Another week, another “shutdown” countdown.
At this point, the US Congress treats deadlines the way most people treat unread emails. Ignore, circle back, repeat.

This isn’t socialism.
It’s not free markets.
It’s state capitalism and it’s expanding.
Here’s why that should make you pause 🎥 youtu.be/VrWvO7ELf20?si=sTux…

Trump just dropped an AI Executive Order that rewrites who controls the future of artificial intelligence in America… and the plot twist is wild.

Ponzi Scheme Definition: Operates by using funds from new investors to pay returns to earlier investors. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to sustain payouts, but eventually collapses when it becomes unsustainable.
You may love Social Security, but the social security payment that you receive is not your money, you are paying for the people who came before you. The next generation pays for you.
Now, according to social security's Board of Trustees the fund will run out of money in 2035. Between the fact that your payment is not your money and that according to the trustees who are responsible for overseeing social security, the Social Security Trust will be out of money by 2035, it is a ponzi scheme.
The only question is will politicians do what needs to be done to keep SS sustainable and will Americans let them.
Destruction of property, regardless of if you hate @elonmusk and @Tesla, has never been a protected protest technique under the 1st Amendment. Anybody telling you otherwise is either a moron or outright trying to gaslight you.

Understanding these changes is crucial to navigating the evolving landscape of federal procurement.

These are the nations that have not met their NATO spending obligations (2% of GDP spent on defense).
Question: We’ve asked, cajoled, and chided them to meet their spending obligations and yet even with a significant war on their doorsteps, they haven’t increased their defense spending to obligatory levels. Therefore, why should @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance not give NATO the ultimatum that if these nations do not meet their 2% obligation by January 1, 2026 that either they must be kicked out of the alliance or the US is going to withdraw from NATO?
