Trump SAVAGES the UN for its failures in barnstorming speech

President Donald Trump slammed the UN after a series of failures as soon as he walked in the building. Trump was at the UN to deliver a major foreign policy address but the escalator broke as soon as he and First Lady Melania stepped on it.

The teleprompter broke as Trump began speaking where he switched over to his notes:

"Whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble."

"These are the two things I got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter."

Trump then issued a broadside of criticisms at the United Nations over immigration:

"The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders... The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them, and not finance them."

Trump bluntly criticized the Green movement:

"Climate change— it's the greatest con-job ever perpetrated on the world."

He highlighted Germany in particular:

"Germany was being led down a very sick path, both on immigration by the way and on energy. They were going green, and they were going bankrupt."

The $1Trillion Mineral Push Just Made This Battery Company Unstoppable

Right now, almost every battery in America runs on lithium.

Your phone. Your laptop. Your car. Even the power grids storing clean energy.

But here’s the catch: China controls over 80% of the world’s lithium.⁹

That means America’s future is tied to a supply chain we don’t control. If China slows exports or raises prices…we’re stuck.

Washington knows this can’t continue. That’s why the White House just launched a $1 trillion push to bring mineral production back home.^{9 10}

The goal: secure America’s energy independence and cut China out of the equation.¹

This shift opens the door for a new winner.

Because while everyone else fights over lithium, one overlooked solution is ready right now… sodium-ion batteries.¹

Here’s why they’re a game changer:

• Sodium is 1,400x more abundant than lithium, with significant reserves located in the U.S⁹

• Batteries can be made at a fraction of the cost of lithium — up to 90% less expensive in the first year of use.⁶

• They last longer⁸, are safer⁷, and can be built at scale using domestic materials.^{1 9}

And one company has already cracked the code: Next Thing Technologies.

Their batteries scale from massive grid storage projects to affordable $100/month home backup systems.^{1 9}

That means they can power everything from America’s infrastructure to your neighborhood.¹

The timing couldn’t be better.

Billions in federal funding are flowing into U.S. mineral projects. Manufacturing is coming back home. And America is determined to break free from China’s supply chains.¹

Next Thing Technologies is positioned to be the backbone of this new energy era.¹

Iryna Zarutska's memorial draws hundreds as Democrats fail to stall crime bill reforms

Hundreds gathered Monday night in Charlotte's South End for a candlelight vigil honoring Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, fatally stabbed near a light rail station, as mourners sang, prayed and demanded city action to prevent future tragedies.

• Vigil's poignant silence honors: The two-minute pause symbolized delay in aid after Zarutska's stabbing, drawing tears from diverse crowd of strangers and locals.

• Emotional tributes echo grief: Speakers like Addul Ali saw his daughter in Zarutska's face, while Bart Noonan decried a "city falling apart" in raw calls for reform.

• Global resonance unites mourners: Rev. Vasily Rudnitsky hailed her death touching "Ukraine and the whole world," inspiring prayers and songs in solidarity.

  

• Community pushes memorial change: Attendees urge renaming light rail station after Zarutska, tying to looming city council vote on post-stabbing police enforcement.

“Iryna’s Law” passed by NC State Senate as Dems try to block passage

Republican North Carolina state senators swiftly passed "Iryna's Law" Monday, reviving the death penalty with strict appeal timelines and pretrial monitoring in response to last month's random fatal stabbing of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska aboard a Charlotte light rail.

• Reviving Death Penalty Swiftly: The Senate bill imposes two-year appeal limits and mandates executions by 2027, aiming to end decades of judicial delays burdening taxpayers and eroding public trust in justice.

• Targeted Violent Offense Reforms: A new category for serious crimes requires GPS tracking and cashless bail elimination, specifically aggravating penalties for attacks on public transit to deter random violence.

• Mental Health Mandates Enforced: Suspects with long criminal histories face compulsory evaluations before pretrial release, addressing gaps exposed by the attacker's documented issues in Zarutska's case.

• Democrats attempt to stall: Democratic senators attempted to stall the passage of the bill by refusing to vote on it.

Google makes MAJOR U-turn, will reinstate accounts it banned over Covid and election content

Google announced Tuesday it will reinstate YouTube accounts banned for COVID-19 and election speech, admitting in a House Judiciary Committee document that Biden administration pressure led to unwarranted censorship of non-violative content.

• Biden Pressure Exposed: Senior White House officials repeatedly urged Alphabet to remove pandemic-related videos that broke no rules, fostering a chilling political atmosphere on misinformation.

• Key Creators Targeted: High-profile conservatives like Dan Bongino (banned in 2022 over mask claims), Sebastian Gorka, and Steve Bannon are now eligible for platform return after thriving on alternatives like Rumble.

• Policy Pivot Embraced: With now defunct COVID and election rules scrapped; YouTube hails conservative voices as vital to civic debate in its free-expression commitment.

• Investigations Yield Change: Years of GOP probes into Big Tech have yielded similar reversals from Meta on Facebook and Instagram.

Mamdani throw "Little Communist" tantrum over Kimmel suspension, it backfires spectacularly

New York City mayoral front-runner Socialist Zohran Mamdani abruptly withdrew Monday from a WABC-TV town hall, protesting ABC's suspension of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" who goes back on air Tuesday night.

• Kimmel's MAGA Critique Ignites Fury: Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel drew ire by tying conservative activist Charlie Kirk's alleged killer to the MAGA movement, prompting ABC parent Disney to yank his show.

• Hollywood Icons Rally for Free Speech: Oscar winners Robert DeNiro, Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep and Frances McDormand joined an ACLU-led letter condemning the suspension as a "dark moment" for First Amendment rights and journalists' livelihoods.

• Disney Recants: It emerged later that the suspension was a decision by Disney not the FCC because of Kimmel’s refusal to apologize and the show is slated to be broadcast again Tuesday leaving Mamdani in a bind.

• Rivals Slam Mamdani's Protest Move: Andrew Cuomo's campaign called the walkout a dodge from local scrutiny, while the White House mocked Mamdani as a "Little Communist" too scared for live TV defense of his socialist policies.

McDonalds fires the first shot in the Breakfast Wars

McDonald's reignited its $5 Extra Value Meals for the first time since 2019, bundling breakfast, lunch and dinner options with 15% savings to lure inflation-weary diners, sparking rival chains like IHOP and Burger King to unleash competing discount barrages nationwide this month.

• Value Meals Resurrected Boldly: McDonald's revived eight bundled options across dayparts, slashing costs 15% versus à la carte buys to counter stagnant traffic amid rising wages and supply woes.

• IHOP Counters Swiftly: IHOP debuted a daily $6 breakfast menu with four full meals plus sides, available 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at U.S. spots, prioritizing "abundance without compromise" per exec Lawrence Kim.

• Jack in the Box Upsizes: Starting October 1, larger 25% bigger drink cups and price cuts drop over 60% of combos under $10, reviving Monster Tacos at two-for-$3 to boost affordability.

• Industry Experts Foresee Escalation: TD Bank's Mark Wasilefsky hails it a "power move" driving breakfast discounts, warning rivals must match to shift long-term habits in a low-sentiment economy.
