The only foreign nationality I come close to trusting are the Japanese. They know who and what they are and make no excuses or apologies for being Japanese. As as often as not they choose to butt out of everyone else's business.

This is Trust & Safety 2.0. The last time we had media-generated panics like this (with Russiagate and Covid), social media companies created “trust & safety” teams to censor conservative and dissident voices. Those hires worked with left-wing NGOs like the SPLC to police public discourse and do an end-run around the First Amendment. It almost worked, until Elon bought Twitter and exposed the whole game in the Twitter Files. This time the plan is to embed unfireable EA minders inside every AI company as the new trust-and-safety layer. The censorship and control will be far more comprehensive, but also more subtle. Anytime they don’t get what they want, this unaccountable NGO layer (with the veneer of “trust the experts” pseudoscience) will shriek to the press that the AI company is risking humanity, and they will be celebrated as “whistleblowers.” These groups haven’t earned our trust, and their agenda is not our safety. aievaluatorforum.org/initiat…

Govern Me Harder Daddy, only a One World Government that gives me & 2 friends a monopoly business cartel over the biggest industry in the world can save the world from how dangerous my own product is.

Daughter Haley worked at Greenberg Traurig on matters including the EB-5 investor-visa program (which Daddy hustled along) and then she registered as a Texas lobbyist for clients like Alibaba and others (whose PACs donated to Daddy’s campaigns). THAT my friends, is John Cornyn.

Good news: people are forming book clubs on X to study foundational works of theology and philosophy. Humanity is not done yet. Join this group reading Augustine's City of God:

CENTCOM: Military working dogs serve alongside U.S. forces throughout the Middle East, performing a variety of critical missions. They are trusted teammates in protecting American service members from threats.

U.S. officials say Chinese state-sponsored hackers breached NASA, the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Senate, the Justice Department, Energy Department, HHS, and NIH. The DOJ and FBI have seized the platforms used to target U.S. critical infrastructure.

Ignore Bessent at Your Peril Machiavelli’s central lesson of statecraft was simple: dangers seen from afar can be managed; dangers ignored until they are obvious become unmanageable. Wall Street should apply that rule to Scott Bessent. Ignore him at your peril. The bond market is still treating Washington’s new posture as a technical adjustment. It is not. It is a regime change. Bessent is not merely managing the Treasury market; he is beginning to set the rules of the global digital financial system. The forcing function is debt. With US interest costs rising alongside structural deficits, the long end of the Treasury curve can no longer be left entirely to the Federal Reserve. Funding costs are now a question of fiscal capacity, geopolitical power and financial stability. Bessent has made the direction explicit: the administration will do what it takes to lower yields. Treasury’s decision to double buybacks to $4B per operation from September 9 through November 4 is nominally a liquidity measure. Yet its promise of further detail on futures buybacks on November 4 matters more. It suggests that Treasury’s market-management toolkit is widening. The yen intervention was the appetizer. It demonstrated that currencies, liquidity and market structure are now instruments of strategy. The next phase is more consequential: active management of the Treasury curve while constructing the rails for a dollar-centred digital financial order. That is where the Genius Act fits. Properly understood, it is not simply crypto regulation. It is an attempt to bring dollar stablecoins, reserve standards and digital-payment infrastructure within an American legal and financial perimeter. Stablecoins backed by short-duration Treasuries transform global demand for digital dollars into demand for US government debt. They extend dollar distribution beyond banks, correspondent networks and the legacy payments system. Bitcoin is the complementary signal. It is a coiled spring because it captures two trades at once: demand for scarce, non-sovereign money, and anticipation of a much larger regulated digital-dollar ecosystem. Washington can regulate the perimeter of crypto, but it cannot manufacture Bitcoin’s scarcity. This is fiscal dominance with a digital dimension. Treasury increasingly sets the incentives; the Federal Reserve reacts within constraints shaped by debt service, market functioning and dollar strategy. Wall Street keeps parsing buybacks, currency intervention, stablecoin legislation and Bitcoin as unrelated events. They are not. Debt is the constraint. Yield management is the response. Digital dollars are the distribution channel. And Bessent is defining the rules.

Professional athletes have been carefully chosen their entire lives because they are “coachable” and they consistently perform on demand. GREATNESS is found in the few who instinctively make the best decisions for themselves.

AI allows full grown adults to ask questions like children - that they have been too afraid to ask of friends because they didn’t want to look stupid.
