Having covered Charlotte crime, courts for 10 yrs I think I can supply some insight as to why things turned out this way. It took decades but it was a choice at every turn. /1

Here is the letter we sent President Trump about taking action against tech companies with national security responsibilities that are selling out the US to Communist China at #COP31. 2/
OMG another Stevie and Jared helmed Tupperware®️ party! Make it stop. They must have so much product in their garages…
President Trump is determined to bring an end to this horrible war, which has caused enormous loss of life, destruction, and suffering. We are working hard to find a negotiated solution that can deliver lasting peace and create the conditions for a sovereign, secure, and prosperous Ukraine within a more stable European security environment.
Before beginning the two days of trilateral talks with Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi, @SEPeaceMissions and I will meet with our partners from Ukraine, the EU, NATO, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy to continue the close consultation and coordination we have undertaken on European security and Ukraine’s postwar future over the past several weeks.
These will be the first trilateral talks since February. Building on our separate consultations with both sides, our objective is to bring Ukraine and Russia together to discuss directly their postwar security concerns, proposals, and potential solutions. We hope these discussions will identify areas of common ground, advance practical solutions, and build momentum toward the next phase of negotiations.
Ultimately, achieving a comprehensive and lasting settlement will also require direct engagement between Russia and our European partners on the broader security arrangements that affect them. We hope the discussions in Abu Dhabi will create the conditions for that engagement to begin in the near future, as part of a broader multilateral process.
Our work has focused on four interconnected priorities: ending the fighting, developing credible postwar security guarantees and arrangements that reduce the risk of renewed conflict, preparing a comprehensive economic and prosperity plan for Ukraine, and advancing humanitarian measures to alleviate suffering and address the human consequences of this war.
Together with Ukraine, the EU, and other European partners, we are working to address Ukraine’s substantial postwar fiscal and reconstruction needs, support critical infrastructure, attract private investment, and create the conditions for long-term economic growth and self-sufficiency.
We are also working with the parties on important humanitarian issues, including the return of prisoners and civilians, and practical measures to alleviate suffering and reduce the human cost of this conflict.
An important part of this process is encouraging all parties to begin thinking seriously about what comes after the war. By discussing postwar security, economic recovery, and the mechanisms needed to prevent future conflict, we hope to shift the focus from managing the war toward building the foundations for a durable peace.
The existing European security agreements and institutions provide an important foundation for this work. We want to build upon what has worked, identify where existing mechanisms have fallen short, and what practical improvements are needed to make them more effective in the future. Our discussions will focus on stronger consultation, reliable crisis communications, greater military transparency, and reciprocal measures to reduce escalation risks, while fully respecting the sovereignty and independent decision-making of every nation.
This is an extraordinarily difficult and complicated conflict. We recognize the difficult decisions ahead and are approaching these discussions with determination and realism. Our hope is to make meaningful progress, establish a practical pathway forward, and help create the conditions for a lasting peace.

The Senate finally returns after 39 days of vacation.
They report at 3 PM then leave Tuesday for another five days off.
The most worthless Senate ever has 700 House-passed bills on John Thune’s desk awaiting a vote.
John Thune is the worst majority leader ever.
Howie and Commerce aided and abetted.

“primary parent smartphone screen time was significantly associated with slower receptive vocabulary growth”
Parents are scrolling on their phones rather than talking to their kids
Question: Are children’s and parental screen use associated with children’s receptive vocabulary and grammar development from ages 5 to 7 years?
Findings: In this cohort study of 747 Norwegian children, primary parent smartphone screen time was significantly associated with slower receptive vocabulary growth, and children’s digital device ownership was significantly associated with lower baseline receptive vocabulary and grammar scores.
Meaning: Study results suggest that parental smartphone use and children’s device ownership may be meaningful indicators of risk for poorer language outcomes, highlighting the importance of considering screen use at the family level when evaluating children’s language development.

