Few Americans really realized they had it easier than the rest of the world being at its center.

It's coming to an end.

The pie won't grow as much, or shrink, competition for a slice will be tougher.

Major bumps this year and coming ones.

And your kids & grand kids will have it a lot harder.
Amazing time.

We're watching a country who created a world of economic and alliances around itself, who benefits the most the wealth increase, now undoing it all ITSELF.

Voluntarily.

Setting ITSELF aside.

People have done a massive disservice to Ukraine and Europe by pretending Trump might do the right thing and help Ukraine. It raised hopes in a fantasy and kept people from facing reality. Trump is with Putin and all Europeans need to face that squarely.

President Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.

USA decadence means not enough will care to fight its police state.
It is no longer a question of whether the USA is becoming a police state. It is now a police state. The only question is whether Americans care enough to try and fight the police state they are in.

It took a hundred years to create the Bureau as we knew it. And it took one dinner at the White House to destroy it.

Just sent out this free piece. I hear some saying yesterday's summit changed little--nothing could be further from the truth. The summit helped Russia and hurt Ukraine. It had 3 main components.
First, US-Russian relations are being normalized in front of our eyes. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Great article from Glenn about the latest core update.

But Google as a precursor of ICE (ok, ok, its MLs systems) no longer cares about its users.

There are now more than enough cases of sites/pages disappeared from page 1.
It was a red-hot update, which was fitting since it was right before July 4th weekend. :) Here's my latest -> The June 2025 Google Core Update: Analysis and Findings covering HCU(X) surges, AI Overview impact, YMYL volatility, and more

Will she also refer GOP senators, like Rubio, to DOJ for their bi partisan report that said Russia activily supported Trump?

Kinda weird someone referred as a Russian useful idiot wants to muddy those facts some more.

99.9% sure that's what bibi told Donny over the phone that convinced him to drop a few big bombs in Iran...

"That'll be easy, plus may get the Nobel!"

Same days Donny ranted, he should have got the Nobel...

Days later bombs drop on Iran.

Donny played like a puppet.

Again.
lmao -- Netanyahu tells Trump he's nominated him for the Nobel Prize

America's Maoist Cultural Revolution in action.

Superiors' follow orders to preserve their lifestyle instead of their oath, codes, professionalism.

The laws & constitution they pretend to represent take the back seat.
“I was in the midst of preparing for a potential move to Washington, D.C. to take on a new position at FBI headquarters…But, it turned out, I had made a terrible mistake: I had remained friends with someone who had appeared on Kash Patel’s enemies list.”

Google steal... No really, they should be broken up.

But yes all LLMs steal too.

So instead of stealing, they should pay.

Some quick tariff math. 🧵

The S&P 500 has fallen -4.5% on news of the tariffs.

Of course, markets had already priced in tariffs -- this is the response to how much worse they were than expected.

Google's #Gemini is such a bad beta product. It's mind boggling...

It can't get basic factual stuff right and I mean basic things, not big complex processes.

Whoever decided to push this live should be out of a job.

Such a waste of time.

🔥 Rand sums it up well, for "Search" Chatgpt may become Yahoo's size in a few years.
If we include ChatGPT, what is Google's *REAL* market share of search?

After years of speculation, we finally have enough reliable data to build high quality numbers for both services. I think you'll be quite surprised; I definitely was!
