UK SENDING TROOPS TO UKRAINE? | RUSSIA CALLS THEM A ‘LEGAL TARGET’ UK Defense Minister proposed sending military instructors to Ukraine The Prime Minister, however, clarified that, ‘FOR THE TIME BEING’, there are no plans to dispatch British troops to Ukraine. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned that any British personnel training Ukrainians on their soil might become POTENTIAL TARGETS. If British troops were to be targeted, it could trigger direct NATO involvement in the war. I really hope peace is reached before further escalations in this conflict. Should NATO troops be sent to Ukraine to train Ukrainian soldiers?

Biden attacks @elonmusk and X for misinformation 24 hours later, X’s community notes corrects misinformation by 60 Minutes on SBF 😂 How can anyone still claim censorship works better than decentralized solutions like Community Notes?

BREAKING: TRUMP’S $250 MILLION FRAUD TRIAL COMMENCES Trump has just walked into the Manhattan Supreme Court for the $250 million civil fraud trial that could potentially bar him indefinitely from conducting business in New York if proven guilty. The accusation? A systematic financial fraud that spanned years, involving his two adult children and key figures in the Trump Organization. The defendants allegedly inflated real estate property values by billions in business records to secure favorable loan and insurance terms and to reap tax benefits. Last week, Judge Arthur Engoron delivered a blow to Trump by ruling he is liable for the fraud allegations, effectively canceling their New York business certificates and assigning an independent overseer for their dissolution. "Trump's net worth has long been rooted in incredible fraud” - New York's Attorney General Letitia James "Our country is in a very dark place right now. We will make America great again." - Trump What will be the outcome of this trial?

BREAKING: BIDEN WORRIED ABOUT UKRAINE CORRUPTION | NATO SUPPORT AT STAKE A leaked report obtained by Politico reveals that the U.S sees corruption in Ukraine as a ‘real threat’, risking NATO’s ongoing military support. The report ‘stresses that corruption could cause Western allies to abandon Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion, and that Kyiv cannot put off the anti-graft effort.’ The Biden administration is trying to keep this report under wraps. They quietly released a strategy to reduce corruption in Ukraine, however it was a LOT LESS CRITICAL than this leak shows. WHY ARE THEY HIDING THIS CONCERN? Not only because U.S dollars are at stake, but to also prevent opponents of U.S aid to Ukraine from gaining more support, 'many of them Republican lawmakers who are trying to block such assistance’ The U.S has been concerned regarding corruption in Ukraine for a while. Biden even highlighted it at a NATO summit PRIOR to the Russian invasion: “They still have to clean up corruption” (video below). IS ZELENSKY TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY? Hard to tell from the outside, but it’s important to note that he recently fired several top defense officials in his fight against corruption. Ukraine cannot afford to lose NATO support. My biggest concern is again our Governments' willingness to hide facts from the public to advance their agenda. And what makes this even more ironic is that YESTERDAY, Biden was criticizing @elonmusk for the misinformation on 𝕏. This is yet another example of the importance of Free Speech in our society. Are the days of Government censorship coming to an end? And will NATO be forced to seek peace over prolonging the war?

BREAKING: TRUMP OFFERED $5 BILLION BY FTX'S SBF TO NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT Sam Bankman-Fried apparently toyed with the idea of offering Donald Trump $5 billion to abstain from the 2024 presidential race, according to insights by Michael Lewis, author of "The Big Short." In a "60 Minutes" segment, Lewis highlighted that SBF had seriously pondered over the legality and cost of such a move. SBF generously donated to both parties in the past, especially Democrats, which received $40 million in the 2022 midterms. TRUMP'S RESPONSE? It’s not clear whether Trump or his team came up with the $5 billion figure, however we do know that SBF was questioning the legality of such a transaction. Steven Cheung, Trump's spokesperson, swiftly rejected this claim, questioning SBF's credibility and labeling him as a "fraudster." SBF is currently detained in Brooklyn and facing a slew of federal charges, from wire fraud to money laundering. Having covered SBF from the day FTX collapsed (remember our live spaces?), I continue to be shocked by how much power and influence he was able to to amass in such a short period of time! Would Trump have accepted $5 billion to not run for President?

