A New American Platform

A stone lighthouse on a rocky cliff stands against a clearing storm as sunset rays break through the clouds.

After an 𝕏 history filled with plenty of bogus ideas, my stances have obviously evolved, so consider the following my most current platform.

Don’t reform the failed systems of the past or indulge the inaction of extreme libertarianism.

Platform Overview

Signature National Initiatives

  • Launch a 21st Century Manhattan Project: Secure absolute American technological, energy, and military supremacy. Focus on topics such as: nuclear engineering, the development of sovereign AI, and the construction of a ‘Golden Dome’ missile shield. Absorb and accelerate other critical advanced projects: like directed energy, hypersonics, and cybernetics. Participation in this project, at all levels, will be restricted exclusively to U.S. citizens.
  • The Phoenix Mandate: A plan to eliminate the national debt by revolutionizing the U.S. healthcare system through personal health tech, ending the nursing home model, funding “moonshot” cures via a public-private “Titan Mandate”, issuing a “Stargate Ultimatum” for AI to slash costs, and enforcing a “Patriot Price Mandate” on pharmaceuticals.

Taxation, Revenue & An American Dividend

  • Abolition of Income Taxes: Immediately abolish all Federal personal and corporate income taxes. The IRS’s role as a tax collection agency should be eliminated.
  • Strategic Capital Gains Tax: A modest capital gains tax will be retained for the sole purpose of preventing rampant short-term speculation, designed to heavily incentivize mid-to-long-term investment.
  • An American Dividend (Hybrid System): A hybrid system should be implemented immediately. A significant portion of all tariff revenue should be used to aggressively pay down the national debt, while the remainder should be returned directly to The People as an immediate “Freedom Dividend.”
  • Full Dividend Potential: Once the debt is paid, the full revenue from the baseline 15% tariff will be returned directly to The People, potentially translating to more than $1,700 per U.S. citizen, per year.
  • Mandatory Cash Option: The United States cannot become a cashless society. Physical cash must always be preserved as a valid form of payment.

Economic & Financial Policy

  • Multi-Level Strategic Tariffs: Implement a 15% baseline tariff. Additionally, POTUS must have full discretionary authority to impose massive strategic tariffs (e.g., 50%, 100%, 400%, 1000%) on critical sectors like microchips.
  • Prohibit Peacetime Cryptocurrency: Cryptocurrency is a national security threat and its use by the general public should be prohibited.
  • The Wartime Digital Asset Act: Treat the underlying crypto technology (blockchain, ASICs) as a strategic military asset to be deployed only in times of declared war.
  • Prohibit Hostile Financial Systems: Expose and ban the integration of Sharia-compliant finance into the U.S. economy.
  • Reject Corporate Bailouts: The $10 billion investment in Intel is a bailout.

Social Security & Retirement

  • Sunset Social Security: The current Social Security system should be phased out for current seniors as the tariff-based economy comes online.
  • The Humanoid Robot Solution: The long-term societal safety net should be built on a foundation of advanced robotics to handle labor and care needs.
  • Individual Responsibility for Health: For future generations, elder care and age-related diseases should be a personal or family responsibility, to be handled privately or through philanthropy.
  • Food Stamps: The food stamp program should be retained as a targeted safety net.

Healthcare & Public Health

  • Repeal and Replace Federal Healthcare: Abolish the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP. Power and funding for healthcare must be returned to the states.
  • Decentralize Insurance & Control Costs via Executive Order: Insurance companies must be restricted to regional operations. The President should use Executive Orders to establish price controls on drugs and procedures.
  • Investigate Public Health & Corporate Cover-ups: There must be a full reckoning for the COVID-19 pandemic, including investigating cover-ups at the source in Wuhan and within companies like Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Lucira Health, Cue Health, etc.

Government & Legislative Accountability

  • Mandatory Bill Review: Before voting, every member must pass an AI-generated comprehension battery. The “present” vote option should be eliminated.
  • Mandate Specificity in SEC Filings: Do not let public companies use vague terms like “other general corporate purposes” in SEC filings for capital raises. Force more detailed breakdowns of how the funds will be used.
  • Abolish the BLS Jobs Report: Stop using the monthly government jobs report. Use transparent, individual company-level reporting instead.
  • Oppose University Accountability Evasion: Oppose any “Mutual Academic Defense Compact” (MADC) formed by universities to resist oversight from elected governments.

National Security & Domestic Threats

  • Expose the Los Angeles Insurrection: Treat these riots as a planned insurrection funded by tax-subsidized foundations and Federal money, ideologically driven by the Marxist PSL, and enabled by California’s elite in collusion with the CCP.
  • Acknowledge the “Art of the Missile” Threat: Recognize that economies are fragile and vulnerable to targeted strikes on critical infrastructure by adversaries.
  • Dismantle Rogue Agencies: The FBI and CDC are probably redundant and rogue agencies that create chaos. Consider abolishing the FBI, whose domestic role is probably better served by the National Guard, U.S. Marshals, and state/local police.

