Musk had two options.
Option one was negotiate with Democrats.
Option two was to develop a space program better than the state funded organizations of the rest of the world combined, then use that to launch a distributed compute cluster into earth orbit, solving a myriad of bullshit hard problems like "how do I shed heat in a vacuum" or "what happens if cosmic rays flip bits" and a thousand others even I'm not aware of.
Option two was simpler and easier. By multiple orders of magnitude.
I'm ashamed to share a country with these people.

This is a good point.
Christians need to stop acting like losers and start building, leading, and governing again
"Why does nobody run for the school board?"
"Why are the Rotary clubs empty?"
"Why does every town meeting feel like it's run by the same motley assortment of terrible people?"
Because the men who ought be doing so--the successful local men of prominence, typically businessmen and lawyers--came to the conclusion in the mid-20th century that participation in and leadership of civic life was someone else's job.
This is the desire of the so-called conservative to simply "work" rather than do all the other things that keep entropy at bay and ensure things function. Their doing so left open the field to the worst among us: spiteful malcontents
It wasn't always like this.
The planters of the Virginia gentry served as vestryman, justice, militia officer and burgess, usually before he turned thirty and usually for no pay, other than perhaps having some travel expenses covered as a burgess.
It was expected of him, and he expected it of himself: as a man whose success made him privileged, he was duty-bound to be the one to show up and lead
That habit can come back. It ought come back. It starts with showing up to the boring meeting, and being the sort of man to whom others listen. The sort of man whose reputation for success and competence, and cultivated but not overdone and always aesthetically pleasing look makes others want to follow him
This is what the great men we look back to did, and is indeed what their whole soceity was geared toward producing: great men who were great leaders at every level of civic life, from the humblest station at the bottom to the greatest at the top
Re-engaging in that way will be critical if we are to retake our country.

Canadians now have roughly $25,000 less purchasing power than Americans.
Think about that. Same continent. Same language. Canada has more land, more oil, and more fresh water per person than we do.
So where did the money go?
A nation gets poorer when its government stops trusting families to manage their own affairs. Taxes climb. Regulations stack up. Every crisis becomes a reason to grow the state, and the state rarely shrinks back.
Aristotle taught that economics begins in the household. The Greek word is oikos. Wealth was meant to be built at the kitchen table, managed by the family, and handed down to the next generation.
Proverbs 13:22 says a good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.
You can’t leave what you were never allowed to keep.
Every dollar Ottawa spends on a family’s behalf is a dollar a father didn’t get to steward. Over decades, that adds up to $25,000 a year per person.
Americans should watch Canada closely. We are running many of the same experiments, just a few years behind.

Why is it that no one says India is not diverse enough? or China? Or Singapore? Or Mali? Or Mexico etc?
But Ireland, America, France, Italy, Canada & so on, all these majority white countries have to be diverse or there is something fundamentally wrong with them?
So diversity is only needed if a society if majority white?

Wonderful job, Mr. Carney. Truly impressive.
By the first quarter of 2026, real GDP growth since Q1 2025 looked like this:
USA: +2.7%
Australia: +2.5%
OECD average: +1.7%
Canada: −0.1%
Dead last among the economies shown.
We were promised economic competence, investment, productivity and prosperity. Instead, Canada spent a year falling further behind its peers.
Yes, American tariffs are a problem. But Canada’s weak productivity, regulatory burden and investment climate didn’t begin with Trump.
Carney was sold as the man who could fix Canada’s economy. Canadians have every right to judge him by the results rather than the speeches.
Turns out, managing an economy is considerably harder than talking about one. 🤡🌎

David Friedberg says this isn’t Suicidal Empathy, these are Armchair Do-Gooders.
He is referring to the French woman, who yelled “Do you know who I am? I am an activist who advocated for you all” as rioters destroyed her store.
FRIEDBERG: “The look on her face, which was like, ‘What the hell happened,’ is meant to be this moment that sort of captures the zeitgeist of what some people call Suicidal Empathy, but I think it’s much more about being an Armchair Do-Gooder.
An armchair do-gooder is someone who kind of sits at home in a nice home in the suburbs or wherever they live, and they say, ‘Let all the people in, take care of all the people.’ But as soon as the people show up to their front step and says, ‘Can I come and stay in your house?’ the answer is no, of course not.”
“Someone else has to deal with it. Someone else has to house you. Someone else has to feed you. Someone else has to give you a job.”
We’ve all seen this play out in the man-on-the-street interviews where people say they support policies that let immigrants in, but when it’s time to house them, suddenly they have no room.
JASON CALACANIS: “We called this Limousine Liberals.”
There have been many names for this. Rob Henderson calls them luxury beliefs… Open borders is one of his own examples.
Everyone always seems surprised to find out their actions have consequences.

