this must be so exciting if ur stupid as hell
🚨 ELON MUSK JUST STOOD NEXT TO TRUMP AND PROMISED EVERYONE ON EARTH A HIGH INCOME. Not universal BASIC income. Universal HIGH income. His exact words at the White House: "By FAR the most likely outcome is an AGE OF ABUNDANCE where we don't have just universal basic income, we have universal HIGH income." Then he went further: "When you have robots and you have superintelligence, it means that EVERYONE in the world can have better medical care than anyone here, including ME." Read that again. Better healthcare than the RICHEST MAN ON EARTH. For everyone. → AI does the work → Robots build everything → Money stops being the limit → Medicine for all, at a level only billionaires get today Everyone is scared AI will take their job. Elon says it's about to make them RICH. Dream or disaster? One word. Follow now. The future is moving faster than the news.

Ah, guess DOGE missed that one.
The US government gave $533 million to General Dynamics for an artillery factory in Texas that produced no usable shells. This was a no-bid contract and they will not have to pay any of it back. Just a total waste of a half-billion dollars. 🤡

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Roger Ebert on ‘The Mummy’ “There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an "Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.”

'If you're not in those files... you were a bit of a loser.' Lady Victoria Hervey, ex-girlfriend of former 'Prince Andrew', tells @TomSwarbrick1 that not being named in the Epstein Files is an 'insult'.

To recap: Tesla is paying $0 in taxes *again* for 2025 despite $5.7B in profits thanks to tax breaks and writing off previous business losses. Also in 2025, Elon Musk’s wealth increased by $194B, largely from Tesla stock and his $139B pay package. And he wants you to believe that undocumented immigrants are the ones scamming the system.

Cool cool cool… wtf
DHS deleted this one because: -The family was driving home and got blocked. -ICE deployed flashbangs and tear gas INSIDE the car. -The 6-month old child stopped breathing and had to be rushed to hospital. DHS did NO investigation & rushed to lie to defend the officers.

Trying to scan the QR code on the ICE agent choking me but first I have to watch a 10 second FanDuel ad
Scoop in here: Rep. Ritchie Torres introducing a bill that would require ICE officers to wear QR codes that you can scan to get their full name, badge number and other identifying info. @Axios axios.com/2026/01/13/democra…

Rogan: "You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people — many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, 'Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?"

NPR has created a front-line account of the Jan 6 riot and a public database drawing on thousands of hours of footage and years of reporting: "The evidence vividly shows the planning for 'revolution' and the brutality of violence." apps.npr.org/jan-6-archive/

Dak Prescott was asked a hypothetical question today about what he’d say if Brian Schottenheimer came to him about sitting out the final two games. The reporter couldn’t finish the question before Dak jumped in: “Absolutely not. Sorry. Especially on Christmas Day, man.” “I’d fight him (on it), particularly right now going to this game, getting a chance to play on Christmas Day, first time. Also just in the fact of being away from my family. And I’m not trying to be away from my family if I’m not going to get to play this game, and get to do something that I love at a high level, and finish a good individual season, I guess you could say, off strong. “You say 15 games under the belt, I want to make it 17, and just show that every chance I get out there, I’m just trying to play to my standard and expectations. And not only that, we were just talking about how important it is to stop this losing streak and finish the season off with two wins. So, yeah, I’d play and I’d fight him for it.”

The coverup is worse than the crime, especially if you're the dumbest group of people on Earth
The Epstein files on the DOJ website allow you to highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it into another document, which reveals what was hidden. You can also press Ctrl+F and search for “Trump ” (with a space) to see his name appear more than 600 times. #OpDeathEaters
