Watch one single hand raise from the US representative to veto the ceasefire resolution in Gaza. One hand raised, polished and serene, is all it takes to keep the machine fed with bodies, grinding without pause, serving nothing but its own endless hunger. More babies buried under rubble, more widows moaning, more lives destroyed, dreams crushed, a seemingly endless cacophony of suffering raised atop our leaders’ greed and corruption. A single, beautiful hand in the air, like a siren, calling the rest of us to damnation for our indifference.
What an insane chart. The younger generation actively subsidizes the boomers, despite them owning 50% of all collective wealth in America
This system used to work when the next generation was promised a better future than the prior one. Just not the case anymore
@TRHLofficial Don’t forget the prequel. They spied on candidate Trump, yr 1-3 used his own Executive Branch & media to set President Trump up for treason (punishment=death), yr 4 conspired w/“allies” to release virus & pay off medical to overreact on a <0.1% fatality infection. They’re Godless
I'm concerned that many people do not understand the historical and institutional context in which the DOGE labor reforms are unfolding. They look at this as if these are some random, chaotic, arbitrary, strange, and even cruel measures to impose on a devoted civil service.
The reality is very different, and I'm not even sure that Elon entirely understands this. For more than a century, even dating back to 1883, the civil service has grown and grown without check from the elected branch, either the presidency or the legislature . The bureaucracies have ballooned from a few to 450 or so. The bloat and absurdities have grown too.
Get this: no one has ever known what to do about it. Not Coolidge, not Hoover, not Nixon, not Reagan, not Clinton, no one. No president has been able to crack this nut. The only reforms ever to have made it through are those that make the administrative state bigger, never smaller.
Countless cabinet secretaries have come and gone, always with the intention of making a change but leaving saddened, demoralized, outwitted, outgunned, and ultimately devoured.
No president has seriously taken on this problem because they simply did not know how. The unions are powerful, the intimidation from the deep institutional knowledge is overwhelming, the fear of the media as been powerful, and every single president comes to power vaguely feeling threatened by the intelligence agencies. The industries that have captured every single agency were also far too powerful to unseat or control.
This combination of institutional inertia has blocked serious reform for a full century. No one has dared. No one has even had a theory or strategy about what to do about this problem. It had become so terrible that most people in politics have simply surrendered, like homeowners who know there are rats in the basement and bats in the attic but long ago gave up trying to fix the issue.
All this time, the American people have felt themselves ever more oppressed, weighed upon, taxed and regulated, spied upon, brow beaten, and otherwise overwhelmed. Voting never made any difference because the politicians no longer controlled the system. The bureaucracies ruled all.
The Biden years underscored the point. We didn't even need a conscious and present executive. We only needed a figurehead to pretend to be president, just like the Soviet premiers in the old days. The institutions ran everything and the people controlled nothing.
How to deal with this? Trump alone figured it out in his last term: he simply took charge of the agencies in a limited way. There were screams of horror and plots galore. They performed a long stream of clever schemes to destroy him and show him who is boss, which is not the democratically elected president but the forces behind the scenes.
The job of the president, goes the message from all the insiders, is to PRETEND to be in charge but not actually do anything meaningful. Shut up, mug up, obey, and disturb nothing, let the administrative state do its thing without oversight or disruption, and then you will get your honorary library and bestselling autobiography and go down in history as great.
Trump refused the deal and look what happened.
Four years have gone by and Trump is back again, this time with a determination to slay this beast, one that he knows all-to-well. The efforts of DOGE and MAHA and MAGA are epic in scope, breaking a century of pathetic acquiescence toward the deep, middle, and shallow states, at last using moral courage to confront the problem head on, come what may.
They are profoundly aware that they MUST act fast and with some degree of ferocity, even recklessness, else we will default back to the status quo of leaders who pretend to be in charge while the embedded system runs things behind the scenes.
It has been this way for TOO LONG. The voters this time have demanded change, and mustered the faith to believe that change is possible. This is precisely what DOGE is attempting, to make good on a promise, a promise that for once the voters actually believed was credible.
They simply must succeed. There might never be another chance. The way of failure is the path everyone knows the US was on, toward economic stagnation, political scolerosis, and eventual irrelevance in the unfolding of the next stage of social evolution.
Everyone needs to watch this video..
This video needs to reach every member of Congress and the Senate.
They need to see the hurt and anger that so many of us are feeling right now!!
Ross was just granted a FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL PARDON by @realDonaldTrump. Words cannot express how grateful we are.
President Trump is a man of his word and he just saved Ross's life. ROSS IS A FREE MAN!!!!!
The CIA is the top intelligence organization in the world.
But from the beginning, they trafficked drugs and laundered money to fund their "Black Budget" and hide their evil.
Here's the story of Operation X and the dark origin of the CIA... (thread) 🧵
IT'S HAPPENING
#FreeRoss
A source close to the White House said at midday Tuesday that the Ulbricht pardon was “incoming.”
Brandon Sample, Ulbricht’s clemency lawyer, told The Post in an email Tuesday: “We do expect President Trump to grant clemency.”

@mazemoore@hodgetwins The video starts as they’re approaching her when it should be mid-fight. Dude 1 sounds like he’s fumbling his lines. I’ve seen a 3yo tantrum more violent than dude 2.
Now if this is real, then I hope dude 2 shoots off his own asshole.
