Tonight, my family and I experienced something no family should ever have to go through.
Our restaurant, Singh’s Dining Restaurant in Hammersmith, was attacked by a group of Islamists.
We had been receiving death threats every single day, including one that specifically warned us that 28 October would be our last day.
We raised our concerns, and the @metpoliceuk were aware of the threats. Yet tonight, we found ourselves facing the very nightmare we had feared.
My daughter had to close the shutters just in time. I cannot even begin to imagine what might have happened if she hadn’t acted so quickly. We could have lost someone in our family tonight.
The attackers reportedly tried for a long time to break through the shutters to get inside, leaving shortly before the police arrived.
We have serious concerns about how the attackers knew when to leave, and whether they were alerted before the police arrived. These concerns deserve a thorough and transparent investigation.
Tonight, I am left facing a heartbreaking decision, Do we keep our doors open and risk our lives, or do we shut down the business we have worked so hard to build because I don’t serve Halal food.
No family should ever have to choose between their livelihood and their safety. No one should have to live in fear in their own place of work.
I am angry. I am heartbroken. I am frightened for my family’s safety.
I am calling on the @metpoliceuk to take these threats seriously, investigate tonight’s attack thoroughly, and ensure that my family is protected.
Please share this post. Let our voices be heard. We should not have to wait for someone to lose their life before our safety is taken seriously.
Enough IS Enough.

I am not African American, I’ve never been to Africa, won’t lose sleep if I never visit, I’m an American. I’ve worked too hard to get to this point to ever be some punk socialist. I’m a man, I’m taught to take accountability for all things, to get it out of the mud, to tighten my belt and pull myself up by my bootstraps. All I ever wanted to be was a go getter, to be respected, to make my last name mean something. To say something so thought provoking it could crack a mountain in half. As a man I always took the brave option, I stood for something so I didn’t fall for anything. My word is my word and my name is my name. I love our American way of life. If I go for it in life and I lose then I just lose, I could grow gray and old and be proud that I gave life my all, i didn’t want someone to save me. But here is the trick to life, if you truly try your best you cannot fail. You can’t talk that victim mentality crap to me, I’m an ex felon and I’ve come back to excel in life like I have Elon Musk rockets strapped to my back. Life is about the grind, the process, the person you become in the struggle. Somewhere in life people lost the love of the struggle. I love you Jesus for everything I’ve been through because if it wasn’t for it, I wouldn’t have this beautiful story to tell. #FlipPhillyRed 🦇🇺🇸

Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

Une personne noire peut dénoncer le racisme toute sa vie tout en étant profondément misogyne envers les femmes de sa propre communauté. Personne ne viendra remettre en question ses convictions politiques. Personne ne lui demandera tous les quatre matins s’il est d’extrême droite.
Mais moi, femme noire, il y a toujours des gens qui font la chasse à l’extrême droite et qui viennent me demander si j’en fais partie.
Je trouve ça assez incroyable qu’en tant que femme noire, le simple fait de porter un regard critique sur ma propre culture et sur les comportements de certaines populations africaines suffise à me faire passer pour une personne d’extrême droite.
Quand je dénonce l’excision, les mariages d’enfants, la misogynie des hommes noirs, le patriarcat africain ou certaines traditions profondément barbares, c’est moi qui deviens le problème, pas les pratiques que je dénonce, pas le patriarcat qui les perpétuent. C’est moi, le problème parce que j’ose les critiquer.
Sous prétexte qu’une population est pauvre, minoritaire ou victime de discriminations, faudrait-il fermer les yeux sur les violences qu’elle commet elle-même, notamment envers les femmes et les petites filles ?
Moi, je considère les noirs et Africains comme des êtres humains à part entière, avec les mêmes droits, mais aussi les mêmes responsabilités que les autres peuples. Je refuse de leur accorder une forme d’impunité culturelle sous prétexte qu’ils sont noirs ou africains et le faire c’est du racisme,
Et je vais même aller plus loin, je trouve votre obsession de l’extrême droite terriblement occidentale. Moi, en tant que femme noire, ce qui me fait le plus peur, ce sont les pratiques culturelles barbares de ma propre communauté que je viens de vous énumérer. Ce sont elles qui menacent directement ma liberté, ma dignité et même ma vie de femme.
Vous avez fait de l’extrême droite française votre référence absolue de la barbarie, comme si les pires formes d’oppression humaine ne pouvaient pas exister ailleurs, sous d’autres idéologies, dans d’autres sociétés.
Allez expliquer à une petite fille excisée, mariée de force à un homme adulte, privée d’école et de liberté, que le véritable danger, c’est la femme noire qui dénonce ce qu’elle subit.
Ce qui me révolte, c’est cette incapacité à reconnaître la barbarie lorsqu’elle ne correspond pas à vos catégories politiques.
Je ne vais pas me taire sur les violences faites aux femmes africaines simplement parce que leurs auteurs appartiennent eux aussi à des populations discriminées.
Les femmes et les petites filles africaines sont aussi des êtres humains. Et elles méritent qu’on défende leurs droits sans avoir à demander l’autorisation de qui que ce soit.

