American Hero with a Firearm!!
🚨 NEW: Kaylub Giamanco, the HERO father who TOOK OUT the Bend, Oregon elementary school shooter last week, tells the story for the first time "I started hearing children PLEADING for their lives. And then I started hearing gunfire and I just started army crawling faster and faster. And I told myself, this is probably the last thing that I'm ever going to do." "I have to go in. People are going to die." "I crawled through the bottom window that was shot out and continued onto the rug inside where there's a little breezeway with stairs." "And then the special needs classroom was to my left. At that point, I was on the ground on my hands and knees. I re-racked my weapon to make sure that a live round came so that I knew that I was ready to go." "And then I peeked through the window. And at this point I found my opportunity. And I'd seen a teacher on the left struggling with the gunman on the right with the rifle." "And I knew that they were on both sides of me, and I knew that he did not know that I was there. And so at that point I swung the door out and open and I stepped in and I fired." This man deserves the Presidential Medal of FREEDOM! 🇺🇸

The car industry had a century to build an electric car people actually wanted. It didn’t. The aerospace industry had sixty years to make a rocket reusable. It didn’t. The telecom industry had decades to connect the billions it couldn’t profit from. It didn’t. One person looked at all three and started crossing them off. Reusable rockets that land themselves. Electric cars that outsell their gas-powered rivals. A satellite network that beams internet from orbit to any point on the planet. A platform where speech is no longer filtered through a handful of editors. A chip inside a human brain that lets a paralyzed person control a computer with their thoughts. And now a car that flies. Six companies. Six industries. Each one operating at the frontier of its field while feeding engineering, data, and capability back into the others. The rockets fund the satellites. The satellites fund the rockets. The cars train the robots. The AI runs them. The platform keeps the conversation free. The energy powers all of it. People keep waiting for him to fail. They have been waiting for twenty years. The rockets were supposed to explode. They land on boats. The cars were supposed to be toys. They outsell everyone. The satellites were supposed to be impossible. They connect six continents. The brain chip was supposed to be science fiction. It is inside a human skull right now. At some point the pattern stops being luck and starts being something the critics are not equipped to recognize. Not because they lack intelligence. Because the framework they use to judge what is possible was built inside the institutions that couldn’t do what he does. The conversation about Elon Musk has never been about Elon Musk. It has been about how uncomfortable it makes people to watch one person accomplish what entire industries organized themselves to attempt and never finished. History does not produce this combination often. The drive. The technical depth. The pain tolerance. The willingness to let the mission burn through everything else. And the insane ambition to attempt all of it at once. Every one of these technologies would have arrived eventually. Reusable rockets. Electric vehicles. Global connectivity. Brain interfaces. None of them violated the laws of physics. But eventually can mean fifty years. And fifty years is the difference between your grandchildren seeing it and you seeing it. The most overlooked thing Musk has done is not any single invention. It is how much of the future he pulled into the lifetimes of people who would have died before it arrived. Earth does not get many of these. And the people still betting against him are making the same mistake every industry made before he walked in and did the thing they said couldn’t be done.

Democrats discovered billionaires in politics were a threat to democracy the exact day one stopped writing them checks. When Michael Bloomberg spent around $1 billion of his own money in the 2020 primary, then another $100M to help Biden in Florida, nobody called it an attack on democracy. When George Soros put $125M into a single Democratic super PAC and became the largest political donor of the 2022 cycle, it was "civic engagement." When Reid Hoffman, Dustin Moskovitz, JB Pritzker and Tom Steyer wrote eight- and nine-figure checks cycle after cycle, it was "saving democracy." When Bill Gates reportedly gave around $50M to a pro-Harris group in 2024, silence. In 2020, dark money groups spent over $500M backing Democrats, more than double what went to Republicans. In 2024, Kamala Harris raised more than $1 billion in under three months. Democrats outspent Republicans and lost. So the problem was never billionaires in politics. The problem is a billionaire who doesn't fund your side. And here's what nobody in DC wants to say out loud: old billionaire money is quiet money. It funds the foundations, NGOs, think tanks and consultants that make up the permanent establishment. It doesn't challenge the system. It is the system. It freezes the picture: same insiders, same incumbents, same experts, every single cycle. You can like or hate Musk's spending, but at least it's out in the open. If you really want money out of politics, start with your own party's donor list.
After spending $290 million to elect Trump in 2024, Elon Musk is now spending $369 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress. Vote NO on Musk, YES for democracy. Stop Musk and Republicans from maintaining their rubber-stamp Congress for Trump’s disastrous policies.

