The thing about watching a superpower decline in real time is that it is not dramatic. People expect drama. The fall of the Berlin Wall. The helicopter leaving Saigon. A moment. Decline is not a moment. It is Walmart shelves that were stocked with Chinese manufacturing for so long that when the tariffs came there was no American factory to replace the supply chain because the factory closed in 1987 and the people who worked there are in their seventies. It is allies who say the right things in the communiqué and then go home and make other arrangements. It is a currency that is still dominant but whose dominance is for the first time in eighty years a subject of active international planning to reduce. It is a military that has not won a major war since 1945 but whose budget keeps growing because the budget is not about winning wars, it is about the domestic economy of the congressional districts where the weapons are built. It is a political class so consumed by the internal contradictions the empire generates at home, the inequality, the racial reckoning, the infrastructure crisis, the opioid epidemic, the debt, that it cannot maintain the sustained attention that running the world actually requires. It is slow. It is administrative. It is the texture of daily life changing at a pace that is visible only in retrospect. And in the middle of it, making it loud and visible and impossible to ignore, is Trump. The decline did not produce him. The decline is him.

As a Chinese person, I certainly don't want to see Europeans all installing air conditioners. If all 500+ million people across Europe ran AC and lived the way folks do in China, it would spell real trouble for our planet. Moreover, just as Europeans don't want to see modernization in China's Tibet and Xinjiang, claiming it destroys the culture of local ethnic minorities, we Chinese feel the same way — we don't like seeing modern technologies, such as AC, destroy Europe's primitive way of life. It's an assault on Europe's indigenous culture. We Chinese must speak up for the preservation of European traditions, and never allow modern technology to wipe out Europe's backward but beautiful cultures.

On June 8, 2026, I’ll speak on the floor of the House to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the 🇺🇸 USS Liberty who died and were wounded in an unprovoked attack by 🇮🇱 Israel on June 8, 1967. Catch my speech on @cspan.

AIPAC will dump a ton of money to make sure Marco Rubio is the 2028 Republican nominee, and Republicans will eat up the goy slop. I'm asking Thomas Massie to run as an Independent to fuck things up for Rubio. Massie won't sell out as RFK Jr. did.

I'm worried that Trump will launch a war on Cuba, to distract attention from his war on Iran, which distracted attention from his war on Venezuela, which distracted attention from the Epstein files

Israeli citizen Miriam Adelson bought the Dallas Mavericks for $3.5 billion; now she’s buying politicians. She’s spending millions in Kentucky to buy Ed Gallrein, my primary opponent, a Congressional seat in Kentucky. Why? Because I won’t vote to send your tax dollars overseas.

