This interview by @pmarca explains what is really behind Jensen Huang's ouster as Nvidia CEO.

“LAWYER UP!” screeched incoming House Oversight Chairman Robert Garcia, practically jerking himself off over the prospect of dragging Trump, his family, and his entire administration through another taxpayer-funded Democratic witch hunt.
Then Trump's White House lawyers delivered a magnificent kick in the fucking teeth: Abuse your congressional subpoena powers to harass and intimidate political enemies, and your own conduct can become the subject of legal scrutiny.
Oh, you glorious, arrogant, self-righteous fucking idiots.
Democrats were so busy planning their political revenge orgy that they apparently forgot the Constitution applies to their miserable asses, too. Garcia was strutting around threatening the “Trump crime family,” while Representative Analilia Mejia gleefully promised to scatter subpoenas like Mardi Gras beads.
These power-drunk assholes were practically fighting over who got to pull the trigger on their congressional harassment machine first.
Then White House counsel Will Scharf reminded the entire clown convention about Trump v. Mazars, the Supreme Court decision establishing that congressional investigations require legitimate legislative purposes. Congress doesn't get to turn subpoena authority into a personal fucking revenge franchise just because its members have a pathological hatred of Donald Trump.
And the really beautiful part? These sanctimonious dipshits have been supplying the evidence of their own political intentions with their big fucking mouths.
Nobody forced Garcia to advertise his revenge fantasies. Nobody made Mejia celebrate subpoena power like a drunken idiot throwing beads off a Bourbon Street balcony. They couldn't even wait to take control before broadcasting how eagerly they intended to unleash the congressional machinery against their enemies.
Scharf simply reminded them that their public threats can become relevant when someone challenges the purpose of their subpoenas.
And Garcia's response to that constitutional warning?
He started bitching about a “weaponized DOJ.”
A FUCKING WEAPONIZED DOJ!
You insufferable, hypocritical little shit.
You just threatened to unleash congressional investigations against the president's family and administration, and now you're clutching your pearls because the White House reminded you that abusing government power carries consequences?
The sheer fucking audacity is breathtaking.
These are the same political jackasses who spent years applauding investigations targeting Trump. Now they're discovering that the Constitution contains actual restrictions on congressional authority, and suddenly they're screaming about intimidation.
Apparently, their definition of government abuse begins the instant someone threatens to examine THEIR conduct.
And here's the part that makes this entire shitshow so spectacularly humiliating: Trump's lawyers didn't have to manufacture a scandal or invent some elaborate conspiracy. Democrats eagerly supplied their own inflammatory statements, complete with threats, swagger, and enough self-important bullshit to fertilize half the country.
They strutted into Washington waving subpoenas, imagining themselves as untouchable political executioners.
Then somebody reminded them that constitutional limits apply to the assholes holding the gavels.
Now the same pompous bastards who were practically salivating over their next political inquisition are whining because somebody dared to challenge their authority.
What an absolutely magnificent display of political stupidity.
Robert Garcia wanted everyone terrified of his congressional committee. He wanted Trump's people sweating, scrambling for attorneys, and trembling before his precious subpoena powers.
Instead, his opening act has given the White House an opportunity to explain exactly how congressional investigators can cross constitutional boundaries themselves.
Congratulations, Bobby. You managed to turn your own swaggering threat into a fucking warning about your own conduct before your revenge circus even got underway.
You opened your big mouth and screamed, “LAWYER UP!”
Now go find yourself a goddamn mirror, you pompous little prick.
YOU FIRST.

One of the reasons I don’t like socialism is public bathrooms.
A public bathroom is about as basic a shared resource as you can get. Everyone gets to use it, and everyone is expected to show a little consideration for the next person. The rules aren’t particularly complicated.
And yet, a shocking number of adults can’t even manage to throw their paper towels in the trash. Some will pee all over a toilet seat and leave it for the next person. And the next person, who didn’t make the mess, certainly isn’t going to clean it up either.
Now imagine trusting these same people to collectively manage an entire economy.
We can’t even get everyone to agree that cleaning up their own pee is a personal responsibility, but somehow we’re supposed to believe everyone will become hardworking, responsible, and considerate when we’re sharing the fruits of each other’s labor.
Now, compare your average public restroom to a Buc-ee’s bathroom.
Buc-ee’s figured something out. Clean bathrooms attract customers. Customers spend money. So the company has a financial incentive to keep those bathrooms spotless. They hire people to maintain them, hold employees accountable, and compete for your business.
And people will literally plan their road trips around stopping there.
That’s capitalism. Someone recognized a problem, found a way to solve it, and made money because people valued the result.
Of course, not everyone contributes equally to society. Some people work harder, make better decisions, and take more responsibility. Others seem perfectly content making life more difficult for everyone around them.
I believe people should have the freedom to live however they choose. I also believe in helping people who genuinely need it.
But I have a hard time accepting an economic philosophy that expects me to trust everyone to act in the collective interest when some people can’t be bothered to clean up after themselves.
Buc-ee’s figured out how to get people to willingly pay for a better experience.
Socialism wants me to believe the people leaving paper towels on the floor will suddenly become responsible stewards of everyone else’s resources.
I’m going with the beaver.

