アメリカの皆さん、私はアメリカが大好きな日本人の女性です。現在はなぜかイギリスに住んでいます。 ところで皆さんにどうしてもお伝えしておきたいことがあります。 日本とアメリカはかつて戦争をしました。 しかし、戦後の日本では占領軍としてやってきたアメリカ人を大歓迎しました。 なぜ敵だってアメリカ人をそんなに歓迎したかわかるでしょうか。 それは日本に来たアメリカ軍の人々が日本人に対して大変親切であったからです。 例えば私の祖母は夫フィリピンで亡くしているのですが、アメリカ軍のやっていたPXで雇われてまだ小さかった叔母を養うことができました。 当時の日本は戦争未亡人に対する扱いが大変厳しく、祖母は仕事を見つけることができませんでした。 しかし、そこでシングルマザーの祖母をすぐに雇ってくれたのがアメリカの軍の人々だったのです。 そして彼らは祖母にたくさんの食べ物を送りました。 クリスマスにはケーキや豪華な缶詰をくれたのです。 祖母は生涯そのような親切さを忘れることがありませんでした。 ですから、私がアメリカに留学することに大変賛成していました。 そして日本人は戦争はしていたのではありますが、アメリカがもたらした民主主義や自由者を歓迎しました。 それは多くの日本人が求めていたものだったからです。 そして、アメリカの人々は日本を民主化し、占領においても日本人を一生懸命助けてくれました。 日本人は戦争はしましたが、そのような恩は忘れないのです。 そのような経験があったために、日本人のアメリカ人に対する考え方は大変前向きです。 そして日本人はアメリカ人の明るさや正義感があるところが大好きです。 我々日本人はアメリカの人々が思うよりもずっとシンプルで素直なのです。 我々は言葉の裏を読んだり、行間を読むような事はしません。 他の歴史が長い国の人々は、そんな我々のことを単純で騙しやすいと言うふうに言いますが、私たちは狡猾なことをやるのが嫌いなのです。 そして私たちはアメリカ人も似たような性質を持っていると言うことを感じています。 だから私たちはアメリカ人が好きなのです。

Trump's goal is preventing ww3 where America and the west lose decisively (much of the navy sunk, at least one city nuked, Taiwan and Phillipines conquered, japan surrendering...all of Ukraine conquered, Chinese bases in Canada and Central America, America running out of critical meds and the us dollar destroyed..). So, he's deconstructing as much of the opposing sides strength as possible before the real war starts, not getting distracted by the weaker power-russia, encouraging peace where possible, and increasing the military budget and domestic industrial base...while forcing allies to actually choose which side they are on...

Is Iran partly about showing China its weaponry is junk, thus deterring an invasion of Taiwan?

You can argue that as long as kids are here, they should be raised properly with education and health regardless of immigration status- that pushing illegal immigrant kids and families to shadows causes other crime/health/culture issues... but I think this does more harm than good over the long term by encouraging law breaking and illegal workers, there really should be only a few benefits provided- a) ability to report crimes without being deported immediately b) hospital care for urgent emergencies but billed to illegal immigrant afterwards and c) respectful safe comfortable deportation with food and lodging during the process while in our custody. Jail time though for stealing social security numbers or fake employment documentation...

REP. CHIP ROY (R): The Supreme Court wrongly ruled in 1982 that Texas must fund the education of illegal alien children. There’s nothing in the Constitution that requires taxpayers to bear that burden, and it’s time to challenge it! @chiproytx @RepChipRoy

@feross The timing on this is wild. AI agents are auto-installing dependencies with zero review now. 100M weekly downloads and one bad version — npm's single point of failure meets an era where nobody reads what gets installed anymore.

Next time, let’s wait until Iran has nuclear-armed ICBMs, 10,000 ballistic missiles, a Chinese- and Russian-built military, a million attack drones, a fully operational terror network, and hundreds of billions to harden its economy. Then we’ll fight to reopen Hormuz.

