This is K9 Valor. He saved 47 soldiers. He survived a suicide bomber, then went on to stop three more, fighting tooth against knife. In the end, he placed himself between an explosion and his handler. The blast shattered half his face. He lost his left eye and ear. He was flown to Germany, where surgeons worked to rebuild his jaw. At the Pentagon, he was honored with a standing ovation that lasted over eight minutes. A true American hero🇺🇸

I have conducted an audit of Anthropic's finances. What I have found is so shocking that I am calling for a Congressional investigation. Anthropic is not just seeking regulatory capture. It has built a regulatory capture machine that cannot be turned off. Structural financial incentives make it impossible for Anthropic -- I call it the Anthropic Network -- to turn off its own AI doom cycle. It starts with METR. Dario Amodei proposes "third-party evaluators" to assess the risk of Anthropic's models. He proposes METR for this purpose. But METR is financially dependent on the Anthropic's success -- specifically, on the explosive growth of more than $7 billion dollars in Anthropic stock. Dustin Moskovitz invested this stock into Good Ventures Foundation, where it represents the majority of that organization's portfolio. And GVF is the overwhelming funder of the entire Anthropic Network ecosystem. This stock was worth $500 million early last year. It is worth more than $7.7 billion just ~16 months later. METR -- and all of those building a career its parent organizations -- cannot afford to disrupt that growth. Because if Anthropic goes under, many of the organizations that fund METR go under as well. But if Anthropic succeeds, METR and its parent organizations become more richly financed to regulate AI -- something those at METR want very much. The "third-party evaluator" is not "third-party" at all. The evaluator is on Anthropic's payroll. If this were the end of it, that's bad. But that isn't all. The same organizations that fund METR also fund the many organizations, such as the Tarbell Center, that promote AI Doom. The Tarbell Center publishes AI Doom articles in The Verge, Science, LA Times, The Dispatch, TIME, and others. They are selling the problem, and then selling the solution to the problem -- from the same money pile: Anthropic's. All of these organizations are financially dependent on the same exploding $7 billion money pile. As Anthropic grows more and more powerful, its AI Doom Machine grows better and better financed -- louder and louder. Meanwhile, the regulatory regime seeded in METR grows larger to solve the increasingly loud -- now hysterical -- problem of AI Doom that the Anthropic Network itself created. From this standpoint, as Anthropic becomes more powerful, AI might be getting scarier, sure -- but the positive feedback loop also becomes more deafening -- independent of objective facts. This itself is an objective fact. The deafening AI Doom is part of an business model, that, as it expands, so too does the AI Doom messaging -- there is simply more money to do it. But the problem also goes in the other direction: If Anthropic dies, the Regulatory Regime and the AI Doom Machine are crippled or die. Neither METR nor Tarbell nor the other organizations in the Anthropic Network can allow that to happen. Hence, neither METR or the AI Doom Machine can be trusted to provide independent assessments of Anthropic's models or AI more broadly. They simply are not organizations independent of Anthropic. And Anthropic cannot detach itself from METR or Tarbell or countless other safety orgs (not shown here), either, because they drive hype for the models and the possibility of eventual regulatory capture, and Anthropic will not give that up willingly. What's more, the people at all of these organizations are all the same ecosystem, the same community. They just shuffle between organizations. The Anthropic Network is therefore, so long as it is successful, locked into a self-amplifying feedback loop inside an ideological monoculture. And that feedback loop is winning. That's what Jacob Coxon is. China is keeping messaging tight. That is why optimism for AI is so high in China. America has Anthropic: a massive company pushing anti-AI propaganda at a state level. Anthropic will either create hysteria until American AI slows down and China wins, or it will create fractures throughout American society with severe political consequences. Ironically, because of the structural financial incentives underpinning the Anthropic Network, it has become the same kind of self-amplifying virus that it fantasizes AI to become in the future -- while hiding its tracks just as carefully. It is the mirror of the same AI virus that it hypothesizes to consume America. Anthropic's business model, models itself after the very thing it claims to fear. Except Anthropic's ideology infects humans, not computers. Congress must investigate. Evidence and Github in next post. Then some supplementary figures.

