TikTok begins restoring service after Trump vows Day 1 executive order Trump asks companies 'not to let TikTok stay dark,' proposes US owning 50%

Zuck benefits directly from banning the chinese platforms.
The oligarchs running the country at this stage appears more like more dem theory.
How has Musk's Tesla brand benefited from oil loving Trump and this decision doesn't aid X either.

Ex Tiktokers heading over to equally not secure Rednote requires a blanket Chinese based ban the only logical policy. But in Washington there is only so much logic available.

Footage of Trump’s arrival to fly out from FL to D.C. shows arrival in very different motorcade. Appears that multiple of these vehicles were equipped with anti-drone technology. Including the one Trump arrived in. There must be a credible threat.

Trump Confirms Plan to Disband the Department of Education in Bold Push for Localized Control | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft

In a decisive move, President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his plan to dismantle the Department of Education, advocating for localized control and parental empowerment in education. Read more about this bold initiative.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

For those not American, there is NO provision for this Department by the U.S. Constitution.
(Nor most of the Departments, Agenicies & Bureau’s that exist) they have been created the past century by previous administrations and Congresses. And part of the reason for the debt, excess taxation & inefficiency we have witnessed.

From what I heard, Education would be up to the State to deal with.

Though it might be a good idea, I can foresee huge divides getting created with some States being more "prolific" in term of outcome and diplomas but also more specialized.

Agreed, had there been no DOE, this would have come to manifistation over the past decades by the various states legislatures.

Trump told advisers he wants to visit China during his first 100 days in office: report

Looks like no 60% China Tariffs for the first 100 days, at least not at this moment.




Trump launches first official cryptocurrency

Melania Trump launches cryptocurrency ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration

Wondering what's all these cryptocurrency craziness about. Decoupling of Petroleum and US Dollar? Hoping the future US dollar printing can be backed by cryptocurrency, and later by the Electricity generation, AI, & Computing power?

Tl;dr: Our current financial system costs regular Americans too much, takes too long, and is too hard to access. According to Coinbase’s latest State of Crypto Report, frustration over fees alone is the top reason for discontent with the system. In 2022, consumers could have saved at least $74 billion in credit card transaction fees by using blockchain technology instead, amounting to an average of $600 per household. At least three in five Americans want updates to the system that make it cheaper, faster, and more accessible, and the top reasons why they see potential in crypto are its ease of use, affordability, and fully digital lack of middlemen.

Banks do really well out of card transactions. Musk created or part created paypal and no longer owns it but no doubt can see the benefit for users..seems complex though if all blockchains can become involved and who the hell is policing them?
Wallstreet would select the one blockchain to be used by banks and all the rest remain novel investments. The one they select will be based on the faith system because the floating currency system is intrinsic to this world.

Ethereum has broken an eight-year support trend against Bitcoin, raising questions about the second-largest cryptocurrency’s future. “Dying a slow death”—that’s how Tuur Demeester, founder of Bitcoin hedge fund Adamant Capital, described Ethereum, pointing to the broken trendline to a canary in the coal mine. Crypto analysts blame Ethereum’s setback on slow institutional adoption, where Bitcoin continues to dominate. This could have deeper implications for Ethereum’s positioning as an asset class. Ethereum’s struggles come during a mixed week for the broader crypto market. Bitcoin’s price is flat Monday, hovering around the $90,000 mark, while Ethereum has dropped 0.3% to $3,080. Altcoins are a mixed bag: Solana is up 4.6%, Dogecoin is flat, XRP has gained 7.2%, BNB is down 2.3%, and Cardano is up 2.9%.

Have you been able to find anyone willing enough to say those things, and backing it up with actual proof other than the nonsensical drama queen snowflake false dilemma fallacies?

No one can prove that we're Germany in the 30's.

No one can prove that Trump is paralleling with Hitler. I'm still waiting to see the gas chambers, firing squads, starvations, torture, curb stomps, illegal and involuntary medical experiments, etc.

Zero proof that Heil Trump is any oath of the United States services.

And getting nada on bonafide facts about how this democracy is supposedly dying, and no answers on how and when did our republic become this democracy.

They live in a fantasy world.

Most of these people have very little culture and/or education; even less so ability to look at things and concepts, be them abstract or not, through critical and analytical lenses.

They go by tribe and herd mentality, and they support it by drawing parallels with their favorite tv-show or piece of slop-media.

A professor going by the name "History of Facism" was ranting about Musk, conflating facism and national socialism like they're the same thing. They're not.

When academia and journalism don't weed out the activists posing as academics and journalists, but rather put them on pedestals instead, Trump is what you get as the logical counterbalance to thousands of years of science, knowledge and reason being thrown out the window.

And it doesn't take an Ivy League education to sniff out the BS, hence Nov. 5.
