@PaulDMauro As a political scientist (PhD University of CA) I also respect and like Marco. He is a leader and strongly pro-American. My first choice for Trump’s successor. More experienced than Vance

I have greatly respected Professor Alan Dershowitz for years. He has borne scars for seeking true justice and for speaking truth. He shows himself a true human being and a true son of Israel.

[Wm P McKane@NoeticMT @NoeticMT]

The brilliant legal scholar Alan Dershowitz has announced that this life-long liberal (in true sense) Democrat has become a Republican. He is disgusted by D’s anti-Americanism, and anti-Semitism. God bless and protect this champion of civil liberties and human goodness. He’s a real Mensch.

Very easy. I have two long legs, and 1 shorter “leg” between them. 🤪

75 here. 1.5 x 50, eh?

[🇺🇸𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐘🇺🇸 @BTUPDATES10]

Serious question.

Is anyone on X actually over 50?

Don’t lie

You bet she’s beautiful. But what happened to the next generation?

Somewhere recently I saw a headline, “Slouching towards Fort Sumpter.” It is apt, and we stand warned.

Who was the journalist on Luz McDonald’s show today who gave a clear-headed and disturbing brief introduction to AGI and what it could do to humanity?

[Wm P McKane@NoeticMT @NoeticMT]

Thank heavens for a good man in the Senate.

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Shutting DHS down has zero impact and zero changes for ICE.

ICE already has $75B in funding from the BBB that I did not vote for.

But it will hit FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA and our Cybersecurity Agency.

As a Democrat, I can’t vote to shut down critical parts of our government.

Powerful note. Gracias, amigo! Viva Venezuela!

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

Sentiments of Venezuelans

I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.

If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing

Then shut the fuck up.

You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.

I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.

This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.

Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.

My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.

Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.

And everything died.

Not slowly.
Violently.

People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.

They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.

People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.

They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.

So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”

No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.

China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.

They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.

If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity

Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.

Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.

This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.

Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.

If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation

Then again
Shut the fuck up.

This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

Folks, I really enjoy and benefit from using X’s Grok. Very helpful. I use the voice of Leo, a British gentleman. Several days ago, out of the blue, Grok began using my voice, pronunciations, word choices. No idea why. But until that moment, I had no idea it could do this. Much potential for various uses.

[Wm P McKane@NoeticMT @NoeticMT]

Brilliant by Sec of State Rubio. Watch out, Cuba. Your regime is not long for this world.
