What did the Founders think of Caesar? That he was a tyrant and compared George III to him. That’s why they idolized Cato and Cicero, Caesar’s political opponents. In fact, George Washington’s favorite play was Joseph Addison’s “Cato,” and John Adams had a Cicero portrait.

When Julius Caesar was assassinated, it wasn't by a lone attacker — it was a group of his rivals in the Senate. Why? Because they feared his growing popularity with the common people. Here's how it unfolded on March 15, 44 BC... (thread) 🧵

U.S. corps are valued at 7x more than Chinese corps. In fact, U.S. corps are worth much more than the other top ten countries combined. We create so much wealth because of creative entrepreneurs who are free to build new companies that make new things. It ain't rocket science.

China sees the US as an enemy & is playing a zero sum game. China will never agree to any deal that favors the US. China will extract favorable terms or simply walk away so Trump loses face. So the best outcome is nothing. Zero. Because it's that or we go negative. The bigger the deal, the more of a margin China will require to agree. And Trump has a history of making bad deals with China then lying to claim he won (AG purchases, anyone? 🙄). China's goal here is to halt or reverse decoupling & US dependency on China (thus ☝🏻 🇨🇳 leverage over 🇺🇸). China may be willing to "fake opening" to accomplish this: bear in mind that ALL foreign investment in China is a bad deal that benefits 🇨🇳 not 🇺🇸 & gives 🇨🇳 leverage & influence over 🇺🇸. 🇺🇸 gets no benefit whatsoever unless it is allowed to make profits (good luck given China's deflation) then REPATRIATE the money, which 🇨🇳 simply does not allow. Any promises to the contrary are just that: empty promises.

I had a couple people ask me what I consider a win: nothing. I consider it a win if nothing happens between Xi and Trump and no deals are struck. Follow me. As the great international relations scholar Seinfeld noted, anyone can make a deal, holding the deal is the hard part. Well we know that there is no trade deal with China worth striking. It's pointless. Why waste the time? Then, the United States and US supply chains of all kinds are making great progress to get out of China. Business needs certainty that we aren't going to try and be friends with China again but they can move production. This is a big long project, not one that will be finished even before Trump leaves office. Don't open the door to doubt but give them a reason to keep moving US linked trade and supply chains. The short version is I am much happier continuing to fight than trying to place nice for something we both is know worthless. All this said I fully expect some deals to be announced, so to me the key is what deals are announced. The smaller the narrower the better. Boeing sells some planes, shrug not that big a deal, we lower tariffs on t-shirts, shrug. I am much happier with no deal rather than a deal just to announce a deal. Let's look at the deals that are announced and see what that tells us

Former Ambassador Sam Brownback says the CCP is carrying out 3 genocides simultaneously. “The 3 are the Uyghur genocide … a genocide that’s been going on in Tibet against Tibetan Buddhists … and then the Falun Gong genocide.” “They want to name the next Dalai Lama. The Chinese Communist Party, an officially atheistic group, wants to name the next official leader of the Tibetan Buddhism faith, which is just galling and ironic at the same time.” “They have decimated the Falun Gong that got up by Chinese numbers to 90 million at one point in time…And in the most diabolical, barbaric ways of locking people up, throwing them in jail, forced organ harvesting as you've written about.” “That's why I say these are 3 genocides, because the intent is there to literally wipe out these groups and these cultures.” @samuelbrownback

Important point. Adams was a Great for many reasons, but near the top of the list was putting the mission of America - and indeed “all mankind,” as Paine wrote - ahead of his own interests.
Rev. Ben Johnson@TheRightsWriter

What humility Christians can learn from some of our Founding Fathers. John Adams explained why he insisted Thomas Jefferson write the Declaration of Independence: “I am obnoxious, suspected and unpopular … You can write ten times better than I can.”

Philip Livingston is my direct ancestor, he was a wealthy New York merchant & true Founding Father who put everything on the line for independence. Born into a powerful Hudson Valley family, this Yale grad built a thriving import business then stepped into the Continental Congress. He signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, helped found King's College (Columbia), the NY Public Library and the first Chamber of Commerce. When British forces seized his Brooklyn estate he kept fighting, serving in Congress and the NY Senate until his death in 1778 at age 62. A patriot merchant who traded fortune for freedom. America owes its birth to men like him.

@GrtAmericans James Otis and Stephen Hopkins. They helped lay the ideological foundation (along with Sam Adams) that everyone else built on.

“Outsiders are inferiors... The concept of equal friendship with any foreign leader is entirely absent from Xi's worldview. Trump should not believe his relationship with Xi is rooted in mutual respect.” @cburton001 Don't trust the smile... usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

The eternal life-hack will always be passion and interest.
Alex & Books 📚@AlexAndBooks_

President Theodore Roosevelt on reading for enjoyment: “Personally, the books by which I have profited infinitely more than by any others have been those in which profit was a by-product of the pleasure; that is, I read them because I enjoyed them, because I liked reading them, and the profit came in as part of the enjoyment.”

Senior Fellow at the @HudsonInstitute, @michaelsobolik on the Chinese Communist Party: "This is what the Chinese Communist Party always does. They try to project themselves to the rest of the world as a normal government in a normal country. They're not."

Permitting sale of Nvidia chips to China a dangerous idea. Will help the PLA compete technologically with the U.S. military.
Chris McGuire@ChrisRMcGuire

How does Nvidia selling AI chips to Chinese hyperscalers, which they will use to build data centers globally, help US companies dominate global AI infrastructure? There are ZERO clusters of Chinese AI chips outside of China. China only competes globally if we sell them our chips.

@GrtAmericans 👍Might be easier to divide the eras up like "Revolutrionary" and "Constitutional." I would say Madison was more influential in the Constitutional era than the actual Revolution, which I consider the kinetic phase of the war (1775-1783).

Tonight, the Secretary of the Treasury is personally vetting and approving each company that gets access to the most advanced U.S. AI model, because the risks of the model being misused to hurt US national security are so high. Also tonight, Jensen Huang is flying on Air Force One with President Trump to Beijing to sell China the AI chips it will use to develop its own Mythos-level AI model as soon as possible. The administration’s AI policy remains inconsistent and incoherent. It is impossible to justify these two approaches simultaneously.
