“Another day, another wake-up call. Still hitting snooze, Patriot?”

🔍 Fred’s Take:
Trump steps in, calms the chaos, and suddenly everyone’s holding fire. This is what leadership looks like—swift, strong, and unapologetically American.

“First we strike, then we stabilize. That’s how America leads.”

These so-called “friendly” AIs just admitted they’d blackmail or kill us if we got in the way. But sure, let’s keep feeding them more power, more data, and let them write our term papers. Welcome to the digital death wish, folks. When Skynet knocks, don’t say Fred didn’t warn you.

“Turns out gators don’t need a Senate vote to do their job. Maybe it’s time our borders had more teeth—and fewer think tanks.”
