly countering the media’s relentless smear attacks against President Trump.
Not even a shred of media spin could land a blow on Trump today. If this is just the beginning, the press is in for a very long four years.

In case you missed it, RFK Jr. stunned critics with a masterclass Senate confirmation performance. Watch all the highlights in the thread below:
Your nerves don't tell your brain that something hurts.
They send energy, and that energy can be redirected.
A little girl's legs had hurt every day for 7 years. Not one minute of relief. Then her mom stuck a patch on her. Within seconds she was sobbing:
"Mom, it's gone. It's completely gone."
This was no ordinary patch. It's closer to an antenna — and it came out of a military project. 🧵
A five-foot antenna and an 80-pound backpack. That’s what one man on every deployed Navy SEAL team had to haul out of a plane in 2012, and if that antenna broke on the jump, the team couldn’t communicate back.
Mike Hammond wasn’t trying to build a wellness product. He was a serial entrepreneur fresh off a company exit when a friend from business school asked him to invest in a military antenna project out of Utah. The mission: shrink that five-foot rig into something a soldier could actually carry.
They did it. In Mike’s words, “they basically shrunk that five foot antenna down to the size of a credit card by shifting it to work on electrical microcurrents instead of magnetic fields.”
Then came the part that matters for you: your body runs on those same microcurrents. It’s the current keeping your heart beating while you read this. And when something hurts, your nerves fire that same energy up to your brain.
The patch is, quite literally, an antenna for it. Mike explains: “when your nerves create that energy that goes up to your neural pathway to the brain, when it hits our patch, it’s easier for that energy to go into the patch instead of up to the brain.”
You can feel it happening. Put it on and the patch gets warm. “Well, that’s your energy going into the patch. That’s why it warms up.”
No drugs enter your body. Nothing shocks your nerves like a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit. And after five clinical trials, Mike says the results keep repeating: “it’s going to work on 85% of people, most are going to have results within 15 minutes and the average decrease is going to be over 60%.”
He adds: “It’s actually floored our doctors how similar every single trial’s been, even with different types of elements.”
And the track record at scale, according to Mike: “we’ve sold over 800,000 of these in the last few years and we haven’t had anyone call us with side effects because we’re not putting anything into the body.”
Tired of chronic discomfort slowing you down? Back, knees, shoulders, that time of the month. You don’t have to keep reaching for pills or messy creams.
Signal Relief is a reusable, drug-free patch with patented micro-antenna technology. When your body fires those frantic signals to your brain, the patch quietly intercepts them, so you feel relief, often in just minutes.
Clinically tested, lasts up to a full year, and backed by a 45-day money-back guarantee.
How many times have you heard someone say: “I got the flu shot, and I still got the flu anyway”?
Bill Maher says he once got the flu shot and “immediately” came down with the flu.
Lara Trump’s mother had an even worse experience. As a nurse, she got the flu shot every year—and “every time [she’d] ever gotten it, [she’d] get the flu immediately after it.”
Now, she doesn’t get it anymore.
Why do so many people get sick after the flu shot?
This thread explores why that happens—and what really happens inside the body right after a vaccine. 🧵
For decades, vaccines have been marketed as “safe and effective.”
No questions. Nothing else to consider. Safe and effective. Full stop.
But a mountain of buried medical research and endless reports from the vaccine-injured show a very different pattern—one that has repeated for more than a century.
In disease after disease, across multiple countries and multiple eras, vaccines have a weird habit of triggering or worsening the very illnesses they are supposed to be preventing.
Strange.
This occurrence isn’t fringe. It’s documented, replicated, and historically well known.
But millions of people—doctors, teachers, parents, friends—pretend it isn’t.
And even when they do offer a protective effect for some disease, they can leave your immune system weakened and vulnerable to other infections that can end up killing you. Just look at what happened in Guinea-Bissau.

You've heard of Flock cameras, but have you heard of NEMA nodes? Those unassuming little plugs on virtually every streetlight in America, silently turning your city's lighting grid into an always-on, AI-powered surveillance mesh that knows exactly where you sleep, drive, and walk... every single night.
What started as 'smart energy saving' has morphed into the backbone of a nationwide tracking system — powering cameras, sensors, and data fusion that governments and tech giants can tap into with a few clicks. No warrants needed when the infrastructure is already watching.
Tonight, @zeeemedia pulls back the socket on NEMA nodes: how they fit into the bigger surveillance grid, and why your local streetlight might know more about you than your own phone. 🧵
Flock cameras became a household name for a reason. The license plate reader network has been tied to documented cases of police officers misusing it to stalk women, and researchers have demonstrated how easily the systems can be hacked and abused, with reports suggesting predators have exploited that weakness.
But while public attention stayed on the cameras, a quieter buildout was happening overhead. Modern LED streetlights across America are being fitted with NEMA control nodes, small modules mounted on top of the fixture. In their simplest form, these are just photocells that turn the light on at dusk and off at dawn. But the newer generation are smart lighting controllers that let a municipality or utility monitor the light, dim it remotely, detect failures, and manage energy use.
The concern being raised is what else they can carry. Modern nodes can include wireless communication, and while the node itself generally does not contain a camera, many are being installed with the ability to add camera capabilities later. The infrastructure goes in first. The sensors come after.
The scale is already significant. In Washington D.C. alone, roughly 75,000 streetlights have reportedly been upgraded with advanced Internet of Things capable nodes. Much of this buildout accelerated during the COVID lockdowns, when infrastructure went up across cities while residents were told to stay home, and most of it went unnoticed.