BREAKING: BILL ACKMAN WANTS TO TAKE 𝕏 PUBLIC | WOULD YOU INVEST? Billionaire investor Bill Ackman confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that he is “absolutely" interested in considering exploring a deal with Elon's ​​𝕏 to make it a public company again. When Elon purchased Twitter, he took the company private so retail investors could no longer invest. This allowed him to restructure the company and improve the financials. Today, 𝕏 is breaking user records and is months away from profitability, all while becoming a beacon of free speech. HOW THIS HELPS 𝕏? Since its privatization, 𝕏 has been under financial strain, grappling with a pre-existing debt burden. Elon’s focus on fighting agenda-driven censorship also led to a temporary loss of many advertisers, caused by pressure from the media and various organizations. Ackman's firm, Pershing Square, has secured regulatory approval for a novel investment vehicle that might bring a crucial capital boost to 𝕏. Ackman, who’s joined our spaces before and praised Elon’s Twitter, stated he has "enormous respect" for Elon and his vision of 𝕏 as a free-speech platform. If 𝕏 goes public, it opens the door for retail investors to back a platform that protects Free Speech in an increasingly censored world. This aligns with Ackman's appreciation for 𝕏 as a free-speech haven. For the first time ever, the public might finally get an opportunity to invest in a platform that champions free speech! This collaboration between @elonmusk and @billackman could not only help 𝕏, but allow the public to put their money where their mouth is and support free speech. Would you invest in 𝕏 if it goes public?

NEW YORK IS SINKING! | SO ARE MIAMI & SAN FRANCISCO! NYC just had record flooding across the city, and it's getting worse every year. This is not a coincidence. What if I told you that what made NYC so iconic, is was what will ultimately sink it? The iconic skylines and skyscrapers are sinking part of NYC by up to 5 millimeters annually! This might not sound like a big deal now, but over time, we're talking some serious inches that could leave parts of the city uninhabitable. NYC is not alone. Other cities like San Fransico, Miami, Atlantic City, and New Orleans are also at risk. They might not all have skyscrapers, but the rising sea levels are hammering these cities. The other factor contributing to the sinking is "Isostatic Rebound." A remnant from the last Ice Age, the northern regions are rising due to the melting of ancient ice sheets, causing areas like NYC to descend while sea levels rise. Is NYC doomed to keep flooding, eventually ceasing to exist?

NEW YORK GOVERNOR FLIPS ON MIGRANTS In Dec 2021, NY Gov. Kathy Hochul invited all migrants to come to New York. She welcomed them with open arms, quoting the welcoming message from the Statue of Liberty touting the state's sanctuary status. A few days ago, she changed her tune due to the ongoing migrant crisis: "If you're going to leave your country, go somewhere else. We have to let the word out that when you come to New York, you’re not going to have more hotel rooms. We don’t have capacity, so we have to also message properly." She advocated for people to enter the country properly: "The smarter thing is to apply for asylum before you leave your country.” Immigration plays a key role in our economy and labor force, but it must be done through the correct channels. If New York is struggling to accept more migrants, then we have a serious problem! Is Hochul a hypocrite, or did she bite off more than she can chew?

BIDEN BLAMES ELON/𝕏 FOR MISINFORMATION The audacity to make such a claim, when the U.S Government and the media were behind some of this decade’s biggest lies. Remember the Twitter Files? Gov Lies Exposed by X: - Covid did not leak from a lab in Wuhan - Hunter Biden’s laptop does not exist - Ukraine is easily winning the war - Russia influenced U.S elections And guess who exposed those lies? Twitter/𝕏, after @elonmusk takeover The Biden administration is living in denial "They, they, they, they, they go online, they go, and you have no notion whether it's true or not” - Biden

