Holy shit. Gavin Newsom’s Wife Jennifer ran over and killed her own sister with a golf cart…then tells San Quentin Prisoners for Life, “Yours were probably accidents too…” What TF is wrong with her?

I can never agree that we should have a system where some people pay taxes and others don’t. This is not a conservative position. All citizens need to be in a position where they can experience the effects both positive and negative, of the policies they support and who they vote for.

Republican Candidate for CA Governor Steve Hilton says if elected, he’ll push to completely cut state income tax on individuals making $100k or less. He acknowledged it would require CALeg negotiation. “I’d love to see Democrats stand against cutting taxes for working people.”

@Chicago1Ray And on top of that, O’Biden left people behind. Lose lose.

- (1) Colonel rescued in Iran - (3) Planes lost ($120M-$200M) The left loses their mind over the cost - ($90B) dollars of equipment left behind in Afghanistan by Biden... no concerns from the left These people are sick

"The warp engines are fine, Captain. It's the toilets. They cannae take any more."

@CharlieK_news That’s the problem though. Every positive thing that Trump has done will be reversed when the suicidal nihilistic communists get back in power. Nothing has been made into law.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just sent a BRUTAL message to everyone cheering on the invasion of America “If you import the Third World, you become the Third World!” “And that is NOT going to happen to the United States of America as long as I am President.” 🇺🇸

@BullTheoryio Huge psy-op to get Americans to cheer on the collapse of their own country’s economy and currency.

TRUMP DIDN'T START THE IRAN WAR TO DESTROY IRAN. HE STARTED IT TO SAVE THE U.S. DOLLAR. Before the first bomb dropped, the petrodollar was visibly falling apart, Fast. Saudi Arabia publicly said for the first time since 1974 that it was open to settling oil in other currencies. Then the actions followed. China and Saudi Arabia signed a 50 billion yuan currency swap. Saudi Arabia joined mBridge, the system built explicitly to bypass SWIFT and the dollar. The original 1974 petrodollar agreement was allowed to expire without renewal. India was buying Russian oil settled in rupees and yuan. One fifth of all global oil trade was already settling outside the dollar by 2023. The dollar's share of global reserves had fallen to a 30 year low. The petrodollar was dying already. To understand why this matters you need to understand what the petrodollar actually is. It is a protection deal. In 1974, Kissinger flew to Riyadh and made a secret agreement with King Faisal. Saudi Arabia prices oil in dollars and recycles profits into US Treasuries. In return, America guarantees Saudi security. Weapons, troops, and the promise that US military keeps the shipping lanes open. Every OPEC member followed within a year. The arrangement gave Washington something extraordinary. A permanent buyer for its debt. The ability to borrow cheaply and run deficits indefinitely while maintaining the world's reserve currency. For fifty years Gulf states believed this was a partnership. It was not. It was leverage. And when Gulf states started building their own exits, that leverage had to be demonstrated again. On February 28, 2026, the demonstration began. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Kuwait has no bypass pipeline. Qatar sends 93% of its LNG through it. Saudi Arabia exports 5.5 million barrels per day through it. Multiple Gulf energy companies declared force majeure simultaneously for the first time in history. Oil hit $120. R Refineries were shut. The IEA called it the largest energy supply disruption in history. And the same Gulf states that had been quietly building yuan settlement systems and joining Chinese financial infrastructure found themselves with their entire economic survival at stake and only one country capable of doing anything about it. They went back to Washington and asked for help. Saudi Arabia reversed its refusal to grant the US military base access. The UAE declared willingness to join a US coalition. The GCC went to the UN and called for US-backed force to reopen the strait. Countries that had been distancing themselves from American dependence for two years were suddenly asking America to come back and protect them. That is not a coincidence, That is the leverage being applied. Now look at what happened to the dollar while all of this was happening. DXY surged to a 10 month high. Gold collapsed 13 to 20%, its worst month since 2013. Investors sold alternative stores of value and bought dollars. Every barrel of emergency oil released by the IEA was priced and settled in dollars. SWIFT data showed the dollar's share of global transactions at its highest level in years. And Gulf states who had been accumulating yuan and building alternative payment systems ended up spending their crisis buying American weapons instead. A $16.5 billion emergency arms package was approved during the war. The petrodollar recycling mechanism, dollars earned from oil flowing back into American defense industry, ran perfectly. Now look at what Trump had been saying for years before the war. He threatened BRICS nations with 100% tariffs if they backed any alternative to the dollar. He said directly that losing the world's reserve currency would be "like losing a war." His National Security Strategy, published one month before the bombs fell, explicitly named preventing any power from controlling Middle Eastern oil chokepoints as a core US interest. After the war started he posted publicly: "With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, and MAKE A FORTUNE." This is the part that should make every Gulf state rethink everything. The system was sold to them as a partnership. America protects you. You price oil in dollars. Mutual benefit. But when Gulf states started building exits, a war appeared that destroyed their ability to use those exits and forced them back into dependence. Gulf states spent two years building non dollar infrastructure. Then a crisis arrived that made all of it irrelevant overnight and left them with no option except to ask Washington for protection. The dollar surged. American weapons factories got new orders. And the countries trying to escape the system found themselves locked back inside it. That is a reset. And the people who paid for it are the same ones who always pay, The Gulf. The petrodollar was never a partnership. It was always a system designed to make American power self financing. The Iran war did not threaten that system. It renewed it.

@BullTheoryio I have no problem with any of this. The US should protect its strategic advantages

@BigBrainPhiloso Without consciousness there is nothing to experience an illusion.