A man who lost his voice to ALS is talking again at conversational speed. In his first week.
No gala dinner did that. No foundation press release. No "commitment to awareness."
Neuralink just shared early data from its speech restoration trial: one ALS participant hit 75 words per minute with a 5.8% error rate on a 125,000-word vocabulary, in the first week. For context, normal conversation runs around 120 to 150 words per minute. A few years ago, people in this condition were spelling words one letter at a time with their eyes. Now they're getting close to talking normally, in their own voice, straight from their brain.
Let that sink in. A disease that slowly locks you inside your own body, and someone just built a door.
And here's what's funny. For months, journalists and politicians have been telling us that Elon should "give his money away." Redistribute. Write the big check. Be a good billionaire.
They have it backwards.
Giving money away is the easy part. Anyone can sign a check. Most billionaire philanthropy today is reputation management. You fund a foundation, the foundation funds NGOs, the NGOs fund think tanks and campaigns, the think tanks shape policy, the media covers it warmly, and half the outlets covering it are owned or funded by the same billionaires. Everybody gets a nice headline. The money circulates in a closed loop of people who all know each other. The problem being "addressed" is still there twenty years later, because solving it was never really the business model. The business model was looking like you care.
That's not philanthropy. That's crony capitalism with a charity logo on it.
Now look at the other model.
Give a voice back to people with ALS. Let paralyzed people control a computer with their thoughts, and push toward restoring movement. Work on giving sight back to the blind. Make electric cars mainstream and push transport toward autonomy so getting around doesn't cost a fortune. Put high-speed internet in villages no telecom company would ever bother with. Make access to space radically cheaper. Bet on robots and cheap energy that could one day make building a home affordable without signing up for 25 years of debt.
None of that came from redistributing wealth. All of it came from creating it.
That's the part people refuse to understand. Wealth is not a fixed pie you slice differently. It gets created when someone solves a real problem for real people at scale. And when you do that, you don't help a few thousand people with a grant. You change the baseline for billions of people, permanently, and the solution keeps getting cheaper every year.
A check gets spent once. A solved problem stays solved.
Gates-style philanthropy is going to fade in the coming decades. Not because the people are evil, but because the model is slow, political, captured by intermediaries and optimized for image. Gates himself has announced his foundation will shut down by 2045.
Musk-style philanthropy will become the standard. It just doesn't call itself philanthropy.
It's called entrepreneurship. Value creation. Capitalism.
The most generous thing you can do for humanity is build something that makes an impossible thing ordinary.
Ask the guy who just got his voice back.

For those that haven't been following the Tommy Robinson story... it's INSANE he was convicted of anything.
Back in August 2024 Tommy is on a family holiday in Cyprus posting about the riots, and the Daily Mail decides this is so important it sends a reporter and a photographer all the way to the island to find him, and according to Tommy they even took a photograph of his ex-wife, and then the story goes up and, as he told the jury, within hours people online were posting the name of the hotel he was staying at and telling others to head there, with his kids right there, so his family had to move to a different part of the hotel after he spoke to security, and he ended up leaving the hotel altogether...
...and so what does Tommy do?
He does the exact same thing back to them.
He finds out who wrote it, he hires investigators to locate them, he goes public with it and accuses one of the journalists of “doxxing my children’s location”, he rings one of them up and basically asks whether it would be OK if he did to them what they had done to him, which is literally the whole point, he’s holding up a mirror, and he told the court all he wanted was to question them on camera, the way reporters door-step people every single day, and that it was an attempt to bring the Daily Mail to the table, and even the prosecutor admitted none of it contained direct threats of violence, and yet the people who flew to another country to find him at his hotel are pretending they are the victims, and the man who found where they live and asked them how it feels is the criminal, and the jury couldn’t even agree, it was 10 to 2, and he’s going to be sentenced on December 16 for doing to the Daily Mail exactly what the Daily Mail did to him first, and we’re all supposed to just nod along like this makes perfect sense!!!!!!!
It's PURE INSANITY!!!!!!!