Thank you sir
HIS NAME IS KAYLUB GIAMANCO. THE DAD WHO STOPPED THE OREGON SCHOOL GUNMAN. The 36 year old carpenter and dad of two was driving home for lunch when he heard gunshots at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, the school his daughters attend. He followed the gunman into the special education classroom and stopped him. Authorities say Kaylub's actions prevented even more deaths. But his brother says Kaylub doesn’t see himself as a hero. Three children and a teacher were kiIIed. Another child and a teacher were critically injured. A 7 year old in a wheelchair was shot in the face and is currently fighting for his life in the hospital. Kaylub wasn’t looking for recognition. He was just a dad who ran toward the danger when his kids’ school was under attack. Please share his story. Pray for Kaylub, the grieving families, and everyone still fighting to recover. What would you want him to hear today?

Real American Hero!!
This is Kaylub Giamanco, a 36-year-old carpenter and father of two from Bend, Oregon. He was driving home from lunch on Thursday when he saw a guy with a shotgun blast his way into an elementary school. Kaylub ran from his truck, pulled his licensed handgun, and charged into the school, finding and killing the gunman.

You paying attention yet…
The Barbary states declared that the Quran gave them the right to seize Christian ships and enslave their crews. And the Pasha of Tripoli demanded tribute and declared war on America in 1801 Jefferson refused to pay. He ordered the Marines and the fleet to Tripoli instead. That's why the Marine Corps hymn still sings "…to the shores of Tripoli." We didn't negotiate with jihad. We ended it with cannon fire and steel. America's first war as a free nation was fought against Islamic piracy and slavery.

Give this a read…
Dear Secretary Bessent @SecScottBessent, My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov. The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank’s profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison. I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return. I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something. Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act. Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with “America” in its name. And once again, not one individual charged. Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working. A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats. This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried. There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go. Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: “Justice is the defense of our liberty.” I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel’s money should be standing next to him. I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them. This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one. Three things would change the math overnight. Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury’s history combined. End “too big to jail.” An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. And if Bank of America will not act as America’s bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them. Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine. I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it. Respectfully, Everett A. Stern HSBC Whistleblower Founder and Intelligence Director, Tactical Rabbit

Listen up
🚨#ALERT: Everyone needs to be aware of this Journalist Avery Daye exposes the history of Minnesota Rep Ilhan Omar “Ilhan Omar — I figured not enough people know about her family’s history, so let’s recap: Her dad and her grandfather were both high-ranking military officials in the Barre regime, which killed over 200,000 people. They’re most famous for the Isaaq genocide — it was the worst of the worst: aerial bombings, executions, man-made famine. People massively suffered under this regime, with the help of people like Ilhan Omar’s family who supported the regime and carried out this, this horror. — They have family ties to this guy known as the Butcher of Hargeisa, and his whole shtick was “kill all but the crows.”” “So the suffering of the people of Somalia was so bad that there was a civil war and the regime was overthrown. Her family fled first to Kenya and then Minnesota, claiming they’re like these asylum seekers. These poor, poor people. No, no, no, no. They were fleeing to escape being held accountable for what they did. She was not oppressed. Her family, they were the oppressors.” “So for the Democratic Party to have her as a representative is insane to me — and the way that they’ve like rebranded her as all this poor refugee? No, no. She wasn’t a refugee of war. Her family created the war.”

Screw you Lars! Hypocrite much?
Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke says Trump's deal for 300,000 tons of Russian diesel is 'regrettable' because it gives Russia revenue. The EU bought 12.18 MILLION tonnes of Russian LNG this year alone, about €7.9 billion. That's 40 times more. Maybe start at home, Lars.

Disturbing…. these people are sick
This is uncomfortable viewing for me. Takes me back to when I was attacked by a mob of some 200 men in Tahrir Square in Cairo, when I was reporting for 60 Minutes and I was gang-raped, sodomized & beaten. Mob violence is a call to the worst of humanity because it is cover for cowards.
