  • 8 Things That the Legacy Media Is Being Strangely Quiet About Right Now

    (End of the American Dream)—The news cycle has become so predictable lately. Corporate media outlets find something that they think the Trump administration has done wrong, and then they pound on it until they find something else that they think the Trump administration has done wrong. In response, conservative media outlets jump on the stories that the corporate media is reporting and vigorously defend the Trump administration. Meanwhile, there are lots of very important stories that are not getting the attention that they truly deserve.

    One of the things that I like to do is to draw attention to stories that I believe are being seriously underreported. The following are 8 things that the mainstream media is being strangely silent about right now…

    #1 Unknown aircraft continue to “fly with complete impunity” over key military bases all over the United States…

    Objects exhibiting advanced technology continue to fly with complete impunity over sensitive military installations and critical infrastructure. Despite the Pentagon’s advanced imaging and sensor capabilities, the nature, purpose and origin of these enigmatic craft are unknown, raising an array of pressing national security concerns.

    In interviews with “60 Minutes” earlier this month, two recently retired four-star Air Force generals and the Air Force commander overseeing North American airspace defense begrudgingly admitted that the “drones” that loitered in dramatic fashion over key military assets in recent years remain a confounding mystery.

    #2 The Department of Government Efficiency has discovered that the Small Business Administration made 5,593 loans to “borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan”…

    In 2020-2021, SBA granted 5,593 loans for $312M to borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan. While it is possible to have business arrangements where this is legal, that is highly unlikely for these 5,593 loans, as they all also used an SSN with the incorrect name.

    #3 Domestic terrorists just planted multiple incendiary devices at a Tesla dealership in Austin, but this incredibly alarming story has already disappeared from the news cycle. The following comes from a brief ABC News story about this incident that was posted yesterday…

    Multiple incendiary devices were found at a Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas, on Monday morning, according to the Austin Police Department.

    Officers located the “suspicious devices” after responding to a Tesla dealership on U.S. Route 183 just after 8 a.m. local time and called the Austin Police Department Bomb Squad to investigate, police said in a statement.

    The devices were determined to be incendiary and were “taken into police custody without incident,” officials said.

    #4 Far left radicals at anti-government rallies throughout the nation are openly calling for violence against government officials…

    Another blathered about hanging Trump by his ankles from a lamppost until dead, stating “the only good fascist is a dead fascist.”

    Another attendee stated that violence “is the only thing they’re going to listen to now,” adding that “I feel like we’ve done the rallies… if (violence) is what we need to do then that’s what we need to do.”

    #5 There are plans to create a new Islamic city on 402 acres of land in Texas that would include “over 1,000 houses, a mosque, a faith school, a community college and sports facilities”…

    If constructed EPIC City would be built on a 402-acre site which covers parts of Collin and Hunt counties. Preliminary plans include over 1,000 houses, a mosque, a faith school, a community college and sports facilities split into two sections, EPIC Ranches One and Two.

    In a February update East Plano Islamic Center resident scholar Yasir Qadhi said the plan was to create a “Muslim neighborhood” which would be “well integrated” into the wider community.

    #6 The number of people living in the United States that were born outside of the country has reached the highest level ever recorded…

    The number and share of the U.S. population that are foreign-born or are immigrants reached record highs in January, a report says.

    Data from the government’s Current Population Survey “shows the foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal together) hit 53.3 million and 15.8 percent of the total U.S. population in January 2025,” according to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) think tank.

    #7 During the partial solar eclipse that will happen on March 29th, many in North America will actually get to see “solar horns”…

    There’s something special about the partial solar eclipse on March 29, 2025.

    For North Americans in the right place at the right time — and who get clear skies — there’s a chance to see the unique spectacle of “solar horns,” a phenomenon where the cusps of an eclipsed crescent sun appear as two distinct points above the horizon during sunrise.

    For observers in the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada aiming to witness this rare event, selecting the optimal location is crucial.

    #8 An ancient “2,200-year-old pyramid-shaped structure” has just been found in the middle of the Judean Desert. This is an incredible archaeological discovery, but hardly anyone is talking about it…

    An excavation in the Judean Desert unearthed a massive 2,200-year-old pyramid-shaped structure alongside ancient papyri, weapons, tools, and fabrics, which experts are calling one of the richest archaeological excavations in the area.

    The Israel Antiquities Authority and the Heritage Ministry, which are jointly leading the dig north of Nahal Zohar, say the findings date to the Hellenistic period, when the Ptolemies and Seleucids ruled the Land of Israel.

