What kind of government would push gambling, porn and drugs on its own population? Saagar Enjeti on who’s getting rich from the destruction of young men in America.
Presidential Rule number one: don't start a never-ending war in the Middle East. Americans have PTSD from them.
Presidential Rule number two: it's the economy, always has been.
Leadership rule number one: Surround yourself with competent people who tell you uncomfortable truths -- not sycophants or loyal incompetents.
The sycophants will do you in every time. Never get high on your own supply.
If President Trump hadn’t started this war, and had been reasonably disciplined with the economy, he would have gone down as Regan — over the course of time.
So many lessons… and hey, maybe DJT pulls another rabbit out of his magic hat of rabbits.
Maybe the war magically stops, the tariffs settle down and become predictable revenue streams (instead of performance art), we win the AI revolution, abundance follows, and growth wins the day.
He’s got a puncher's chance.

BREAKING: Iran and Russia have signed a $25 billion agreement to build new nuclear power plants, including Iran's largest nuclear power plant to date, with Iranian President Pezeshkian set to meet Putin next week in Kyrgyzstan, per Mehr / IRNA.
The deal is between Iran's Atomic Energy Organization and Russia's Rosatom, covering construction of 4 advanced third-generation nuclear power reactors (~1,255 MW each, ~5 GW total capacity) on a 500-hectare site in Sirik, Hormozgan Province, southern Iran. This is Iran's largest nuclear power project to date, fitting into Iran's long-term goal of ~20 GW nuclear capacity, with Russia already contracted for up to 8 reactors in Iran overall.
This comes after Russia rejected the US request delivered by CIA Director Ratcliffe's visit yesterday to press Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz, warning that Russian entities would otherwise face designations under Operation Economic Outcast. Russia also told Iran the threatened measures were of limited consequence.
I’ve gotta be honest.
The 2016 election night when Trump had his shocking victory over Hillary I had never been filled with more hope and optimism for the future.
I was brand new to politics and I saw it as a Mandate of Heaven that the good guys were going to win in the end.
Fast forward 10 years and I couldn’t possibly be more blackpilled on politics in general.
No one is coming to save us, that naive kid who bought into the hype and hope of 2016 MAGA is long dead and gone.
