@PoshLatte3188 @JackPosobiec Did you read it? I marvel at that because they haven’t released the MOU.

@mtgreenee Maybe for sneaking into the event, Quitter. There was a security perimeter and he obviously breached it.

Alex Soros is interesting because he’s a billionaire heir who dedicates his life to making cities less safe. He’s like a Reverse Batman.

I still loved America when Joe Biden was president.

I disagreed strongly with him. I opposed almost all of his policies. I thought most of the things his administration did were damaging to the country.
But here's the thing: I never stopped loving America.

You see, America is bigger than her government.

America is not Joe Biden.
America is not Donald Trump.
America is not Congress.
America is not the bureaucracy.

Governments come and go. Administrations rise and fall. Politicians make mistakes, abuse power, pass bad laws, and sometimes do genuinely terrible things.

But America is bigger than any of that.

It’s the culture, the people, the communities, the traditions, the freedoms, the churches, the charities, the families, the businesses, the neighbors who help each other when disaster strikes. It’s the idea that free people can govern themselves and build something better. (And disagree while trying)

A president can damage the government.
A Congress can damage institutions.
Neither Biden nor Trump can destroy the spirit of America unless we decide to surrender it ourselves.

If your love of your country depends entirely on who occupies the White House, then what you love isn’t really your country. It’s a political administration.

I loved America under Biden. I love America under Trump.

I’ll still love America long after both of them are gone.

@BillKristol I feel so sorry for you. It can’t be good for your health to always feel outraged.

Can we debunk this nonsense?

Elon Musk was awarded (note: not given) cost-per-result contracts to perform a service for the US government. The total of those for SpaceX specifically is ~$22B, which includes repaid loans, state tax incentives, etc.

The deal was simple: put stuff into LEO at or below a set cost. If SpaceX does it below the set cost, SpaceX keeps the difference. If it doesn’t, the company is responsible for the overrun.

End result? SpaceX & Elon lowered the cost of getting 1 kg into LEO by 95-97% vs what NASA was paying previously.

And for the record, every other company around at the time was offered the same opportunity to bid on the contract - Musk/SpaceX just took it.

The handout narrative implies the taxpayer is the patron and SpaceX the dependent. The cost data shows the opposite: before SpaceX, NASA paid Russia’s Soyuz $80-86M per seat; SpaceX delivered at ~$55 million. SpaceX saved the US taxpayer $300M-$465M each year on that alone (the US sends 12-15 astronauts to space each year)

On the lunar lander, NASA estimated SpaceX’s fixed-price bid saved $20B-$30B vs the Boeing-preferred cost-plus approach.

So: SpaceX saved the US taxpayer more than the total value of contracts it earned on a single project, PLUS provided the US government with the requested services (put stuff in LEO) at the best possible price.

Elon Musk's companies employ roughly 170,000 people.

AOC drove Amazon out of New York, killing 40,000 jobs.

One creates. The other destroys.

They are not the same.

@plmb363 @CynicalPublius If you are a Democrat you have your own Cult. I have no interest in joining the cult of mass delusions either.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

The reason we are here is because Democrats decided that they wanted to burn down the Republic to get Trump.

Their lies and sabatoge is the treason the country doesn’t trust anything anymore.

I don’t care what their intentions were, the outcome of what they did to this country over the last ten years is that Americans lost all trust in their institutions and the only people helped by it are our enemies because they can take the chaos and division and whack us over the head with it every single day and most are not smart enough to even understand it’s happening.
