California Burns As Biden Ships More Money To...Ukraine!

President-elect Trump caused many Americans to wince and scratch their heads this week. Trump succeeded in getting so many Americans to go out and overwhelmingly vote for “America First” and to focus on handling our country’s overwhelming problems. But over the last week, ideas that were not presented during the campaign have been floated: “North America” First and the additions of Canada and Greenland to the United States. Where did this come from?

The utter incompetence of the political class is on display as Los Angeles and California leadership watch the area burn to the ground. And the fire hydrants have no water in them. But...there's still money for Ukraine! Also today, Trump gets it right on the Russia/Ukraine war.

The narrative has empowered the state to jail scores of Americans without charge, to crack down on speech, and to demonize Americans who do not step in line. But what if it's all fake? Also today: foreign money drives DC policy through think tanks.

As the emotions of last year’s election fade away, homeostasis is kicking in. The pull of the status quo gets stronger with each passing day. The results of the election were crystal clear. American voters want “America First.” But American voters are in perpetual competition with donors that want “American Empire First” and “American Megastate First." The two are not the same. They are mutually exclusive. It must be one or the other.
