- While Iran has not officially confirmed a plan to cut the cables, reports indicate potential risks to key infrastructure connecting Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, potentially impacting global data traffic.
- Impact: A potential disruption could result in decreased internet speeds (higher latency) for regions like West and South Asia, including India.
- Alternative Paths: While regional internet traffic might be impacted, traffic can be rerouted through other paths, making a total global internet collapse unlikely.
Now know the confusion came from CIA deception campaign.
- The X post shares a Washington Examiner headline image quoting VP JD Vance on a fraud task force uncovering 186,000 deceased individuals still receiving SNAP food assistance benefits.
- Vance made the remarks at an Iowa rally, also citing 355,000 people getting duplicate SNAP payments, attributing discoveries to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins' work.
- This fits into the Trump administration's broader anti-fraud initiatives, with Vance leading a task force focused on rooting out waste in federal programs like SNAP.
- The X post criticizes NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani for advancing a racial equity plan that highlights median wealth gaps (white households over $200k vs. Black under $20k) and commits to policies putting "equity at the center," framed by critics as a "discrimination tax" targeting higher taxes on whiter/wealthier areas to address disparities.
- Mamdani's speech in the attached video discusses stark racial inequities in NYC as the result of past policies, announces a 30-day public comment period on the Preliminary Citywide Racial Equity Plan, and directs agencies to apply a "racial equity lens" to budgets and services without explicitly detailing race-based personal taxes.
- Replies largely condemn the approach as unconstitutional racial discrimination likely to trigger lawsuits, accelerate white/business flight from NYC, and fail to deliver direct benefits to Black residents, with some noting funds may prioritize other groups instead.
I hope this is true, but I doubt they go through with it. They’re all show, no go.
- SaltyGoat17 enthusiastically shares news that Mel Gibson has wrapped filming on "The Resurrection of the Christ," the sequel to his 2004 hit "The Passion of the Christ," with Part One set for release on March 26, 2027.
- The attached image pairs a photo of Gibson with a Jesus figure and details the project's completion in Italy, sparking excitement among Christian and conservative users.
- Replies show broad anticipation for theatrical viewing, praise for its potential cultural impact, and some noting the absence of original star Jim Caviezel.