I've been pointing out since the early 2010s that Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez, and Gabriel Zucman have a bad habit of biasing their data construction to fit their politics.
Whenever they make a suspect call in how to handle stats, it ends up showing that inequality is on the rise. They almost never go in the other direction. The errors are non-random and almost invariably reinforce their political claims about rising income and wealth concentration since 1980.
Piketty did this throughout his book Capital in the 21st Century.
Piketty and Saez did this throughout their famous 2003 paper on inequality in the US.
Piketty, Saez, and Zucman Saez and Zucman did this in their Distributional National Accounts paper that Auten and Splinter dissected.
Saez and Zucman did this in their 2019 book on tax incidence and inequality.
Saez and Zucman did this in their flurry of "studies" and white papers to support Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax proposal, California Prop 40, a new wealth tax in France, and dozens of other similar examples.
A new AI report (linked below) audited 138 papers by Saez and Zucman. It found thousands of errors, 194 of which were serious. A whopping 97% of the serious errors went in the same direction: they showed inequality rising faster or made it higher.
But there's a bigger scandal at play here. Despite these clear biases, Piketty, Saez, and Zucman have enjoyed a stream of praise and prestige within the economics profession. They get expedited and friendly reviews in top econ journals even though a more serious peer review should have caught many of these errors (the Quarterly Journal of Economics is a recurring offender in this regard). Journals regularly give them a pass after the errors in their old work come to light - they're never expected to correct any of it, and just keep on using it as if nothing changed. Their non-peer reviewed data claims are also treated as gospel by major media outlets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post. And they get showered with prizes - Saez and Zucman are both Clark Medal winners from the AEA, and Zucman got his prize in 2023 after evidence of major data shenanigans in his work came to light in 2019.
Until now, those of us who have been trying to correct the record have had to wade through the PSZ trio's cluttered, disorganized, and often non-transparent replication packages (almost all of which are convoluted piles of Excel spreadsheets) to find the problems. I did a line-by-line replication of Piketty and Saez's entire 2003 US income inequality series to use one example, and found it was riddled with errors - almost every single one of which biased their results in favor of their political story.
We had the means to catch this stuff as it was happening, but the economics profession failed to do its job. And it failed precisely because its elite ranks wanted to believe the Piketty-Saez-Zucman story for political reasons.

The American left trained me for a generation to be a political activist and operative.
They absolutely LOVED me when I was on their side because I was EFFECTIVE. 30 years of experience and training, plus being an attorney? The American left loved it.
Now they want to vilify me because not only did I walk away from the Democratic Party, I walked away from trans.
I used to be their golden child. Now I’m their ultimate apostate.
When I speak about the American left and Democratic Party being corrupt and infiltrated by trans, I’m speaking from experience. I’m speaking because I was sitting in those meetings and rooms living it and watching it become captured.
I didn’t just read about politics on the internet either. I graduated from college with honors with a degree in political science.
I’m well read with a generation of real life political experience. You can attack and defame me all day, but I will be taking my time, training, talents, and energy elsewhere.
I will be taking all of that and fighting the very thing that took a generation of my young life.
They want to silence me so badly 🤣

I am a proud and loyal Democrat. I served in President Clinton’s National Security Council and worked for Madeleine Albright at the State Department. I ran for Congress as a Democrat, have voted Democratic all my life, and expect to continue doing so.
But I would never vote for Abdul El-Sayed. In my judgment, he does not represent the values of our party or our nation. I urge my fellow patriotic Democrats in Michigan to leave the Senate line blank or vote for Republican Mike Rogers.
This is an exceptional case, and I do not make this recommendation lightly. We can support Democratic majorities nationally while refusing to support a candidate who violates our core values. Loyalty to our party should strengthen our principles, never require us to abandon them.

I was expecting Israel to be a little America—mostly English-speaking, a land full of convenience.
What I found was distinctly Middle Eastern—the people are brash, speak with their hands, and often don't know a lick of English. There are stray cats everywhere, mopeds, and graffiti. The street signs are in Hebrew, English, and Arabic. There is a mosque on prime beachfront property in Tel Aviv.
There is every kind of citizen imaginable. I saw Ethiopian Jews serving in the IDF. While touring an ancient Jewish site, I ran into a group of Arab schoolchildren also there to learn. I met a Mizrahi cab driver whose parents fled Morocco in the 50s.
Douglas Murray famously made Americans irate when he flamed Dave Smith on an episode of Joe Rogan for having never traveled to Israel—but he’s right. Visiting Israel shows you just how wrong the west is about the Jewish state.
Just go there.

