BREAKING: Actor Sam Neill, best known for his roles in the “Jurassic Park” films, has died, according to his official social media account. He was 78. abcnews.link/tfusQYj
America’s greatest gift to the world was to care enough to give it back to the people…
Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.
The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.
Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.
Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.
They took until there was nothing left to take.
America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.
And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Not almost unprecedented.
It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.
The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.
Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.
That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.
Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.
No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has blood in its history.
But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.
It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.
When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.
By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.
Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.
The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.
They shaped the modern world.
AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.
1945 was the first test.
AI is the last.
That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.
The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.
It’s a feedback loop where one system is energy positive and one system is energy negative. Any government policy that adds more resistance creates accelerating divergence.
⚡️The U.S. no longer has to compare itself to Europe as a whole to show divergence.
Individual American mega-states are starting to look like peer competitors to major European nations.
That is a huge tell.
The hidden variable is operating leverage.
Texas sits inside the American platform: dollar system, U.S. capital markets, U.S. military umbrella, U.S. tech ecosystem, U.S. legal and corporate infrastructure, massive domestic consumer base, and free internal migration.
France carries sovereign responsibilities Texas does not carry. Texas does not have to run an independent currency, nuclear deterrent, national pension architecture, foreign policy, or full welfare-state balance sheet on its own.
So the comparison flatters Texas and slightly cheats. But it still reveals something brutal: the most dynamic U.S. regions now compound faster than legacy European nation-states because they combine American-scale capital access with state-level policy flexibility.
Texas is not merely a place. It is a growth machine.
Energy is the core. Cheap and abundant power sits underneath everything: AI data centers, petrochemicals, LNG, manufacturing, grid expansion, Bitcoin mining, defense industry, industrial reshoring, and population growth. Europe spent years moralizing energy policy while Texas kept treating energy as civilization’s base layer. That difference compounds.
The next geopolitical split is not simply America versus Europe. It is high-energy, high-capex, high-migration growth zones versus low-energy, high-regulation preservation zones.
Texas is one of the clearest examples of the first category.
France is one of the clearest examples of the second.
Europe still has culture, beauty, history, education, engineering depth, and institutional memory. But growth power is moving toward places that can build, power, permit, finance, and absorb people faster. Civilization is becoming more infrastructure-bound again. Energy, land, grid, ports, chips, compute, and capital velocity matter more than postwar prestige.
Final read: this chart is not just bragging about Texas. It is a map of the new world.
The future is flowing toward jurisdictions that can turn energy into capital formation without suffocating the process.
France represents inherited civilization.
Texas represents compounding civilization.
Right now, compounding is winning.
Well said… Additionally, to put it in perspective: Tesla had a banger quarter, released the MYL in the US and started robotaxi operations in Miami… yet everyone is disappointed.
People misinterpreted what Lars said. The Impact Report is a big announcement and it was about Giga TX. Lars is an exceptional engineer, what excites him might not compute with most people. If you dig into the nuggets, you can see the efficiency and savings for Tesla, which makes Tesla more competitive which translates to more profitabilty. Lars doesn't introduce new products, that is the job for Elon and Franz. Lars is the man behind the scene that makes Tesla run smoothly with constant manufacturing improvements.
People set themselves up with unrealistic expectations, "hoping" for something else.
Imagine Tesla CFO saying there is a huge announcement...guess what, maybe he has a new accounting software he is excited about, but people think he will announce a merger or stock buy back.
Remember, each individual of the Tesla team serves a function and will not cross or step over someone else's role.
This is a great perspective of the side that is never shared by the MSM
Jeff, you know I love you as a person and a friend, but your motivated reasoning in this article falls flat with me and with America 🇺🇸.
Here is my response to your piece:
The Iran War Was Not a Defeat — It Was a Reckoning
Your piece on Trump’s “defeat” in Iran is a masterclass in motivated reasoning dressed up as geopolitical analysis. Let’s deal in facts.
On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against the Iranian regime, targeting its nuclear facilities, military infrastructure, and leadership…following a determination that diplomacy had been exhausted and a nuclear-armed Iran posed an unacceptable threat to the world. What followed was not a defeat. It was the systematic dismantling of the most destabilizing terror regime in the Middle East.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei…Iran’s iron-fisted ruler since 1989, the architect of Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis…was killed in strikes on Tehran. Senior advisers and military leadership were eliminated alongside him. The man who spent four decades exporting terrorism across the region is gone. You somehow forgot to lead with that.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed severe damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities that will take over a decade to rebuild. A U.S. naval blockade choked off Iran’s oil exports. Ambassador Mike Waltz confirmed Iran’s currency was in free fall and its foreign reserves were near zero. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the collapse of the Iranian currency the strategy’s “grand culmination.” This is what economic obliteration looks like.
The U.S. Navy sank over thirty Iranian ships. Iran’s capacity to mine or close the Strait of Hormuz…the threat that has hung over the global economy for decades…has been shattered.
Your piece wrings its hands over the MOU’s imperfections. But consider what the agreement actually reflects: a theocratic regime that once strutted across the Middle East through its terror proxies now sitting at a table in Versailles, reaffirming it will not pursue nuclear weapons, agreeing to open the Strait of Hormuz, and accepting a 60-day framework for further nuclear talks…after its navy was sunk, its Supreme Leader killed, its air defenses shredded, and its economy reduced to rubble. That’s not capitulation by America. That’s the posture of a beaten adversary buying time. While I don’t believe the IRGC will ever give up their highly-enriched uranium, this has been a decisive victory to date.
Now…about proportionality and concern for human life. You cluck solemnly over 3,375 Iranian casualties across the entire conflict. Chicago recorded 416 murders in 2025 alone with nearly 2,800 people shot in a single year in a single American city. A typical violent summer weekend in Democrat-run Chicago produces more American bloodshed than the entire Iran war cost in U.S. lives. Where is the Time cover story on that? Where are the Sonnenfeld op-eds demanding accountability from the Democrat officials who have presided over that carnage for decades?
You invoke Roy Cohn and the Marx Brothers to paint Trump as a con man declaring false victories. But the real sleight of hand is yours…treating the elimination of the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, the destruction of its nuclear timetable, and the cratering of its economy as a loss, because the terms of surrender weren’t worded to your satisfaction.
The Iran war has removed a knife that had been held to the throat of the Middle East for forty years. That’s not nothing. That’s the whole thing.

