Interesting.

I think overall Florida is doing well under Desantis in many regards but I was displeased with his fight against decriminalizing cannabis that got the majority vote but didn’t pass the 60% threshold the state set.

Good to have a pro-crypo US President. I hope he follows through on his pre-election promises.

The transition team. Let’s get ready to rumble!!

Donald Trump has turned to a pair of staunch allies from the private sector — Howard Lutnick and Linda McMahon — to lead his transition effort. Lutnick is in charge of personnel, while McMahon is overseeing policy.

McMahon was one of the forces behind transforming World Wrestling Entertainment from a small business into a multibillion-dollar enterprise

I’ve heard from my pro-legalization friends in FL that this was basically a vote against how the system would have been set-up. Not sure of the details because didn’t have time, but they all voted against I’ll reach out to learn more.

Trump supported that legislation. Will be interesting if he can make the necessary changes on the federal level so it stops conflicting against state legislation. Access to banking is a major issue that needs to be fixed.

If marijuana prohibition is not reformed, this is what we can expect:

We also need the death penalty for drug dealers, so important. And I’d also add to that human traffickers. Drug dealers and human traffickers. They get the death penalty, watch it stop and stop quickly.

I’ve been reading the big banks favor Trump, so maybe this will be their reward cookie.

Sell or short-sell DC/southern MD/northern VA real estate. Useless bureaucrats will run away or get fuqqed, doesn’t matter either way.

If Elon gets his paws on improving efficiency in the Federal government then NoVa will soon be leaking patrician wannabes like a burning ship leaks rats. So yeah.

I cannot wait, will be epic.

Ooh. A bit giddy just thinking about it.

#45-47 aka President Donald John Trump will, from the White House Oval Office, preside over the United States of America’s semiquincentennial celebration on July 4, 2026. 250 years a nation! :us:

Thank God. Possibly unwatchable with Kamala Harris and the Democrats presiding.

Also the 2028 LA Olympics!

Compass Points - Fight the Pirates

The Marines are looking for some shit.

Compass Points salutes President Jefferson and Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon as well as all those who fought to end the Barbary pirates. The Houthi pirates today should consider what President Jefferson did with the Barbary pirates. The Houthis today no doubt enjoy receiving payments of fear. Those payments of fear, however, will not last forever. The time will come, perhaps very soon, when the US will lead a coalition of allies to crush today’s Houthi pirates. Beware Houthis. Keep watching the horizon. An entire force of Presley O’Bannons is on the way.

Get Ready for the Republican Carbon Market

Despite Republican rhetoric and Trump’s past policy on the Paris agreement, the incoming Trump administration is being heavily influenced by figures tied to carbon markets and efforts to implement dubious climate finance schemes.

What I don’t quite understand is that Taiwan wants to buy more, they rejoice when certain higher end equipment is given the green light for sales to Taiwan, and the stuff that’s been ordered already faces delay after delay. Is this assessment of the situation accurate? If so, how is some arm twisting by Trump going to help things?

Edit: I see the article mentions the backlog of defense orders.
