I do NOT believe that the Empire is accepting reality and resigning itself to a multi-polar world. There are plenty of people who buy this line of thinking. I say there's no way. Once you believe yourself to (literally) be a superior human being, and have the ambition to rule the whole earth, you don't just give that up. When you have a lot of these types of people that run a Borg-like Empire, everything and everyone must assimilate. Assimilate into what? Into it. No God ... no nations ... no cultures ... no absolute truth ... Just one universal and "diverse" pile of humanity that the Borg-like Empire will oversee - digitally - like a zookeeper. The Empire will not give this desired end up. Multi-polar negates the whole thing. Multi-polar means there are competing powers, sovereign nations, distinct cultures, religions, traditions... Multi-polar means those who are not "superior," but who are believed by the Empire to be "inferior," have their own spheres on this earth. They can be left alone. I don't believe for one second that the Empire is only interested in "its hemisphere." It wants it all ... Either now, or later.

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...
