People expect @realDonaldTrump to CHANGE post elections. Same ppl expected him to change after convention. He will NOT. Look at his History.

Nikki Haley on Tulsi Gabbard: “Are we comfortable with someone like that at the top of our national intelligence agencies?”


Irony has given up. #ICC prosecutor has close ties to the #UN body supposed to investigate him for #sexual misconduct. His wife who used to work for it, contacted the victim. Khan blames foreign powers for the investigation. & his staff are fuming. theguardian.com/law/2024/nov/1…


Facts: After a long & vague election campaign, #Trump did win a mandate (though not as big as he claims) to lead and preside over the #UnitedStates However, he did not get a #mandate to alter or subvert the #USConstitution, nor the tenet of Separation of Powers, set within it.


Resistance to Trump's nominations of utterly unfit appointments (like #Gaetz for AG) MAY be the excuse #Trump wants in order to employ the "Recess Appointments" procedure, bypassing the regular US Senate #confirmation process. That may possibly be the point of those appointments.


An important thread, providing needed context on the obfuscation and blaming of Jews, for the antisemitic attack on them, in #Amsterdam #AmsterdamPogrom

Just a reminder that a large part of the police force in Amsterdam are 2nd-generation migrants from North Africa & the Middle East Many of them have refused to guard Jewish locations such as the Holocaust Museum & Jewish events since the Oct 7th Massacre jpost.com/diaspora/artic…

#BREAKING: We are receiving extremely disturbing footage coming out of Amsterdam where Israel’s soccer team, Maccabi Tel Aviv, was playing in a soccer match. Pro-Hamas hate mobs are attacking Jewish fans in the streets of Amsterdam. They’re beaten, kicked, run over, thrown in the…


In the past few hours, sounds of champagne bottles being uncorked were heard in Moscow and Beijing.


Important considerations for Americans.

🧵 A thread addressed to my fellow conservatives who are planning to vote, or considering voting, for Trump. 1/13



There's a huge ongoing disaster in and around Sudan (and separately to the Kurds). Yet much of the world is silent. By selectively protesting a single issue most of the pro-Hamas crowds prove what they really care about is not human suffering. It's about something else.

The ethnic cleansing of over 14 million Sudanese, 30% of the population, marks one of the most severe humanitarian crises of our time. Yet, where are the global protests?

A brilliant thread about the Hezbollah tunnel system within Lebanon.

Hezbollah’s Underground Lebanon. For decades, #Hezbollah has built a huge network of tunnels that serves as a base for their activities. With strategic tunnels, and tunnels built for an attack against #Israel, this is a huge challenge for the #IDF, here is how it was built &…

The fact that I want an official Palestinian 🇵🇸 state for my people doesn’t mean I need to lie and claim that Israel 🇮🇱 is a genocidal apartheid state. Self-determination and lies should not be tied together. ✌️


Recently some writers and literary workers published a letter stating they will boycott Israel. This is an important thread providing context and detail to their false claims. And thus helps expose the moral bankruptcy behind it. It certainly doesn't help the Palestinian plight.

The letter from these literary icons is a testament to how far the literary world has fallen. Gone are the days of historical facts and intellectual curiosity. In are the empty slogans, misinformation, and ahistorical readings of reality that have replaced the values of truth.…

Since its inception, UNRWA has only served to perpetuate the Palestinian refugee crisis while promoting antisemitism, lining its own pockets with international funds, and serving as a front for Hamas. UNRWA is part of the problem, not part of the solution. Israel will continue…

A distinction has to be made: * All WW2 Nazis were fascists. * NOT all fascists are Nazis. People intermix both terms as if they are the same. They are not. These days, Trump led MAGA is portraying many of the traits and is fast evolving into a neo-fascist movement.

North Korean troops fighting against Ukraine further exposes the fallacy of ‘pivoting’ away from Europe and the Middle East based on a myopic view of the competition with the People’s Republic of China.  The Axis of Aggressors is coalescing and the competition is global.…


Important post about systemic disinformation within Twitter/X: Different models are used for different topics. Some of them are causing a systemic bias.

This morning I found out that one of my @CommunityNotes, attached to a highly viral post, suddenly lost its "Helpful" status, after getting over 100k views in the last few days. Turned out that the change was caused by a switch from the so-called "CoreModel", that is used for…

The purpose of this is to conjure a threat environment sufficient to justify authoritarian action if they win. Old trick of those planning coups as well.

almost every speaker at this rally has claimed that "they" tried to kill Trump
