Just released a new video connecting Sun Tzu’s insights from The Art of War to the ongoing war with Iran and today’s geopolitical chessboard. We look at strategy, deception, and long‑term objectives rather than headlines and slogans.: youtu.be/epZj1m1n3jI

MAGA republicans are now pretending to care about Venezuelans after recently praising the orange felon for deporting many of them back to Venezuela knowing full well their lives were in danger. MAGA is an idiotic racist death cult.

Republicans since Reagan have envisioned a Project 2025 America. Now that they have it, they aren't giving it up. Expect the shutdown to last and end badly.

True leadership, according to Sun Tzu, arises from moral rectitude and selflessness—concentrating power solely in the service of the mission and people. The leaders in that room other than Trump and his Secretary of War have these traits.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Charlie Kirk understood something crucial: Young voters aren’t tuning into cable—they’re scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. If Democrats want to reach the next generation, they need to start mastering the platforms where ideas actually spread.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.

Trump is compromised. On Epstein. And with Putin. Almost every person I know outside the US finds this obvious. Almost everything I've learned in behavioral psychology, supports this. HIS behavior supports this, daily. Occam's Razor supports this. Trump IS compromised.

It was reported yesterday that an Arizona resident near Flagstaff died from pneumonic plague (same bacterium as bubonic plague). Bubonic plague killed tens of millions in 14th century Europe. Today it’s easily treated with antibiotics. But cannot be treated with Ivermectin or prayer. MAGA look out.

Elon Musk posted that if the GOP Big Bill passes, he will form a new political party. He will call it "The America Party." Of course, if it wasn't for Musk, there would be no Big Bill and Trump would be facing multiple criminal trials.

To restate: Trump CANNOT and DOES NOT see beyond himself. He is NOT strategic. He is transactional. A walking talking "id." He only pivots from self-interest. Cannot shut up, even when it serves him. An injured malignant narcissist OWNED by disorders, has returned to power with cognitive decline.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

(1/2) There's lots of fear in Los Angeles right now. What I see, mostly, is anger and disgust. Tom Homan, whose picture is in encyclopedias under "thug," keeps referring to targets for deportation as "criminals" and in the next sentence, admits most have never been charged or convicted of crimes.
