Americans spent 2025 convinced indian H-1Bs were eating their lunch meanwhile chinese labs ran 24,000 fake accounts to copy claude. deepseek, moonshot, minimax, alibaba. anthropic caught 7 separate campaigns US intelligence says a suspected chinese asset got close to Jensen Huang and the online hate against indians? researchers found most of the engagement on the loudest anti-indian accounts was fake, coming from foreign bot farms. so the people who actually helped build american tech got yelled at while the people who actually copied it got cheap models, spy access and a free culture war wrong enemy, America

Asked my dad for his take on the #JensenHuang story. FWIW, he's 74 years old and a retired Taiwanese businessman...here's what he said: -"Jensen has pretty good taste..." 😂 -"If he didn't have a mistress that would be weird..." 🤷‍♂️ -"He definitely needs to have at least one mistress, probably a few, so that he can show his Chinese customers he is a successful businessman..." 🌶️

On the Jensen Huang-Alice Huang affair, you have to give the MSS credit for running another successful op. They are good and getting better. I have seen some takes that it is no big deal he had an affair with an alleged PRC spy because he needed no pillow talk convincing to push for looser export controls, but that misses a few things: He is (was?) text and phone buddies with President Trump, so if he divulged anything about his conversations with Trump to her, or his thoughts about Trump or chatter about China policy or frankly anything from Trump, that would be valuable to any foreign intelligence service, and especially to the MSS; Was she ever alone with his phone or computer, say when he got up to use the bathroom? Are Nvidia IT/device policies for travel to Taiwan and Singapore looser than those for travel to the mainland? What value would there be to the MSS to have physical access to the devices of the Nvidia CEO?; He is the chip allocator in chief, so a good relationship with him likely meant more chips for the MegaSpeed front and the entities back in the PRC to which those chips flowed. With the new Congress, expect subpoenas and public hearings in which he is trashed and he and Nvidia are further damaged. What a win for the MSS, to have such access to the head of the most important company in the world, and to now get to watch as politicians and shorts attack him and Nvidia. There is rarely just one lie, so don’t be surprised if the blast radius from this mess expands. And there is already the SuperMicro case…

Warren Buffett put 5 billion dollars into Bank of America after a call center refused to transfer him to the CEO. Brian Moynihan tells it plainly: Buffett got into the phones first and asked to speak to him. They do not send everybody through. Berkshire's CFO found a banker who knew the right people inside BofA. That's how the line opened. Buffett got Moynihan on the phone and said he wanted to invest. Moynihan told him the bank didn't need the capital. Buffett said that's exactly why he was calling. They spoke for the first time in Moynihan's life on a Monday at eleven. The agreement was signed Tuesday by eight or nine in the morning. The money was in by Thursday. That was August 2011. The U.S. had just lost its AAA rating. Mortgage lawsuits from Countrywide and Merrill were stacking up against the bank. The stock had been cut in half that year, down to $7. Regulators were watching capital levels closely. Buffett got terms nobody else could get: preferred shares paying 6%, plus warrants to buy 700 million shares at $7.14. Berkshire exercised those warrants years later and turned the position into more than triple the initial stake. Here is the part that matters more than the phone call. Moynihan said it himself: a common shareholder who bought Bank of America stock that same day would have done just as well as Buffett did. Same stock surge, same recovery. The only thing Buffett had that the shareholder didn't was the courage to write five billion dollars into a bank everyone else was fleeing, at the exact moment the headlines were worst. The deal wasn't the edge. The willingness to act while afraid was. The tape is free to bookmark and watch.

Where was Osama Bin Laden hiding for 10 years ? 1) South Asia 2) Pakistan
Sorry, but the term south Asian actually makes a lot more sense than Indian. India is a national construct, composed of dozens of ethnic groups and linguistic groups many of those groups stretch across Nepal, Pakistan Bangladesh, etc.