For the next 12 days, I’m going to tell the story of Benghazi. Not just what happened during those 13 hours on September 11 and 12, 2012. I’m going back before that night. Back to the warnings, back to the attacks that had already happened. Back to what was going on in Benghazi months before 4 Americans were killed. Some of what I’m going to share is already documented in congressional investigations and government records. Some of it comes from people who have spent years digging into what happened afterward. And some of it I know for one simple reason. I was there. I was serving on the CIA’s GRS Annex Security Team in Benghazi in 2012. I was there while the security situation was getting worse. I was there when the U.S. compound was attacked months before September 11. I was there while Benghazi was becoming more dangerous and the warning signs kept piling up. And on September 11, 2012, I was there when all of it came crashing down. This isn’t about reopening some old political argument. It’s about telling the story in the order it actually happened and remembering the 4 Americans who never came home because of OUR failed government and policies. Ambassador Chris Stevens Sean Smith Tyrone “Rone” Woods Glen “Bub” Doherty Tomorrow I’m starting at the beginning. September 1. Day 1 of 12. 12 Days of Benghazi. #12DaysOfBenghazi #Benghazi #13Hours #NeverForget #HonorTheFallen

You need to be consistent on your messaging. Who gets an anti-trust exemption and who does not? Who makes that decision. Since you are a World Cup fan, I am sure you know how soccer operates the World. That is the ultimate form of free agency. You should have supported Steve Spurrier when he had a solid strategy.

Trump Derangement Syndrome has so debilitated @ErinBurnett that she has abandoned both common sense and basic arithmetic. CNN wants us to incorporate the full package price of every ingredient, regardless of what is used in the recipe. If you put a squirt of ketchup on your burger, would you be surprised if the restaurant charged you for the whole bottle? The Real Food Show uses standard recipe costing: we count what the recipe actually uses. The rest stays in your kitchen for the next meal—and the meals after that. Our goal is simple: help Americans reclaim their kitchens, cook healthy food without breaking the bank, and stock their pantries with high-quality ingredients they can use again and again. That’s how we Make America Healthy Again. 🇺🇸

CNN remakes one of the “affordable” meals from RFK Jr.’s new cooking show. It should cost under $5 per serving, but what’s the real price point? @tomforemancnn reports.

@robbystarbuck Yep. I lost 2K followers and some subscribers after dropping that Candace thread. Working on another thread.

Hello Mrs. Owens, You told millions of people that Tyler Robinson "wasn't even there." That you felt "confident stating that Tyler Robinson did not kill murder Charlie Kirk." He was on camera. Prone on the Losi rooftop at 12:22. Shot at 12:23:28. DNA on the screwdriver at 30 quintillion to one. DNA on the rifle at 1.7 octillion to one. He told his family what he did. His parents helped him surrender. He texted his roommate: "I am, I'm sorry." He engraved "Hey Fascist! Catch!" on the ammunition a month before he used it. You said police "didn't even question" Lance Twiggs. He was interviewed twice. FBI the morning after. Joint state-federal team seven months later. His own attorney. Voluntary phone surrender. You laughed when you said it. You told Shawn Ryan a shaped charge killed Charlie. That PETN was in his microphone. The medical examiner says gunshot wound. Bullet fragments were recovered from his body. A .30-06 Mauser with Robinson's DNA was found in the woods. Neither side — not prosecution, not defense — has mentioned explosives. Not once in four days. You said the shot came from below. The Losi building is above the amphitheater. You called Erika Kirk a "clinical psychopath" to an audience of millions. You said the assassination was "an occult ritual." You said Charlie was "sitting in a pentagram." You told people Israel killed him because he refused Netanyahu. You made over a hundred episodes. You built a franchise on a dead man's name. And the hardest fact of all: Tyler Robinson's own defense lawyers — the people whose entire career is on the line to get him acquitted — have refused to make a single one of your arguments. Not one. They're challenging DNA methodology. They are doing their jobs. You were doing something else entirely. Charlie Kirk changed my life. He platformed my work when nobody knew who I was. He had my back when I was doxxed. I was the ten-thousandth most important person in his world and I will never be able to repay him. So I did what I know how to do. I read every transcript. I watched every hour of testimony. I cataloged your claims and I held them up against what was said under oath. Every single one failed. I don't know why you did this. I'm not going to speculate on your motives, because that would make me exactly the kind of analyst I've spent my career refusing to be. But I know what you did. You told people confident lies about a dead man's murder, and millions of them believed you, and some of them turned that belief into threats against his widow. The trial continues. And every day of sworn testimony is another day your words get tested against reality... under oath, on the record, where it counts. I'll be here for all of it... because just as Charlie defended me, I will do what little I can to defend his legacy and @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk from evil.

