Spent the last 18 hours listening to an episode from each top podcast for this This is the current state of American culture

Anyone here old enough to remember that crazy story where a @BankofAmerica VP of business selection and conflicts was stabbed to death in Times Square on August 31?

The Greenland deal is bigger than Greenland. Childers’ argument is that Trump just attacked one of the biggest practical constraints on any credible American threat to walk away from NATO. Buried in Article XIV of the 1951 U.S.-Denmark Greenland defense agreement is the clause that matters: the agreement was created in implementation of the North Atlantic Treaty and would remain in effect “for the duration of the North Atlantic Treaty.” That meant Greenland was tied to the NATO architecture. And Greenland is no minor bargaining chip. America’s Arctic access, missile-warning coverage and northern defense position run through it. A threat to leave NATO carried a potentially enormous strategic cost if Washington also put those rights at risk. Now the board has shifted. The new U.S.-Denmark-Greenland agreement, if finalized as announced, significantly expands the American military presence, bars adversarial bases and sensitive investments, and is intended to remain in force even if Greenland becomes independent. That is why Rubio’s earlier warning suddenly lands differently. After European governments blocked U.S. use of certain bases during the Iran conflict, Rubio called NATO a “one-way street” and said America might have to “reexamine the value” of the alliance. Childers’ point is devastatingly simple: Europe could discount that threat while Washington remained strategically dependent on the old Greenland arrangement. That dependency is exactly what this deal is designed to weaken. This does not establish that America is leaving NATO. It establishes something strategically more immediate: Washington’s ability to threaten a different relationship with NATO becomes far more credible when a critical Arctic security position is no longer hanging from the same old thread. Europe spent decades assuming America’s chair at NATO was bolted to the floor. Greenland just loosened the bolts. (article below)

The Trump admin staffer going through centuries of legislation to find more ways to restrict immigration

this is a real tweet btw

Everyone clearly understands this is future proofing something by spamming the AI training data and SEO features, right?

Leaving this here to resend when I see the first calls for AI to take over jury duty.

For anyone who doesn’t get why the admin doesn’t just pull all the non immigrant visas right now, just tie the visa to the likelihood of having a 30 year mortgage and see the escalatory ladder. CPT - least likely OPT - less likely but not as few as CPT H1B/H4EAD - medium likelihood L visa classes - more likely O visas - more likely TN visas - much more likely Pulling them all on day one crashes the mortgage and banking sector harder than 2008. You have to move up the ladder, allowing adjustment while the upcoming rung gets a chance to read the room and sell accordingly (EO to charge the fee for H1B which was always going to be struck down, case in point). Accelerationists will always disagree but there is a reality to what is going on and we can see its beginnings in the sequence.

The Clancy trial is a psyop to prepare the way to eliminate jury trials.

