Honored to sing America’s National Anthem at Soldier Field for the @NFL @NFLonPrime & Veteran’s Day 2023! Thank you @ChicagoBears!! #VeteransDay #Veterans 🎤🇺🇸🐻🏈🫡 – at Lancut, Poland

Ai & Tech/Mil & Govt: We’re about to let the genie out of the bottle. I’ve seen firsthand what super intelligent tech systems can do in modern warfare in Ukraine. It changed the way wars are fought 180 degrees. Soon, this level of tech will be ubiquitous & the US Government & military is NOT making us ready for this fight fast enough. The EU & NATO powers are treating this as business as usual in an age of exponential change. Autonomous drones built for a fraction of the cost it takes to shoot them down? The war on terror has just begun my friends. It’s 2026. In 2030-35 the wars American soldiers need to be prepared for is gonna cost trillions of dollars & the best knowledge base available on earth is in the mind of the Ukrainian soldier currently engaged in an active drone war. Your son or daughter who joins the United States military in the next decade will have to train to fight this new battle & the people in charge at the Pentagon, WH, & on Capitol Hill are playing like we still run the post-WWII world. We do not. There are powerful forces with $20T of economic power & 3+ billion people forcing the hand of the free world. Meanwhile, the powers of the free world are hoarding, involved in self-interest, & are preparing to lose the next war. We aren’t moving fast enough. We must end this war on Ukrainian terms next year. We must hit pause on these battlefield advancements to allow society & governments of the free world catch up in our preparations. We cannot allow our enemies to learn faster than us because they are involved in active war & we are not. The threat to your enlisted family member in the next war will be a bomber drone in a trench somewhere on earth being hunted by an enemy with 24/7 aerial surveillance capabilities. America is nowhere near knowing how to help our children survive such a battle. The fact we are not demanding the US military pay the Ukrainian military to train our soldiers immediately is the fatal mistake of this generation of parents & citizens. Soon, superhuman technology will control the drone army of our enemies. That genie about to escape the bottle. Are you certain your son will survive after 3 weeks of drone warfare training taught from a manual written by someone who heard it 2nd hand? Trump must offer the deal of the century for American soldiers & sign a $20b/yr defense training contract to allow the Ukrainians to formally train the current Active, Guard, & Reserve forces of the US Military.

What if we started to think differently about the world we live in? Instead of investing our time & energy in fear of technology & despair about the current state of the world- what if we all awakened to the inevitability of tech advances & started to use the opportunity of our time to most effectively & efficiently leverage the tech tools at our fingertips? 117 billion humans have lived before us, & every one of them would be in awe at the abilities we have taken for granted. We live in a period of human history that allows for universal connectivity, instantaneous access to the whole of human knowledge, global travel, & tools that make us superhuman compared to 100 years ago. In the infancy of the technological age, it is unsurprising that we have not yet figured out how to utilize the tools to maximum effect. Every new tool humans have deployed have come with a learning curve. The first spear was probably not thrown with great accuracy. The first firearm was not as accurate as a sniper’s rifle of today. Both the tool & the user goes through a learning curve. We must begin a rapid intentional advancement along this curve. Right now the tech owns us- it hijacks our brain stem. We must spread tech best practices we teach in schools, at dinner tables, amongst families. The 📱 in our hands holds the power to unleash great collaboration, or unthinkable division. Dispose for a moment the fears & worries of greater society. Focus instead on the individual boost of abilities every smartphone user has in today’s world. Fear of tech produces no real beneficial end product at the average citizen level. But embracing tech & leaning into the possibilities that it brings during this unique time in history- that paradigm shift can bring about great advances in the amount of good done in the world. We live in an age where language is no longer a barrier to human connection. Distance is unable to prohibit direct communication with other humans on the other side of the planet. Funds can be moved globally with ease. Products can be sent anywhere & received within days. This is a marvelous era of human capability which grants all with access to the Internet an enviable ability. Cat videos do not do anything to advance human progress. Spending your time leveraging tech to build something new the world needs is the charge of our time.

Look at what happened at the NATO Summit again. World governments doing just enough to prolong the war in Ukraine, not getting even close to doing enough to punch tyranny(🇷🇺) in the face. They say they want Ukraine to win, while allowing russian ballistic missiles to rain down on Ukraine & indiscriminately kill the very people protecting Europe from a similar fate.