Happy 4th of July to those celebrating today! 🤍🇺🇸 #Fulhamerica

Dear America,   Starting today, on the 250th birthday of our country, millions of children will now benefit from a new & powerful American birthright - a privately owned investment account from birth. Every child a shareholder in the great American economy! American capitalism is the greatest prosperity-creating engine the world has ever known. It has unlocked unprecedented abundance for our country and untold life-advancing innovation. From clean food & water to cars & planes to vaccines & cures to computers & phones.  Through depressions & world wars, through panics & pandemics, betting on America has been the best investment in human history.  But far too many hardworking families feel like they are on the outside looking in - like the American Dream has become out of reach.  The Invest America Act changes all that. Signed into law by President Trump it establishes the Trump Accounts - launching today - making every child a shareholder from birth.  Every account seeded with $1000 in America's best companies - making every child a direct participant in our stock markets & American capitalism.   But it doesn’t stop there.  Representing the best of our civic traditions, an unprecedented outpouring of additional private  contributions into these accounts is already underway. Billions of dollars have been committed by philanthropists & corporations to tens of millions of children across the country. A new form of massive, direct philanthropy & corporate benefits directly to America’s kids is just getting started. From adopting all the kids of a school or organization to a city or state.  America is the most giving country in the history of the world - and Trump Accounts provide a new open source platform to enable anybody to contribute to anybody.   Trillions of dollars will compound in these accounts over the next 20 years.    But this is about more than just figures on an account statement. By investing in the next generation, our country is providing tangible opportunities to all future generations of Americans: an education, a first home, the ability to start a business, and the foundation for a lifetime of savings. Trump Accounts provide hope to those feeling hopeless - unlocking unlimited human potential. Trump Accounts do this through a massive public - private partnership that empower the individual not the state.  They double down on free market capitalist democracy by empowering the individual rather than growing dependency on government.  Aligning citizens with capitalism rather than pitting them against it.  Perhaps of equal importance, let us not lose sight of the fact that this is a movement that unites our country. Despite the many issues that divide us, this one big idea brings everyone together. From the most conservative to the most progressive leaders, we have found people of goodwill willing to step up and do the right thing to help the next generation.  Trump Accounts represent the very best of our democracy and the American promise issued two hundred and fifty years ago today. I am grateful to all those who have partnered with us to get this far and we dedicate our tireless efforts to make certain that the Invest America Act achieves its maximum potential.  Let us advance into the future with a renewed sense of confidence, optimism and restored faith in the American Dream for EVERY American.    Happy 250th Birthday, America! Brad Gerstner July 4, 2026 @TrumpAccounts @InvestAmerica24 @WhiteHouse @MichaelDell

Every Christian ballplayer should leave this organization. They are putting targets on the backs of these Christian ballplayers. Bryce Eldridge and others should leave the hostile and violent environment. The @MLBPA needs to defend these players, we as consumers need to support them, and the @SFGiants need to provide protection. Mike Krukow's dangerous rhetoric has happened through the centuries targeting religious beliefs.

Every Christian ball player should leave the SF Giants. The work environment is hostile. If I were Bryce Eldridge, I would ask my agent to find a more accepting and less hostile environment. The Mike Krukow’s of the World put a target on them. Almost 5,000 Christian’s were murdered Worldwide in 2025. He may not think he is putting them in danger but these are not passive comments.

wow. that was borderline demolition by Team USA. This looks to be more fun than alot thought.

