@Ric_RTP Let's try something different... taxes

Peter Thiel just told the world's richest people to STOP giving their money away. And they're listening. The Giving Pledge was supposed to be the greatest philanthropic movement in history. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates launched it in 2010. The idea was simple: Get every billionaire on Earth to commit to giving away at least half their fortune. 113 families signed up in the first five years. Then 72. Then 43. In 2024? Four. Out of 3,400 billionaires worldwide, four signed. And now Peter Thiel is actively calling billionaires and telling them to remove their names entirely. He told the New York Times he's "strongly discouraged people from signing it" and "gently encouraged them to unsign it." He said most signatories he's spoken to "have at least expressed regret." His exact words for the Giving Pledge: "An Epstein-adjacent, fake Boomer club." He told Elon Musk directly that if he honored his pledge, the money would end up going to "left-wing nonprofits that will be chosen by Bill Gates." Elon's pledge quietly disappeared from the website. Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, dropped out too. No explanation. Larry Ellison, fifth richest person on Earth, said he "may have different plans" for his money. And it's not just individuals walking away. The entire CULTURE around billionaire philanthropy is flipping. The libertarian wing of Silicon Valley now argues that building companies IS the contribution. Creating jobs IS the charity. Philanthropy on top of that is, in their words, "a shakedown dressed up as virtue." Meanwhile, the numbers are insane: The top 10% of US households now hold more than two-thirds of all wealth in the country. Oxfam's 2026 report says the wealth gained by billionaires in 2025 alone would have been enough to give every person on Earth $250 and STILL leave them $500 billion richer. The country's wealthiest gave away $22.4 billion in 2025. Sounds like a lot until you realize that's down from $38.9 billion in 2021. Giving is declining while wealth is accelerating. And one person is doing more than almost all of them combined. MacKenzie Scott gave away $7.2 billion last year to over 120 organizations. That's more than Jeff Bezos has donated in his ENTIRE LIFETIME according to Forbes estimates. His ex-wife is outgiving him by a factor that should embarrass every billionaire on the planet. While Bezos is raising $100 billion to buy factories and automate them with AI. That's the split happening in real time. One camp says: Give back, distribute wealth, fund solutions. The other says: Build more, keep everything, philanthropy is for suckers. And the second camp is winning. Thiel's foundation holds about 0.18% of his net worth. He's focused on embedding his technology in government, mentoring the Vice President, and convincing other billionaires that charity is a waste of time. He gave private lectures at the Vatican last week arguing that the Antichrist could come in the form of a global government system exploiting fears around AI and climate change. This is the man leading the charge against giving. The Giving Pledge was always non-binding. No enforcement. No consequences. No one to answer to. Buffett called it a "moral pledge." Turns out moral pledges don't survive contact with a generation of billionaires who think morality is a market inefficiency. The richest people in history are building AI that eliminates jobs, buying political influence, and now publicly arguing that giving money to the less fortunate is beneath them. But the takeaway here isn't about who's right. It's about understanding that the rules are changing. The old playbook of 'get rich then give back' is being replaced by 'get rich and keep building.' Agree or not, that's the world we're operating in now.

@reportingLibya @NeilMcCoyWard What other countries might loose is nothing compared to the devaluation of the dollar that will happen.

@NeilMcCoyWard First thing it means is they take a loss because it's a fire sale. Good bargains for US financial houses. Buying what are in effect receipts for loans to US government. Yes, has an effect on US market, but it also means Europe loses money by dumping them. Take pain to give pain.

A red line has been crossed ⛔ Several major EU pension & hedge funds quietly dumped US Treasuries in the same week... Most people don't know what it really means yet...👇

🧵8/8 Debanking. Conscription threats. Thought-crime prosecutions. When systems feel stressed, governments tighten control, and capital gets cautious. As an investor and citizen, you have to see the pattern early. Follow @NeilMcCoyWard for calm, factual breakdowns of what’s coming next.

@Jason @jaykreps First - @jason what are the ‘issues’ with working and tax paying immigrants? And do you honestly believe the only ‘incentive’ is greed and money - for a lot of unfortunate humans migrating is survival.

@jaykreps There is such a simple solution to our immigration issues: fine business owners who employ illegal aliens. Problem solved. If we remove the incentive to come here illegally, immigrants will stop paying coyotes $20k to cross the border illegally. x.com/Jason/status/2…

Let’s not continue down this path. We need to enforce immigration laws but this isn’t the way.