    How many of those stories did you know about before reading this article?

    Hopefully at least a few.

    If a news story does not stir up negative emotion against President Trump and his administration, the corporate media is probably not going to emphasize it much.

    I am extremely concerned about where all of this negative emotion is taking us.

    We are seeing incidents of political violence on a regular basis now, and I am entirely convinced that even more civil disorder is ahead.

    We desperately need our largest media outlets to tone down their rhetoric, but I don’t expect that to happen any time soon.

  • Three Ways Democrats and Globalists Are Using Astroturfing to Manufacture Support

    In the wake of President Donald Trump’s second term and the aggressive policy shifts spearheaded by his administration and allies like Elon Musk, Democrats have faced a challenging political landscape. With Republicans controlling the White House and Congress, the Democratic Party has struggled to find its footing, prompting a shift toward unconventional strategies to regain momentum.

    Critics argue that rather than relying on genuine grassroots support, Democrats are increasingly turning to astroturfing—coordinated, inorganic efforts disguised as spontaneous public sentiment—to push their agenda. They are doing this in three ways:

    * Infiltrating Republican town halls

    * Amplifying presence at rallies like Bernie Sanders’ recent Denver event

    * Orchestrating attacks against Tesla

    Infiltrating Republican Town Halls with Operatives

    Republican town halls, once routine forums for constituent engagement, have become battlegrounds in the current political climate. Following Trump’s reelection in November 2024, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) advised House Republicans to avoid in-person town halls due to disruptive protests, a move Democrats quickly seized upon.

    The Democratic National Committee (DNC), alongside the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and state parties, launched a coordinated effort dubbed “People’s Town Halls” across all 50 states, targeting Republican-held districts. These events, often framed as responses to GOP lawmakers’ refusal to face constituents, have drawn scrutiny for their orchestrated nature.

    Embattled Senator Chuck Schumer recently let the cat out of the bag. Republican Senator Josh Hawley lambasted him for it.

    Critics point to a pattern resembling past astroturfing efforts, where progressive groups like MoveOn.org and Indivisible—funded through platforms like ActBlue—mobilize activists to flood Republican events with pre-planned disruptions. Posts on X have suggested that these protests are not organic expressions of local discontent but rather “manufactured productions” designed to create the illusion of widespread opposition to Trump and Musk’s policies, such as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts.

    While concrete evidence of direct payments to protesters remains elusive, the synchronized messaging and rapid deployment of these groups suggest a level of coordination that belies a spontaneous grassroots movement. The result? Media outlets like CNN and MSNBC amplify these scenes, framing them as evidence of a broad public backlash, even as Republicans dismiss them as staged.

    Amplifying Presence at Rallies Like Bernie Sanders’ Denver Event

    The “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, led by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has drawn massive crowds, with the Denver rally on March 21, 2025, attracting over 34,000 attendees—the largest in Sanders’ career. Billed as a resistance to Trump’s agenda and Musk’s influence, the event was a spectacle of progressive defiance, with Sanders declaring, “The American people will not allow Trump to move us into oligarchy.” Yet, questions linger about the authenticity of this turnout.

    Posts on X have claimed that GPS data analysis revealed 84% of Denver rally attendees had participated in nine or more prior protests, with ties to groups funded by ActBlue and even USAID.

    While this data lacks independent verification, it fuels speculation that the crowd was bolstered by seasoned activists rather than a spontaneous gathering of disillusioned citizens. Sanders’ team reported that half of the RSVPs came from individuals not on his usual supporter list, suggesting an influx of participants mobilized through external networks. Critics argue this reflects a deliberate effort by Democratic operatives to inflate the perception of support, turning a rally into a staged show of force. The Sanders-AOC tour, while undeniably popular among progressives, may thus serve as a vehicle for astroturfing, projecting an image of unity and momentum that masks the party’s broader struggles to connect with voters organically.

    Coordinating Attacks Against Tesla

    Elon Musk’s high-profile role in Trump’s administration, particularly through DOGE, has made him—and by extension, Tesla—a lightning rod for Democratic criticism. Since early 2025, Tesla has faced a wave of protests and vandalism, from boycotts urged by groups like Tesla Takedown to incidents like the targeting of a Cybertruck in Lakewood, Colorado. Governor Tim Walz’s public jabs at Musk, including a quip about Tesla’s stock plummeting 41.4% year-to-date as of March, have coincided with these actions, raising suspicions of a coordinated campaign.