Inept world government leaders at the NATO Summit again failed to fully respond to the aggressor who wishes to crush the free world. Gradualists are in power. Where are the Churchill’s of the world? All I see are Neville Chamberlains. 🤬

Seeking a few hundred dollars to help with vehicle repair for our foreign legion units for a medical evac truck. I’ll send you proof of receipt. Long live Ukraine! 🇺🇦

The internet we have built is perfectly suited to gather like minded people. Use the tools available to us created by tech giants to rally people who think like you. Instead of spending our time arguing with people who disagree, invest that time & energy into finding allies online.

Want to succeed the world? Create an unshakable vision for the good you want to do in the world. Make progress everyday - progress can be advancing a thought, sharing your vision with others, speaking it into existence. You can begin this process today. Greatness is inside you!

It’s a popular thing to say these days that kids don’t go outside anymore & we used to live lives with our imagination. We claim that yesteryear offered kids a better upbringing but I probably played Nintendo in the 80s more hours per day than you allow your kid on their phones. If I recall, parents were glued to the 📺 back then just as much as kids watch screens today. How else would an entire generation know Cheers, Who shot JR?, Seinfeld, & Friends? The problem is not that all kids these days do is look at their phones. Look around, EVERYONE is looking at their phones, even when someone else is in the room with us. Kids I know are outside riding their electric bikes, their hoverboards, playing sports, recording ridiculous videos. They’re outside as much as I was as a kid. The thing we’ve neglected to do so far is spend time teaching our young people what a marvelous new technology that has been developed during our lifetimes. The mistake we’ve made is to fail to properly address the wondrous nature of these technological tools in a way that creates an appreciation for its power. Any power can be used for good or evil. Instead of spending all our time talking about the evils of technology, adults would do well to teach our youth that technology is an inevitable unremovable part of life nowadays. Spend time teaching them how incredible life as a free citizen is now that you have unlimited access to all the knowledge in the history of the world at the click of your thumbs. Encourage going down rabbit holes. Talk about the crazy stuff they learned while inside their chosen rabbit hole during a meal. Education of our young people must be reimagined in an age of technology. School systems built in the industrial age will one day be rebuilt in the technological age- why not start now? Give young people the freedom to learn the necessary baseline of core subjects like history, math, science, & the arts. At each age, require they have the basics expected at their age in the core curriculum- but allow 50% or more of their time at school in elective courses- rabbit holes if you will. This is an era of instantaneous unlimited access to absolutely any topic you choose - in such a time, we must allow for the individual to choose the path they get most excited about & teach them life lessons about success, discipline, resilience, achievement, & overcoming challenges as they run fast down the rabbit hole they chose for themselves. School days of the future will no longer look like they do today. Smart, competitive societies will learn to adjust the old models to allow the youth of their nation to follow passions & interests with energy & excitement that only accompanies that which you enjoy. Basic foundational knowledge will have its place across the whole of school aged children, but more time will be invested in allowing the individual student the opportunity to use the marvelous technologies created to shape their future path rooted in things they find interesting. What will accompany this revolutionary change is a district wide funding of extra curricular activities funded by the adults in the community who have real world expertise in the rabbit hole the student chose. Everyone participates in an organization or after school program with at least one other student & works toward a common goal. We teach cooperation, communication, goal setting, adaptation, & perseverance in these organizations. The only way to teach how to work with people & get things done together is to work with people & learn how to get things done. Finally, did you know that China to some degree already does what I’m talking about in some schools? They allow students electives based on interests. I’m proposing to take it a step further. Unleash the creative energy of young people on whatever path they choose. Encourage rabbit holes. Guide them with life lessons as they run fast toward the life they wish to create for themselves.

Imagine being an isolationist or pacifist in 1940s America knowing what we know now about the horrific nature of the nazis. History is repeating itself in Europe during this generation. pootin 💩 & his army of tyranny does not adhere to the rules of war, they do not follow Geneva conventions. In the 2020s, they rape, murder, kill children & families in their homes, & decimate every square mile they seek to conquer. Be on the right side of history. Support Ukraine with your talents & treasure. It is easy to do so in the 📱 age.

Whenever I feel down or depressed about the state of the world, I redouble my efforts to serve others. When you place yourself in a spirit of service, your own problems melt away. Pick a cause you believe in & prioritize your time this week to do something good in the world. 🌎❤️

