She's really not up to the task. Doesn't matter her identity. She just makes up stuff to satisfy her feelings. Her written rulings are painful to read. She can't hide behind her identity and have people like you use that as an excuse for her failings on the court. She's a smart person, just not smart enough to sit on the highest Court in the country.

The meltdown over Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is truly something EVERYONE needs to pay attention to. You see, as the first & only black woman to ever serve on the court, she had to be 10 times better than most… She continues to flex her brilliance in oral arguments & many dissents. Please note that by the time a black woman ascends to a powerful position, she Definitely Earned It… if you have any questions… let’s talk about Senator, now Secretary Mullin… or please pull the resumes of some of the other justices before entering this chat… actually just don’t, it’s not a debate, these are FACTS (alternative facts = LIES).

@Andrevin20 @FischerKing64 First, it's being abjudicated as we speak. Certainly if we had a sane Democrat party it would be changed. But we don't. So unless the court acts (doubtful), we'll just have to live with the damage.

The SCOTUS birthright citizenship case will bring much into focus. The very idea is stupid beyond belief, and is being openly exploited with birth tourism - which is used to subvert us. But do 9 old lawyers have a finger in a rule book and a hand in their crotch? And if they do - should we go along with a suicidal ruling? Really - if SCOTUS tells us birthright citizenship is ‘the law of the land,’ which would mean a Chinese woman who plans birth in San Diego can pump out a bonafide American citizen - do we do along with that? The implications are terribly destructive. It would mean someone born in San Diego but raised in Beijing is as American as apple pie - doesn’t need a visa to study at Stanford. Spying would be a lot easier. If SCOTUS doesn’t get this, isn’t moved by the open reality - it’s an institution that has had its time.

Let’s be real here. Europe has spent decades freeloading on American security. Even now, with every NATO member finally hitting the 2% GDP target in 2025. But beyond the financial contributions, the real rupture is philosophical and the Iran crisis has shown a spotlight on it. Europe worships process. Endless committees, consultations, and “predictability.” Macron actually calls it a virtue. For Trump, this is paralysis as his style is to articulate a threat, fix a target, and act. The Americans are men of conviction and purpose. Europe on the other hand lives by bureaucratic liturgy and in high-minded abstractions. Sure, Americans might make mistakes when acting. But Europe never considers what the costs of not acting actually are. Just look at how their nations are doing on various fronts, especially on the border crisis, and you see the same cancerous rot that undergirds their foreign policy approach play out domestically. It's the same problem on a different scale. Iran is currently holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, choking 20% of global oil and spiking prices past $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, the regime is bleeding from strikes, its nuclear ambitions are still alive despite degraded capability, and its proxies are firing missiles at allies and oil tankers. If this isn’t a clear and present danger to the global economy - of which Europe is a part - then I don’t know what is. Yet when Washington asked to use European bases to finish the job - bases the US has defended for generations, the response was hesitation and hand-wringing. The US did strike from RAF Fairford, but only after warnings that British soil could become a “legitimate target.” If you cannot agree that a theocratic regime with eschatological ambitions who have shown no restraint in hitting out at Gulf countries and threatening the world’s energy jugular is an enemy worth confronting, then what, exactly, are we allies about? Europe loves to preen about being tough on Russia. They issue condemnations and speeches and slap sanctions that hardly work to cripple the Russian economy. Now here was a chance to do something concrete: let the Americans use the bases they already pay for, help clear the Strait, and actually degrade the Iranian war machine that arms Moscow’s proxies. Turmp didn’t ask for boots on the ground or any kind of more offensive action. All he wanted was permission to operate from the infrastructure America has underwritten for decades. They couldn’t even manage that. So can you blame the Americans for seeing NATO for what it is? A paper-tiger alliance that expects Washington to bleed and pay while Brussels and London convenes and deliberates. If Europe refuses to treat Iran as the threat it is while happily letting American power keep the Strait open and the lights on, then the alliance is already dead. Trump is simply stating the obvious and the Americans are becoming very reluctant to subsidize the European delusion any longer.

@MsMelChen @S___Elliott But Trump can't acknowledge that due to his personal (much of it justified at a personal level) hatred of Zelenskyy. But he needs to put our country over his personal beefs.

Well written and argued. I wish I could have done as well. I have been hesitant to declare the alliance with Europe dead. I sincerely hope it can be repaired, but that hope dims by the day. The US and Europe share Western Civilization together, but the chasm between the two may only grow with time instead of seeing our shared humanity.

A convicted felon is sitting in the front row at the Supreme Court to try and intimidate justices to rule in his favor on a blatantly unconstitutional executive order.

Hey genius, except for Canada, which is both developed and has a generous welfare system, no other developed rich country in the world with generous welfare systems has unrestricted birthright citizenship. None. I'm excluding the US because the Supreme Court is reviewing this right now. But hey, if you're clamoring to have your children live in Ecuador go ahead and book a ticket there and start a family. So yes, no sane developed country with a generous welfare system (like the US has) would have unrestricted birthright citizenship. It would eventually bankrupt you. Learn some economics and basic math.

@ChapChaeMasters @FischerKing64 It’s literally the law of every country in the western hemisphere save Colombia. But everything is “insane” and “scary” when you’re a retard that is learning basic civics for the first time.

