The AI selloff is stupid.
Everyone is panicking because some state governors flipped blue. And those future governors talked tough on data centers. If data center development slows, the semis and memory companies make less money. So naturally, everyone panic sold.
But think about this logically. Do you really think these governors want to reduce jobs, taxes coming in, and investment in their communities? No. The tough talk was to get elected. In reality, they just want data centers to be fair… don’t increase electricity costs, don’t pollute the water, and don’t treat employees like shit. Any good Neocloud is already doing this and will comply with the asks. Any Neocloud or data center company with connected power already has very little risk as well through 2027.
Are democrats going to wipe out AI? Well…
- $NVDA increased 1000% under BIDEN
- The majority of data centers in America are in BLUE STATES
- if they slow AI development, then China will win the race and America will never recover. They have 401ks and their constituents do too, they don’t want to wipe everyone out.
Federally, little will change over the next two years unless 2/3 of the senate passes a bill. Anything less than that requires Trump to sign off and he will veto everything. The actual risk here is a prolonged government shutdown.
But as for AI companies, they are still crushing it and the fundamentals have not changed. Sure, there may be a little more regulation at the state level but the good DC companies like $NBIS $CIFR $APLD $IREN $CRWV $HUT $GLXY $WULF are already complying or will comply. Semis and memory won’t slow down for years.
This will be a blip on the radar and we will look back at November 5th, 2026 as one of the best times to buy cheap stocks during our version of the Industrial Revolution.
Sure, there will be volatility ahead. But I believe the future is bright and the market will come around. It literally only takes one headline for the entire sentiment and market trajectory to change course now.

America Has Spoken. And Trump Has Lost. Again.
Well, there we have it. Donald Trump, a man who has spent his entire life confusing noise with popularity, has once again discovered that shouting louder does not make you a winner.
This election was about him. His chaos. His corruption. His spectacular talent for taking a functioning country and treating it like a demolition project.
He has attacked American institutions, bullied America’s allies, undermined democracy, turned politics into a travelling circus and made the United States look increasingly like a country being governed from the comments section of a particularly unpleasant website.
And Americans have had enough.
They do not stand with Putin’s Russia. They stand with Ukraine. They do not want another disastrous war with Iran. They do not want cruelty, intimidation and masked men terrorising their streets. They do not want their president treating the Constitution like an irritating parking regulation.
They want their country back.
And here is the delicious part. Trump made this election a referendum on himself. His enormous ego demanded it. And the voters delivered their verdict.
You lost, Donald. Again.
Thank you, America. For remembering who you are. For standing up to the bullies. And, most importantly, for finally grabbing the steering wheel before the lunatic drove the entire bloody country into a ditch.

AMD CEO Lisa Su’s dad on raising “Semiconductor Queen” : 2 principles from the Talmud.
Chun Hwai Su (C. H. Su) said his daughter was very bright and often bored in school, so he sought new parenting approaches.
The Talmud: C.H. Su worked as a statistician in the New York City government after arriving in America, and began studying the Jewish religious text because top colleagues were often Jewish.
Lesson 1: “One whose deeds exceed his wisdom, his wisdom will endure.” Real learning means applying knowledge. People see what you do, not what you know.
Lesson 2: Avoid limits and teach kids to outperform themselves: Avoid overprotecting. Encourage kids to surpass their own abilities rather than just competing with others.
Examples:
-Lisa loved taking toys apart and didn’t always know how to put them back together. Instead of scolding her, C.H. bought better toys so she could keep exploring how things worked.
- When she was ahead and bored in class, he encouraged her to help classmates. The shy girl became more outgoing and was elected student council president.
“If Lisa had been educated in Taiwan, in a Taiwanese environment, she wouldn’t be where she is today.” – C. H. Su.

