My heart breaks for all the parents and grandparents of those killed by illegal aliens. Every single one of these deaths was preventable and should have been stopped by the government whose primary responsibility is the protection of its citizens. We will not forget these deaths, and we will redouble our efforts to ensure that our children and grandchildren are not in danger from those illegally in the United States.

While driving from Lamu, I was stopped by KDF officers who demanded to see my ID. I told them I don’t have it because I usually don’t carry it for fear of losing it. They told me it’s illegal not to be in possession of my ID. I told them to show me the law that says so. Obvious they couldn’t because there’s no such law.

My Thoughts on Voter ID. I'm for it if we can even the playing field and cover the costs. Disenfranchisement is a problem. And no I'm not just talking about race. Elderly people, and low income people have more trouble obtaining necessary documents. 30 million people in the U.S. lack photo ID issued by local authorities, potentially depriving approximately 11% of the population of their right to vote under strict laws unless they can afford to obtain the necessary ID. And yes this means less black people vote: Approximately 24% of African-American voters of voting age lack necessary government-issued ID, compared to 8% of white voters, leading to unequal impacts on voting rights. Their race doesn't make them, not want an ID, but their economic status and area they live in (extra long lines, and inconvenient locations) make it more difficult to obtain. Solution: Make ID cards National and Free. If You can't get to a place to obtain a card, they will come to you. If you can't afford to obtain the appropriate documentation, they will help you. (This will be expensive, especially considering the fact that many people move often and their personal details change.). Is Voter ID Needed? Probably Not: The vast majority of voter ID laws in the United States target only voter impersonation, of which there are only 31 documented cases in the United States from the 2000–2014 period. All thing's equal that would equate to 210 cases in every 100 years, or 8 cases every presidential election. My Conclusion: The costs to make Voter ID Fair outweigh the minimal benefit based on historical data. But sure, if the government wants to raise the corporate tax rate a bit to pay for it, let's do it.

The processing of working holiday visas from the UK, Ireland, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and others have been drastically slowed as the government tries to juke the stats and bring down the NOM. Tony Burke, no one has an issue with au pairs and backpackers from western countries who work and travel around regional Australia. People are concerned with mass migration from the third world into ethic enclaves in our major cities.

🚨 JUST IN: Now that we have 50 Senate votes for the SAVE America Act, Vice President JD VANCE can swoop in and break the tie, enshrining voter ID and citizenship into our laws ALL we need to do is have Sen. John Thune force Dems to a standing filibuster — and OUTLAST them for hours Make them debate against the 85-15 issue of voter ID on the Senate floor. Make the mainstream media cover it. Flood the airwaves: Democrats OPPOSE VOTER ID. The political pain will grow so much, Democrats will lose, and we can pass with 50 votes + JD! Thank you Susan Collins for joining as the 50th 🇺🇸

This is for the youth of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee is saying that IPAC employees will join TMC and they will get jobs. Just think about it, how can Mamata Banerjee give them jobs directly? Is this not corruption? Mamata and her ministers have a history of selling jobs and giving them to their own party members and family. Mamata’s own niece was removed from her job by the Calcutta High Court. She has no shame in saying that she will give jobs to IPAC employees.

Despite recent images circulating on social media around the work of French law enforcement to prevent small boat crossings, they do not represent the full picture. Over 46,000 small boat Channel crossing attempts have been prevented since July 2024. The UK Government is bearing down on small boat crossings, with removals of small boat migrants at record levels and asylum claims down by 12%. The Home Secretary has signed a landmark new payment by results deal with France to boost enforcement action on beaches and put people smugglers behind bars. And almost 70,000 people who were here illegally have been removed or deported – an increase of 41% – and we are going further to remove the incentives that draw illegal migrants to this country.

Illegal Bangladeshi Nationals Nabbed in Bengaluru’s Electronic City Bengaluru In a swift operation, Electronic City division Police of #Bengaluru arrested two #Bangladeshi nationals who had illegally entered India and were living under forged identities. The accused, Zahidul Islam (35) and Firdous (32), were picked up during a raid at a scrap yard near Hulimangala. Acting on specific intelligence, police found the duo hiding at the site where they worked by day and collected rags and plastic bottles at night. Investigations revealed that the men had crossed into India illegally nearly two years ago. To conceal their identities, they obtained fake Aadhaar cards, forged passports, and other fabricated local documents. When questioned by locals, they claimed to be migrants from #Kolkata, #WestBengal, using their linguistic similarities to blend in. Police sources said the arrests have opened up a wider probe into the network that facilitated the procurement of fraudulent Indian documents. Officials suspect that more illegal migrants may be residing in the locality under similar disguises. CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice DCP Electronic City

Oh pleeeeease 🤡 … Labour complely ignoring the majority, the tax burden and the benefits burden has announced an INCREASE in asylum seekers in partnership with the UN, its NGOs and charities. But be clear! by allowing safe routes for women and children the Labour government WONT stop the boats! Because women and children hardly ever arrive on them!! They have simply increased asylum claims and given men even more reason to attempt to get here illegally. You do see that right?

I swear to you that ISIS will reach France and Germany within just two years. Instead of helping us stop the genocide we are subjected to today, you are helping ISIS. Nothing new from you; you are traitors, like Arabs. The Kurds fought ISIS for 14 years, and every year there were around 1,000 Kurdish martyrs that is 14,000 martyrs. Continue supporting terrorism, and it will reach Emmanuel Macron Macron’s own home. We do not need your help; we have our dignity and we are not traitors like you. Damn you all. Go to hell. #DefendRojava

The City’s Bad Buildings Committee has returned to Pretoria Industrial for an illegal electricity disconnection operation. We've arrested an individual who was allegedly posing as a City of Tshwane contractor and was connecting electricity illegally in the area. A fake City of a Tshwane logo was found on their vehicle. We have also impounded the vehicle. Illegal connections endanger lives, damage infrastructure, and undermine service delivery. The City will not be deterred from enforcing the law and protecting critical infrastructure. City of Tshwane

vPay offshore accounts and physical cards have been getting field-tested IRL for a while now, and we’ll open them to the public as soon as we’re fully confident in the UX. But before offshore accounts go public, I want to address a few points: Some might point out that - vPay isn’t the first crypto card - vPay doesn’t have the lowest fees - So why choose vPay instead of the Coinbase 🛡️ Card or MetaMask 🦊 Card or KAST or or Tria, or any of the other big names? Now to address: Privacy | The biggest differentiator that sets vPay completely apart is Private Banking. The majority of the crypto card providers on the market use Rain infra. Even if you’ve never heard of them, that's what your favorite "NeoBank" uses. And due to their legal jurisdictions, they will report your finances to authorities since they're CRS and FACTA compliant. We are not. As an OmniBank, we work with different banking partners, and although KYC is required to use our services, our offshore banks are non-CRS and non-FACTA. Tax reporting is the responsibility and choice of the user. Offshore Accounts vs Physical Cards | I've tried to highlight this a few times so far. vPay has 3 offerings on the banking side of things. Virtual cards - live now. Physical cards - coming Q1 2026. The first two are similar to what everyone else on the market offers. The offshore accounts are not. which are coming this week. They allow unlimited spending, ATM withdrawals, and international SWIFT transfers, which very few “Neobanks” provide. Offshore accounts are coming this week. Self-Custody | We're not 100% non-custodial yet, as that is near impossible at the moment but it's something we're working towards. And we try to keep the users' self-custodial wallets in the loop as much as possible for maximum control. Those who have tried the vPay app know that almost every move asks for permission from their wallet, and we always encourage users to keep their funds in their non-custodial wallets until the very last moment, since our top-ups usually only take seconds to a minute to process. Fees | All of the card providers mentioned above either raised millions from VCs or in presales or have a huge org backing them. We have neither. vPay was self-funded and community-owned since day 1, launched under Virtuals Protocol Genesis V1 launch model, an objectively bad launch model and hugely unfavorable toward project teams. So even though vPay has been generating revenue and profitable from early on, we do not have the luxury of offering 0% fees yet, since they're mostly a marketing gimmick paid for by millions in VC money and not a sustainable business model for early-stage companies. What we're working towards instead, is true co-ownership of vPay and revenue-share with users. OmniBank vs NeoBank | I’m not a fan of the term “NeoBank.” It implies just a bank, but make it crypto. That’s not vPay. Our goals have always been clear: A) Anything and everything users need to do with their money and assets, both Web2 and Web3, all in one hub. Powered by a constellation of partner agents. The cards and the bank accounts are just the foundation. B) To eventually build independent financial rails for crypto and decouple from the chokehold of Visa/Mastercard. vLink is the first step toward this vision. This turned out to be a rather long tweet, but context matters. Questions and feedback welcome in replies or DMs. See you all with your vPay vCards very soon.

This afternoon, we conducted a bylaw enforcement operation in Pretoria West targeting illegally constructed buildings owned by George Asaba, a Nigerian national. The properties are non-compliant and were built without approval, with illegal connections to both water and electricity. Officials found that cement had been poured over illegal cabling to prevent its removal, and the city's electrical power box had been removed from outside and placed inside the yard. Approximately 40 student accommodation rooms were also found to be under construction on the site. The city will not take these violations lightly and will take decisive action against both the owner and the properties. City of Tshwane

Nigel Farage claim: "Large scale migration into Britain where 50% of those who come will never work and live off the British state will make this country substantially poorer" Reality: According to Department for Work and Pensions and Home Office statistics (up to 2023), the majority of migrants of working age are employed, with employment rates for non-UK nationals often comparable to or higher than UK nationals (e.g., 75-80% for EU migrants vs. 76% for UK-born workers in 2022) The claim hinges on 50% of migrants being permanently unemployed and reliant on benefits. Evidence suggests this is unlikely For instance, a 2014 UCL study found that non-EEA migrants contributed more in taxes than they consumed in public services, while EEA migrants had an even stronger positive fiscal impact Migrants are often ineligible for many benefits (e.g., Universal Credit or public housing) until they meet residency or employment criteria, reducing the likelihood of mass dependency The UK faces an aging population, with a dependency ratio (non-working to working-age population) projected to rise. Migrants, who are often younger and of working age, can help balance this by contributing to the workforce and tax base The OBR (2023) projects that net migration of 200,000-300,000 annually helps sustain pension and healthcare systems The UK’s points-based immigration system (introduced post-Brexit) prioritizes skilled workers, reducing the likelihood of large-scale, non-working migration If 50% of migrants never work and rely on the state, it could indeed strain public finances and potentially make Britain poorer, especially in the short term, by increasing welfare costs and pressure on services However, this scenario is not supported by current evidence, as most migrants contribute economically through work and taxes. The overall impact depends on migration scale, composition (skilled vs. unskilled), and integration policies Historically, migration has been a net positive for the UK economy when managed effectively

I’ve spent the last few days in four countries across the Middle East visiting British Forces on live operations. Our Armed Forces personnel there are working with our allies and partners on the rapidly evolving situation. That’s why I wasn’t in Westminster for yesterday’s vote on the Northern Ireland Legacy Bill. I understand why people feel strongly about this. But the crisis in the Middle East is already affecting us all and it’s ongoing. I served for 24 years. I know what it means to be asked to put your life on the line for this country, and I know what we owe the people who do. For those who served in Northern Ireland, and for their families, this is not an abstract issue. It is about truth, justice, and how we treat those who put themselves on the line for our country. My focus is clear: to make sure the process does not become the punishment, to recognise the difference in law and in fact between those who served the state under orders and those who set out to harm it, and to support veterans and their families in getting as close as possible to truth, reconciliation and justice. I will continue working with colleagues across Government, in private as much as in public, to make sure we get this right. To everyone who served in Northern Ireland, and to the wider veteran community: that commitment does not change. To those that seek to divide the veteran community, question commitment, motivations, honour or question intent, that is your right to do so. And, to those that continue to engage and seek change for justice, let’s keep doing so. We will get there.