Now is a good time to revisit some old clips of Jensen trying to mislead people on why it's okay for NVIDIA sell AI chips to China.
This was the key moment from his interview on @dwarkesh_sp's podcast (time stamp 57:36):
1. Dwarkesh asks why it’s okay to sell NVIDIA chips to China given the national security implications of AI models like Mythos.
2. Jensen gives a misleading answer, arguing that it’s okay to sell American chips to China because China already produces 60% of the world’s chips.
3. But as Jensen definitely knows, compute is measured in flops, not number of chips.
4. Dwarkesh then pushes back, pointing out that on a flops basis, China has 10% of the compute the US has, and giving them more compute would change their cyber capabilities.
This is a common pattern with Jensen. He's developed talking points that sound plausible to a non-technical audience about why there is no conflict between NVIDIA's financial interests and US national security.
But on the rare occasion when he's interviewed by someone like Dwarkesh who knows what he's talking about, it immediately becomes obvious that he's spouting nonsense.
The Jensen Huang episode.
0:00:00 – Is Nvidia’s biggest moat its grip on scarce supply chains?
0:16:25 – Will TPUs break Nvidia’s hold on AI compute?
0:41:06 – Why doesn’t Nvidia become a hyperscaler?
0:57:36 – Should we be selling AI chips to China?
1:35:06 – Why doesn’t Nvidia make multiple different chip architectures?
Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Enjoy!

The Federal Open Market Committee is a national, statutorily empowered price-fixing committee for interest rates. Alex Pollock asks where the antitrust enforcers were when that one was set up—and whether anyone can know the right rate.

Trump on 60 minutes:
“Some people want to deport everyone, they are the FAR RIGHT.” 🥴
Well I guess that makes me far right, then: 🤷♀️
-Deport ALL illegal immigrants.
-NO amnesty. No pathways to citizenship for those who broke our laws.
-End H-1B, OPT, and other foreign work visa programs used to replace American workers with cheap labor.

Fox News is already cheerleading amnesty for hotel and lawn care workers.
We’re cooked.

This map of South Carolina is astonishing. An average 22 point shift to Democrats in every county?
This is a deep red state that had a Republican supermajority in its legislature.
I get that people were mad. I'm not surprised we lost both houses of Congress. But we've never seen this in modern politics.
Wild.
I want to make sure that you saw this.
It came out the day of the election so it might have gotten buried. It is extremely important.

The Barbary slave trade happened on a large and systematic scale. They raided the European coasts, and shipping, from the early 16th to the early 19th centuries. Historian Robert C. Davis estimated that 1–1.25 million Europeans were captured and enslaved between roughly 1530 and 1780.
Today they arrive through open borders and rape European women in Europe instead.
Media Blackout: Islam’s Sexual Enslavement of White Women
In 2018, leftists and their media lost their minds after Germany's only conservative political party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), used the following painting in its election campaign to illustrate one of the many reasons it was against immigration (predominately 3rd world Muslims).
Painted in France in 1866 and titled “Slave Market,” the painting was described as “show[ing] a black, apparently Muslim slave trader displaying a naked young woman with much lighter skin to a group of men for examination,” probably in North Africa.
The Alternative for Germany party (AfD) put up several posters of this painting with the slogan, “So that Europe won’t become Eurabia.”
Many on both sides of the Atlantic were “triggered” by this usage; even the American museum where the original painting is housed sent AfD a letter “insisting that they cease and desist in using this painting” (even though it is in the public domain).
Objectively speaking, the “Slave Market” painting in question portrays a reality that has played out countless times over the centuries: African, Asiatic, and Middle Eastern Muslims have long targeted European women—so much so as to have enslaved millions of them over the centuries.
As it happens, there is something else—another medium besides writing—that documents this reality: countless more paintings than the one in question concerning the abduction, trafficking, and sexual enslavement of European women; altogether they further underscore the ubiquity and notoriety of this phenomenon.
Indeed, this was such a well-known theme that many nineteenth and early twentieth century artists and painters specialized in it, often based on their own eye-witness accounts. (As one art gallery puts it, “Many … of the most important painters did travel [to the Muslim world] themselves, and what they painted was based on the sketches they had made while they were there…)
Below are just 20 such paintings (there are many more).