MEDIA DISINFORMATION: IS UKRAINE WINNING THE WAR? The Ukraine conflict grinds on with little change on both sides. In fact, none of the experts can decide on which side is winning! - Less than 500 square miles of territory have shifted hands this year. - Less territory changed hands in Aug than any other month. - Both Russia and Ukraine grapple with entrenched positions as new, inexperienced recruits fill the gaps left by fallen soldiers. - Russia’s forces outnumber Ukraine’s nearly 3 to 1 on the battlefield, and with a larger population to replenish its ranks, it could benefit from a prolonged war. - Time is running out as heavy rains loom, potentially hindering the use of heavy vehicles, including recently received U.S. Abrams and British Challenger tanks. MEDIA PORTRAYAL: - Kyiv's counter-offensive 'gaining ground' - Euronews - US sees 'notable progress' by Ukraine army in south - BBC - Ukraine makes 'important progress' in counteroffensive - Skynews - Kyiv claims success as southern fighting intensifies- BBC - Ukraine says it retakes more ground as Zelenskiy visits front lines - Reuters - After a frontline breakthrough, Ukraine appears optimistic it can further breach Russian defenses - CNN Support for Ukraine has often been framed in a simplistic binary, where 'black-and-white' thinking can hinder a deeper understanding of the conflict's causes and potential paths to peace. The media jumped on @elonmusk whenever he criticized the lack of any peace efforts, yet ignored the fact he's done more to support Ukraine than any other billionaire through Starlink. Skynews even went as far as blaming Elon's 'ignorance and ego' for the death of Ukrainians. They call this journalism?? Biographer Walter Isaacson stated it accurately in our interview yesterday: If Starlink wasn't there, Ukraine "would have fallen" early in the war. Yet the media is too busy with their propaganda and agendas to stick to facts. According to the media, you either praise the war and lie about Ukraine winning, or you're automatically considered anti-Ukraine. @DavidSacks has great posts on the war's progress, putting his neck out to call out the bias. Is trust in mainstream media coming to an end?

LIL TAY EXPOSES HER FATHER OVER DEATH HOAX AND ABUSE Controversial 16 year old rapper, vilified by the media, attacked for ‘faking her own death, did a live stream where she exposed her father of not only faking her death to launch a crypto coin but also: - Shoving and physically abusing her, her brother, and her biological mother. - Being sexually inappropriate with women he met online in front of her and in the same bed as her. - Allowing stepmother Hanee Hope to physically abuse her and encouraging her son to participate. - Feeding her rotten food - Not providing her with proper clothing and shoes - Owing her $250,000 in child support - Being racist towards black and Hispanic people, claiming they were taking advantage of her and exposing her to drugs. - Faking her death last month to promote a crypto coin If true, these claims are disgusting, and the father should face criminal charges! The media, along with anyone chasing clicks on social media, should be ashamed for coming to conclusions before getting all the facts, especially when it comes to an underage girl. I'm not even surprised anymore. My thoughts are with Lil Tay. I hope she can escape this cycle of abuse.

Jamaal Bowman: Kevin McCarthy Parallels Jan 6 Congressman Jamaal Bowman (Democrat from New York) sets off a fire alarm in one of the House buildings this morning. WHY DID HE DO THIS? This stunt happened as the Republicans were about to rush a quick spending bill to prevent the government from shutting down. The Democrats were caught off guard and irritated that they were not getting enough time to go through the 70+ pages of the bill. Apparently, some more than others. 🤣 BOWMAN’S RESPONSE Bowman's office said: "Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote. The Congressman regrets any confusion." This sounds fishy. Who accidentally pulls a fire alarm? JAN 6 PARALLELS House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is drawing parallels between Bowman's alarm-pulling antic and the January 6th rioters: "This should not go without punishment. It's an embarrassment." And he wants a chat with the Democratic leader about it. This is an embarrassing stunt by Bowman, but this is far from what happened on Jan 6. People were hurt and died on that day. The similarity? Both events could be perceived as jeopardizing our democracy... But is it fair to compare the two?

🏳️‍🌈BREAKING: LGBTQ PROTESTERS BEATEN UP My friend @ShaykhSulaiman posted this video of an LGBTQ rally in Lebanon, and after I saw comments praising the violence, I had to post about it. What happened to the 'freedom' we all fight for? Is it only freedom if it fits your values? I understand many don't want values imposed on them or their children, and that's fair. But if someone wants to be gay or change their gender, that's THEIR BUSINESS. You do not have to agree with them, but it doesn't mean you beat them up! We should all live our life as we wish, and let others do the same. Now, if you feel you want to protect the values of your religion, culture or country, then do so peacefully. Vote Protest Enact laws But don't beat up those you disagree with! What are your thoughts on my stance?

