@Podrivel @tanvi_ratna We are entering a manufacturing revolution with AI and robotics. Trump & Musk is positioning US to be a leader in this revolution.

Labor will be lower % of cost going forward. Big savings due to lower energy costs in US, plus distribution savings of being closer to market.

[President Donald J. Trump @POTUS]

AMERICA IS BACK. 🇺🇸

20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists.

Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective.

The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost.

GOLDMAN: MARKETS MISREAD FED AS OIL SPIKE FUELS RATE FEARS

Goldman Sachs says investors are overestimating the chance of Fed rate hikes as oil prices surge.

Brent crude above $115 has fueled inflation fears and pushed traders to price a more hawkish Fed, but Goldman argues this reaction is overdone and out of line with history.

The bank points to 1990, when markets expected tightening after an oil shock — but the Fed ultimately cut rates as growth weakened.

Bottom line: markets are pricing higher rates, but slowing growth could force the Fed in the opposite direction.

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again, Trump is the West’s greatest hope for survival & in turn the world’s greatest hope for prosperity & peace. Not because he is a messiah or faultless. He is an egomaniac. But that is what enables him to do what needs to be done. He is fearless. He has the balls & the spine. He is the classic example of the vital function of psychopathy in leadership. It means he is running a tightrope & takes big gambles. Shit can always go wrong. But the west was dying, terrorist regimes gaining traction. Decades of either pussyfooting around or dumb wars have sped up the decline. The world needs a shake up. The status quo was managed decline. His bombasticness is scary & I understand why people react viscerally. But I maintain that we needed a fucking renegade, a wild card. And I hope & pray he is successful because it means liberation for oppressed populations, prosperity for those starved under communism, and it means the flourishing of western values.
I had Trump Derangement Syndrome in 2016. I understand it. Now I accept that there are things I don’t like about him while realising he is exactly what we need.

Alex Karp just said what every other tech CEO is terrified to admit: the world doesn’t split three ways. It splits two. And second place is extinction.

Europe watches. Everyone else becomes a customer. The fight is binary. America or China. One owns the future’s operating system. The other lives inside it, powerless.

Karp: “There are only two cultures that are going to win in the next year. It’s going to be us or China.”

Technology isn’t neutral. The builder’s values get hardcoded into everything. If we don’t own the chips, the models, the infrastructure, the beliefs embedded in the next century won’t be freedom or rights. They’ll be surveillance and control.

Karp: “If we are not the ones controlling the violence, we will not be dictating the rule of law.”

AI is a weapon system. Not potentially. Inherently. Restraint doesn’t buy peace. It guarantees defeat.

If the Constitution matters, if speech matters, if any of it matters, America has to win technologically. Power doesn’t negotiate values. It imposes them.

Thinking caution earns respect is suicidal delusion. The enemy isn’t slowing down for ethics debates. They’re building at war speed while we workshop guardrails.

Karp: “No one is coming to defend you. You have to defend yourself.”

No cavalry. No referees. No shared humanity saving the day. Just two civilizations in a cage match for permanent control.

Outbuild them or surrender everything. Not eventually. Now. Because losing this race doesn’t mean second place. It means your children grow up under a system that doesn’t even pretend you have rights.

You are mistaking the controlled demolition of the "British System" (Globalism) for the failure of the "American System" (Nationalism). Trump’s tariffs didn't backfire; they are doing exactly what Alexander Hamilton and Henry Carey designed them to do: break the "Free Trade" mechanism that allows foreign empires to loot American productivity.

1. The "Isolation" is Actually "Decoupling". You see the EU, Canada, and Germany running to China as a loss for the US. The American System sees this as cutting off the parasites. For decades, the US subsidized Europe’s defense and economy via the Eurodollar system (offshore dollars). By weaponizing the dollar and implementing SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) to replace the London-controlled LIBOR, the US is ending the era where foreign banks dictate US monetary policy. If Europe and Canada want to link their drowning economies to China’s structural deflation, they are free to do so. The US is exiting the role of "Global Policeman" to become a "Manufacturing Superpower"

2. Gold is the Bridge, Not the Enemy. You cite central banks piling up gold as a sign of distrust. The archives show that the Trump/Bessent strategy anticipates this. The US holds over 8,000 tonnes of gold. A rise in gold prices allows the US to re-monetize its own balance sheet and transition away from the debt-based fiat system that benefits the "Davos Class." We aren't losing the gold war; we are finally showing up to play it. The goal is to enforce "Domestic Par"—making the dollar serve the US economy, not the globalist betting parlor

3. The Return of the American System. The "trust" that is at a record low is trust in the Empire, not the Republic. The American System (Hamilton, Lincoln, McKinley) relies on protective tariffs to foster domestic industry and high wages, not cheap imports. Trump is trading "cheap stuff" for "sovereign capacity." The nations moving away from the US are merely the "old colonial powers" (Europe/UK) realizing their credit card has been cut up.

Trump isn't failing to hold the global order together; he is actively dismantling it to save the United States. The "risk" you mention is only a risk to the Globalist leech, not the American host.

Thanks to the Republican-passed Working Families Tax Cuts, the average American will receive a federal tax cut of $3,700 this year.

I am excited for the American people to see how this legislation will deliver safe streets, more money in their pockets, and new opportunities to get ahead.