The upcoming elections will be sold to you as the most important of our lifetimes. As every election in my lifetime has been sold in the exact same way. They will say, “but this time it is really true.” False. The United States of America will continue to exist well beyond 2026 & for generations. Our foundation is strong. We must be vigilant in an era of government overreach, but in the end, freedom & liberty will prevail. Anti-Trump sentiment will flood your airwaves, democrats will be presented as the answer. They are not. The top party officials are cheating lying bastards just as republicans are. Neither party has the best interests of citizens in mind. We must understand that chief among the priorities of party is the preservation & reclamation of power. Democrats are not the answer. I have proof from my run for Congress that they are as immoral & corrupt as the other party. A complete overhaul of political thinking in America is necessary. A new generation of founding citizens must embark on an effort to provide different & better solutions in the experiment of self-governance. Let the idea take hold that a new thing is possible. As an individual American citizen we feel as though the system is too large & powerful to change or defeat on our own. True. But together, united as we ought to be, we have the power to change the system for the better. The will of free people is the most powerful force on earth. We must do work to summon that collective will. How does it happen? We gather in town halls & zoom rooms & start discussing the possible solutions, a new platform upon which to build something better in our politics. Inevitably our ideas will take the form of a political party, if for no other reason than the spirit of party is the only thing that will lead to the unity we seek. It will not be a 3rd party. It will be a new approach to establishing a government. We must work to find a narrative & viable plan that abandons right vs left, conservative vs liberal, republican vs democrat. We must champion a new paradigm with the goal of unity & brave reforms. You can go on thinking that any movement of thought other than r & d is a spoiler. If you do, then all new ideas for America will forever be relegated to folly. Don’t settle for the solutions either party is offering. Join a movement of new political thought. Renewing the American mind is the only thing that will get us out of this doom loop we’ve been in. We will build America 2.0🇺🇸

When was the last time you watched Bezmenov’s interview on the demoralization of America & the topic of ideological subversion. It will help you make sense of what is happening in America right now: youtu.be/Z1EA2ohrt5Q?is=RSlf…

250 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed these times we are living in do not guarantee freedom for all who seek it. Right now the tree of liberty is being refreshed with the blood of patriots (🇺🇦) & tyrants (🇷🇺). Jefferson & Curran believed the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Vigilance then, shall be our goal as living free citizens of the United States of America. The free world shrinks on our generation’s watch while America is preoccupied with the nonsense welcomed by the ruling order. Trivial, meaningless arguments consume our days, we express frustrations with one another rooted in a belief that ours is the only struggle that matters. Living Americans do not yet know the meaning of real difficulty. Some on earth wage war in the drone killing fields of Ukraine, their freedom being hunted by the powers of despotism. It is a generations old trick of the powers who wish to control you- to consume a society with fear, demoralization, and ideological subversion. Americans must begin the process of being transformed by the renewing of the mind. We must learn new ways to think about politics, freedom, liberty, & tyranny. The perfect example exists today on earth- one that will teach a new generation of the meaning of liberty & the struggle for freedom. It is Ukraine vs russia. Teach the lessons of good vs evil to your children. Show them how some forms of government wish to exert excessive control over their people as they do in russia. Then, come to Ukraine & see with your own eyes that freedom rings here & all Americans have a responsibility to support causes of freedom because it has been written into the very framework of who we are. Freedom is America’s brand, it is our essence. We must defend it everywhere. We must defend it in Ukraine. 🇺🇦

I propose the American people privately sponsor the $2-3b shortfall the Ukrainian mid & long range strike program is experiencing now. You’ve seen the strikes on Wildberries. If the American people mounted an effort to fully fund these programs with a war bond type effort, we can bring the russian economy to its knees. We cannot wait for inept governments to act. The American people can exercise the freedom available to us & make this happen for the cause of freedom on earth. The solution is fully fund the Ukrainian war machine with private dollars. I & my fellow humanitarian volunteers have helped move billions of dollars of supplies to Ukraine the past 4.5 years. This is what we must do next.

