@Ksidiii It started out so negative, it can only improve. In a year, it will be considered a wise move.

I have a lot of followers across the world so I’m extremely curious to see how this poll does. Narrative framing has become such a key weapon in American politics over the last 10 years (even more than before). When it comes to this situation in Iran:

The security line at LaGuardia this morning was unbelievably long. As a result, I missed my flight to visit my elderly mother. But if disruptions like this are a consequence of congressional efforts to help ensure masked and unidentified ICE agents can’t kill civilians with impunity, it’s a small price to pay. (… and thank you to the TSA agents who showed up for work despite not being paid.)

Nobody wants to see war escalate. Lives being lost is never something that should be promoted to be pursued. However, as a taxpaying American citizen, if Trump does pull back, I do think there needs to be a complete rethinking of how the U.S. defense system and its budget is run. Trillions of dollars in taxpayer money, advanced technology, Palantir this and that, all the chest pumping buzz words and we end up caving to a third world country with no real defense system guarding a small passage in the Middle East.

With mass immigration, 6% will grow to 20 or 30. They will vote in laws that allow more Muslim immigration. There will be no way to stop it. They do not believe in western ideals of tolerance or rule of law. This has happened in every area Islam has taken root. People are already being arrested for blasphemy.

There is a solution to stabilizing the debt: high-skilled immigration. It feels "nice" to use a family-sponsorship immigration model. But we must deal with the fiscal problems here at home. A talent-based immigration model will bring in ONLY those who contribute to our economy. @DanielDiMartino did the math, which @RepDavid shared on the House floor today. Worth the watch:

Please demand and release all internship application/hiring information from big tech. The discrimination against whites is extreme. Interns are as little as 15% white. This is orchestrated in many ways: -creating race-based channels for recruitment using racial proxies. -automatic hiring of interns recruited through these channels -partnerships with race-based 'coding camps' -interviewer training that recommends using 'diversity' as a hiring criteria. -mass emails from management highlighting the importance of increasing non-white employment, despite whites being a minority at the company. -Employee Resource Groups which act as an extension of HR/recruiting. Jobs are posted in race-specific job boards. -conversion of the largely non-white intern base to full time, which happens concurrently with laying off substantially whiter full time employees in the SAME areas and SAME jobs. This is done, in part, to achieve racial demographic goals.

Planned Parenthood of Illinois will pay $500,000 to end EEOC investigation over DEI-related race-based segregation, harassment, and disparate treatment. White employees were subjected to derogatory and race-based harassment during mandatory, segregated DEI trainings on a weekly basis—including messages that they “are white and do not feel racism the same way non-white patients feel" and that “white supremacy is exerted at every level of oppression (individual, interpersonal, organizational, and societal).” In addition, white employees were unlawfully denied paid time off granted to black employees. The @USEEOC is committed to fully utilizing all statutory tools to fulfill the agency’s mission of protecting every American worker from unlawful discrimination.

@emmma_camp_ @WSJFreeEx We have seen nearly every word from 'abuse', 'pedophile', 'genocide', 'grooming', 'trafficking' quickly get rendered meaningless and weaponized against innocent people for doing normal things. We need language to combat this. word-crime?

I wrote about the weakest attempted MeToo-ing in recent history for @WSJFreeEx It's not 'grooming' for two 20-somethings to go on a few dates. And it is neither empowering nor particularly feminist to view women as perpetual schoolgirls, unable to consent to any romantic relationship that has a whiff of power imbalance.

I understand that new neighborhoods will not be mature enough to have wonderful canopy trees, duh. But why are they (basically) not planting any trees at all? I think I see four or five baby trees? A new neighborhood rarely looks good, but ones like this will NEVER look good.

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.
