NEW: Corey Lewandowski tried to strong-arm his way into obtaining a gun from ICE, going so far as to make it a litmus test for a top candidate to become ICE director, DHS sources claim to the Daily Mail.
Lewandowski denied all the allegations and accused Trump Border Czar Tom Homan of leaking the story.
"I don't know how many times Tom Homan can pitch you the same story," Lewandowski said. "He's your source, not mine."
Lewandowski is said to have made the gun request of former ICE New York field director Tom Feeley in the spring, when he was under consideration for the agency's top spot.
"So would I be issued a gun?' Lewandowski asked Feeley, according to two sources familiar with the conversation.
Feeley replied: "You're not a cop" and added that Lewandowski would need formal training.
I’m thinking of starting a British Anti-Islam trust.
You’ll be able to call our helpline and report all the hateful things done in the name of Islam. We’ll feed that back to government who will consider what new laws to implement on our behalf.
I’m just going to apply for that £million from the government that was given to the British Muslim trust and away we go.

Nikola Tesla: The Most Comprehensive 🧵 on the Life, Achievements and Mystery of One of the World’s Greatest Minds.
1. Tesla was born in 1856 in Smiljan, then part of the Austrian Empire, in what is now modern-day Croatia.
He was born during a lightning storm, something later mythologised as an omen of his destiny.
His father, Milutin Tesla, was a Serbian Orthodox priest and a gifted writer. He wanted Nikola to enter the clergy.
His mother, Đuka Tesla, had no formal education, yet she engineered and built mechanical household tools by hand and possessed an extraordinary memory.
Tesla's parents, Milutin and Duka, with their children:
2. Tesla possessed an extraordinary form of visualisation.
He could design machines entirely in his mind, construct them piece by piece, rotate them, run them, and test them for wear and flaws, all without touching paper.
He claimed he could operate his inventions mentally for weeks, identify weaknesses, and refine them before ever building a physical prototype.
He rarely made sketches because, in his words, the image in his mind was perfectly clear.
Multiple colleagues later confirmed that his finished devices often matched his mental designs with uncanny precision.
Left image: A young Nikola Tesla.
Right image: His mother, Đuka Tesla, whom he credited with giving him his mechanical intuition.
Former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper agreed to fast-track the release of 3,500 inmates as part of a racial equity settlement with the NAACP—and the list included 51 convicts serving life sentences for murder or rape, @AndrewKerrNC reports.
@AndrewKerrNC The “early release” list, obtained by Cox’s WSOC-TV as Cooper campaigns for the state’s open Senate seat, came as part of a 2021 settlement with the NAACP, which sued the state over crowded prisons during the pandemic.
@AndrewKerrNC The NAACP claimed COVID-era prison conditions were unconstitutional and disproportionately endangered black inmates.

Wer Bohrplattformen baut, braucht valide Schätzungen, wie hoch der Meeresspiegel steigen wird.
1989 setzte die Regierung George H. W. Bush das Global Change Research Program USGCRP auf.

In 1996, a Cuban pilot observed a US government fumigation plane spraying an unknown substance over Matanzas Province. Shortly thereafter, an invasive pesticide-resistant insect never before seen in Cuba, the Thrips palmi, was discovered devouring potato crops in Matanzas.
The Thrips palmi was later found in neighboring provinces, among corn, beans, pumpkins, cucumbers, and other crops. Despite the Cuban government's best efforts to eradicate the pest, the palmi plague persisted.
The US provided a flimsy excuse—that the US pilot was marking his position with smoke generator, something this plane was not outfitted for and would have been unnecessary because Cuban ATC had already radioed the US plane asking if they were having any technical difficulties.
George Kittle just confirmed something 49ers players had known for years: the leaves on the trees above the fence by the electrical substation were dead.
No leaves, year-round, and last year the NFL came in and cut them all down.
No testing. No soil analysis. Just gone.
Kittle's observation isn't new to scientists, who have been documenting this for two decades.
In 2016, Dr. Cornelia Waldmann-Selsam published a study in Science of The Total Environment tracking 120 trees near cell towers in Germany. The finding: trees showed damage specifically on the side facing the antenna—yellowing leaves, premature drop, dead branches—while the shielded side remained healthy.
1/ Russian ultra-nationalist ideologue Alexander Dugin predicts that Western civilization will collapse due to the Epstein files, clearing the way for Russia and China to take over. He calls for all-out opposition to the West, and for Russia to save Iran from Donald Trump. ⬇️
2/ Dugin writes:
"The West, thanks to Epstein's lists, is beginning to crumble before our eyes. Russia and China have a historic opportunity to become the beneficiaries of the total collapse of the entire Western system.
3/ "Now it's no longer a matter of right or left, if they have a "right" like Epstein Island (or a left). It's time to end the West.
A new macaque study looked at how immune memory forms after infections with different SARS-CoV-2 variants.
The main pattern is familiar from other viruses -
immune imprinting tends to stay biased toward earlier variants, even after later infections.🧵
The model is useful because it allows sequential infections under controlled conditions (Wuhan - Delta - Omicron), something that’s hard to observe clearly in humans.
Omicron as a primary infection = relatively weak new immune imprint
After first Omicron infection in macaques -
variant-specific anti-Omicron RBD antibodies developed slowly
overall immunogenicity was lower
T-cell responses were also weaker.
On Tuesday, James Karbach, the Director of Legislative Policy at the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender spoke AGAINST HB26-1082 to put criminals convicted of child sex trafficking in jail for life...
What was one of his arguments? If someone solicits sex from someone they thought was 18 years old and they turn out to be a minor, the "john" get life in prison... he thinks that's a bad idea...
And then two days later, House Democrats introduce a bill to decriminalize prostitution...
Of note, here are the organizations whose lobbyists registered opposition to HB26-1082, the bill that would put child sex trafficking criminals in jail for life:
The ACLU of Colorado
Colorado Criminal Defense Bar
League of Women Voters Colorado
New Era Colorado
And here are the organizations whose lobbyists registered opposition to SB26-015, the weaker anti-child rape bill that will only slightly increase penalties:
ACLU of Colorado
Colorado Criminal Defense Bar
Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition
Colorado Freedom Fund
I just moved 30% of my portfolio to CASH.
Not because I'm scared.
Because cash is about to become the highest-performing "asset" of the next 3 years.
This will sound insane until you understand deflation. 🧵
Everyone thinks cash is trash:
"Inflation is eating your purchasing power!"
"Cash is for suckers!"
"You need inflation hedges!"
This narrative works in an inflationary environment.
We're not in one. We're entering deflation.
In deflation, cash is KING:
Your dollars BUY MORE as prices fall
Real purchasing power INCREASES
While everyone else's "hedges" collapse
It's the ultimate contrarian trade.
