The US government borrows $6B (six thousand million dollars) PER DAY just to function. Every day. 7 days per week. 365 days per year. With no end in sight. How much do you borrow per day to function? This is THE elephant in the room. The problem that almost no one talks about and no one even tries to solve. You will read this post and scroll on. Continuing to ignore the elephant. The problem is ignoring it only makes it worse. If we don’t solve it proactively it will solve itself. Ponzi schemes have a way of doing that. In 10 to 15 years massive Social Security, Medicaid and Military Budget cuts will be necessary. The money will simply not be there to fund social ponzi schemes at their current level. Taxes will be raised. More inflation. More loss of purchasing power. Less global power to influence our interests as a nation. A lower quality of life. This doesn’t have to happen. Only $500B per year in cuts could solve the problem. Musk tried. DOGE tried. This is why Musk had a falling out with President Trump. LOOK AT THE ELEPHANT! 👀The US brings in $5T and spends $7T per year. It is $38T in debt. It borrows $2T ($6B per day) per year and spends $1T of it on INTEREST payments. In 1997 Newt Gingrich’s contract with America - a balanced budget amendment failed to pass the senate by ONE VOTE. Several Democrats STILL serving in congress voted against it. They voted against it because they wanted unlimited funds to fuel their fraud, money laundering, greed and power. Which is exactly what they got - at our expense. Here we are 30 years later and we are just now realizing just how pervasive their fraud is. There was no need for deficit spending. The deficit was all used for FRAUD. All of it. We were had by a government Ponzi scheme and we are left with an elephant in the room the size of Minnesota slowly crushing us to death. Oh and the problem gets WORSE every day not better. The US borrows more today than it did yesterday. Rand Paul is one of the few that occasionally glances up at the elephant. He points at it like a child. What is that? Is anyone else seeing this? It’s kinda scary. No one listens to him. They are too occupied with power and profit - with becoming millionaires and maintaining power into their 90’s. Too busy sucking the nation dry like vampires.

Lol. Are you serious? 😂😂😂 This is astrology-level dumbfuckery. The values don’t even align on the left and right axis. The real problem is not CPI - which does not even compare the same basket of items in these tow eras - it is borrowing $6,000,000,000 every single day of the year, increasing every day to pay interest on that borrowing. Oil prices will come down. Inflation will not.

@RealEJAntoni I see what you are doing here. You are documenting the three waves of the 1970s and overlaying it with current trends and demonstrating how we are on track to repeat this. BRILLIANT!

@RealEJAntoni @jeffreytucker So 50 months of elevated CPI according to astrology-level prediction model by…Ph.D?

@ForgiatoBlow47 @Riverhawk617 Israeli Derangement Syndrome (IDS) is the leading cause of TDS among former Trump supporters.

TDS

Okay, this is my favorite Trump post of all time - 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂been laughing hard for 5 minutes. Annihilated the losers.

@TheEconomist The US should not defend countries that do not hold our values - protecting basic human rights like freedom of speech. NATO should require members to adopt and uphold the US Bill of Rights. Choose sides.

The war in Iran has pushed NATO closer than ever to a point of no return. If the transatlantic marriage dissolves, Europeans will have to be ready to defend themselves economist.com/leaders/2026/0…

@TheEconomist The US controls the skies and the sea and the straight. Iran has been decapitated. The region will never be the same. The Iranian people win and are dancing in the streets.

It is premature to adjudicate whether Iran or America won the war. What is clear, though, is that Gulf states have suffered some of the heaviest losses economist.com/briefing/2026/…

@RealHickory @dbongino IDS (Israeli Derangement Syndrome) has led to TDS in many conservatives. This is a gift. Purging the party of fringe lunatics is exactly what MAGA needs.

BREAKING: "Alex Jones is full of shit!"✌️😂

@1cryptokaraoke @Real_RobN The story doesn’t end at Iran’s tribunal requesting payment. It’s all there - or at least it was there 10 years ago when I spent a few hours reading the tribunals. Media ignores it and writes their own version of the truth.

Here is the truth the Democrats don’t want to talk about: how we got here. President Trump rips into the world’s number-one sponsor of terror—jihadist Barack Obama. “I never knew a president had that power…” “Nobody has ever seen anything like it. Two planes loaded from floor to ceiling—big planes, Boeing 757s—were taken over there and given cash. In addition to that, he was giving them billions of dollars. But worse, he was giving them the right to have a path to a nuclear weapon.” So, fuck you—-to every single Democrat member of Congress.

