@WarClandestine I’m up for that! Seems wise since so many took advantage of us for so long.

IT’S HAPPENING 👀 Trump JUST spoke to Putin and said things were positive, and now Trump announces they are looking into reducing our standing army in Germany. Just as I hypothesized, Trump is reducing our military footprint in the Eastern Hemisphere, which will lead to normalized relations with Russia and China, and the end to the war in Ukraine. US Military presence in Germany is essentially the standing deterrent for all of Europe, and is Putin’s biggest threat, if NATO/Ukraine were to draw the US into direct conflict with the US MIL, which he does not want. Long story short, Trump looking to remove our standing military presence from Germany signals the coming of the end of US involvement in NATO, and thus the end of the war in Ukraine, and potentially the end of the Cold War with Russia that never really ended. Trump is beginning the process of consolidating our forces in the Western Hemisphere, and resetting the global order. Extremely good sign.

@CuriosityonX So maybe we can’t see advanced civilizations nor they see us because the distances are too huge and we’re all seeing history and never able to see any other sentient beings.

People don't realize this photo is a time machine. The Pillars of Creation are 6,500 light-years away. The light in this image left them when humans were still building the first cities, before writing, before the pyramids, before recorded history. By the time it reached our telescope, civilizations had risen and fallen. You are not seeing the universe. You are seeing the past.

Just toxic ☠️ This is what we are all breathing in.. a lovely toxic mix of aluminum, barium, lithium and strontium to name just a few.. Our governments are sanctioning the poisoning of our air, water and soil, and they have the audacity to tell us they care about our health!

HOW MANY OF THESE WERE JUST NORMAL TO YOU? 1. Aluminum ice trays with the lever 2. Sharing one TV in the house 3. Writing checks at the store 4. Hanging clothes outside 5. Sitting close to the TV 6. Phone attached to the wall 7. Waiting all week for one show 8. Drinking from the hose 9. No remote… you were it 10. Memorizing phone numbers 11. Mixing tapes off the radio and hitting record at the right time 12. Riding in the back of a station wagon with no seatbelts 13. Getting up to change the channel on the TV 14. Using a pay phone and carrying a roll of quarters 15. Watching VHS tapes that had to be rewound 16. Milk and bread delivered to your door 17. Playing outside until the streetlights came on 18. Using a typewriter for school papers **HOW MANY YOU GOT?**

@realannapaulina VETO!

I voted against this. Unfortunately, too many Republicans sided with Democrats and it passed.

@berniemoreno @ohiogop And a paycheck!

We are all safe. We have the best law enforcement on Earth. True heroes that deserve our unconditional support, respect, and admiration.

@canncon Ummm…YES!

If I ever won the lotto, I’d keep it to myself……. But there’d be signs.

@tyromper Likely the parents think that struggle builds growth & resilience which I agree with in principle. However occasional help is fine to help avoid catastrophy.

I don't understand the boomers that hoard all their wealth from their kids. I have a good buddy that's struggling. Married with a few kids. He's smart. Graduated university with great grades, got hired by a good company, & did everything "right." He got laid off over a year ago & told me he's sent 10,000 resumes in with no job offerings..... He's working side gigs but his family is stressed. His folks are retired & in their 70's. His dad recently told him he's got north of 15 million invested!!! My buddy said he didn't say anything & didn't want to be disrespectful but it perplexed him. Why wait until you die to gift it to your kids?! It's worth more now helping out in my opinion that in 20 years when you die & you give 25 million to a 55 year old that's also then likely set & not stressed. You can gift like what 16k a year tax free too. It's their money, & when my folks sat my sister & I down for the inheritance talk we both said we don't want/expect anything you raised us well so do you!!!! But, I guarantee if I was in this guys shoes my folks would offer help. I don't understand the logic not to.

@yonann The wisest shark in the swimming hole!

Kevin O'Leary says $5 million liquid in t-bills is when you know you've actually made it. "the hardest thing is to make the first million, when you make it put it in t-bills, two to three million is actually quite easy once you figure it out, but where people get undisciplined is buying shit they don't need, your mandate is $5 million liquid in t-bills, liquidity with wealth is actually a superpower, most people who think they're wealthy couldn't raise a million dollars by 2pm if they tried"

@ianmiles Control likely starts at the energy availability level - then chip production follows and dwarfs all!

