  • A New American Platform

    A New American Platform

    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.

  • The FBI and CDC: Mandated for Chaos

    I believe the fundamental mandates of the FBI and the CDC are not to foster business or stability, but to create a form of chaos. We see this in the political antics from both sides that surround these agencies, which makes me think they’ve become redundant. We are already served by the National Guard, state and local police, and U.S. Marshals. These organizations are business-minded and have a deep understanding of the communities they protect. The FBI, in my view, has gone rogue.

    I know enough about how the USA is supposed to operate to see that if things were running correctly, the FBI wouldn’t even be needed. Think about it: we have the TSA for travel security and other agencies for our borders. I can maybe understand the need for the CIA to handle international threats, but the FBI’s domestic role seems to have devolved. I believe the FBI alone has the power to throw us into a recession and can literally tank the whole country’s economy. In that sense, they are more powerful than even the Federal Reserve, which is supposed to manage economic stability. You just have to look at the political turmoil they get involved in. The Wikileaks situation in 2016 with Hillary Clinton and Seth Rich, the drama around John Bolton—these events show an agency enmeshed in politics, not justice.

    And it’s not just the FBI. The CDC operates in a similar fashion, creating chaos under the guise of public health. Their handling of COVID-19 with constantly changing and conflicting data was a disaster that hurt businesses and families. That’s why I think what Bobby Kennedy is doing now is so important. He’s trying to fire them all, and they deserve it. He has defended the firings at the CDC, citing what he views as their failures during the pandemic. Kennedy has said that the people at the CDC who “put masks on our children, who closed our schools, are the people who will be leaving.” I believe these changes are necessary to restore trust in an agency that lost its way.

    This all feeds into a larger, scarier picture. We humans live a short life, and we’re watching our national debt run wild with no real strategies to fix it. The tariffs are a nice idea, but they aren’t part of a coherent plan. Then you have some Republicans, who I call the “chaos caucus”—figures like MTG and Massie—who just seem to create chaotic headlines. It’s a frightening time, and I am surprised that no president seems to see how rogue agencies like the FBI and CDC are at the center of this storm, capable of causing immense economic and social damage.

  • The Phoenix Blueprint: A Health Plan to Erase the National Debt

    The Phoenix Blueprint: A Health Plan to Erase the National Debt

    Our nation is on life support. A $37 trillion national debt is not a number; it is a mortal wound. At the heart of this fiscal cancer lies a bloated, failed healthcare system that acts as a conveyor belt to national bankruptcy. Tinkering is over.

    This is The Phoenix Mandate, a declaration of war on the debt that threatens to extinguish America. It is a national survival plan built on five pillars of strength, innovation, and absolute, non-negotiable accountability.

    Pillar 1: Forging the Resilient Citizen & The American Sovereignty Rider

    We will end the religion of constant, wasteful care by fostering a culture of health independence. A key part of this is embracing the Personal Health Revolution, led by devices like the Apple Watch, which put the power of a lab on your wrist.

    However, we recognize that the supply chain for these critical devices represents a dangerous vulnerability to our adversary, China. This is unacceptable.

    The American Sovereignty Rider: If any adversary threatens our access to the critical components for these devices, the President will immediately invoke the Defense Production Act. A national mandate will be issued to a new coalition of loyal American companies, led by the chip-making power of Intel and the advanced manufacturing of Corning. They will be directed to produce a “Sovereign Device”—a secure, American-made digital lifeline to guarantee every citizen access to essential health monitoring. We will not allow our national health to be held hostage.

    Pillar 2: Bringing Our Elders Home

    The modern nursing home is a moral and financial catastrophe. We will dismantle this cruel and inefficient model. The second pillar of the Phoenix Mandate is to empower our elders to age with dignity in their own homes through a technology-driven revolution in elder care, deploying telepresence robots, smart home safety nets, and an on-demand system of human care that provides better results at a fraction of the cost.

  • The Autopen Republic: An Exposé on Legislative Negligence

    The Autopen Republic: An Exposé on Legislative Negligence

    The assertion that “no one has ever read an entire bill before voting on it” rings with a cynical truth that many Americans feel deep in their bones. It’s a damning indictment of a broken system. This isn’t about lofty ideals or the complexities of modern governance; it’s about a fundamental failure of duty. We demand proof of review, a guarantee that our laws are not passed by autopilot. The era of excuses is over.

    By the Numbers: A Crisis of Volume and Verbiage

    The sheer scale of legislation has become a convenient shield for lawmakers. But a look at the data reveals a problem that has spiraled out of control.

    • The Longest Bill: The record for the longest bill ever passed goes to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. At an obscene 5,593 pages, it was a behemoth spending bill combining COVID-19 relief with a $1.4 trillion omnibus package. To expect any single human to read, comprehend, and critically analyze this mountain of text before voting is a physical and cognitive impossibility. It was signed into law by President Trump on December 27, 2020, after passing both houses of Congress with large bipartisan majorities just days earlier.
    • The Shortest Bill: In stark contrast, some legislation can be very brief. In 2017, a bill was introduced in the House with a single sentence: “The Environmental Protection Agency shall terminate on December 31, 2018.” While this bill did not pass, it demonstrates that brevity can be a tool for radical change.
    • The “Average” Bill – A Rising Tide of Text: The very concept of an “average” bill is misleading, but the trend is undeniable. In the 1947-48 session, the average law was just 2.5 pages. Today, that average has ballooned to nearly 18 pages. More complex legislation often exceeds 1,000 pages. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, for example, clocked in at over 2,500 pages.
