@ibaird @Osint613 Dude. You can go live in China. Like no joke you can go live there. Good luck!

@Osint613 The USA is a sick, ignorant country. They have not understood yet that no country can hope to survive long independently without the others. The future requires a we cooperate with China otherwise we die. End of story.

NYP Reporter: Prior to boarding Air Force One to depart Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation disposed of every item provided to them by their Chinese hosts. Gifts, badges, pins, and commemorative items were all dumped into a trash bin on site. The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft. The precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members had left all personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of the trip.

@AdamSchefter Oh no. They hire another ghey

ESPN has named Mike Foss to succeed the retiring David Roberts as Executive Vice President. Foss’ new duties will include oversight of ESPN’s news operation.

@WSJ Lmao. Green California ships oil halfway across the world to claim they care about the environment instead of just drilling in their own state

A supertanker docked in Long Beach just delivered California’s last incoming shipment of Middle Eastern oil, a milestone for drivers already paying the nation’s highest fuel prices. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4uKPGOg

@AdamSchefter The cowboys just put Pittsburgh in the cuck chair in their own city!

The Thursday night draft trade between the Cowboys and Eagles. The Pick Is In - 7PM ET on ESPN and The ESPN App.

@ImKingGinger Some good points. But maybe you should sit this one out if you are using Chuck E. Cheese and toys r us as sustainable successful business models.

Here's what the brands who actually figured this out did differently. McDonald's didn't sell parents on the nutritional value of the Happy Meal. Chuck E. Cheese didn't pitch "a safe dining environment for families." Toys R Us didn't run ads about responsible toy budgeting. All three of them went straight to the kid and let the kid drag the parent through the door. Bentkey went straight to the parent and forgot the kid entirely. The gap between what they sold, what kids wanted, and what they actually delivered is genuinely embarrassing when you put it side by side. They became the Netflix at Home Meme.

An infographic about the Daily Wire layoffs. Daily Wire risked a lot on Bentkey, and it failed because they sold the wrong person. Here's what I mean. I've spent 15 years inside the conservative / faith baed streaming business. I talk to investors, I talk to other founders, I pitch content, raise capital and I watch what works and what doesn't. And the single biggest mistake I see over and over again in the faith and conservative media space is that they market their products to the parent and forget the kid is actually the customer. Kids' entertainment doesn't work like adult entertainment. A 35-year-old man decides he wants to watch a documentary and he opens an app and he pays for it. That's a one-step transaction. Kids' entertainment is a two-step transaction. Step one: the kid sees something and wants it. Step two: the parent pays for it. If you skip step one, you don't get step two. You just get a parent who subscribed once for ideological reasons and never renewed because her kid kept asking for Bluey. Bentkey skipped step one entirely. I know because Jeremy Boreing said so himself. He told The Christian Post the problem he was solving was that "parents can't trust any of the platforms out there." Not that kids didn't have great shows. Not that children were underserved creatively. The problem he identified was parental anxiety. So that's what he built for. And look, I get it. If you're conservative and you're watching Disney pump ideology into every frame of every show, parental anxiety is real and it's a legitimate market pain point. But anxiety is a reason to subscribe once. Joy is a reason to subscribe forever. Kids will beg their parents to keep a subscription they love. They will not beg for a subscription their parents chose for political reasons. McDonald's figured this out in 1979. Chuck E. Cheese figured it out in 1977. Toys R Us ran a jingle for 40 years because kids sang it, not because parents agreed with the values it represented. The kid is the customer. The parent is the wallet. You have to sell the kid first. Bentkey gave kids Chip Chilla, some redubbed European cartoons from 2015, and a French tween fantasy show. None of those kids were begging for any of that. The parents paid $99 to feel safe. The kids asked for Bluey. Nobody renewed. I made a 10-card breakdown of all of this. The Boreing quote alone is worth reading.

@chamath Yeah. I don’t live in California. So I will not have to fill that out. Just move already bro. Sorry you voted for this

As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth. That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed. Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly. And this is where the form below comes in... In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties. As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.

@Espngreeny Still can’t believe this dude threw his co host under the bus.

If you think about it, the entire draft process is just a seemingly endless series of questions. Tonight, finally, we get the answers. We’ll see you then, live from Pittsburgh, for the #nfldraft on ESPN.

@tushar_naya @DeptofWar I remember my first beer

@DeptofWar What has US achieved from this war ? 1. Lost it's crown as the only superpower in the world. 2. Lost credibility with all GCC nations as their defender. 3. Opened the Gateway for Yuan as the international currency & ended the 75yr hagemony of US$. 4. No US President ever had 1/3

Overnight, U.S. forces carried out a maritime interdiction and right-of-visit boarding of the sanctioned stateless vessel M/T Majestic X transporting oil from Iran, in the Indian Ocean within the INDOPACOM area of responsibility. We will continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks and interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate. International waters cannot be used as a shield by sanctioned actors. The Department of War will continue to deny illicit actors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain.

@McShay13 You have 725k followers and got zero comments and one retweet? Wut.

Tuduum!

@NSFWM8 @mdotjacks25 @zerohedge Who is “we” I don’t want our government owning private companies. You bot.

@Brunie_boy1 @mdotjacks25 @zerohedge Lol yeah keep dreaming we don't own those companies but hey go off

WSJ: Tehran had initially told mediators that it would send a delegation to Pakistan Tuesday for talks but later informed them that the U.S. would have to lift its blockade on Iran ports, according to officials. President Trump said he wants to make sure the threat from Iran ends, even if it means the war doesn’t wrap up quickly. “I have all the time in the world,” he said. Meanwhile, the U.S. is continuing its blockade of Iranian ports in response to Iran’s efforts to choke off commercial maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

@NSFWM8 @mdotjacks25 @zerohedge Yes. Bot. That is what capitalism is. That’s why we have enough production to export more oil. I just defeated a bot. Not going to wait any more time rubbing it in.

@Brunie_boy1 @mdotjacks25 @zerohedge All the oil we have is owned by private companies Ill chalk this up to trolling 🧌

@NSFWM8 @mdotjacks25 @zerohedge Yes say that again. We a a net exporter of oil. Meaning we export more than we import. Maybe if you say it tens times it will melt into your brain. Koolaid man.

Bro, our country is a net exporter of oil, and it's all owned by private companies. What are you talking about? You're just regurgitating mainstream media talking points. The oil in Venezuela is a wash; they don't have the infrastructure in place to serve us with any immediacy when it comes to our current situation.

@NSFWM8 @mdotjacks25 @zerohedge Bro. I’m not from that shithole area of Europe lmao. We are Americans here. We produce our own energy and we have control of Venezuela now too. Nice try

@Brunie_boy1 @mdotjacks25 @zerohedge Not getting it from Europe, russia , iran or China so I ask again where ?

@RealNickMugalli @DeItaone No the us realized they don’t need to fire another shot to have Iran call uncle

IRAN'S TASNIM: CONTINUATION OF A NAVAL BLOCKADE AMOUNTS TO CONTINUED HOSTILITY; AS LONG AS THE BLOCKADE PERSISTS, IRAN WILL AT LEAST NOT REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, AND IF NECESSARY, IT WILL BREAK THE BLOCKADE BY FORCE

@NSFWM8 @mdotjacks25 @zerohedge No. You’re missing the point. Once those wells are shut they can NEVER get back to the same capacity. The western world will find additional energy and oil. Just more expensive. Iran will permanently lose their capacity

@Brunie_boy1 @mdotjacks25 @zerohedge At least they will have it your missing the point it isnt about money is about keeping western society powered
