Dear legacy media journalists:

In light of your Scott Pelley lunatic antics; apparently, you all need a reality refresher. So as a public service to your cratering brand, here you go:

1- You do not run the company that employs you. The executive management runs the company, subject to oversight by the owners and/or the stockholders. You are not part of that oversight process.

2- The company that employees you does not owe you an explanation of everything they do, especially with regard to personnel matters. In fact, your own legal / HR department will tell you it is problematic to discuss personnel decisions beyond a need-to-know basis.

3- People don't care who reports the story - they care about the quality of the story. Reading a teleprompter put together by the production team that did the story isn't the galactic-level skill you may think it is.

4- This one should be obvious, but when journalists are the story versus reporting the story, you all failed.

5- When you run a story that is critical of an individual, administration, or institution; allowing the subject of the story to comment ahead of time is not "injecting political bias into the story." It's Journalism 101, which apparently is no longer taught in Journalism 101.

6- We really don't care what a "former producer" or a "former correspondent" thinks about anything. There's often a good reason they are a "former" something, and that reason usually undercuts their credibility.

7- This one also seems obvious, but you're subject to - and only subject to - the same employment laws that affect everyone else in every other business. When the First Amendment was written, the "press" referred to the printing press, not some special class of citizenry that is exempt from laws that affect everyone else.

8- When you have a show that suffered one of the worst scandals in journalism history - revolving around the literal forging of fake memos - don't tell us it's a gold standard that never had a blemish in its history. You just look dumb when you do that.

You're welcome.

@RealJamesWoods I'm sure there were plenty of know-nothings who voted for Bass, but ballot promotions undoubtedly elevating her numbers.
This better get the SAVE Act voted on.

@BuckSexton How many maybe played the race card to get out of jury duty? 🙄

[MargeeMcC - Coffee Sipper @MargeeMcC]

@BuckSexton We can't elect a President under the age of 35, maybe we should have a minimun age limit for juries as well.
A little maturity might counter-balance some biases with life experiences.

@NoFarmsNoFoods I'm concerned about the locations and resources needed for data centers, but just as the war on red meat is faulty, please don't fall for outdated information. It discredits your argument.

When people say data centers use millions of gallons of water, they're describing an old technology. Before, water went into evaporative cooling towers. Warm water pulled heat off the AI chips, then evaporated into the air to shed it. It was effective, but it burned through fresh water continuously, which is where the headline numbers come from today around "data centers use a massive amount of water."

The data centers we revealed at Build today don't work that way. The cooling loop is closed. Water is added once during construction and recirculates indefinitely between the servers and the chillers. No evaporation, no fresh-water resupply!

Satya put the scale in plain terms: a full year of water use is roughly what a single restaurant uses.

Keep in mind that for us, every liter and every watt is an optimization target. The economics and the environment push in the same direction!

"The National Mall including the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool is managed by the National Park Service.

This restoration project is exactly the type of project the Great America Outdoors Act and Legacy Restoration Fund was created to address - maintenance backlogs."

[US Oil & Gas Association @US_OGA]

Dear Lord Above - here we go again....

Hello Congresswoman.....

Sounds like you got this weeks talking points about vanity projects, yada yada yada....

We've already corrected you colleague. Now its your turn it looks like...

The National Mall including the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool is managed by the National Park Service.

This restoration project is exactly the type of project the Great America Outdoors Act and Legacy Restoration Fund was created to address - maintenance backlogs.

Once again, Congress overwhelmingly voted for it, Democrats and Republicans alike.

We supported it because the oil and gas royalties we pay are directed into both of these funds.

Not entrance fees.

Oil and gas royalties from federal lands.

Once again, the upgrade to the National Mall is brought to you by your friends in the US Oil & Gas Association.

And finally, again -- here is a report from the Congressional Research Service.

Have you staff read it and tell you what it says....

Let me ruin your June for a second.

Every year when National Gun Violence Awareness Month rolls around, the same people who have not read a single page of John Lott's 13,312-regression peer-reviewed study start posting pictures of children and demanding you feel responsible for deaths you did not cause and had nothing to do with.

So. Let us talk about children. Since they brought it up.

In 2006, the CDC recorded 642 accidental firearm deaths in the entire United States. For children under the age of ten — the number was 31. Thirteen under age five. Eighteen between five and nine.

Tragic? Absolutely. Every single one.

But here is the number that will not appear on a single "Orange Friday" awareness post: 80.

Eighty children under the age of five drown in bathtubs every year. Every. Single. Year.

ALMOST THREE TIMES as many children drown in bathtubs annually as die from ALL firearm accidents combined — including adults. And forty more drown in five-gallon water buckets. The kind you buy at Home Depot for $4.99.

I have given this information at talks and watched jaws drop, because people genuinely believe the number is in the thousands. They have been so thoroughly marinated in "gun violence awareness" content that their perception of actual risk is completely detached from reality. That is not an accident. That is the point of the campaign.