FAKE POSTS GOING VIRAL | Who To Blame? This video has gone viral for years as a ‘scientific breakthrough,’ a ‘mystery!’ Is it possible to travel up a set of stairs but loop back to the same place? Before your mind is blown, this is a FAKE! An Escherian Stairwell only exists on paper as a 2D visual illusion. And the ’designer’ of this magical stairwell, a Filipino architect named Rafael Nelson Aboganda, does not even exist. This is another example of how fake news spreads fast. as people chase engagement and clout. In this case it’s harmless, but others have an agenda. Remember the fake video of Biden whispering in a kid’s ear "Let me whisper you a secret, you're one sexy kid. Don't tell mommy what I told you" That video got tens of millions of views and continues to spread across multiple platforms. The same video was used a few months ago, but that time, a loud sniffing noise was added onto the video instead. Is disinformation or Free Speech? How should 𝕏 and other social media platforms deal with it?

NEW YORK FLOODING | BLAMING IMMIGRANTS??? NYC is facing historic levels of abnormal flooding with a month’s worth of rain in just three hours! - Things are set to get worse - I am shocked how some people are linking the migrant crisis to the floods! - I have been critical of the uncontrolled influx of illegal immigrants into the U.S. and NYC. It's true that a radical new solution is required. - To link these two unrelated issues is madness. Cities are built to deal with normal weather conditions, not historically catastrophic anomalies! We shouldn’t politicize everything. Do you disagree?

🚨BREAKING: MORE DETAILS ON WHO SHOT TUPAC More details have come out after a 60-year-old man was arrested in Vegas in connection with Tupac’s shooting: - His name is Duane Keith Davis, aka “Keffe D” - He previously said he was at the scene of the crime, sitting in the front seat of the white Cadillac that came up beside Tupac’s car when shots rang out from the back seat - When Davis was asked on who shot Tupac from the backseat: “Going to keep it for the code of the streets. It just came from the backseat, bro.” - Police searched his home this July and found his memoir, where he describes himself as one of only two living witnesses to Tupac’s shooting, the other being Marion ‘Suge’ Knight - The infamous Suge Knight was always blamed for Tupac’s death, and is currently serving time in prison for manslaughter in an unrelated case. - Tupac’s stepbrother, Mopreme Shakur, responds to the arrest: “We have been through decades of pain. They have known about this guy, who been running his mouth, for years. So why now? For us, this is not over. We want to know why, and if there were any accomplices.” - The below video is the last piece of footage of Tupac before his murder. He's seen celebrating alongside Suge Knight, the owner of Pac's record label. Is justice being served after 27 years?

🚨 BREAKING: LAS VEGAS POLICE ARRESTED TUPAC SHAKUR SHOOTER A man on suspicion of murder in the 1996 drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur has been arrested by LA police. Who can it be?

BREAKING: 𝕏 BREAKS RECORDS AGAIN | NEARS PROFITABILITY! Elon took over Twitter while it was losing $221m a year. Today, CEO @lindayaX announces they're close to profitability! How did we get here? And why is the media not admitting they were wrong? X POST-ACQUISITION: - Elon Fired most of the staff and killed the censorship machines within the company. - Shook up the app, changed the verification checkmark and added monetization. - Allowed creators to make a living doing what they love, censorship-free. - Rebranded the company, and kicked off a citizen journalism wave - Shipped over 100 products since the acquisition AND WHAT’S THE RESULT? - App usage blew up: 550 monthly active users, 250 million daily active users - Video views have roughly doubled since last year - Sports content skyrocketed since last year: NFL: +35% video views F1: +80% US Open: +143% College Football: +93% - Instagram and Reddit copied X's new features for monetization and verification. - And today, CEO Linda Yaccarino announces the company is almost profitable, despite most advertisers pulling out at one stage: “Operating Cash Flow perspective X is at breakeven and will hit profitability in early 2024. 90% of the top 100 advertisers have returned to the platform. In the past 12 weeks alone, about 1,500 have returned.” MEDIA BIAS EXPOSED: Throughout this journey, the media has been shamelessly attacking 𝕏 and @elonmusk. I'm not surprised. The more eyes on 𝕏, the less and less relevant mainstream media is becoming. "Elon Musk wants a second chance to fail at X" - The Verge. "Is time up for Twitter?" - BBC "Twitter Glitches Pile Up as Key Features Fail" - New York Times The innovation is far from over. 𝕏 has launched a plethora of features as it continues on the path of becoming the 'Everything App'. Where do you see 𝕏 by next year?