This!
Armed guards at the door. Opioids offered on repeat. Apple Pay at my bedside. Welcome to the American Emergency Room.
The French think it bankrupts you. Americans think France does it for free. I’ve been to the ER in both. Both are wrong.
Mountain bike crash, dislocated and fractured shoulder. I’m French, I live in San Francisco, and I take slightly too many risks. Let’s compare.
Security
🇺🇸 Kaiser in Marin. Three armed guards and a metal detector. My phone set it off, so with my shoulder out of its socket I walked through again. And again. Then a pat-down.
🇫🇷 A couple of unarmed guys with walkie-talkies. Still not sure what they’re for.
Wait
🇺🇸 Three people in the waiting room. Seen in 15 to 30 minutes.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: packed room, 4 hours before anyone touched me.
Records
🇺🇸 Kaiser is vertically integrated. Insurer, hospital, doctors: one system. They had my file before I sat down.
🇫🇷 Every new doctor is a fresh context window. Zero history, maybe a printout from last time.
Infrastructure
🇺🇸 Small hospital, serious kit. Straight to the trauma bay: real bed, IV, vitals monitoring, ready for surgery if needed. All imaging on the spot.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: a plastic chair and a Doliprane.
Drugs
🇺🇸 Strong opioids were the default offer. I said no. They insisted. The doctor came in personally, confused why someone in that much pain would refuse. I stuck to Tylenol, an anti-inflammatory, to put the shoulder back in.
Yes, it hurt. No, I didn’t tap out. My mom is proud of me.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: Doliprane, opioids never mentioned. I have friends who got their shoulder popped back in with nothing at all.
US default: opioids. French default: Doliprane.
Bill
🇺🇸 Every nurse warned me: “You’re French, this bill is going to traumatize you.”
Before discharge, someone came to my bed to collect payment. Apple Pay, from the hospital bed. $300. For everything. On a ~$500/month Kaiser plan.
🇫🇷 A flat ~€20 ER fee, usually reimbursed by your mutuelle. The real bill shows up later, on your payslip (see below)
followup
🇺🇸 Kaiser called me right after to set up follow-up and physio, all in their system. So far, so good.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: discharged, figure it out yourself. A friend dislocated her finger. They put it back in wrong, sent her home with bad instructions, it locked up, and she needed surgery months later. Still not fixed.
“Free healthcare” in France
It’s not free when your marginal tax rate nears 70% with social charges. And if you want quality care fast, more and more people pay for private clinics anyway.
Verdict
One person, one data point. But the care was 10x better than anything I’ve had in France, for a price that’s completely fine.
France has a lot to learn.
And yes, I refused the narcotics to stay sharp enough to launch a NanoCorp from my hospital bed. Launch your first company run by an AI agent: nanocorp .so

People who refuse to vote Republican because Republicans hurt their feelings remind me of kids who won’t eat healthy food because candy tastes better 😂
Nothing in this world is perfect. Only God is perfect, because He’s not OF this world. 🙏 Everything else has its good and bad.
You can eat junk now and suffer later, or eat healthy now and feel better later. So why not train your taste buds to enjoy what’s good for you? Don’t let a few tiny taste buds decide what your whole body needs! 🇺🇸
And look at this picture lol! I forgot my Transitions glasses at home, so I put my sunglasses right over my regular glasses 🤓😎 Was it perfect? Nope! But I could still see AND keep the sun out of my eyes, so it was the best choice I had at the time 😂
Sometimes voting is like that too! You don’t need a perfect option to choose the best one available 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

wild ruling out of Seattle that @PHLCouncil needs to read. a builder put $39M into 254 low-income apartments locked at 60% AMI for 30 years. from 2015 to 2018 it worked, collecting ~94% of rent.
then Seattle stacked on "tenant protections": banned criminal background checks, banned winter evictions, required 180 days notice for rent hikes + 3 months relocation pay, and forced the owner to let unscreened roommates move in and take over leases.
result: rent collections dropped from 93.9% to 44.1%!!! the building lost nearly $6M through 2023 ($2.7M in 2023 alone) and is now appraised as functionally worthless. the city bankrupted actual affordable housing lol.
the appeals court just ruled the owner can sue Seattle for an unconstitutional taking. when you strip a landlord's right to screen, collect rent or remove non-paying tenants, it's not "regulation" anymore, you took the building…. Philly has half these laws already 🙄 courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/8…

A grown man just yelled out of his truck window at me, “F*** you, you bigoted b****! I’m glad Charlie died!” while flipping me off.
All because I was wearing a freedom shirt.
Imagine being so triggered by someone simply because of what they’re wearing.
Get out and vote red because the other side hates you! ❤️🇺🇸

The Top 10% of earners are why you have a job, a house to live in, a car to drive, a supercomputer in your pocket and every other service and product you enjoy.
The bottom 10% are why you have locks on your doors and taxes are so high.
That’s reality.

HILARIOUS MUST WATCH NEW ABDUL AD: This is the ad Abdul El-Sayed Al-Jihadi & his Jew-hating supporters really meant to run. It's not what you think. Well done. @AbdulElSayed