@MarkGPatterson @ShadowofEzra Are the Jews that hurt you in the room with you now? Do you walk among normal people or is this written from within a mental institution? How did you type this while wearing a straight jacket? Did you type this with your nose?

Theory: The Butler "assassination" was an Israeli staged campaign prop to get their Zionist agent Trump into the White House. Fight! Fight! Fight! If so, Trump was COMPLETELY IN ON IT and had to fake the bloody ear etc. People died for this campaign prop. Trump would spend the rest of his miserable life in prison if this was exposed. This is why Israel owns Trump -- more so than the teenage girls from the Epstein operation.

Some narrow-minded conservatives have developed Israeli Derangement Syndrome, or IDS. They blame Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu for nearly everything, including assassination attempts on President Trump, echoing Tucker Carlson and Joe Kent. This goes beyond fair policy debate. It veers into antisemitic scapegoating that weakens conservatism and distracts from real threats like open borders, radical Islam, and domestic decline. Legitimate criticism of foreign aid or specific policies is valid. America must always put its interests first. But painting Israel as a puppet master pulling strings against the United States ignores decades of mutual benefits and turns a reliable partner into an all-purpose villain. Israel has delivered major value to U.S. security and technology. Israeli intelligence sharing has given America critical insights on terrorism and Iran that have foiled plots and protected troops. Former U.S. Air Force Intelligence chief General George Keegan called Israeli intelligence worth more than five CIAs. Israeli innovations have directly saved American lives. The Israeli Emergency Bandage became standard issue for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trophy Active Protection Systems now shield American Abrams tanks. Iron Fist systems protect Bradleys. These battle-tested tools improve U.S. military capabilities without requiring American troops to test them in every conflict. Technologically, Israel serves as a high-return partner. American companies like Intel, Microsoft, and Google run major research centers there, driving advances in semiconductors, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. Many Intel processors trace heavy design work to Israel. Joint missile defense programs like Iron Dome have strengthened U.S. defenses while creating American jobs. Strategically, the United States has used Israel as a force multiplier in the Middle East, not the reverse. Israel deters Iranian expansion, counters shared enemies, and has conducted strikes on nuclear sites in Iraq and Syria that aligned with U.S. goals of nonproliferation without direct American involvement. This partnership allows America to project power and maintain influence with fewer permanent troop deployments. Claims that Israel drags America into wars ignore the reality. The alliance has helped contain threats, share intelligence, and apply lessons from the battlefield so U.S. forces face fewer surprises. When ceasefires occur under leaders like President Trump, they reflect pragmatic strength focused on American interests, not conspiracy. Conservatives with IDS should focus on facts instead of shadows. A strong Israel enhances U.S. security, delivers technological edges, and reduces the need for larger American interventions. Scapegoating a key partner divides the movement and echoes the identity politics conservatives reject elsewhere. True conservatism prioritizes realism, reciprocity, and alliances that strengthen America, not derangement that weakens resolve against genuine threats.

Tucker Carlson hints that the first assassination attempt on President Trump was planned and covered up by Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. Citing Joe Kent, Tucker says the investigation into that assassination attempt was immediately closed before any foreign involvement could be uncovered. Tucker also says “good guys” in the government are secretly fighting Israel but are overwhelmed by its influence and power.

