Silicon Valley Bends the Knee David Cay Johnston exposes how tech CEOs fear Trumpโ€™s retaliation โ€” and how a secret Intel deal gives him dangerous power over private enterprise.

Silicon Valley CEOs fear Trump, and with good reason. And you should be scared, too.

The only people who hate America are the people promoting the radical changes to American society and law through their 2025 plan.

I would like to suggest adding banana costumes (or other fruit) to the mix for October 18

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions:

1) Reminding participants and observers that theyโ€™re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate

2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

The Norwegian Nobel Committee felt bad for Trump, and found out he always eats his vegetables. So they are awarding him a prize after all.

Charlie Kirk was a terrible person, but his prowess at organizing was astonishing.

Democrats, progressive and moderate, are using tactics from the 1970s.

Republicans spend hundreds of millions on networking, jobs, and outreach every year. Democrats waste their money on obsolete stuff.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Speaker Mike Johnson is all over TV, stamping his tiny feet and saying, "Gosh darn it, I'm just so angry with Democrats," while telling lies about how the GOP is trying to save America from Trump's tariffs, spending cuts and insane spending projects, while not using those words.

He's very squirmy.

Watching the president of my alma mater speak out forcefully in support of academic freedom and free speech and moral courage and good God it is so refreshing to actually see leadership in this arena (and leadership, period)

Any news organization that treated "Will Trump Get Nobel?" as a remotely serious question, and not one more indication of his accelerating hallucinatory patterns, has some 'splaining to do.

Looking at you, all major news orgs.
