Name someone with a Higher IQ than AOC?

Happy new month

Melania Trump tried to bully me into silence because she didn’t like what I had to say about her. Shouldn’t our First Lady have more important things to worry about?

🇸🇾🇺🇸 Syria has announced that the US has stolen $115.2 billion worth of oil so far. Looting, waste and burning of an estimated 341 million barrels' worth of oil, including the theft of an average of between 100,000-130,000 barrels per day, recently increasing to 150,000 barrels per day. The theft and wastage of some 59.9 million cubic meters of natural gas, and 413,000 tons of domestic gas resources Syria’s Foreign Ministry has decided to remind the United Nations of US crimes against the Syrian people, sending letters to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and Security Council President Ferit Hoxha demanding action to put an end to Washington's illegal behavior. In a summary of the letter published by Syrian media, the Foreign Ministry reminded the UN that “the US and its tools of terrorist organizations and militias continue to violate Syrian sovereignty and plunder the country’s wealth and strategic resources.” Damascus demanded accountability, compensation, an end to “the illegal presence of American forces,” and the “return of lands it occupies and the oil and gas fields of the Syrian state.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST FLIPPED THE SCRIPT ON IRAN Iran has the nerve to demand compensation from the United States. Trump’s response: Fine. Now we demand compensation from you. - For every American killed and wounded by your roadside bombs. - For the sailors murdered on the USS Cole. - For the thousands lost in the conflicts you fueled. - For the hundreds of thousands of your own people you’ve slaughtered over 50 years — including the 52,000 in the last five months alone. Trump has ordered his team to put this demand on the table in every single negotiation. Meanwhile the U.S. Navy blockade stays locked in place, costing the regime hundreds of millions every day. The Strait of Hormuz remains under American control. Iran can keep talking to Oman all they want, nothing moves until they deal with reality. This is what strength looks like. No more free passes for the world’s leading state sponsor of terror. America is done playing defense.

In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. Tax Code. Today, there are more than 16 million words. Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year. This must be simplified.

Has everybody seen the revelation, just announced in the Great State of Georgia, that the Fulton County D.A., Fani Willis, who Criminally Indicted your Favorite President, ME(!), & many other Innocent People/Patriots, HIRED & EXORBITANTLY PAID a “Romantic Partner” to Prosecute the 45th President of the United States of America, & then “financially benefitted from their relationship.” In other words, he was paid a “fortune,” & then took “Beautiful” Fani on expensive, but all paid for by Georgia, vacations to faraway lands!   THE ATLANTIC JOURNAL CONSTITUTION: “The bombshell public filing alleged that Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade, a private attorney, paid for lavish vacations he took with Willis, using the Fulton County funds his law firm received. County records show that Wade, who has played a prominent role in the [FAKE!] ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE against TRUMP & others, has been paid nearly $654,000 [WOW!] in legal fees since January 2022. The DA authorizes his compensation.”….. Donald Trump Truth Social 08:16 PM EST 01/08/24

The Hollow Men American capitalism is rotting from the head down. We have replaced the "Owner-Operator"—the risk-taker-with a new, parasitic class of corporate bureaucrat: The Risk-Free Insider. By "Insider," I am not referring to a specific title. I am referring to the entire administrative state that has captured the modern corporation. This includes the Directors who exist solely to collect fees, the Executives who exist solely to collect bonuses, and the Managers who exist solely to hire consultants. These are the hollow men of the boardroom. They are masters of PowerPoint. They wear the right suits. They say the right buzzwords about "governance" and "ESG." But they are mercenaries fighting a war with someone else’s ammunition. In a functioning economy, authority is tied to liability. If you make a bad decision, you lose your own money. That fear of loss is the only thing that keeps a business honest. It forces you to cut waste, obsess over the customer, and stay late to fix what is broken. Today, we have severed that link. We have rigged the game so that heads, the Insider wins; tails, the shareholder loses. If the stock goes up, the Insider collects a massive performance bonus. If the stock crashes due to their own incompetence, they are fired with a "Golden Parachute" worth tens of millions. They are gambling with the house’s money, and they never leave the table poorer than they arrived. This looting starts in the boardroom. We have normalized a "Country Club" culture where directors are selected based on social profiling rather than their ability to build a business. The modern board member is often a professional tourist—paid an average of $350,000 a year. Let’s be brutally honest about what that number represents. The average director is paid nearly five times the GDP per capita of the United States. They earn more for attending four quarterly lunches than the vast majority of Americans earn in five years of hard labor. And for what? Most of these directors are "over-boarded," sitting on three or four boards simultaneously. They treat directorships as a gig economy for the elite. They fly in, rubber-stamp a compensation package they didn't read, and fly out. They collect checks from companies they do not understand, do not use, and certainly do not love. They are not there to ask hard questions. They are there to be collegial. They are there to protect the other Insiders. And what happens when these boards hire executives who also have no personal capital at risk? We get the Delegation Economy. When a Risk-Free Insider faces a crisis—bloated expenses, a broken supply chain, or a stale product—they do not roll up their sleeves. They hire a consultant. They pay a strategy firm millions of shareholder dollars to produce a 100-page deck telling them what they already know. This is not management. It is intellectual money laundering. They use shareholder capital to buy an insurance policy for their own careers. If the plan fails, they can blame the consultants. They delegate the work because they are terrified of the responsibility. They would rather preside over a slow, comfortable decline than risk a bold mistake. While American Insiders are busy optimizing their severance packages, our global competitors are optimizing their products. They are not slowed down by bureaucracy. They are not waiting for a slide deck. They are outworking us. If we continue to fill our C-suites with administrators instead of operators, we will lose our edge. We will see iconic American franchises hollowed out by fees, managed for the benefit of the Insiders, while the true owners—the shareholders—are left holding the bag. The time for polite governance is over. If we want to save the American economy from mediocrity, we must demand a return to the "Owner’s Mentality." We need leaders who treat shareholder capital with the same reverence they treat their own savings. The era of the Risk-Free Insider must end.