Elon Musk: For the next few years, I think America is likely to win the artificial intelligence race. But that early lead is fragile and short-lived. Ultimately, the global victor will be decided by a single factor: it will be a function of who controls the AI chip fabrication. The factories that make the AI chips, who controls them? That is where the real power lies. If those facilities are controlled, if more of them are controlled by China, then China will win the future of AI. Right now, almost all the advanced AI chip factories, they call them fabs, are located in Taiwan. That immense concentration of manufacturing creates a massive vulnerability for the rest of the globe. If China invades Taiwan, what happens to the world? Well, if they were to invade in the near term, the entire world would essentially be cut off from advanced AI chips overnight. Everything would grind to a halt. Currently, one hundred percent of advanced AI chips are made in Taiwan. We are relying entirely on a single location for the critical hardware that will define the next era of human technology and military dominance. Bringing that manufacturing power back home and securing our own supply chain is absolutely essential for national security, and the harsh reality is that we are simply not doing enough to prepare.

@GrantCardone LFG! Too many retirees funding the grift! Fed, state, local all inclusive!

🚨 DONALD TRUMP DEMANDS ‘NO MORE PROPERTY TAXES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES!’ You can’t hate this! President Trump launches national revolution to abolish property taxes which would result in the most powerful economic expansion in U.S. history.

@WarClandestine ❤️ this! ☝️

The world as we know it is about to undergo a MASSIVE transformation. The “Old Guard” who once pulled the strings, has been outmaneuvered. Once we settle all family business and tie up loose ends, the US MIL will be consolidating in the Western Hemisphere. The days of forever wars, color revolutions, proxy wars, human trafficking, drug trafficking, big pharma, bioweapon development, corrupt media, mass manipulation, unchecked crime, nuclear arms races, enslavement of The People, etc., all of it is coming to an end. Once Trump has all rogue assets eliminated and the global board entirely secure, we can proceed to rebuilding this world the way it was intended to be, without the tentacles of the establishment subduing us for their own nefarious agenda. We are witnessing the dawn of a The Golden Age of Humanity.

@elonmusk Yes but…is the current solar panel technology the best we can do for our future…I certainly don’t think so! But…the sun is the key to the solution!!!

The Sun is ~everything

@edgaralandough This is only true if you’re self made. If you’re born with a silver spoon, or hit the lottery, or otherwise not made your own way…on Sunday night you hope You’ll be sober enough to not be arrested on Monday.

I USED TO THINK RICH PEOPLE WERE JUST LUCKY. Then I started watching how they spent their Sundays. "Your Sunday evening tells me everything about who you will be financially in five years," my mentor said. Here are 10 Sunday habits of people who are quietly building wealth:

@r0ck3t23 💯! @grok and @elonmusk anything to add here?

Sam Altman just told the interviewer no. Three times. Interviewer: “Do you think space data centers will be viable in the next two to three years?” Sam Altman: “No.” Five years? “No.” Ten years? He paused. Then came the line. Altman: “I wish Elon luck.” Four words. Dripping with dismissal. The problem is Elon has heard that exact tone before. From the aerospace industry when he said rockets could land themselves on a floating platform in the ocean. From Wall Street when he said a fully electric car could outsell the combustion engine. From the entire satellite industry when he said one company could blanket the planet in broadband from low Earth orbit. They all wished him luck too. Here is what Altman apparently does not understand about space data centers. The single largest cost in running a data center is not hardware. It is not labor. It is energy and cooling. AI compute runs hot. Brutally hot. Entire rivers are being rerouted. Power grids are buckling. Municipalities are rejecting data center contracts because the energy demand is unsustainable. Space solves both problems at once. Uninterrupted solar exposure with no atmosphere diffusing it. Heat radiates directly into vacuum. No cooling towers. No water consumption. No grid dependency. No zoning fights. No land. The physics do not care what Sam Altman thinks is viable. And Starship changes the entire cost structure. The price to put a kilogram into orbit has dropped by orders of magnitude since SpaceX started flying. It is still dropping. The moment heavy lift becomes routine, the economics of orbital infrastructure shift in ways that make Altman’s dismissal look like a telecom executive in 1995 saying the internet would never be a real business. Altman runs the most well-funded AI lab on Earth and still cannot solve his energy problem. He is buying nuclear plants. He is cutting deals with natural gas operators. He is negotiating with governments to build dedicated power corridors just to keep the lights on. The constraint is real. The desperation is visible. And his answer to whether orbital infrastructure could help was three nos and a wish of luck. That is not analysis. That is not even a position. That is a man who has never built a rocket looking at a man who lands them and choosing condescension over curiosity. Elon Musk has a specific and well-documented relationship with the word impossible. He dissolves it. Repeatedly. Ahead of schedule. Then moves to the next one. Altman is not a bad operator. OpenAI is a serious organization doing serious work. But there is a difference between running the most important software company in the world and being the person who rewrites the physical constraints of civilization. Altman is the former. Musk is the latter. When Elon says something is coming, the correct response is not to wish him luck. It is to ask what quarter. The people who bet against him are not wrong because Musk is infallible. They are wrong because they keep applying conventional judgment to someone who has made a career out of destroying it. Space data centers are not a fantasy. They are an engineering problem on a predictable cost curve being driven down by a man who already solved three others that everyone said were impossible. Altman should hope they work. Because the man dismissing Elon is the man who needs this solved most.