🚨 NYPD Reveals Extent Of Violence And Destruction Following Knicks Game
According to the NYPD, what began as large crowds gathering around Madison Square Garden during the Knicks game quickly spiraled into widespread violence, vandalism, and disorder across Midtown Manhattan.
Authorities estimate that tens of thousands of people flooded the area between Fifth and Ninth Avenues. As the night progressed, crowds became increasingly unruly, with multiple violent incidents breaking out and major streets effectively taken over for hours.
🚨 43rd Street & Broadway — Among the most serious incidents was the shooting of a 17-year-old. Due to the massive crowds blocking access, an ambulance was unable to reach the scene, forcing NYPD officers to transport the victim to the hospital themselves. Police recovered a firearm and took three persons of interest into custody.
🚨 Midtown Manhattan — Police reported four separate slashings and stabbings as violence spread throughout the area.
🚨 Madison Square Garden area — Five school buses being used to transport people between Manhattan and MetLife Stadium for World Cup events were set on fire or heavily damaged. Witnesses reported individuals using bats to smash the buses while others jumped on top of them.
🚨 Multiple locations surrounding Madison Square Garden — Five NYPD vehicles suffered significant damage after individuals smashed windows and windshields with bats and climbed on top of the vehicles. Multiple privately owned vehicles were also vandalized and destroyed.
🚨 Throughout the crowd areas — Fireworks were launched into densely packed crowds while large fights broke out. Individuals climbed traffic lights, light poles, scaffolding, and other structures, creating dangerous conditions for both spectators and first responders.
🚨 Fifth Avenue through Ninth Avenue — Large groups repeatedly refused orders to disperse, shutting down traffic and effectively taking over major streets and avenues for several hours.
In total, 63 people were arrested in connection with the night's events. Charges include assault on a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstruction of governmental administration.
The violence also left ten NYPD officers injured. One officer was punched in the face, while another was struck with a glass bottle during the unrest.
It is important to note that these figures only reflect incidents that were reported to or documented by law enforcement. Given the size of the crowds and the widespread disorder that unfolded throughout Midtown, it is possible that additional crimes, assaults, robberies, property damage, and other incidents occurred that were never reported to police. The official numbers provide a snapshot of the chaos, but they may not capture the full extent of what took place during the night.
The incidents represent one of the most chaotic and destructive nights in Midtown Manhattan in recent memory, with violence, vandalism, and lawlessness overwhelming large sections of the area surrounding Madison Square Garden.

