I finally figured out what's wrong with "everything."
It's a system problem. The introduction of Trump into the system(s) broke almost everything, and in multiple ways.
The fake news created a White Supremacist hysteria, which led to the Fine People Hoax and the George Floyd Hoax, which led to massive DEI, which led to massive systemic incompetence in all of our systems at once.
Add wokeness and cancelation and we can't discuss the issue, much less fix it. That's a system problem. The corrective mechanism (free speech) has been removed.
On top of that, the Trump experience has made it clear all of our government systems are corrupt. They probably always were, but as long as we didn't notice, things limped along okay.
Now we notice.
Now we don't accept "the science" we know is corrupt. We don't accept the omnibus bills we know are corrupt. We don't accept the foreign wars that look sketchy. We don't accept elections we can't fully audit. We don't trust the news, for good reason. We don't trust our intel services to not be agents of one party. And we see the justice departments weaponized.
While all that happened Soros found a way to take control of all American systems via funding of non-government entities and integrating them into the American systems.
But at the head of the snake is the fake news and fake science. There is no correcting mechanism.
The X platform is the only counterforce, and that's why the crooks are trying to take it out, and Musk at the same time.

Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan perfectly encapsulates how the left’s refusal to accept Donald Trump as president is actively eroding the rule of law.
He warns that they are setting a very dangerous precedent for the future of America.
SHERIDAN: “It’s so dangerous what we’re seeing.”
“You can like Trump or not like Trump, it doesn’t...people are going to like presidents and dislike presidents.”
“But now, defying the rule of law because he happens to be the head of the federal government and openly defying the government.”
“The repercussions of that are going to be, okay, fine, you can’t stand this man, you think he’s a terrible president and you’re not going to follow his laws.”
“But that’s the new normal now.”
“So when a president gets in that you do support, then the other side — because we’ve established this precedent — they’re just not going to follow his laws either.”
“And now we’ve eroded the rule of law.”
“And then what happens?”
Clint Eastwood:
"I love when people call Trump Stupid..
You mean the multi-billionaire who kicked every Democrats butt, buried 16 career Republican politicians, and continues to make fools out of once reputable news organizations ..
You mean the guy who won the presidency?
You mean the guy with the super model wife?
You mean the guy whose words alone put a massive slow down on illegal border crossings?
You mean the guy whose mere presence made the stock market smash its previous records?
You mean the guy who created 1 million jobs in his first 7 months in office?
Are you sure you even know what it is you're resisting?
Are you sure you back a party that enables the decimation of every core principal of Christianity?
Are you sure you back a party that voted 100% against the abolition of slavery?
Are you sure you really take a politician like Maxine Waters seriously?
Are you sure you don't see anything wrong with someone who has a 40 yr career as a public servant living in a $4.5 mansion representing a district."
David Friedberg: It's not rich vs poor, it's makers vs takers.
@friedberg:
“ The great lie is that there are two sides to society, that is the rich and the poor.
And the great truth is that there are two sides that are the makers and the takers.
The lie is that the rich are unfairly rich and the poor are unfairly poor, and therefore, the poor must take from the rich.
But the truth is that it's the takers that tell you that lie, that the real truth is that artists, plumbers, electricians, woodworkers, computer scientists, people that build, people that make from all walks of life, all income levels, all wealth brackets, are the makers.
And the takers are what Sacks calls this intelligentsia, the analysts, the espousers, the armchair mechanics, the critics, the commentators, the politicians. They are the takers.
They are the people that watch the rest of society make stuff, build stuff, specifically doing things that create value for other people in society. That's what a maker is.”
I’m fighting for a western civilization where none of them had to die.
We’re not fighting red vs. blue.
We’re fighting good vs. evil.
Darkness vs. light.
We must win.
David Friedberg: The AI Jobs Panic Is a Crock of Sh*t
Why? The revenue potential outweighs the cost savings by 100x.
“There is no job loss with AI. I've said it a thousand times, and I will say it again, and again, and again.
What I see on the ground, and what I've seen at dozens of companies, including my company that I run, there are two sides to a business.
There is revenue and there’s costs.
On the cost side of the equation, AI can be used to reduce humans doing things that cost money, to some extent. The effect there, I would argue, is nominal.
The real opportunity with AI is on the revenue side, where suddenly one engineer can do 100x or 1000x what they used to be able to do, meaning you can make more products at your company, whether those are agricultural seed products, or boats and ships, or software for companies, or clothing, or what have you.
Because of AI, everyone has the ability to expand their revenue base to create more products, and that is the foundation of good economic prosperity. It is called productivity. We can grow productivity in this country with AI.
So where I see AI being used is on the revenue side 100x more than the cost side. And in that equation, people are hiring like crazy. We cannot hire enough people.
I just had a review meeting with my product and engineering team two days ago, and they're like, ‘We want to add an extra 15 headcount to our engineering squads because we have all this opportunity to do stuff that we couldn't otherwise do.’ So we are going to hire more people.
And to Sacks' point, we are seeing that show up in the jobs numbers. The idea that AI is going to destroy jobs is a Luddite idea that is being disproven every single day, and I see it on the ground.
It is only a matter of time before people wake up to this and they realize that this narrative that they've all been sold is a crock of sh*t.”
Brilliant. Democrats have created a system in California of legalized election theft. Watch to the end. Make sure Senate Republicans do whatever it takes to pass the Save America Act ASAP.