Let's connect the dots.
In a matter of days: The Economist runs a headline saying Jensen Huang must resign, and that his shouldn't be the only head to roll. An influential newsletter in "AI safety" circles demands the same. Lawmakers call for him to go. The new Democratic Congress announces a flood of AI bills. One congresswoman wants, on day one, a pause on advanced AI and a ban on superintelligence. A bill proposes a federal agency that would decide who is allowed to build models.
And the target at the center of it all is the man supplying the chips for the entire AI revolution. The one publicly defending open models. The one fighting restrictions in Washington.
I'm not saying the scandal is made up. I'm saying: look at who is using it, and for what.
To understand, you have to ask one question. What does the power of what I call the globalists actually rest on?
Not money. Not weapons. A monopoly: the monopoly on expertise.
The technocracy in Brussels and Washington, the big international institutions, the NGOs, the major newsrooms, the consulting firms: the whole system lives off an asymmetry. They know, you don't. They read the 400-page reports, you don't. They interpret the numbers, you live with the consequences. They write the rules, and you pay lawyers to understand them.
Hayek saw it: central power feeds on the pretense of a knowledge no one really has. For decades, that pretense was impossible to challenge. It took years of study, networks, resources.
Now imagine superintelligence.
Any citizen can audit a budget in ten minutes. Read an EU directive and see every consequence. Check an official statistic. Tear apart a junk study. Draft a legal challenge. Build a company alone, without asking anyone for permission.
The asymmetry disappears. And with it, the monopoly.
We've seen this movie before. Before Gutenberg, the Church held the monopoly on interpreting the texts. The printing press put the Bible in everyone's hands, and a century later, all of Europe had changed. AI is the printing press of expertise. And the people holding the monopoly know it.
So they do what every threatened elite has always done. They don't fight the technology head-on. They slow it down. They regulate it. They license it. And when they can't stop it, they try to own it.
Every scandal becomes a lever. Every fear becomes an argument. Every incident becomes a bill.
And here's the part almost everyone misses.
People will say: "So it's a conspiracy?" No. It's much worse.
Nobody needs to coordinate. When an entire caste feels its monopoly threatened, every one of its members spontaneously does the same thing, at the same time, for the same reasons. The columnist, the regulator, the activist, the politician. No secret meeting required. All it takes is a shared interest.
The scary part isn't that it's coordinated. It's that it doesn't need to be.
That's why this goes far beyond Jensen Huang. If you can take down the most strategic person in global tech in a week, the message to every builder is clear: accelerate, and you're next.
Pareto said history is a graveyard of aristocracies.
The aristocracy of expertise can feel itself heading there.
Superintelligence won't ask them for permission.

🧠 J’ai voulu apprendre à raisonner comme un gauchiste, alors je suis allé au contact de quelques militants LFI.
Après plusieurs échanges, voici ce que j’ai appris (c'est pas si compliqué, vous allez voir) :
- Pour augmenter les salaires, il suffit de décider que les entreprises doivent payer davantage. La question du financement est secondaire.
- Pour financer les dépenses publiques, il suffit de taxer les riches. Et si les recettes ne suffisent pas, c’est qu’on ne les a pas assez taxés.
- Quand un service public fonctionne mal, la solution est d’augmenter son budget. Surtout ne pas se demander comment il est géré.
- Quand une entreprise réalise des bénéfices, c’est qu’elle exploite quelqu’un. Quand l’État dépense à perte, c’est qu’il investit dans l’avenir.
- Pour lutter contre l’inflation, il suffit de bloquer les prix. L’offre, la demande et les coûts de production sont des détails.
- Travailler moins tout en gagnant plus est parfaitement possible. Il suffit de voter une loi.
- Si quelqu’un remet en question ces raisonnements, inutile de lui répondre : traitez-le de néolibéral, de privilégié ou de fasciste.
Donc si je résume, les contraintes économiques sont TOUJOURS FACULTATIVES. C'est une règle d'or si vous voulez devenir de vrais gauchistes.

How about a list of the sponsors who remain sponsors who, by doing so, make clear that they support this hateful and threatening rhetoric?
UPDATE: 19 COMPANIES NOW REPORTED AS HAVING ENDED OR RULED OUT SPONSORSHIPS WITH JENNIFER WELCH’S “I’VE HAD IT” PODCAST!
The fallout continues for left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch and her co-host Angie Sullivan after they laughed at a social media post about digging up Charlie Kirk and shooting him again.
During their November 5 episode, the two laughed at the disgusting remark referencing the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The backlash was immediate, and advertisers began distancing themselves from the podcast.
Now, 19 companies have been identified as no longer sponsoring or advertising with the podcast, or as having ruled out future partnerships.
Here is the updated list:
1. Cash App - Confirmed it no longer sponsors the podcast and condemned violence.
2. Chewy - Confirmed it no longer sponsors or supports the show.