John Searle: consciousness cannot be an illusion and here's the argument that makes it undeniable Science has a long track record of overturning our intuitions. The table looks solid, it isn't. The sun appears to set, it doesn't. We've learned to accept that appearances deceive us, and that reality lies beneath. But philosopher John Searle argues there is exactly one domain where this move simply cannot be made: consciousness itself. "Where consciousness is concerned, you can't make the standard appearance/reality distinction that we make for the rest of the world." His logic is simple. When a scientist tells you the table isn't really solid and that it's a cloud of micro-particles, you can accept that. The appearance (solidity) and the reality (particles) are two different things, and you can hold them apart. Same with the sunset. It looks like the sun moves. It doesn't. The rotation of the Earth creates an illusion. Appearance and reality come apart and you understand the gap. Now try applying that same logic to your conscious experience. Someone claims your pain isn't really there, that your awareness is just an illusion. But here, Searle says, the distinction collapses entirely: "Where the existence of consciousness is concerned, the appearance is the reality. There's no way that some guy can come to me and convince me I'm not conscious if I think I'm conscious, I am conscious." This is a structural point about what consciousness fundamentally is. For every other phenomenon, the appearance can be explained away by pointing to what's "really" happening underneath. But consciousness is the very medium in which all appearances occur. There is no "underneath" to retreat to. To say consciousness is an illusion, you would first need to be conscious of the illusion. The argument defeats itself on contact.

French President Macron on the Strait of Hormuz: "Opening it by force is not the option we have chosen, we consider it unrealistic. A military operation would take an infinite amount of time and expose forces to immense coastal and ballistic risks. From the beginning, we have said it must be reopened, but only in coordination with Iran. The world cannot live with a strait that can be opened or closed overnight."

@EricLDaugh “A live torpedo” that cannot hit absolutely anything.

🚨 JUST IN: Jonathan Turley says Pam Bondi is still in GOOD STANDING after her service to the Trump administration and that Todd Blanche is a possible FULL replacement as AG "Pam Bondi is still in good favor with not just the president, but most people in that party. She's now a torpedo in the water. There's a lot of places she could go, including running for office." "You have Todd Blanche himself, who was a partner in a world-class law firm. He was a prosecutor and was considered the top prosecution office, and he's tough as nails." "In terms of who's being considered, there's various options. You have Jeanine Pirro...Lee Zeldin is very popular on the Hill." "Todd Blanche is a tough guy. He'll gut you like a trout without even changing his expression. He's a litigator. I mean, he's been in the tough fights, and you can count on that." "Zeldin is someone who's able to avoid fights, but he's also able to finish them. And Pirro and others have a track record with the president that has proven she's been an outstanding U.S. attorney."

@WallStreetApes Why is it that only homeowners are responsible for paying for the things that property taxes fund?

Investigation finds a contributor to rising California home prices Proposition 13 was passed which caps property tax increases at 2% per year based on the most recent purchase price But if anyone was to sell and move, they would take in a much higher tax bill “This encourages owners to stay put and not move and take on a higher tax bill. On top of that, tax laws can make it even less attractive to sell. If owners in California sell their homes, they generally pay taxes on gains more than $250,000 or $500,000 for couples. But if they hold onto their homes and pass it on to their heirs, that tax bill virtually disappears. Their heirs would only need to pay taxes on gains over the value of the home's market price on the date of the previous owner's death. When homeowners are reluctant to sell, that means fewer homes are on the market, which pushes prices higher and then serves as an incentive for other owners not to sell. One realtor calls this a negative feedback loop.”

@CesspoolOnline The only thing worse and more dangerous to America then Iran getting the bomb, is the Democrats getting back in power.

Megyn Kelly:  "Now we're en route to a what? A 60 seat Democrat majority. Do you know what that is? That's a fucking nightmare. Because the Democrats could actually win the White House too, with these approval numbers. President Trump's approval numbers are in the basement. They're the lowest that they have been."

@LightOnLiberty Well he also is allowing millions of additional Chinese students in for some reason.

President Trump warned us YEARS ago that our enemies were sending their children to America to use our universities to get an education and then go back to their countries to use it against us and Trump demanded it come to an end! Looks like Trump was right AGAIN!

@ExxAlerts Clear the air? Is he doing those killer farts again?

NEW: California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell “clears the air” on allegations he slept with a Chinese spy, says he did nothing wrong. ”Defamation is the highest form of flattery,” Swalwell said.

@elonmusk Maybe if nuclear propulsion could be added. Otherwise it’s too slow to even get to Mars in any sort of reasonable travel time.

Yes

@Traveler2236 I think the objective of both wars was not about making Koreans And Vietnamese free so much as it was not allowing the Russians to control those countries.

This scene from (Wonderyears) is pretty wild. If you're too young, you're too young, but this is incredible. What you are watching is an 80s democrat culture making a scene in a show to demonstrate and propagandize its people to vote democrat. However, that didn't go well because they went so far to make this scene as realistic as possible, but they also in the process illuminated the other side being normal thinking people. The democrats exposed themselves, and in the future (NOW), you and I relate more to a classical liberal than a republican or democrat. Brutal.

@Bubblebathgirl I’d say the same thing if I was alive when Benedict Arnold died. I believe traitors should be shamed and disgraced every way possible.

Kristen Welker: “Do you think it’s appropriate for the President of the United States to celebrate the death of an American citizen, someone who’s a Bronze Star, Purple Heart recipient and who served in Vietnam?” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “I think that neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family.” W: “Is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen?” B: “Given what has been done to President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through.” W: “So you don’t think there’s anything wrong with a post saying, ‘Good. Robert Mueller’s dead’?” B: “Again, I think we should all have a little empathy for what has been done to [President Trump] and his family.” Well said Bessent!

@Timcast Is that what you want? You are always pushing the “civil war” narrative. Seems like you have an agenda.

Trump wants to keep the US as the global hegemon and keep the world under the petrodollar But a new world order is emerging One that will cede power to several large nations.
