Just learned that the social security database is not de-duplicated, meaning you can have the same SSN many times over, which further enables MASSIVE FRAUD!!

For all Americans who want the massive fraud to stop, the greatest fraud of all is using voting machines that are designed for the steal and not for security. From their inception they were introduced to cheat. Everywhere they are used.

I can’t believe this is real

Here are criminals who just got elected to into office in America:

- Janene Ackles in North Carolina: Multiple convictions including lying to obtain unemployment benefits 6 times, writing fraudulent checks 14 times and reckless driving. She has 21 total guilty verdicts

- Nicole Mitchell in Minnesota: In 2025 she was arrested for burglarizing someone's home. She spent 6 months in prison and is on a 5 year probation

- Anthony Ealy in Missouri: He won his election by 68%. The day after his election, He threatened to kill a man and a woman. He is now being charged with assault, and now he's in jail

- LaKesha Womack in North Carolina: She didn't return a rental car that she rented in 2019. The car was over $20,000. She said she needed her car because she was homeless and her and her son needed a place to live. She never returned the rental car

- LaMonica McIver in New Jersey: she has 3 federal counts against her for assaulting ICE officers. 21 convictions on her record.

- Jovan Jackson in Nevada: He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery, DUI, battery and for resisting arrest from an officer

- Ericka Lomick in Texas: She was arrested for mortgage fraud, money laundering and she served 63 months in prison, and she won by 810 votes

- Xavier Becerra in California “He's probably the worst one. 300,000 children went missing under his watch, and now he's going to be the governor of California”

@Brookerteejones “Criminals who are now elected officials. Yes, you heard me right. Many people that will be serving in our government are criminals.”

Ohh and before you ask I looked it up, EVERY SINGLE ONE is a Democrat

The Democrat party is the party of criminals. I doubt any of them actually won their elections fairly

We Greeks called the muslim Turks "the Grand Masters of Torture." After the fall of Constantinople (May 29, 1453) and during the 400 years of Ottoman slavery in Greece, the Greeks carried out more than 100 uprisings in order to restore the Eastern Roman Empire and free themselves from muslim tyrants.

The barbarity of the muslims against the Christian Greeks was out of this world. During these 400 years and as historical sources report, the Turks, in order to intimidate the rebels, systematically committed atrocities that the human mind cannot comprehend.

On page 236-237 of the historical book "What You Didn't Know About Turkish Rule and the Greek Revolution of 1821," the following is written:

As soon as the Revolution of 1821 broke out, the Turks, in their attempt to intimidate the rebels, butchered those they captured or threw them to the ground and slaughtered them like animals. In some cases, they exceeded the limits of brutality. In Patras, they captured a father and son and, after impaling them, lit a fire and forced the other captives to roast them like lambs. Ali Pasha at that point was more inventive: When he impaled Christians, he forced their relatives to turn the spit, threatening that otherwise he would impale them too.

Immediately after the hanging of Patriarch Gregory V in Constantinople, the Turks hanged three metropolitans at various points in the city. However, one of them, the very elderly Metropolitan of Nicomedia, breathed his last before reaching the place of execution. Such, however, was the Turks' mania for revenge that they punished even the dead man by hanging his corpse.

After the hanging of the Patriarch, the Turks daily engaged in massacres of Christians who were trying to escape from the City. Then the Sultan sent a firman to the Patriarchate, which prohibited the departure of Christians from Constantinople, making them "jointly liable" in groups of five. This meant that if one from a group of five escaped, the remaining four would pay with their lives.

Thus, the Greeks had to choose between the very likely massacre if they waited, or the certain massacre if one of the five managed to escape.

The revolution in Northern Greece and especially Macedonia was drowned in an ocean of blood. Five thousand Greeks were massacred in Naousa, the rest were sold in slave markets, and the entire city was reduced to ashes.

The Pasha of Thessaloniki, Abdul Abud, who had set as his goal the extermination of the Greeks, burned 120 villages and wiped out their inhabitants to the last one.

Among the leaders of the Revolution, Zafeirakis was killed in Veroia, Gatsos and Karatasos escaped, while the fate of their wives was harsh, whom Abdul Abud, with horrific threats, wanted to force to convert to Islam. Only Gatsos's wife gave in, out of fear of torture.

The other two were tortured to death in front of the government building in the following way: They put sacks full of mice and cats around their necks, and Karatasos's wife, before dying, in a sack full of snakes.

⚠️THERE’S THE KEY WORD!⚠️

“INVASION”!

Legally speaking, this is EXTREMELY important. The Commander in Chief has broad authority in times of “rebellion or invasion”. This opens the door for emergency powers and Military intervention. Think Lincoln.

Then in the next post, Trump is having Vance focus on all the massive blue state corruption, in places like Minnesota and California. These are two of the locations where ICE agents received the most resistance and “rebellion”, as the Dems sent their brownshirts out to obstruct ICE arrests and the enforcement of federal law, which by legal definition, is an “INSURRECTION”.

