Let me introduce myself.
I'm a happily married Southern gal, living just a hair outside of Charleston, SC. My Hubs and I have one grown son who has our only grandchild who is currently in Clemson U. We have three pit bull bully breed dogs, all three rescues; we adopted two from a local rescue, and we brought the last one straight home from the street. And yes, we think of them as our "children" - they may have four legs but they are still our babies. You will see a lot of rescue dog advocacy from me if you follow my account.
I am a cancer survivor, a rare endometrial stromal sarcoma, living on borrowed time as the saying goes and I thank God for each and every day.
I am a Christian who believes Spiritual Warfare is a real and present thing.
I am a writer, currently working on a book, an avid reader - mostly history, and a thinker.
I am a Libertarian, with a Big "L" but vote almost exclusevely Republican. Not because I buy into everything they spout, but because they at least try to protect the Constitution.
I love to "know stuff" ... otherwise known as AuDHD, with a concentration of politics and AI. It's like I was born for this time in human history. Seriously.
Oh, and I have an opinion on pretty much everything. But I think the most important thing to know is I love to interact with and support people here on X.
God Bless the Japanese! They even protest in a neat and polite fasion.
I'm not making fun. I spent four years in Japan, I admire and respect them greatly.
I actually argue the opposite. It will be expensive to build the plants, granted. But they will be "manned" by automation and AI, very little if any "expensive Amercian labor" to say nothing of the most stable of the goverments in the crazy unstable world of ours.
Manufacturing in the US where the vast percentage of the customer base is will be a cost effective long range play. (IMHO - YMMV)
Palmer Luckey exposes why mega corporations don’t want manufacturing to return to America: “They want to outsource everything and hire cheaper, non-American labor.” 🇺🇸
“These analysts telling you it’s going to cost $37,000 to build an American iPhone or $100,000 to buy an American computer are trying to prop up a status quo that mega corporations want to keep going.
They want to outsource everything. They want to hire cheaper, non-American labor. They’re willing to say and do anything to convince you that it can’t be fixed, that it can’t come back to America.
How do I know they’re wrong? Because I make stuff in America every day.
We’re not going to let people lie about what America can and can’t do anymore. We’re just going to do it.”
Worth the listen and then sitting with it for a bit.
卧槽,太TMD爆炸了
硅谷顶级投资人 Jason Calacanis 刚刚对着华盛顿撂下一句震碎硅谷的狠话:哪怕天塌下来也必须不惜一切代价死保黄仁勋,一旦把这位执掌三万亿美元帝国、垄断全球百分之九十 AI 算力底座的统帅按在替补席上,等于美国在国运牌桌上亲手自断双臂。
他这段毫不留情的原话切片,我第一反应是硅谷终于有人敢站出来指着政客的鼻子骂醒他们了,
很多人以前看英伟达市值一路狂飙,总觉得它已经是一台全自动运转的印钞机,换哪个职业经理人坐镇都能躺赢,
但 Jason 直接在镜头前摊开了最残酷的地缘底牌:
把老黄按在冷板凳上
对手做梦都不想看到他继续站在前线统领这家公司,这正是他们精准锁定老黄、集中一切火力搞他的根本原因,
在这个节骨眼上,美国必须用战略脑子下棋,而不是带着泄愤和报复的情绪自毁长城。
这就好比台积电先进封装产线正在全负荷运转抢交付窗口,厂长却因为看不惯总工程师脾气太硬,当场拔掉主控机柜的电源线自砸看板。
这背后其实藏着一条极度冷峻的超级工程铁律,
英伟达根本不是一家靠 PPT 汇报运转的传统巨头,老黄生生砍掉了所有副总裁汇报层级,一个人直接穿透六十名一线主管,把台积电 CoWoS 产能分配、NVLink 铜缆互连动线和全球云厂的机柜交付周期死死咬合在同一个物理齿轮上,
所以大家也别再拿传统反垄断的官僚算盘去折腾这位算力统帅了,当一场决定国运的工业竞赛已经打到刺刀见红的决胜局,任何出于内部泄愤而砍向自家主帅的刀子,都是在亲手把整座算力帝国的城门钥匙奉送给对手
I like DeSantis - mostly. But while he is a great governor and does an amazing job we need to remember he's backed up by people who support his agenda instead of the DC Swamp and Chatham House sabotaging efforts at every turn and tittle like President Trump has to endure.
🚨 AMAZING: Gov. Ron DeSantis has paid off 54% of ALL the debt Florida ever racked up, and cut the budget 4 years STRAIGHT.
That is how you run a state. PROUD to be a Floridian!

