I'm French 🇫🇷. I was born in Paris. I spent 25 years there. But now: I don't even want to know what happens in that hellhole 💀⚰️. Not “troubled.” Not “declining.” Not “going through a difficult period.” No. A HELLHOLE. A country where everything is dirty, expensive, hostile, bureaucratic and permanently dysfunctional. You pay absurd taxes for public services that increasingly behave as if providing a service were an unreasonable personal request. Paris is noise, aggression, filth, traffic, strikes, scaffolding, sirens, queues, broken infrastructure and the constant sensation that every basic task has been deliberately redesigned to waste your time. Nothing works without friction. Nothing happens without paperwork. Nothing can be fixed without a committee, a consultation, a union dispute, three administrative layers and somebody explaining why expecting normality is politically problematic. The state takes more, delivers less, and compensates for the difference with lectures. Every few weeks something burns, something stops running, somebody blocks something, somebody smashes something. France is sinking into barbarity. I spent 25 years there. That's enough.

The nation owes a debt to @JGebbia and his excellent team. They worked incredibly hard, with no compensation, to make government services work better for all Americans. 🫡 🇺🇸
Imagine seeing your work announced on the national stage by the world's most gifted speakers, like @SecRubio who introduced our new design for the U.S. Passport, in collaboration with the State Department. National Design Studio is growing! ndstudio.gov/jobs

NEW: RFK Jr. says Medicare spending on wound care patches exploded from $200 million in 2019 to $14 billion last year: "It's all stolen." Bad actors billed Medicare billions by slapping the most expensive skin grafts on elderly and dying patients who didn't need them. "The doctors who prescribed them would get 6% of the sales cost. And so, they were incentivized to prescribe more expensive products. In Europe, they spend 35 cents a cubic inch. We were spending $135, and that went up to $2,000 a cubic inch." "So 2019, we were paying $200 million. Last year we spent 14 billion. All stolen. It's all stolen. And we were on track to spend 23 billion this year." "We put an end to it, and we now have driven that cost down to somewhere around a billion dollars." In one Arizona case, the owners of two wound care companies pleaded guilty to more than $1.2 billion in fraudulent claims. Medicare paid over $1 million per patient for grafts slapped on elderly patients who didn't need them, many of them dying in hospice. In June, DOJ charged 11 more defendants over more than $2 billion in allograft claims, including a company accused of issuing sham invoices to inflate what Medicare paid. It feels like every week I learn a new way people were ripping off taxpayers for billions.

Outrage in France after Bally Bagayoko, the far-left mayor of the country’s most infamous no-go zone Saint-Denis joined student rioters who were attacking a high school in the area. He could be seen laughing with them, giving high fives and jumping up and down. Bagayoko is the mayor of 150 000 people, of which around 90% are immigrants, second-generation migrants and third-generation migrants.

$MU Morgan Stanley report suggests that the market hasn't priced in Micron's new guidance yet. "Micron extends its qualitative guidance out to 2028; expecting S/D for memory to be tighter in both 2027 and 2028 than this year….. … that's unlikely to be initially priced in by investors, but matches our assessment of what the strength in AI demand means for memory" MS raised FY28 EPS 51% to $225, now 25% above consensus Bullish 🔥

She and every Democrat voted against advancing the Stop Insider Trading Act in the Senate just a few minutes ago.
Working people deserve to know that when politicians make decisions that affect the economy, they’re doing it for the public and not their stock portfolios. Ban Congressional stock trading. And ban Presidents and VPs from trading stocks, too.

Britain’s intelligence service has a multi-billion pound budget. Guess who caught the terrorist living in England? Not British intelligence. Israeli and German spies had to track a bomb plot across Europe and hand the British government the suspect’s home address in Sheffield. He had lived in an ordinary English neighborhood for ten years on British citizenship. MI5 had no idea. British intelligence misses an armed terror operative living in Yorkshire. But British police have plenty of staff to arrest citizens over Facebook posts within hours.

When”Death to America” and “Vote Democrat” mean the same thing…
It is not a good sign when the IRGC shifts from "Death to America" to "Vote Democratic." The IRGC is reportedly encouraging Americans to vote against the GOP in the midterms. nypost.com/2026/09/29/world-… ...

The number of ‘fake’ doctors and nurses just in California is mind-boggling. We have now confirmed over 3,780 nurses and physicians who very well appear to have counterfeit degrees from India.
We have identified 11 nurses and 5 physicians in five Southern California hospitals who may have counterfeit degrees from India, including a current emergency medicine trauma surgeon.

Stop scrolling. Look at what a British court just tried to hide. When that Hamas bodyguard was arrested in London for plotting terrorist attacks, Westminster Magistrates' Court slapped an unprecedented gag order on the case. One hundred years of total anonymity. A century of secrecy. The British public was not supposed to know that their government handed citizenship to a terrorist until the year 2125. The only reason you can read this today is because The Sunday Times spent thousands of pounds taking the court to legal battle. Think about that. Your courts give a century of anonymity to a foreign militant. Yet they publish the full names, home addresses, and faces of British grandmothers within forty-eight hours for posting angry comments online. Two-tier policing? No. That is institutional treason in broad daylight.

Hero
Had this man not found the courage to fight back after being repeatedly attacked with an axe capable of cutting through metal—while bleeding profusely—and had the presence mind to trigger the hijack/emergency code, initiate the emergency response and open the cockpit door to allow passengers to assist him, the aircraft’s subsequent dive could have had catastrophic consequences. Had that aircraft not been recovered, the geopolitical consequences for the Middle East could have been profound and potentially irreversible. Sometimes history turns on the courage, resilience and presence of mind of one person. Yes. One Indian man.

I was honored to join @POTUS and fellow tech leaders at the @WhiteHouse for a discussion on Super Intelligence and the release of the SI Accord. SI has the potential to transform our economy and improve lives around the world. Memory is foundational to SI, and I was proud to represent Micron in the room. Micron’s historic investments in U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D will help build the capacity needed for this next era of technology. With our comprehensive memory and storage portfolio, we will continue supporting our customers as they advance SI safely and responsibly. Memory can be a part of the solution. This is a pivotal moment for American technology leadership. Building the semiconductor manufacturing, research and talent base to power the next generation of SI will be critical.
