But Trudeau was a devastating failure.

Trump's an easy target. The NYC bravado is embarrassing for people. Easier to "be against" that type of person in our current matriarchical times.

#Trump is the most discounted, underestimated, and disrespected leader of our time.

Imagine thinking this was unhealthy.

My harshest critic is my husband. Most people can’t honestly say that, but I can.

He’s always my final boss when trying to assert an idea. He’s super smart and usually comes at things from a different angle. And he’s my primary editor. He’s also the head of my website’s customer support center.

Unlike my social media where I shoot from the hip and fuck around, I post detailed articles on my site only after my harshest critic gives me his feedback.

And he doesn’t phrase things like a loving husband normally would. He goes over the top.

He’ll literally put comments on my drafts like “This is fucking right wing trash Lyn. I know you were raised in a trailer park so I don’t expect much, but do better. Rephrase literally all of this.”

That sounds abusive but it’s humorous in practice given our context when working.

We’re not very politically different, but I tend to lean slightly righter than him, so that’s a common source of debate. I pull him right and he pulls me left, not as people who are far apart but who are slightly apart but both opinionated and debate over every inch. It’s on an issue by issue basis.

Mostly he does those comments for humor, but partially because he wants a debate and will bring like a well-researched150 IQ argument to hold the line as I try to argue through his defenses. And I write my research for investment clients of all political views, left and right, globally, as objective as possible, and so he purposely helps keep me straight and steelmans all my arguments for clients.

We debated in the early days about the vaccine in the pandemic, for example, back in 2020 and 2021. We’re still kind of debating about it now in 2025, both granting certain details to the other.

But whenever I write something of substance that is controversial, I know he will read it and call me a retard, which I have to push through and turn into a publishable article.

My social media posts are just me, whereas my long-form posts take time and argue through him.

I often post thoughts and gather comments on Twitter/X, since a lot of tradfi financial pros are happy to discuss. Then I write a piece, and my husband looks through it. I either agree or disagree, and then publish. I get the final say, but I only publish after I’m confident after his arguments.

TLDR; My summary from this whole rambling piece is that I suggest you find a close loved one who will call you a trailer park retard while challenging you on every piece you write while loving you.

Few people will do that but it’s important.

Don't lean in, Mr. Alden!

"I have a few budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional #Bitcoin."

-Saylor

The gates are being opened.

#Bitcoin

Let's level set here.

1. Trump has been better for #Bitcoin than Kamala would have ever been.

2. A #Bitcoin Reserve is now it's own thing, separate from the Strategic Shitpile. Hopefully the Senate can make these it permanent within this term and we see the US move to grow the reserve.

3. Texas might be stacking sats soon, with more states to follow. States don't have a money printer and have better incentives to save than the Feds do. I'd rather see Federalism made wealthy while "Democracy" is gradually empovered.

4. We could see better #Bitcoin tax treatment, and who knows, maybe the abolition of the IRS.

4. Attitudes toward #Bitcoin amongst governments and corporations all over the world are experiencing a sea change. Bottom up is being met by top down. Adoption at every layer, from every direction. Soon it will be embarrassing not to "get it".

We are really winning.

"I told them we've already got some!"

Trump on #Bitcoin Reserve.

1. We already have #Bitcoin.

2. Buying more not high priority.

Winning. 😂

Ginger probably doing the heavy lifting there. Miracle root.

Whole lemon, ginger, raw honey, and coconut oil into a blender.

The citrus pectin in the lemon peel will cleanse the GI tract. The honey, ginger, lemon juice, and coconut oil all act as supporting actors to the pectin.

The phrase “Hard Power, Soft Belief” in The Technological Republic appears to be a strategic framework for how the West—particularly the United States—should navigate the future of technology, governance, and national security.

Breaking it Down:

Hard Power refers to military strength, economic leverage, and technological superiority—the tangible tools of control that nation-states use to project dominance.

Soft Belief seems to be their term for ideological influence, cultural narratives, and belief systems that shape public perception—essentially, the values that sustain a society’s cohesion and geopolitical strength.

In the context of Karp and Zamiska’s argument, this phrase likely reflects their concern that the U.S. is losing both its technological edge (hard power) and its ideological conviction (soft belief) in its own strength, thus putting the West at risk of decline. They seem to be making the case that Silicon Valley, tech elites, and Western institutions have abandoned a shared belief in national security, sovereignty, and resilience, instead becoming too focused on consumer tech, individualism, and political correctness.

The Narrative They’re Pushing

Their argument appears to be that:

1. The West’s Hard Power is Eroding → China, Russia, and other geopolitical rivals are aggressively advancing in AI, military technology, and economic influence, while the U.S. is distracted with trivial consumer tech and internal political strife.

