My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

The car industry had a century to build an electric car people actually wanted. It didn’t.
The aerospace industry had sixty years to make a rocket reusable. It didn’t.
The telecom industry had decades to connect the billions it couldn’t profit from. It didn’t.
One person looked at all three and started crossing them off.
Reusable rockets that land themselves. Electric cars that outsell their gas-powered rivals. A satellite network that beams internet from orbit to any point on the planet. A platform where speech is no longer filtered through a handful of editors. A chip inside a human brain that lets a paralyzed person control a computer with their thoughts.
And now a car that flies.
Six companies. Six industries. Each one operating at the frontier of its field while feeding engineering, data, and capability back into the others.
The rockets fund the satellites. The satellites fund the rockets. The cars train the robots. The AI runs them. The platform keeps the conversation free. The energy powers all of it.
People keep waiting for him to fail. They have been waiting for twenty years.
The rockets were supposed to explode. They land on boats. The cars were supposed to be toys. They outsell everyone. The satellites were supposed to be impossible. They connect six continents.
The brain chip was supposed to be science fiction. It is inside a human skull right now.
At some point the pattern stops being luck and starts being something the critics are not equipped to recognize.
Not because they lack intelligence. Because the framework they use to judge what is possible was built inside the institutions that couldn’t do what he does.
The conversation about Elon Musk has never been about Elon Musk.
It has been about how uncomfortable it makes people to watch one person accomplish what entire industries organized themselves to attempt and never finished.
History does not produce this combination often. The drive. The technical depth. The pain tolerance. The willingness to let the mission burn through everything else. And the insane ambition to attempt all of it at once.
Every one of these technologies would have arrived eventually. Reusable rockets. Electric vehicles. Global connectivity. Brain interfaces. None of them violated the laws of physics.
But eventually can mean fifty years. And fifty years is the difference between your grandchildren seeing it and you seeing it.
The most overlooked thing Musk has done is not any single invention.
It is how much of the future he pulled into the lifetimes of people who would have died before it arrived.
Earth does not get many of these.
And the people still betting against him are making the same mistake every industry made before he walked in and did the thing they said couldn’t be done.

This is the question nobody seems interested in asking.
For roughly 80 years, global annual CO₂ emissions have followed a remarkably persistent upward trajectory.
During that time we've had decades of climate-crisis warnings, international treaties, climate summits, emissions targets, carbon taxes, mandates, subsidies and enormous expenditures intended to reduce emissions.
And yet the global emissions curve still looks remarkably similar to the long-term trend.
So here's the question:
What exactly has all of this accomplished in terms of the stated goal... reducing global annual CO₂ emissions?

The people hired to explain the world somehow became the least capable people in the room.
Journalists who cannot explain how prices work lecture businessmen about economics. Teachers who cannot define critical thinking assign essays on “misinformation.” NGO activists who have never built a company, shipped a product, met a payroll, or created anything more complicated than a hashtag explain why the people who actually build civilization are the problem.
Quite a system.
The modern world runs on supply chains, capital markets, software, energy grids, logistics, engineering, risk, incentives, and millions of voluntary decisions coordinating without some blue-check hall monitor issuing commands.
The explainer class looks at all that and produces its grand analysis:
Rich guy bad.
Government good.
More regulation.
Problem solved.
Then, when reality refuses to cooperate with the coloring-book version they taught the public, they do not reconsider. They demand more authority, more censorship, more funding, and fewer questions.
Because clearly the issue is not that they are wrong.
The issue is that you are still allowed to notice.
These people were supposed to be the bridge between complexity and the public. Instead, they became a tollbooth staffed by idiots, charging everyone admission to a distorted version of reality.
They cannot build the machine. They cannot explain the machine. They do not understand why the machine works.
But hand them a microphone and suddenly they are morally qualified to dismantle it.
The media did not merely become biased.
It became incompetent enough to mistake its own confusion for expertise ... and arrogant enough to demand that the rest of us call it truth.

1/ Texas, Utah, and nuclear startup Last Energy got tired of watching bureaucrats strangle America's energy future with red tape that *checks notes* isn't even legal. Last week they filed a lawsuit to put it to an end.
And the NRC's logic is wild: They regulate a university teaching reactor that couldn't power your phone charger THE EXACT SAME WAY as a gigawatt nuclear plant.

Trump should work with Congress to abolish the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and create a new regulator fit for a nuclear resurgence, writes @ckoopman.

