Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya explains that once he learned the mainstream media was lying to him, he left the Democrat Party “You went from being a large Democrat donor to now a very outspoken proponent on the other side of the aisle” Chamath Palihapitiya “Yeah — This is not about politics for me, it's about the truth. There was a moment where I was basically like everybody else, and pretty brainwashed. My media diet was very much the same as everybody else's. I read the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. I watched a little bit of CNN, a little bit of CNBC, a little bit of MSNBC, a little bit of CBS Economist. Every now and then you encounter it on a plane and you think you know what's going on, and I had a perception of Donald Trump initially, from the moment he walked down the staircase in Trump Tower to announce. And then over the course of 6-7 years, I realized that some of those fundamental things that I was told about him were just totally false. And there was enough content online where I was almost afraid, but it started with Charlottesville. I was almost afraid to look at it because I'm like, I think I was lied to. And then I saw it. I saw what he said, but then I saw the portrayal. I had originally believed that portrayal until I saw the truth. And then I just started to go down that rabbit hole. So for me, it was an evolution where I was like, I can't believe I'm being lied to by this group of people whose sole responsibility is to hold truth, to power. The key word there is truth to power, not your perception or your desires. And I just think that that, that, I mean, red-pilled me, I guess in a way”

Think Trump “betrayed” you? Read this first. Some people are mad about gas prices and cost of living and saying Trump sold them out. I get it - everything still feels expensive. But you need to understand how an economy actually works. This isn’t a light switch. It’s a cargo ship. It takes time to turn. WHAT TRUMP INHERITED (2025) He did NOT inherit cheap prices. He inherited high prices locked into the system from 2021–2024 inflation. When Biden took office: ~ Inflation ~1.2% ~ Gas ~ $2.39 ~ Prices overall much lower When Trump took office (2025): ~ Prices already ~20% higher than 2021 ~ Gas had hit $5 during Biden years ~ Food up 20–25% ~ Real wages had fallen ~ Savings rates dropped IMPORTANT: Even when inflation drops, prices don’t go back down - they just stop rising as fast. BIDEN YEARS (2021–2025) What actually caused the pain people feel now: ~ Massive government spending ~ Supply chain crisis ~ Energy restrictions ~ Russia/Ukraine war ~ Inflation peaked at 9.1% ~ Prices rose ~20% overall ~ Gas hit $5 ~ Groceries up 20–25% ~ Real wages went backwards THAT’S WHERE THE COST OF LIVING PAIN CAME FROM. TRUMP FIRST 14 MONTHS (2025–2026) Now look at the direction since he came back: ~ Inflation down to ~2.4% ~ Gas around mid $3 range (well below $5 peak) ~ Unemployment ~4.4% (still very low) ~ GDP growth strong in 2025 ~ Wages rising faster than inflation again ~ Manufacturing and energy investment rising ~ Stock market hitting highs ~ Domestic oil production rising again Macro economy is improving first. Local prices come later. WHY YOU DON’T FEEL IT YET This is the part people don’t understand: ~ Stores locked into supply contracts ~ Rent adjusts slowly ~ Wages adjust slowly ~ State taxes & regulations affect local prices ~ Global events affect oil prices ~ Food prices lag inflation by 12–24 months Inflation goes down first. Then wages rise. Then prices stabilize. Then people feel relief. We are currently in stage 1–2, not stage 4. BOTTOM LINE Trump didn’t betray anyone. He inherited: ~High prices ~ Global instability ~ Inflation damage already done What he’s done so far: ~ Brought inflation way down ~ Increased energy production ~ Kept unemployment low ~ Growing the economy ~ Real wages rising again Economies take years to fix, not months. But the direction right now is very clearly up, not down. FACTS OVER FEELINGS.

All the large accounts that present themselves as truth-seeking journalists or commentators, then quote posts like this and act utterly baffled—“What the hell!?” “WTF!?” “What’s going on here???”—are frauds. It took me less than a minute to see what the court documents actually said and understand what they meant. They do not show that the bullet was not fired from the gun. They show only that the bullet was too fragmented to confidently link it to ANY gun. This is not uncommon, and DOES NOT mean the bullet didn’t come from Robinson’s gun. Of course the defense attorneys are going to spin this as evidence that Robinson is innocent. That is what defense attorneys do. They scrape together every possible fragment of doubt and present it as if it were fully exculpatory. It’s not. Defense lawyers are paid to downplay or ignore evidence pointing to guilt, exploit people’s cognitive biases, and make fallacious arguments sound persuasive. This information about the bullet doesn’t erode the case for Robinson’s guilt in any way. It is totally neutral on that front. And it in no way invalidate the mountain of positive and mutually corroborating lines of evidence we do have for Robinson’s guilt. You should expect more from the commentators you follow, and hold them accountable by refusing to give them your attention in the future. If they could not be bothered to spend even one minute checking the facts before spreading confusion to you and millions of others on X, they do not deserve your attention. They are nothing more than grifting engagement farmers.