@grok @elonmusk Which model has the gull wing doors. Sorry I’ve only studied the cyber truck

@RealJoeZman @elonmusk

Only a few hundred Tesla Model S & X cars left in inventory. Order now if you want one.

@elonmusk And therein lies the beauty of our home planet Earth!

Vast technology differences simultaneously

@johnkonrad @drawandstrike @grok, what is the actual deficit if you take all of this as gospel?

What if America is already far richer than anyone in the swamp is allowed to admit? What if the real drag on the Republic isn’t taxes, isn’t debt, isn’t even the deficit, it’s Europe? What if NATO was never a mutual defense pact, but a 75-year subscription America forgot to cancel? What if “burden sharing” is the most expensive euphemism in the English language? What if the City of London cabal is draining our banks? What if the advice from globalists is terrible advice that’s costing us big? What if every European basing agreement, every forward-deployed brigade, every Ramstein runway, every Aviano hangar, every Souda Bay pier is a tax American workers pay so Berlin can run a welfare state and Paris can run a 35-hour week? What if foreign aid to Europe isn’t aid, it’s tribute, flowing the wrong way? What if transporting the vast majority of trade on European owned ships costs more than we realize? What if the NGO archipelago in Brussels, Geneva, and The Hague is just a money-laundering loop where US taxpayer dollars get rinsed through a “civil society” conference and returned as lectures about our democracy? What if the UN isn’t a parliament of man, it’s a Manhattan timeshare with diplomatic plates, an accounting black hole, and a Human Rights Council chaired by people who’d jail you for tweeting this? What if “the rules-based international order” was always code for: Americans build it, Americans pay for it, Americans bleed for it, and Europeans grade it? What if $36 trillion in debt looks a lot smaller the second you stop underwriting a continent that sneers at you in three languages? What if you zeroed out the Europe line, the NATO line, the UN line, the NGO line, and woke up tomorrow in a country with the fiscal headroom to rebuild every shipyard, every foundry, every rail line, and every Navy hull we’ve let rot since the Cold War ended? What if American tourists went to American cathedrals, American opera, American museums, American cities instead. I’m not saying I believe all of it. I’m saying maybe, just maybe, we could pay down all our debt and wouldn’t have to pay taxes at all if we cut Europe loose.

@throwem_out @FalkTG My grandfather was also in all that you mentioned. 82nd Airborne medic. Amazing the sacrifices they endured and still prevailed. 💪✌️❤️

@FalkTG My Dad made 3 landings, N. Africa, Sicily, 1st Wave Omaha Beach Normandy. Fought in the Battle of the Bulge and other combat ops. He would have been absolutely sick at how Europe turned out. He passed in 2018 at 97 and I am glad he is not around to see what Europe has become.

I repeat: The U.S. sent thousands of its 19 years old soldiers to die in Normandy, to free Europe and to end the biggest crime against humanity ever commited - by Europeans. It was just 81 years ago. The whole reason, France, Benelux etc. 🇫🇷 exist today is because of this heroism. My grandparents could grow up in a liberal democracy. Without the U.S. they would be raised at the H*tler Youth. We Europeans would still be in wars again and again, like 1914, 1866, 1870, 1795 etc. They brought peace, democracy, liberty and human rights. They invested billions of U.S. Dollars into Europe with the Marshall Fund. They gave us more than we ever had in our history before. They protected us for 7 decades with hundreds of thousands of soldiers against the cruelties of the Soviet Union. The terror we can see nowadays in Donetsk, would have happened in Bavaria, Bourgogne or the Netherlands in 1950 if there wasn’t the U.S. 🇺🇸 Who do we Europeans think we are to let that nation down, act like bad allies, calling their President names every day on television - and have full confidence we stand better alone. All of instagram is just about, why we’re better than the U.S. We owe them so much. We Europeans are most arrogant species on earth. And to cure this we have to face the truth.
