If you have an Apple developer account or an app in the App Store, read this now and share it.
Apple rejects your app. The notice is vague, so you fix what you reasonably think is wrong and resubmit.
Apple approves it.
Months later, with nothing in review, Apple terminates your account under 3.2(f) for “a pattern of manipulative or misleading behavior.” Every app gone. No explanation of what you did.
Your crime? Trusting the approval.
Apple’s own reviewer looked at your fix, with your rejection history in front of them, and said yes. Then Apple turned that yes into evidence against you.
So who’s misleading whom?
I ran App Review for seven years and wrote the guidelines. 3.2(f) used to mean real fraud. Now it’s being used against developers who did exactly what Apple approved.
I’ve made this Substack post free for everyone. Every developer needs to see it before this happens to them.
Share it before someone you know gets that email.

Today is another year without my daughter, Brianna Long, and the weight of it still feels impossible.
I struggle to call it an anniversary. It was the day everything broke.
Brianna was murdered by gang members while she was at work in Valdosta, Georgia. We are still waiting for a trial. Still waiting for answers. Still trying to move through a life that no longer makes sense.
I miss her in ways I can’t fully put into words—her voice, her face, the ordinary moments I used to take for granted.
I find myself wondering who she would have become and what we would have shared. Grief has narrowed my world. Most days I work and come home.
The things I used to enjoy no longer feel like mine. Learning to live without her has been the hardest thing I have ever faced.
Please keep our family in your prayers. Pray for strength, for answers, and for justice for Brianna. Nothing will bring her back. We know that.
But she deserves accountability, and we deserve the truth. We will keep holding on to the hope that it comes soon.
Brianna, not a day passes that we don’t miss you. You are loved. You are remembered. Your life mattered, and we will keep speaking your name.
My sweet Bri Bri, I love you more than words can hold. Until we meet again.
Mommy loves you always. 🌹

• James Risch (R-ID)
• Tim Scott (R-SC)
• John Thune (R-SD)
• Thom Tillis (R-NC)
🚨 33 U.S. SENATORS WANT MORE FOREIGN WORKERS.
Republicans AND Democrats.
They're urging the Trump administration to issue the maximum number of additional H-2B visas for 2027.
Their argument? American workers alone can't meet employers' needs.
Here's my question:
Before expanding foreign-worker programs, shouldn't employers have to prove they offered competitive wages and genuinely tried to hire Americans?
A labor shortage and a shortage of workers willing to accept the offered wage aren't necessarily the same thing.

Shot Through the Chest on His 17th Birthday, This High School Wrestler Heard the Click—and Charged
It was supposed to be an ordinary morning.
Then the rifle went quiet, and Jake Ryker decided it was enough.
On the morning of his seventeenth birthday, Jake Ryker sat in the Thurston High cafeteria in Springfield, Oregon, talking with his girlfriend, Jennifer Alldredge.
Students milled around before class—some eating, some campaigning for student government, most treating the morning as ordinary. Then 15-year-old Kip Kinkel walked in with a rifle and opened fire.
The room broke into panic. Jake saw Jennifer hit. He stood and a bullet tore through his chest, piercing a lung and knocking him backward over a bench. He was on the floor, wounded, with Jennifer down nearby and the shooting continuing.
Most people would have stayed there. Jake didn’t. He registered the distinctive click of an empty magazine. Kinkel was reloading.
Jake pushed himself up and charged. He drove into Kinkel at the waist and took him to the ground. During the struggle Kinkel drew a handgun; Jake grabbed for it and was shot again, this time through his left index finger.
His 14-year-old brother Josh, along with Adam Walburger and brothers Doug and David Ure, joined the pile. Together they held the attacker until police arrived.
Two students—Ben Walker and Mikael Nickolauson—were killed. More than twenty others were wounded. The five boys had stopped the attack from continuing.
Jake was taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene with a punctured lung and a damaged finger. He left the hospital within days.
He rejected the hero label that followed. He insisted he had not acted alone and that the others had shared the risk.
Months later the Boy Scouts of America awarded all five the Honor Medal with Crossed Palms, the organization’s highest recognition for heroism. Jake’s father, a Navy diver, presented his medal.
The Carnegie Hero Fund Commission later recognized him as well.
The detail that stayed with people was simpler than the medals: Jake had already been shot through the chest when he decided to move.
On his birthday, with his girlfriend down and a lung collapsed, he heard the rifle go quiet and chose to close the distance. ❤️🙏

If you’re not following this man, you should be. Aside from his brilliant writing and analysis, he’s also the official namer of all the animals in his family and has an absolutely awesome wife. What’s not to love?
I've been trying to tell you the level of evil that is coming for years now. "Bolsheviks" is mentioned so often on our show that it has become a drinking game.
You are not up against "the democrats". The democrat party was murdered in its sleep 30 years ago.
You are not up against "the Nazis" -- they are long gone, but their name is used to keep you from seeing the truth.
You are not up against "the fascists" either -- see "the Nazis", above.
You are up against global Bolshevism. They say it to your face. They have trained three generations now to laugh whenever anyone says "communist". They own your schools. They own your media. They own your entertainment.
They have only three goals. Obtaining power, retaining power, and crushing any dissent to their power. That's it. That is what makes them effective.
Wake up, America. Your enemy is Bolshevism.
------------------------------------------
Post script: do not come at me with that idiotic "it's all the same hurr durr!" garbage. It is not "all the same". Not by a long shot. Not even close. Quit being a mouth-breather.

