MAGA is dead. Long live America First.

You know… if people flip out one day and evangelical churches eventually get treated like enemies of the state, just remember it’s not Satan, it’s decades of garbage like this falling all over themselves to serve a foreign power and worship it like some stone god.

The German government was well aware of the mass arrest and execution of ethnic Germans in the USSR during the "German Operation" in 1937-38. During those two years the NKVD arrested a total of over 70,000 ethnic Germans in various operations of which it shot around 46,000.

This is why I will never support or cast a vote for Ron DeSantis. I don’t care how he handled COVID, as far as I am concerned this was a criminal act against the Republic for a foreign power. We are going to have less foreign loyalty in this country come hell or high water.

Today, the motor in my washing machine decided to start failing. Not dead yet but it's on its way out and has begun making loud, grinding noises. In the past, this means I need to spend 30-45 minutes of my day dealing with Indians via phone or web chat with the big box store I purchased from in order to get service. Today, I spent a whole 3 minutes dealing with an AI agent, it did not require 50 different explanations of what's wrong, 13 confirmations of my address, and 5 misunderstandings trying to convey what would be a good appointment time, and 4 rechecks of the serial number. If the idea behind farming out customer service to Indians was to make me so thoroughly frustrated I would welcome AI replacing them as complete relief, congratulations, it worked. I will never complain about AI again. Just design the datacenters better and start building nuclear reactors.

This is a long post. Don't know how many will read it, but there's something I have to get off my chest. There's a hard pill that ostensibly right-leaning Americans need to swallow. "Conservatism" needs to be put out to pasture. All forms. Angry with me already? Hear me out first. We've had 85 years of the American Right being suppressed and what have we had in this time as its replacement? Liberalism Fast and Liberalism Slow. "Liberalism but the frog is boiled more slowly" aka Conservatism being the choice other than fast Liberalism. Don't believe me? Think back to what the liberal positions were 15 years ago. Right now that'd be around first term Obama. Border security and deportation policy? Yep. Obama was actually doing more on some metrics. Stances on social issues? Today's conservatives are to the left of term 1 Obama. Cozying up as close as possible to Big Finance and Big Pharma after a whole song and dance about how bad they are on the campaign trail? Oh look, term 1 Obama again. On and on. What's happened? The original population is halfway to being replaced with foreigners who are completely incompatible with American culture and ethos, and conservatives just prattle on about colorblind meritocracy. Our industry has been gutted and shipped to China because conservatives told us in the 1990s that would make China into a free market capitalist society. We lost our industry and expertise and China is not a free market capitalist society. The natives still keeping their heads above water are regularly replaced with cheap foreign labor that is indentured in all but name, and conservatives like freshly-ousted Greg Abbott and John Cornyn in Texas could only keep singing the praises of building more Hindu gods, destroying Texas suburbs, and displacing the workers in their state. Conservatives talk a lot about what they'd do if they were in power. What have conservatives DONE about this when in power? Given mass amnesty for Mexicans who should have been sent home and surrendered California and New York permanently? Mass imported millions of Indians and displaced Americans from their jobs? Slap tariffs on China without even a back-of-napkin plan to onshore lost industry under the umbrella of said tariffs, thereby just raising costs for no long-term benefit? Refuse to pass laws or codify the vast majority of things they claim to support even when holding the presidency and both houses of Congress and just engage in infighting? Promise mass deportations and then reduce the illegal population at a rate that would tax the rest of the century just to get back to 2020 levels? 25 years of wars for no benefit to the United States, primarily benefitting a country that has committed more hostile espionage against the USA than the Soviet Union? Wars that, mind you, cost $11 trillion. There's another thing. What could you do with that $11 trillion? * That's 73 times the Pentagon's Bush era projection for what it would cost to build space-based solar powering the entire United States indefinitely. * That would be social security fully funded from now through 2034. * The estimated cost of trying to brute force fusion research to commercial-ready in 4-6 years with an Apollo or Manhattan Project-like program could be accomplished 55 times over. * We could build economical $100,000 homes for every homeless man, woman, or child in the USA for about $74 billion. * We could set up a sovereign wealth fund generating enough free cash annually without any additional investment to provide a safety net of $50,000/year for 2 million people at a time for $2.5T. These people could then be continually retrained and rolled back into the workforce and any unused money reinvested. That would be independent of any further need to tax the population. * The entire Interstate Highway System could be overhauled nationwide and brought up to modern standards for around $500 billion, although much likely less. SCENARIO A: We spend $11T. Five years from now, in 2031, * The USA has space-based solar nationwide, which has also created a burgeoning new industry, STEM careers, and a massive expansion of space launch capability nationwide. * The USA is hitting first viability of commercial fusion plants. This would do the same as the above for STEM education and careers, while also opening up opportunities like creating a sovereign wealth fund to relieve some tax burden, and license plants staffed with American operators to countries worldwide. Plants that provide clean, reliable energy. Plants which, the argument over anthropogenic climate change aside, if we just accept that as a given, would almost completely solve that problem with no fifteen minute cities or carbon credits or rationing or other nonsense. * 100% of homeless are off the streets in permanent shelters and we could be trying to work them back into the labor force so they're a net benefit, leaving that housing available for other poor. Even if they are not successfully reintegrated, they are now housed. * A sovereign wealth fund has been created to provide a safety net for up to 2 million workers at a time without requiring any further tax outlays. The fusion licensing could be rolled back into this to increase the number of people who could be covered as returns are continually reinvested. * SSA was fully funded back in 2027 and we only just now start working it into the tax budget again. * The entire Interstate Highway System has been overhauled and is ready to go for another half century or more of business and growth. The $11T is still spent and would still need to be paid off, but now as a result, the United States is now aggressively positioned for rapid growth and technological domination for the rest of the 21st century. SCENARIO B: 25 years of war in the Middle East and you get nothing. Conservatives will tell you Scenario A is Marxism, anti-free market, and the ultimate evil. We can't do that because that's against the Constitution and the Founders, and some other performative nonsense. Then they will turn around from these specious arguments and fund Scenario B without a second thought and wave the flag and say we're making the world safe for democracy. Do you see where I'm going with this? I don't think there is a brand in America more thoroughly repudiated than Conservatism. It's time for the American Right to reassert itself from the ashes left behind by Lindbergh and Ford. Put Conservatism out to pasture and embrace an aggressive Nationalism that overhauls the country and puts American prosperity first and foremost. Whether there is a direct benefit to the country and its native population is the unflinching measure by which all decisions should be made.

