🚨 Did you know that Google's political bias flipped the 2020 presidential election, the 2022 governor and senate race in Arizona and Georgia, and the Senate majority from Republican to Democrat?
@DrREpstein captures, archives, and analyzes Google search results 24/7 through the computers of a politically balanced group of 15,000 registered voters across all 50 states.
His team archives election-related searches and tracks how Google and YouTube's search results, suggestions, and recommendations consistently favor Democrats.
@DrREpstein explains, "When we factor Google out in 2020, Trump would have won 11 of the 13 swing states and easily won in the electoral college. Moreover, we calculated that Google shifted at least 6 million votes to Joe Biden, whom I supported btw, although I regret that... If you factor Google out of that election, the popular vote itself would have been virtually tied."
In the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election and the 2021 Senate runoff elections in Georgia, his team found that 93% of election-related videos suggested by YouTube had a strong liberal bias.
Moreover, in 2019, former Google engineer Zach Vorhies (@Perpetualmaniac) leaked 950 pages of internal documents, exposing how Google uses blacklists and algorithms to censor conservative and pro-Trump content.
Google had blacklisted hundreds of conservative websites on Android devices, preventing them from appearing in search results, including Daily Caller, Western Journal, RedState, Gateway Pundit, Steven Crowder, and Glenn Beck.
This is why @elonmusk's purchase of X, his commitment to open-sourcing the algorithm, and his efforts to create a politically neutral platform are seen as such a threat to the political establishment.
A handful of Silicon Valley tech companies have been manipulating millions of undecided American voters to vote for Democrats over the last decade, shifting the country to the left, and they don't want that influence to end.

Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops

🇺🇸 Blue Owl Capital just disclosed that investors tried to pull 40.7% of one fund and 21.9% of another in a single quarter, and both funds gave the same answer, you can only have 5% back, and everyone else waits in line.
This is a bank run, not a normal withdrawal.
Wall Street spent the last decade selling millions of investors on something called semi-liquid private credit, higher yields, steady income and the promise you could get your money back every quarter if you needed it. What they buried in the fine print was what happens when too many people try to leave at the same time.
Analysts who have covered private credit for decades say nothing on this scale has ever been reported before at any major private credit manager.
These funds do not hold stocks you can sell on a Tuesday afternoon, they hold private loans to mid sized companies that cannot be liquidated quickly without destroying the price for every investor still trapped inside.

🇺🇸 President Trump wants to switch to war economy in 2027 with massive increase in military spending and massive cuts to healthcare and other domestic agencies
Once a deficit hawk — he said in 2016 that he thought he could balance the budget in five years — Trump ended his first term with $7.8 trillion in added debt. His 2027 proposal is expected to give an update on 10-year deficit projections currently estimated at around $16 trillion.
The GOP's message for the Midterms will be focused on the "need" for a massive defense build up while the Democrats' message will be focused on affordability.
The fiscal 2027 budget will be the first time Trump puts his second-term governing agenda into one comprehensive document — with the numbers to back it up. The budget he released last year lacked detailed line-by-line spending targets and the economic assumptions necessary to project the long-term cost of his proposals.
Investors in US Treasuries will be looking to see if the debt and ...
