French President Emmanuel Macron slap memes just broke the internet😂 A combined collection of the 25 funniest memes in one thread 🧵

For more than a decade, the United States has nurtured a secret intelligence partnership with Ukraine that is now critical for both countries in countering Russia... Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears abandoned and destroyed, its command center a burned-out husk, a casualty of a Russian missile barrage early in the war. But that is above ground. Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive...

The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued depicting an image of “8647,” but a U.S. attorney whom President Trump appointed will determine whether to prosecute Comey over the post. If Comey refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service leading the investigation into the Instagram post can apply for a subpoena through an assistant U.S. attorney.

The markets are responding positively to a vast shift in the direction of the Trump economic policy direction (a little change that I’ve been calling for since well before Liberation Day). I’m very happy about it as well. There’s a reason that’s vitally important: Right now, the Republicans have a lot of running room, and one of the reasons they have a lot of running room is because the Democrats continue to be insane. I don’t just mean they’re insane in terms of their policy preferences, although many of those policy preferences are quite crazy. I mean, culturally speaking, the...

Make the Galaxy Great Again. The White House has heralded Star Wars Day with an eye-catching AI-generated image of a buff-looking President Trump wielding a red lightsaber and characterizing him as a Sith slayer. Trump, 78, looked stoic in the image, with bulging biceps and the American flag, as well as bald eagles behind him, in the stunning social media post by the White House. “Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to … bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our...

The Republican-led Texas House has officially caved to the radical Left’s war on free speech—and shockingly, it’s being spearheaded by none other than the state’s own scandal-plagued former House Speaker Dade Phelan. On Tuesday, House Bill 366 passed with bipartisan support, making it a potential crime in the state of Texas to share or distribute AI-generated and “altered media”—including political memes—without a government-approved disclaimer on political ads. According to the bill: “A person may not, with the intent to influence an election, knowingly cause to be published, distributed, or broadcast political advertising that includes an image, audio recording, or video...

OpenAI’s ChatGPT recently launched a feature that allows users to generate AI images in the familiar art style of Studio Ghibli, a famous Japanese animation studio. Social media users immediately began circulating memes depicting iconic moments from President Donald Trump’s legendary political career. Studio Ghibli, a popular Japanese animation studio founded in 1985 in Tokyo, is known for films including My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989), Spirited Away (2001), Howl’s Moving Castle (2004), and Ponyo (2008). Now, President Trump and others have received a Studio Ghibli-style makeover in a new AI trend that is sweeping X.

Their faces have become a byword for success, exasperation and drama after their photos were shared across the world. They say a picture says a thousand words, but in the early 2000s teenagers found that memes could become a new universal language. Connecting social-media users across the globe, the 'success-kid', 'disaster girl' and 'side-eyeing Chloe' became common fixtures in day-to-day life. But after the split-second image was captured, the real-lives behind iconic memes rarely leave the shadows of the internet. And now the childhood-favourites are all grown up - and while you may instantly recognise their internet personas they are...

Major AI service providers continue to deploy content moderation algorithms designed to suppress and manipulate viewpoints, actively enforcing censorship under the guise of moderation. From Foreign PsyOps to Domestic Thought Control The censorship and content manipulation we see today did not emerge organically—it was the result of government-directed psychological operations (PsyOps) repurposed for domestic control. What was once used in foreign influence campaigns to destabilize adversarial regimes or control narratives abroad was turned inward—against the American people. The Twitter Files, exposed by investigative journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, provided irrefutable evidence that U.S. government agencies used taxpayer dollars to...

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who infamously tore up President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address in 2020, had to watch in frustrated silence from the House benches as he addressed Congress on Tuesday. Pelosi, gripping her cane, resigned her leadership post after the 2022 congressional elections, in which Republicans retook the House. She had held a firm grip on power in her party — even after leading it to historic defeat in 2010. In 2020, she was in the midst of an effort to impeach and remove President Trump from power. When he delivered a...

Most people watching President Trump’s first joint address to Congress approved of his speech according to snap polls. Seventy-six percent of people approved of the president’s remarks, while 23 percent disapproved as reported Wednesday in CBS News and YouGov survey results. A majority of respondents, 63 percent, said Trump spent a lot of time on issues they cared about compared to 28 percent who said the opposite. Another 9 percent said he spent no time at all on their topics of interest. Respondents also noted that his speech left them with a positive feeling overall, 68 percent said the speech...

Tonight after President Trump honored “DJ”, the 13 year old cancer survivor who wants to be a police officer, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace said something truly horrific. In the video below, she starts out saying all the right things. She says she was moved or touched by the story and hopes DJ lives a long life and has a successful career as a police officer. Everything was basically fine until the end of her little monologue where she just had to get her nasty little jab in and that’s where things went south and X / formerly Twitter is enraged over...

The Democratic Party is, put mildly, struggling here in the early part of the year of our Lord 2025. After a decisive defeat at the hands of a man who they devoted all of their energy to destroying, Dems have been forced to stand by and watch as that man rapidly undoes all of the nefarious things that they did for the last four years in an attempt to shred the Constitution of the United States and establish permanent one-party rule. Worse yet for them, the majority of Americans are cheering on all that's happening. A political party serious about...

Democrats have been mercilessly mocked for protesting President Trump’s address to Congress with paddles — with even left-leaning TV hosts among those roasting lawmakers for bringing “Brazilian steak house” and “bingo” vibes. Stephen Colbert also mocked the protests in a segment on his CBS’ “The Late Show,” sarcastically noting how the “Democrats are getting ready to fight back with their little paddles.”

VIDEONothing better illustrates the Democrats taking the losing side of an 80/20 divide than the public reaction to the House Sergeant At Arms being forced to REMOVE a howling lunatic Wolfman aka Al Green from the House Chamber during President Trump's speech. The divide on unfavorable to favorable reactions was EXACTLY 80/20 as you can see with the Democrats once again being on the LOSING side.

Democrats have been mercilessly mocked for protesting President Trump’s address to Congress with paddles — with even left-leaning TV hosts among those roasting lawmakers for bringing “Brazilian steak house” and “bingo” vibes. The Democratic lawmakers were trolled after showing up to the joint session of Congress Tuesday night brandishing the black signs — complete with phrases like “false” and “Musk Steals” — which they repeatedly flashed as Trump was delivering his speech. But the stunt was widely ripped for falling flat — even among notoriously left-leaning MSNBC hosts and late night comedians. “Why are democrats just sitting there? The signs...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — America's new golden age came screeching to an unexpected halt today, as news broke that President Donald Trump had been fired for forgetting to reply to Elon Musk's email. Trump reportedly missed the deadline to respond to the email from the Department of Government Efficiency requiring all federal employees to list five things they worked on last week. Despite Trump accomplishing an impressive list of tasks, he failed to reply to the email. "A rule is a rule," Musk said when asked by reporters to comment on Trump's abrupt departure. "He was the one who signed off...

HAMBURG — Chaos erupted and hundreds fled in a German city once again today, after what witnesses described as a "deranged maniac" allegedly fired off over 17 memes in a crowded shopping mall. The incident occurred during peak shopping hours, with one witness saying that a commotion arose near the food court, as someone began screaming, "Memes! Memes! Run! Run!" before people began making panicked runs for the exits. "You see this on the news, but you never expect to experience it firsthand," said witness Friedrich Müller. "We were just shopping and enjoying our day when this sick lunatic just...
