Never, ever let them tell you it can't be done.
Palmer Luckey says analysts claiming it's too expensive to manufacture in the US are lying to protect megacorps
"I think I have a more realistic view than almost anybody. One of the problems with all these analysts that are telling you that it's going to cost $37,000 to build an American iPhone or $100,000 to buy an American computer."
"They're trying to prop up a status quo that the megacorporations want to keep going. They want to outsource everything. They want to hire cheaper non-American labor."
"They are willing to say and do anything to convince you that it can't be fixed, that it can't come back, that America is this helpless, neutered, post-relevant empire, and it is just not the case."
"How do I know that? Because I have to make stuff in America every day because I work in the defense industry. The stuff that Anduril makes every day is not actually that different from a computer. My drones are basically computers. They have memory, a GPU, a CPU, sensors, batteries, a rugged integration."
"The only difference between an Anduril attack drone and a laptop is a keyboard and a screen. That is not that hard to figure out, especially for a guy like me who started Oculus and comes from the consumer electronics space."
"We're not going to let people lie about what America can and can't do anymore. We're just going to do it."

#CustomCabinets:
If you buy factory cabinets from a store you may not know this happens:
The custom cabinet designer (shop owner typically) has been onsite several times measuring openings, ceiling heights, plumbing stub locations, clearances etc.
Custom cabinets are delivered to jobsite within a few inches of install spot by people who care because they made them. "please take care of my babies"
Precut to size Baltic birch "rough tops" are stacked nearby with identifying location marks
Prefabricated island top w overhang has steel reinforcement installed already.
The "packing" blankets leave with the delivery crew (no dumpster's worth of cardboard to remove and dispose of)
The cabinets are overall taller to account for finished floor thickness installed after.
No color matched laminate sides or trim pieces show up waiting to fade later.
There's a name on the hardware & it doesn't look the same.

They convinced an entire generation that living with family is failure.
Family compounds used to be normal.
Until the psyop began.
We were told:
• Move out at 18
• Be independent
• Get your own place
• Do everything alone
Result:
• 10 rents
• 10 mortgages
• 10 car payments
• 10x more debt
Strong families used to stay together—build together, support each other, and live interdependently.
The opposite of the "be independent" narrative.
Let's normalize family compounds again.

I don’t care what anybody say, THIS is the REAL America, and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.
Block parties with every race, creed and color. Ex-cons and cops, veterans and OGs, preachers and alcoholics, mane we don’t care.
We just love our neighbors. The end.
Quit buying the manufactured hate and division the internet is peddling - go outside. Touch grass. Meet somebody new.
Love again.

OTD two years ago, the worst day of my life (to date) was simultaneously the best day of my son Jadon's life (to date) as he was suddenly yanked from this world by a driver who was "fishing for his cigarettes" and ushered through the door of death into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ.
He can't return to me, but I will one day go through that door to him and my faith will be sight as well.
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The legacy of the 'woke' movement will be a rise in racism, sexism, bigotry, and division... all under the banner of fighting racism, sexism, bigotry, and division.
These were declining in the 1990s, 2000s, and early 2010s, then they decided to inflame tensions.
Idiots.

Connecting the dots:
(1) You work your ass of, with no real wage growth over the past many years.
(2) The government takes more and more of your money through taxation, telling you it all goes to a good cause and you will reap the benefits.
(3) Nothing actually gets better so you start to question wether this is just a huge grift.
(4) DJT promises to take a wrecking ball to all of it. He doesn't hide his intensions and his transparency gets him elected with a landslide and without a shadow of doubt.
(5) The wrecking ball arrives via Elon and his Gang of Five and you start to learn that your money was being used to create and sustain a shadow government. Your money was being pilfered by unelected bureaucrats to prop up organizations domestically and abroad to do their bidding - Politico, NYTimes, NGOs. The list goes on and on.
The only questions left are how far the rot goes and how complete the removal of this cancer will be.
This is not a Republican or Democrat issue anymore, its common sense.

A few years ago, my family was coming back home on a blistering hot 4th of July on a desolate stretch of ND road. We stopped to help a Native girl who had a flat tire, with a baby in the backseat.
Try as I might, I couldn’t get the car jacked because she parked so unevenly on the soft shoulder.
Wife asks, “What are we gonna do?”
I tell her, “We’re waiting for a Southerner to drive by. They’ll figure it out” (the ND oilfield is full of Southerners).
Sure enough, about 20 minutes of folks driving by later, up pulls a lifted King Ranch pickup with Texas plates and FIVE barely-adult white boys climb out, and *without talking to us* proceeded to figure out the problem and changed the tire. LIKE WE WEREN’T THERE.
They nodded, but continued their conversation about “jug fishing.” Five minutes later, they were gone.
My roughly 10 year-old asks, “Mom, were they angels?”
Mandy says, “Even better. Rednecks.”
These are the finest people on God’s green Earth, and are a national treasurer.