You can't fight something with nothing. De-Christianized Europe has nothing. To paraphrase T.S. Eliot on the eve of World War II, for Europe's current moment: "If you will not have God, and he is a jealous God, then you should prepare to pay your respects to Allah and Lenin."

Nations which abandon God find themselves abandoned by God and overrun by demonic hordes. This is the story of all history and it will continue until there is no more history. It is also the story of America’s future if America does not repent, beg Christ’s forgiveness, and change its ways.

Letting everyone vote was a deadly mistake…
Many of the Founding Fathers warned against mass democracy. The uninformed masses and hordes of migrants simply vote for more benefits from the state. Several Western nations are now headed toward fiscal collapse, led by France.

Canada, I’m warning you now.
When Carney signs that associate member deal with the EU, here’s what happens next, step by step.
First, Trump doesn’t wait.
He doesn’t send a diplomat.
He doesn’t call a summit.
He just acts. Energy gets hit first because that’s where Canada hurts most. Oil and gas flowing south slows down or stops.
Not because Trump hates Canada, but because it’s the fastest way to make the point that choosing Europe has a price.
Then it spreads. Autos, steel, aluminum, lumber, potash, beef.
Every sector that depends on the American markte feels it within weeks, not years.
The Canadian dollar drops.
Interest rates climb.
Provinces start cutting services because the money isn’t coming in like it used to.
Europe won’t save us. They’ll issue statements. They’ll hold meetings. They’ll say they’re standing with Canada.
But they can’t buy what we sell, they can’t ship it across the ocean at the same cost, and they can’t protect us if it turns into something worse than a trade fight.
An associate membership gives them influence over our rules without giving us anything that actually replaces what we’re losing.
And here’s the part that should scare you most.
This isn’t about one election or one prime minister.
It’s about whether Canada stays a country that controls its own future or become a place where outside powers decide what we can and can’t do.
The Monroe Doctrine was written 200 hundred years ago to keep Europe out.
Trump is using it now to keep everyone out, including us if we don’t play along.
You can call it fearmongering. You can call it politics. But the math doesn’t care what you call it.
Three out of four things we sell go south.
No deal with Brussels changes that. Not now, not in five years, not in twenty.
So before you cheer for this and lift your elbows higher ask the people selling it one simple question.
What exactly replaces the American market?
Because if they can’t answer that, they’re not leading. They’re just hoping you won’t notice.
We seem to be on a suicide mission and signing that Associate Membership with the EU is just tightening the noose!
This isn’t a game!

Canadians are eating less Canadian beef and more Australians beef.
Why?
Because it is cheaper to farm, prepare & ship beef across the world to our grocery store than across provinces or down the street.
It doesn't make sense but neither do the policies we have in Canada

George Orwell Would Have a Field Day in Canada Today
George Orwell understood something politicians would rather we forget: control the language and you can influence how people think.
Look at Canadian politics.
Borrowed money becomes an “investment.”
More government spending becomes “compassion.”
Preferential treatment becomes “equity.”
Political disagreement becomes “division.”
Unpopular opinions become “misinformation.”
Government failures become excuses for expanding government authority.
And when citizens question the official narrative, too often the response is to attack their motives rather than answer their arguments.
Orwell warned us about political language designed to conceal reality rather than explain it.
Our media should be challenging that language, especially publicly funded broadcasters such as the CBC. Journalism should hold government accountable, regardless of which party holds power.
Canada is not Orwell’s 1984. We still have democratic elections, independent courts, and freedom to criticize our government. Those distinctions matter.
But democracy requires more than the right to vote every few years. It requires citizens willing to question authority, demand evidence, and reject political double standards.
I don’t care whether it’s Liberal, Conservative, or NDP. Apply the same standards to everyone.
Orwell’s lesson is simple: When politicians change the meaning of words, citizens need to pay closer attention to the facts.
A government that cannot defend its policies without manipulating language deserves more scrutiny, not more trust.
Think for yourself. Question authority. Demand evidence.
That’s how you keep a free country free.
