Withdraw us from NATO and from being under the thumb of Israel. Neither serve U.S. interests.

America First ... driven out. Israel First ... celebrated.

I love technology...but its primary purpose should be serve the people; and their own individual ends that they seek. In our current environment, the primary purpose of technology is to serve the desire of totalitarians who want to put us into a digital prison. I'm happy to see people are fighting back against the data centers, and that they're being cancelled and postponed at a growing rate.

The only time the MAGA-types are good are when the Left are in power. They make good, rational and constitutional arguments. But once "their guy" is in? Horrendous. As bad as the Left. Power corrupts the politicians in power, and the minds of those who blindly cheer them on. That's why America is in the pathetic shape that it's in. Two-sides, squeezing the very life out of the nation, like a vice.

I remember when Trump nominated Rubio. Even the MAGA influencers were punched in the gut by it. (They flipped, of course). But we're getting exactly what was expected by Trump hiring Rubio. Neocon mania. That's why it hurt back then. Picking Rubio was one of the earliest signs that Trump wasn't serious about fixing our country.

The Left never learns that communism doesn't work. The Right never learns that nation-building doesn't work. Mamdani won't create utopia in NYC. Trump won't re-make Venezuela. But the American people, in both cases, will bare the cost of their failures.

The opportunity was there to shrink the state, free Americans, and stop the endless wars. Trump was voted in to do that. He went in the opposite direction. The state expands, Americans are economically crushed...and the invasion of the world continues.

America was destroyed by Empire, because it’s always Empire First. What happens out there always has higher priority than what happens here. If Trump thinks he’s going to “run” Venezuela, it means Venezuela’s problems become our problems. Even $38 trillion in debt and a swiftly declining standard of living for us Americans will not stop the Empire (i.e., the interests that control it). Invading the world continues…

Trump rings in the New Year with Netanyahu...because of course he would... A day later...

Watching Republican politicians criticize Mamdani’s “collectivism” and give lip service to “free markets.” Republicans despise free markets in practice. They pass Big Bankruptcy Bills and grow the government like a noxious weed. They may not pass out money to daycares, but they’ll pass it out to tech tyrants, merchants of death and foreign nations. Republicans are “collectivists” too. They just don’t use the word.
