Just in: 🧵The Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that priests have an absolute "property right" that shields them from lawsuits related to allegations of child sexual abuse. Image The Due Process Clause of the Constitution ensures that no one is “deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.”

No, DEI is not the reason Boeing is having safety issues. 🔥🧵

During Donald Trump's presidency, a clear emphasis was placed on deregulation across various sectors of the American economy, with the aviation industry being no exception.

This approach was guided by the belief that reducing the regulatory burden on companies could spur innovation, reduce operational costs, and, ultimately, benefit consumers through lower prices and more choices.

“Trickle-down economics.”

This approach was marked by a series of policy adjustments, regulatory rollbacks, and shifts in oversight philosophy rather than a single sweeping action.

👇

Since Jared Kushner has made headlines today trading on his father-in-law's last name, it's a great time to remind people of how long he has been living off the Trump last name.

Jared Kushner passed CIA intelligence to the Saudi Crown Prince, marking certain individuals as adversaries with no subsequent inquiry, repercussions, or legal proceedings, is baffling.

I remain adamant in questioning, how has this oversight persisted.

The purported information sharing preceded a Saudi "anti-corruption" initiative, which has been associated with reports of torture and fatalities, yet received scant attention from established media outlets.

In parallel, following the Jamal Khashoggi affair, the Trump administration greenlit a transfer of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, bypassing the usual congressional briefing.

This narrative is bolstered by reputable news organizations, prompting speculation about underlying relationships and intentions.

The alignment of these events invites skepticism toward the notion of them being mere coincidences.

It appears imperative to delve deeper into the background and implications of these occurrences.Image It's noteworthy that John Brennan faced security clearance revocation for criticizing Trump, while Jared Kushner, primarily known for real estate development with limited government experience, maintained his security clearance for four years.