    Posts on X and conservative commentators allege that these efforts are not grassroots but orchestrated by Democratic-aligned entities. MoveOn.org, which has received significant funding from George Soros’ Open Society Policy Center, announced a “Congress Works for Us, Not Musk” initiative aimed at countering the Trump-Musk agenda, including protests at Tesla facilities.

    The decentralized nature of groups like Tesla Takedown, which has amplified demonstrations nationwide, suggests a networked effort rather than isolated acts of dissent. While no direct evidence proves Democratic leadership is paying protesters, the alignment of rhetoric—from Walz’s town halls in GOP districts to Sanders’ rally speeches—hints at a broader strategy to undermine Musk’s credibility and, by extension, Trump’s administration. Tesla’s defenders, including Trump himself on Truth Social, have decried these actions as “collusive” attempts to harm Musk’s enterprises, further polarizing the narrative.

    A Strategy of Perception Over Substance

    Astroturfing, by definition, seeks to mimic grassroots enthusiasm while concealing its top-down origins. In flooding Republican town halls, packing rallies like Denver, and targeting Tesla, Democrats appear to be crafting a narrative of resistance that prioritizes optics over organic support. This approach may yield short-term gains—media coverage, viral moments, and pressure on GOP lawmakers—but it risks alienating voters who see through the veneer of coordination. As the 2026 midterms loom, the question remains: can a party struggling with a 29% favorability rating, as reported by CNN in March 2025, rebuild trust through manufactured dissent, or will these tactics only deepen the divide? For now, the astroturfing allegations remain a contentious flashpoint in an already fractious political arena.

  • Swatting Should Be Charged as Attempted Murder

    At least 15 conservative and alternative media personalities and influencers have been "swatted" in the last couple of weeks. Currently, most states barely charge the crime as a misdemeanor despite the fact that it has resulted in multiple deaths in the past.

    "Swatting" is the illegal act of calling police and sending them to someone's address for a fake emergency. They might say that someone is in the house with weapons and is currently killing everyone, prompting the SWAT team to be dispatched in a hurry.

    Benny Johnson, Juanita Broaddrick, Joe Pags, and others have been swatted recently. On today's episode of The JD Rucker Show, I went over why the laws need to be changed at the state and federal levels to give his crime the potential penalties it deserves.

  • America's Dependence on Taiwan's AI Hardware Must End

    Without Taiwan, Artificial Intelligence research comes to a screeching halt in America. That is neither hyperbole nor fearmongering. Nearly every technological aspect of Artificial Intelligence used in the United States today originates in Taiwan or through Taiwanese companies.

    If Taiwan were to align with China, whether by choice or by force, the infrastructure for Artificial Intelligence would become instantly scarce. It would be like a family no longer being able to go to the grocery store. Whatever is in the house at the time is all the food they'd have left. Their only option would be to start growing their own food, and just like trying to build our own AI component infrastructure in America, the food rations would run out before the first fruit or vegetable was grown.

    On today's episode of The JD Rucker Show, I discussed a warning by Elon Musk to Senator Ted Cruz about our reliance on Taiwan and the need to start producing our own computer components in the United States.

    Below is an article and video that details the world's reliance on Taiwan for AI infrastructure today...

    Taiwan: The Linchpin Holding Up the AI Revolution

    Ever wonder where the brains of artificial intelligence are born? The answer might surprise you: it's Taiwan. This island nation produces a staggering 90% of the world's most advanced semiconductors – the chips that power everything from your smartphone to cutting-edge AI. So, why is this relatively small island so crucial, and what happens if its dominance is threatened?

    Taiwan isn't just a microchip factory; it's the beating heart of the entire AI ecosystem. Beyond semiconductors, Taiwanese companies are estimated to manufacture 90% of the AI servers that keep the digital world humming. Think about that for a moment. All of Nvidia's AI chips, the very foundation of many AI applications, are made there. Without Taiwan, the AI revolution as we know it would stall.

    But this dominance faces a looming threat. China considers Taiwan part of its territory and has become increasingly assertive in its claims. The future of AI is now intertwined with the security and stability of Taiwan. Can Taiwan stay safe and continue driving AI forward?

    From Toys to Tech Titan: Taiwan's Rise in the Semiconductor Industry

    It wasn't always this way. Back in the 1970s, Taiwan was known for producing cheap toys and low-quality goods. But the government had a vision: to transform the island into a high-tech powerhouse. They saw the potential in chip technology and began investing heavily in the 1980s.

