With Trump, we see American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain. American imperialism is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous.
I wrote this essay in March 2025 when Vance visited Greenland, and it is unfortunately still too relevant.

The PayPal-antir Mafia that pushed Trump into power—twice—believes in a hierarchy of human intelligence which, you may be shocked to learn, puts themselves at the very top.

It’s a convenient delusion for the powerful to believe they were just born better.

Just your regular reminder that the Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee signed a subpoena demanding that Trump and Bondi turn over the Epstein files to the committee. To this day, they both refuse to do so. No vote by Congress is necessary. They could do it today.

The Federalist Society has apparently taken down the video of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's "Fireside Chat" at the National Lawyers Convention on November 7 (the one where he said that he and the Justice Department are at "war" against federal district courts):

A little bit of history worth knowing. If it’s history, they are trying to wipe it out, to make room for the absurd tales of eternal innocence that bring fascism and bloodshed closer.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It’s not some radical left idea to say that it’s unhealthy for society when a few people hold obscene amounts of wealth and power.

When people like Elon Musk hold that much influence, the US starts to look like an oligarchy, and that’s dangerous for the entire world