Where is Bathtub Awareness Month? Where is the congressional hearing on five-gallon bucket control? Where is the hashtag? Where are the orange ribbons for the children who drowned while their parents were in the next room?

There are none. Because the campaign was never about children. It was never about safety. If it were about safety, they would be equally outraged about cars — which killed 1,305 children that same year. Or fire. Or drowning. But they are not. The selective fury lands exclusively on firearms. And if you are a scientist, which I happen to be, you do not get to cherry-pick your data based on which conclusion you prefer. Quinn's Law Number Six: facts are the enemy of liberalism.

Now let us talk about what the actual data says about guns and safety, because John Lott ran 13,000-plus statistical regressions across every county in America and the results are not ambiguous.

Fifty-six percent of convicted felons surveyed in a ten-state study said they would NOT attack a target they believed was armed. Fifty-six percent. The deterrence is real, it is documented, and it functions whether or not a shot is ever fired. The firearm you carry protects your neighbor whether your neighbor knows it or not.

When states passed right-to-carry laws, multiple-victim public shootings — what the media insists on calling "mass shootings" to maximize terror — dropped by 67 percent. Deaths in those events dropped by 75 percent. Injuries by 81 percent. States that adopted these laws virtually ELIMINATED mass public shootings within four to five years. The remaining events? They happened almost exclusively in the specific locations where guns remained banned. The gun-free zones. The places we hang the sign that only the law-abiding ever read.

There were between 760,000 and 3.6 million defensive gun uses in the United States last year alone, depending on which of fifteen national polls you consult. A JAMA Network Open study from March 2025 estimated 489,000 DGUs in which a firearm was actually discharged. The Department of Justice's own National Crime Victimization Survey puts the conservative floor at 65,000 defensive uses per year against assaults, robberies, and home invasions.

No dead body. No coverage. No awareness month.

Here is one more number for you: 74. Seventy-four percent of convicted felons in a National Institute of Justice survey said they actively avoided homes they believed were occupied by armed residents. Criminals respond to incentives. That is not ideology — that is basic deterrence theory, and it is confirmed by the people who actually commit the crimes.

I also want you to think carefully about something the Supreme Court already settled. DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989). Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005). Two separate rulings establishing that the government has NO legal obligation to protect you as an individual. None. You are your own first responder. That is not my opinion — that is settled constitutional law from the highest court in this country.

So the political class that just told you the government is not required to protect you... is also the one demanding you surrender the tool you use to protect yourself.

I want fewer people dead. That is why I know the data. That is why I read the book. That is why I am furious every June when emotion and fundraising replace science and evidence in a "debate" that has actual life-or-death consequences for real people.

You want to honor the children? Honor ALL of them. The ones who drowned. The ones who died in car crashes. And the ones who will never be born because a woman alone in her house at 2 a.m. had no way to stop what was coming through her door.

But what do I know — I am only a published textbook author, a science teacher, a father of four, and a combat medic who spent his career reducing human suffering and who actually read the peer-reviewed data before forming an opinion.

I'll never understand the Elon hate outside of pure jealousy.......

I recently hosted an 18 person men's retreat.

Guys from all over the world off X met up in real life. It was awesome!

One man @rdsanchezjr the last night started tearing up about a brutal legal battle he endured during PEAK WOKE ERA.

He was wrongfully fired from a job he loved after 28 years of service with ZERO problems prior.

He didn't bend the knee, stood on his morals & principles & was fired for it.

He said,
"ELON MUSK gave me my life back."

Elon quietly paid for attorneys, helped him fight, & got him reinstated!!

No publicity.
No big thing.

Most billionaires are on yachts with models lecturing us about climate change.

Elon Musk fights fraud, corruption, saved free speech, does more for green energy than anyone, sends rockets into space & brings them back in one piece, is giving the world internet access, & somehow even helps the little guys in legal battles.

@ZubyMusic was at the retreat & messaged Elon a thank you with @rdsanchezjr & he even quickly responds back he's glad he could help.

Maybe, instead of everyone always whining about how the algo doesn't serve them or this or that.....

Just say thank you to the world's richest guy that constantly fights for humanity.

Thank you @elonmusk 🙏❤️

Chameleon carriers are a threat to every American on our highways. These illegal operations run dangerous drivers around the clock, manipulate safety records, and dodge accountability by rebranding overnight.

My SAFE Act cracks down on these carriers and was successfully added to this year's surface transportation bill. 🚛

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Every action that I partake is animated by two ideals: Truth and freedom. Seeing the endless attacks on both ideals throughout the West is soul-crushing. We did not lose a war of aggression. We decided that giving up our women, our children, our heritage, our society, our religions, our culture, our safety, our liberties, and our freedoms was LESS important than protecting the honour of those who wish to enslave us, kill us, vanquish us. It was all self-inflicted via parasitic suicidal empathy. Remember my words. We have signed up for endless strife and conflict.

Datacenters run on a closed loop cooling system, the water usage of a datacenter for an entire year is roughly equivalent to a usage of 1 restaurant!
