“Free speech is the bedrock of democracy. If people don’t know what’s going on, if they don’t know the truth, how can you make an informed vote?”

Business mogul Elon Musk declared during Saturday’s Trump rally  that he believes the upcoming U.S. presidential election is “the most important” we will live to see.

“I think this election is the most important election of our lifetime. This is no ordinary election,” said Musk, while alongside Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the same location where the president nearly lost his life just three months ago.

The X owner praised Trump’s courage amid the assassination attempt, considering it a defining moment. “The true test of someone’s character is how they behave under fire,” said Musk.

“America is the home of the brave,” he continued. “There’s no truer test than courage under fire. Who do you want representing America?”

Musk went on to highlight what he believes are some of the most important issues at stake in this coming election.

“The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. They want to take away your right to vote effectively,” he said, pointing out that 14 states now do not require voters to show ID.

“Free speech is the bedrock of democracy. If people don’t know what’s going on, if they don’t know the truth, how can you make an informed vote?” he continued.

“That’s why we have the First Amendment,” Musk said, adding that the Second Amendment helps to preserve the rights listed in the First, to cheers from the crowd.

“President Trump must win to preserve the constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America,” Musk declared.

“If they don’t, this will be the last election. That’s my prediction,” warned Musk. “Nothing is more important.”

During Saturday’s rally, the former president highlighted the goals of his hopeful next administration, including sealing the border, deporting illegal immigrants, making the U.S. energy independent, lowering inflation, and cutting taxes so that Americans can again afford the basics of living.

“No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. And no tax on social security for our great seniors. Inflation has killed our seniors…it’s just horrible,” said Trump.

He further pledged to “keep critical race theory and gender insanity out of our schools,” as well as “defend religious liberty,” “secure our elections,” and “keep men out of women’s sports.”

“From the very beginning of this journey, I’ve been on a mission to rescue our country from a failed and very corrupt political establishment,” said Trump.

“In that mission I will never quit, I will never bend, I will never break, I will never yield, not even in the face of death itself.”

Germany launches first permanent foreign troop deployment since WW2

Published on

MXM logo  MxM News

Quick Hit:

Germany activated a 5,000-strong armored brigade in Lithuania — marking its first permanent foreign military deployment since World War II. The move strengthens NATO’s eastern flank amid Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russia.

Key Details:

  • The 45th Armored Brigade was formally launched outside Vilnius on Tuesday.
  • Germany plans for the brigade to be fully operational by 2027 in Rūdninkai, near the Belarus border.
  • The deployment marks a major policy shift for Berlin and a boost for NATO’s deterrence posture.

Diving Deeper:

Germany has officially entered a new era of military engagement, launching its first permanent foreign troop deployment since the end of World War II. The move, announced Tuesday, sees the activation of a 5,000-strong armored brigade in Lithuania as part of a broader NATO strategy to counter the perceived threat from Russia.

The newly formed 45th Armored Brigade was ceremonially inaugurated outside the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius. German Brigadier General Christoph Huber assumed command, overseeing the establishment of a temporary headquarters and unveiling the unit’s crest. “We have a clear mission: to ensure the protection, freedom and security of our Lithuanian allies on NATO’s eastern flank,” Huber said, adding that the unit’s presence also directly contributes to the defense of Germany and NATO as a whole.

The deployment follows a pledge made by Berlin in 2023 — a decision that broke with decades of postwar defense policy rooted in military restraint. German officials had long avoided permanently stationing combat troops abroad. That posture has changed in response to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, which has turned the Baltic region into one of NATO’s most vulnerable frontlines.

Germany’s commitment includes more than just fighting forces. The brigade will also feature key support elements, such as a medical center, communications specialists, and command support units dispersed across multiple Lithuanian locations. Troops will initially operate out of temporary facilities, with a permanent base under construction in Rūdninkai, located roughly 30 kilometers south of Vilnius.

Currently, 150 German soldiers are already on the ground in Lithuania. That figure is expected to rise to 500 by the end of the year as the new brigade scales up operations.

China announces “improvements” to social credit system

Published on

Quick Hit:

Beijing released new guidelines Monday to revamp its social credit system, promising stronger information controls while deepening the system’s reach across China’s economy and society. Critics say the move reinforces the Communist Party’s grip under the banner of “market efficiency.”

Key Details:

  • The guideline was issued by top Chinese government and Communist Party offices, listing 23 measures to expand and standardize the social credit system.
  • It aims to integrate the credit system across all sectors of China’s economy to support what Beijing calls “high-quality development.”
  • Officials claim the new framework will respect information security and individual rights—despite growing global concerns over surveillance and state overreach.

Diving Deeper:

China is doubling down on its social credit system with a newly issued guideline meant to “improve” and expand the controversial surveillance-driven program. Released by both the Communist Party’s Central Committee and the State Council, the document outlines 23 specific measures aimed at building a unified national credit system that will touch nearly every corner of Chinese society.

Framed as a tool for “high-quality development,” the guideline declares that credit assessments will increasingly shape the rules of engagement for businesses, government agencies, and individual citizens. The system, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), has already played a role in shaping China’s financial services, government efficiency, and business environment.

Critics of the social credit system have long warned that it serves as an instrument of authoritarian control—monitoring citizens’ behavior, punishing dissent, and rewarding obedience to the Communist Party. By integrating credit data across all sectors and enforcing a “shared benefits” model, the new guideline appears to entrench, not ease, the Party’s involvement in everyday life.

Still, Beijing is attempting to temper foreign and domestic concerns over privacy. The NDRC emphasized that the system is being built on the “fundamental principle” of protecting personal data. Officials pledged to avoid excessive data collection and crack down on any unlawful use of information.