This story is immensely touching and is going massively viral in China. It's also a pretty good soft signal that China is taking warming ties with the U.S. sincerely. This lady 👇 is called Yin Yuzhen (殷玉珍) and she lives in a place called Jǐngbèitáng (井背塘) in Inner Mongolia - deep in the heart of the Mu Us (毛乌素) Desert, a place whose name literally translates from Mongolian as "bad (lacking) water". In 1985, aged 19, she and her husband were really desperate by the encroaching desert: sandstorms would seal their door shut overnight and literally threaten to bury them alive. She was crying every day and considered ending her life. However, her defiant spirit prevailed and she decided to fight the desert, saying she'd "rather die planting trees than let the sand bully me to death" (宁可种树累死,也不让沙子欺负死) In 1986, they traded the family's most valuable possession - a sheep - for 600 tree seedlings. Fewer than 10 survived, but they saw hope. Her husband Bái Wànxiáng (白万祥) took manual labor jobs and asked for tree seedlings instead of wages. In 1999, Yin Yuzhen's story made it into national news on CCTV. An American named Ronald Sakolsky - originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - who was teaching English as a foreign instructor at Luoyang Foreign Language School (洛阳外国语学校) in Henan province, was deeply moved. He immediately started sending emails to multiple American organizations to raise $5,000 for her. The $5,000 was sent through a Beijing-based foundation. In the video 👇, Yin Yuzhen recalls receiving it: "I had never seen that much money in my life - it scared me half to death." She spent every cent on higher-quality seedlings than she'd ever been able to afford. Shortly after, Sakolsky traveled to the Mu Us desert in person. He found her out in the sand, planting. Seeing green where he'd expected only desert, he kept saying "impossible, impossible." With Sakolsky's $5,000 alone, Yin Yuzhen planted 50,000 seedlings which have now become a forest. Over her entire life, since the 1980s, her life's work stands at over two million trees planted, transforming almost 50 km² (roughly 80% of Manhattan) of desert into green land. Yin Yuzhen was awarded the 全国劳模 (National Model Worker), one of China's highest civilian honors. Seeing her video titled 寻找赛考斯 ("Searching for Sakolsky") and the incredible impact it was having on Chinese social media, journalists from Inner Mongolia's Benteng Media (奔腾融媒) tracked Sakolsky down by going to the Luoyang No. 2 Foreign Language Academy and finding the Headmaster Bai Fan, who was Sakolsky's former colleague. Bai Fan connected with Sakolsky by phone on the spot, shot on video by the journalists (my 2nd video 👇), inviting him back to China to see what his $5,000 became. This was 2 days ago on May 17th so you can bet that a Sakolsky visit to China will be arranged soon and that this will be one of the biggest pieces of US-China public diplomacy this year. Now this story coming out and being amplified right after Trump's visit is of course no coincidence, we shouldn't be naive: what better way to translate the warmth from the visit than letting a desert grandmother in a red headscarf tell the internet she's looking for her American friend? That doesn't make the story any less real or any less touching. In fact this story is the perfect reminder that countries don't have friends, but people do. And when countries remember this, deserts turn green.

If legislators always vote with the President, we have a king. If legislators always vote with the prevailing wind, we have mob rule. If legislators always vote with the Constitution, we have a Republic.

Thomas Massie: “The Epstein class is above party.” “They don’t associate as Republicans or Democrats.” “They’re above judges.” “They’ve got visa waivers.” “They fly private planes.” “They don’t mingle with the public.” “John Paulson, one of the three billionaires who’ve [funded my opponent], was in Epstein’s phone book.” “He also was implicated in these files as … reaching out to Jeffrey Epstein to get money from him to honor Howard Lutnick.” “It’s a really small world when you get into the billionaires.” “And they’re not partisans.” “My hat’s off to Marjorie Taylor Greene for taking on those threats.” “Lauren Boebert … they took her into the situation room and tried to whip her into taking her name off of the discharge petition.” “And then the President vetoed a bill that would’ve brought water to a large portion of Colorado over Epstein.” “It’s not just about Lauren Boebert.” “Why are people in Colorado deprived of water because their representative wants to expose a sex trafficking ring?” Tucker Carlson: “Why do you think Epstein, of all issues, is the one that Donald Trump was willing to destroy his presidency over?” Massie: “The people who are funding the ballroom, the people who are funding the arch, the people who are funding the rebranding of the Kennedy Center, these are the people who are also funding my opponent.” “These are the people who have the ear of the President.” “These are the people who are dominating our foreign policy decisions.” “And these are also the same people who are in the Epstein files, by large part, or their friends are.” This is the issue that pushed Trump and the Epstein class to spend $10 million desperately trying to defeat Massie. And the race is closer than you think. His campaign needs all of our help right now to survive. @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY @TuckerCarlson

Thomas Massie just exposed the power of the Israeli lobby. 'I won my last three primaries by 75%, 76%, and 81%. Now I'm up by one point. Outside money is pouring in against me from billionaire donors tied to the Israeli lobby: Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, John Paulson. They're trying to crush me for putting America first'

Prof. Jiang Xueqin: "If you look at the Epstein files it's clear that we are run by secret societies." "It's clear that the world is run by these individuals who have a lot of power." "You can call them Illuminati. And the Illuminati are composed of three major groups: You have the Jesuits who control the Vatican. You have the Sabbatean Frankists who control the modern Israel today. You have the Freemasons which control the national security apparatus of the United States. And they believe that Israel and this war in the Middle East is key to the end times in creating heaven on Earth." "So it's almost like a script that they're following even though it doesn't make any sense." Heaven on Earth doesn't come cheap. And we're the ones paying the price.