So what’s happening here? Trump is legally setting the stage to invoke the Insurrection Act, suspend the writ of habeas corpus, and legally allow the Military to conduct mass deportations.

If you hear the words “rebellion” or “invasion”, it’s not an accident. It’s a precursor to what must eventually happen.

What are the odds American AI firms are playing some role in the Huang ouster? In the same way Cisco paid PR firms to spread fears about Huawei and Meta paid PR firms to stir demands for banning competitor TikTok? Huang singularly pushed cheaper Chinese open source models.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is the biggest irony of the whole Alice Huang / Nvidia saga: the Chinese government actually doesn't want Nvidia chips and is actively keeping them out of the country.

Last year it even ordered Alibaba and ByteDance to cancel their Nvidia orders (https://t.co/T4ZMand2BD) and sent customs teams to the ports to check every advanced chip coming in (https://t.co/UFPerK7Cgp).

And right now 600,000 Nvidia H200s are stuck in Hong Kong because Beijing won’t let them into the country (https://t.co/epimhGPQYq)👇

Nvidia also explicitly frames this as a threat to its business in its latest annual report to the SEC: "The Chinese government has encouraged customers to purchase from our China-based competitors and discouraged customers from purchasing, importing, or using our data center products" (https://t.co/TQVwWuix83).

Why does China do that? Because every Nvidia chip a Chinese company buys is one that Huawei or Cambricon doesn’t sell, and domestic chips can only catch up if people actually buy them (which means money for R&D, etc.).

Which means that the notion that Chinese intelligence was running honeytraps to get more Nvidia chips into China gets the whole thing exactly backwards.

In fact, it looks like Megaspeed - Alice Huang's company - was a counter-reaction to official Chinese policy: a private sector workaround to these efforts by the Chinese government to curtail Nvidia.

As was widely reported - including by Western media - Megaspeed built data centers in Southeast Asia and rented their computing power to Alibaba, which the New York Times called "a backdoor way of getting access" to Nvidia chips (https://t.co/tu9Re4WdzM).

That is a backdoor not only - allegedly - around Washington’s export controls, but also around China's own efforts to wean its companies off Nvidia.

I can’t believe the Chinese government was too thrilled about it: it'd make just about zero sense for it to run countless domestic measures to prevent Alibaba from using Nvidia chips, yet at the same time have its top spy agency help the same Alibaba get Nvidia chips through the back door in Southeast Asia 🤷

At the end of the day, as with all such stories, you always need to look at "cui bono?": who benefits? Who benefitted is pretty clear:

- Nvidia itself: it's in the business of selling chips so a customer willing to spend billions of dollars on chips in Southeast Asia is a godsend. Again, as they themselves state in their SEC filings, not being able to tap into Chinese demand would have "a material and adverse impact on our business" (https://t.co/TQVwWuix83).

- Chinese companies like Alibaba: facts are, 1) Chinese chips haven't yet caught up, 2) Chinese chip companies' production capabilities are still limited and 3) Chinese tech firms' historical tech stack runs on Nvidia’s CUDA ecosystem, and rewriting years of code for Huawei chips is painful. Renting Nvidia chips in Southeast Asia is the easy way to stay competitive and serve customer demand in the meantime.

- The US, according to core members of the Trump administration: back in July last year, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained that the point of letting Nvidia sell more chips to China was to get Chinese developers "addicted to the American technology stack" (https://t.co/WpaKkS6gOG).

Who does NOT benefit, according to official Chinese policy, is the Chinese state, which has made tech self-reliance one of its foremost priorities.

Which means that, to believe the spy story, you have to believe that a person - Alice Huang - was effectively a spy paid by her own government while simultaneously sabotaging its tech self-reliance drive, which it has spent years and trillions of dollars on - pretty senseless.

Stranger things have happened, I guess, but it doesn't pass the smell test.

And there is another absolutely major contradiction in the media story. According to a Financial Times article published yesterday (https://t.co/7q1UEaUR4y), "a person who knows [Alice Huang] said they had been asked by MSS for information about her earlier this year after news emerged that Singapore was investigating the company in relation to chip-smuggling allegations. The agency wanted to find out more information about Huang, including the nature of her business and connections, the person said."

Which raises a damn obvious question: if she were indeed an MSS asset, why on earth would the MSS need to ask the people around her who she was and the nature of her business?

It's a complete contradiction with the spy story - but very much not a contradiction with what I described above: a private businesswoman running a workaround to Beijing’s own policy, which the Chinese security apparatus would naturally want to look into.

Especially since, around about the same time, Shanghai police detained her business partner, reportedly her husband, in a stock manipulation case (https://t.co/KXimvioTTd): also coherent with Chinese authorities looking into her network, and much harder to square with her being a prized MSS asset.