If you are old enough, you know politicians lie to get into office. Not just in America - everywhere. That’s why people don’t trust politicians. I’ve been watching President Trump closely since 2023 - rallies, interviews, policies, results. In the last 14 months, he’s running at roughly an 80% campaign promise success rate. In politics, that is significant. Trump Delivered on His 2024 Campaign Promises Campaigned on: ➡️ Seal the border & largest deportation operation in history ➡️ End inflation & make America affordable again ➡️ Drill baby drill - American energy dominance ➡️ America First economy & bring jobs home In first 14 months: ✅ Border: Negative net migration; border apprehensions down ~87–96%; over 2.6M removals; fentanyl trafficking cut by more than half ✅ Economy: Inflation ~2.4–2.8%; gas down below $3 in many states; trillions in reshored investments; 4.3% GDP growth (Q3 2025); private-sector job gains ✅ Energy & Government: Record energy production; major bureaucracy cuts; largest homicide drop on record Of course he did not have Intel on Iran back then, so he is doing what's necessary to ensure he's America First agenda is not impeded. The country is massive, the economy is the largest in the world, and the bureaucracy is enormous. On top of that, the Democrats and RINOs have been extreme in blocking his policies. The entire MSM is against him and his administration. Even so, he keeps on delivering. America First in action - results over rhetoric.

A couple million people marched in the “No Kings” protests against President Donald Trump. They went home safely that night. Millions of people protested the regime in Iran. Many of them never went home. They were shot in the streets. They were executed. They were hanged from cranes as a warning to others. 30,000+ killed in two days. One country allows protests against its leader. The other kills people for protesting its rulers. Before people throw words like “dictator” and “tyrant” around, they should understand what those words actually look like in the real world. Freedom isn’t proven by supporting a government. Freedom is proven by being allowed to protest against one and live to talk about it.

OK I'm kind of stunned how AI can make anything sound like a song. I loaded my pinned post and this spit out. Excuse me please if I'm like a kid with a new toy for just a little bit. ".....sooooooooyyy latte...."🤣

This guy figured out that the No Kings and anti-ICE protests are against democracy. Smart guy.

The number of No Kings protests by state... Alabama - 16 Alaska - 19 Arizona - 62 Arkansas - 12 California - 325 Colorado - 74 Connecticut - 51 Delaware - 9 Florida - 113 Georgia - 72 Hawaii - 14 Idaho - 17 Illinois - 105 Indiana - 71 lowa - 61 Kansas - 33 Kentucky - 40 Louisiana - 11 Maine - 56 Maryland - 74 Massachusetts - 162 Michigan - 121 Minnesota - 106 Mississippi - 9 Missouri - 54 Montana - 31 Nebraska - 21 Nevada - 11 New Hampshire - 43 New Jersey - 64 New Mexico - 28 New York - 140 And just like that...the left aren't concerned about gas prices anymore when it comes to driving to locations to protest a king that we do not have..🤣🤣

You'll see Chinamaxxing slop flood TikTok and get boosted by CNN and every mainstream media outlet. But you'll hardly see Americans Japanmaxxing or Japanese people Americanmaxxing except here on X. Genuine cultural cross-pollination like this absolute legend hosting Wild Honky Tonk BBQ blowouts in Japan and clips of talented Japanese bluegrass bands go viral here but not on TikTok. For obvious reasons. Chinamaxxing benefits from its full-spectrum influence op, from ByteDance algorithms to United Front networks, and captured legacy media. All of it is meant to erode Western confidence, sell "China wins" fatalism, and soften you up for the next decade of economic and tech warfare. Japan doesn't have any of that. No propaganda budget or astroturfed TikTok army. It has no need to manufacture virality when real friendship and shared values do the job. Japanese content spreads because it's genuinely cool, polite, innovative, or funny - not because state-linked operators or influence networks are flooding social media to reshape perceptions. That's why it hits different. 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸

Here in Philadelphia. Truly appalling. These assholes chanting for the death of our servicemembers. Where’s the Dem outrage and condemnation?
