In other words, Pete Hegseth is completely vindicated in her removal since the Admiral immediately transitioned to defiant partisanship once the mask was off.

刚刷到 Chamath 这段访谈切片，短短二十秒，伤害性不大，侮辱性极强。
他直接对着镜头发问：过去十年，硅谷真正拿得出手的技术突破到底有什么？
左边是马斯克，单枪匹马把可回收火箭、全球通信网、电动车这三座大山全立起来了；
右边是硅谷剩下的所有人，十年磨一剑，给全人类贡献了 AirPods 和 Instagram 短视频。
以前总听人吹硅谷的工程师每天都在思考怎么改变世界，
结果回头一看账本才发现，除了老马还在跟地球引力和制造业死磕，剩下大半个硅谷的顶级头脑，过去十年基本上都在研究怎么往你的耳朵里塞耳机、怎么往你的眼睛里塞算法擦边视频。
这话虽然难听，但确实就是过去十年科技圈最真实的写照。

Six weeks ago, the captain of a Japanese container ship was hit by severe abdominal pain in the North Pacific. The nearest U.S. rescue helicopter was more than 1,000 miles away.
His ship, the One Majesty, was 58 miles south of Adak, Alaska. He was 58 years old and he needed a hospital.
There was no hospital. There was ocean in every direction.
The U.S. Coast Guard in Kodiak launched an MH-60 Jayhawk anyway.
A thousand miles is Tampa to New York. No helicopter flies that in one hop.
So the Jayhawk hopped down the Aleutian Islands, refueling at Dutch Harbor and again at Adak.
That solved the fuel. It did not solve the crew. Nobody should fly a thousand miles through Aleutian weather and then hold a hover over a moving ship.
So the Alaska Air National Guard sent an HC-130J. It carried a fresh Coast Guard helicopter crew and two pararescuemen out to Adak to take over.
And if that one helicopter broke down out there?
A second Jayhawk flew to Cold Bay just to stand by.
The fresh crew flew the last 58 miles over open water with the HC-130J watching from above. They lowered the hoist to the deck and lifted the captain off.
Back at Adak he was moved onto the HC-130J and flown to Anchorage.
Two Coast Guard helicopters. One Air Guard rescue plane. A relief crew. Two pararescuemen. More than a thousand miles.
All of it for one Japanese sailor none of them had ever met.
From Japan: we saw this. Thank you.

Hey @HeinzTweets CEO, why do Europeans get the best-quality ketchup while Americans go without?
We tried to bring your superior European recipe (real sugar, incredible taste) to the U.S. Instead, you're pushing "Simply Heinz" — but it just doesn't taste as good.
Heinz is a great American brand. Why are you giving Europe a higher-quality product than the one you offer to your own home country?
Stop forcing us to look elsewhere for a replacement. Do the right thing for American diners. 🇺🇸🍅

Did you read this screenshot carefully? It outlines in detail Jeffrey Epstein and Reid Hoffman creating a blueprint for Democrats to sabotage President Trump's federal budget cuts through a maze of billionaire-funded NGOs operating as a quasi-government. Now you know the real connection between Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice Reid Hoffman and the campaigns of Congressional Democrats that Hoffman funds.
The REAL Epstein Files: Bloated and habitually flatulent Rohit "Ro" Khanna, Congressional Democrats and the Democratic Party were so fattened from gorging on campaign contributions during the 2026 midterm elections from Jeffrey Epstein's obese bestie and Orgy Island visitor Reid Hoffman, that these same gluttenous Democrats found themselves unable to get up and scurry away from their Reid Hoffman-funded Release The Files Hoax.

Fun fact: The woman pictured here credited the viral success of her campaign to the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a China proxy organization operating here in the United States.
PSL is the political arm of the Shanghai-based Neville Roy Singham, an avowed Marxist multimillionaire who has bankrolled anti-American, pro-CCP nonprofits to the tune of $278 million.
Singham’s political foot soldiers have been boots on the ground in dozens of anti-data center fights across the country. But striking down the $5 billion data center campus in Landover, MD, was by far their biggest scalp.
In the ongoing campaign against American AI, cui bono?
More than anyone, it’s our chief political adversary.