And the truly tragic thing is that everyone with half a brain cell knew the MOU was BS and a simple well trod tactic of Iran and the Iranian puppets operating around the Middle East.
Trump sees the Vance-led MOU as a costly strategic failure that gave the Islamic Republic billions in oil revenue and critical time to regroup.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump has privately criticized the June agreement and questioned whether it was a costly mistake. The White House denies that he regrets it.
The MOU lifted American pressure before the Islamic Republic delivered any irreversible concessions.
The United States began removing its naval blockade, authorized Iranian oil sales and offered access to frozen assets. In return, the regime promised further negotiations over its nuclear program and temporary commercial passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian oil exports surged from approximately 65,000 barrels per day in May to 1.75 million barrels per day in June.
The regime exported more than 52 million barrels worth an estimated $4.5 billion, providing an immediate financial lifeline for the IRGC, its military programs and its proxy network.
Yet the Islamic Republic did not surrender its enriched uranium, dismantle its enrichment infrastructure or relinquish its leverage over Hormuz.
The MOU deferred those questions to future negotiations while establishing on-site downblending as the minimum possible treatment of the stockpile. The regime retained the material, the infrastructure and the ability to reverse course.
It also placed sanctions relief, frozen assets and a reconstruction package of at least $300 billion on the table before a final agreement had been secured.
The Islamic Republic took the economic relief and then returned to coercion.
The IRGC resumed attacks on commercial shipping, the Hormuz arrangement collapsed and the United States was forced to revoke the oil authorization and restore its blockade.
But the regime kept the billions of dollars, breathing room and time it had gained.
Vance was central to the diplomatic track. He helped negotiate the framework, led the talks and publicly defended the result.
The central failure was not diplomacy. It was sequencing.
The United States surrendered enforceable leverage before receiving enforceable concessions. The Islamic Republic monetized the pause, preserved its nuclear assets and resumed pressure after securing the immediate benefits.
The June MOU was presented as an off-ramp from war. In practice, it became an escape route for the Islamic Republic.

Since when do Liberals care about the laws or the Constitution. And in this twat's case, I doubt she even knows them.
Colorado State Senator Iman Jodeh, who’s celebrated as the first muslim elected to the Colorado legislature, is advertising an internship program at the Colorado Capitol
Qualifications are you have to be muslim or north african.
This is illegal.

I tried to remember this quote the other day and couldn't, and of course I couldn't find it searching for it either. This time I book marked this stunning piece of "how"
"The engineer who actually built the algorithm stealing the election for Biden looked at me like I was an idiot and asked, "Do you think we stole the election here in the blue counties? We're smarter than that.
No, we shaved off votes in the red counties in the countryside where Trump was strong, and we left the blue counties untouched. We shaved off 10 percent in Douglas County (COLORADO) and 10% in Mesa County (COLORADO) and other red counties until Biden's count was over 50 percent statewide." - Page 185 xitter.twitterapi.xyz/Rasmussen_Poll/status/…

I thought all imigrants from these countries were doctors, nurses, and lawyers...
.@Grok, is this true?
Mostly yes — the core claim is grounded in real official Danish government data, with important caveats about the age of the numbers and how they are presented.
Denmark’s Ministry of Finance (Finansministeriet) is unusually transparent and has published detailed calculations of immigrants’ and descendants’ net fiscal contribution (taxes and other revenues paid minus public expenditures on benefits, healthcare, education, housing support, policing, etc.), broken down by origin.
What the official numbers show
Denmark uses the category MENAPT (Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, and Turkey).
In the most recent comprehensive analysis (based on 2019 data, revised and published in 2023):MENAPT immigrants had an average net cost of about 74,000 DKK per person (~$10,500–11,500 depending on exchange rates).
In 2018 data the figure was around 85,000 DKK per person.
The broader non-Western group (especially MENAPT) has driven large aggregate net costs — tens of billions of DKK per year.
Western immigrants (EU, North America, etc.) have been net contributors (often in the tens of thousands of DKK positive per person on average).
These are the figures the post is referencing. The ~$11,000 per person for the MENAPT group and the positive contribution from Western immigrants are reasonable approximations of the published data. Age-adjusted and generational breakdowns have also shown substantial net costs for the MENAPT/non-Western groups (descendants often look expensive in snapshots because many are still children or young).
Bottom line: The post accurately reflects that official Danish Ministry of Finance accounting has repeatedly shown large net fiscal costs from MENAPT-origin immigration while Western immigration has been fiscally positive. The dramatic framing (“brutal,” “biggest lies”) is commentary, and the exact dollar figures are approximate conversions of older data. The underlying official statistics are real and well-documented.
Denmark actually did the math on mass migration, and the results are brutal
Their Ministry of Finance counted every tax paid and every public expense for every resident, broken down by where they came from and how old they are
Immigrants from the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan and Turkey cost the state about $11,000 PER PERSON every single year. Western immigrants pay in about $7,800 more than they take
The first group is a net cost at EVERY age of their life
"The economy needs migration" is one of the biggest lies ever sold to the West

I think I'm gonna frame this and put it on my wall.
It's that good.
There is no longer an excuse to be ignorant of something.
NB: Reminder, there is a difference between being ignorant and being stupid. One is curable, and one isn't. Don't be ignorant of the distinction 😎
Does anyone else listen to Julia McCoy? She shares a lot to say about AI and that's mainly why I watch her YT channel, but this about "Agenda 2030" and Charles Schwab. It's very ... informative.
