Peter Thiel sure does.

That's the Tech Bros' fantasy. A nation of Somalians and Haitians - to spoiled, autistic young people who grew up in Middle Class America and had little contact with 'groids...stupidity equals compliance.

They never did the Ghetto Roll in their new Trans Ams, as high-school seniors. Then never paid attention to how civil are the chimps on Monkey Island, either.

So...yes, they want to Turd World-ize Amerika. NEVER UNDERSTANDING that their ungodly wealth CAME FROM the Middle Class they're extincting.
 
If there's a silver lining in this...maybe it'll be that the Moar-War freaks can be motivated to move the UN to a better place.

Like, say, Gitmo.

Or maybe even...just exit and kick the scum out. With maybe half-an-hour's notice.

TACO Tuesday?? Trump’s Iran Ultimatum, Energy Shock Fears, and Dubai’s Fragile Future​

Apr 7, 2026 Doug Casey's Take
https://www.crisisInvesting.com
Doug and Matt discuss escalating tensions with Iran, criticizing Trump’s social media threats of “civilization” ending and calling his behavior unstable, with one suggesting the 25th Amendment. They argue U.S. involvement benefits Israel, dispute the “47 years” framing by citing the 1953 coup, and warn that threatening to cut power to Iran amounts to mass death. They anticipate potential Iranian retaliation against U.S. Gulf interests and infrastructure, triggering oil disruptions, diesel price spikes, global shortages (especially in Asia), and broader financial stress amid high debt and risky junk lending. They consider knock-on effects like reduced civilian air travel, then pivot to refuges and isolated places like Tristan da Cunha’s small, lobster-based community. Finally, they assess Dubai’s vulnerability in war and financial downturns, noting falling transaction volumes, possible car abandonments, and the city’s artificial, hard-to-maintain nature.

I did not read the articles, but I offered thanks for the headlines. Bibi going to trial and Starmer spouting drivel. The UK should have their energy needs addressed from nuclear and North Sea petroleum. To complain about lack of middle east oil is stupid and silly. And complaining about Putin (eg, Russian energy) is especially stupid, as Russia actually wants to sell their products to UK and EU. It is not Russia that blew up the pipeline. Russia did not impose sanctions on itself. Europe should look carefully on its own energy needs and stop its leaders from sabotaging their industry. I used to respect Europe industry, but now I despise them for their rush from excellence to mediocrity and their political push toward social suicide by polluting their countries with immigrants who do not belong there.

Apr 14, 2026 Sit Down with Michael Franzese
I’ve supported Donald Trump. I still support a lot of his policies. But this week I have to be honest — and if you know me, you know I’m going to tell it like it is no matter who it offends.
Trump went on Truth Social and called Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones low IQ and stupid. I know Tucker personally. He is neither of those things. None of them are. Then Trump posted an image of himself that looked like Jesus Christ — and had to take it down. I’m a Christian. I can’t stay quiet on that. I’m also going to give you my honest take on Iran, Netanyahu, and why Trump desperately needs a real consigliere — not a yes man. The mob got that part right. This isn’t me turning on Trump. This is me calling it like I see it.

Forget siphoning. 'Drilling and draining' is on the rise as gas prices soar​

Tasi Malala was driving with his girlfriend to grab some breakfast outside Scottsdale, Arizona, last month when he noticed that his Toyota pickup was very low on gas and quickly getting lower. He pulled into a station and started to fill up with premium. That’s when he spotted the leak.

“I looked under my truck, and it’s literally gas just pouring out the bottom,” said Malala, 31. “It’s pouring out like crazy. I was freaking out.”

It turned out he had been a target of a newly popular way to steal gas: just...
