What I find utterly obnoxious about this second Trump term is how few remark on the insidious role that Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and other tech oligarchs play in the administration. They're seen by Trump supporters as cleaning house, especially with the advent of the totally useless DOGE (side note: how the fuck do you cut government waste but at the same time vow not to touch "essentials" such as "defense" spending?).
There was a big stink a few days ago about the waste that Musk uncovered at the Fed, where allegedly payments to anyone and everyone were being rubberstamped. The whole narrative was around how wasteful the government is. That narrative leads nowhere. The morally objective perspective is to ask how the fuck a South African billionaire now presumably has oversight of the Fed and the decisions it makes. What's to stop him from giving himself a bailout?
Imagine the furore in MAGA land if you switched out Musk with George Soros in this situation.
There are no good billionaires. There's no way to amass that much wealth without being morally compromised.
Its the private/public partnership(fascism)thats being promoted.But there was a Zürich gardener,who became a billionaire,and he said,at 75,I thought,I can now get up at 5am,instead of 4am,but I felt ashamed,exiting my house as late as 5am.Neighbors might think,`he`s getting lazy`.
I just changed "Southeast Asians" in this sentence to "Viet, Laos and Cambodians trash their countryside." Thais, Malaysians and Singaporeans don't litter like those of the former Indochina.
Get your $TRUMP coins, folks! LOL. Down from 71 to18, but, hey, some people made a lot of money (not you). Everything is a scam these days, and this presidency is no different.
Trump paraphernalia is really over the top nowadays. On the Rumble platform, there is even an ad for a "Trump comic book" that you can use to teach your kids all about Donald Trump. I remember after he won the first time back in 2016, a website I used to like for its practical articles carried a post titled "How to Talk to Your Child About Trump's Election", where they counseled readers on how to explain this to small children like preschoolers. I found this disturbing because of what it suggested about what a reader might have been pumping into his small child's head that he would even need to have it explained. But I guess this comic book is proof that such inanity is not limited to one side of the political spectrum.
As insane as it may seem, something good may come out of the current turmoil. At the very least it will shake up the overly complacent DC bureaucracy. And in actuality, this is just a variation on a Harvard Business School tactic. The new CEO arrives with a mandate to improve the bottom line quickly. But coming to the job without the granular knowledge of his new organization that he would need to make cuts intelligently, nor the time to learn, he orders an across-the-board cut. Then he simply sits back and watches to see which wheels truly start to squeak, cutting a little money back in if something mission-critical starts failing. This way of doing things gets results quickly, but it really runs up the body count, and hits some innocents along with the guilty.
I have been fairly impressed with Trump's actions so far with the exception of the predictable pro Zionist stuff.
Deporting criminals
Stopping the color revolution machinery by closing down USAID and reportedly NED next.
Rolling back DEI hate whitey nonsense that is destroying the institutions and large corps
Firing members of the FBI and DOJ involved in lawfare
Pardoning the J6 political prisoners
Beginning to secure the border
Implementing Tariffs (or threatening to) like what Washington did with the 2nd bill he signed which enabled the US to become an industrial power. First term he put tariffs on steal, washing machines and solar panels. All are cheaper now.
Bitch slapping the lying Jewish press Corp by now including bloggers and social media inflencers
If by any freak chance RFK Jr gets in that could popularize the travesty of American diet and the need to test vaccines before giving them to kids. None have been tested against placebo. 70 percent of Americans are overweight or obese. Diabetes is up 10 x since the 60s. Childhood cancer is growing 1 to 2 percent per year and the list goes on.
I had no expectations that Trump would do anything except help Israel so I am pleasantly surprised.
They got me. I was thinking, "Oh Linh, he isn't that bad!" Then he has that butcher in the White House and talks about Gazans needing to be moved like they are a couple of squatters in a New York apartment. Thank God I didn't vote.
I'm not sure it is in the news but Trump's order to move all government activities to only "Sex = M / F (pick one)" has caused literal pandemonium within the bureaucracy. People were breaking down and crying at meetings last week. This week people are beginning to yell and curse each other out. Such a simple request has caused so much chaos and all the incompetency of people is now on full display.
I was talking about how male / female should be defined with a Harris supporter who is also a doctor and, if you know enough, there are exceptions to every rule in biology. It becomes difficult to succinctly define these simple terms which mankind has always known and taken for granted. Maybe complexity caused collapse is true and inevitable.
It's been nice reading your words while I've had the chance.
The Orange Polyp is back making Israhell grate again, as he stood along side the Satanic psycho, Nutnyahoo in their Washing town sewer and promised to "ethnically cleanse" what's left of Palestine so that his Kosher Nostra Khazar gangster owners can expand their chosenite "real estate"
to the sea. Obviously the colored clown hasn't quite grasped that the trinity of resistance, the Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah are not done with the IDF tranny army quite yet and no doubt Iran is itching to make some rubble in Tel Aviv when pushed far enough in the next inevitable spat with the neanderthal ZionaZi$. The fun will begin as soon as the "executive order"caper slows down and $lumvillains come to realize that they have been shafted yet again and USSA is no more than an excuse to finance and arm the Khazar beast. Anyone that has left $lumville, like the fortunate Mr Dinh, must be counting their lucky stars to have escaped the dystopian shithole that is "America" (sic) in terminal decline. Now that even the Japs are dumping their worthless USSAN "treasury bonds" how long more can the bankrupt Golem fake it?
Onward to the long overdue and much deserved total collapse of all things angloZionaZi.
Hi Linh welcome back. I'm writing from the americanized area of Vung Tau, Lotte Mart, where my daughter and I ate domino's pizza for lunch. You ought to come here for a coffee or milk tea and use your observational skills and write something scathing about the scene and the people who come to this mall. Of note is the fact that a Levi's store recently opened in the Lotte mart shopping centre here, which is about as americanized as you can get! Take care and we'll catch up soon.
I know, the ladyboys here in RTR were all wearing cowpoke costumes at this year’s New Year’s (American, not Chinese) bash because that’s the latest trend. (if Queen B dons chaps it MUST be cool.)

It's NOT about efficiency ...
It's about getting rid of thousands of government-employees and introducing AI at a large scale ...
For the common good, you know ... 🤣🤣🤣

It's amazing and ridiculous that the U$A behaves this way and expects the rest of the world to behave similarly.
At the same time, claim it is democracy!

Many thanks for your today's longer post !!! 👍👍👍
I usually appreciate the short ones: Concise and pointed.
Amazing and highly disturbing how americanized Viet Nam has become.
Why are most of your posted images so strong in color with a yellowish hue ??? ...
Is it on purpose, or due to digital transfer ?
Best wishes for your continuous travel-adventures !!! 👍👍👍 🔥🔥🔥
Hi Klaus,
My images aren't so saturated when printed. Plus, many monitors or cellphone screens make colors more intense.

Hi Matthew,
I've been to Lotte Mart a couple times. I wrote about it here:
https://linhdinh.substack.com/p/americas-golden-age
Their selection of spaghetti sauces is impressive and the best in town. Their cheese choices should be much better.
Go get your pizza at David or Luca, man!
Linh
Thanks Linh. Last time we did order from David but I graciously let my daughter decide yesterday. Teens like malls.