@Timcast @Timcast Are you calling the insurrection ‘J6’ to make it sound cool or innocent?

This is the lie This is their evil No cops died on J6 No cops died because of J6 These people lie non fucking stop

@FoxNews Board of Peace!? With those sad, evil and gullible members it stinks more like a Board of Cheese 🤢🤮

PEACE OUT! President Trump tells Canadian PM Mark Carney that his invitation to join his "Board of Peace" has been withdrawn.

@lucenttrader @MarioNawfal @Trump It was embarrassing and he will get nothing.

@MarioNawfal It was good but he gave a clear message again. @Trump wants Greenland, and Europe will give it to him.

🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP RETURNS FROM DAVOS, LANDS AT ANDREWS Air Force One touches down 9:30 PM after bringing America First message to globalist central. How would you rate his Davos trip? x.com/EricLDaugh/sta…

@stackedgreen @realjaysneezy @NewsWire_US @grok Because if the Cold War and the thread of Russia to invade Western Europe

@realjaysneezy @NewsWire_US @grok why is there in the first place

@EricLDaugh Respected? No. Successful? No.

🚨 BREAKING: After a MASSIVELY successful trip to Davos, President Trump is WHEELS UP aboard Air Force One en route to the White House - Board of Peace - Greenland - Ukraine progress - RESPECTED on the world stage again Keep winning! Have a safe flight, Mr. President! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@OlenaRohoza “In a symbolic yet explosive dogfight, France’s Rafale fighter jet locked onto and scored a simulated “kill” against America’s F-35 stealth jet during NATO’s Trident Atlantic 25 exercise in Finland, raising fresh debates on stealth versus agility in modern warfare”

The Finns were asked to stop defeating American troops. During the NATO exercise Joint Viking in northern Norway, U.S. service members experienced noticeable difficulties, The Times reports. The organizers of the maneuvers asked Finnish reservists, who were playing the role of the opposing force, to “go easy” on the American soldiers. The Finns were told to stop beating the Americans, as it was humiliating and had a demoralizing effect on them.

@EqualHedge @EndWokeness I suspect that was the card played. The EU has nothing to gain by destroying the US economy - but will protect sovereignty 🇪🇺

@EndWokeness No we are not. EU holds 8 trillion in American assets and can dump them at anytime thus crashing the American economy overnight

Trump just posted this and pinned it. Are we actually getting Greenland?

@JanGold_ Better hurry and get first in line - rumours say the gold is not all there anymore.

Repatriate all European gold from the US, now!

@KimDotcom As it says in the ancient scriptures - He who can bankrupt a casino can bankrupt a super power 💸

After the Canada declaration that US empire is over the US bond market is dead. Everyone sells US bonds. There is no future. The US will default. It’s bankrupt. It’s over. Get out of USD denominated assets. Get into Gold and Silver.

@JimLaPorta Trouble is that the draft dodger certainly sees our fallen as losers and suckers. No gratefulness or respect - only sick and evil narcissism.

A Danish soldier gave me this patch in 2013 as a thank you for my service. Denmark lost 43 soldiers in Afghanistan, one of the highest per capita death rates among troop-contributing nations, with casualties primarily from combat in Helmand (where I was) between 2002 and 2014.

@RepJackKimble You’re broke. Nobody wants to board a sinking ship 💸

Congressman Kimble Decries Paid Greenlandian Protesters "We know these protesters are being paid. No one rejects a six-figure cash offer out of principle." open.substack.com/pub/representa…

@JohnCleese Everything is never enough. See how miserable the three stooges look. Their intern probably prompted the AI image generator with ‘stoic’ and ‘strong’ but got apathetic, empty and sad.

It's so childlike...

@CollectorAst @MarioNawfal The pen is mightier than the sword - and we all know TACO

@MarioNawfal How can we win? Let's wear caps with intimidating slogans! 😂😂😂

🇬🇱🇺🇸 Greenlanders and Danes are out here remixing the MAGA hat into “Make America Go Away.” Cold weather, colder vibes. Honestly kind of impressive how fast a slogan can travel and come back flipped.

@JohnCleese 😭

Don't watch this if you cry easily

@RpsAgainstTrump The worm in Stephen’s brains seem now to have gained plenary authority 🪱

Stephen Miller: “Local and state police have been ordered to stand down and surrender.” Surrender???

@ElijahSchaffer There is an urgent need for better access to mental health care in the US and education. @ElijahSchaffer you need help on both these issues.

Reason #67 why the USA should control Greenland
