Let me tell you a story about the Navy. The $1.2 billion USS Bonhomme Richard was destroyed by a fire in 2020 while it sat in the San Diego bay. The Navy blamed it on a white kid who was frustrated at the Navy’s incompetence, bureaucracy & sclerosis—tried to put him away for life Image
Image
Image
Image
After the white kid had been locked up for months (years?), halfway thru the trial to put him away for life, the prosecution admitted their original arson suspect was a “PoC” who actually had lots of evidence against him (unlike the white kid) but that they had to switch targets: Image
Image
Image
Image
It also later came out that the white kid had acted heroically & competently during the fire, unlike pretty much all of his pretty much all PoC peers, & that he’d raised specific concerns relating to the risk of fire that later consumed the ship. & this is what made them hate him Image

For nearly a half a century, the Iranian regime has been slaughtering Americans. President Trump is doing what other Presidents have refused to do — eliminate the Iranian threat so no more American blood is spilled by these terrorists.

🧵THREAD:
November 1979: Iranian students, backed by the regime, seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran — taking 66 Americans hostage in a 444-day standoff.

April 1983: The Islamic Jihad, an Iran-backed terrorist group, carried out a suicide car bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 17 Americans.

Iran killed a French soldier with a Shahed drone.

Zelenskyy: The US and Gulf states asked Ukraine for anti-drone systems. We remember how long we waited for help in the first days of the war. Now we help those who helped us first.

1/
Zelenskyy: Sanctions on Russia must remain. If you lift sanctions control, Putin earns money.

He puts this money into Shahed drones and sends them to Iran, and the Iranian regime uses them to strike American bases or airports.

2/
Zelenskyy: Criticism exists, and the fact that you know about it shows democracy is alive in Ukraine

In Russia there is no criticism. One person decides everything and everyone else obeys

Season of Arrows: Russia's 2026 Offensive

The Season is open, and there have been many valuable threads and articles covering individual fronts, both recent and historical. Before diving into the details, it is worth stepping back to examine the broader operational picture. Image
Russia is currently operating five Army Groups along the front line, with an additional Northern Screening Group whose primary purpose is border raiding, harassment of AFU positions, and fixing Ukrainian forces in place.

AGs act separately but will be forced to cooperate.
The major objective of Russia's 2026 offensive campaign should be assessed as Kramatorsk. The prerequisites for this operation are nearly complete. The secondary objective is Zaporizhzhia, an axis that has been partially disrupted by AFU counter-operations. The third objective is border consolidation — expanding and formalizing the buffer zone into Ukrainian territory.

Three Russian Army Groups are expected to converge on the Kramatorsk operation, Two at Zaporizhzhia, and whatever Skirmish Army will do.

1/🚨On September 11, 2015, Margaret Chan — Director General of the WHO — delivered the opening address at a conference secretly funded, directed, and operationally controlled by Jeffrey Epstein.

The proof has been sitting in the federal archive for 2 months.

No outlet has touched it.

Until today. 🧵👇Image

2/ Inside the federal archive: EFTA02676303.

The internal name: "The Rothschild Conference on Health and Security."

🔗EFTA02676303.justice.gov/epstein/files/…

The public name at the UN: "Preparing for Pandemics."

🔗EFTA02702398 justice.gov/epstein/files/…

The funder's name was stripped before the doors opened.

4 pages. Free to read.Image

3/ The concept note names its partners as co-equals:
WHO. ICRC. UNHCR. MSF.

"The Edmond de Rothschild Foundations and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation."

The Gates Foundation had declined to fund it 6 months earlier.

