Trump threatens to turn DOGE on Musk as he warns billionaire will have to ‘close up shop and head back to South Africa’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Donald Trump has threatened to turn the Department of Government Efficiency on his former ‘First Buddy’ Elon Musk.

The president suggested he may use the department Musk once headed to strip away the billionaire’s government subsidies to decimate his business empire, as their feud hit galactic new heights.

Trump issued the threat in response to Musk’s public protest over the ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill,’ in which he pledged to launch his own political party if the bill succeeds. 

‘Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social early Tuesday.

‘It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one.’

He then turned the screws on Musk, suggesting his time benefitting from the U.S. government could be over and that the South African native could be forced to return to his homeland.

‘Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!’

Long-time Trump ally Steve Bannon also ripped Musk for criticizing the president’s signature legislation.

It is possible Musk has been poisoned or transmogrified by energy weapons or destabilized by some other deliberate method. There are many groups who would do that to him.

It’s also possible he was a Trojan time-bomb from the outset.

X has become terrible since his flap with Trump, which happened around the same time X’s algorithms were changed to yield more shallow, cartoonish feeds.

It’s also possible Musk has Promethean fantasies, or Icarian ones and rose so high he had to fall.

Of these possibilities, the two that are more serious are: 1) he has been poisoned or 2) he was himself a plant, a poison pill from the beginning. Both options suggest a clandestine group working nefariously behind the scenes to control Musk through the carrot or the stick.

This is how elites operate. They do this to maintain control, and even want the public to see it and know it. It serves as a warning.

Where does Trump stand in this? No way to be sure but he is still better than any other option I can see. ABN

GE Appliances to move washing machine production from China to Kentucky in $490M investment

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

GE Appliances on Thursday said it would spend $490 million to move the production of most of its washing machines from China to Kentucky.

The operation will move to the company’s massive industrial Appliance Park headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, where it already manufactures washers and dryers. At least 800 new full-time jobs are expected to be created, the company said in a news release. 

The news came as President Donald Trump is attempting to lure companies back to the United States by imposing tariffs. He has slapped additional tariffs on China, as well as other countries. GE Appliances is a subsidiary of the Haier company, which is based in China.

This is the result of tariffs. More of this, more cheap energy, more nuke reactors, more trade, more wealth, more freedom, less war or no war, more freedom of speech, more happiness. ABN

The 14th Amendment was proposed through a collaborative effort involving several key legislators. Representative John A. Bingham of Ohio and Senator Jacob Howard of Michigan were among the primary figures responsible for introducing the amendment’s provisions. Additionally, other representatives and senators such as Henry Deming of Connecticut, Benjamin G. Brown of Missouri, and Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania also played significant roles in shaping the amendment. The amendment was officially submitted to the states for ratification on June 16, 1866, following its passage by the House on May 10, 1866, and by the Senate on June 8, 1866. (Brave AI generated)

Another major point against a wide-open interpretation of the 14th is it serves as a powerful magnet, attracting an enormous amount illegal immigration. This was never its original intent and this possibility was already remarked on by Senator Howard as seen in the quotation above. ABN

Thoughts on the ten-year moratorium on US states regulating AI and Big Tech algorithms

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Generally, with big issues, more voices are better than fewer.

Historically, states’ rights are of preeminent importance in American law and governance.

A ten-year ‘moratorium’ would allow actors at the top to seize some sort of technical or intellectual monopoly that would be very difficult to change once established.

The people who would be in position to do that are a transient group of individuals, unelected, unvetted, mostly unknown to the public.

How could allowing them alone to determine our AI future be better than allowing more voices, more jurisdictions, more transparency, more discussion and more thought?

Based on that line of reasoning, it would be better for our civilization to not do the moratorium. ABN

Supreme Court delivers bombshell ruling on Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that individual judges lack the power to issue nationwide injunctions as it delivered a historic ruling in a case about the right to birthright citizenship.

It was a landmark decision that was seen as a major victory for President Donald Trump in his ongoing battle with the judiciary.

Trump has complained about individual judges in liberal states being able to issue orders against his policies that apply across the country.

The ruling allows Trump’s executive order halting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants to take effect in states and jurisdictions that did not directly challenge his action in court.

It could mean citizenship rules vary from state to state, pending ongoing litigation.

The court ruled 6-3 in favor of Trump, with all six conservative justices – including the three he appointed – siding with the president.

Speaking at the White House, Trump said: ‘This was a big one. Amazing decision, one we’re very happy about. This really brings back the Constitution. This is what it’s all about.’

Supreme Court allows Trump to deport immigrants to ‘third countries’ for now

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Supreme Court on Monday handed a win to the Trump administration by allowing it to resume deporting criminal noncitizens to “third countries,” or places where they did not originate, such as South Sudan, without first giving them a chance to argue that they would face harm if removed.

In a brief, unsigned order, the justices granted the Justice Department’s emergency request to block a lower court ruling that required the government to provide advance notice and an opportunity for deportees to raise claims of persecution or torture related to third countries. The 6–3 ruling did not include an explanation, but the court’s three liberal justices dissented.

The punishment must fit the crime. Likewise, interpretation of the law must fit the situation. 21 million entered the country illegally under the treasonous Harris-Mayorkas regime. Those people need to leave quickly. ABN

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

President Donald Trump ordered a new blitz on Democrat cities which which will see huge numbers of illegal immigrants rounded up for the ‘largest mass deportation in history.’

In the president’s new surge even more ICE agents will flood some of America’s biggest population centers, including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

It represents a massive escalation and comes after days of violent anti-ICE protests nationwide against Trump’s tough immigration policies. 

‘Our Nation’s ICE officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest mass deportation operation of illegal aliens in history,’ Trump wrote on social media.

‘These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens,’ Trump said.

Why Joe Biden’s Doctor Can’t Legally Refuse To Testify About Biden’s Dementia While President

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

If an infantry company commander had concerns about the mental or physical fitness of one of his platoon leaders, he could ask a military doctor to evaluate him and report his findings to the commander. The doctor couldn’t assert a doctor/patient privilege or medical confidentiality rules because the fitness of military officers to perform their duties is vital to the effectiveness of the unit. That’s why there’s no doctor/patient privilege in either federal law or military law.

But what if the one with questionable mental or physical abilities is not a platoon leader but the commander-in-chief? Can the doctor refuse to disclose the president’s medical condition? Are the national security implications of the president’s fitness for duty less important than a platoon leader’s? That’s the question that is headed to a showdown between Dr. Kevin O’Connor, former President Joe Biden’s White House doctor, and Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