Dude looks like he lives or is based in India. Seems clueless on the racial hatred Trump’s party and MAGA acolytes spew on Indian-Americans under the false pretext of Visas. Just pls ‘Go back to India’ stop making a clown of yourself!
A moment of shared light in the Oval Office. 🪔 Honored to celebrate Diwali with President @realDonaldTrump and proud to gift him with a copy of the Hanuman Chalisa, Tulsidas's hymn to Lord Hanuman that millions of us recite for courage, devotion and strength. As the diyas were lit, my prayer was for friendship between India and America, and for the triumph of light over darkness. Jug Jug Jiyo, a blessing many of us grew up hearing, means "may you live for ages." It is the wish behind everything I do, and today I made it for everyone around the world: peace, prosperity, good health and longevity. Happy Diwali. Jug Jug Jiyo. 🙏 @TheVikasKhanna @DhallaRuby @WhiteHouse

Dear Democrats, You won your historic victory on Tuesday with the help of our America First coalition on 4 key basic issues. 1. End foreign wars, war in Iran, and funding for Israel. 2. Reduce cost of living and gas/diesel (economy) 3. End corruption in Gov 4. Reduce cost of healthcare/health insurance Which were also key components of the mandate delivered to Trump and Republicans, which they betrayed and failed to deliver. Your party has two factions, older establishment Dems and younger populists Dems. If the New Democrat majority returns to issues that lost your majority and presidency in 2024 and doesn’t stay focused on those 4 main issues, then the American populists movement that swung it big for you this cycle will not vote for you in 2028. For example, bringing back 2020-2024 issues like woke, identity politics, forcing trans issues, gun control, Covid vaccine mandates, and open borders are not the issues that drove this massive blue tsunami. Allowing the older establishment Democrats to run back to those issues that were defeated in the 2024 election would be a very grave mistake, tone deaf, and would completely undermine the opportunity you have before you. The country didn’t suddenly join the Democrat Party with a sworn allegiance to always vote Democrat. The country voted to end Trump and to refocus back to the main kitchen table issues that are hurting their lives. And most of the younger generations of voters could care less about team party politics and just beating the other side. The future is all about, “deliver results for Americans” and whoever can get it done. To be very clear, I’m conservative and have voted Republican my entire life, but went into open rebellion and war against Trump and Republicans, the man I worked tirelessly to put in office because he betrayed his promises and the Republican Party turned back to it’s repulsive neocon elite donor focused ways and refused to deliver for the American people. Our entire coalition did, we ended the Trump era and burned our party down, but we didn’t turn into Democrats. For both parties need to realize that most Americans want the same basic things and the future belongs to an independent minded left/right powerful coalition that will force our elected and tax payer funded government to deliver for Americans or face punishment at the polls. Focus on the issues that won on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, not issues the American people defeated in the past. The ball is in your court. Good luck!

I talked to my mom last night about the midterm election. She's super conservative, voted in every election since Reagan 1984. Her view on the Asian American vote shifting left was simple: "It wasn't about policy. Too many Asians believe that White Republicans genuinely hate them and resent their success. They complain about top colleges becoming too Asian and make fun of Indian Americans enjoying a football game. They see White Republicans as a threat to their very existence. If they feel that way, doesn't matter how bad Dem policies are. They will vote Dem."

Read every word of this!! So true!
The greatest danger facing Democrats after our historic victory is that the radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and its allies will claim credit for a victory they did nothing to deliver then use that false narrative to seize control of our party's future. Democratic leaders must act decisively now to isolate these extremists, minimize their influence, and prevent their radical agenda from defining our party. The election results tell the story. According to New York Times polling, Democrats won an estimated 56% of the national House vote to 43% for Republicans, a stunning 15-point shift toward our party since 2024. The shift was 33 points among voters under 30, 29 points among Hispanics, 18 points among men, and 14 points among white voters without college degrees. This was a sweeping national repudiation of Donald Trump and his administration, extending far beyond the Democratic Party's traditional base. Now look at where the DSA candidates won. All eight DSA-endorsed House winners, including six newly elected representatives, prevailed in reliably Democratic districts. Not a single one flipped a competitive Republican-held seat. Their strategy was to mobilize relatively small groups of highly motivated voters to win Democratic primaries, then coast to victory in overwhelmingly Democratic districts. Meanwhile, mainstream Democrats expanded our House majority by winning competitive districts and persuading voters who were not already committed to our party. The DSA benefited from the Democratic wave without in any way demonstrating that its radical ideology could win the swing voters whose support determines control of Congress. Worse, the DSA cost Democrats votes and potentially winnable races. In Florida, DSA member Angie Nixon defeated decorated Army veteran Alex Vindman in the Democratic Senate primary, then lost to Republican Ashley Moody by just 2.9 points. That narrow margin raises the distinct possibility that a more broadly appealing candidate like Vindman could have won. The DSA's radical platform also handed Republicans powerful ammunition against mainstream Democrats. The organization calls for abolishing the Senate, fundamentally restructuring the presidency and Supreme Court, phasing out police and prisons, and bringing major corporations under public ownership. Incoming Congresswoman Melat Kiros said America deserved the September 11 terrorist attacks and Incoming Congresswoman Darializa Avila Chevalier attending rally celebrating the October 7 Hamas massacre and led an organization that called for the “total eradication of Western civilization.” Republicans eagerly exploited these controversies to portray mainstream Democrats as extremists. Those attacks would have been far more damaging had the country not turned so decisively against Donald Trump. The DSA's electoral strategy poses a serious long-term threat to our party. By targeting low-turnout primaries in overwhelmingly Democratic districts, its strategy is to win congressional seats without demonstrating meaningful national support for their agenda, then exploit congressional visibility and social media controversy to build political power. The organization's own “dirty break” strategy envisions using the Democratic ballot line to build an independent socialist movement. Shame on us if we allow them to use our party as a vehicle for their radical agenda. The incoming House will have eight DSA-endorsed representatives and perhaps five additional members of the broader far-left coalition. But with Democrats approaching a majority of 85 seats, these extremists will lack the leverage that allowed a handful of Freedom Caucus Republicans to hold their party hostage and ultimately topple Speaker Kevin McCarthy. A Democratic majority of roughly 260 seats could withstand more than 40 defections on ordinary party-line votes. Mainstream Democrats can govern without depending on the DSA and, when appropriate, cooperate with pragmatic Republicans such as David Joyce and members of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. Hakeem Jeffries and the House Democratic leadership must deny DSA-backed extremists positions of influence, assign them the least consequential committees, and limit their access to party resources and leadership opportunities. Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats must similarly prevent DSA-aligned politicians, including incoming Michigan Senator Abdul El-Sayed, from gaining disproportionate influence by giving them the worst possible committee assignments and fewest opportunities for additional exposure. The DSA, in other words, must not be allowed to hijack a Democratic victory it did nothing to deliver. Americans delivered a powerful repudiation of Donald Trump's leadership and a demand for change. Democrats now have a historic opportunity to respond with a positive, patriotic, common-sense agenda for national renewal that brings Americans together and builds a stronger, more prosperous, more inclusive country. We must seize that opportunity rather than surrender our party's future to a small faction advancing an agenda far outside the American mainstream. The future of the Democratic Party must be determined by the broad coalition of Americans who delivered this historic victory, not by the extremists who hope to exploit it. Fortunately, the election results give Democratic leaders an extraordinary opportunity to stop this.

Kevin knows he is part of the problem. The lust for trump’s buttocks Kevin by you and your former colleagues caused this. On Jan 7 2021 you could have him convicted and removed but you wanted power over country.
BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Kevin McCarthy is having an extreme meltdown at the magnitude of Democrats' victories on Tuesday. This is a must watch.

Hispanics are roughly 40% of the Texas population. In their personal lives, they are far more conservative than many groups. They supported Trump in 2024 precisely for his stance on the border. You know what they don't like? Unaffordability.
