The capture of Nicolas Maduro by American forces on January 3 clarified something in nationalist discourse. There exists a faction, growing in visibility if not in coherence, that has confused opposition to foreign influence in American politics with opposition to a particular foreign country in all things at all times.
These are not the same thing, and the distinction matters now more than ever.
Zionism, understood as the political project of maintaining and advancing Israeli state interests, cannot and should not function as an efficacious force in American politics.
Its interests are not America’s interests. Its priorities are not our priorities. Its enemies are not necessarily our enemies.
The same is true of Britain, of France, of Japan, of any nation on earth. A coherent American nationalism refuses to subordinate American policy to any foreign interest, whether that interest arrives wearing a keffiyeh or a kippah.
But here is where a certain faction goes wrong: they have allowed their opposition to Israeli influence to become the organizing principle of their entire worldview.

I've been saying it for awhile now but we need to really address the judge question across the Western world. In the video below you see 2 Polish Judges attempting to grab and block the sitting President of Poland.
We need to start throwing Judges in Jail for bad rulings. Enough with Judicial immunity. These people aren't above the law and its insane we've allowed this to go on. x.com/Cornell_Slampi…

We must ban modern drone warfare and hold to account as war criminals those who continue it.
Fighting and dying for what you truly believe in is one of the purest forms of mankinds expression, like it or not.
War is, nevertheless a disgusting blight at the same time. It's not poetic. Brutality rarely is, but brutality and the capacity for it is human.
Small drones, automated warfare, the epitome of dehumanized conflict must be expunged from mankinds story. Those who wage was must bear the physical and spiritual burden of it.

No you silly Canadian. The United States cannot violate the Monroe Doctrine or it's corollaries.
@BrettAMacDonald So was thisThe Spanish-American War (1898): The U.S. intervened directly in Spain's remaining colonies (Cuba and Puerto Rico), effectively pushing a European power out.

Other than Bill Ackman, no one was writing essay long posts before chatGPT. (And his never read like AI.) When I see a long post, immediately tune it out. It's INSULTING to readers to not think and write for yourselves.

When AI competes we all succeed.
We’re renaming our Max plans:
Max 5x → Max
Max 20x → Ultra
Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do.
We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing unts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed.
Weekly limits remain unchanged. View our plans here: claude.com/pricing

Interesting method that is certainly superior to everyone talking outloud to robots.
We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.
Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both
Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.
It tracks your internal speetact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.
Pre-orders are now live at:

This is a violation of the Monroe Doctrine.
We discussed the idea of Canada being the first Associate Member of the EU.
And what it would mean in practice.
A focus on the prosperity & security of our people.
Through closer policymaking, participation in EU programmes and inter-institutional work.
We're at the start of a journey ↓

I have been incredibly critical of Bukele because he was playing the game and playing it well with China.
Some updates:
1. October 13: Washington pressed Bukele on China. Rubio made clear that the United States would need the Salvadoran ports to remain free of foreign influence. China is attempting to control their port district. No commitment from Bukele but that's a start from the American side that had turned a blind eye.
2. Free trade agreements between China and El Salvador have stalled.

Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.
