After U.S. forces turned China’s most advanced anti-stealth radar—the JY-27A—into little more than lawn art, Xi reportedly ordered the execution of its chief designer, Yang Wei. Engineering with Chinese characteristics…
Reportedly, Yang was probed after 🇨🇳’s JY-series anti-stealth radars sold to 🇻🇪 & 🇮🇷 proved ineffective. 🇨🇳 had used the J-20 as a test target & falsely told Xi the radars could detect 🇺🇸 F-35 & F-22 stealth jets. This raised doubts about the J-20’s claimed stealth capabilities.

Xi has banned anything and everything associated with Winnie the Pooh in China…ever since his walk with Obama. These protesters deserve an A+ for their ingenuity! We should never welcome the dictator of our sworn enemy with the red carpet we've rolled out for him. #China @globaltimesnews
JUST IN: Protesters dressed as Winnie the Pooh descend on Washington, D.C., during Xi Jinping’s state visit, waving Taiwanese flags and “End the CCP” signs.

The United States 🇺🇸 will soon hold hypersonic standoff overmatch against China with @Castelion's Blackbeard. The team at Castelion is innovating as fast as their missiles fly. Let’s GO!

This is a great example of why America 🇺🇸 wins. Remember, we spent over 40% of GDP on war in 1945. We had to. Our ability to mobilize and innovate is unmatched.
LFG. 🇺🇸 💪
Just 22 days after signing a formal contract, our partner @GMDefense has delivered the first batch of PAC-3® MSE missile-housing components.
The message is clear: we're moving at the speed of relevance. The future of defense is being written now, and we're setting a new standard for speed and agility in the industry.

Raising rates into an energy supply shock (crude oil, diesel, LNG) is a terrible idea for Warsh’s Fed.
Additionally, the “data” slice of the PCE measurement is a ~1% core-PCE software/hosting weight that, for a few months in early 2026, contributed on the order of 60–70 bps annualized to core PCE because measured prices exploded by +73% (annualized). @federalreserve @SecScottBessent

Every open-weight model we release is a gift to the Chinese military. Stop the giveaways. Accelerate. This is a race, and the fastest path to winning is the only path. No more politicking. 🇺🇸 @WhiteHouse @SecScottBessent

Join me and @CNBCEvents at the AI Forum in Dallas on October 1 to discuss the booming AI market…and how industries are building AI into the core of their operations.
We’ll also cover how AI is being integrated into every layer of U.S. defense: war planning, wargaming, and the broader national-security stack. Let’s talk about why Anthropic is at odds with the Department of War…

American 🇺🇸 HERO. We will never forget him.
I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

As we commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we remember the heroic men and women who tracked down and executed Osama bin Laden. Below is the flag carried in the rucksack of one of the SEAL Team 6 shooters during the raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan. 🇺🇸 💪

‼️ What’s not well understood is that the Houthis have created a 5-alarm fire by being within touching distance of taking over the Bab al Mandeb strait and choking off the Red Sea. Crude oil is a coiled spring if this happens. @AlMajlisGroup @CruickshankPaul @AimenDean @dbelhoul

Canada 🇨🇦 is a longtime ally. It needs to put identity politics aside and focus on the greatest threat the West has ever faced: China.
Canada has nearly a third more people than Texas…and a GDP about 20% smaller. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Iran 🇮🇷 has lost its navy, air force, and air defenses, at least two layers of “leadership,” the value of its currency, and now has a GDP per capita below that of some sub-Saharan African nations.
We are now in Operation Terror Squeeze…cutting off oil revenue and paralyzing the regime. Let’s see what the IRGC does when it can’t pay its troops.
The remaining IRGC terrorists should keep their prayer mats close.

BREAKING: Iranian rial crashes to a record low, with one U.S. dollar now worth more than 2.2 million rials.

Iran’s one real lifeline is oil: 90%+ of its crude (~1.4MM bpd) goes to China, paid in RMB…then Iran routes through the UAE 🇦🇪 to convert it into real dollars. We just cut off that conversion. The blood flow to the tumor is being severed. @SecScottBessent has them pinned. 🇺🇸
🚨 An Iranian police officer says the economic situation has become unbearable even for the security forces the Islamic Republic depends on to keep itself in power.
In an extraordinary appeal, the officer says many Iranians assume police and security personnel live comfortably or have other sources of income. He says the reality is very different, with officers themselves increasingly struggling to survive financially.
He says he has been unable to afford milk for his own household for a long time and describes the same desperation among his colleagues.
“Who can I tell my pain to? I look at my colleagues and they are all like me.”
But his criticism goes beyond his salary. He pleads with authorities to address the suffering of ordinary Iranians, says those currently in charge are incapable of solving people’s problems and that there are better people who could govern, and even describes those responsible as godless while urging them to “return to God.”
This is particularly significant coming from inside the police. The Islamic Republic depends on its security apparatus to contain unrest, enforce its authority and ultimately protect the political system.
When ordinary Iranians cannot afford basic necessities, the Islamic Republic has a social crisis. When the police officers expected to contain that anger say they cannot afford them either, it has a security problem too.

Direct quotes.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just went RUTHLESS MODE at G20
"There was a branch of an Egyptian bank in Dubai that had funneled more than $1.8 billion to the regime, and we used a Patriot Act authority that we had not used before, and we are SHUTTING THEM DOWN." 🔥
"We know who you are, YOU know who you are, and we are probably going to announce a bank sanction THIS WEEK, and we are announcing one the week AFTER."
"We are going to economically asphyxiate this regime."
"We are speaking to our allies here who have all come forward, and we have had a great show of support, whether it's from the EU, the ECB, the UK, the UAE, the Bahrainians."
"So we have seen great support around the world, and we have ZERO tolerance."
"The reason the MOU did not work, they were not ready for a deal."
"My job is to make sure that they want to have a deal, and they WILL want to have one!"
Don't test him!

Remember: the EU’s economy was larger than the US’s in 2011. Thanks to its self-defeating ‘green’ and GDPR policies (and U.S. tech dominance) the US economy is now 44% larger than Europe’s. Europe needs to wake up. 🇺🇸 🇪🇺