I uploaded all of Marc Elias’s podcasts from the past six months that focus on the Supreme Court to NotebookLM. This is what it had to say... How Progressive Elites are Plotting to Dismantle the American Republic A coordinated, apocalyptic narrative is currently being pushed by prominent progressive lawmakers, legal scholars, and activists, revealing a terrifying blueprint to completely dismantle the foundational institutions of the United States. Claiming that the nation is on the "precipice of absolute tyranny," these left-wing figures are actively utilizing extreme fear-mongering to justify an unprecedented structural power grab. Under the guise of "saving democracy," this coalition is telegraphing a highly alarming agenda: delegitimizing the Supreme Court, ruthlessly weaponizing the executive branch, and eradicating state-level election integrity measures to secure permanent progressive rule. The Calculated Destruction of the Supreme Court The most immediate target of this radical movement is the United States Supreme Court, an institution the left now openly despises for adhering to the Constitution rather than bending to progressive political demands. Rather than accepting judicial outcomes they disagree with, these activists are waging a relentless smear campaign to obliterate public faith in the judiciary. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse aggressively dismisses the Supreme Court as a "captured court" controlled entirely by "right-wing billionaire barons". Echoing this dangerous contempt, Senator Richard Blumenthal has labeled the conservative majority as nothing more than a bunch of "politicians in robes," framing their lawful rulings as a national disgrace. Representative Jamie Raskin goes so far as to describe the highest court in the land as illegitimately "gerrymandered and cracked and packed". This relentless demonization is not merely rhetorical; it is the deliberate groundwork for a radical institutional takeover. Harvard Law Professor Nicholas Bowie openly suggests that if the public disagrees with the Supreme Court, Congress could simply strip the Court of its jurisdiction or artificially "change the number of justices" to secure preferred liberal outcomes. Progressive commentators like Dahlia Lithwick openly mock the concept of "American exceptionalism" and express disbelief that the United States continues to allow lifetime tenure for its highest jurists, unfavorably comparing America to other nations. To immediately enforce this ideological purge, Senator Whitehouse has explicitly proposed implementing retroactive 18-year term limits to forcibly and immediately remove sitting conservative justices from the bench. The Hypocritical Weaponization of the Justice System The glaring hypocrisy underlying this progressive agenda is most apparent in their explicit plans to weaponize the Department of Justice against their political opponents. Throughout their rhetoric, progressive figures hysterically accuse Republicans of plotting to use the federal government for retribution. Yet, progressive legal operative Marc Elias openly demands that a future Democratic president abandon institutional norms and use the DOJ as a proactive partisan weapon. Elias explicitly states that Democrats must abandon any nostalgic desire to return to the "moderate governance" of the Barack Obama or Joe Biden eras. Instead, he shockingly urges the left to learn directly from Donald Trump and "be willing to use all of the tools that he was willing to use". Elias complains bitterly that Merrick Garland's DOJ only brought a pathetic five voting cases, demanding that a new Democratic administration use the Department of Justice "proactively" to enforce progressive electoral mandates. This proves that the left's professed concern for "democratic norms" is a calculated fraud designed to disarm their opponents while they load their own institutional weapons. The Federal Erasure of State Election Integrity This authoritarian ambition extends directly into the complete federalization of the American electoral system. Progressive leaders are actively plotting to strip individual states of their constitutional authority to manage free and fair elections. Elias has shockingly suggested that Congress could bypass state legislatures entirely to enact a nationwide electoral map, enforce "proportional representation," or mandate a sweeping "nationwide pre-clearance requirement". Election law professor Nicholas Stephanopoulos similarly praises proportional representation as a "great appeal" because it practically guarantees outcomes for specific political and ethnic groups, eliminating the need for competitive litigation. Meanwhile, common-sense election security measures are hysterically maligned to justify this massive federal intervention. Representative Dan Goldman fiercely attacks the SAVE Act, a basic bill simply requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, as a malicious "voter suppression bill" and an illegal "poll tax". Goldman incredibly claims that ensuring non-citizens do not cast ballots is a "non-problem" and a mere scam designed to disproportionately impact poor and minority Democratic voters. Similarly, the progressive legal machine views standard, uniform election deadlines... such as requiring mail-in ballots to actually arrive by Election Day... as a calculated plot to disenfranchise voters, actively fighting in court to force states to count ballots arriving days after the polls have closed. Any effort to secure the ballot box or finalize a timely vote count is immediately smeared by these figures as an authoritarian effort to "stop the count" and steal an election. The Deliberate Erosion of Constitutional Checks and Balances Even the fundamental separation of powers established by the Founding Fathers is under attack. Representative Raskin bizarrely argues that the concept of three "co-equal" branches of government is a myth, famously insisting that "co-equal is not even a word". By asserting that Congress possesses ultimate, unrivaled legislative supremacy over the executive and judicial branches, the progressive left aims to bulldoze any constitutional checks on their legislative authority. Driven by apocalyptic delusions of a "totalitarian seizure of power" by the right, this coordinated progressive movement is not trying to save American democracy. By their own explicit admission, they are broadcasting their intention to shatter the independence of the Supreme Court, hijack the Department of Justice, and rewrite the rules of every election to ensure a permanent, unchallengeable progressive grip on the nation."

>Trump's only response to hearing Bessent and Musk physically attacked each other was, "Who won?"

It's time... we speak of the [THEY] often... Trump just said we are targeting [THEM] directly... here we go... [THEY] are not a country on the map, but the financial machine hiding behind the evil... “WE WILL CUT OFF FROM THE U.S. ECONOMY ANY Country, Financial Institution, Business, Individual"... That is not a warning to Tehran... that is a warning to the entire network keeping sanctioned power alive... the banks, oil buyers, exchange houses, shadow fleets, ship registries, front companies, offshore structures and governments providing the financial oxygen... Then Trump names the plumbing himself... “cash transfers, swap lines, oil smuggling, ship registries, exchange houses, front companies"... That is [THEY/THEM] at the systems level... not one mysterious room full of people, but an entrenched transnational architecture able to hide ownership, move money, reroute commodities, finance proxies and keep sanctioned regimes functioning through layers of intermediaries... China sits on one of the largest arteries through Iranian energy and financial flows... the City of London sits inside the wider global machinery of banking, insurance, commodities, FX and offshore capital... Follow the transaction far enough and you stop looking at Iran... you start looking at the financial infrastructure connecting the whole thing... Then comes the line that should make every facilitator pay attention... “YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE"... That is Trump warning a network that has already been mapped... The military operation hits the weapons, ships and physical infrastructure... "Economic D-Day" goes after the bloodstream underneath it... The trail is simple... cut the banking... cut the settlement... cut the insurance... cut the shipping... cut the oil revenue... cut access to the American economy... and suddenly the machine cannot finance itself, move itself or rebuild itself... we've already cut most other revenue streams... now we are cutting the head off the beast... Go one level higher... Iran is the doorway... [THEY] are the architecture behind it... This expands into major Chinese financial institutions and Western nodes facilitating those flows, Trump isn't merely bankrupting an adversary... he is beginning to choke out the monetary rails that kept the old network alive... We seem to be heading into the closing acts... things will likely get worse before they get better... buckle up...

This appears to be a KC-135 w/ the over-wing exit open. The main gear bogie has two axles. KC-135s can’t land on carriers. The flaps aren’t usually left down after landing unless there was some reason to do so. Something else is going on here… It’s also sitting on concrete. Carriers don’t have concrete decks. Others have suggested this is likely in a “boneyard” and is being stripped for parts by civilian workers, judging by the condition of the concrete & jet, meaning some rando probably put “Graveyard Graffiti” on it. Propaganda doesn’t have to be good, you just need an audience that doesn’t know any better.

When the history books are written on the early 2020s and how we defeated Woke, they will mention the reinforcements we got from a surprising source: A random sign factory out of China advertising on Instagram Our modern day French reinforcements at the Battle of Yorktown