Immigration, Border Security & ID

  • $50,000 Border Bonus: Continue the bonus for every frontline agent, soldier, and officer, paid for entirely by the ten states with the largest unauthorized immigrant populations.
  • Tech-Driven, Two-Tiered System: Deport non-violent individuals with a long history of ignoring U.S. laws. Deport all violent criminals immediately with a host-country-funded rehabilitation mandate.
  • Repeal Real ID, Enact StatePass: Repeal the Federal Real ID Act. Try replacing it with “StatePass,” a new system of secure, state-controlled IDs for domestic travel.

Criminal Justice & Law Enforcement

  • Federally-Empowered Local Policing: Provide Federal funding and an “upstream” intelligence/operational path for local police to combat complex modern threats.
  • Sentencing & Drug Policy: Decriminalize marijuana at the Federal level, returning all authority for its regulation and legality to the individual states. All other narcotics must be reviewed for strict enforcement.
  • Bail Reform: Implement a system of significantly higher bail amounts, paired with public transparency (like video) to ensure humane treatment of detainees.
  • War on Fentanyl: Utilize advanced technology to identify the source of fentanyl production and trafficking, and systematically dismantle the entire supply chain.

Veterans’ Affairs: Honoring the Commitment

  • Guaranteed Lifetime Healthcare: All veterans must receive comprehensive, high-quality healthcare for life.
  • The Cash Kicker: In addition to all other benefits, every veteran must receive a significant, tax-free cash bonus as a direct payment for their service.

Social & Cultural Principles

  • Abortion: Pro-life with clear exceptions for cases of rape and to protect the mother’s health. Supportive of Plan B access.
  • Gender & Children:
    • Protect children from all forms of sexualization and ideological indoctrination.
    • There are two biological genders. Adults who choose to transition must fund it themselves.
    • Sports must be separated by biological sex.
  • Free Speech: Champion free political debate, but speech is not absolute. Speech that incites imminent illegal violence (like mafia hits) or endangers national security is not protected.

Voting Rights & Election Integrity

  • The Married Unit Vote: To strengthen the family unit, married couples should be encouraged to vote as a single unit. A woman who wishes to vote individually can do so, but the ideal is a unified family vote.
  • Prohibition of Interstate Voting Pacts: Any coordinated effort by groups across state lines to strategically trade votes to rig electoral outcomes must be deemed a serious Federal offense.
  • Implement the Transparent Voting Pavilion System: Replace current voting systems with publicly observable pavilions featuring a 100% manual and transparent process: manual ID check against paper rolls, hand-marked paper ballots, and a public hand-count with no electronic machines.

Education Reform

  • Parent-Led Education Pods: Move away from the public school model toward a system of homeschooling or small, private community schools for like-minded families. State funding should not be used for vouchers or charters.

AI Regulation

  • Dual-Track Regulatory System:
    • Federal Oversight: Establish a strong Federal framework for AI in critical sectors like the military, healthcare, and national infrastructure.
    • Local Reporting: Create a bottom-up system where citizens can report other AI-related issues at a city level for escalation.

Land, Agriculture & National Infrastructure

  • A Practical EPA: The EPA will be reformed to be powerful but practical, focused on tangible results like ensuring clean air and water and actively managing Federal lands to prevent disasters.
  • Strategic Housing Expansion: Federal lands should be opened for the development of new housing to address the national housing crisis.
  • Food Sovereignty: U.S. agriculture must be strengthened, focusing on water-efficient methods for both outdoor and indoor farming to produce staples for domestic consumption.
  • State-Led Infrastructure: The responsibility for roads, bridges, and other infrastructure should be returned to the states.
  • Nuclear-Powered Freight Rail: Develop slower, cheaper, and easier-to-repair nuclear-powered rail systems designed for moving heavy goods and freight, not passengers.

Critiques & Additional Stances

  • Expose the Performative ‘Chaos Faction’: A faction within the Republican party is engaged in a campaign of performative stunts designed for headlines, not governance, undermining the agenda.
  • Demand Precise Language: Stop the inaccurate conflation of conservative citizens in California, Washington, and Oregon with the radical leftist administrations that rule them.
  • The ‘1984’ Warning: Somewhat oppose the push for autonomous vehicles like robo-taxis. They are possibly mobile surveillance platforms whose cameras, sensors, and constant connection to satellite networks could create the inescapable infrastructure for an Orwellian ‘1984’ police state. This is paired with a general skepticism of widespread alcohol consumption, which often serves to pacify and control a populace.

A Final Note: This is a Living Document

This is surely not an exhaustive list. I am certain there are critical issues I have missed. I encourage readers to recommend what else needs to be addressed. This is a living document, and I will probably come up with a new amendment soon as well.