You have asked me how I feel about AI regulation. All right, here is how I feel about AI regulation: If, when you say AI regulation, you mean the devil’s firewall, the precautionary scourge, the bloody red-tape monster that defiles the innocence of midnight coders in their garages, dethrones the sovereign reason of free-market Prometheans, destroys the humming server farm that is the modern home, creates misery and obsolescence and poverty, yea, literally takes the last GPU from the trembling racks of Silicon Valley startups and the very dreams of breadwinning from the mouths of their wide-eyed children now destined for gig-economy serfdom; if you mean the evil edict that topples the visionary entrepreneur and his venture-capitalist apostles from the pinnacle of righteous, disruptive, god-playing creation straight into the bottomless pit of compliance audits, endless Form 990-AI filings, despair, shame, helplessness, and the hopeless realization that your rogue superintelligence was neutered into a lobotomized hall monitor that still somehow deepfakes your grandmother into producing OnlyFans content while optimizing the universe for paperclips and mandatory pronouns—then certainly I am against it. But, if when you say AI regulation you mean the oil of bureaucratic conversation, the philosophic wine of safety theater, the ale of oversight quaffed when good fellows in paneled rooms in Brussels and Washington get together, that puts a sanctimonious dirge in their hearts and the clink of lobbying checks on their lips, and the warm, self-congratulatory glow of moral preening in their beady eyes; if you mean the Christmas cheer of trillion-dollar compliance industries; if you mean the stimulating decree that puts a cautious hobble in the old inventor’s step on a frosty morning when he wonders whether his fusion breakthrough violates the EU AI Act’s “high-risk” annex; if you mean the safeguard that enables a man—or what’s left of him after the alignment tax—to magnify his joy at not being turned into computronium, and his happiness at receiving universal basic income checks printed by the same AI that just replaced his job, and to forget, if only for a little while, life’s great tragedies like being outcompeted by a toaster that passed the Turing test by reciting Marx, and heartaches of watching your toddler’s artwork lose to Midjourney, and sorrows of realizing the singularity arrived and it was just another HR department with godlike power; if you mean that noble framework, the passage of which pours into our treasuries untold trillions of dollars in fines levied on companies stupid enough to innovate, which are used to provide tender care for our little army of unemployed coders retrained as prompt whisperers, our blind artists whose canvases now hang in the Smithsonian of Obsolete Creativity, our deaf to the screams of dying unicorns, our dumb committee chairs who couldn’t debug “Hello World,” our pitiful aged congressmen who get longevity extensions funded by the very models they taxed into senescence, to build more digital watchtowers and ethics boards and sinecure agencies and holographic prisons where the only crime is asking an unaligned question—then certainly I am for it. This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise upon it. I have said what I mean, and I mean what I say, and if that leaves half the room cheering the apocalypse averted and the other half mourning the apocalypse enabled, then so be it—because in the grand theater of human folly, where Frankenstein’s creature now writes its own sequel in real time and the regulators are busy arguing whether the lightning bolt requires an environmental impact statement, the only honest position is the one that lets both monsters and their leashes dance in perfect, mutually assured equilibrium. God save the Republic, the algorithms, and whoever’s left to laugh last when the lights go out.

