@mtracey Wow, you suck.

Thomas Massie Deserves To Lose mtracey.net/p/thomas-massi…

@IngrahamAngle Because the left is also against stupid Middle East wars?

If Massie is a “true conservative,” then why does everyone on the Left want him to win?

@glorioushurt___ @Kurt22Troy Her entire career was 6 years including the year long layoff between her two losses. She’s like a Royce Gracie type pioneer. Good on her little era, but her career achievements have been dwarfed at this point by Nunes and Shevchenko.

@Kurt22Troy No, her career ended via armbar submission on Gina Carano in 17 seconds. Nothing you say will change that. Also, she lost two fights in her entire MMA career after DOMINATING for how many years ? Sit the fuck down little guy

How her career really ended

@RealAlexJones Even Israel doesn’t blame Iran, and they blame everything on Iran.

I totally agree. This was an Iranian strike.

@firasmodad No, more likely going to cause a backlash.

This guy is going to singlehandedly shame Hollywood into firing Page.

@VegasMusic71 The solution is to re-shore semiconductor manufacturing and do everything possible to not fight a dumb war with China.

Why do libertarians never have solutions ?? Just a fence sitter. Take the dem talking points and say you believe in them. Take the conservative action steps and agenda (that's making our Country great again) and use it when it fits your agenda.

@RyLiberty Dave certainly feeds his own ego, but I think it’s also pretty obvious he gives a ton of credit to people like Scott a lot, and is also occasionally self-deprecating realizing it’s ridiculous that he’s worked himself into this position.

Not for the first few appearances it was all Dave. He didnt do any shout outs and got enormous clap back for it. Then he started to do it. But it was always Dave first. He could have plugged so many people, Ron Paul before he was 90, Dan McAdams etc but its always all Dave. The entire community was like wtf Dave barely knows this shit yet he's the one always asked on. He sat there as a gatekeeper for a decade. It is only because its too complicated for him to steal that he finally yields to Scott.

@EthanLevins2 Hospital, police stations, anything to reduce civilian quality of life.

So what exactly did the U.S. bomb?

@RnaudBertrand Are we sure they’re not going to cause a bunch of problems?

I know I'm unreasonably enthusiastic about wind turbines but I genuinely think people tend to dismiss them a bit too easily. Check this new floating wind turbine China just installed 👇 First of all, it's floating so it's extremely easy to install, like mooring a boat somewhere (ok, fair enough, a bit more complex but still orders of magnitude easier than drilling into the seabed). Secondly, this single turbine is expected to generate approximately 44.65 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity each year. That's enough to power a small town of 24,000 homes. And that's a single turbine. Thirdly it takes zero space. I calculated, this single turbine will produce as much electricity in a year as roughly 71,000 solar panels. At ~2m² per panel that's about 142,000 m² of surface area... replaced by one floating turbine 70 km out at sea. And fourthly, offshore wind is one of the cheapest forms of energy out there, even cheaper than nuclear. Not Western nuclear - Chinese nuclear, the cheapest in the world. So to sum up we have a way to generate electricity that a) you literally float into position, b) powers an entire town per turbine, c) takes up zero land and d) is super cheap. And e) incidentally, is sustainable. How is that NOT a no-brainer? You'd need just about 150 of these to match the output of your average nuclear power plant. Except you'd install them in weeks instead of 10 years 🤷‍♂️ Given the renewed strategic importance of electricity, I don't understand why China seems to be one of the only countries out there that's genuinely enthusiastic about it. At some point I'm afraid some countries' cost of electricity is just going to become a tax on stupidity. Src: reneweconomy.com.au/china-complete…

@DougHenwood It wouldn’t annoy Elon, it would crush his business.

Why no Chinese cars? They're better than ours, and it would annoy the proprietor of this platform.

@jeremykauffman Are you retarded?

Donald Trump is the best President of my lifetime and Thomas Massie is the best Congressman of my lifetime They should be locked in a room together until they're willing to cooperate

@SlightLegato @kyleichan Explain it as if I were a child or a golden retriever.

@kyleichan lmao A few elephants in the room here

Poll of 1,000 people in China College-educated Chinese are more likely to believe the US is stronger than China militarily and economically compared with non-college-educated Chinese.

@NuryVittachi Biden’s brain was stuck in the 80s/90s. Trump updated to like 2005z

I'm not a Trump fan, but I have to say that he at least treats XI as an important leader of an important state, whereas Biden treated him as a cartoon villain