Peter Thiel just compressed forty years of American decline into one sentence. Thiel: “Silicon Valley deals in the world of bits; most of the economy is the world of atoms.” For four decades, the most talented engineers alive funneled into a single corridor. Computers. Software. Mobile. Internet. Not because the physical world ran out of problems. Because solving them became illegal. Thiel: “It was a bad idea to become an aerospace engineer. These were all industries that were sort of in structural decline because they were getting outlawed, they were getting regulated to death.” Nuclear. Chemical. Mechanical. Aerospace. Field after field, regulated into silence before a generation of builders ever arrived. Thiel: “Computer science was the only sort of scientific, technical field that actually had a future in the 1980s.” So the builders went where building was still allowed. The physical world paid in decades. Founders Fund: “We wanted flying cars. Instead we got 140 characters.” That is not satire. That is the ledger. Now AI is forcing the reckoning no one scheduled. The intelligence being built inside data centers does not stay inside data centers. It moves into manufacturing. Into energy. Into aerospace. Into every domain that was locked and left to decay. That gap is closing. Faster than most institutions can process. America fills it. Or cedes it.

Let's translate this statement for the idiots out there: We no longer believe we have a blank check to sit on our A$$es from the Americans so we will begin investing in our military like the Americans have been asking us for the past 40 years
RS Archer@archer_rs

Astonishing statement from General Carsten Breuer, chief of the German defence staff. "Germany no longer regards the USA as a reliable defence partner. We are assuming conflict with Russia in the next few years is inevitable, we are re-arming.

🚨 BREAKING California’s failed attempt to undermine parents’ constitutional rights has resulted in a staggering $4.5 million award of attorneys’ fees after the plaintiffs’ SCOTUS win in Mirabelli v. Bonta. It’s too bad the politicians responsible won’t be the ones to pay.

NATO: If Europe won’t allow us to use the bases we man and fund for their defense when we need them we ought to close them down and remove our troops from Europe. If they get attacked by Russia we can discuss whether or not we have the time to help.

France must avoid another forever war in North America. Intervening against Britain would violate every principle of international law. Also, have you seen the opposition? A bunch of tax protesters dumping tea and calling it a revolution. This is who we’re backing? We go in to “support freedom,” and suddenly we’re nation-building a bunch of wig-wearing lawyers who think they can design a republic. Yes, there are grievances—but do we really want to empower unvetted rebel groups with muskets and French funding? Regime change rarely works. You remove a stable monarchy and replace it with… what, exactly? A loose coalition of farmers, merchants, and amateur philosophers? Pass.

For a decade now, I'm convinced the political ruling class in the USA has just been playing chicken and theater, waiting for one political party to outlaw the other and use the military or illegitimate laws/taxes/culture/immigration to crush dissent and then inflating away the government debt. Biden had to win to avoid exposure of democrat corruption and protect the deep state plus globalist/pro-western-decline policy. Trump had to win to protect traditional America, especially tech and business + free speech being controlled by the government. But, he really hasn't taken offensive action yet and the democrats will with European support if they get elected next. We are at the first over the Rubicon destroy the other moment...both parties cant co-rule or co-exist and not within the small government system, not unless the Supreme Court wields the knife... which the court has so far avoided.

It is no surprise our legislature has permanently failed. This is the inevitable end of all legislatures, regardless of the breadth of the franchise. It is merely part of the cycle of regimes, identified by Polybius. As a society decays, the vision of the common good dies. As divisions widen, the legislature becomes sclerotic and ineffective. The inevitable next step is authoritarianism, because it is the only cure, and when a crisis comes, some man will seize his chance and destroy the combination of mob rule (ochlocracy) and oligarchy we live under. True, modern ideological anarcho-tyranny is in some ways a new thing (among other new things), but the end result will be the same, perhaps faster than would happen otherwise. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
Josiah Lippincott@jlippincott_

Congress is dead. It cannot pass laws, cannot pass a budget, cannot exert control over foreign policy, cannot restrain its own spending, cannot make immigration policy, and cannot secure elections. The very concept of standing legislatures is broken. Total failure.

Shatner is wrong. Star Trek was political, but it wasn't preachy. It made you think instead of telling you how to think. It changed minds organically instead of trying to force an ideology. And most important, it was well-written by actual writers instead of hack activist.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse

Star Trek star William Shatner on politics: "Star Trek wasn't political. I'm not political; I can't even vote in the US. So to put a geocentric label on interstellar characters is silly." Is this how celebrities should act?

Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform”
Huge news! Not public yet, but the PENTAGON has already made a move that will break the SAT/ACT duopoly that has controlled American education for generations. Starting in 2027 any college or university with ROTC will be required to put the Classic Learning Test on equal footing. People in the educational world know this is a huge deal because standardized testing, especially college admissions, inevitably drives curriculum. This could signal the beginning of the universal adoption of the CLT. We’re talking 1700 institutions. What’s tested is taught, and now a classical test will be on equal footing with SAT/ACT
