🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / THE INSURRECTION PLAYBOOK, SPECIAL EDITION: ON CROSSING THE RUBICON 🚨
Many people on 𝕏 are calling for elections to not to be certified, or for Trump to not to seat the new Congress on January 3rd.
In a sense, attributing 2026 results to cheating is too narrow of a way to look at a much larger and a much worse problem.
The problem isn't that machines decided to flip 15% of Republican votes and stole the 2026 midterms from us.
The problem is that our elections are untransparent, monopolized by mysterious NGOs, and set up institutionally such that they are impossible to challenge or audit honestly.
I wrote a book, UNELECTED. It lays out the whole NGO Administrative Complex and how they have monopolized virtually every facet of our ordinary society and perform functions through, above, and despite Congress. This is what they do. They cut off every single plausible path to their own reform.
The last two chapters explain my remedy, but I do not believe these chapters are easily approached without reading the other 300+ pages first. And I've had fans compare it to "A Brief History of Time" in complexity ... while I wouldn't go that far, it is an enormous problem with an enormous network that developed over an enormous amount of time.
The good news is that our anger at finding out about this, and our lashing out at all this is the epistemic bubble popping. Regimes don't last long after that.
The bad news is - to borrow a phrase my friend uses - there are many ways to lose, and few ways to preserve our Republic.
I'm not here to tell you that President Trump shouldn't use the 2026 elections to force a showdown.
I'm here to tell you what happens if he does. If he goes down this route, he better treat it like crossing the Rubicon.
Pray for peace and wisdom for the administration as they deal with the many difficult decisions ahead.
Watch the video with an open mind and heart.
Afternoon coffee and admiring my mom‘s flowers.
I think she would be pleased and impressed that they are still alive and flourishing.

This is one of the most Powerful podcasts I’ve ever heard.
Trump has already fired Susie Wiles. Hope he takes immediate action on these other steps. Especially regarding corruption & removing corporate money from politics.
Propose a Constitutional Amendment & hold all parties to the fire!

The standard deduction for married people should be 125,000 and 50,000 for single.
Do this, declare victory over Iran, and introduce a new amendment to the constitution eliminating all corporate money from politics.
We would have an economic boom, a baby boom, and Trump will go down as an absolute Mount Rushmore president by being the person that eliminated corporate money from politics!
THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate.
Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200
Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.
Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that
Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650).
Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000.
- 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned.
Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.

There’s a revolution happening in the Trump administration right now.
I am shocked about who I am hearing from - senior leaders throughout the government who are ready to take off the shackles and get BIG things done for the American people - which is what @StephenM and @POTUS want.
I can’t stress this enough: some of President Trump and RFK’s strongest campaign promises deal with institutional reform that democrats ran on too - not innately partisan issues.
Don’t let the media talk us down. We can get BIG things done in the next year - and Americans want that.

Armies that win have the general at the front lines. Nobody wants to bleed for the prince in the palace.
Ron Baron asked Elon Musk how many CEOs live on site in an Airstream and work hands-on with everyone.
MUSK: “Airstreams are actually pretty nice... It’s parked right next to the power plant.”
“We built this power plant that’s producing over a gigawatt... in about a year, as opposed to normally about five years.”
“There is no upstairs.”
He walks the entire site up to five times a day. He’s pulled power cables “the size of an anaconda,” run fiber, wired switches, and worked on the power plant software.
“I try to do at least a little bit of everything, so that I’m not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it.”
“It’s not as though I’m sitting in an office and somebody has to come to me. I’m walking the floor, asking them questions actively.”
There’s a reason SpaceX is winning the compute race.