The Weaponisation of Language
One of the most effective tactics of the modern left has been the corruption of language itself. Words that once had clear meaning have been twisted beyond recognition - redefined to suit their agenda and silence dissent.
They call censorship “safety.”
They call propaganda “education.”
They call perversion “pride.”
They call cowardice “tolerance.”
They call patriotism “hate.”
Through manipulation of words, they’ve managed to reshape moral reality. By controlling the language, they control what people are allowed to think. Change the definition, and you change the debate.
When “man” and “woman” become “identities,” when truth becomes “offensive,” and when disagreement is rebranded as “violence,” reason itself is under attack.
It’s not ignorance - it’s strategy. Because when the meaning of words collapses, truth becomes whatever they say it is. And that’s exactly how control begins.
Language built our civilisation. The twisting of it will destroy it - unless we start speaking plainly again.
“When words lose their meaning, people lose their freedom.” - Confucius

Democrats have controlled California almost unopposed for *decades* and they’re saying people want change because the state has gotten so bad
So now there are even more Democrats in the state legislature to ensure it gets even worse
California Assembly Speaker @RobertRivas_CA @CASpeakerRivas (D-Salinas) speaks on Democrats expanding their supermajorities in both chambers of the Legislature to potential historic highs.
"It's going to be historic in numbers and size."
"People want change. They are tired of being tired. We have to ensure we are delivering results."

Most people don’t know that the best-selling car in the world is the Tesla Model Y.
And the second and third best-selling cars are much cheaper.
Tesla Model Y has been the world’s best-selling passenger vehicle for 3 consecutive years
2023 → #1
2024 → #1
2025 → #1
Model Y alone has surpassed 4 million global sales, while Tesla has now delivered more than 10 million vehicles worldwide
Not just the best-selling EV
Model Y beat every gas, hybrid and electric passenger vehicle worldwide for three straight years
An electric car reaching this scale would have sounded impossible not long ago
Now millions of Model Ys are on roads around the world

1 year ago, @ScottAdamsSays predicted Trump would *ultimately* have the greatest presidential approval rating in history.
"The most natural arc for where this ends up is that Trump's poll numbers will continue to drop until — to borrow his language — no one's ever seen anything like it."
"He might break records for the lowest popularity of a sitting president."
"The second part of the prediction is that by the time he leaves office — but it could be maybe shortly after — he'll have the best poll numbers of any president of all time."
"But you're going to have to wait to find out if I'm right about that."
The first part of Scott's prediction already appears to be coming true.
The second part remains to be seen.
But Stephen Miller is exactly who Trump would appoint as his Chief of Staff for a historic final 2 years of accomplishments.
Never count out Trump's ability to make an epic comeback.
Scott was a legendary predictor.

People are confusing political theater and emotion with how the real world works.
The demand for super intelligence is only increasing and we don’t yet have at scale humanoid bots, self driving cars globally, AI in mfg, massive disease discovery , and even close to full AI penetration in business or personal agents scaled which will increase demand maybe millions of times where we are today.
Supply will eventually meet that demand whether it is built in the US, other foreign countries, and in space. The US controls their own destiny. We can choose to be AI sovereign, on the cutting edge, create the most amount of jobs/wealth, and be as secure as possible - making deals that greatly net benefit local communities too. We still have the opportunity to have our cake and eat it too… Or we can fall into a mob driven psyop used as a political wedge to help get one party elected. My gut tells me deals will get made.
But to be clear, the AI hyperscalers / cloud companies do not need US soil to build AI infrastructure. I think they prefer to have it in the US but these are highly resourced global companies who will go where is needed to fulfill demand. My other guess is the exec branch will start allocating significant amounts of federal land if local communities make themselves a bottleneck.
If you take one thing away from this post, just know AI infrastructure will get built to meet demand wherever in the world or universe is required. Taking the results of a midterm election in one country (that was mostly expected to be split gov outcome) and applying it to the demand/supply for super intelligence is literally absurd.
There is no fact-based argument for a reduction of data center build out due to an already expected split government midterm result or the state voting initiatives.
1. If a local/state gov doesn’t want to make a deal, the cloud/hyperscaler will move to one who will . This isn’t binary, most locals are making deals. The builds over the next 1-1.5yrs are already permitted.
2. If the US as a whole rejects enough land mass where the demand for AI factories cannot be fulfilled in the US, those AI factories will move offshore repeating the prior 3 decades of globalization and hollowing out of our middle class. It was dumb back then and even dumber now given the geopolitical national security implications of AI sovereignty…