Their name is in the document anyway. Image

1/ Weil hier schon allerseits nach den Bildern von gestern aus Budapest das Ende von Orbán besungen wird, will ich mal etwas Wasser in den Wein gießen. Ich war die ganze letzte Woche in Ungarn unterwegs und gestern sowohl auf Orbáns Demo wie auf jener der Opposition unter Péter Magyar. Ganz offensichtlich: Auf Magyars Demo waren deutlich mehr Menschen, und sie waren jünger, gebildeter, städtischer. Bei Orbán war das einfache Volk: Angestellte, Arbeiter, eher vom Land. Und es waren weniger. ABER:Image
2/ Es ist nicht ausgemacht, dass Magyar mit seiner Tisza-Partei die Wahlen gewinnen wird. Tisza führt zwar in seriösen Umfragen seit Monaten deutlich, aber angesichts des Wahlrechts in Ungarn reicht es nicht, eine einfache Mehrheit der Stimmen zu bekommen: Von den 199 Abgeordneten werden 106 direkt gewählt und 93 mit Verhältniswahl über Parteilisten. Orbán hat die Wahlbezirke zu Gunsten von Fidesz verändert. Ein vom Portal 444 veröffentlichte Karte zeigt, wie offen derzeit die Lage ist: In 28 Wahlbezirken ist unklar, wer das Rennen macht. Das liegt auch daran, dass sich in Umfragen sehr viele Ungarn noch unentschieden zeigen, wem sie ihre Stimmen geben.Image
3/ Und: Orbán Viktor ist ein altes politisches Schlachtross und wird nun alle Register ziehen, um die "Wackelkandidaten" zu überzeugen. Er hat angekündigt, ab nächster Woche zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit wieder auf die offene Bühne zu gehen, auf die Plätze der ungarischen Städte. Gerade da hatte ihm Magyar über die letzten zwei Jahre komplett den Rang abgelaufen. Und die Regierung kann bis zur Wahl noch das ein oder andere "Geschenk" aus dem Hut zaubern. Zum 1. Januar wurden bereits die Löhne von Lehrern um 10 Prozent erhöht, und seit 2026 sind nicht nur Mütter von 3, sondern sogar von 2 Kindern lebenslang von der Einkommenssteuer befreit. Wer auf der Orbán-Demo unterwegs war, der traf auf Leute, bei denen so etwas ankommt.

You have no future here and must leave is what an IDF commander told five Palestinian communities in the Jordan Valley, according to multiple testimonies. The reason: the army plans to build a “security” fence there. It reminds us of something. Spoiler: it’s not about security 🧵
The IDF is building a 22-km fence through the Jordan Valley, claimed to protect settlers and stop smuggling from Jordan. As always, it’s framed as a security measure. As always, Palestinians will pay the price: more land taken, more movement restrictions, more lives disrupted.
We’ve already seen this when Israel erected the West Bank separation barrier, which cut off more than 9% of the West Bank. The barrier functions as the border between Israel and the West Bank, and its construction has had a devastating impact on tens of thousands of Palestinians.

In an attempt to explain just why it is that some 77 million Americans voted for the dumbest man alive to be their president for a second time, I’m absolutely delighted to present you with the expanded list of US food that you cannot legally sell in Europe!🧵 Image
US Instant Mashed Potatoes

Stuffed with enough BHA and BHT preservatives to give the product an expiration date of absolutely never, most of Europe has outright banned the product, depriving Europeans from what is otherwise a cheap and convenient way to encourage hair loss.Image
US Fake Blueberries

Banned in the EU but found in nearly every US product claiming to have actual blueberries in it, the fake blueberries get their blue from a totally safe and tasty petroleum derived dye, one highly recommended for those looking to grow a third arm.Image

Manchester United have a clear identity under Michael Carrick.

With it looking increasingly likely he will get the job long-term, the real question is simple:

Is that identity good enough to win the Premier League and Champions League?

Below, I assess exactly that.

THREAD! 🚨Image
I have consistently likened Michael Carrick's style to Arne Slot's at Liverpool.

Defensively, there are cracks.

But because the idea is passive, United have a consistent +1 on the defensive line.

So, even when teams break through their lines, United have an extra man back.
We see a clear example of the intentions here:

Diamond press with Mainoo splitting the #6's and Casemiro balancing off to prevent the centre backs from jumping to McGinn.

It's a good press, but the very best pressing teams have the #6 and the CB's ready to jump if required. Image

In 2012, Brian Tracy literally gave a 1-hour sales masterclass worth more than an MBA.

His frameworks:
• The 90-minute truth
• Double face time = double income
• Collect NOs
• Be a doctor of selling

12 lessons better than a 4-year degree:
1. Sales is the ultimate default job

"Nobody goes forward into sales. We fall back into sales when nothing else is working."

"It's like driving a car and backing up and hitting something. You get out to see what it is, and it's a sales job."

"Sometimes your friends say: when are you going to get a real job?"
2. The 10x salesman who worked half the hours

"There was one man earning 10 times as much as anyone else. And he wasn't even working very hard."

"He would start at 9:30, have lunch with a prospect, make sales in the afternoon, quit at 5."

"He was selling the same product, same office, same price, same people, same conditions."

"So I asked him: what are you doing differently?"