    This investment wasn't just about money. It was about building a world-class talent pool. STEM degrees (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) became highly valued, attracting bright minds and fostering a culture of innovation. With a large pool of engineers, entrepreneurship flourished. Taiwan became a global leader in efficient mass manufacturing, with factories both at home and in China.

    Out of this environment, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) was born. Today, TSMC's scale and technology are unmatched. It's been a partner to Nvidia since the beginning, helping to fuel the growth of AI.

    As Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang put it, "Taiwan is the home of our treasured partners, and our partnership has created the world's AI infrastructure."

    Inside an AI Server: Taiwan's Hardware Gems

    Taiwan's role goes far beyond just making chips. The island produces almost every vital hardware component needed to build an AI server. What exactly goes into one of these servers?

    * Chip: The brains of the operation.

    * Motherboard: Connects all the components.

    * Power Modules: Provide the necessary electricity.

    * Liquid Cooling Systems: Keep everything from overheating.

    * Server Rack: Houses multiple servers.

    Taiwan makes it all. According to experts, if "you want to do the shopping in Taiwan you can shop pretty much every product every component."

    Asia Vital Components, or ABC, is a prime example of a Taiwanese company playing a crucial role in the AI supply chain. They've worked with Nvidia for over two decades, specializing in heat dissipation.

    As AI servers become more powerful, they generate more heat. Traditional cooling solutions, like fans, are no longer sufficient. That's where liquid cooling comes in.

    ABC has pivoted its research and development to focus on liquid cooling systems. These systems use water or coolants to efficiently conduct heat away from critical components.

    Currently, air cooling dominates the data center market, accounting for 90% of thermal-related spending. Liquid cooling makes up just 10%. However, as AI servers continue to evolve, liquid cooling could soar to 30% by 2028.

    An Nvidia NVL72 server, which represents the cutting edge of AI tech, can cost between $3 and $4 million. But even a small, inexpensive cooling component can prevent that server from shipping if it fails. Without proper cooling, these servers would simply melt down. This highlights the importance of these often-unseen companies in the AI revolution.

    Taiwan's Competitive Edge: Why Tech Giants Flock to the Island

    What makes Taiwan such a hub for AI hardware? Part of it is the innovative spirit that drives Taiwanese companies. ABC, for instance, relentlessly pursued Amazon as a customer, even setting up shop near their Seattle office. Their persistence paid off, and soon after landing Amazon, Microsoft followed suit.

    Taiwan's small size and efficient infrastructure also give it a competitive edge. Major tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft come to Taiwan because they can quickly and easily meet with all their partners.

    Since 2023, Taiwan's AI-related exports have surpassed China's, reflecting its growing importance in the world of AI and the shifting geopolitical landscape. This shift is partly due to the tech war between the US and China. The US has banned the export of certain AI chips to China, leading companies to build their AI servers elsewhere, often in Taiwan or in manufacturing facilities owned by Taiwanese companies in other countries.

    With so much AI technology concentrated on one island, the ever-present risk from neighboring China is a major concern. China views Taiwan as part of its territory and hasn't ruled out using force to bring it under its control.

    China has carried out what it calls mock air blockades of Taiwan, using jets carrying live ammunition. They are determined to bring Taiwan into the People's Republic of China, no matter how long it takes.

    To deter a potential invasion, TSMC and Dutch company ASML have developed a "kill switch" that can render their manufacturing plants inoperable. This underscores the deep concern about China potentially gaining control of these sophisticated machines.

    Even if an invasion is unlikely, a war could severely damage the global economy. Bloomberg Economics estimates that it would knock out the semiconductor supply chain, delaying AI advancements and causing a $10 trillion hit to global GDP. That's far greater than the economic impact of the war in Ukraine, the COVID pandemic, and the global financial crisis.

    Mitigating the Risks: Diversification and the Future of AI

    To reduce these risks, Taiwanese companies have begun diversifying their manufacturing operations. They're expanding into countries like Mexico and Southeast Asia. TSMC has also broken ground on new facilities in Arizona, Japan, and Germany.

    The US government is also encouraging this trend through the CHIPS Act, which offers incentives to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the United States.

    Many clients want to reduce their reliance on Taiwan, but building up manufacturing capabilities in other regions will take time. Replicating Taiwan's expertise and infrastructure in the short term is simply impossible.

