Liberty Minded Nuclear Power Advocate. Used to bartend and travel, now I advocate for big power and small government.

[Libertarian Party @LPNational]

You’re living under the government the founders warned us about.

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

It's that simple.

@MensHumor If we remove tipping - bartenders and servers would get paid less and you would get charged more.

[Atomic Libertarian @BigPWRsmallDC]

@unusual_whales If only we give the government MORE power, then the greedy corporations who control government won’t have the power they currently have to control the government and we’ll get the free stuff we were promised.

And also I hate billionaires…

Am I doing this right?

[Westinghouse Nuclear @WECNuclear]

A big step toward deploying a fleet of 10 AP1000® reactors in the United States happened today thanks to U.S. Energy @SecretaryWright, who announced up to $17.5 billion in federal loans for the purchase of the most complex components of new nuclear power plants.

Advanced procurement of these long-lead time items (LLIs) can accelerate construction and commercial operation by upwards of three years.

We’re proud to be working with the U.S. Department of @ENERGY's @DOE_EDF to strengthen nuclear supply chains, reduce costs and accelerate deployment of AP1000 reactors, the only fully designed and licensed advanced reactors operating in the United States today.

[Andrew Côté @Andercot]

We need 1,000 new AP1000's

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

FDR is the most overrated president in American history and it is not close.

People treat him like a saint. The reality is he inherited a recession and turned it into the longest depression in the history of the developed world. Every other major economy on earth recovered faster than the United States did under FDR. Sit with that. We had the most resources, the most industry, the most capacity, and we recovered slower than countries that got bombed.

Unemployment was still 19% in 1938. Six years into the New Deal. Six years of "bold experimentation" and one in five Americans still could not find work.

Why? Because his policies were economically illiterate. The NIRA cartelized entire industries and made it illegal to lower prices during a deflationary collapse. He paid farmers to slaughter livestock and plow under crops while people stood in bread lines. He launched a war on business so aggressive that investment dried up because nobody knew what insane rule was coming next. Even his own Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, admitted in 1939 that they had spent enormous sums and "it does not work" and that unemployment was as high as when they started.

Then in 1937 his policies triggered a second brutal crash so embarrassing the textbooks gave it its own polite little nickname, the "Roosevelt Recession," so they would not have to attach his name to the failure in the obvious way.

A UCLA study in 2004 concluded the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression by roughly seven years. Seven years of extra suffering sold to you as heroism.

So what actually saved the economy? Not the alphabet agencies. Not the fireside chats. A world war. Twelve million men shipped overseas and the entire planet's industrial competition reduced to rubble. That is the "recovery." That is the legacy.

Strip away Pearl Harbor and FDR is a guy who took a bad recession and stretched it into a decade of misery with bad economics and a cult of personality. He is not ranked on results. He is ranked on the luck of being in the chair when Hitler invaded Poland.

Greatest marketing job in the history of the presidency. Nothing more.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is offering $17.5 billion in low-cost loans to help finance the construction of 10 new Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactors across the U.S.

Caught at the border. Released.

Caught again in Chicago. Released again.

Arrest warrant issued. No one came.

Three years later
he put on a ski mask,
hid behind a lighthouse,
and shot an eighteen-year-old college girl in the back.

She was looking at the skyline with her friends.

She died on the concrete.

This was preventable.

Every. Single. Piece. Of this. Was preventable.

March 19, 2026. Chicago.

She's a freshman. Eighteen.
Flew in from a small town in New York
to chase a bigger life.

Just after midnight, she walks out of her dorm
with five friends. Laughing. Whispering.

Someone heard the northern lights might be out.
They want to see the skyline from the pier.

Just kids. Just a Thursday night.
The kind of stupid beautiful thing
you do when you're eighteen
and the world still feels safe.

She walks ahead of the group.
Reaches the lighthouse first.

Behind it,

in the dark,

a man is waiting.

Black clothes. Black ski mask. A handgun.

She turns.
Whispers to her friends —
someone's back there.

He steps out. Gun raised.

They run.

One shot.

It hits her in the back.

Her friends hear her drop.

They come back.
She's on the ground. Bleeding.
Eighteen years old and dying
on a concrete pier
because she wanted to see the city lights.

Now here's the timeline
that should make your blood boil.

May 2023.
He crosses the border illegally.
Border Patrol catches him.
Has him in custody.
Releases him into the country.

June 2023.
One month later. Chicago.
Arrested for shoplifting.
They have him. Again.
Release him. Again.

He's told to show up to court.
He never does.
A judge issues a warrant for his arrest.

And nobody comes.

Nobody knocks on his door.
Nobody runs his name.
Nobody picks him up.

For three years,
a man with an active arrest warrant
lives freely in Chicago.
One block from a college campus.

One. Block.

You want to know what makes this
more than just a tragedy?

The state of Illinois has a law.
The TRUST Act.

It tells local police:
Don't help ICE.
Don't hold anyone for them.
Don't even tell them
when you let someone go.

A man gets caught at the border —
released.

Gets caught committing a crime —
released.

Skips court, warrant goes active —
and the law says don't look for him.

That is not a broken system.

That is the system doing exactly what it was built to do.

Read that sentence one more time.

The system worked perfectly.

And an eighteen-year-old girl is dead.

Her parents flew in from New York.

Stood on the pier where their daughter was killed.

Threw flowers into Lake Michigan.

Stop for a second and picture that.

A mother. At the exact spot
where her child bled out on a school night.
Throwing flowers into black water
because there's nothing left to do.

Her mother told the cameras:
"We've got to make changes."

Her father:
"There are definitely policies
that contributed to this happening."

They didn't scream. They didn't rage.
They stood on cold concrete
and asked this country, quietly,
to do better.

This country has not answered them.

She was studying business.
She was part of a Christian fellowship on campus.
Her family said she made people feel seen.
She made people feel valued.

She was someone's entire world.

And she was just trying to look at the skyline.

She should be packing up her dorm room right now.

She should be fighting with her roommate
about who gets the mini fridge.

She should be texting her mom
about what to bring home for summer.

She should be alive.

She should be alive.

She should be alive.

A border that held him would have saved her.
A jail that kept him would have saved her.
A warrant someone bothered to serve would have saved her.
A state that let its police do their damn jobs
would have saved her.

Four doors.
Four chances.
Every single one — left wide open.

And a girl who wanted to see the skyline
walked to the end of a pier
and never came back.

God bless every parent
who drops their kid off at college,
drives home with an empty back seat,
and has no choice but to trust
that this world will bring them back alive.

@leighleighmw @Savy2Smooth Teens don’t want “teen programming.” Never once did I say to myself “I wonder what government options are available for my 14 year old self?”

Teens behave the way they’re raised to behave. Plain and simple. If parents won’t hold the kids accountable then we should hold them both

[Atomic Libertarian @BigPWRsmallDC]

@1308Nupe @BirdnalsLAW This is a sales tax I can get behind! The 10.25% in Chicago is outrageous!

[Atomic Libertarian @BigPWRsmallDC]

@SenWarren But instead you’d use it to bomb children in the Middle East and spy on American citizens.

It’s not that I don’t want “free” things, it’s that any time the government taxes us for these things they use them to hurt people and take their stuff.

HARD PASS!

[Atomic Libertarian @BigPWRsmallDC]

@dunsmore23550 @MattWalshBlog He did pay his government assistance back… faster than required. He also saved the government money by launching rockets cheaper than anyone else…

Does it hurt to be this stupid?
