Italy’s going to have a better relationship with the US than the UK is because its politicians flirt with Trump and his lieutenants whilst ours shriek at them.
After making a series of fiercely ideological and political statements on social media in the wake of Trump’s win and being pilloried for doing so, @SciAm editor in chief Laura Helmuth is now back pedaling. She claims she is committed to editorial objectivity.
Say what you want about Dominic Cummings, but he posted this prediction in April....2023!
311 vs 227.
It's literally exactly right and people laughed at him at the time.
Genuinely staggering @Dominic2306
The gays on why they're going red and the tiny minority of commie-trans nutters, surrendered to by 'the mainstream', provoked a backlash

The Insider class *did this to themselves* because of their extreme delusions & uselessness. Trump 16 (like Brexit) was impossible without this & so is his sequel.
Their response to 2016 was to DOUBLE DOWN on delusions. Putin! Cambridge Analytica! Facebook ads!
Over and over the 'mainstream' has herded to wrong/dumb models of the world.
This doubling down helped us win in 2019. And after 2020 in US they returned to their 2016 script: Trump is a moron, haha, look at the moron and his moron supporters. And they embarked on a Far Left governing project - including destruction of southern border controls! - supported by the 'mainstream' across the West.
I said in 2022 @elonmusk et al were forming a new spectral elite network on Whatsapp because the DEMs & 'mainstream' media had gone mental. The 'mainstream' couldn't understand what was happening & why.
In April 2023 I published an election model with these results.
- Trump beats Biden by 294-244.
- Trump beats KAMALA by MORE — 321-227.
I published analysis of focus groups, why swing voters thought Kamala a TERRIBLE candidate, the crucial 'double haters', the crucial importance of the cost of living crisis which, like immigration in 2015, was the first and main thing mentioned in groups for 2 years - a basic fact still unabsorbed by the MSM.
@Peston tweeted my blog.
And the SW1 NPC ecosystem lost their minds & gabbled 'THIS IS FAKE NEWS, TRUMP IS FINISHED, NO MEDIA SHD COVER IT!'
Look through the comments to understand how the graduate NPC class are programmed to *delude themselves* and crush signals that might help them be less deluded.
Scrolling through some of the responses, a favourite is from @samfr who reinvented himself, ludicrously, as a guru on polling and communication - classic SW1 to take seriously on this stuff someone who nobody sane wd put in charge of anything to do with 'strategy' and 'communications'. His response was, inevitably, pitched perfectly to the mood of very online Insiders. And totally delusional.
Roughly ALL my NPC list herded over the past few years to: ELON DOESN'T UNDERSTAND RUNNING TECH COMPANIES!
While the guy was catching *skycrapers falling from orbit with chopsticks*!!!
This was a big clue that *the same people* interpreting polls for you are totally clueless on their day jobs and herd to stupid ideas! Why would managing SpaceX be something political hacks think they're competent to opine on?! But it became the high status Insider view! Elon doesn't understand tech companies - but I [whove built nothing ever] do!!
These people spent the last few weeks laughing at Elon's involvement in politics.
The DC/SW1 media will now flood the zone with bullshit about the campaign. They're all over TV 'explaining' something they've said for 3 years couldn't happen.
If you took any of it seriously, use this episode to sever all mental links to trusting 'mainstream' political journalism & accept it is systemically knackered because of the people & incentives.
If you subscribed to my blog, you'd be one of the very few NOT shocked today!

I explained a few days ago why i thought the polls were likely to be another shitshow - and they haven't disappointed. Like 'communication', it's an industry dominated by charlatans who use politics for marketing but don't invest in trying to do it properly. But the media doesn't explain this either.

Now?
The 'mainstream' will mostly double down again: there's just millions more fascists than we realised! Don't blame us, blame the voters! White Americans are really racist! When we win again we need MORE CENSORSHIP to defend against FASCISM!
This is the acceptable view in SW1 & DC/NYC - the 2024 equivalent to 'Leave/Trump won because of racism' which was the acceptable view in 2016.
The critical thing now?
Is there a critical mass of people like @elonmusk@pmarca@JTLonsdale et al who go to DC and *DO regime change* - i.e, as FDR did in the 30s, CLOSE a bunch of stuff and OPEN a bunch of startups to do government much better, with *a new legal basis*...?
Do we escape the cycle of dumb wars that the old regimes inevitably botch, as they have totally botched UKR?
The GOP with the help of the dissident Valley network - which represents *the people in America who can BUILD BUILD BUILD* - has the chance to reshape DC and America and the political landscape more than anybody has since FDR.
Let's hope they do it and help provide an intellectual prod to UK but, more importantly, the *example of moral courage* that we need to a/ replace the rotten parties and b/ replace the corrupt useless civil service system of the 1850s, a fake meritocracy with fake responsibility that now manages everything for themselves, not the voters/taxpayers - so British people can escape the shitshow SW1 is, for now, united in continuing...
We'll find out fast because the only way regime change can work is blitzkrieg in 2025 from the first days of the new regime. Purges. Closures. Startups. Lawyers. Building new valuable things that work.
With Elon asking everybody - what did you get done this week?
Fingers crossed...
Morning @michaelgove can you explain to us again, why you thought Kamala Harris would be a great president and why as editor of the @spectator you endorsed her for President over Trump?
We are all ears.
President Trump should pardon Hunter Biden. That would go a long way to setting the right tone for bringing a very divided America back together again.
Most of the media on the right is self-made because most of the people have been frozen out of mainstream media markets. This woman is full-on delusional.
This gay teacher gets it. Sexuality and gender identity have NO PLACE in the classroom. This is the extent of how you handle it. Everything else is only for the parents to discuss with their child.
Keep it up. This is another network that should seriously re-evaluate the programming they are pumping out into the public on a daily basis people just said enough of this to.
In 2022 I did an interview with GBNEWS about helping send a piece of cheese (Stilton) into space. They company that made it happen donated £5k to charity, but I got some stick for going on GBNEWS.
They've invited me on next month and I've said yes as I'm all about the cheese!
Constructive meeting with our excellent Conservative council group leaders to discuss upcoming elections.
Our local councillors are an integral part to the renewal of our party and are a key voice in communities. I will be working with them to ensure their success in 2025.
