😱 THIS IS INSANE! Elon Musk's new Tesla Roadster just FLEW OVER and did a FLIP overtop a bunch of other Teslas using SpaceX THRUSTERS

A retired NASA engineer who had worked on the Space Shuttle program for 25 years was hired by SpaceX at age 62. He described the first week as the most disorienting experience of his professional life.

At NASA, a design change required 3 meetings, 2 committees, a review board, and 6 to 18 months of documentation. At SpaceX, his new supervisor said "if it works, build it. If it doesn't, change it by Friday."

He sat at his desk after the first day and called his wife. He told her he felt like a man who had been swimming with ankle weights for 25 years and someone just cut them off. He could move. He could decide. He could build something in the morning and test it in the afternoon. The constraint that he had accepted as the nature of aerospace engineering turned out to be the nature of bureaucracy.

Within 6 months he had contributed to more design iterations than he had completed in his last 5 years at NASA. Not because he was working harder. Because the time between having an idea and testing the idea collapsed from months to hours. The same brain. The same knowledge. A different operating system.

He described a specific moment where he proposed a modification to a Raptor engine component. At NASA, the proposal would have entered a queue. At SpaceX, the modification was machined by the end of the day and tested by the following morning. He watched his idea become a physical object in 18 hours. At NASA, 18 hours would not have been enough to schedule the first meeting to discuss whether to schedule a meeting.

He told an interviewer: "I didn't get smarter when I went to SpaceX. I got faster. The intelligence was always there. The system was in the way."

The difference between SpaceX and NASA is not talent. NASA has extraordinary talent. The difference is the time between a thought and a test. SpaceX compresses it. NASA elongates it. The same engineer produces 10x more at SpaceX than at NASA because the bottleneck was never the engineer. It was the meetings about the meetings about the work.

Thank Heaven for the First Amendment in America!

After a Stacey Abrams linked NGO reported $100 in revenue in 2023, the Biden EPA awarded them $2 BILLION in 2024. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, I canceled that entire grant and that NGO has not had access to any of those funds. In fact, the Trump EPA has canceled over $29 BILLION in grants so far on behalf of the hardworking American taxpayer.

Maine Sec. of State Shenna Bellows just killed the “Protect Girls Sports” citizen initiative despite initially certifying 71,033 valid signature.

She later invalidated ~12,542 more, leaving it 532 short.

This isn't getting nearly enough attention. So much for democracy...

@EricLDaugh @PendinoJoe Imagine no international flights into Los Angeles, New York and Chicago.
It's easy if you try.
No globalist subversive incoming flights,
Above us only sky. 🎶

🚨 HUGE DEVELOPMENT: Sec. Markwayne Mullin announces DHS is drawing up plans to BLOCK ALL international flights into sanctuary cities by ending Customs screening there

This would DEVASTATE those cities.

Mullin is doing it as a direct result of sanctuaries refusing to cooperate

GOOD! We need consequences where it hurts!

"Why are we processing international flights into the airport there? And we are currently, which we're not issuing it yet, but we're currently drawing up plans to say, listen — in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren't allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn't be processing international flights into their cities either, because they don't want us to enforce immigration, but they want us to process immigration at their facilities!"

MASSIVE BIDEN ADMIN COVERUP EXPOSED

Lisa Monaco, the former U.S. Deputy AG under Biden, has been referred to the DOJ for allegedly covering up investigations into Microsoft's cybersecurity breaches.

You will never guess who she went to work for after the Biden admin…

Microsoft.

Cannot make this up

@Rightanglenews Elected representatives should represent their voters.
Tough concept, but the object lesson is now out there.

Call Leader Thune, demand a vote on election security!!! Demand he end the zombie filibuster... the filibuster was supposed to be so they could debate... now they do nothing and endlessly claim filibuster without wasting a single breath!!!!!

@elonmusk The SPLC was ginning up racial hatred by funding these lunatics and at the same time creating curricula for both teachers and students across the country showing examples of what they were creating as proof.

Muhammad Omar was charged with stealing MILLIONS of DOLLARS…is from Minneapolis, Minnesota…which is Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s 5th congressional district.

[Sean Davis @seanmdav]

Tillis voted for a $500,000 per senator fund for senators who were illegally spied on by the Biden. It wasn’t available to any normal Americans whose rights had been violated—just senators. But now Tillis is mad that actual American citizens might receive restitution. What a clown.

BREAKING: Muhammad Abdulqadir Omar, one of the Medicaid fraudsters in Minnesota who was recently indicted for stealing $3.3M, was caught and arrested after he attempted to FLEE from the FBI.

Footage captures Omar limping away during his attempted escape after he jumped from a 4th-story balcony

There is genuinely only ONE human being I trust in Congress.

That man is Tim Burchett.

I got to finally meet Mr Burchett at the State of the Union and he's just as incredible in person as he is in these videos.

He's right...

...the GOP are ABSOLUTELY BLOWING IT!!!!!!!!

If someone walked into your home without your permission and gave birth in your living room, that wouldn’t obligate you to make that baby part of your family.

You’d be crazy to agree to such an arrangement.

The Fourteenth Amendment wasn’t written by crazy people.
