Princess Meghan translating Prince Harry's English Speech to Spanish. When you have a Queen Camilla who doesn't even care to show some interest in what she does or show respect to the people hosting her, and a Princess of Wales that cannot even speak proper English, naturally you feel threatened and so jealous of Meghan, who speaks so many languages and is so natural and relatable to everything she does and a hard worker.

🚨 NOW: Rep. Tim Burchett just angrily STORMED OUT of a committee meeting saying a backroom deal was cut to let Democrats control what they do! "We're going to BLOW IT because we're not acting like we're in the majority! [We] allow the Democrats to tell us what to do. It's just UNBELIEVABLE!" "At some point we're going to have to give some guts. This town is crooked as a dog's leg and I'm disgusted." "Had some amendments that were cutting regulation things that we should, as Republicans, do. Because of backroom deals they cut, they won't allow any amendments on the bill because the Democrats didn't agree to it! So here we are in the majority and we're not allowed to do that!" "And I guarantee you when the Democrats are in the majority, which they very much could be because of this kind of garbage — [they won't do this]." "I want to FIGHT." 🔥

This is the most jaw-dropping 4 minutes and 21 seconds you will watch this year. Nicole Shanahan — ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks — just went full whistleblower on the entire Silicon Valley “tech wife mafia” and how they were used. Her exact words (full clip attached): “I don’t think many of the tech mafia wives realize… they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset. Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies. A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.” Then she turns the knife inward: “These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up. But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken. At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.’ Social justice + climate change — it gets progressive women 100% of the time.” She even says many now believe the biggest “climate change issues” are actually geoengineering issues. This isn’t some random podcast bro. This is a woman who lived in the mansions, sat on the boards, flew private to Davos parties… and is now saying: “We were the useful idiots.”

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Democrats are preparing to RIP APART Trump's tariff agenda, starting with CANADA. According to the Wall Street Journal, incoming Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden is already working on legislation to repeal Trump's Canadian tariffs and restrict his power to impose new ones. And some Republicans have already voted AGAINST those tariffs. But Trump has a rather convenient advantage. He can VETO the legislation. Democrats may control both chambers of Congress, but they don't have the two-thirds majority needed to override him. And the calendar makes things even worse. On January 1, Trump's tariffs on Canadian vehicles, parts and steel are scheduled to jump to 50%. The new Congress doesn't take office until January 3. So Democrats are preparing to dismantle Trump's trade war, while Trump still has time to make it considerably more expensive. Canada, meanwhile, is negotiating with BOTH realities in mind.

🚨 JUST IN: TEXAS 2.0? Concerns are mounting over incoming Governor Gina Hinojosa’s plan to freeze residential electricity rates on DAY ONE of her administration. Hinojosa intends to use emergency executive powers to freeze electricity rates and force major corporations, including data centers, to pay their fair share. Critics warn that the move could disrupt Texas’ electricity market, discourage investment and create serious challenges for the state’s power grid. With Republicans expected to retain control of the Texas Senate, a major political and economic showdown could be brewing. Is Texas about to become the next energy policy battleground?

Steve Jobs was worth over $200 million at 25. He paid his daughter $385 a month. Her mother cleaned houses and went on welfare. The county had to sue him to pay it back. In the video below, his daughter Lisa talks about growing up with him. Jobs was 23 when she was born. He helped pick her name. Then he denied she was his. A DNA test said he was the father. He told Time magazine that 28% of men in America could be. The same year, Apple went public. He became one of the richest young men in the country. He named a computer after her: the Apple Lisa. For years, he refused to admit it. One day her mother was on the phone with him, sobbing, begging for money. Lisa, a little girl, took the phone and said: “Just give her some money.” Then she hung up. Another time, her mother asked him for a house. He said yes. Then he bought one for himself. At 14 she moved in with him. His condition: she couldn’t see her mother for six months. Years later, he was dying of cancer. She sat by his bed. “The thing he kept on saying is, ‘I owe you one, and I’m so sorry.’” Did she forgive him? “I think not at the time.” “In many ways, yes.” When her memoir came out, his widow and his sister released a statement: her story “differs dramatically from our memories.” The case for Jobs: he was young, he came back, and he tried to make it right before he died. The case for Lisa: a billionaire’s daughter shouldn’t have grown up on welfare. He named a computer after her. He wouldn’t say she was his. On his deathbed, he said, “I owe you one.” Was “I’m sorry” enough, or did it come 30 years too late?