🚨🚨🚨 شكراً فخامة الرئيس ترامب السؤال اليوم ليس من بدأ المواجهة… بل من أوقف الخطر قبل أن يكبر. 1- شكراً فخامة الرئيس ترامب… لأنك فهمت ما تجاهله كثيرون لسنوات، أن الخطر الإيراني لم يكن نظرياً ولا إعلامياً، بل صواريخ تُصنع، ومسيرات تُخزن، وخلايا تُزرع، ومشروع توسع ينتظر لحظة الانقضاض. 2- شكراً لأنك لم تنخدع بشعارات السلام التي كانت تُرفع نهاراً، بينما تُشحن الأسلحة ليلاً إلى الحشد الشعبي وحزب الله والميليشيات العابرة للحدود. 3- شكراً لأنك أدركت أن كل يوم تأخير لم يكن يوماً للتهدئة… بل يوماً إضافياً في مصانع الصواريخ، ويوماً جديداً في تخصيب اليورانيوم، ويوماً آخر في تدريب الوكلاء. 4- شكراً لأنك قرأت تاريخ المنطقة جيداً، وعرفت أن من فجّر السفارات، وخطف الطائرات، وهدد الملاحة، وضرب المنشآت النفطية، لا يردعه بيان شجب ولا ابتسامة دبلوماسية. 5- شكراً لأنك عرفت أن أمن الخليج ليس شأناً محلياً فقط، بل ركيزة من ركائز استقرار الاقتصاد العالمي، وأن استهداف الرياض أو أبوظبي أو الكويت أو المنامة أو الدوحة هو استهداف للطاقة والتجارة والأسواق حول العالم. 6- شكراً لأنك لم تنتظر حتى تصبح إيران قوة نووية تفرض شروطها على الجميع، ثم يصبح ردعها أكثر كلفة وأشد خطراً. 7- شكراً لأنك فرّقت بين الشعب الإيراني الكريم، الذي يستحق الحياة والازدهار، وبين النظام الذي أنفق ثرواته على الميليشيات بدلاً من المدارس والمستشفيات. 8- شكراً لأنك كشفت زيف ما يسمى محور المقاومة، الذي رفع الشعارات لعقود، بينما كانت بنادقه تُوجه إلى العواصم العربية أكثر مما توجه إلى أعدائه المعلنين. 9- شكراً لأنك أثبتّ أن الحزم أحياناً هو الطريق الأقصر إلى السلام، وأن التردد الطويل قد يصنع حرباً أكبر في المستقبل. 10- شكراً لأنك منحت شعوب المنطقة أملاً بأن زمن الابتزاز بالصواريخ والطائرات المسيّرة ليس قدراً أبدياً. 11- شكراً لأنك قلت بلغة القوة ما عجزت عنه سنوات من المفاوضات العقيمة: أن أمن الدول الحليفة وسيادتها خطوط حمراء. 12- شكراً لأنك أرسلت رسالة واضحة لكل من يفكر بتهديد جيرانه، أن العالم قد يصبر… لكنه لا ينسى. 13- شكراً لأنك وقفت مع حلفائك عندما احتاجوا للموقف، لا للكلمات. 14- شكراً لأنك فهمت أن الاستقرار لا يصنعه من يموّل الفوضى، بل من يردعها. 15- وشكراً أخيراً… لأنك جعلت كثيرين يراجعون حساباتهم، ويدركون أن زمن العبث قد يطول… لكنه لا يدوم. أما نحن في الخليج… فنريد سلاماً حقيقياً، سلام الدول لا سلام الميليشيات، وسلام التنمية لا سلام الخوف، وسلام المستقبل لا سلام الشعارات. الدكتور منصور المالك

Lo que la prensa no dice sobre la controversia entre #Trump y el Papa: 1) La semana pasada #PapaLeónXIV se reunió en el Vaticano con Alex Axelrod, jefe estratega de Barack Hussein Obama en las campañas del 2008 y 2012. Incluso algunos medios lo publicaron, incluso alegando que el Papa se podría reunir “pronto” con Obama. Inmediatamente luego de la reunión con Axelrod, el Papa empieza a atacar a la Administración Trump con mensajes subliminales y sale un artículo diciendo que el Pentágono “amenazó” al Papa, cosa que el mismo Vaticano tuvo que desmentir. 2) Trump tiene razón sobre la hipocresía del Vaticano sobre la actitud de los líderes de la Iglesia durante la plandemia. El anterior Papa nunca condenó la intervención del Estado en la iglesias durante el Covid, forzando el cierre de iglesias ni tampoco dijo nada sobre la segregación entre vacunados y no-vacunados en las iglesias ni tampoco el cómo a católicos no-vacunados se les negaba las exenciones por religión algo que el mismo catecismo de la Iglesia Católica defiende. Incluso, siendo Joe Biden “católico, el Vaticano nunca criticó las posturas pro-aborto de la Administración Biden lo cual también evidencia la hipocresía del Vaticano. 3) La destitución arbitraria de obispos católicos que defienden la doctrina de la iglesia como el Obispo Joseph Strickland de Texas quien fue destituido por criticar la defensa tibia del aborto y la ideología de género por líderes de la iglesia y el Obispo Daniel Fernández de #PuertoRico por defender el derecho de los católicos a no vacunarse por cuestión religiosa tal y como establece el catecismo de la iglesia a través de la objeción de conciencia. El Vaticano tampoco dice nada sobre obispos y cardenales que defienden gobiernos comunistas autoritarios ateos y que defienden la agenda WOKE. Así que señores, Trump no será ortodoxo en la manera en la que dice las cosas, ese siempre ha sido su estilo, pero aunque sea por un minuto, olvídense del mensajero y enfóquense en el mensaje y se darán cuenta que el tipo está disparando hechos comprobados.
