President Trump Spoiled the Davos Garden Party

He did not honor them with his presence. But he did make a live video link appearance to rebuke them. Mr. Trump informed them that the United States is taking a new direction 180 degrees opposite the Davos globalist geopolitical framework because, he inferred, they are on the wrong track. They are on the wrong side of history. And that simple idea is prompting many international leaders to rethink their blind participation in the corrupt World Economic Forum.

Mr. Trump's position is not merely an opinion, it is dynamic leadership with an intelligent agenda, nineteen points, he laid out for them in his message. Here are nineteen goals America will now be pursuing as the WEF stagnates in its failure:

President Trump will get rid of 10 regulations for each new regulation

Tariffs, whose amounts are not yet established, will be imposed on foreign goods

Federal tax breaks will be given for companies that make products within the US: he will lower it from 21% to 15% if products are produced in the USA.

He will reduce interest rates and inflation

The US is becoming a merit-based country

He (of course) talked about the border

There are only 2 genders. Transgender surgeries will be rare. Transgender athletes will not compete with women.

The United States is a sovereign country

We are returning to freedom of speech, no misinformation/disinformation labels to suffocate Americans’ free speech

Asks nations to increase their defense spending to 5% from 2% (this was a US request to NATO nations under Biden last fall)

It is time to end the Ukraine war, it is a carnage. He said millions are dying. He wants to talk to Putin soon about this. Hopefully this is an exaggeration.

There will be no support for electric cars. People can buy whatever car they want.

Prolonged delays for project approvals will end

With AI, we will need twice the energy in the US as we use now. (!). He suggests electricity generating plants be built next to AI plants, avoiding need to use the grid.

President Trump spoke about the use of “clean coal.” Does this mean we will use better scrubbers? RF Kennedy sued coal-burning plants for releasing large amounts of mercury into the air, generally harming low income communities where they were located.

President Trump said “debanking” is wrong and told the big banks to stop doing it.

President Trump said we don’t need Canada for wood, for making our cars, etc. He pointed out that essentially everything Canada has, the US has. This presages some tough negotiations on tariffs.

The President said President Xi called him. We have a 1.1 trillion dollar deficit with China that needs to be corrected. Hopefully China can help stop the Ukraine war. We’d like to see denuclearization of our two countries (Russia and the US) and China could come along. President Putin really liked the idea of reducing our nuclear capability. Xi did too.

The Ukraine war should never ever have been started. A lot of stupidity all around. “Far more people have died than is being reported.”

Combat: Disturbance Unto Survival

“No man in battle is really sane. The mindset of the soldier on the battlefield is a highly disturbed mind, and this is an epidemic of insanity which affects everybody there—and those not afflicted by it die very quickly.”

William Manchester, quoted in War: The New Edition by Gwynne Dyer

Lesson: Avoid kinetic warfare.

Here lies the student essay—RIP, old friend—slain by OpenAI.

A college professor grades 95 student essays. Then writes this:

"Miraculously, in the last year, mistakes of spelling and grammar have mostly disappeared—poof!—revealing sparkling error-free prose, even from students who speak English as a second or third language. The writing is getting better.

"The ideas are getting worse.

"There’s a new genre of essay that other academics reading this will instantly recognize, a clumsy collaboration between students and Silicon Valley. I call it glittering sludge.

"At the same time, in a totally unrelated development, some students have adopted a bold academic strategy: citing books and articles that do not exist.

"(In one particularly amusing example, a student cited me in an essay, drawing from my book, Fluke. The only problem: the alleged author of the cited text in the bibliography was not listed as Brian Klaas, but one “Benjamin Fluke.” Right title, wrong author, wrong publisher, wrong year. Well played, ChatGPT).

Why Big Pharma is Freaking Out

Whoa, I can’t believe I didn’t see this before. Secretary Kennedy can singlehandedly remove liability protection for vaccines. Here’s how:

If Secretary Kennedy declares that there's no PREP Act public health emergency (there obviously isn’t) then Covid shots would no longer have liability protection. If he gets rid of the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule, then no childhood shots have liability protection under the 1986 Act.

It's literally just two signatures, that are within his power as HHS Secretary, and this entire national nightmare goes away. He doesn't even have to ban any shots — just let the class action lawsuits do their work. It’s a two-foot putt. THAT'S why Pharma is freaking out.
