🚨 Elon Musk’s SpaceX Took Money Directly From Chinese Investors, Company Insider Testifies: The unsealed testimony marks the first time direct Chinese investment in the company has been disclosed. It raises more concerns about foreign ownership in one of America’s most important military contractors

The irony of people destroying democracy because they are afraid of an imagined one world government is that we're now far more likely to end up with one world oligarchy.

Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, the armed forces have faced disorienting shifts and a sharp pivot toward escalated strikes in the Western Hemisphere. These moves have come with little explanation—either to junior ranks or to the general public.

The “enemy” being discussed was not a foreign adversary, but part of the very public the military is sworn to serve. This shift in focus from defending the homeland to controlling it is leaving the US vulnerable and opening power vacuums for enemies to fill.

Military representatives resisted calls to “loosen up” and stayed professional, barely reacting to partisan lines—even when those lines included lengthy riffs about an “enemy within.”

The more that civilian leaders treat the military as a partisan institution, the more the military will start behaving like a partisan institution—and the less it can be relied on to fight and win wars.

For a military audience, clapping in the wrong place can be as consequential as taking a side. And it signals a grave threat to military readiness and security.

Officers understand that their professional ethics demand not just neutrality but the avoidance of even the appearance of partisanship. That means resisting the temptation to signal approval when politicians indulge in partisan theatrics.

In the absence of clear information, worst-case theories fill the vacuum, feeding uncertainty and suspicion. Those suspicions spread not only in the military but also in the public.

Officers serve under both parties across the course of their careers. If they are branded as allies of one party, they risk being treated as enemies by the other. The result would be a cycle of partisan purges that leaves the military disoriented, demoralized, and ineffective.

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

This is important. When I talk to people who earn $500k+ (the working rich), many express resentment about those they perceive as not pulling their own weight. They just misidentify who it is they are subsidizing.

The working rich pay "substantially" more in taxes than the top 400, globally.

The headlines have surpassed Mad Libs and are firmly entrenched in Cards Against Humanity: The CEO of the Thiel Foundation to become CDC director.

RFK Jr. wrote on X, "AAP should also be candid with doctors and hospitals that recommendations that diverge from the CDC’s official list are not shielded from liability under the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act."

This is false. He's a liar. He's trying to scare people into refusing vaccines.

The CDC shooter was fixated on vaccine conspiracy theories. He shot at the CDC and killed a police officer. RFK Jr., through his anti-vaccine group, funded the pseudoscience propaganda film PIandemic, one of the biggest drivers of false vaccine claims. It is beyond inappropriate for him to remain in office.

It won't just harm us. It will be like if we kneecapped OURSELVES. What is wrong with people? We're abandoning new energy solutions and investing in coal. We're abandoning the most promising tech we have in favor of dated and failed vaccine development.

The United States was UNESCO’s largest backer at nearly 25% of funding. China is filling the void and using its newfound power to influence education.

I said soft power is dead. I need to correct that. Soft power is dead for the U.S. It's vibrantly alive for other countries.

Dismantling of USAID is expected to kill more people than the bombs dropped on Japan during WW2. Now, the US is actively threatening access to vaccines at home and abroad. The potential death toll in just a few short months is staggering.

These are slow-moving massacres of choice.

I don't want to tell anyone how to do their job, but I feel like this isn't getting us closer to world peace.

These are certainly some choices.

Bold move by DoD to celebrate U.S. Flag Day with a graphic that looks like the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation approved it. Did you hire a designer from the Internet Research Agency on Upwork?