Something is happening to the US that is slow, systematic and deadly. Trump is dismantling our country, and it’s deliberate, calculated and surgical.
1: trump killed NATO partnership, our strongest defense alliance against Russia and China
2: trump’s HHS Secretary is killing our public health infrastructure, creating a more sicker and vulnerable America with communicative diseases
3: over at the pentagon trump’s frat boy Petey is firing our most qualified generals, depleting our best military hardware rapidly, in a stupid war to make our military a third world level armed forces
4: trump’s DOGE deliberately hollowed out our government from essential experts, to zap its functioning capabilities
5: trump killed USAID, and we lost our goodwill around the world and became isolated pariah
6: trump ICE became his brown shirts, killing and abusing Americans to obey
7: trump’s weirdo FBI director is charging everyone and anyone to silence Americans
8: trump DOJ is robbing the treasury to the tune of $1.8 billion dollars, to create an army of bribed foot soldiers to protect their dismantling of the country during midterm elections
9: trump’s interior secretary is dismantling our national parks
10: trump’s economic team of Bassett and lutnick is crashing the economy, creating a population of economically disadvantaged
11: trump’s Epstein files are now officially been shelved to protect trump the destroyer
12: trump let his oligarch enabler Peter Thiel to confiscate all our private data, including social security, tax, health and court and business records
13: finally and most importantly, trump and his family and his oligarch enablers are looting our treasury, and stuffing our tax dollars into their pockets.
Now tell me, you don’t think trump is a foreign agent, disguised as the president of the U.S, installed to destroy the US? Could it be that fuck Putin, specially after lifting all sanctions against Russia? Or, the other fuck Elon, the asshole AIPAC Netanyahu, the anti Christ fuck Theil owning trump’s ass? Trump is no longer doing the duties of the president, but having out loud fantasies about men in his circus rallies, shit posting all day, all night, and golfing in the weekend. Drag this enemy of America out of the White House. That foreign escort “Epstien hooker” Melania too.

For 32 years, American workers had a simple deal: work harder, get paid more. From 1947 to 1979, productivity rose 119% and compensation rose 100%. Then the deal broke, from 1979 to 2009, productivity climbed another 80%, but compensation grew just 8% and wages only 7%. Same workers, more output, almost no raise.
So where did the gains go? To the people who owned the machines, the capital, the equity, not the people running them. I spent 25 years in enterprise, including at Google, and watched this play out in real time. Every efficiency gain, every new system, the value flowed up to shareholders.
Now AI is arriving, the biggest productivity leap since electricity, maybe bigger. If an 80% productivity gain gave workers just 8%, what happens when AI doubles output again? The lesson is brutal but simple. Productivity doesn't make you rich, ownership does. Your salary is tied to your time, capital is tied to growth.
So don't just use AI to work faster, use it to own something: a stake, a product, a portfolio, a piece of the upside. The gap on this chart won't close by itself, it will widen. Pick your side.

Trump blamed Zelenskyy for the rise in diesel prices. In reality, Russian diesel accounts for less than 10% of the market, and the blame for the price hike lies with Trump’s senseless war in Iran.
However, another aspect is more interesting: Trump is not calling on Putin to end the war; instead, he is effectively pressuring Ukraine to surrender.
To be absolutely clear: the president of the country that signed the Budapest Memorandum—and effectively stripped Ukraine of its nuclear weapons—is now accusing Ukraine of daring not to surrender to the aggressor.

For the umpteenth time: Quit trying to analyze Trump. Quit trying to figure out why he says and does the things he says and does. I’m so fucking sick of listening to some panel on CNN try to discuss his latest bizarre pronouncement like he’s some normal human being. Stop that. This isn’t complicated- He’s not a normal human being. He’s a sociopath. He lies as he breathes. He’s an idiot. He’s a Russian asset. He gets off on being cruel. He’s never been held accountable for anything he’s done his entire life. He’s a horrible person. And he’s the biggest fucking crybaby who’s ever lived. That’s it.

We live in a country where an alcoholic runs our military, a former heroin addict is in charge of our health and they both report to a convicted felon & adjudicated rapist. And Christians support them all. What a time to be alive 🤪

Nailed it!
Bottom line on Trumpy: "Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle."
When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation.
The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional.
He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion.
Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room.
What looked like confidence was arrogance.
What looked like strength was insecurity.
What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion.
Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.
In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater.
-A gaudy performance.
-A caricature masquerading as leadership.
-A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to.
And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance...

Our debt is now up to $40 trillion. Trump said he would eliminate the debt in 8 years. Instead, he added $11.6 TRILLION across 2 terms, and will add another projected 4.7 TRILLION from his signature Big Ugly Bill. He is responsible for an astounding 29% of today’s total debt. 🤬

