I became a U.S. Citizen last week 🇺🇸✨ I wish native-born Americans got to experience what it’s like to choose this country and become naturalized. It’s an indescribable feeling. My first week as an American has been a dream👇

Love to see this. Milei seems determined to liberate Argentina’s oil industry, which is one of the most important things he can do. The energy industry is the industry that powers every other industry. Unshackling it will bring prosperity all around.
MILEI KEEPS LOWERING TAXES: CHUBUT's CONVENTIONAL OIL EXPORT TAX AFUERA! The Milei administration has struck a deal with the oil-producing province of Chubut to slash export taxes and royalties on conventional petroleum production. Announced by President Milei's Chief of Staff

I wrote this about Biden in 2022. Almost every word applies in 2025. But Biden at least called MBS out for Khashoggi’s murder. Trump, instead, absolved him entirely and chastised a journalist who asked about their murdered colleague.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to

This is hyperbole. Argentina won’t have an agency like ICE. Many reasons why. However, Argentina does need to secure its borders. Argentina has weak borders or, in some areas, almost no border at all (e.g.: “la triple frontera”— the border between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay,

Recently, the federal government recycled an old slogan in their campaign to recruit ICE agents. The slogan, “America for Americans,” has a very dark history. It’s not accidental it’s being revived. I wrote about it for @ocregister @SoCalOpinion Link to article in next post 👇

In light of Argentina’s trade agreement with the U.S., it’s worth remembering who Argentina’s trade partner was during the Kirchnerist goverment:

Maybe I should start coaching Americans who want to move to Argentina. “Argentina 101” where I teach them the culture, basics of the language, a bit of history, and how to get by and minimize cultural shock. Also teach them about our Lord and Savior yerba mate.
@agustinavcid Time to get out of the philosophy business and set up an Argentine language and custom school for expatriates? All this time you've been advocating for open U.S. immigration when we all should be headed south.

Love to see this. Been a fan of Prof. Mossoff for a long time and even more so now.
Today, I resigned my Visiting Fellow position at the Heritage Foundation, effective immediately. This decision is based on my considered judgment of Dr. Kevin Roberts' October 30 video and the subsequent commentary, interviews, and meetings in the past two weeks. I look forward

Vance seems to think people have a right to a house. Perón thought the same. In fact, in the constitutional reform he spearheaded in 1949, he included “decent housing” as a right. (That reform was later repealed.) “Housing is not a privilege of the man who can afford it, but
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

I keep seeing posts from people currently traveling in Argentina. I’ve also received an unusual amount of private messages for the last couple of months asking for places to go, etc. from people currently here or planning a trip. Buenos Aires and the rest of Argentina are

Milei’s open skies policy is such a massive win. Hard to convey how regulated and corrupt this market was, making it inaccessible for most people. I travel regularly to Argentina, and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s insane that this isn’t one of the biggest scandals in recent memory in America. Even if you support deportations, this weren’t deportations. These were *imprisonments* in a *foreign prison* where people were apparently tortured,
More than 252 Venezuelans expelled to El Salvador under Trump’s mass deportation policy suffered systematic and prolonged torture and abuse, including sexual assault, during their detention, according to a Human Rights Watch report published on Wednesday.

Maduro is preparing to plunge Venezuela into chaos if a U.S. military operation takes place within the country. For those following Venezuela closely, this is essential to understand. Maduro is acting not as a legitimate head of state but as the leader of a criminal

The Peronists, instead of reflecting on why they’re losing and why they destroyed Argentina, want to create even more taxes and continue looting. These people look at Milei winning and rescuing the economy by lowering regulations and decide to do the exact opposite. They’re
KIRCHNERISTA = LADRĂ“N El que fue viceministro de economĂa de Kicillof propone de modo abierto robarte el 10% de tus ingresos que destines al consumo. Jamás piensan en achicar el gasto sino sĂłlo en como recaudar más para ser ellos quienes deciden cuanto y en que gastar tu dinero.

I’m in Argentina visiting family since last Sunday. My husband was supposed to join me this week, but he had to cancel his trip due to the chaos and risks because of the government shutdown. Everyone I tell about this in Argentina thinks it’s INSANE this is happening in America.
