Trump Addresses The Evil Anti-Human Globalist Oligarchs of Davos (By Video)
I'm so proud of my president for taking a strong stand against needless carbon dioxide emissions. All of the Davoisie, who claim to be so concerned about global warming, unleash a thousand Climate Hiroshimas into the air to jet to Switzerland so they can be away from their spouses and have sex with prostitutes and gay waiters/actors.
Niall Ferguson reports from the Orgy of the Oligarchs, and says that privately, the Davoisie crowd is bullish on Trump and America. But, he warns: Davos Man is always wrong.Well Davos Man can't always be wrong. Can he?
This year, everyone here is bullish on MAGA. That's your cue to take the other side of the trade. By Niall Ferguson
DAVOS, Switzerland -- Eight years ago, Davos Man mocked Donald Trump. Five years ago, he despised Trump. But in 2025, the mood at the World Economic Forum has completely changed. The great American vibe shift has made it to Davos, and the European business elite badly wants a piece of it. Two days of trudging up and down the Promenade--the main drag of the Swiss ski resort town where the WEF is held each year--were enough to convince me of that. True, the WEF propaganda remains fixated on Environmental, Social, and Governance issues, and, of course, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion--the familiar, woke-globalist acronyms ESG and DEI, now supplemented with AI. The corporate billboards still burble their word salads about resilience and sustainability. But talk to the chief executives and a very different picture emerges. True, the WEF propaganda remains fixated on Environmental, Social, and Governance issues, and, of course, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion--the familiar, woke-globalist acronyms ESG and DEI, now supplemented with AI. The corporate billboards still burble their word salads about resilience and sustainability. But talk to the chief executives and a very different picture emerges. Almost everyone at Davos is long U.S., short EU. The trouble is that the Davos consensus is nearly always wrong. I still remember the way it was five years ago. It was clear to me--and I told everyone who would listen--that a global pandemic was underway. But what was the dominant topic on the agenda of the World Economic Forum? That's right: climate change and how morally superior Greta Thunberg was to wicked Donald Trump. So, if Davos Man is, despite his qualms, long America and short Europe, that might be your cue to take the other side of the trade.

President Trump reaffirmed his mission to Davos: eliminating woke policies in America.
This included his recent order for the government to officially recognize only two genders, male and female.… pic.twitter.com/ktvGfWlZqm

But state-level Republican organizations are intentionally tanking ballot initiatives with badly written proposals that are confusing at best and vast overreach on the other hand, which is the fault of Trump for overturning Roe v Wade which BaseballCuck's ilk insisted for decades was the centerpiece of conservatism in America (besides the endless foreign wars and corporate tax cuts, of course).

Taiwan and Ukraine are very different in their strategic value to the United States. Taiwan means South Korea and Japan, the Phillippines, and, eventually, Indonesia. Essentially, the entire Eastern Asia sector of the globe.
So, no. China does not get Taiwan unless the Taiwanese, the South Koreans, and the Japanese concur with the US.

They kind of have to. 20 years ago, the average GDP in the EU was roughly the same as in the US. Now, the US is 50% higher, and the EU is completely stagnant. The Euros better wake up soon, or they'll be completely irrelevant to the world economy.

If you could filibuster cabinet appointments, why would any (Republican) nominee ever get fewer than 60 yes votes for confirmation? In fact, how would any (Republican) nominee ever get confirmed?

I think I was wrong. Looking it up, a resource I found says that cloture is only 50 votes now.

At this rate, it should come to a head around the midterms. Which is good for us. Let the leftwing shitmongers all line up screaming to allow filthy illegals to drop anchor babies. It's a very unpopular issue for them, and IIRC the USA is alone among developed nations that allows it. I doubt the courts will have the stomach to rule the way they should rule -- no birthright citizenship -- but at least the political fight will benefit us.

"And I must admit that, in a way, I understand it. A president from a country that, as a result of systematic economic failure for more than 100 years, as a result of having the country taken weak stances in major global conflicts, and as a result of us having closed ourselves off to trade, we had lost practically all international significance over the years."

Harry Reid changed the old cloture rules on nominees for executive and judicial nominations through the nuclear option (aka appeal to the chair's ruling that cloture had not been reached (was over three DC Circuit Court of Appeals nominations I think). Majority supported Reid as the Senate had not yet gone Republican in 2014 and thus the new rule was born regarding nominees. Does not apply to most regular legislation and reconciliation of the budget bills (2 per Congress) also have the majority cloture vote rule. But the provisions in that budget bill must be germane to have an effect on the budget.

The constitutional precedent is that you need a majority of votes to change Senate rules (whatever the actual Senate rules say) but that is what you need for a nomination. I just checked though for fun, Senate still does not allow proxy voting--you have to wheel out the invalids and mentally non-compos like Feinstein to vote in person.

Look at the 2023 grand offensive in Ukraine, all done planned by NATO with equipment to match. Announced 6 months early so Russia had time to entrench the entire front and mine the area.

There's no indication yet than any of these nominees are going down in flames.
Hegseth has gotten the largest brunt of the effort, including an attempt to Kavanaugh him (which didn't even work on Kavanaugh, remember), and he's going to get through.
Any effort at resistance after this should see less and less support. Hegseth was the front loaded target.
The only one after this that should see some similar level of resistance is RFK, but I doubt he fails either.
Get the cabinet in and then recess. Let Trump recess appoint political appointees below the cabinet.

There is some weird contingency in government laws that permit a president to move a nominated and confirmed appointee from one position to another or even hold two positions at a time on an acting basis. Grenell was one such in Trump's first administration. If you care to look through the executive orders on day 1, Trump has a list of permanent employees of an agency to run it that he picked to carry on day to day operations until nominees are confirmed. That is also part of the contingency in government actions.
The old way was simply to recess and allow a recess appointment but the Senate under McConnell simply refused to recess starting in 2014 and continued that throughout Trump's presidency to prevent recess appointments.

He asserting the USA is going have sole control over the Western Hemisphere and kicking China out of Panama, ripping away Greenland away from Denmark, and reducing Canada to being a colony goes far in ensuring the USA will have sufficient natural resources for decades to come, manufacturing to sustain the economy, and is in control of critical land/infrastructure. South America nations should be thinking hard who they are going to align with.
Trump's Davos speech threw down that the post world war II order is defunct and that he is moving to put the EU in an extractive economic position going forward. All this will keep the Chicoms up at night for the few years.

There's no indication yet than any of these nominees are going down in flames.
Hegseth has gotten the largest brunt of the effort, including an attempt to Kavanaugh him (which didn't even work on Kavanaugh, remember), and he's going to get through.
Any effort at resistance after this should see less and less support. Hegseth was the front loaded target.
The only one after this that should see some similar level of resistance is RFK, but I doubt he fails either.

Even assuming he's wrong, and that it happens a lot later, he makes very important points:
"[If] we make good enough AI systems, they'll enable us to make better robots. And so when that happens, we will need to have a conversation... at places like this event, about how do we organize our economy, right? How do humans find meaning?"
"We've recognized that we've reached the point as a technological civilization where the idea, there's huge abundance and huge economic value, but the idea that the way to distribute that value is for humans to produce economic labor, and this is where they feel their sense of self worth," he added. "Once that idea gets invalidated, we're all going to have to sit down and figure it out."
As someone points out in the comments, perhaps that conversation should occur BEFORE we reach AI surpasses humans.

Labor got 20 percent of the vote last election and is terrified of any revote because Starmer is less popular by far now. Putin could probably win a MP special election. He's cancelling local elections set for May because he knows he will lose. He's getting hit hard for the cover up of rape gangs, which he was involved in.

Technically, the King could call for another general election. He never will. The monarchy exists now only because it is perceived as being above politics. The crown will never risk its existence by doing something like that.
In reality, the only person with the power to call for another general election is Starmer.
And Starmer has no incentive of calling another election. He's got full majority control, and it's not even close. It's not like he's running a coalition. His party is 100% in control.

Some speculation that the virus leaked from UGA's USDA poultry virus research facility (Athens GA, I think). Apparently the cases are clustered about 30 miles from it. And yes, that facility was reportedly engaging in gain of function viral research for poultry vaccination development.

It is getting worse by the moment on the fiscal state of the UK. Budget, even after a massive tax increase, is still about 30 billion pounds short. Financing costs are going through the roof for the British debt as well.
I halfway think Sunak (a former chancellor) knew that there was a fiscal crash coming and purposefully threw the election. Probably did not expect that the Conservative party would come close to being second to Reform on the Right.

On of my various weird hobbies is to read comments on the wonky UK DM. Brits are wailing that they want someone like Trump, too. So are other nations. We are so blessed and we fought hard to get here. They need to as well...but it's pretty dang hard if you get arrested for saying truth on social media in the UK.
Basically President Trump is not only leading our country but, by some sort of magic light shining on freedom, also the world. I have prayed for this to happen in all honesty. Not that my prayer is doing this, God is.
People all across the globe are SICK of woke crap. This is the tip of the iceberg the Titanic is fixing to hit. Maybe this time Jack can get on the floating door with whats her name.

Most of our laws (and that of the West in general) are performative art for the elites that make us less safe, more broke, and less healthy. Virtually none of them have the slightest correlation to fixing the identified problems.
Like the Theodoric of Yoric medieval barber skit on SNL many moons ago, legislature's solution to all problems is to pass a law on it (similar to bleeding to fix the bad humors in the body) and preferably that law involves spending a lot of money and giving the legislators grifting opportunities.
Almost no laws are actually directed at fixing problems because then the legislators would lack a reason to fund raise, divide the people for electoral purposes, and get money and jobs for their 'friends aka donors".

Starmer is looking for a scapegoat and its Amazon since they guy bought it there. So they are elected, thus putting another zillion dollar man in opposition.

In his book Roger Stone asserts that LBJ was in on it, and that film footage is available that shows LBJ slightly flinching *before* the shots were fired.
Stone also asserts that LBJ used murder-for-hire on 7 or 8 of his political enemies in Texas--essentially that LBJ was a serial killer. LBJ was tied to an assasin that liked to make deaths look like suicide by running a hose from the exhaust to the cab of a car, and several of LBJs enemies died under such circumstances over a 10-year period. There was no real "CSI" back in the day, nor an internet to allow small towns spread out across a state as big as Texas to *recognize* a crime spree, much less solve one.
