Just a little American advice to all my friends in the UK:

It's only treason if you lose.

Godspeed.

It’s funny how the police only respond there when something happens to foreigners and not their own citizens

This reset is long overdue.

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

The Ai bubble is having leaks:
- Current valuations have been built on future outlook and set timelines
- Lots of the expectations are data center driven
- When timelines are delayed or not matching up, it deflates the expectations
- There really are not enough places to build the data centers that have been projected as critical to these valuations
- Reality is striking in

Trump confused why stocks are down

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations.

Pursuant to sanctions authorities created by President Trump’s groundbreaking Cuba Executive Order, I am designating the following entities:

1. Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (MINFAR)
2. Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP)
3. Amistur Cuba S.A.
4. Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR)
5. Minera La Victoria S.A.

Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of sanctions themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities.

The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate radical Marxist regimes in our hemisphere seeking to threaten U.S. national security and engage in influence operations to export their poisonous and evil “revolution” to our country and around the world.

Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.

The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.

Do you understand what NVIDIA just did?

They didn't announce anything.

Just coordinates: 25.0528, 121.5990

That's Taipei.

Computex starts June 2.

And three words — "A new era of PC."

Here's what I think is coming.
- NVIDIA has been quietly building an ARM-based chip for Windows PCs.
- Developed with MediaTek.
- Designed to run AI natively on your laptop.

- Not a GPU.
- Not a data center chip.
- A processor. For your PC.

And if the leaks are right — it could match RTX 4070 performance
in a thin, efficient laptop. 👀

Intel. AMD. Qualcomm.
They've owned this space for decades.
NVIDIA is walking in.

Jensen Huang also hinted at a "surprise new product nobody knows about yet" for the second half of 2026.

This tweet might be that first signal.

A company that makes the world's most powerful AI chips now wants to power your everyday PC.

That's not an upgrade. That's a new era...

.@PalmerLuckey: American companies don't actually have engineers anymore.

"American companies have been hollowed out."

"We're not teaching engineers how to be engineers anymore."

"We're not teaching designers how to actually design things to be manufactured."

"We're teaching them how to be high-level design shops that put together a design package, that gets sent to the real engineers in China—and they actually figure out how to do the work."

"People are turning into architecture astronauts."

"They pick components, and they put them in a nominal layout."

"But the real work of—how am I actually going to put this together? How am I going to build a manufacturing line to make this? How am I going to need to figure out how to do the one, two, three, four, five different revisions of this board to pass radio emissions and interference standards? That's all done in China. So they are the real engineers."

.@PalmerLuckey: "Patents are Chinese instruction manuals" and we need to reinvent the US patent system:

"Stop patenting everything."

"The Founding Fathers never predicted a world where you'd have a globalized economy, and the entire patent office could be downloaded every single morning, ripped off, and then used to fight a war against you."

" We need to really fundamentally revisit the patent system."

"I think we need to massively expand the national security patent process. You can obtain a classified patent. You can get a patent on something that you are not allowed to disclose to anyone, but you still maintain the exclusivity on those rights."

" We need to massively expand that program."

Sounds like we need:

A) a fellowship dedicated to natural-law jurisprudence
B) a new law-school society devoted to the classical legal tradition

Maybe that’s what I should build next. What do you think, @Vermeullarmine?
