Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 4 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 218 interactions against 269K followers, an engagement rate of 0.081%. Posts are seen about 7.0K times each, and 3.13% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.59% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.9 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 4 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 25% are part of a thread and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 103K interactions, about 472x its own typical post. Only 4 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 23:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 25% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 25% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 1266 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

10 years ago Pizzagate was by far the number one trending topic on twitter, but the claim of pedophile elites who preyed on children was so insane that Pizzagate was shrugged off as was a wild, fever dream, of a conspiracy theory. But then, just days ago… the largest dump of Epstein files revealed what some of us had been telling you for a decade, that Pizzagate is real. Not that there is a pizza parlor at the center of a child trafficking ring. But child trafficking rings run by some of the most powerful people in the world do exist. Tonight , I want to remind you of what I told you then and compare that to what we have now learned.

NSA WHISTLEBLOWER SOUNDS THE ALARM ON META’S REAL-TIME SPY AI GLASSES Two Harvard students built “I-XRAY,” a project that pairs Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses with AI to scan faces in real time, search Facebook and Instagram for a match, and then send the wearer that person’s profile. Once it finds a profile, the system can search the open internet, including voter-registration sites, for a person’s phone number, home address, email, and family members. Flock cameras already raise alarms over surveillance. But they stay fixed in one place. Meta’s AI glasses move with the wearer, can scan inside buildings, and may leave people unaware they’re being watched. If just one-tenth of Americans wore them daily, roughly 35 million people could be scanning the public at once, collecting an unprecedented stream of personal data. The danger is not just the technology. Your information, much of it collected without your control, could become instantly accessible to strangers in real time, with no meaningful way to opt out. NSA whistleblower @Thomas_Drake1 sounds the alarm on these walking surveillance machines and the constitutional questions they raise.

A REAL OPENING FOR PEACE? U.S. AND RUSSIA RESTART TALKS AS AMERICAN PRISONER COMES HOME Russia released 74-year-old American Stephen Hubbard after more than four years in custody, during Steve Witkoff’s three-hour meeting with Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg. Witkoff praised Putin for the release. This is the kind of language that sends Washington’s neocon establishment into meltdown. The bigger development: Putin agreed in principle to restart U.S.-Russia-Ukraine peace talks after November 10. A Trump-Putin-Xi meeting was also discussed. None of the three capitals has ruled it out. Before Russia, Witkoff met Zelensky in Norway and carried proposed peace terms to Moscow. Trump’s message remains direct: Ukraine must want a settlement. He says America spent hundreds of billions and got high diesel prices in return. Vance now calls Ukraine “a partner in some ways,” not an ally. That is a major shift from 2022. Zelensky says he would accept a freeze along the current front. Moscow rejects that approach, arguing it would give Ukraine time to rearm rather than deliver lasting peace. Even Europe’s debate is shifting. AfD leader Alice Weidel is openly questioning why Russia’s security concerns were ignored as NATO expanded toward its borders. This may be the strongest opening for negotiations in months, not because anyone won, but because everyone is exhausted. Talks are starting. A lasting deal is much harder.

UKRAINE’S POPULATION COLLAPSE IS THE GLOBALIST MODEL FOR THE WEST Ukraine’s demographic crisis is deepening after years of war, emigration, and forced mobilization. As its working-age population shrinks, Zelensky’s government is looking abroad for labor, including workers from Africa to help rebuild and fill critical jobs. Across NATO countries, citizens are already dealing with mass immigration, rising living costs, weak economies, high energy prices, and growing distrust of their governments. Protests are spreading from France and Germany to the United Kingdom and beyond. Ukraine’s native population has paid the price of war. Men have been conscripted, communities emptied, and pressure is rising on the remaining population as the country struggles to sustain the fight. Meanwhile, many Western countries continue expanding foreign-born labor while citizens face fewer opportunities, higher costs, and less confidence in the future. Replacing a population rather than rebuilding it is not popular anywhere. I discuss this, and the global migration agenda with @realalexjones. https://t.co/4OXRRR0T48

FIRING SQUAD, “WARRIOR ETHOS”: WHAT IS WASHINGTON PREPARING FOR? President Trump has approved a U.S. Army firing-squad execution for Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan, who was sentenced to death after killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in the 2009 attack. It would mark the military’s first execution since 1961, and its first firing-squad execution since 1945. The decision also comes as the Pentagon embraces a more aggressive message: warfighting, lethality, deterrence, warriors, and a “warrior ethos.” The administration has even rebranded the Department of Defense as the Department of War. But while Washington celebrates the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq after more than two decades, America is not exactly coming home. Roughly 3,000 U.S. troops are stationed in Israel, with additional troops and aircraft being prepared for another possible Middle East escalation. Trump campaigned on peace through strength. But as America’s military footprint expands and Washington’s rhetoric grows more confrontational, the question is simple: Are we building deterrence, or setting the stage for another extended conflict? Tyler Nixon (@realTylerNixon) breaks it down.

U.S.–CANADA TRADE WAR: WHO REALLY PAYS THE PRICE? Canada is hitting back with dollar-for-dollar tariffs after the Trump administration imposed new 50% duties on Canadian goods. Ottawa’s response targets roughly $20 billion in American products, from steel and dairy to appliances, electronics, and agricultural equipment. As tensions rise, President Trump is responding in his own way: floating a plan to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” But behind the political theater is a serious question: who actually absorbs the cost of a tariff war? Are tariffs leverage against foreign governments, or hidden taxes that hit consumers, workers, and American companies caught in the middle? David Morgan (@silverguru22) joins me to break down how tariffs and sanctions are reshaping trade, geopolitics, and everyday prices.

NICKI MINAJ DEFENDING TRUMP FROM THE PODIUM? THE WHITE HOUSE IS TEASING IT From “Starships” to the White House briefing room? Communications Director Steven Cheung shared a video of Nicki Minaj praising Trump’s business instincts, economic knowledge, and stamina, adding: “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary!” No official appointment, just a tease. But with reports that Karoline Leavitt stepped down for family reasons and her reported replacement, Katie Zacharia, lasted less than a week, it raises a serious question: what qualifies someone to take the podium? Minaj knows how to command an audience, handle scrutiny, and defend her positions. Those skills matter. But so do policy knowledge, quick thinking, and answering tough questions without creating another controversy. A music career does not automatically prepare someone to explain national security or inflation, just as a Washington résumé does not guarantee strong communication. In an administration that prizes loyalty, confidence, and media dominance, Minaj checks several boxes. Does America want a policy expert, a fierce presidential defender, or a personality who combines both? For now, Cheung is teasing. But if the Barbz reach the briefing room, the messenger could become a bigger story than the message.