This is the result of people who don’t value anything because it has always been given to them. This only hurts school kids and the workers who rely on this bus for income.
HEARTBREAKING: A New York City school bus driver attempted to defend his bus from a WILD CROWD celebrating the New York #Knicks Finals victory.
The driver was yelling at fans: “It's coming out of my paycheck…”
This is horrible to watch 💔💔💔

Please vote. This one is important.
X has lumped us into the “aggregator” category and has recently severely penalized our account.
The X accounts winning right now are posting 9 times a day with talking head, TikTok style reaction clips. That is not us.
We cover breaking news and geopolitics in real time. That is what we built this for.
Do you want us to keep doing what we do, or adapt to what the algorithm rewards?
You don’t get it, it doesn’t matter who tries to do it, the State and lawyers will put so much red tape in front of it before you can even start to dig, that you will be billions in before a single action can take place. Land assessments, impact reports, committee meetings, environmental consultants, hiring requirements, lawsuits etc. There is a reason boring company started in NV and now Memphis, it’s because the city and the State are supporting progress not impeding and milking it.
Thy should cut waste & fraud and decrease taxes for everyone, not start taxing people more, regardless of their wealth.
Bernie this message is beyond retarded.
The top 1% in the US pay ~40% of all federal individual income taxes.
I'm not in the 1% - far from it - yet objectively it's extremely obvious that the top 1% IS NOT THE ISSUE.
The issue is the way government DEPLOYS the revenue it takes in.
THE US HAS A SPENDING EFFICIENCY ISSUE.
And it's 100% rooted in its politicians BEING TERRIBLE AT THEIR JOBS.
This includes you.
Stop gaslighting the public.
Tom, Thanks for being clear on your position. Having free speech in a free country is an incredible thing that we should not take for granted. People also don’t have to follow you, that’s ok too… we live in a free society. I intentionally follow people I disagree with and read comments so I can hear different perspectives. I don’t have to agree with them, and I don’t have get upset because someone has different ideas than I do. Now here is where it gets complicated… I can also agree with somethings a person says while simultaneously disagreeing with other things they say… Now here is where it gets outrageous… I can hold differing thoughts on one subject because both sides have valid arguments they are making. All this just say that people need to chill the fuck out, hear people out, and love each other, even when we disagree.
Congrats @MeroPictures … I’ve been waiting a long time for mine as well… very soon

Well, first off… Ukraine is smaller than CA and NV combined and Russia does not occupy Half of Ukraine. That said I don’t like Ukraine having to give up its territory to Russia. I also believe that this war could have been avoided the Biden administration by taking NATO membership off the table. But here we are… How do you propose the conflict be brought to an end? Hundreds of thousands have died and tens of thousands more will die if the conflict is not brought to an end. There will not be a perfect ending, why delay.
Imagine China occupying California, Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon and then the EU telling America: “Make a deal with the occupier or we won’t support you.”
Absurd, right? No country would accept that.
Yet this is exactly what Ukraine is being told today.
And let’s not forget: Ukraine gave up the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal under U.S. security guarantees. They trusted America.
Now Ukraine being pushed to surrender their land to the same aggressor that invaded them.
This isn’t “peacemaking.” This is betrayal.

Instead of paying it off, we let it be included under bankruptcy. That would be a halfway point… Those who keep paying it because they can will, for those who can’t, it comes at a cost, but still goes away.