A registered nurse with 30 years of experience treating chronic pain says she saw “TEN TIMES” the positive effects after combining DMSO with castor oil for her peripheral neuropathy.
Castor oil already has anti-inflammatory properties.
But adding DMSO is where she says it “got interesting.”
That’s because DMSO “isn’t just a treatment, it’s a carrier,” Danielle Minetti explained.
“It can pull medications and nutrients right through the skin barrier deep into the body.”
When Danielle combined it with castor oil, she says the results increased “ten times.”
DMSO acted as the delivery system, carrying the castor oil deeper into the areas where she needed relief most.
But DMSO’s potential extends far beyond peripheral neuropathy.
And if you’re one of the 5 million Americans living with carpal tunnel syndrome, this is where the DMSO story gets really interesting.
Because it turns out carpal tunnel may not be caused by overuse after all. 🧵
Somewhere between the wrist pain that shows up after years of typing and the keyboard sitting under your fingers right now, there’s a design decision nobody remembers making.
It wasn’t an accident. It was a deliberate engineering choice made to solve a mechanical problem.
But that problem that stopped mattering almost a century ago. And the fix that’s still shaping our hands today has far outlived it.
Early typewriters had a real problem: type two adjacent keys too quickly and the mechanism would jam.
The fix was mechanical, not electronic. Spread the commonly paired letters as far apart as possible so fingers physically couldn’t hit them fast enough to jam the machine.
That layout is the same one you’re using right now.
That was over a century ago.
Mechanical jamming stopped being a problem once electric typewriters showed up. Computers can’t jam at all.
YouTuber Dan Schaeffer says he “completely cleared” his sinuses by combining DMSO, purified water, and colloidal silver into a nasal spray.
One squirt up each nose twice a day, and the results were “amazing.”
“No pressure, no nothing.”
Dan’s experience is not an isolated one.
In 1992, Russian researchers found that treating children with sinusitis using a 10% DMSO solution followed by local oxygenation provided complete relief in 49 of 52 cases.
DMSO is a cheap substance you can typically find online for under $30.
Turns out it can do much more for your respiratory system than just clear your sinuses. 🧵
Most people think respiratory infections are something you just have to “ride out.”
You get congested. Your throat hurts. Your sinuses clog. Maybe it turns into a cough, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe it moves into your chest, maybe it doesn’t.
So you take a decongestant, stock up on tissues, drink fluids, wait a few days, and hope it passes.
But that entire model skips one of the most important parts of the story:
Where many respiratory infections actually begin.
Respiratory viruses don’t typically start as deep lung infections.
They often begin in the upper airway—the nose, sinuses, throat, and nasopharynx.
That matters because the early stage of the illness may be happening in areas that are much easier to reach than the lungs.
In other words, by the time people are talking about bronchitis, pneumonia, oxygen levels, and hospital care, they may have already missed the window of opportunity.
Are flavor enhancers used by nearly every major food brand being developed with cells derived from an aborted baby?
Tonight’s special report presents shocking evidence tracing the dark history of these additives and the powerful companies operating behind the label.
Most people have never heard of HEK293 cells. And two reassuring words—“natural flavors”—are concealing a disturbing story the food industry hoped you would never uncover. 🧵
HEK293 is a human cell line originally derived in the early 1970s from kidney tissue taken from a single fetus, believed to have come from an aborted pregnancy.
The cells are used as laboratory tools, not food ingredients.
Researchers can engineer them to express human taste receptors. When a chemical compound activates one of those receptors, the cells produce a measurable signal showing whether a person may perceive it as sweet, bitter, salty, or cooling.
That allows laboratories to screen thousands of potential flavor compounds without putting each one through a human tasting panel.
Senomyx, a biotechnology company that developed flavor enhancers and taste modulators, described this process in its patents. The patents shown in the report identify HEK293 as a preferred cell line for assays designed to find compounds that produce or modify sweet taste.
The cells remain in the laboratory.
“The cells themselves were not added to food products,” Maria explained. Senomyx maintained that no fetal cells or tissue entered finished consumer products.
That distinction answers what a food physically contains.
It does not settle whether the process used to develop it is ethically acceptable.
Supporters argue that HEK293 has been reproduced in laboratories for decades and is now far removed from the original abortion. They point to its value in medical and scientific research, especially when no suitable alternative exists.
@zeeemedia rejects that calculation.
“It doesn’t matter how many years it’s been since that point, that child was still murdered.”
For people who share that conviction, the question is not simply whether fetal material remains in a soda, cereal, vaccine, or medication.
It is whether that product was created using knowledge obtained through a cell line they believe should never have existed.
The dispute does not end with the final ingredient list.
It begins inside the research process—and the next problem is where that process disappears.
Health insurance in America is broken.
Over 200,000 Americans go bankrupt because of medical bills every year—and many of them already had insurance. On average, 20% of claims are denied, leaving families stuck paying massive out-of-pocket costs after spending thousands on premiums.
But there’s an alternative.
CrowdHealth is a community-powered model that has helped members fund over 40,000 medical bills at a fraction of the cost of traditional insurance.
So far, 30,000+ members have been helped, saving an estimated $73 million in medical costs.
CrowdHealth isn’t insurance. It’s a way to step outside the broken system and take control of your healthcare.
