🧵New Orleans just proved failing schools can be fixed at scale.

It became America’s first all-charter school district.

The results are staggering:

• 99th percentile nationally in reading growth
• 98th percentile in math growth
• The only state in America beating pre-pandemic levels in both subjects

This is what real reform looks like. THREAD 🧵 2/ Before Hurricane Katrina, the system was a disaster.

Over 60% of New Orleans public schools were rated failing. Kids attended chaotic, dangerous schools where constant disruptions made real learning almost impossible.

A generation was being failed by design.

Then the storm hit — and everything changed.

🚨 A generational Republican majority just became possible.

The Supreme Court ended racial gerrymandering, throwing dozens of artificial Democrat House seats into play.

But the 2030 Census is the real hammer — and it could lock in Republican control of the map for decades.

The structural advantage Democrats built for years is collapsing. 🧵 2/ Democrats built their power on three structural frauds:

• A rigged 2020 Census that stole House seats and electoral votes from red states.
• Counting illegal aliens for congressional apportionment and electoral votes.
• Racial gerrymandering that guaranteed them extra safe seats.

The Court just eliminated #3. The other two are on borrowed time. And the American people are already finishing the job by voting with their feet.

🧵@GovRonDeSantis just called a special session to abolish property taxes on Florida homes

If you must pay the state every year just to stay in the house you own outright…

You don’t own it. You rent it.

Florida is beginning the end of feudalism in America. 🧵 2/ An 91-year-old widow paid off her house 40 years ago.

All across America, one missed property tax payment and the state can take her home and put her on the street.

Her home — the one she owns free and clear — can be taken because she “owes rent” to the government.

That’s not ownership. That’s serfdom. It’s immoral.

🧵Democrats still cite Sweden as proof socialism works.

They’re lying.

The real Sweden survived by rejecting socialism — abolishing wealth taxes, protecting capital, expanding school choice, and becoming one of the world’s great startup nations.

Here’s the story they hope you never hear. 🧵 2/ By 1990, Sweden was a warning, not a model.

Bloated government. Banking collapse. Currency crisis. Public debt nearing 80% of GDP.

Socialism had run out of other people’s money.

Sweden hit the wall — then chose to change course instead of digging deeper.

🧵Justice Clarence Thomas just explained why Progressivism is collapsing — and why the only fight that now matters is what will replace it.

One of the rare speeches that's truly important.

This thread breaks it down. 🧵 2/ The core message: Progressivism is dying because it is fundamentally opposed to the American idea.

The Declaration of Independence did not create government. It stated its purpose: to protect God-given inalienable rights that all individuals equally possess.

Those ideas were powerful enough to end slavery and segregation. They cannot coexist forever with Progressivism.

🧵On paper, America has 11 aircraft carriers.

Trump has used American naval power more effectively in recent months than we’ve seen in decades.

But these successes reveal a deeper problem.

America needs 16 carriers — not 11. Here's why, and how.🧵 2/ Federal law requires “not less than 11 operational carriers.”

But the law counts carriers in a multi-year overhaul as “operational.” That can be six YEARS offline.

At any given moment, only about half our carriers are actually available for deployment.

🧵 Xi Jinping just invoked the Thucydides Trap with Trump.

Most assume this is a threat. But what if Xi is signaling something else — that he recognizes China is now in a weakened position against the United States and thus needs to avoid a war?

The historical record and current realities both suggest he has reason to worry.

Thread 🧵 2/ So what is "Thucydides Trap"?

Graham Allison documented 16 cases of rising powers challenging established ones.

Four ended in peace. But in the twelve that led to war, the established power defeated the rising power 7-5.

If Xi knows this history, he understands the odds are stacked against China — especially right now.

🧵Europe’s Green Deal is unraveling.

Centrally planned climate targets have delivered higher energy costs, industrial decline, and political revolt instead of the promised green utopia.

While Europe stagnates under mandates, America shows what market-driven progress looks like.

Thread 🧵 2/ Electricity in Europe now costs two to three times more than in the U.S. or China.

Taxes make up nearly a quarter of the bill. Binding net-zero rules, nuclear phase-outs, and unreliable renewables have created volatility and strangled industry.

Energy can be 30% of production costs. The result: deindustrialization.

🧵Cuba is America’s Taiwan.

CIA Director Ratcliffe flew to Havana yesterday and laid out Trump’s terms: $100M in immediate aid, embargo relief, and massive U.S. investment — but only if Cuba accepts real democratic reforms and boots China, Russia, and Iran off the island.

While the world watches Iran, this is happening 90 miles from Florida. 🧵 2/ Trump’s Western Hemisphere doctrine is already working.

Gulf of America. China squeezed in Panama. Maduro removed from Venezuela with zero American casualties.

Cuba is the last major hostile foothold on America’s doorstep — perfectly positioned to threaten the Gulf and Panama Canal approaches.

That changes now.

🧵The Democrats may not survive the Callais ruling.

The Supreme Court’s decision to curb race-based congressional districts strikes at the structural foundation of their House power.

I've been counting 21 such districts. But by the American Spectator's count, 122 of Democrats' 212 seats sit in majority-minority districts engineered along racial lines.

This is not a small correction. It is an existential threat to their current model. 2/ Those 122 districts are more than half of Democrats' entire caucus.

Every majority-Black district is represented by a Democrat. Most Hispanic-majority districts too.

Their coalition was built on racial mapmaking, not organic support.

🧵222 years ago today, America launched one of its boldest geopolitical moves.

On May 14, 1804, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis into the complete unknown.

This was not adventure for its own sake. It was strategy.

Few understand how close it came to deciding whether the United States would become a continental power — or stay a vulnerable coastal republic. 🇺🇸🗺️

🧵👇 2/ America had just 5.5 million people.

