I'm South African. I also want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. To warn you. I come from even further into the future. South Africa used to be a first-world country. We had the best infrastructure and hospitals in the world, and we were developing our own nuclear capability. Today, there is literally shit running in the streets; people in our capital, Johannesburg, haven't had running water for months and more than 40 000 rape cases are reported every year. For most South Africans, there is no such thing as healthcare. You go and stand in a queue for days, then go home. This is what happens when you hand your country to economically illiterate progressive fools with catchy slogans. Don't do it.
I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you. I come from your future. In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream. Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them. The promise was protection. The result is stagnation. The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe. I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has. Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France? Trust me. You don’t want to be France.

8.7 million. In 9 years. Straight up treason.
8.7 million non-immigrant visas were issued to Indian nationals from March 2017 to Feb 2026. A non-immigrant visa is temporary permission to come to America for a limited time- to work, study, or visit - and then return home. 8,704,481 of those visas were issued, according to the State Department. How many do you think actually returned home?

This is why people are sick of the political games in Washington DC. Here you have an opportunity to ban congressional stock trading and require photo ID in our elections-- both things that over 90% of Americans support-- yet Democrats choose not to do it because they don't want to give President Trump a political win before Election Day.
BREAKING: Senate Democrats have just blocked a congressional stock trading ban bill that had a voter ID attachment to it requiring photo ID to vote in federal elections. The "Stop Insider Trading Act", which passed the House with the help of 13 Democrats, just failed a procedural vote along party lines in the Senate by a vote of 53 to 47, with every Senate Democrat voting against it. It needed 60 votes to advance. The legislation would ban members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from purchasing new individual stocks, and would required photo ID to vote in federal elections. This was a way for Republicans to get Democrats on record on voter ID before the mid term elections, something that Sen. Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said yesterday is "supported broadly by the American people." But Democrats accuse Republicans of tanking an otherwise popular, bipartisan topic (congressional stock trading) by attaching voter ID to it, with Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying "All they really want is to score political points before they head home to campaign." Dems also argue the stock bill didn't go far enough, as the President was exempt and it allowed lawmakers to keep and sell their existing stocks.

That’s because American workers are forced to compete with the rest of the world on our own soil.
Everything has quadrupled in price except our labor. Our labor has a fixed price somehow

Businesses are forced to comply with a gazillion regulations crafted by big business lobbyists. We have to put corn in gasoline, for God’s sake. But the minute businesses might be forced to employ Americans, the cries of “FREE MARKETS!” fly into the sky like a horde of locusts
With all due respect, Mr Vice-President @JDVance, businesses must be free to hire and fire as they need, subject to the demands of the rule of law. Absent that freedom, the dynamism and prosperity that creates jobs in the first place will soon disappear.

Would be amazing to see an American living in Mexico City decide he wants to be in The Mexican Government while saying he will always be more American than Mexican. Don't think that person would survive.
REMINDER: Rep. Delia Ramirez proudly declared last year in Spanish, “I am proudly Guatemalan before I am American.” She is a foreign agent acting on behalf of foreign countries as a representative in the United States Congress.

Stop trying to get to zero problems, that place doesn't exist. Instead, work on earning your way into better problems. Problems that are yours, on purpose, in service of something you actually want.
The actual arc of a well-lived life isn’t a march toward “problem-free.” It’s a slow, deliberate migration from imposed problems to selected ones. From “this happened to me” to “ I signed up for this.”

Ask yourself how an illegal immigrant who has no right to be here can be arrested in NYC in June for sexually assaulting a minor and yet somehow end up free to rape another underage girl in Maryland just months later? That a systemic choice that is causing massive daily harm.
BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a rideshare driver arrested in Montgomery County, MD for allegedly kidnapping & raping an underage girl during a ride is an illegal alien from the African country of Guinea who was caught & released at the AZ border by the Biden admin in 2023. He also has a prior rap sheet of sexually assaulting a minor in NYC from earlier this year. DHS says Abdoulaye Dia of Lanham crossed the border illegally into Lukevilke, AZ on December 21, 2023 (one of the days my team and I were there doing live shots showing masses of African men crossing illegally), but was released into the U.S. by Border Patrol. Dia was arrested by NYPD on June 10th for sexual abuse by forcible compulsion, forcible touching – sexual/intimate parts of another person, injure child less than 17, and sexual abuse without consent. He’s now been arrested by police in Maryland for allegedly kidnapping and raping an underage teen girl during an Empower rideshare in which he was the driver. Police say he took her to a parking lot and raped her in his vehicle, and they believe there are more victims.

x is the only platform where you’ll find some ppl publicly demonstrating their ability to think about complex ideas & make them accessible & useful to everyone. every other platform is focused way more on vanity than substance.

to build a cool product now, you really only need two ppl: one dude with exceptional vision & taste who knows what should exist & can provide the right feedback loops for iteration. & one dude who is absolutely relentless about making it real no matter what. that’s it. & sometimes these two are the same.

This really should be one of the biggest stories in the country. California Democrats laundered 15 billion taxpayer dollars over a decade and haven’t built a single train track. Dems got rich while Californians were effectively robbed. People should be jailed over this fraud.
🚨 Welcome to the $15 billion California High Speed Rail to nowhere: Since 2008 California has spent $15 billion and has not connected a single city or laid a single track. It is now projected to cost more than $200 billion to finish despite being proved nearly impossible to complete. In 2008 China also announced a high-speed rail and has now connected the entire country with over 30,000 miles while California has connected 0 miles. Over $500 million has gone to contractors who could not work, homes are currently being built on the alignment, and farmers will lose their farms. In this video I go down the alignment of the high speed rail exposing the failures and confront the legislators in charge of this absolute disaster of a project. A prime example of fraud, waste and abuse of the taxpayer dollar.