#Trump 对美国最深的 #伤害，可能不是某一次加关税、一次外交冲突，甚至不是某一届政府造成多少经济损失，而是他正在毒害美国长期积累、最难复制的那部分国家资本：制度信用、法治、公平竞争、科研自由、全球人才、盟友信任，以及“成功主要靠创新，而不是靠接近权力”的社会预期。
一个国家真正开始 #衰落，并不是火箭突然不会飞了，AI突然不会训练了，而是越来越多聪明人发现：研究技术的回报，不如研究总统喜欢谁；改善产品的回报，不如获得政治关系；市场竞争的回报，不如权钱交换；独立大学、媒体、司法和公务员，不再被视为国家的纠错系统，反而被当成需要服从政治权力的障碍。
更危险的是 #Trump家族 自身商业利益与总统权力之间长期存在的 #利益冲突争议。当一个总统及其家族可以一边拥有巨大的私人商业利益，一边掌握关税、监管、外交、政府采购和行政权力时，真正被破坏的不只是某一笔钱，而是整个市场的价格信号和信用信号：企业开始计算的可能不再只是“怎样做得更好”，而是“怎样离权力更近”。
这对AI、航天尤其危险。
美国真正的优势从来不只是 #SpaceX、#几家AI巨头 或者 #几枚火箭，而是几百所大学、成千上万家公司、全球人才、风险资本、基础研究、盟友网络以及一个允许失败者重新挑战赢家的开放生态。
如果最后变成：
超级总统 + 超级富豪 + 超级公司 + 政府合同 + 政治忠诚 + 关键基础设施
那么短期数字甚至可能非常漂亮：火箭发射更多、AI投资更大、股价更高、军工合同更多。
但整个国家实际上可能变得越来越脆弱。
因为：
集中 ≠ 强大。
垄断 ≠ 效率。
财富 ≠ 智慧。
商业成功 ≠ 政治合法性。
忠于总统 ≠ 忠于美国。
Trump主义最危险的遗产，可能就是把美国原本依赖 #制度竞争 和 #不断纠错 产生的力量，逐渐改造成依赖个人、财富、忠诚和权力关系的体系。
#这种毒害 不会在四年以后自动消失。
火箭炸了，可以再造。
公司倒了，可以重建。
总统下台，可以再选。
但是一个社会如果开始相信 #权力比规则重要、关系比竞争重要、#忠诚比事实重要、赢家天然有资格 #统治别人，恢复这种 #制度信用 可能需要一代人的时间。
所以 #Trump时代 真正 #值得美国警惕的，不只是：
Trump做错了什么？
而是：
Trump正在教美国下一代 #怎样理解成功、权力、财富、#法律 和 #民主？
如果这个答案发生了改变，那才可能是 #Trump家族 留给美国 #最昂贵、#最持久 的 #债务。

What Ukraine did with 33 years of independence: two revolutions against stolen elections, a comedian elected in a landslide and then held to account by his own press, an army rebuilt from garage donations to Europe's most capable.
What Russia did with the same 33 years: one president, four wars, two constitutional resets, and a state where every institution is now a synonym for one man's fear.
Same starting line, 1991. Same inheritance of Soviet wreckage.
The difference isn't culture or geography. It's that one country belongs to its citizens and the other belongs to its ruler. That's the entire war, explained.

APPLEBAUM: I live in Poland. I've lived here on and off for 30 years. I was here during period of NATO expansion.
I can tell you that NATO expanded because countries in this part of Europe felt physically threatened by Russia.
They asked to be part of NATO, they even had to beg and plead to be let in. Initially, United States was very reluctant.
NATO expansion was done all the way through with Russian participation and acknowledgment.
Initially, there was even a NATO-Russia partnership that was created.
There were constant attempts to show Russia that it was a defensive alliance and not an offensive one.
At one point, there were almost no American tanks left in Europe. There was no arming of countries in Eastern Europe, and that happened only after 2014.
So a lot of effort was made to create NATO as a security zone, as a zone of peace, and not focus it on some kind of attack on Russia.
For quite a long time, Putin accepted this. There have been recent releases of documents from '90s in which he doesn't talk about NATO, or complaining about NATO expansion.
That was a later argument he began to make down the road when he needed a casus belli, explanation for why he was invading Ukraine.
So, Russia successfully sold a very false story about the war being somehow provoked by NATO.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe Democrats were capable of stealing the 2020 election while out of power, but somehow incapable of doing the same in 2024 while in power. That is a categorically, phenomenally dumb thing to believe.

In the 21st century, good nationalists must also be globalists. Globalism doesn’t mean establishing a global government, abandoning all national traditions, or opening the border to unlimited immigration. Rather, globalism means a commitment to some global rules. Rules that don’t deny the uniqueness of each nation, but only regulate the relations between nations.
A good model for this is the Football World Cup. The World Cup is a competition between nations, where people often show fierce loyalty to their national team. But the World Cup is also an amazing display of global harmony. Brazil can't play football against Morocco unless the Brazilians and the Moroccans agree on the same rules for the game. And that’s global cooperation in action. If you like the World Cup, you're already a globalist.
Hopefully, nations can agree on global rules not just for football, but also for how to prevent ecological collapse, how to regulate dangerous technologies, and how to reduce global inequality. Global problems require global solutions.