The Louisiana Purchase had doubled our size overnight, but we knew almost nothing about it. No maps. No roads. No forts.

European rivals watched from every direction.

An expedition to Mars today would be less daunting.

Jefferson sent them anyway.

🧵Trump has unlocked Venezuela’s massive oil reserves.

After U.S. forces removed Maduro in January, Exxon, Chevron, Shell and other majors are rushing into Caracas. The country with the world’s largest proved reserves is suddenly open again.

Socialism wrecked it. American strength is reopening it.
🧵 2/ Before Chávez and Maduro, Venezuela produced 3.5 million barrels per day.

Socialist policies, asset seizures, and incompetence crashed output to as low as 500,000 bpd. The nation with the most oil on Earth became a textbook case of resource mismanagement and poverty.

🚨 Dr. Oz just dropped a bombshell: Russia, China, and Cuba are running Medicaid fraud networks across America — stealing billions from U.S. taxpayers.

This isn’t random grift. It’s targeted exploitation of our system by hostile foreign actors.

The Trump administration is finally cracking down.

Here’s what we know. 🧵 2/ In Los Angeles: Russian government involvement in hospice fraud on an industrial scale: $600 million across nearly 500 providers.

One in three hospices in the entire United States are in LA.

Democrat leaders had the evidence back in 2022. They did zippo.

Like in Minnesota, this was happening in plain sight.

🧵 THE MAP IS CLOSING AROUND CHINA

While the media obsesses over tariffs, rare earths, and whatever communiqué comes out of Beijing today, the real story is the map.

Australia just signed a deal to buy eleven frigates from Japan.

This isn’t a procurement story. It’s the visible edge of a new American-led security architecture that is already boxing China in — and Trump is tightening it further as he sits down with Xi.

🧵👇 2/ Frigates are workhorses, not prestige toys. They patrol sea lanes, hunt submarines, escort convoys, and turn vast stretches of ocean into controlled space.

Australia’s new ships will help guard the northern approaches and the critical passages connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Many will be built in Australia, creating jobs, supply chains, maintenance capacity, and permanent strategic habits with Japan.

A foreign-bought ship can be delayed or canceled. A shipbuilding relationship turns diplomacy into steel.

🧵 BREAKING: The UAE Strikes Iran!

Iran has hammered the UAE. Now Abu Dhabi is striking back — covertly, decisively, and without a word publicly.

Some reports even suggest UAE special forces may be on the ground in Iran.

This changes everything.

Thread 🧵🔥 2/ The backdrop? Iran turned the UAE into its #1 target.

The UAE didn't even join the war! Yet hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones slammed into its airports, seaports, apartment buildings, hotels, and energy sites.

UAE air defenses knocked down most — but Iran's attacks continued.

🚨 How Trump is using the Iran war to squeeze China — right before this week's Trump-Xi summit.

While the world focuses on the Middle East, the U.S. is using its naval blockade and sanctions to cut off China’s supply of steeply discounted illegal Iranian oil.

Thread 👇 2/ Operation Economic Fury is starving Iran’s oil revenue — 90% of which flows straight to China through a Shadow Fleet of 500+ tankers.

China has been getting steeply discounted barrels paid in yuan to dodge sanctions.

Not anymore. 🇺🇸⚓

Pro-independence activists needed 177,732 signatures. They just delivered nearly 302,000.

Alberta’s Brexit moment is here. Ottawa can no longer dismiss Western alienation as fringe noise.

A reckoning is coming.

THREAD 🧵 2/ Alberta isn’t just another province with political gripes. It is the productive, energy-rich, conservative West — treated by Ottawa like a colony.

Equalization payments siphon billions east (mostly to Quebec). Pipelines are blocked. The energy sector is sabotaged. Values are mocked. Ottawa extracts wealth and demands gratitude.

This isn’t Confederation. It’s subjugation.

While the media obsesses over tariffs, Trump is quietly executing a masterclass in dollar dominance — and yanking real power away from the IMF and various globalist institutions.

This isn’t crisis aid. It’s strategic financial statecraft.

Thread 🧵🔥 2/ You may have never heard of currency swap lines. They aren’t new. But Trump & Bessent’s use of them is revolutionary.

They’re extending direct dollar facilities to Gulf states & Asian partners — creating a U.S.-controlled dollar network for nations China wants to peel away.

🧵The Iranian regime’s “oil storage clock” is ticking down to zero — and the U.S. Navy just turned up the dial.

Tankers are bottled up. No exports means no cash. With no revenue, even the mullahs can only last so long.

But it's even worse than that. ⏰🇺🇸 2/ Since Trump’s blockade began, 1.5+ million barrels per day have nowhere to go. Storage is nearly full.

Analysts say forced shut-ins hit mid-May to mid-June. $13 billion a month in regime revenue — gone.

And shut-in fields are damaged fields. Some may not recover.

🚨 NATO is unraveling.

But is that actually BAD?

Should America care?

And how do we turn our rich, freeloading “allies” into real partners instead of welfare dependents?

Thread. 🧵 2/ NATO was born in 1949 to stop the Soviet Empire. Stalin had a massive army pointed at Frankfurt, Paris, London. We didn’t want Soviet armies on the Atlantic coast aimed at New York and Virginia.

Better to fight them there than here, and save Europe in the process.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has canceled his upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping and announced 100% tariffs on Chinese goods starting Nov. 1.

His reason? Beijing just imposed global export controls on rare earths — the materials that power the modern world. 🧵👇 2/ China controls 92% of rare earth refining — metals essential for EVs, semiconductors, fighter jets, & submarines.

Beijing is weaponizing that — sending letters to nations warning it’ll restrict exports on “virtually anything.”

Trump called it “sinister and hostile.” ⚠️
