🚨IT’S HAPPENING: Supersonic Flight Is BACK

Thanks to Donald Trump, America is lifting the 52-year-old ban on supersonic travel.

The age of slow, stagnant air travel is OVER.

Boom Supersonic says it’s now “inevitable.”

Thread: how Trump just rebooted the future 🧵 Image
2/ For decades, politicians said supersonic jets were impossible.

The 1973 ban on civilian supersonic flight over U.S. soil held back Concorde, killed the Boeing 2707 in the cradle.

Trump just ended it. Image
3/ Meet Boom Supersonic.

They’re building a 21st-century Concorde:
🛩 Overture jet
🚀 Mach 1.7
🌍 NYC to London: under 4 hours
🌎 Chicago to London: 4.5 hours
🌐 Global reach, coast-to-coast capability

And now? They can finally fly over America. Image
4/ Why now?

Boom just broke the sound barrier—without a sonic boom reaching the ground.

That tech is called “boomless cruise.”

Trump saw that and moved fast.
Executive order signed. Ban lifted.

The future? Unleashed. Image
5/ Trump was crystal clear:

✈️ “The industry has gone backward.”
🎨 Concorde was “a work of art.”
🧠 “The sonic boom was never the problem. We’ve figured it out.”
📈 “We regressed. Now we’re going to progress.”

And just like that: He flipped the switch. Image
6/ This is more than jets.

It’s about restoring American greatness:
🔧 Engineering
🚀 Aerospace
🛡 Military innovation
💼 Business travel
🇺🇸 Patriotism and pride

Trump just cracked open a trillion-dollar industry—and made it American again. Image
7/ Boom’s founder says the ban helped kill Boeing.

Think about it:
From the Wright Brothers to 707s, planes got faster.
Then the government said: no more.

And the best minds left aerospace for Google, Amazon, and Meta.

Trump reversed that death spiral. Image
8/ This is how you win the 21st century.

Not with ESG or DEI.

With:
✅ Engineers
✅ Vision
✅ Real people building real things
✅ The courage to say: we can do better

Trump didn’t just lift a ban. He re-lit the furnace of innovation. Image
9/ The future was stalled by bad policy.

Trump un-stalled it.

Expect supersonic jets on transatlantic routes soon.
Supersonic private jets over U.S. cities.

Aviation transformed.
Productivity unchained.

We are flying again. Image

🇨🇳🇷🇺🚨THREAD: Russia Could Distract NATO to Help China Invade Taiwan, NATO Chief Warns

Sec-Gen Mark Rutte sounded the alarm: If China invades Taiwan, expect Russia to “keep Europe busy” — to divide and conquer.

Rutte: “We cannot be naïve.”

He's not wrong.

🧵 Image
2/ At a June 23 NATO presser in the Netherlands, Rutte warned of China’s “massive military buildup” and confirmed what many suspected: The CCP is preparing for war — and Taiwan is the target. Image
3/ A few years ago, China had zero defense firms in the global top 10.

Now it has five.

They’re not building tanks and missiles for show — they’re building to use them. And Xi has ordered his forces to be ready to take Taiwan by 2027. Image

🚨 BREAKING: The Senate just dropped its version of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. And it’s packed.

✅ Permanent tax cuts
✅ No tax on tips
✅ Major wins for seniors, families, and business
✅ Green energy cuts
✅ Foreign tax revenge

Let’s break it down ⬇️ Image
2/ 🔥 TAX CUTS MADE PERMANENT

The Senate—and House—locks in Trump’s 2017 tax cuts:

✅ Lower brackets stay
✅ Child Tax Credit up to $2,200 (indexed to inflation)
✅ Seniors get up to $6,000 bonus deduction

This will help the working poor. It will also spark a boom. Image
3/ 💸 NO TAX ON TIPS — But here’s where the House wins.

Trump promised no tax on tips. The House keeps that promise fully—no cap. The Senate puts a $25K limit.

Boo! Hiss!

Keep your word. Don’t punish waitresses because D.C. wants a ceiling. Image

🚨HUGE DEBANKING WIN: The Federal Reserve just eliminated “reputation risk” from bank exams.

Translation: Banks can’t shut you down for being conservative, Christian, pro-life, or pro-crypto anymore.

Trump promised to dismantle the weaponized state. This is BIG.👇 Image
2/ For years, banks used “reputation risk” as a fake excuse to cancel:

• Gun shops
• Churches
• Conservative orgs
• Crypto firms
• Pro-life nonprofits

Now even the Fed admits: that standard was abused—and it’s over. Image
Image
3/ Fed Chair Powell was blunt: he was “struck” by the growing number of debanking cases linked to religion and politics.

This wasn’t a conspiracy theory. It was real.

And Trump’s administration just buried it. With a LOT of help from my friends at @ADFLegal and @SFOF_States Image

🚨BREAKING: Iran's Threat to Close the Strait of Hormuz is Pure Theater

The Left is screaming “World War III.”
Libertarians are doomscrolling oil charts.
Democrats blame Trump.

But here’s the reality👇

🧵 Image
2/ Let’s start with Iran’s “retaliation.”

They launched missiles at a U.S. base.
Qatar shot them all down. Not even us. Qatar.

And Iran even warned us the missiles were coming, so they wouldn't kill anyone!

They just needed propaganda footage.

They’re terrified of Trump. Image
3/ Then there's the vote to “close” the Strait of Hormuz.

Big talk.
Non-binding.
Requires approvals from the mullahs.

A stunt, not a strategy.
They’re saber-rattling — because they’re losing. Badly. Image

🚨 THREAD: Democrats Need Censorship To Win

Obama just came out again for government speech control.

Here’s why the Left needs censorship to survive—and why they’re panicking now more than ever

🧵 Image
2/ At a Connecticut Forum this week, Barack Obama sounded the alarm about “propaganda.”

He claimed the “information space” is so full of “poop” (his word, meaning disagreement with him), Americans can’t tell what’s true anymore.

His solution?

Government control of speech. 👇 Image
3/ “We need to experiment with new forms of journalism… and government regulatory constraints on platforms,” Obama said.

He even pushed to train kids on “what’s a fact” vs. “what’s opinion.”

Because only Democrats get to decide what’s true. 🙄 Image

🚨 THREAD: What Happens If the Iranian Regime Falls?

The Islamic Republic’s foundations are cracking.

With command structures collapsing and elite generals eliminated, Iran’s dictatorship may be on the brink.

Here’s what could come next — and why it matters 🧵 Image
2/ "The regime’s command and control structures are collapsing at a rapid pace."
— Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi

The Islamic Republic may not survive this war. But what replaces it?

There are 4 major scenarios experts see — and one of them is a nightmare. Image
3/ SCENARIO 1: Internal Coup or Military Fracture

With IRGC generals eliminated, Iran’s regular army may rise.

Insiders could quietly organize regime change from within, backed by disillusioned IRGC officers.

Think Soviet collapse — swift, shocking, and largely bloodless. Image