And, to top it all, there is - to this day - not a shred of evidence that's been published that she is, in fact, a Chinese spy: just anonymous intelligence officials, repeated by journalists who never verified it, as I detailed here (https://t.co/loSwtoVrqr) and here (https://t.co/fIWGMIF3Cr) with one of the key FT journalists on this story actually admitting that he has no idea what evidence US intelligence actually has.

So the claim went to print without anyone seeing the evidence, without anyone being able to check it, and without anyone knowing whether it even exists.

And given everything above, from Beijing blocking the very chips she was supposedly recruited to help get into China, to the MSS asking around about her, to her partner being detained in Shanghai, my bet is that the evidence doesn’t exist at all. If anything, everything we can check points the other way.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

This Jensen Huang/Nvidia scandal is quite bizarre. The most dominant CEOs of the world's most powerful corporations rarely fall, let alone as easily and rapidly as this seems to be happeing. He's on the brink of being ousted with remarkable velocity and vanishingly little evidence.

Over what? If "mere" extramarital affairs were sufficient for ouster, how many top CEOs would be left? Not many. Hence the need for the sinister CCP/spying angle. But is there any tangible evidence at all that Alice Huang is an asset or spy for the Chinese government? Anything beyond anonymous vague US intelligence suspicions being mindlessly, dutifully recited (as always) by US corporate media?

The always smart and insightful @RnaudBertrand is required reading here, at least for the questions he raises:👇

You just can’t make this up

$NVDA is down 26% since

To be fair, he's said his trades are run by a 3rd-party

Okay WHAT?!? 🚨 James Talarico got more votes for Senator in Texas during Midterms than any:

- Democrat Presidential candidate EVER
- Republican Governor EVER
- AND MORE VOTES THAN ANY REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT EVER in Texas other than Donald Trump

A Democrat senator beat every Republican President EVER in Texas other than Trump??

YEAH RIGHT

Here are the full totals going back through 2010:

- 2,737,481 votes, Rick Perry (R Governor 2010)
- 2,796,547 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2014)
- 3,308,124 votes, Barack Obama (D President 2012)
- 3,877,868 votes, Hillary Clinton (D President 2016)
- 4,437,099 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2022)
- 4,524,527 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2026, unofficial)
- 4,569,843 votes, Mitt Romney (R President 2012)
- 4,656,196 votes, Greg Abbott (R Governor 2018)
- 4,685,047 votes, Donald Trump (R President 2016)
- 4,835,250 votes, Kamala Harris (D President 2024)
- 5,259,126 votes, Joe Biden (D President 2020)
- 5,444,982 votes, James Talarico (D Senate 2026, unofficial)
- 5,890,347 votes, Donald Trump (R President 2020)
- 6,393,597 votes, Donald Trump (R President 2024)

There is no way a Democrat Senator in Texas was able to get more votes than every Republican Governor Candidate EVER, more votes than every Democrat Presidential candidate EVER, and more votes than Mitt Romney, Trump in 2016, and every Republican President EVER in Texas

There is no conceivable way to ever believe this could be even remotely possible

One of the reasons I don’t like socialism is public bathrooms.

A public bathroom is about as basic a shared resource as you can get. Everyone gets to use it, and everyone is expected to show a little consideration for the next person. The rules aren’t particularly complicated.

And yet, a shocking number of adults can’t even manage to throw their paper towels in the trash. Some will pee all over a toilet seat and leave it for the next person. And the next person, who didn’t make the mess, certainly isn’t going to clean it up either.

Now imagine trusting these same people to collectively manage an entire economy.

We can’t even get everyone to agree that cleaning up their own pee is a personal responsibility, but somehow we’re supposed to believe everyone will become hardworking, responsible, and considerate when we’re sharing the fruits of each other’s labor.

Now, compare your average public restroom to a Buc-ee’s bathroom.

Buc-ee’s figured something out. Clean bathrooms attract customers. Customers spend money. So the company has a financial incentive to keep those bathrooms spotless. They hire people to maintain them, hold employees accountable, and compete for your business.

And people will literally plan their road trips around stopping there.

That’s capitalism. Someone recognized a problem, found a way to solve it, and made money because people valued the result.

Of course, not everyone contributes equally to society. Some people work harder, make better decisions, and take more responsibility. Others seem perfectly content making life more difficult for everyone around them.

I believe people should have the freedom to live however they choose. I also believe in helping people who genuinely need it.

But I have a hard time accepting an economic philosophy that expects me to trust everyone to act in the collective interest when some people can’t be bothered to clean up after themselves.

Buc-ee’s figured out how to get people to willingly pay for a better experience.

Socialism wants me to believe the people leaving paper towels on the floor will suddenly become responsible stewards of everyone else’s resources.

I’m going with the beaver.
