Master thread on the 2015-2022 closure of the Internet, the process by which every major Internet platform went from broadly open with a few basic guidelines to strict narrative enforcement, often with the collaboration of govts and outsourcing moderation power to NGOs.
After the Canada declaration that US empire is over the US bond market is dead. Everyone sells US bonds. There is no future. The US will default. It’s bankrupt. It’s over.
Get out of USD denominated assets.
Get into Gold and Silver.
America is the champion of good in all of history. She is not perfect but she is far and away the greatest hegemon. To align with her is to align with human flourishing. To fight her is to align with evil.
It is deeply morally wrong to oppose the US.
2028 - Vance for Prez, Rubio for VP, De Santis for SecState, SecWar or Speaker
2032 - Rubio/De Santis, with Vance in support
2036 - De Santis/Vance, with Rubio in support
2040 - Repeat
We liberated Europe in WW2, then went on to rebuild it with the Marshall Plan. Subsequently, we defended it from the Soviets then the Russians. Europe repaid us with resentment. Time to let them stand on their own.
The 2020 Census was done wrong. States like California are overrepresented as the census did not fully account for their population loss (nor should illegals be counted). The ramifications congressionally and in the Electoral College are profound. In fact, had it been done correctly, President Trump wouldn't have had to win a single "Blue Wall" state in 2024.
Article I only says that the Census must be done "within" every 10 year period. There is no prohibition on performing additional ones.
President Trump and Commerce Sec. Lutnick should fix the mistakes of 2020's botched Covid census and demand that Congress conduct a new one.
This is the social compact breaking down. We need urgency to restore it:
1 - Mass deportations
2 - Stop the H-1B scam
3 - Dramatically reduce LEGAL Immigration
4 - End chain migration and the Visa Lottery
5 - Build 10 million homes for Americans
6 - Crush the College Cartel
NEW:
🇺🇲🇮🇳 US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent now expects to receive support from India in the case of China's rare earth materials, despite the fact that a few weeks ago Trump imposed tariffs on them and blackmailed India to stop buying oil from Russia.
This is insane. What’s more insane… the Republican controlled House and Senate and White House won’t cut anyone’s budget who did this. Also, no one will be fired.
This document shows the Biden FBI spied on 8 of my Republican Senate colleagues during its Arctic Frost investigation into "election conspiracy" Arctic Frost later became Jack Smith's elector case against Trump
BIDEN FBI WEAPONIZATION = WORSE THAN WATERGATE
Thanks Grok:
The Soviet Union in WWII mobilized a vastly higher percentage of military-aged males (24% at peak, 62% total) than Russia (1.9%–5.4%) or Ukraine (4.3%–7.3%) in 2025. The difference stems from WWII’s total war nature versus the current conflict’s more limited (Russia) or defensive (Ukraine) scope. Ukraine’s mobilization rate is closer to the Soviet model due to its existential threat, but both modern nations face demographic challenges far less severe than the Soviet Union’s catastrophic losses.
The more Trump succeeds in bending the world toward peace and justice, the more deluded and deranged Europeans like Alistair become. This is a white pill moment for Western civilization.
This may have gone better than the last time Zelensky was in the Oval Office, but the world gains so little from these extended pool spray mini press conferences to feed a man child ego. If he really cared about the issues he would use every minute to try to fix it rather than drone on about these six wars he claims to have sorted.