I’ve been living & volunteering in Ukraine for 4.5 years. As an American citizen, I can report to you that this is the eastern edge of the free world. Should Americans be concerned with what is happening in Ukraine? Why should we? We have plenty of problems at home, why should we be bothered to care one minute about Ukraine? The case I bring to you is one of common values, a set of principles we all believe in, a story of history, shared appreciation for freedom & the willingness to fight for it. As an American, I believe great thinkers like Thomas Paine saw the world & the state of humanity correctly. He said, “The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.” 250 years later that same American cause is being fought for on the drone swarmed battlefields of Ukraine. If you are a living American who appreciates the blessings of Freedom - I ask you to join me in using the freedom available to us to benefit others in an active fight for theirs. You’re the American patriots in the towns & cities charged with outfitting our allied Army of Freedom. You don’t have to drag cannons through mud to Bunker Hill- you can search out your local Ukraine volunteer, of which there are 3-400 per state in the U.S. We run convoys out to the frontlines. Been doing it 4.5 years. There are tens of thousands of underfunded mini-supply lines that are well-established & proven & we run non-lethal supplies out to the frontlines in Ukraine. You can trust us. I, as an American veteran who understands the good guys from the bad, have partnered with the communities of Fargo, West Fargo, Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, Moorhead, Ortonville- communities all over America have reached into their pockets & handed me the cash in their billfolds to go do good in Ukraine with the resource. I’ve been a part of $1 to 7 figure donations to Ukraine since February of 2022. We know what this Army needs to win. We, the corps of western world volunteers has relationships up & down Ukrainian government, military, & society. We’re underfunded by an estimated $20b a year. The overall Ukrainian war machine is underfunded by about $60-100b a year. If you want Ukraine to win this war, then we need to get their domestic defense industrial base at full capacity. Right now they’re operating at about 25-33%. Crank that up with a WWII war bonds everyone doing their part effort for freedom on earth & we can push the russian horde back to where they came from. It is the responsibility of free people of the world, starting with American citizens who are longing for a cause to believe in, a uniting Great National Project that we all involve ourselves in for the good of the free world. We have done it before, 80+ years ago our grandparents contributed over $180b to war bonds to support the cause of freedom during their generation. When they were called upon, the Greatest American Generation stepped up. This U.S. military veteran on Ukrainian soil is announcing to the people of America: The war for our shared principles is not yet won. The most capable army in the free world 🇺🇦cannot wait for inept governments to act any longer. A citizen led, volunteer, private effort is being mounted to get the 160m+ of the pro-Ukraine American population to say with one voice: The cause of Ukraine is the cause of all mankind. The charge to us all has been stated. The cause of a lifetime is calling. We must get to work as a society to figure out how to fully fund the Ukrainian war machine. The goal is $100b/yr to push ‘em back. I have a plan. I am ready to command the mission. I am the right spokesperson for the cause of Freedom in Ukraine. Tell your friends you know this guy who has been in Ukraine for 4.5 years & he has a master plan to win the war for Ukraine. Step one: Fully engage the will of the American people. It is the most powerful thing on earth.

How to act in an age of superhuman technology: - Do not be afraid of ai & technology. We control the tech now & soon we will cross a threshold where we do not fully control our creations. While we still can, let us make it our aim to program universal American values into these machines. Let them know there are inalienable rights we have discovered & teach our technology these values as well. Let that be the technological redline we program into these ai machines. It is inevitable this tech will evolve far past our current state. INEVITABLE. So act as though that is true. How best do we act? We teach ai our American values of freedom, rights of man, liberty, justice, inalienable rights like life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness. America has proven that for 250 years these values stand the test of time. We as a nation are proof our ai worries can be assuaged. We have proven that if you program a certain set of values, society can continue uninterrupted for centuries. Let us program the same American values into ai machines so long after its birth parents were dead & gone the unborn millions continue to benefit from a free world.

How to act in an age of superhuman technology: - On your 📱 you have a trillion dollars or more of research by the smartest people in the 🌎 We get to live in a time where previous generations of humanity would kill to experience even once. All of human knowledge is in your pocket. Do not waste this time. Use this knowledge & access to information to make your mark in the world. Do good with these once in a species opportunities to connect around the globe.

How to act in an age of superhuman technology: - Recognize that on your 📱 at your fingertips you are among the living human population who gets to command such superhuman power. Do not take our powers for granted. We can build a much more intelligent society if we understand how to best use this tech to achieve common goals.

How to act in an age of superhuman technology: - Let us recognize that during this early age of superhuman technologies, there are lessons we must learn to be among those of the human race who get to fully enjoy a world where maximum leverage of technological tools is realized.

What if we just decided to do it because we knew it had to be done? We’re smart enough to, we have the tools at our fingertips. It is time to use the freedom available to us to make the world a better place. A civic renewal. An effort to teach valuable lessons in civic engagement. How does such a thing begin, you say? By people talking about it when there’s time to talk. What do you mention when you talk to your friends? What if what we started talking about were solutions to the biggest problems facing the world? We must end the era of marveling at the state of the world & enter an age of doing something about the problems we see by cooperating with our fellow American to work on solving the problem. That’s what Great Americans Generations of the past did- they saw a problem & created the American Legion, Kiwanis, Lions, Rotary. In Chicago & Detroit 100+ years ago our great grandparents & their families started these great institutions. We must usher in a great beginning of organizational problem solving. Let us start with the big problems. The problems facing America & humanity are not unsolvable. But the societal & self-governance problems are of particular difficulty as of late because we stopped talking & listening to all Americans at once & we have begun an era of selective consumption. Let us start with a big one: How to act in an age of superhuman technology.