Mark, you started by saying we have no idea what healthcare costs to buy or to provide in this country. None. Then your conclusion is to propose that the people who cannot see the costs should be the ones to run it.
There is a reason nobody knows what anything costs, and you listed it yourself. Medicaid, Medicare, supplemental plans, Medicare Advantage, self insured employers under a tax code that hides the premium in the paycheck. Every layer you named is a government program or a government created structure, and in every one of them the person getting the care is not the person paying for it. That is where the price went. Prices exist where buyers pay. Remove the buyer and you get exactly the fog you are describing. Universal care removes every buyer who is left.
Then look at what you are asking for. Every private contract in the industry published by federal order. Every claim in the country handed to state and federal researchers. The DOJ turned loose on the pricing structure. Bipartisan legislation to work out what care we need to provide and what it should cost. That is not a market reform. That is the state seizing the information of an entire industry so it can set the terms of trade for every doctor, hospital, and patient in the country. You call the conglomerates Too Big To Care. The entity you want running it is the only one with a monopoly on force.
And the number. The post you are replying to has CBO at $3 trillion a year in new federal spending, 21.4 percent of payroll, with the author conceding it is illustrative and not scored. You respond that nobody knows the real cost and we should find out after we commit. No investor you have ever met would fund a company on those terms, and you have never funded one that way yourself. Only government gets to spend money first and discover the price later, because only government can send the bill to people who did not agree to it.
The information asymmetry you are describing is not a reason to negotiate blind. It is a reason to stop having a single buyer negotiating at all. Put the patient back in the transaction and prices appear on their own. Cost Plus is proof that you already know this.
Mises showed a century ago that a planner without prices cannot calculate, Hayek showed why the knowledge he needs is never in one place, and Rand showed why he has no right to try. You are proposing to prove all three wrong with a commission while you admit no one has any idea how much all of it will cost. Do you think they did not know what they were talking about, or do you just not want to find out?
We have no idea what healthcare costs to buy or costs to provide in this country. None.
States cover Medicaid at some level, but not all offer the same care. Nor do they all receive federal support in the same way.
Traditional Medicare requires supplemental and drug coverage. All of which differ by plan, and are offered by mostly huge conglomerates we should break up and are Too Big To Care
Medicare Advantage is all offered by those same Too Big To Care conglomerates. Every contract with a provider differs and while those contracts have pricing that is transparent, the fees and other charges are not.
67 pct of employees that get coverage from work get it from a self insured employer. I can tell you with absolute certainty that most get it from the same conglomerates as well. As a results they have zero idea how much they are paying for medical care or medications (even with recent legislation)
Every thing that is covered and paid for in this country has an actual cost, across the direct costs and indirect costs, that is hidden by the Too Big to Care conglomerates that should be broken up.
Market Dominant hospitals and most non profit hospitals are not innocent. They play along when they have to, use their own leverage when they can. Increasing the cost of care.
And the PBMs that are owned by the conglomerates have bastardized the cost of brand and specialty drugs in a way that should be investigated by the DOJ.
Put simply , HUGE dominant distributors are forced by PBMs to pay RETAIL Price for drugs that make them unaffordable to everyone.
If we want universal care, we can say the Feds will negotiate , but the information asymmetry is so insane, they will be negotiating blind.
The first thing a bi partisan legislation should do is require that all healthcare contracts be made public with no redactions other than personal information
AND
All claims be de-identified and available exclusively to state and federal researchers to determine what care and medications COULD cost.
Then we can start to extrapolate what care we need to provide and then determine what it costs and whether it will save or cost us money.
In parallel we can determine how we will deal with the technology and processes to handle implementation of some version of universal care

My expertise is in strip malls, but I'm going to offer some dating advice for the first and last time.
If you are serious about finding that person that you will end up settling down with:
1) Don't ignore red flags. The potential deal-killers that you notice by the third date are going to be what cause you to break up in the third year.
2) No matter how great the chemistry is, you need to think about some serious things that maybe didn't matter when you were in your mid-twenties, and perhaps walk away quickly. If you want to have a family and they don't, it may not be worth pursuing. If you're religious and they're not, you should face the music now. Don't sweep things under the rug that will come up in four years. Need to make some adult decisions
3) If your gut tells you that you're in a relationship with the wrong person - get out. Doesn't matter if it's been years and your families are close. You need to be straight with youself. If you know it's not a good fit deep down, it's not going to feel great in the short-term, but you're much better off single than in a relationship that ultimately isn't going to last.
4) Marry someone happy
In the end, for the vast vast majority of people who really do want to settle down -- it all works out. And if it happens much later than you thought, it's just as sweet, and you realize when you look back that every moment you spent worried about it was wasted.

