@wil_da_beast630 Having kids makes you more conservative. Maybe it doesn’t make you “conservative”, but it moves you that direction - usually.

This is great. Especially the ending where Jeremy brings up something I often preach: work is good.

It’s not simply that you should work, but that you were created to.

Tucker Carlson called it "evil" when Ben Shapiro suggested Americans should move away from their hometowns toward opportunity.

What Tucker is calling evil is one of the most biblical—and one of the most American—things a person can do: Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.

But the real story is bigger than Tucker.

The left and the populist right are now selling the exact same product: the belief that you don’t have agency, you are a victim, that the world is rigged, and that the only thing left to do is find the enemy and punish him.

Anyone telling you that the way to restore what you have lost is to find the people who took it and make them pay is not your friend:

This is happening in a red state – the home state of Vice President JD Vance, who has now set up a Medicaid task force. Another option is for the Trump administration to simply terminate Medicaid "waivers." Read and stay tuned:

Another thought about this SPLC business.

~6 months ago, @BowyerResearch announced that investors were demanding transparency over the risks of partnering with the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Since then, many major names (Salesforce, TI, etc) have stopped using SPLC metrics, choosing political neutrality over... an activist organization with a disturbing connection to political violence that's also currently under an FBI investigation for fraud.

In another world, the 'culture of demonization' that @Tyler2ONeil describes from SPLC could have gone on for years, largely unchecked and unchallenged.

We're all very fortunate for entities, from private investors to the Trump admin, willing to take this issue seriously.

ENGAGEMENT: The DOJ's indictment of the SPLC confirms what conservative investors have been arguing for months. ⏬

Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we've been talking with many of the biggest companies in America that use the SPLC's "hate list," which lists mainstream conservative and religious organizations like @ADFLegal and @TPUSA as equivalent to genuine hate groups.

On behalf of investors such as @Heritage and @DavidBahnsen, and working with @ADFLegal/@1792Exchange, we've been making arguments that, in the wake of the indictment, are only becoming more obvious.

🟠 The SPLC is a politicized organization that weaponizes the label of 'hate group' to suit its biases
🟠 Using SPLC metrics to guide corporate policies creates controversy due to the list's association with political violence
🟠 Reliance on the SPLC's "hate list" will, by virtue of the list's political slant, create politicized corporate policies

Quite a few companies, from Salesforce to Texas Instruments, have listened, ending their reliance on the SPLC as a result of shareholder engagement - shoutout to @Tyler2ONeil's stellar reporting on this.

Others haven't (more on that later). But the point about SPLC being a deeply corrupt and unreliable source is only becoming clearer.

The DOJ's indictment is making it clear: SPLC is not the organization you want determining your charitable policies. And many of the biggest names in corporate America are beginning to agree.

Thank you to @FBIDirectorKash and @DAGToddBlanche for highlighting this issue.

🖥️ ENGAGEMENT: At Adobe's annual meeting today, the company dodged investor scrutiny over its radical corporate partnerships.🔻

We asked Adobe to explain why it continues to actively partner with the Human Rights Campaign. In a moment when 65% of the Fortune 500 is backing away from radical organizations such as HRC, which promotes gender ideology and controversial medical interventions via its Corporate Equality Index, Adobe is part of the shrinking minority that still actively participates.

We brought up 3 points in our question to Adobe:

🔴 Corporate participation in activist rating systems is concerning to shareholders who rightly expect political neutrality from companies.
🔴 Adobe's CEI score indicates alignment with controversial medical interventions, including hormone regimens and gender transition surgery.
🔴 What risk calculus does Adobe employ in determining its charitable partnerships, as well as its policy posture on these issues?

The company's answer, suffice to say, was hardly satisfactory. Adobe responded that its charitable partnerships are constantly evaluated to ensure they reflect "the law and the values of our company."

It's worth asking - are partnerships with groups like HRC in keeping with the values of any company with a responsibility to political neutrality? And more concerningly, do Adobe's healthcare policies include coverage of these controversial medical interventions? The company notably didn't address those.

The Artemis II crew named a lunar crater after Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. What a beautiful and touching moment.

I'm not crying, you're crying 🤧

Once you have a $3 million net-worth?

It no longer makes sense to keep investing aggressively.

You won the game, you're set for life now just use money to enjoy life.

...Do you agree!?

Our Artemis II crew will be going around the Moon, but they'll always find their way back home 🌎

During this complex journey, the four astronauts will travel ~685,000 miles on a trajectory around the Moon and back to Earth.

If you were born after 19:45:58 UTC on December 19, 1972, you have not been alive during a time when a crewed lunar spaceflight was underway.

This is approximately 75% of the global population.

That could change as soon as Wednesday evening with the planned launch of Artemis II.

Hundreds of thousands of people near Kennedy Space Center will see the launch with their own eyes and likely millions will watch live online.

If you can't make it out in person, I hope you'll tune in and watch as NASA makes its first attempt to send Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen into space and around the Moon this week.

It is not often you have the opportunity to witness a historic moment in real time. Please watch and soak it in, and after launch, look up at the Moon and smile knowing that our great return to the lunar environment is well underway.

Godspeed, Artemis II!

[Jason Demland @JasonDemland]

Well that’s an interesting point.

Peter Thiel just compressed forty years of American decline into one sentence.

Thiel: “Silicon Valley deals in the world of bits; most of the economy is the world of atoms.”

For four decades, the most talented engineers alive funneled into a single corridor.

Computers. Software. Mobile. Internet.

Not because the physical world ran out of problems.

Because solving them became illegal.

Thiel: “It was a bad idea to become an aerospace engineer. These were all industries that were sort of in structural decline because they were getting outlawed, they were getting regulated to death.”

Nuclear. Chemical. Mechanical. Aerospace.

Field after field, regulated into silence before a generation of builders ever arrived.

Thiel: “Computer science was the only sort of scientific, technical field that actually had a future in the 1980s.”

So the builders went where building was still allowed.

The physical world paid in decades.

Founders Fund: “We wanted flying cars. Instead we got 140 characters.”

That is not satire. That is the ledger.

Now AI is forcing the reckoning no one scheduled.

The intelligence being built inside data centers does not stay inside data centers.

It moves into manufacturing. Into energy. Into aerospace. Into every domain that was locked and left to decay.

That gap is closing. Faster than most institutions can process.

America fills it. Or cedes it.