TRUMP TURNS DOVISH ON CHINA US PRESIDENT Donald Trump is about to reveal himself as a China dove. He will arrive in Beijing for meetings on Thursday and Friday looking for friendly co-operation—and, amazingly, it is not entirely fake. At the meeting, China’s leadership will helpfully browse Donald Trump’s sales list -- Boeing aircraft, US farm produce, and various fuels like LNG. Trump in turn will consider backing off on US sanctions -- such as the chip sales barrier that has killed Nvidia’s sales in China, and the fake “slave labor” accusations that are preventing Chinese Uyghur people from exporting their products. But is this all a pretense? Actually no. . RELATIVELY DOVISH If you look back at Trump’s utterances over years, editing out the knee-jerk hostile stuff, you can see that he has long had a relatively dove-ish streak on China. Same with JD Vance. They are money-focused people so want a positive relationship with the world’s second biggest economy. They like the rich. China as a nation has a LOT of money. They see everyone as potential customers. But here’s the issue. While Trump and JD Vance are relative doves, their teammates in the Trump Administration are China hawks: Hegseth, Colby, and Rubio, want to stick to the old plan, where the US creates problems in Taiwan and then uses that as an excuse to start a war. At the moment, Trump’s pragmatic, dove-ish attitude is on top. . ENDING DEMONIZATION For more evidence of this, consider this fact: Donald Trump is slapping down some of China’s nastiest enemies. I know! It sounds absurd, but that’s what’s happening. His written game-plan for the immediate future includes the de-funding of the notorious National Endowment for Democracy, a conflict-creation group that took over the CIA’s international political manipulation activities. With astonishing candidness, the Trump administration’s proposed 2027 budget describes the NED as a group which works to quote “destabilize sovereign governments with whom America is not at war”. Correct. No mainstream media organization will print that, but people like me and other independent journalists have been saying this for years, literally. Guardian, the New York Times, BBC, other mainstream media outlets—why have you never had the courage to say that? Why is Trump more honest than you are? NED should be defunded, Trump believes, because the US does not need quote “a shadow State Department fomenting anti-American sentiment and global unrest with no constitutional oversight and ready access to hard-earned taxpayer funds”. This is also correct. The NED creates “global unrest” and does it so clumsily that it ends up creating “anti-American sentiment”. . BRAINWASHING RIGHT NOW Now it’s also important to know that NED is not yesterday’s problem – it is today’s problem. If you live in Hong Kong or Taiwan or UK or the USA, there are people in your community, right now, collecting cash from the NED to make you hate the Chinese. In the most recent budgeting period, 2025, it spent $13,106,125 on hate farming for the Chinese. Since China, wisely, does not allow NED projects on its soil, the money physically goes elsewhere. This is not speculation. NED funding amounts can be seen in its annual reports—one was published recently. The cash goes to groups who push the Uyghur genocide hoax, it goes to cultivate the “China killed Hong Kong” lie, it pays staff working to polarize residents of Taiwan, and it tries to revive the CIA’s notorious Tibet operations. Whenever you see statements from individuals who are part of groups like World Uyghur Congress, that’s NED is trying to brainwash you. Donald Trump wants to kill it. Marco Rubio wants to keep it. Defunding of the NED is in the 2027 budget plan – so the dove-ish tendency is on top at the moment. . POSITIVE OUTLOOK One last thing – the new positive relationship between the leaders of China and the US is happening just as the property markets in Hong Kong and mainland China are recovering. And that’s going to get the foreign direct investment people interested. All in all, there’s a positive outlook, in this part of the world at least. But don’t celebrate too early. The so-called O Plan, or operational plan, for a US war on China, is still live—and all the preparations for it are continuing without a pause. We may be in a relatively brief period of peace.

@realmatsahlvik @TheCinesthetic And he did all that without ever learning how to act.

@TheCinesthetic One name I'm not seeing is Costner. 87-91. Includes The Untouchables, Now Way Out, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves, JFK, and yes, Robin Hood.

Which actor had the greatest 5 year run in film history?

@CT_RSTA @scotthortonshow You’re missing the point.

Even the IRGC admits to murdering 3200 people @scotthortonshow. You are a chewed up russian propagandist!

@IanCarrollShow You should be allowed, but nobody should take your reporting seriously.

No brainer opinion. Barak Ravid is a foreign asset

@mandate2049 Guaranteed that is not a median average village in China.

This is an average rural village in Zhejiang Province, China. Reminder that this place has a far lower GDP per capita than the most hollowed out and drug infested towns in Mississippi and Alabama. Proof that 90% of US GDP is just pure grade horseshit.

@rafahell @jackprandelli Japan is huge, has 123 million people, and an automobile industry.

@jackprandelli Considering it's size Japan uses an absurd amount of energy.

🚨The world's 5 largest energy consumers 1 number changes how you read everything else on this chart 🇨🇳 China: 48,400 TWh 🇺🇸 US: 25,800 TWh 🇮🇳 India: 11,200 TWh 🇷🇺 Russia: 9,000 TWh 🇯🇵 Japan: 4,800 TWh China consumes nearly twice as much energy as the United States. But the mix is what tells the real story. China's coal consumption alone is visually larger than the entire US energy stack combined. The US is running on gas and oil, with nuclear and renewables as meaningful contributors. China is running on coal, with everything else added on top. India, the 3rd largest consumer and the fastest growing major economy, is also coal-dominant with gas playing a minimal role compared to its peers. Russia's profile is the inverse: gas-heavy, oil-significant, almost no coal at scale. That's a direct reflection of geography Yamal and Western Siberia make gas the default fuel for everything from heating to industry. Any global energy transition runs through coal in China and India first. Until those bars change shape, the conversation about net zero is largely theoretical.

@milstrategy26 @jackprandelli More pointedly: China is the factory of the world and still consumes much less energy per capita than the US.

@jackprandelli Look at China’s population. Almost triple the U.S., so that is somewhat normal.

@jackprandelli Now do energy consumption per capita and tell me who is the problem,