I'm a storyteller. I will tell you a story. Not a thinly veiled allegory or analogy. Not a fable. Not a parody or a satire, or some smug little parable featuring characters "Ronald Grump" and "Alan Tusk". No, this is a true story, and it means what it means, with no hidden symbolism whatsoever. It contains only facts, and general principles to derive from them. It is a story about Rome. We all know what Rome was. It was a republic, then an Empire, then nothing. But every time we ask why, historians wish to tell us it is complicated, and that we desperately need historians, such as themselves, to sort it all out. The decline and fall of the Roman Empire was not complicated. The decline and fall of the Roman Empire can be explained in two words. Cheap labor. The Romans, as you know, had two classes, the patricians and the plebeians. The patricians ruled Rome. But the plebeians were Rome. And the patricians forgot this. Around this point in the story, you may be thinking you understand me already. You may think you have anticipated where I am going with this. You may think that this is going to be some general polemic about the importance of remembering the little people. It is not. I have a very specific meaning, and I always choose my words very, very carefully. Two words. Cheap. Labor. The Romans patricians, like the old and the rich of any society, owned land, and sold goods. To do this, they bought labor. The Roman plebeians, most especially the young, sold labor. So that they could buy goods and land. So, it should go without saying, but often doesn't, that it was in the interest of plebeians that goods and land be cheap, and labor be expensive, and in the interest of patricians that land and goods should be expensive, and labor should be cheap. Now, markets have natural cycles. The price of every thing fluctuates up and down, looking for an equilibrium which is only ever temporary. Sometimes goods and land are cheap, and labor is expensive. Then the plebeians become fat and prosperous, and they marry pretty girls and have lots of healthy children. Sometimes goods and land are expensive, and labor is cheap, and patricians amass vast fortunes and build fine estates and eat honeyed dormice. To every thing, there is a season. But the patricians controlled Rome. Not fully or directly, not in theory, but they had money. And money buys power. Just as power buys money. And the temptation, in the long run, became irresistible. To buy political power, and put the finger of that political power on the scales of the market. To make sure the cheap labor stays cheap forever. In Rome, cheap labor meant slaves. Elsewhere, it has meant other things. In Rome, slaves kept labor cheap not only because slaves don't get paid, and can't quit, but also because every plebeian who sells labor must compete with the slave on price. Little by little, this took away from the plebeians, not only because real wages were depressed, but more importantly because there were no seasons of labor scarcity. No cycles in the market where wages went high. No fat seasons for the plebes, just an ever-increasing drought. And, while the patricians controlled Rome, the plebeians were Rome. It was their blood, shed in the legions, that conquered the world. Their sweat that built the shining city of seven hills. And their patriotism that defined what Rome was. The patricians ruled Rome. But the plebeians were Rome, and when they ceased to bear allegiance to Rome, Rome ceased to exist, because the only thing that Rome ever was, the only thing that any city or nation ever is, is its people. A man who has no work, a man who must compete with slaves, a man who is beaten down to want the hungriest beggar will take, is a man who cannot have a home and a family. Not only because he cannot afford such things. But because no woman will have him. No woman will bear his children. The ultimate expression, after all, of female lust and admiration, is "I want to have his babies". Fewer people seem to realize that the reverse is true. I was told once, by a man who should have known better, that Rome fell because the Romans forgot what it meant to be Roman. Nonsense. Rome fell because Romans knew exactly what it meant to be Roman. Which meant they knew that to be Roman meant to be replaced by slaves. The patricians bore no allegiance to Rome, because it was cheaper to replace the Roman workers with slaves, and the Roman legions with mercenaries. The plebeians bore no allegiance to Rome, because Rome bore no allegiance to them. And so Rome simply ceased to be. The outward forms hung around awhile, until the mercenaries, bearing no true allegiance to Rome, realized they didn't have to wait to be paid. They could just... take. The patricians destroyed Rome because they thought like politicians instead of kings. A politician buys a crown by offering the most to those whose support is most in doubt. A king knows that crowns and thrones are only symbols, and power comes from armies of loyal men, whose loyalty must be bought with loyalty in turn. Not table scraps. The Roman plebeians didn't want, and couldn't survive on, free bread and circuses. They needed work and land and incomes to have families and happy lives. But no Caesar emerged in time. Tick tock, Mr. Vance. Tick tock.