私がアメリカ人と仲良くしてると、左翼は「アメリカの犬!」と侮辱してくる。 左翼は日本とアメリカが仲良くなるのが嫌だから。 日本の左翼の母体は中国にあると思う。 だから、日米同盟も否定してくるし、アメリカ人との仲を引き裂こうとしてくる。

He’s a mobster. If he does this, he’s doing it to sit there and try to intimidate the Supreme Court justices. He’s a horrible, destructive, dangerous ass. He’s also cognitively impaired. 25th Amendment.

@WayneWaldropW He knows Massie is a narcissist that has accomplished nothing in his entire congressional career and prefers being an obstructionist instead of working meticulously in building a coalition that can actually get something done.

The timing of Deep State Dan Bongino's attack against Thomas Massie is not a coincidence. Deep State Dan is threatened by the success of the Massie Moneybomb. He knows that every penny of that $350,000+ was from real Americans that want to see the Deep State dismantled.

Rob Henderson@robkhenderson·
The people most committed to communism in the Soviet Union weren’t the workers—it was the educated elite. A retrospective study conducted in the 1990s titled "Work Ethics and the Collapse of the Soviet System," examined which groups were most supportive of the Soviet system. The researchers found that, compared to factory workers and semi-skilled laborers, individuals in white-collar positions—especially those with higher levels of education—were significantly more likely to express loyalty to the Communist Party. In some cases, support was two to three times higher among elites. In other words, the strongest support for the system came not from those at the bottom, but from those in relatively advantaged positions within it. This runs counter to the common assumption that egalitarian or redistributive ideologies are primarily driven by the least well-off. In practice, they are often most strongly endorsed by people closer to the top of the social hierarchy—those who benefit from the system’s institutional structure, or who are positioned to navigate it successfully.

@SRimmerAZ @TheJFreakinC Doesn't negate that the smart thing to do is roll down your window and show your ID. Has everyone lost basic common sense?

The driver demonstrated a willingness to comply by pulling over. But then it wasn't a police officer. It was an ICE agent with a gun pulled. ICE has no jurisdiction over US Citizens. All law enforcement has jurisdiction that places boundaries on where, when and against whom they can operate. The ICE agent said, "I don't know who you are." That is all the ICE agent had to say to admit that he was raising his gun without knowing if he had jurisdiction. The ICE agent needs to know he has jurisdiction or he has to stand down.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents, working with state police, pulled over a vehicle, in Ogden, Utah… and smashed their car window because he wouldn’t roll it down all the way. Watch the shift… because this is where it goes from aggressive to completely out of control. The driver already has the window partially open. The ICE agent is yelling, giving a countdown, threatening to break the window… while another officer is trying to open the door from the other side. No explanation, or clear threat… Just escalation. Then, someone inside says, “I’m a U.S. citizen… you pointed a gun at me.” And that’s the moment everything changes. Instead of pulling back… instead of correcting… instead of even acknowledging it… The ICE agent snaps. “I don’t give a shit who you are, I don’t know you.” And then he immediately escalates further… raises the metal bar… and starts hitting the window… doubling down on force. A person says you pointed a gun at them… and your response is not to de-escalate… It’s to get MORE aggressive. That’s retaliation. They call them “non-compliant”… and within seconds, the window is smashed and the driver is dragged out. And it doesn’t stop there. The passenger… who is recording… gets told to “stay there” while the officer puts his hand on his gun. He responds, “I’m recording for my safety.” The officer shuts the door on him anyway. When he opens it again and steps out… and then the officer physically shoves him back into the car. This is what needs to be understood… The escalation didn’t come from a threat. It came the second someone spoke up… the second someone said, “you pointed a gun at me”… The second someone started documenting it. That’s when it got worse. That’s when it turned physical. That’s when the window broke. And that’s what should alarm people… because that’s not about safety anymore. That’s about being challenged… and responding with more force.

Dino and his team scaled @saronic faster than any defense company to date. He’s delivered hundreds of autonomous vessels to the US Navy, redefining naval autonomy, and the fastest-built big ships since WWII. Now, we’re scaling. I’m proud to have helped them create the company out of @8vc Build. Thanks to the talent and lessons around Palantir and @elonmusk and others, and leadership from men like Dino and his team, USA’s Freedom’s Forge is back.
Dino Mavrookas@MavrookasD

Today we’re sharing some big news. @Saronic closed a $1.75B Series D fundraise at a $9.25B valuation, led by @kleinerperkins. Honestly, it’s a bit surreal to look back at how much has happened in such a short time. We started with a simple belief: the maritime world was being overlooked, and autonomy could change that in a big way. Since then, it’s been a lot of time on the water, building, testing, breaking things, fixing them, and doing it all over again — just trying to move fast and get better every step of the way. What makes me most proud though isn’t the milestone, it’s the team behind it. Saronic is what it is because of people who genuinely care about what we’re building and who push hard every day to do it right. That’s the part that really matters. This next chapter is about scaling up — faster builds, bigger footprints, and continuing to invest in American shipbuilding in a real way. We’ve got a lot of work ahead, and that’s the exciting part. Grateful to everyone who’s been part of this, from our team, to our investors and partners, and to our customers. Let's go!
