Why did I deploy today?

Here's a great commencement speech from Eric Church given at UNC Chapel Hill. So articulate and a very wise words.

Tu confonds deux choses, et c'est exactement le piège que la French Theory a tendu. Liberté, égalité, fraternité — égalité *de droits*, égalité *devant la loi*, égalité *de dignité*. C'est la promesse républicaine, et personne ici ne l'attaque. Le wokisme, ce n'est pas ça. C'est l'égalitarisme des résultats. Et l'égalitarisme des résultats, contrairement à l'égalité des droits, n'est pas un élargissement de la liberté — c'est sa négation. Quelques exemples concrets : — San Francisco supprime les classes de maths avancées au collège pour "réduire les inégalités". Résultat : les écarts entre élèves explosent, les familles aisées prennent des cours privés, les pauvres se font enterrer. L'égalitarisme a creusé l'inégalité. — Les politiques de discrimination positive à Harvard : étudiants admis avec des scores très en dessous de leurs camarades, taux d'échec dispropportionné, sentiment d'imposture, ressentiment généralisé. On a saboté ceux qu'on voulait aider. — L'aide humanitaire qui distribue du riz gratuit pendant 30 ans en Afrique : effondrement des filières agricoles locales, dépendance institutionnalisée. Donner un poisson, c'est empêcher d'apprendre à pêcher. Le wokisme ne détruit pas l'humanité dans le sens dramatique. Il fait pire : il dessert systématiquement ceux qu'il prétend protéger, et il génère du ressentiment des deux côtés — ceux qu'on infantilise et ceux qu'on culpabilise. La fraternité républicaine dit : tu es mon égal, donc je te traite en adulte capable. Le wokisme dit : tu es ma victime, donc je dois te protéger de toi-même. L'un élève. L'autre infantilise. Ce n'est pas la même chose, et confondre les deux est exactement le tour de passe-passe qu'on dénonce.

Ilhan Omar is still a citizen of Somalia, and she has never given up her citizenship. Unbelievable. My new bill would make people like @IlhanMN give up their dual citizenship if they want to serve in Congress. You’re either American or Somali. It’s just that simple. We don’t want foreigners serving in Congress any longer. PERIOD.

.@POTUS on Taiwan: "If you kept it the way it is, I think China is going to be okay with that — but we're not looking to have somebody say, 'let's go independent because the United States is backing us.'"

Elon has promised long time $TSLA investors will be prioritized when $SPCX goes public. SpaceX is set to IPO on June 12th. How do y'all think this will be?

NEURALINK recipient CJ (Curt Johnson, @SCI_Borg24) and his wife have started a campaign to help with their travel expenses needed to use air ambulance transfers to Miami to meet Neuralink trial obligations at the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. Commercial flights are banned due to CJ's ventilator, they are still paying off previous air ambulance bills from as far back as 2020, and they lost Medicaid funding last month, causing denied prescriptions, terminated PCA services, and a $4,000 bill for respiratory supplies. The flights are needed for CJ to continue in the trial and to avoid risks by driving. Help CJ and his wife as much as you can. @elonmusk givesendgo.com/air-ambulance-…

@RedWavePress Great answer. The man knows to avoid the land mines.

Reporter: “Do you think President Xi is a dictator or not?” President Trump: “I don’t think about it. He’s the president of China. You deal with what you have. I respect him, very smart, he loves his country.” “Whether he’s a dictator, that’s for you to figure out.”

@ThePeoplesCube Good one

Must be where he picked up communism.

Where are the kids? The indigenous people? The mentally handicapped? The Muslims? The trans people? Why does everyone have two eyes and two legs?

@D162Michele If there’s a movie made, Xi will be cast as a black person.

Because this is a summit between 2 global superpowers, not a Disney movie. Why are the West so woke?

@clashreport @lnachman32 Good. Don’t show your hand. Keep them guessing.

Reporter: Would the US defend Taiwan if it came to it? Trump: I don't want to say that. I'm not going to say that. That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said, “I don't talk about those.” Reporter: He asked you if you would send troops? Trump: He asked me if I'd defend them. I said, “I don't talk about that.”