Obama's accumulated an impressive list of accomplishments. He can literally say that he has done more than any other President before him. 1. First President to be photographed smoking a joint. 2. First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner. 3. First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in. 4. First President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States. 5. First President to violate the War Powers Act. - On March 19, 2011, President Obama authorized U.S. forces to join a NATO-led coalition enforcing a UN Security Council no-fly zone and protecting civilians during the Libyan civil war against Muammar Gaddafi. - This included airstrikes, suppression of air defenses, and later support roles (intelligence, refueling, drone strikes). 6. First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. 7. First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party. - This was due to Obamacare! 8. First President to spend a trillion dollars on "shovel-ready" jobs, before he admitted there was no such thing as "shovel-ready" jobs. 9. First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters. - The handling of the 2009 GM and Chrysler bankruptcies involved significant government intervention that critics (including legal scholars and affected creditors) argued bent or bypassed normal bankruptcy priorities to benefit the United Auto Workers (UAW) union. 10. First President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act through executive fiat. - No activist judge stopped him. 11. First President to order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the U.S., including those with criminal convictions. - Again, no activist judge stopped him. 12. First President to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees. - In June 2010, after the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Obama met with BP executives at the White House. BP agreed to establish a $20 billion escrow fund (contributed over time, starting with $5 billion in 2010) to compensate victims—individuals, businesses, and others—for economic damages. - Kenneth Feinberg, a lawyer with prior experience as Special Master for the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (under the Bush administration), was selected as the independent administrator. The fund was structured as an escrow account run outside direct BP or full government control to speed up claims and reduce litigation. - Feinberg had already served in the Obama administration as the “pay czar” overseeing executive compensation for TARP bailout recipients. 13. First President to tell a CEO of a major corporation (Chrysler) to resign. 14. First President to terminate America’s ability to put a man in space. 15. First President to cancel the National Day of Prayer and to say that America is NO LONGER a Christian nation. - He encouraged the invasion of Muslims. 16. First President to have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present. - The first instance occurred on May 27, 2011. While Obama was in France attending the G8 summit, he authorized the use of an autopen to sign the Patriot Act extension (PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011) just before it expired at midnight Eastern Time. White House officials confirmed at the time that they believed this was the first such use for legislation. - He later used it again in similar situations, such as signing an appropriations bill from Indonesia in 2011 and the fiscal cliff bill from Hawaii in 2013.

Based on your experience, can you tell what year this Chevrolet is from? 1. 68 2. 71 3. 55 No cheating allowed!

@SeaSunWolfe @RealDolierReeve This is what I vote for

More than 1 in 3 women of reproductive age in America now live in a state with a Trump abortion ban. When I am President of the United States, I will sign a law restoring and protecting reproductive freedom in every state.

Hello my dear friend @todd999

Hello how you doing @CwwWiese

The below post from America's Political Antichrist is the clearest signal possible that the major AI companies and the federal government are colluding to eliminate competition in the current Wild West of AI development and applications. They are using fear to establish control. If AI is the most powerful tool humanity has invented in recent memory, the very last people on planet Earth who should be allowed to control it are Barack Obama and his Hellspawn Legion of Politicos.

I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development. Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step.   But I’m even more encouraged by the growing recognition that how this powerful new

BREAKING: United Airlines will cancel some December flights because of fuel costs, with CFO Mike Leskinen saying there will be flights in December "that we won't fly that we thought we were going to fly," and that if fuel stays high the airline will make cuts even into the first quarter "and beyond into 2027." US jet fuel surged to $4.63 a gallon, up +105% since the war began, and US airline fares were up 23% year over year in August with most of the recent rise not yet in the data.