🚨BREAKING: Senator Dianne Feinstein Has Died! Sen. Feinstein has died at age 90. Nancy Pelosi: "Dianne Feinstein, right from the start, was an icon for women in politics." Sen. Chuck Schumer: "She's a legend. A legend in California as the first woman senator. A legend in the Senate. She was the leader on so many different issues." In February 2023, at age 89, she was hospitalized with shingles. That health scare came the same month Feinstein had announced she would retire from the U.S. Senate when her term was up in 2024. Our thoughts go to her friends and family.

This aged well 😂😂😂 Meta's clone dies as X continues to blow up, months away from profitability, and breaking all user metric records. What a year... t.co/6bQSgeKAps

AOC JUSTIFYING LOOTERS? So, AOC talks about folks shoplifting out of desperation, right? I sympathize with that. Times are getting tougher, and sometimes you must do things you don't like to feed your family. But then you hear about this event at an Apple Store in Philly. A group rushes in and swipes many iPhone 15s, hoping to keep or sell them for a quick profit. This brilliant crew really didn't think that these iPhones would be tracked? Shortly after, Apple remotely disables all the devices, rendering them useless. How do the looters react? They smash up all the iPhones they'd just stolen. And the best part? They live-streamed themselves to their 180,000 followers for everyone to see, encouraging them also to loot. You really can't make this stuff up! One of the girls who was caught said, "I just prefer, you know, never loot again, stay out of trouble, never go to jail.” Hopefully, she learned her lesson. AOC might be right about some people acting in desperation, but there are too many people looting because they know they can get away with it. Is it the state's fault for loosening the shoplifting laws, or should these people be held accountable?

Elon Musk Visits Eagle Pass | Livestreams on 𝕏 The southern border crisis has worsened exponentially as we hit record migrants this week. This has put a lot of stress on cities like New York City, which had initially welcomed the migrants but are now overwhelmed. Many cities are running out of money to support and house the migrants. This is not just a border crisis, but also a humanitarian one, due to the conditions migrants live in once they cross the border. @elonmusk said, "we should not allow people in the country if they are breaking the law. Smooth out legal immigration and stop the flow." Legal immigration plays a KEY ROLE in our economy and GDP. I agree with Elon. We need to fix these conditions so that people entering the country can do so legally and in a manner that allows them to succeed when they get here. What's the best solution to control the record number of migrants crossing the border?

Migrant Molests 7-Year-Old Girl At Knifepoint at NYC Hotel A 34-year-old migrant man molested a 7-year-old girl at knifepoint at a Queens hotel housing asylum seekers: - He lured the child and her twin sister to his room there. - The sisters were playing in the hallway when he convinced them to follow him to a room. - He then placed a knife against the neck of one of the girls and touched her private area. - When the twins’ mother knocked on the door, the man jumped out the window - He then walked back into the building through the lobby - He was confronted by the young victim’s older brother, and a fight ensued. - Cops broke up the brawl and arrested the alleged child molester, according to the sources. MY THOUGHTS: This is a terrible story, but I urge people to avoid using such anecdotal examples to paint migrants in a broad brush. Most migrants are good people looking for a better future. Does that mean we don’t have a migrant problem in the U.S? No. But this doesn’t mean most migrants are criminals. We should focus on the problem, illegal immigration, without unfairly sensationalizing and generalizing. Do you disagree?