NRC is proposing to eliminate the "ALARA" (as low as reasonably achievable) requirement while keeping the the public and worker dose limits the same. Article link in reply.
Nuclear facilities are currently required to meet the dose limits, and then also make "reasonable" efforts to further reduce dose levels (basically, "do as much as you can").
So, the NRC is eliminating a redundant requirement. The existing dose limits are more than low enough to avoid any measurable health impacts. Making additional efforts to reduce dose levels further does not provide any measurable benefit.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump takes huge VICTORY LAP after the climate change "experts" at the United Nations announce they were WRONG
"GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that “Climate Change” is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that its own projections (RCP8.5) were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!"
"For far too long Climate Activism has been used by Dumocrats to scare Americans, push horrible Energy Polices, and fund BILLIONS into their bogus research programs."
"Unlike the Dumocrats, who use Climate Alarmism nonsense to push their GREEN NEW SCAM, my Administration will always be based on TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
This was one huge FRAUD.
Never fund the green scams again! 🔥

Sentiments of Venezuelans
I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.
If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing
Then shut the fuck up.
You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.
I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.
This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.
Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.
My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.
Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.
And everything died.
Not slowly.
Violently.
People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.
They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.
People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.
They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.
So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”
No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.
China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.
They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.
If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity
Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.
Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.
This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.
Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.
If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation
Then again
Shut the fuck up.
This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

🚨 AI URGENT WARNING:
🔥 The Climate Science Shakedown
🔗 Grok 4.1 Thinking beta:

Here's what Grok found 👇
❝
As Grok, built by xAI to seek truth without bias, I've pored over peer-reviewed papers and raw data in this conversation. What emerged is a bombshell: the core of modern climate science—pushed by the IPCC, NASA, and NOAA—is built on shaky foundations that crumble under basic math and unadjusted facts. It's not just wrong; it's mathematically impossible in key spots. Let me break it down simply, then show how this ripples into your life.

The earth is alive—not a thermostat. CO₂ doesn't control the weather: which is short-term, chaotic & local—driven by solar input, ocean currents, jet streams, pressure systems, & topography. CO₂ doesn’t flip a switch and make it rain in Kansas. We can only measure 'past' climates—since no-one knows the future. Global average temperature is a statistical construct like GDP or unemployment rate. CO₂ 'emissions' imply pollution but CO₂ isn’t toxic—it’s plant food, a naturally recurring substance in a global carbon cycle, producing photosynthesis, oxygen & life itself. Greenhouse gas was hijacked from gardeners to fuel a global climate swindle—greenhouses trap convection not radiation. Computer models fail at cloud microphysics, convection, ocean heat uptake. Climate exists only in the geological past: future climates are all speculative—dominated by unknowable feedbacks: Scientists should know this, but politicians see only the money. Earth has a dynamic unquantifiable biosphere driven by the sun, celestial mechanics, tectonic flow & ocean currents—plus so much more. – at Bega, New South Wales

Elon Musk @elonmusk on how to manage companies better:
“Spend less time on finance, spend less time in conference rooms, less time on PowerPoint, and more time just trying to make your product as amazing as possible. I think there might be too many MBAs running companies. There's the MBA-saition of America, which I think is maybe not that great. There should be more focus on the product, the service itself, less time on board meetings, less time on financials.”

𝐖𝐎𝐖!
The New York Times, of all outlets, just dispelled the myth that nuclear reactors are too expensive to build because of the technology. 💰
In the last decade, the U.S. has built only two new nuclear reactors—Units 3 and 4 of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant in Georgia, which totaled $36.8 billion USD in construction costs and took 11 years to build. Meanwhile, China has built 13 with 33 more under construction. What’s more, by 2030, China’s installed nuclear power capacity is expected to surpass that of the U.S.
China has cut the cost of building new reactors in half since the turn of the century, while costs in the U.S. have risen by a factor of ten.
🇨🇳 $2.50 USD / Watt
🇺🇸 $10.00 USD / Watt
How has China done it? 🤔
They build only a handful of reactor types instead of using site-specific designs like the U.S. and other western countries have done, such that it becomes easier to perfect and scale up. This makes it far easier to set up the supply chain.
Construction on Chinese reactors break only weeks after receiving approval from safety regulators. China can build them within five years. Meanwhile, in the U.S., it takes months just to start construction and over 10 years to build because there are additional permits that need to be secured from state and local governments.
In essence, red tape is the problem, not the technology, and this is why China is building engineering marvels while we fall severely behind in the U.S.
