Strategy's Bitcoin buying pace is INSANE: Strategy: Average Bitcoin Purchased Per Week 2020: 1,348 BTC/week 2021: 1,034 BTC/week 2022: 156 BTC/week 2023: 1,086 BTC/week 2024: 4,920 BTC/week 2025: 4,336 BTC/week 2026 YTD: 7,649 BTC/week The machine is operating at WARP SPEED with STRC still in its infancy. Mind blowing stat: They are accumulating Bitcoin 49x FASTER than the last Bitcoin bear market. If Strategy keeps this same pace, they reach 1 million Bitcoin in October. They will speed up and likely hit that milestone in August or September.

@joekent16jan19 @scotthortonshow It’s really a shame your public reach is as strong as it is. You’re a priors reinforcer.

Step 1 in deescalation must be restraining the Israelis, otherwise all efforts to negotiate will follow this pattern: POTUS publicly announces deescalation. Israel takes major strikes to destroy the negotiations & in turn weaken our ability to negotiate. The war accelerates.

@RepNancyMace @NancyMace Disingenuous framing

Are you willing for your kid to die to lower the price of oil?

A woman steps in front of an ICE agent. Screaming. Blocking the arrest. Calling him names. The man being arrested had warrants. Sex crimes. She didn’t care. Through her lens he was an innocent victim of the white patriarchy. The agent was a fascist Nazi. She was mommy — and mommy protects. You wonder how a person gets there. It didn’t start on that street. It started freshman year. A syllabus. A worldview handed to her as fact: Men are inherently violent and oppressive. Women are nurturing earth mothers — they bring goodness and fairness, make sure everyone has enough to eat. Authority is fascism. Immigrants need her protection. Wilson says the movement documented this openly — in their own writing. Young women are easy to program — and once indoctrinated, they make excellent revolutionaries. That phrase. Excellent revolutionaries. Rachel Wilson named the machine on JRE #2460. The campus was the factory. The protest is the graduation ceremony. She’s not fighting ICE. She’s completing her coursework.

@Jkylebass @FDNY @FDNYAlerts @SDNYnews @POTUS @SecScottBessent There will be no backlash from the left

@giveashitnature False

How stupid is it that we’re fighting even more wars over oil when we could have spent the same amount of money and transitioned the entire goddamn planet to renewables?

@jstrocchi @HanShawnity When did you start identifying as a panicked loser?

@HanShawnity The Iran war is an operational success & a strategic catastrophe. Iran have the upper hand in key dimensions: 1. Straits of Hormuz closed. 2. GCC oil infrastructure incinerated. 3. CENCOM bases neutralized. 4. Israel cities exposed to on--going missile blitz. 5. Oil price > $150

In more than three weeks of fighting in Iran, we've suffered roughly thirteen deaths, with only seven being from enemy fire. Not only have we completely dismantled their air defense system and proved Chinese and Russian made systems worthless, but we're also slowly obliterating every part of their ballistic missile and nuclear programs, from manufacturing equipment to storage facilities, all the while sustaining extremely minimal casualties. I don't think people realize how impressive this is. This is one of the most successful military operations in history. I'm not minimizing the deaths. Every death is a tragedy. I'm eternally grateful for their sacrifice and am keeping the families in my thoughts. But in the grand scheme of things this is an unbelievable success.

Historian Bill Federer: “They say that by 2030, there will be a majority Muslim population in Europe, and they'll just flat out vote in Sharia law. It won't just be no go zones where they take over entire neighborhoods in Paris or around Belgium and London. No, they'll take over entire cities. And people forget, Egypt was completely Christian for six centuries. It's not anymore. All of North Africa was completely Christian for six centuries. It's not anymore. All of Turkey, all seven churches as mentioned in the book of Revelation, were all in Turkey. And they were all taken over by the Muslim Turks. Constantinople was the largest Christian city in the world, and the largest Christian church in the world for hundreds of years was the Hagia Sophia. And it got turned into a mosque. And so they want to do the same thing with the Vatican. And recently they allowed Muslim prayers in the Vatican. So we see that it's headed in that direction.“