There is no such thing as a short, 3-4 day military operation—if we strike Iran, they will respond. We have consistently underestimated the most basic reality: the enemy gets a vote.
There is no military option that will persuade Iran to accept the U.S.’s terms for a deal—after 8 months of failing to restore order to the chaos it caused, the administration knows this— so what is the purpose of more strikes?
If we strike Iran by targeting more of their leaders and/or energy infrastructure, Iran will retaliate by striking Gulf energy infrastructure & U.S. forces in the region. More American troops will needlessly die, & our energy prices will continue to skyrocket.
Iran’s allies & proxies—like the Houthis, Iraqi militias, & possibly Bahraini groups—will attack Saudi energy infrastructure, the BAM/Suez, & will potentially attack the governments of Kuwait & Bahrain. We’re already unable to help the Saudis deter the Houthis—if we engage in kinetic combat against Iran, we’ll be even more incapable of assisting our already-weakened allies.
More strikes won’t change the game. Walking away & declaring victory before Tuesday sets a positive tone for the elections & resets the parameters for negotiations with Iran.
President Trump can avoid the escalation trap by walking away now, before the fog of war envelops the rest of his presidency.

🚨 BREAKING: POLISH PRESIDENT STORMS HIS OWN HIGHEST COURT AT 1 AM 🚨
Karol Nawrocki just walked straight into the Constitutional Tribunal building after turning his plane around mid-flight from Senegal.
He looked the pro-EU judges in the eye and told them they are NOT judges.
Their attempted takeover is OVER.
“You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal!”
🔥🔥🔥
This is the elected President of Poland personally ending a coup in real time.
Donald Tusk’s camp declared the Tribunal’s president (Bogdan Święczkowski) “suspended,” sent police to surround the building, and tried to seize control with judges who were never sworn in by the President. Nawrocki cut his trip short, flew home, arrived after midnight with the head of the Supreme Court, and forced his way inside through the pushing and scuffling at the doors.
He is not backing down.
Poland’s highest court was being hijacked. The President just took it back. 🇵🇱
Go get ’em, Mr. President! 🇺🇸
This is what standing up to a power grab looks like.

🚨 BREAKING: Poland’s President has made his first public appearance amid the growing political chaos engulfing the Polish citizens .
“What is happening right now at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal is nothing less than a COUP D’ÉTAT! We will never allow a tyrant to take control of our motherland.
For a long time, the government has been pushing Poland towards a dangerous confrontation with Russia, and I strongly reject that direction. After failing to convince the Polish people with its agenda, it is now resorting to desperate measures, attempting to seize control of yet another public institution through illegal means.
This is an outright assault on Poland’s constitutional order, sovereignty and democratic institutions.
The ultimate objective is to impose EU law over Polish law, force through the EU Migration Pact and open Poland’s borders to tens of thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands, of illegal migrants.
They want to destroy Poland’s position as one of Europe’s safest, most stable and prosperous nations, exposing our people to the economic hardship, social instability and chaos already experienced elsewhere in Europe.
Poland must never become a country governed by foreign interests. Our sovereignty is not negotiable. We will defend our independence, our security and our future. Poland belongs to the Polish people, and we will never surrender our motherland! 🇵🇱
Tusk want to dribble Mr President like STEPH CURRY DROPS LUKA DONCIC😱☠️
😱JUST IN: Polish President Karol Nawrocki has entered the country’s Constitutional Tribunal and openly challenged the judges appointed by Donald Tusk’s camp, declaring: “You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal!”
In a dramatic confrontation, Nawrocki stood his ground, rejecting what he considers an illegitimate attempt to take control of Poland’s highest constitutional court. His opponents have accused him of undermining the court’s independence, while his supporters see his actions as a powerful stand against political interference.
🔥 This is the elected President of Poland refusing to back down in the middle of a major constitutional standoff. Donald Tusk’s government is facing fierce resistance, and Nawrocki is making it clear that he will not quietly accept what he sees as an attempt to seize control of the country’s judiciary.
STAND STRONG, MR. PRESIDENT!

RUSSIA, CHINA, and IRAN are building kamikaze drones to hunt American soldiers in the next war. I'm building SENTRY to stop them, so no American is killed by an attack drone.
You've seen the videos from Ukraine: a soldier alone in a field, a drone closing in behind him, nowhere to run. That's what war looks like now. A drone that costs a few hundred dollars can kill a soldier we spent years training, and they come in waves.
This isn't about taking sides in someone else's war. It's about making sure every American who puts on the uniform comes home. And it's getting closer to home: cartels already fly drones across our southern border. It's only a matter of time before those drones are armed.
Here's what most people don't realize: almost every counter drone system out there protects a place, not a person. Bases, ships, convoys. Radar, jammers, guns, missiles. The soldier on foot gets a handheld jammer that can't stop a fiber optic drone, a shotgun, and luck. And shooting million dollar missiles at few hundred dollar drones is a losing trade for the taxpayer.
SENTRY is air defense for one soldier. Here's how it's designed to work:
A sensor pack on the soldier's back is always listening and looking for incoming drones. When one is spotted, an interceptor drone launches from a cartridge on the pack, rushes the attacker, and wraps it in a net, taking it down away from the soldier. It doesn't rely on jamming, so it's designed to stop the drones jammers can't touch. Then the soldier slots in a fresh interceptor, ready for the next one. The version in this video is the biggest SENTRY will ever be.
It's designed to fit how soldiers already fight, with almost no extra training, and to be affordable enough for every soldier, not just every base. Every squad on patrol should carry a few. Every soldier walking alone should have SENTRY watching their six.
Peace through strength starts with protecting the people we send to fight. The next war will be decided by who can put the most drones in the air, and who can keep their soldiers alive underneath them.
I never want to see a video of an American soldier being hunted down by a kamikaze drone. That's why I'm building SENTRY.