My husband watched me pray in our Sikh faith at the RNC — and one of our last text messages before he died a couple of weeks later was telling me
he was so proud of me. He was supposed to be there, but he was also dying from two serious illnesses, and he could not make it at the last minute. Our medical staff at home took care of him while he watched me pray in our faith tradition -/ just as we did at home daily over each meal.
All you trash who have denigrated my prayer to the ONE GOD many faiths believe in, deeply hurt me for the last two years, but I could not comment back because I was part of a campaign and then confirmation -/ administration. It’s over. I won’t be silent any longer.
Go read the First Amendment and my extensive record on behalf of ALL people of faith in America. For 34 years. And then let’s measure our respective records on religious liberty. I welcome all comers who think they can prove they did more than I did for ALL people of faith in this country. There are none. I intend to keep fighting for ALL people of faith in America for the rest of my life. But I won’t hide my own faith for one second. It’s protected by our Constitution.

In 2000 I graduated college and went to work for a very well known and prestigious management consulting firm. My colleagues and I would go out to lunch every day and debate politics. We did it almost every day. There was a large group of us and I was the only conservative in it.
In 2001 I was working with many of those people on a project in Atlanta. When September 11th happened, we were on one of the top floors of a building downtown, watching the events unfold on TV.
The next day a bunch of us met up in Olympic Park. We were all confused and fearful, trying to figure out what had happened and what are travel plans were since none of us lived in Atlanta.
I sat in the park on a massive blanket with a bunch of Ivy League graduates, listening to them talk about how they hoped that the terrorist attacks would not cause people to discriminate against Muslims. The buildings were still burning. This was Wednesday. They did the Norm Macdonald post perfectly.
The park was full of people. Some had even had brought American flags. I remember vividly thinking to myself "why am I not over there with those people?"
One of my coworkers told the group that he would "call out" any TSA workers for singling out Muslims to be patted down and searched. Everyone except myself agreed with him and even cheered him on. At that point I couldn't take the foolishness anymore. I told them they were the dumbest fucking people I had ever been around and then I walked back to the Westin hotel.
I lasted seven years in that industry. I didn't particularly enjoy it and truly despised the time they make you waste, but clients liked me so my company kept promoting me. I stayed until I couldn't take it any longer. Left and never set foot in corporate America again.
That feeling I had on the blanket, being surrounded by suicidally empathetic dumb fucking people, it's the same feeling I had before the midterms, watching Democrats rally around people like Abdul El-Sayed. It's why I devoted so much time and energy to posting videos of El-Sayed telling everyone over the years, in his own words, who he really is.
I didn't make one dime off of those posts or the time spent researching. Perhaps it was a complete waste of time. Maybe so.
I'm seeing all this talk on this site now about conservatives getting paid to post. How nice for them. I have never accepted money to post. I've been offered many times from conservative companies, groups and individuals, more than ever over the past year. My answer is always the same. I told people long ago that I would never post for money, so I will never post for money. All my posts come directly from me.
Many emotions, feelings, and memories have faded over the years as I have grown older. That feeling of contempt for people ushering their own demise is still strong as ever.

This is a formal request for Susie Wiles and James Blair to stop harassing me with texts and calls.
If there is a factual inaccuracy in what I said, send it to me in writing and I will vigorously correct and apologize for any misstatements. I will note that everything I said is substantiated by other senior officials.
If you want to file a lawsuit and get into discovery of whether it’s provably true that Ballard and Continental had an undue influence on the White House policy process, do it.
I believe we are in an existential moment for the country, and Americans were owed an honest accounting of the past two years so we identify the problems we need to move on from.

Holy crap.
This guy went on Joe Rogan as a whistleblower and called out Susie Wiles. Immediately after the episode, Trump fired her.
Means gave specific examples of Susie putting corporate interests first including not cleaning up school lunches because junk food companies would lose money. She also pushed for glyphosate immunity despite concerns it causes cancer.
Now she is apparently harassing Means and he dares her to sue him so he can prove it all in court.
I like this guy.
