Thanks, Peter! This is the beginning of the end for destructive wildfires. In a country that loses ~$500B every year to wildfires, even tiny gains make for huge savings, to say nothing of the incalculable value of lives and homes.

It was my honor to keynote this forum in Taiwan. "If Taiwan can reach a durable shared view of its own future . . . Beijing will reach the conclusion that many nations have reached many times in history: This is a war that may be winnable, but it is not worth winning."

@Austen He thinks he will be put in charge of the most powerful transnational organization in history and strongarm the USA. Saying he would hand everything over to "the right set of government" is obviously predicated on the assumption that it is run by him and his stooges, not Trump.

It is crazy that the People's Republic of China has sanctioned me as a seperatist terrorist, but even crazier that so many American executives and influencers still shill for them. "How could anyone have predicted this outcome?", they will cry as sanctions inevitably hit them.

@JamesSurowiecki There are statues of George Washington in England, to say nothing of Cromwell. Japan has statues of pretty much every significant Samurai present at the Battle of Shiroyama. You can find examples honoring men on the other side pretty much everywhere.

@paulg Being a traitor is not a crime, and certainly not punishable by death. Your tweet is bizarre and nonsensical, maybe because you have been posting all night. Pretending you don't know why I take issue with you is very dishonest, we both know I have been very direct in private:

"Elon retweeted it. You, instead, replied with a straw man, which you then retweeted (really dude?) to draw in all your followers." No, I did not. Please stop lying. "I can only guess that I must have gotten the better of you in some past exchange" You are so full of yourself, Paul. You know exactly what my problem with you is, to the point where you have emailed Anduril leadership whining about it - I think it is really shitty for you to take constant potshots at America and Americans for being ignorant/religious/bigoted when you are the one who came here, made all your money, and then abandoned our country to shitpost from the English countryside.

Investors like Paul want the immigration debate to be strictly polar because it is the only way their traitorous ideas might seem reasonable. They paint one side as racist, backwards, economically illiterate absolutists and the other as enlightened, growth-minded cosmopolitian realists. Support for laws that protect American citizens can be dismissed as uneducated, anyone who hires immigrants or foreigners in any capacity a hypocrite. American law should, and does, advantage American citizens. We should not have to compete on an even playing field with billions of people who almost universally don't share our values or respect our institutions, even if they are "the most qualified" or willing to work double the hours for the same wages. The men running Operation Paperclip did not think Americans should have to compete with the entire Third World, they understood that a carefully controlled amount of highly-skilled expert immigration is net good for America even when allegience is in question. It is worth noting that even on a purely economic level, ignoring all burdens of loyalty or allegiance to your countrymen and treating America as nothing but an economic activity zone, it still doesn't make sense to say without qualification that foreigners should get any job where they are more qualified than their American counterpart. As just one easy example out of dozens, about 20% of immigrants return home after less than five years, taking all their savings and vested shares with them. Another 20% will leave within ten years, doing the same. All the while, they will wire, on average, ~15% of their wages out of the United States economy every month. Some occupations and origins average 30%! The idea that this should be completely ignored with regard to employment and immigration policy is rampant among the same people who tell you with a straight face that limits on immigrants will destroy the American economy, that the dumb rednecks need to be saved. I lean very libertarian and have strongly supported immigration to America for many years with countless public examples. That doesn't put me on the same side as the men who want to sell out America, and no amount of long-past accomplishment obliges any of us to listen to their lectures from the other side of the Atlantic.

Greg is a bitter, used-up old man who spends all his time taking pot shots at people still doing something with their lives. He used to live down the street from me and was so mad about me ruining his weekend by hosting the President at my house. I won't share the emails or texts he sent to people, but man, what a loser. I hope I never turn into this, please print this tweet and hit me in the face with it if I do.

"the fundraiser incorporated a speech by Oz in front of a car that once belonged to Adolf Hitler." You try so hard to frame me as a Nazi but have nothing to work with, so instead you just lie. The speech was at the Lyon Air Museum, founded by famed WWII and Korean War veteran Bill Lyon. Hitler's personal car was seized French Army after the U.S. Third Infantry Division liberated Berchtesgaden, and Bill used his connections to get it shipped to the United States for display alongside the American machines that toppled Hitler's empire. To mention none of this and simply frame it as "Palmer hosted someone in front of Hitler's car" is the type of unethical journalism that would get you fired at any credible outlet. Setting all that aside, Oz wasn't even speaking in front of the car. It was ~100 feet off to the side next to a stairwell!

This @guardian story is a perfect blend of lazy ignorance, careful twists of fact, and outright lies. @AramRoston should be ashamed. The emails don't "reveal" anything of the sort, and it gets much worse after the headline. Thread below:
