Definitely going to invest in a dedicated headphone amp for the Immersions, I enjoyed the Mike Dean “Mains” from the start of the VSX experience but I think it is now my favorite room when using the Immersions One’s. Also, the new calibration for the VSX OG’s is fantastic, bravo 👏🏼

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

President Trump: “As time goes by, I believe that tariffs, paid for by foreign countries, will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax, taking a great financial burden off the people that I love.”

I firmly believe that 2007 was the peak of American culture. Then Obama and the iPhone both hit at almost exactly the same time. We’ve been on a cultural, political, and intellectual decline ever since.

Let’s debunk the whole “tariffs are a tax on Americans” talking point. A tariff is a “tax” on the IMPORTER of goods to the U.S. which means by definition, it is NOT a tax on Americans, its an additional fee in the form of a percentage added on to the cost of the product being shipped into this country. Essentially, it’s the cost of doing business. As stated in the latest SCOTUS ruling, the president has the authority to impose tariffs on goods through multiple avenues. This authority was given to him by congress in 1922, 1934, and 1974 through different pieces of legislation. Tariffs are paid to the U.S. by the country importing the goods, and they are collected by customs and border protection. The money then goes into the treasury, and is added to the general pool Congress uses to allocate for funding the military, Medicare, etc. In 2025, Trumps tariffs brought in 287 BILLION dollars. So, why do people say they’re a tax on Americans when they’re clearly a tax on other countries who import goods into America? The answer is simple, they’re lying to you. What these liars are implying is because the cost of goods will go up for a country like China, THEY will raise their prices and charge American companies who buy the product more, which they will then roll over to the consumer, and they claim that is essentially you being “taxed”. This is like calling the rise in price of a lobster based on season a “tax”. When in reality it’s just market value fluctuating due to mitigating factor. The part none of these talking heads will tell you is tariffs hurt the importer way more than it will ever affect the consumer. If we charge China a 15% mark up, and they try and recoup 100% of that by passing it to the receiver in America, they’ll just find a new supplier that isn’t so expensive or make their product in America and avoid tariffs all together. Retailers will never raise prices to the point where they lose customers. Nobody is gonna pay 15% more for something that was 15% cheaper the day before. What most businesses will do when we start imposing tariffs on other countries is build their product in America. That creates jobs, manufacturing, and over time, LOWERS the cost of goods across the board because now we have a competitive market instead of a market reliant on cheap shit from countries with no quality control and slave labor. Tariffs aren’t a tax on Americans, they’re a tool to incentivize American exceptionalism, and put America first over the countries who have been ripping us off by stealing our production, innovation, and manufacturing, and then selling it back to us for 10 cents on the dollar.

Donald Trump just announced a NEW 15% TAX on the American people. He does not care about you.

Doug, you obviously like buying from American companies like mine. In that case I hope you understand that these tariffs are truly harmful for us. We are not a huge business, we don’t have the ability to quickly adapt when our business and pricing model is assaulted. Free trade has been a fundamental American policy that has kept us strong and competitive. The last time an American president issued high tariffs, it led us into the Great Depression.

@RealStevenSlate @misfitpatriot_ Don’t start putting words in my mouth. This is all began with reciprocal tariffs as a negotiating tactic to ultimately arrive at 0 tariffs in either direction. The other countries wanted to play cute to protect their markets and he responded in kind. Don’t get too heated

@DougRoberman @misfitpatriot_ are you joking? Have you heard of NAFTA or Trump’s own USMCA? We’ve had free trade with major partners. You don’t like free trade, and preferred getting taxed?

If tariff refunds are sent out, they’ll be sent to the companies that raised your prices to pay them. Do you think you’ll see any of that money? Absolutely not, they’ll pocket it! Trump’s damage is DONE. HEIST OF THE CENTURY!!!!!

@SpeakerJohnson Proverbs 12:22 ("Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord"). Now Mike, tell me, who pays the tariffs? Hard-working American companies like mine, or the foreign country?

No one can deny that the President’s use of tariffs has brought in billions of dollars and created immense leverage for America’s trade strategy and for securing strong, reciprocal America-first trade agreements with countries that had been taking advantage of American workers for decades. Congress and the Administration will determine the best path forward in the coming weeks.

@RepThomasMassie Well.. if there is evidence that we’ve made contact with a nonhuman intelligence, something already claimed by dozens of military and intelligence officials, that’s the biggest story of all humankind. May not be smart to downplay