Hi there, Rep. Khanna. Retired Army JAG here & current prof of int'l law. And you are way out of your depth. You should consider sticking to legislating & leaving #LOAC commentary to actual specialists. Like me. Allow me to explain. First off, if a power plant is "dual use," then attacking it is, by definition, NOT an "indiscriminate bombing." Here's why. As DoD Law of War Manual notes, this term is often "used to describe objects that are used by both the armed forces and the civilian population, such as power stations" (pic 1). The Manual also correctly points out this term has no legal significance. Either something qualifies as a military objective such that directing an attack against it is permitted, or it's a civilian object such that it may not be made the object of attack. See the problem yet? That's right! If something is "dual-use," it qualifies as a military objective...and directing an attack against a military objective is, by definition, NOT "indiscriminate" (pic 2). Back to pic 1, the Manual also notes that when attacking "dual-use" objects, "it will be appropriate to consider in applying the principle of proportionality the harm to the civilian population expected to result from the attack on such a military objective." You might notice I emphasized "proportionality" & "expected" there, and I did so because it's a preview to your next massive error. Here's what you claim about proportionality in your 🧵: "Proportionality forbids attacks where expected incidental civilian harm including effects like loss of hospital power, water pumps failing, food spoilage or extreme heat or cold exposure. This is excessive compared to the concrete military gain per Article 51(5)(b)." We'll get to your selection of source (AP I) later. For now, let's focus on how badly you botched the proportionality rule. To describe what the actual rule is supposed to look like, let's go back to the Manual. As it observes, personnel engaged in hostilities "must refrain from attacks in which the expected loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, and damage to civilian objects incidental to the attack would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage expected to be gained" (pic 3). Now, I added bold text to the "expected" at the beginning & end because this highlights your next mistake. Yes you correctly note expected incidental harm is part of the equation, but you left out "expected" on the military advantage component. This is a massive error because you need to be able to tell what the expected incidental harm is & the expected (or anticipated) concrete & direct military advantage is for each attack in order to assess whether the former was "excessive in relation to" the latter. And, do you have any intel indicating what degree of incidental harm AND concrete & direct military advantage is for each attack you purport to be addressing? No, of course you don't. As such, you're not conducting a legitimate proportionality assessment. Which, is easy if you don't properly articulate law. Hell, you can make pretty much anything seem illegal if you can come up with any bullshit articulation of the legal standard you feel like fabricating. But we're not allowed to do that in actual practice. And so, you shouldn't either in public discourse, or else you're creating a false impression that potentially lawful conduct is illegal. And another thing - I noticed you left off the direct part of "concrete & direct military advantage" in your bullshit version of proportionality. That matters because remote harms need not be factored (pic 4). Some prospective harms you mentioned probably are direct enough, but others...not so much. Finally, I also noticed you claim AP I binds 🇺🇸 "as customary international law." But not all of AP I is customary, which is why I draw from the Manual instead. I'll finish off with a simple pro tip: stay in your lane. Leave LOAC analysis to @DeptofWar. And actual experts...like me.

@DBZYuYuYasha @FrankLuntz @tedcruz Even better!

@FrankLuntz @tedcruz Reconciliation means you have to cut somewhere else.

Sen. @TedCruz is proposing splitting off ICE and CBP from the rest of funding for DHS in order to end growing chaos at airports: "Let's fund ICE and CBP through reconciliation. That Republicans can do with just 50 votes, we can do that relatively quickly." thehill.com/homenews/57949…

This is the entire DEM plan - inflict as much pain and chaos on the American people and then look at you with a straight face and say “gee whiz we have no idea how things got this bad must be Republicans crazy huh”

Victor Davis Hanson just said what needed to be said, and he said it with the precision of someone who has spent a lifetime studying how alliances actually work. There are posters circulating right now showing Israeli puppeteers pulling American strings. The implication is that a nation of 11 million is somehow directing the foreign policy of a nation of 340 million. Hanson finds that claim as absurd as it is offensive — and he backs it up with facts. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆. Israel is capable. The major NATO powers — nations of 60, 80, even 80 million people with massive economies — do not have the air capability that tiny Israel brings to the fight. Right now, Israeli aircraft are flying missions every single day alongside American forces, targeting Iran's ability to fund the proxies who have k!lled Americans and to launch missiles that could reach European cities. That is what an ally looks like. Compare that to the formal NATO alliance — the partners we are treaty-bound to defend, the ones who spent decades under-investing in their own militaries while sheltering under the American umbrella, the ones who lecture us about proportionality from a safe distance while contributing little to the fight. Hanson's point is direct: before anyone starts floating antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jews pulling the strings of American power, they should ask themselves which allies are actually showing up.

@DanFmTo @Reuters Maybe in the short term, but in the long term more countries will mobilize against Iran when given additional reason to do so

@3xWolverine @Reuters It helps their cause more than just letting the West destroy them would.

Iran warned it would strike energy and water infrastructure across the Gulf if US President Trump follows through on his threat to attack its electricity grid, raising fears of mass disruption in a region heavily dependent on desalination for drinking water reut.rs/4rN5spS

@ImperiumLedger @GordoCDA @grok how much debt does China have? What’s China’s debt to GDP ratio?

China probably can't beat the US militarily, it doesn't need to. Athens didn't fall to Sparta's army. it fell to the cost of its own imperial overextension. the US is running a $36 trillion debt, fighting a war with no defined endpoint, watching allies hedge, and burning through strategic petroleum reserves. China is watching. Taking notes. And waiting.

Chinas long term strategy to replace the US as the global hegemon was contingent on the US adhering to the “rules based order” and avoiding applying hard military power to protect its interests given Americas war fatigue. China knows it can’t win a direct military confrontation with the US, so its plans relied on a gradual erosion of American strategic power and influence. President Trump has thrown out the post Global War on Terror foreign policy playbook and the Chinese have no idea what to do about it.