Everyone seeing this and going "she's just stupid" needs to snap the F out of it. She knows exactly the situation most Americans are in right now. She's not stupid, she's evil. She's gaslighting you and she knows it.

Here it is: you guys told Nationalists we were never MAGA and you don't need our votes. President's own words. We were the glue holding the MAGA coalition together. The President turned on people like Tucker who tried to give him the message kindly early on while he could course correct. Instead he had that wild Israeli kook Mark Levin there yelling calling the main white GOP voter base under 50 the "Woke Reich." Greg Abbott, when he needed to put Texans first, was still yelling about how he's going to keep turning Texas into India on Halloween. We've had enough. I'm a Texan. I voted Bo French and some local guys and left the rest of the fields blank, because those were the only unapologetic Nationalists on the ballot. I'd do it again. I will do it again. We're all done with a Republican vote meaning we keep driving toward the cliff and we just slow our speed, and the GOP calls us bigots and extremists if we want to turn the wheel. No more lesser of two evils votes. Tell the Republican Party they better campaign on turning the wheel, or even if we won't vote for the other guys, we're not voting for you anymore either.

Has anyone considered the possibility that there is a large section of the electorate who would be onboard with: * Not sexually grooming kids * Not showing kids hardcore porn in schools (I've seen the "books," don't gaslight me) * Not having perverted men in women's bathrooms * Not forcing normalization of degeneracy * Focusing on making things better for Americans internally before prioritizing external concerns * Ending all handouts to the third world unless and until the poor, elderly, and homeless are taken care of in the USA * Ending the government healthcare scam and returning Americans' insurance premiums to what they were pre-2010 if not lower by any means necessary * Ending the generational wealth destroying Federal Reserve system and designing a new banking and lending system that keeps the dollar stable, the way $1 when George Washington was president was still worth roughly $1 when my grandfather was born, rather than the 3300% inflation we've had since * Restricting immigration to people of sound moral character from first world countries * Not getting into any wars that aren't countering a direct threat to the United States or a crucial ally * Not passing speech and other restrictions on Americans at the behest of a foreign government * Death penalties for everyone involved with trafficking, abusing, screwing, and/or murdering children and young women on Mossad Island Neither major party seems to serve this market, at all. You get maybe a third of that at best. Yet that's all the broadest cross section of the public seem to talk about and broadly agree on, from what I can see. Seems like things a proper nationalist government would have as #1 priorities.

How did being @netanyahu lap dog work out for you, @realDonaldTrump ? Brilliant strategy, this $8 diesel seems to have really brought out the base. Maybe should’ve had @marklevinshow to the White House a few more times….

Hey @GregAbbott_TX , how's telling me I have no place in modern Texas if I'm not pro-Israel and pro-India working out for you now? The dinosaur of conservatism needs to wake up. The asteroid is here. It's been 85 years but we're back.

Re: the Learjet crash. All correct. Different aircraft have radically different performance to each other and some do not tolerate things going wrong or recover from them well. I got some fun time flying the F-16 in official simulators like 20 years ago, and one thing we did was recovery from various kinds of stalls. Part of what makes the F-16 so agile is how unstable it is. Some instances you quite literally have to shut off the FLCS and rock your way out of the stall or it'll hold you in one and not let go. And that's a fighter, it will tolerate a LOT more than what civil aviation aircraft will.

The Internet Indian Wars have forced me to level up my insult game.