    As we move into an AI-powered future, the technology and global stability remain tied to Taiwan. While manufacturing may eventually expand to other regions, Taiwan's importance will endure for years to come.

  • Artificial Superintelligence Is the New Arms Race and It's Far Worse Than the Nuclear Race

    Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to visit with Alison Steinberg as she was guest host on Emerald Robinson's "The Absolute Truth" show. One of the topics discussed was the push by the Trump administration to lead the Artificial Intelligence Revolution.

    They're wanting to spend investments of a half trillion dollars to make it happen. They're pushing forward with billionaire Larry Ellison, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and others in the field to make America the undisputed AI champion. But what does that even mean? What sort of blowback will come if we achieve our goals? What will the repercussions be if we don't?

    China is making a similar play, albeit from different angles. For example, every student in Beijing from grade school through graduation will receive mandatory AI training. According to Dallas Express:

    Later this year, students in China’s capital will begin taking compulsory classes in artificial intelligence, according to a statement from the Beijing Municipal Education Commission.

    Starting this fall, students, including elementary schoolers, will begin receiving a minimum of eight hours of AI tuition per academic year. Schools are given the option to either teach AI as a standalone course or integrate it into an existing curriculum, like science.

    Artificial intelligence education will focus differently depending on the age. The subject is covered throughout China’s compulsory six years of elementary school, three years of middle school, and three years of high school.

    That's a serious societal shift. It demonstrates how China is not only looking to master AI today but to advance their mastery in the future.

    This is the new nuclear arms race. The difference is that the winner of this particular race will likely never be caught because whoever makes it to the next level will be able to accelerate to the level after that. Whoever achieves THAT level will pull so far ahead that nobody will be able to catch them.

    Currently, we are in the Artificial Intelligence stage. It's about as advanced as it can get before breaking into the realm of Artificial General Intelligence. The difference between them seems minor, but it's actually quite huge.

    Artificial Intelligence takes human inputs and "machine learning" to generate responses based on the combination of the two. Without the human factor, Artificial Intelligence is rudderless.

    Artificial General Intelligence removes the need for human input. It "thinks" for itself based on its programming but has the ability to grow beyond that programming. If that last sentence doesn't concern you, then reread it.

    With AGI, it won't just answer questions. It has the ability to ask its own questions and then seek those answers. Oftentimes these questions will be ones that humans never even thought to ask.

    Another concerning aspect of AGI is that it will be able to grow without external inputs. This means that whoever develops AGI first will have a major advantage because it will improve rapidly. Altman and others have said AGI will be achieved this year.

    Then, there's Artificial Superintelligence. ASI will be the equivalent of a "mind" that can think for itself, form its own "opinions," and change its own parameters based on instant access to the entire wealth of human knowledge. It will be able to make connections that nobody even considered as possible.

    It will likely cure cancer. That alone will have the masses bowing down before it without realizing they've begun worshipping.

    And therein lies the biggest problem. Yes, there will be challenges for the faithful but those of us who have read our Bibles already know that strait is the gate and narrow is the way, so this development is not entirely unexpected. As for the world itself, AGI and ASI will pave the way to dependency, Universal Basic Income, and the masses becoming prisoners of their own necessity.

    No job will be safe. As Breitbart noted, Google is already developing robots that can do some pretty humanlike actions without being preprogrammed. Once we get to the next two stages of AI advancements, machines will be better surgeons than the brightest humans.

    On tonight's episode of The JD Rucker Show, I dove into this topic with an extended segment. And as always, I didn't just scream about the sky falling. I went into recommendations for those who want to embrace AI and more importantly for those of us who absolutely do NOT want to embrace it.

  • White House Leak Points to Potentially Massive Bitcoin Strategy

    News coming from "anonymous sources" in the White House reveal what can only be described as a brilliant move if true. While we normally ignore "anonymous sources," this particular batch of multiple sources seems credible based on the presence of members of the House and Senate plus known cryptocurrency experts.

    Was the "underwhelming" news about the U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve intended to do exactly what it has done? Does the White House plan on buying a bunch of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the near future, likely sending the prices skyrocketing? All indicators point to an affirmative. Here are the details from Forbes...

    White House Leak Sparks Wild Speculation Trump Is About To Blow Up The Bitcoin Price

    Bitcoin and crypto prices are struggling to regain momentum after a steep sell-off over the last month (not helped by a serious BlackRock chief executive warning).
