  • Trump’s Intel Bailout: An “America First” Scam

    The recent $10 billion government investment in Intel is a sham disguised as an “America First” initiative. In reality, it’s a bailout to service the company’s massive debt, which was approximately $50.15 billion as of March 2025. This raises the question: is President Trump getting some kind of kickback for orchestrating this deal? The claim of putting America first is further undermined by Intel’s continued reliance on Taiwan’s TSMC, a move that prioritizes Taiwan and raises concerns about the prominence of the English language in our own tech sector.

    It’s laughable that a company like Intel, supposedly at the forefront of American innovation, has a market value of around $107 billion, while an entertainment app like TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, is valued at over $330 billion. This entire situation smacks of corruption, especially since they refuse to release the Oval Office tapes from the meeting between Trump and Intel’s CEO. With the administration also planning to reinterpret treaties to sell heavy attack drones, it’s only a matter of time before Intel’s overseas supply chains face retaliatory attacks. This isn’t a serious investment; it’s a high-risk gamble with taxpayer money that seems destined to fail.

  • A New Vision for American Power: The Peace Through Strength Act

    Rename the NDAA: It’s time to stop calling our primary military bill the “National Defense Authorization Act.” A name that reflects our true goal, The Peace Through Strength Act, is a more honest and strategic choice.

    Pivot from Ukraine to Harden NATO: Stop funding the un-winnable conflict in Ukraine and redirect those resources to prepare our actual NATO allies for Russia’s real test. This means wargaming and preparing for “Gray Zone” attacks on the Baltics and probes of the Suwałki Gap, ensuring our treaty commitments are backed by undeniable force.

    Secure Our Northern Flank: Acquire Greenland: We should begin the process of purchasing Greenland from Denmark. This move would secure vital rare-earth minerals, grant the U.S. permanent strategic dominance in the Arctic, and provide an unshakeable check against Russian and Chinese ambitions in our hemisphere.

    Give Taiwan a Choice: Present Taiwan’s critical industries (like TSMC) a “golden ticket” offer to relocate to the United States. If they refuse, our strategic focus will pivot to reinforcing our treaty allies in the region, including Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Australia.

    Redefine National Service: Instead of forcing women into draft registration, inspire a new patriotism. Allow women to register for the Selective Service with the clear understanding they would serve in a smaller capacity and primarily in non-combat and support roles, promoting national readiness through inspiration, not a mandate.
