"Very unfortunate that PM Carney has turned this into a political shouting match. I mean, we're not at war with Canada... What are they going to do — take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us?"

@toiletkingcap Some of the most brilliant observations on many topics are found on X. You must have years of experience wading through the 95% slop accounts but the wisdom is still there, hidden.

I believe we're likely to continue the war of words between the US and Iran for me next month.

Iran should start escalation when October nears.

[MoloMonitor 🇮🇹 @MoloWarMonitor]

A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran would deliver a "response dozens of times greater" for every U.S. attack against Iran.

It is almost certain that there will be reciprocal strikes again tonight, perhaps even more intense than those at the end of July.

If you listen to what Trump says and then apply it to the US, you'll have the truth

[WW3 Monitor @WW3_Monitor]

Trump: Iran's leadership is in a state of total chaos, and the only thing the Iranians have is fake news

"These are the real top stars that we should follow!"

Many Chinese cities are recently putting scientists on big public screens instead of commercial ads.

These are the people who lifted China from weak to strong in defense, food, health, and tech...

Investors like Paul want the immigration debate to be strictly polar because it is the only way their traitorous ideas might seem reasonable.

They paint one side as racist, backwards, economically illiterate absolutists and the other as enlightened, growth-minded cosmopolitian realists. Support for laws that protect American citizens can be dismissed as uneducated, anyone who hires immigrants or foreigners in any capacity a hypocrite.

American law should, and does, advantage American citizens. We should not have to compete on an even playing field with billions of people who almost universally don't share our values or respect our institutions, even if they are "the most qualified" or willing to work double the hours for the same wages. The men running Operation Paperclip did not think Americans should have to compete with the entire Third World, they understood that a carefully controlled amount of highly-skilled expert immigration is net good for America even when allegience is in question.

It is worth noting that even on a purely economic level, ignoring all burdens of loyalty or allegiance to your countrymen and treating America as nothing but an economic activity zone, it still doesn't make sense to say without qualification that foreigners should get any job where they are more qualified than their American counterpart.

As just one easy example out of dozens, about 20% of immigrants return home after less than five years, taking all their savings and vested shares with them. Another 20% will leave within ten years, doing the same. All the while, they will wire, on average, ~15% of their wages out of the United States economy every month. Some occupations and origins average 30%! The idea that this should be completely ignored with regard to employment and immigration policy is rampant among the same people who tell you with a straight face that limits on immigrants will destroy the American economy, that the dumb rednecks need to be saved.

I lean very libertarian and have strongly supported immigration to America for many years with countless public examples. That doesn't put me on the same side as the men who want to sell out America, and no amount of long-past accomplishment obliges any of us to listen to their lectures from the other side of the Atlantic.

"Elon retweeted it. You, instead, replied with a straw man, which you then retweeted (really dude?) to draw in all your followers."

No, I did not. Please stop lying.

"I can only guess that I must have gotten the better of you in some past exchange"

You are so full of yourself, Paul. You know exactly what my problem with you is, to the point where you have emailed Anduril leadership whining about it - I think it is really shitty for you to take constant potshots at America and Americans for being ignorant/religious/bigoted when you are the one who came here, made all your money, and then abandoned our country to shitpost from the English countryside.
