‘The Movement’ to Where❓
‼️The most important thing you will hear all weekend is what I am about to tell you
🚨44% of AMERICAN Muslims have a favorable view of Hamas
Look back🔙: Hamas committed unthinkable atrocities during the October 7th attacks
Rape children and the elderly
Hacking women’s breasts off
Burning babies alive
I could go on
🚨And 44% of America’s fastest-growing population views them favorably.
👀What if 44% of Southern Baptists viewed the KKK favorably — you think the media would care then — my point exactly
Why it matters‼️: The socialist movement now taking over the Democratic party not only refuses to confront this evil — they embrace it in the name of winning.
⚠️Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan will likely win the Democratic nomination for Senate — he mimics the talking points of Hamas and Hezbollah.
⚠️Zohran Mamdani routinely celebrates the type of Islam that terrorizes the world
Be smart🧠: Don’t get caught up in the Graham Platner craziness.
🤦Democratic operatives and progressives want us to forget they endorsed a Nazi enthusiast accused of rape — we won’t but that’s besides the point.
📰From Politico’s playbook: “The new narrative emerging on the left: It was never about Platner — it’s about the movement. In fact, who even was Graham Platner? The man was never special. That’s perhaps a too-tidy retcon for a candidate whose closest advisers basically believed, at one point, they’d found Barack Obama and JFK wrapped into one oyster shucker in Hancock County.”
Favorite headline📰: “DNC Vows To Replace Graham Platner With Establishment Rapist” - The Onion
Look back🔙: The very fact that the Democratic Party excused Platner’s obvious warning signs proves what they are willing to do for power.
Look forward🔜: The red-green alliance will offer them power — just like the Islamists did to progressives in Iran.
❗They promised to fight the imperialist Iranian Shah, etc.
❗Then they killed the progressives and instituted repressive Islamic rule.
Here we go.
Assasination Plot!🚨
‼️Iran wants to kill President Trump — that shouldn’t surprise any of us.
📰The Wall Street Journal reports Iran used the ceasefire to create a new plot — reportedly, Israel warned Trump of the newest plot.
Be smart🧠: Israel’s credibility with Trump faces some significant challenges.
Intrigue✈️: Trump switched to the old Air Force One from his Qatari-gifted plane for his departure from Turkey.
What I am thinking💭: The old Air Force One has sophisticated surface-to-air missile countermeasures.
How can Trump NOT respond?!
Out there!👽
🛸Newly released video shows more close encounters of the UFO and alien types
The release does nothing to answer the BIG QUESTION
👀“Unlike anything I had seen” in 28 years of service. That’s how one military pilot described a mysterious object included in the Pentagon’s latest release of UFO files.
The Pentagon released 40 new declassified files today
Why it matters‼️: We have to be able to separate whether or not these are actually aliens — or, more importantly, whether these unidentified objects are new technology being used by our adversaries.
Sound the alarms🚨: One file describes an unidentified object flying over Pantex — the Texas facility where America’s nuclear weapons are assembled.
🛸The file describes a security radar and officers tracking a silent, diamond-shape object flying over one of America’s most sensitive sites.
So it’s either Chinese and we need to shoot it down, or it’s American technology challenging our best defenses?!
3️⃣Let’s consider the possibilities — and see which one makes most sense
These are aliens
These are Chinese or Soviet technology
These are U.S. technology testing our own defenses
🤷I am going with 2 and 3.
Zoom out🌍: Everyone keeps talking about transparency — yet, since time began, there have been state secrets
Imagine if we demanded full transparency on what was happening in Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project
Or on the ICBM tests during the 1960s and 70s
Or on the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird program.
The government has to be able to keep secrets — so this whole thing about if there is no full transparency, then there must be aliens is silly…
Watch tonight📺: Congresswoman Nancy Mace on the absurdity of America’s politicians participating in conspiracy theories that grow crazier.
King of the Jungle🐆
🐆The anti-data center just found a winning argument and an unlikely hero — the Clouded Leopard.
📰The New York Times reports that a Nashville data center might disturb the breeding habitat at a Nashville zoo!
“How the Nashville Zoo Became the Latest Face of Data Center Opposition”
“Tennessee leaders usually celebrate new business development in the state, including giant data centers. But when the property line for a planned data center is less than a football field’s length away from a breeding habitat for the clouded leopard, a vulnerable species, all bets are off.”
❌STOP THE SHOVELS
🐆The Nashville zoo is the next victim in the rise of data centers around the country.
🏭DC BLOX plans to build a data center just 300 feet from the zoo’s endangered clouded leopard breeding center.
This is less than a football field’s length away.
‼️The data center would bring constant noise, light and industrial activity that could affect not only the endangered leopards, but more than 3,000 animals at the zoo.
Why it matters‼️: Over 4,500 data centers are up and running in the U.S., and 700 plus are under construction.
Zoom in🔎: These centers use over 176 terawatt-hours of electricity in a year
Thus raising electric prices for all of us.
In perspective👀: This is roughly enough to power around 16 million U.S. homes.
Plus➕: They use 17 billion gallons of water a year and pay little in taxes.
The tax code wasn’t written to deal with data center valuation
Zoom out🌍: The anti-business and populist crew hates data centers but couldn’t find a winning argument — now they have!
Watch tonight📺: The President and CEO of Nashville’s Zoo Rick Schwartz will introduce us to the clouded leopard you never knew existed
