The cost of the war in Iran - $38B after six weeks - has already surpassed the entire 2026 NASA budget ($24B) by 60%. What we could achieve if we properly funded science and exploration.

The brutality Afghan women endure under Taliban rule is not just a national crisis, it is a stain on the conscience of the world. Girls as young as ten are stripped of education. Women are beaten in the streets for daring to live freely. Every day, their rights are crushed under a regime that sees their very existence as a threat. And the world? Watching. Silent. Indifferent. Complicit. Where are the voices that claim to defend freedom and human rights? Where is the outrage?

Kerr County officials who took $10 million from the Biden Admin to upgrade flood warning systems, but refused to use it because of politics, should be prosecuted. They have blood on their hands. Don't take it from me, take it from them.