2. The West’s Soft Belief is Crumbling → The cultural and ideological unity that once underpinned U.S. dominance (patriotism, innovation for the state, and national security focus) has weakened due to Silicon Valley’s detachment from government partnerships.

3. A Crisis of Confidence → They may argue that because of cultural shifts and ideological fragmentation, the West lacks the will to maintain dominance in AI, defense, and emerging technologies.

4. A Call for Technocratic Re-Alignment → They are likely advocating for a reintegration of tech elites into national security infrastructure, urging companies to prioritize AI and defense partnerships rather than entertainment apps and social media.

Why This Matters

This narrative serves as a justification for more centralized control over technology, AI, and security infrastructure. By framing the issue as a crisis of both power (hard) and belief (soft), the book may be positioning state-aligned technocracy as the “solution” to maintain U.S. dominance. It subtly implies that decentralized, open-source, and libertarian approaches to technology are naive or dangerous, favoring a model where tech companies operate in lockstep with government objectives.

Now that the US is breaking away from the woke, green, euro-globalist order, #Palantir urges the US Gov to launch it's own "America First" technocratic police state.

"A Call for Technocratic Re-Alignment → They are likely advocating for a reintegration of tech elites into national security infrastructure, urging companies to prioritize AI and defense partnerships rather than entertainment apps and social media."

That's gonna be a big no from me, dog.

To write off history because of the presence of slaves would have you writing off a lot of history.

While Richard M. Weaver is best known for the classic Ideas Have Consequences, the foundation of his career was this study of his native South. Calling the Southern tradition "the last non-materialist civilization in the Western world," he traced its roots to feudalism, chivalry, religiosity, and aristocratic conventions. The Old South, he concluded, "may indeed be a hall hung with splendid tapestries in which no one would care to live; but from them we can learn something of how to live."

Weaver’s exploration of the ideals and ideas of the Southern tradition as expressed in the military histories, autobiographies, diaries, and novels of the era following the Civil War—especially those written by the men and women on the losing side—is offered to a new generation of readers for whom that tradition has fallen into disrepute and who can scarcely imagine a life rooted in nature, the soil, and a powerful sense of honor.

The Southern Tradition at Bay is, as Jeffrey Hart noted, the work of a man who admired what "is admirable indeed, and that is the foundation of wisdom and indeed sanity."

I want to live in a place where convicted pedophiles are publicly executed, and I want that place to be the United States.

Sucking back endless doomsday predictions is the past time of the fearful and the defeated.

Learn enough about the headwinds to develop a strategy, and then focus forthrightly on execution, largely ignoring enemy minutiae.

Staying plugged in day in and out to Alex Jones / Whitney Webb types is a brain drain that's making you dumber and more fearful.

I will never suffer a woman in church leadership. Rookie mistake by Trump.

I consume 400g+ of sugar a day, am completely insulin and leptin sensitive, and my metabolic panel is pristine.

Why? Because I've limited fat intake to only a bit of saturated fats (coconut oil, butter, milk fat, egg yolk, tallow) and I relentessly disrespect PUFA, including seed oils and 99% of fish oil.

Don't blame sugar for what hyper processed industrial fats have done.

This tactic worked on boomers, but it's not going to work on me.

Speaking out against the pedocentric world order is no longer optional.

I don't accept the trans craze, gay culture, or any other form of pedophilia. All feed on our young. All supported by feminists and feminist men (pedophilia's soldiers).

You don't have to accept it either.

We are so used to being gentle to evil behavior that harms future generations that it's no wonder the world looks like hell and the worst of mankind's potential is on display.

Have the courage to defend good things for the sake of our young. Leave it better than you received it, for goodness sake.

Be gentle to innocence, praise the good, forgive the fallen, and be harsh to evil behavior (publicly).

Actually pretty impressed with how clean the overall #Bitkey UX is.

I could see how this would be useful as a daily spending rig, sort of filling the same place as today's checking/credit card role. The key sits in your pocket, replacing your wallet for payments.

The daily spending threshold makes it easy to get your regular, low risk purchases in (lunch, coffee) without any friction. Above that, grab your key and auth via NFC. Very smooth.

Obviously, because biometrics are usernames and not passwords, this type of setup does NOT make sense for savings or retirement; only as a daily spending account.

Not wild about the app knowing your email, logging into your Google account, and integrating against Coinbase, but I understand what they are trying to accomplish there.

One day I'd like to see this type of UX reimplemented on Ark with user privacy/safety in mind.