Just had a brief phone call with @potus this morning and asked him several questions about Iran. He noted when he answered that it was not a good time to chat because he was in the middle of a "very important meeting" about it - but said the following:
He started with an overall assessment saying "we're doing very well," reiterating comments about destroying Iran's military. He added: "They want to make a deal but they're not ready to make a deal in my opinion."
On Kharg Island being hit: "Kharg Island is out of commission except for the pipes, which I left. I didn't want to hit the pipes because, you know, it's years of work to put them together."

En 2015, un joven millonario de Seattle decidió cometer lo que Wall Street llamó "el mayor suicidio financiero de la historia". Renunció a su sueldo de un millón de dólares para pagarles más a sus propios empleados. Y ocurrió un auténtico milagro. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Image
Dan Price era el fundador y director ejecutivo de Gravity Payments, una exitosa empresa de gestión de pagos. Ganaba la astronómica cifra de 1,1 millones de dólares al año, vivía rodeado de grandes lujos y la vida le sonreía como a cualquier poderoso magnate. Image
Pero todo cambió tras una dura conversación con su amiga Valerie. Ella trabajaba cincuenta horas a la semana y apenas le llegaba para pagar el alquiler de su casa. Dan se enfadó, pero luego se dio cuenta de que su propia empresa era parte de este gran problema social. Image

🇺🇸🇺🇦 "You don't have the cards right now," Pres Trump told Pres Zelensky.

Turns out, he has some cards after all.

Trump can deny it, but things are in motion behind the scenes, and now even Israel wants to talk drones with Kyiv.

Brief summary of my latest for CEPA.

1/10 🧵⬇️
After ignoring Ukraine's Aug 2025 pitch to bolster US cUAS capabilities in CENTCOM, US officials are quietly admitting they made a big mistake. Now Ukraine is deploying teams to assist US forces, and the Gulf States in countering the drone threat. Even Bibi is calling now.

2/10 https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polytics/4101690-netanyahu-seeks-call-with-zelensky-on-countering-iranian-drones-media.html
Ukraine has much to share. It goes beyond any one particular system, its all the tactics, techniques and procedures that Ukraine has. It's how they integrate everything together. It's valuable knowledge born of experience, and they know what its worth.

Compras un piso con una hipoteca de 150.000€ al 3%.

¿Sabes cuánto vas a acabar pagando en total?

Más de los que muchos piensan, por eso estamos en uno de los mejores momentos para comprar.

Te explico como funcionan 👇🏼
Ahora mismo estamos viendo hipotecas a tipo fijo incluso por debajo del 2%.

Y seguimos en un mercado alcista donde las viviendas van a seguir aumentando de valor.

Revalorización de tu inversión + Ahorro de intereses.
Una hipoteca es un acuerdo al que llegan dos partes para adquirir una propiedad, siendo una de las partes normalmente un banco.

Se trata de un préstamo garantizado, asique en caso de incumplimiento, el banco tiene el derecho de hacer lo que quiera con la propiedad.

1/ Leaked orders from the Russian Ministry of Defence show that Telegram is being banned immediately for operational use by Russian forces in Ukraine, with soldiers reportedly facing being sent to their deaths in assaults if they are found not to be complying. ⬇️ Image
Image
Image
2/ The orders, published by 'Unmanned Brotherhood' on Telegram, are intended to "counter enemy technical reconnaissance means, close possible leakage channels and prevent the disclosure of information about the actions of troops in the area of ​​a special military operation".
3/ They impose a strict ban on the use by soldiers of Telegram, which is now to be treated as a "gross disciplinary offence":

🔴🔵BARÇA 5 - SEVILLA 2

RADIOGRAFIA A XAVI ESPART

Analizo qué características hacen de él un lateral distinto al resto y otras cosas del partido aquí

Con @KlipDraw + @Effmatch + @adnaaan433 + @gusfop @xaaviiespart

HILO 👇👇👇 Image
Image
Image
BANDA DERECHA NUEVA Y POSICIONAL: El once de Flick contó con dos novedades resaltables. La primera, la de Roony como extremo derecho y, la segunda , la de Xavi Espart como lateral formando una banda derecha inédita.

@Effmatch Image
Y ese costado tuvo una responsabilidad muy posicional.Xavi Espart no fue un lateral de proyección ofensiva sino un lateral interior que guardó la posición atrás siendo el tercer elemento de la salida de tres que el conjunto azulgrana hizo. Image