1The Economist Misses Again: Trump’s Ceasefire Is a Masterstroke, Not a Loss 2The Economist claims that if a ceasefire ends the Iran conflict, Donald Trump would be the biggest loser because he supposedly wants an exit. This framing is backwards and reveals more about their bias than about reality. Trump has long promised to end endless wars, protect American interests, and avoid unnecessary foreign entanglements. A successful ceasefire that stops the fighting while advancing U.S. goals is exactly the kind of pragmatic outcome he has championed. 3History shows that smart leadership often involves knowing when to de-escalate rather than escalate indefinitely. Trump’s approach has consistently been America First: maximum pressure on adversaries like Iran through sanctions and strength, followed by deals that deliver results without wasting American blood and treasure. If a ceasefire prevents broader war, secures key concessions, and keeps the region from spiraling into chaos that could drag in U.S. forces, that is a clear win for American security and taxpayers, not a defeat. 4The notion that Trump “wants an exit” as some hidden weakness ignores his record. He brokered the Abraham Accords, took out Soleimani, and confronted Iran without starting new wars. Contrast that with previous administrations that either appeased Iran with cash pallets or stumbled into prolonged conflicts. Trump’s strategy has been deterrence through strength, not endless occupation. A ceasefire under his leadership would likely include verifiable limits on Iran’s nuclear program, missile capabilities, and proxy terrorism, outcomes that endless bombing campaigns have failed to achieve. 5Labeling Trump the loser in a scenario where hostilities wind down assumes that perpetual war somehow benefits America. It does not. The real losers in prolonged Middle East conflicts are American families who pay the costs in dollars and lives, while elites and foreign lobbies push for deeper involvement. Trump has repeatedly called for allies to shoulder more of the burden and for the U.S. to focus on domestic priorities like border security and economic strength. Ending or containing a conflict aligns with putting America first, not some mysterious personal motive. 6The Economist’s celebratory image of Trump with a “Mission Accomplished” banner misses the point in ironic fashion. True mission accomplishment looks like reduced threats to U.S. allies and interests, a contained Iran, and no new American wars. If Pakistan or other actors play constructive roles in peacemaking, that is diplomacy at work, not a failure. Trump has always favored tough negotiations backed by leverage, not blank-check commitments or virtue-signaling interventions. 7In the end, peace through strength is not a loss. It is the responsible alternative to the cycle of escalation that has defined much of U.S. foreign policy for decades. If a ceasefire holds and delivers tangible benefits without compromising security, it validates Trump’s long-standing critique of forever wars. The biggest losers would actually be those who profit from conflict or who refuse to acknowledge that restraint and realism can serve American interests better than ideological crusades. Trump’s focus remains on delivering results for the American people, whether through decisive action or strategic de-escalation.

If the ceasefire marks the end of the Iran war, the biggest loser will be Donald Trump. There is a reason he wants an exit. Register for free to learn what it is: econ.st/3Q0gHy3

1The Economist Gets It Exactly Backwards: Why History Actually Proves MAGA Right 2The claim by The Economist that the greatest civilizations of the past 3,000 years were the opposite of MAGA overlooks the core drivers that built those societies. Strong leadership, national pride, cultural confidence, and a willingness to defend borders and values were not weaknesses. They formed the foundations of endurance and achievement. 3Ancient Rome did not rise through open borders and globalist policies. It expanded through military strength, clear hierarchies, a shared Roman identity, and a pragmatic focus on law, order, and infrastructure that benefited its own citizens first. When Rome later weakened its cohesion by diluting citizenship, inviting mass migrations without assimilation, and prioritizing elite cosmopolitanism over the core population, decline followed. That pattern repeated across history. 4Classical Greece thrived in city-states that fiercely guarded their independence and identity. Athens and Sparta were not multicultural utopias. They emphasized civic duty, physical fitness, intellectual rigor tied to their own heritage, and defense against outsiders. Golden ages emerged from internal unity and competition among similar peoples, not from dissolving distinctions. 5The idea of MAGA simply means putting ones own country and its people first, a principle that has powered successful nations for millennia. Every enduring civilization, from the Persians under Cyrus to the British Empire at its height to the early American republic, operated on sovereignty, security, and prosperity for its founding stock. They built walls, enforced laws, celebrated their traditions, and invested in their own futures rather than subsidizing the world at their expense. 6Historical golden ages rarely begin with weakness or self-doubt. They start with renewal, a rejection of prior decline, and a recommitment to the principles that made the society strong. Rome under Augustus restored order after chaos. America after its founding turned a wilderness into a superpower by embracing limited government, individual liberty, secure borders, and a common culture. The notion that greatness comes from the opposite of self-preservation ignores how every civilization that lost its will to survive eventually fell. 7The image of a key dropping into a hole over ancient ruins is dramatic but historically shallow. Civilizations do not end because they become too focused on their own greatness. They crumble when they abandon the traits that created it: demographic continuity, cultural confidence, fiscal responsibility, and the courage to say no to forces that erode the core. Modern examples of rapid decline often involve exactly the policies The Economist seems to favor, such as unchecked migration, identity politics, and elite detachment from the average citizen. 8In reality, movements that echo MAGA principles, national sovereignty, economic protection for workers, rejection of endless foreign wars, and cultural preservation, have correlates in every successful era. The opposite approach, dissolving national identity in favor of abstract global ideals, has more often marked the beginning of the end, from the late Western Roman Empire to certain phases of other once-mighty powers. True golden ages are built by peoples who believe in themselves enough to fight for their future, not by those who apologize for their past. 9The greatest lesson from 3,000 years of history is not that civilizations succeeded by being the opposite of putting their own house in order. It is that they flourished when they did exactly that, with clear leadership, pride in their achievements, and the determination to pass on a stronger society to the next generation. Any argument suggesting otherwise rewrites the past to fit a present-day ideology rather than learning from what actually worked.

