The White House ordered a review of all @elonmusk’s contracts, directing agencies to terminate any that weren’t needed, overpriced, or could be bid to a competitor. Every single one came back as “KEEP.” wsj.com/business/trump-aides…
Exactly 😂 Tesla has no government contracts and President Trump ended federal incentives for electric vehicles. SpaceX contracts with the government are BOTH the best product AND the lowest price! Moreover government revenue will be less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter and less then 5% a year from now. Happy to cancel any that the government doesn’t want. Just say the word!

Agreed and our most proactive citizen.
It's appalling that the victory of one party or another means that a private citizen and his businesses, none of which have been accused of breaking the law, would suddenly be targeted by the government. That's pure Third World and should outrage everyone. latimes.com/business/story/2…

Today is the National Day for the Victims of Communism. Communism killed more than 100 million people in the 20th century. This memorial, The Memorial to the Victims of Communism in Prague, powerfully captures what communism does to the human person.

Why is CNN still platforming Scott Galloway who called for Elon Musk’s execution?

Correct. Political Sectarianism is taught. Through calculated and targeted psychological warfare on any medium possible. It's everywhere, 24/7 and it didn't happen organically. The dilemma is, it's highly effective and powerful. The people who are committed to cult like political ideology, have found a constant source of self adulation. They've made political affiliation their entire identity and any threat to that ideology, is a threat to that delicious positive feedback of societal approval. Their self-worth is entirely built on external validation, any sign of conflict or disapproval triggers profound psychological anxiety. It's a drug they're not ready to give up and will fight to the death over. As long as they have MSM, print and social media, the education system, and all of Hollywood feeding their addiction, it will only get worse. "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."

"Performative leftists who act morally superior when their convictions come entirely from whatever is trending"
Being a conservative sucks because many of us are trying to do what's best for humanity and we are considered worse than hitler by performative leftists who act morally superior when their convictions come entirely from whatever is trending.

If you are taking this moment to crap all over a man who was assassinated a year ago in broad daylight bc he wanted to encourage free speech and debate on campuses about ideas, you are failing the test. You are on the side of political violence. And disgusting.

Civilization collapses when the takers overwhelm the makers. Democracy provides the means by which that imbalance can become law, and eventually dismantle the very institutions established to constrain it.

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids. They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex." The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️ "Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the  Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.  Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”

Academics at a London university are being made to take a test they can only pass by professing the “correct” opinions. Compelled speech is a hallmark of authoritarianism and must always be resisted. My latest post is now up! Read here: andrewdoyle.org/p/the-tyrann…

If you’re poor, your life is subsidized by taxpayers. If you’re super wealthy, your lifestyle is largely unaffected by higher taxes and increased costs of living. It’s everybody in between that bears the burden and endures the pain.

Democracy cannot exist without Individuality, Privacy, Property, Freedom of Speech. Democracy requires these things, for the People to be able to discuss, debate, disagree, to determine their future, individually and as a society. Democracy is possible only through Liberty.

The very last people in the universe who I want to hear speak ON ANYTHING -- from election analysis to how to get out ASAP from Iran -- are the people who cheerled the country into the war and delivered the resultant electoral catastrophe for the GOP. They're all: "It's not our fault! Real neoconservatism has never been tried! We just needed to war harder and now we need to fix things by ramping up the war now! You're disloyal if you say true things about the war!" They're wrong. They've done enough damage. They need to stop being listened to and platformed in any way, shape, or form.

If the Democrats are smart they won't persecute or prosecute MAGA. They will focus on policy. They probably won't do that but that's what they should do.

Remember. Any ideology that denies your individuality, is anti-democracy, and anti-humanity. Every person is an individual. No one is a group. Political ideologies and religions that deny your individuality, do not value your humanity.

This was incredibly insightful and well written. I implore you to create a series that could be used by HR departments, schools, etc. to identify and correct this issue just as was done under AA, etc. so that we can begin to purge this from our systems. Only then will it trickle out through society. The Charlie Kirk celebrant backlash was the only true instance in the last decade of anti-sectarianism societal pressure of mass scale. It shouldn’t take an assassination to compel the conversation.

Basically our public schools are saying after you can read in a third grade level, you are on your own. The data don’t lie.