I genuinely want to understand what’s going on between Gina Hinojosa and Elon Musk. Why does she seem so determined to go after him and his businesses, particularly Tesla? Is this purely political because Musk is a close ally of Donald Trump and the Republicans, or is there more to the story? What am I missing? 🇺🇸

🚨 BREAKING: GINA HINOJOSA GIVES ELON MUSK UNTIL DECEMBER TO PAY ALL OUTSTANDING TAXES OWED IN TEXAS OR FACE SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. 🇺🇸 Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has reportedly issued a December deadline to Elon Musk, demanding that Tesla and his other companies operating in Texas fully comply with applicable state tax obligations or face potential legal and regulatory action. The development could open another major political confrontation between the Democrats and Republicans, particularly as Donald Trump and several Republican allies have maintained close political ties with Elon Musk. Hinojosa, a Democrat, is making it clear that her incoming administration will not give special treatment to billionaires or major corporations. She reportedly wants Tesla and other Musk-owned businesses to meet their tax responsibilities rather than benefit from political connections. The situation could further intensify the growing divide between Democrats and Republicans, with Trump’s relationship with Musk potentially becoming another talking point in the battle over corporate taxation, economic policy and political influence in Texas. The controversy also raises questions about the future of Tesla’s operations in Texas, considering the company’s significant manufacturing presence in the state. Any proposed changes to corporate taxation could have implications for Tesla’s business plans, investment decisions and relationship with the incoming Democratic administration. Meanwhile, Republicans close to Donald Trump could find themselves under pressure to respond, especially given Musk’s public support for Trump and his involvement in Republican political circles. Democrats, on the other hand, could use the controversy to reignite discussions about billionaire wealth, corporate accountability and whether major companies should receive preferential treatment. With December approaching, all eyes would be on Elon Musk, Tesla, Donald Trump and the Republican leadership to see how they respond to the proposed ultimatum.

LA FOTO CHE HA FATTO PAURA ALLA DESTRA. ANCHE A QUELLA DESTRUPIDA ITALIANA. (Soprattutto) Questa è la Dott.ssa Sarah Jukaku. Guardatela bene, perché è di lei che parlano da giorni, con insulti, bugie e campagne di fango. E non si vergognano neanche un po' di scrivere falsità. L'unica verità che hanno scritto è il suo nome e cognome. Quello che non dicono è che è un'americana, nata e cresciuta in Michigan, figlia di immigrati indiani di Bhatkal, in Karnataka. Il nonno, Jukaku Shamshuddin, era avvocato ed è stato vice ministro delle Finanze del governo dello Stato di Mysore sotto il primo ministro B. D. Jatti, dal 1958 al 1962. Il padre, il dottor Tayeb Jukaku, è nefrologo, si è laureato in Medicina a Bengaluru prima di trasferirsi negli Stati Uniti. Sarah Jukaku si è laureata al Michigan in Sociologia e Studi sul Vicino Oriente, ha conseguito un master in Politica Sociale Comparata all'Università di Oxford e si è laureata in Medicina alla Columbia University di New York nel 2015. Ha fatto l'internato al Weill Cornell e la specializzazione in Psichiatria alla Michigan Medicine. È stata co-direttrice di psichiatria all'University Health Services del Michigan e nel 2024 ha fondato il suo studio privato ad Ann Arbor, Mind Work. Il marito è Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, detto Abdul, appena eletto Senatore degli Stati Uniti per il Michigan. Abdul El-Sayed, nato e cresciuto in Michigan da padre immigrato egiziano, si è laureato con il massimo dei voti in Biologia e Scienze Politiche all'Università del Michigan nel 2007. Come Rhodes Scholar ha conseguito un dottorato in Sanità Pubblica a Oxford nel 2011 e poi la laurea in Medicina alla Columbia nel 2014. Abdul El-Sayed è medico epidemiologo, è stato professore assistente di epidemiologia a Columbia, direttore esecutivo del Dipartimento della Salute di Detroit dal 2015 al 2017 e direttore del Dipartimento della Salute, dei Servizi Umani e per i Veterani della Contea di Wayne dal 2023 al 2025. Sarah e Abdul si sono conosciuti in Michigan, si sono sposati nel maggio 2006 e hanno due figlie, Emmalee e Serene. Dopo aver vinto le elezioni per il Senato in Michigan, Abdul ha chiamato la moglie sul palco per ringraziarla per il supporto ricevuto durante la campagna elettorale e per essersi occupata nell'ultimo anno della loro casa e delle figlie, praticamente da sola. Ha fatto quello che qualsiasi candidato eletto avrebbe fatto: ringraziare la moglie e la famiglia per il supporto ricevuto. Ringraziarla, soprattutto, per aver sostenuto il peso della casa e dei figli da sola mentre lui era in giro a fare campagna elettorale! La destra americana si è scatenata accusando, e mentendo, Abdul di essere il tipico padre padrone musulmano che costringe la moglie a rimanere reclusa in casa, fare le pulizie, cucinare e badare ai bambini. Ci sta, in fondo è più facile spaventarsi di un velo che prendersi il tempo di leggere un curriculum. Quello che nessuno si aspettava è che la destra di puro ceppo italico si tuffasse nella stessa campagna di fango: media e social, gente che condivide senza verificare, che grida al pericolo islamico. Hanno timore che la signora Sarah Jukaku possa rappresentare un pessimo esempio per le giovani di puro ceppo italico. Certo, hanno ragione ad avere paura, in fondo conseguire tre lauree senza rinunciare al diritto di avere una famiglia potrebbe essere, oltre ad un cattivo esempio, un rischio per la libertà delle nostre giovani generazioni.