The greatest civilisations of the past 3,000 years were the opposite of MAGA economist.com/culture/2025/0…

BREAKING 🚨 Elon Musk announced he will buy a Cybertruck for anyone that can provide proof of who wrote this scripted propaganda video that is uploaded by 20+ Dem Senators saying the same thing THIS IS FREAKING HUGE 🔥

While China was busy shipping missile chemicals to Iran and collecting yuan tolls at Hormuz, someone was inside its most sensitive supercomputer stealing everything. CNN reports that a hacker group calling itself FlamingChina breached the China National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin and exfiltrated up to 10 petabytes of classified defence data. The samples posted on dark web forums include bomb and missile designs, animated explosion simulations, structural integrity tests, renderings of the J-20 stealth fighter, sixth-generation aircraft concepts, nuclear submarine schematics, hypersonic weapons systems, and target analyses for American assets including HIMARS launchers and carrier strike groups. Ten petabytes. For context, the entire printed collection of the US Library of Congress is approximately 10 terabytes. This breach is one thousand times that volume. It is being sold for cryptocurrency on Breach Forums. Cybersecurity experts who reviewed the previews told CNN the data appears genuine, matching known output patterns from the NSCC Tianjin facility, which serves over 6,000 clients including defence agencies and aviation firms across China. The timing is extraordinary. Trump posted a 50 percent tariff threat on any country supplying military weapons to Iran hours before CNN published this story. Five Chinese vessels shipped sodium perchlorate to Iran from Gaolan Port in the past six weeks, enough propellant precursor for hundreds of ballistic missiles. China’s ghost fleet continues operating through the IRGC’s yuan toll booth at Hormuz. And now the supercomputer that designed the weapons China is helping Iran reconstitute has been gutted by hackers selling its contents for the same cryptocurrency that Iran charges for strait passage. The irony is architectural. China built a parallel financial system using yuan and crypto to bypass the dollar at Hormuz. A hacker group is now using crypto to bypass Chinese state security and sell Beijing’s most classified military designs to anyone with a wallet address. The same technology that enables sanction evasion enables espionage monetisation. The blockchain does not distinguish between a toll payment and a weapons leak. It processes both. For Xi, this is a catastrophe arriving at the worst possible moment. Bessent’s mid-May Beijing summit was already going to be difficult. Trump holds the waiver on 140 million barrels of Chinese-bound Iranian crude. The 50 percent tariff threat targets China’s arms pipeline. The IDF just destroyed 100 Hezbollah targets using F-35I aircraft with Israeli software upgrades the Pentagon approved today. And now the classified designs for China’s most advanced military systems, the systems that justify the rare earth monopoly and the South China Sea posture and the Taiwan coercion campaign, are available for purchase on a dark web forum for less than the price of a single Hormuz transit. If the data is genuine, every adversary and ally of China can now reverse-engineer the capabilities Beijing spent decades and hundreds of billions developing. The J-20’s stealth profile. The hypersonic glide vehicle’s trajectory calculations. The nuclear submarine’s acoustic signature. The sixth-generation fighter’s sensor architecture. All of it, priced in crypto, available now. China wanted to build a post-dollar world. A hacker group just demonstrated what that world looks like when the technology works in both directions. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

🚨🚨 FBI and our partners have arrested a former SOCOM employee, who supported our top-level military warfighters, for allegedly transmitting classified information to a member of the media. Outstanding work by @FBICharlotte and the FBI Counterintelligence & Espionage Division - as well as our @TheJusticeDept partners. Let this serve as a message to any would-be leakers: we’re working these cases, and we’re making arrests. This FBI will not tolerate those who seek to betray our country and put Americans in harm’s way.

This is possibly the most alarming act of treason since the Lincoln assassination. For an outgoing president to engineer a coup against a succeeding president is unthinkable in America. I knew Tulsi Gabbard would be the most effective Cabinet member.
