Three years ago they told you Starship was “another failure,” Colossus was impossible, and Musk was the villain.

Today SPCX listed on the Nasdaq: $75 billion raised — the largest IPO in human history — at a $1.77 trillion valuation. Seventh-biggest company in America. 80% of U.S. launches. Starlink in 160 countries.

WSJ and Bloomberg quietly rewrote their “failure” headlines. Maddow’s jokes aged like milk. And the socialists who spent years calling him an oligarch? Musk reserved up to 30% of history’s biggest IPO for ordinary retail investors — triple the Wall Street norm.

The media gaslit you. The socialists ran the envy play. The “failure” became the most valuable industrial company in American history — and regular Americans got the biggest seat at the table Wall Street ever offered.

Remember this the next time they tell you what can’t be done and who the villains are.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

“Save Minnesota” from the coalition that spent an $18B surplus into a projected $6B deficit, presided over $1B+ in welfare fraud its own auditor said went unchecked for fear of being called racist, watched Hennepin decline to charge 175 of 377 illegal-gun cases, and let reading scores fall while spending grew 40%.

All gas, no brakes — straight off the cliff the @MinnesotaDFL built.

Rep. Omar on Ethiopia: “The people of Ethiopia deserve the right to choose their own future… respect for their sovereign voice… free and fair elections that reflect the will of the people.”

A fine principle. She just doesn’t apply it 200 miles north.

Somaliland has governed itself as a de facto independent state since 1991 — its own government, currency, multiple peaceful elections, and more functional democratic self-rule than almost anywhere in the Horn of Africa. Its people have asked the world to recognize that choice for over three decades. If “the people deserve the right to choose their own future” is the standard, Somaliland is the textbook case.

Omar’s position has been the opposite: alignment with Mogadishu’s insistence on Somali territorial integrity over Somaliland’s expressed will. In January 2024 she publicly weighed in against the Ethiopia–Somaliland port-and-recognition deal — siding with the central government’s territorial claim against the self-determination of a people who built a working democracy.

So which is it? Self-determination and “the will of the people” when the subject is Ethiopia — but territorial integrity and deference to the central government when the people in question are Somalilanders who have actually demonstrated, for 34 years, exactly the democratic self-rule she says Ethiopians deserve?

A principle you apply only when it serves one government’s territorial ambitions isn’t a principle. It’s a position dressed up as one.

CRIME IS CONCENTRATED, AND THE STATE DECLINES TO PROSECUTE IT.

Violent crime in Minnesota is not diffuse. Per the 2021 Minnesota Uniform Crime Report (MN Dept. of Public Safety), homicide and robbery offending is overwhelmingly concentrated among young males in a small number of Minneapolis and St. Paul neighborhoods — a few percent of the population once you cut by age, sex, and geography. Minneapolis violence-prevention data has repeatedly tied a large share of gunfire to a few hundred identified high-risk individuals in recurring group conflicts. This is a small, identifiable offender population. That is what makes the prosecutorial failure inexcusable.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s office declined to charge 175 of 377 illegal-firearm cases arising from traffic stops under a 2025 policy — 47% of seized illegal guns, returned to the street. The DOJ opened a civil-rights investigation into her race-based plea policy. Ramsey County (Choi) has run the same declination posture since 2021.

The reoffending is the direct result. When a small, known offender population is arrested and then released without charge, the same individuals reoffend. The failure point is not the police. It is the prosecutor’s office and the bench. Those are specific officials executing specific policies — not an act of nature.

THE TREND ALSO TELLS YOU WHAT WORKS.

Minneapolis homicides fell from 97 (2021) to 64 (2025); shots-fired calls dropped from over 11,500 to under 4,000; MPD clearance rates rose sharply — driven substantially by federal and ATF enforcement filling the gap state prosecutors left open. Enforcement works. The decline is the proof. The state-level refusal to prosecute is the variable holding the floor under the violence.

EDUCATION: FUNDED, AND FAILING THE KIDS IT CLAIMS TO SERVE.

Minnesota spends over $14,000 per pupil and posts one of the widest white–Black proficiency gaps in the nation. On NAEP and the state MCAs, Black students post reading and math proficiency at a fraction of white peers — and the gap widened across the same period state education spending grew roughly 40%. More money, wider gap.

Mississippi spends roughly $11,000 per pupil and passed Minnesota outright in 4th-grade NAEP reading — and narrowed its racial gap — by mandating the science of reading and ending social promotion. Same demographics of children. Different method. Better result. That single comparison destroys the claim that the gap is the fault of the students. It is the fault of the institutions that refuse the methods that work.

ONE CAUSE, TWO FRONTS.

A small offender population the state declines to prosecute. A student population the schools are funded to teach and fail to. Neither outcome is destiny. Both are the product of a governing coalition that will not enforce the criminal law and will not adopt the education methods that demonstrably work — because both would require crossing the public-sector unions, the activist prosecutors, and the donor base that the coalition depends on. Numbers don’t lie. The politicians who built this, and the donors who fund them, own the result.

MINNESOTA, BY THE NUMBERS.

A free society runs on voluntary compliance with impartial law. People register the marriage, report the income, pay the tax not because force compels them but because the rule is the rule. That disposition is the substrate of the American order — what lets a high-trust society run on the honor system without a police state.

It is a civilizational achievement, not a default. Its opposite is the clan-trust substrate: loyalty that stops at the lineage, a distant state seen as something to extract from, force as the arbiter when authority weakens. Somalia is the clearest living example. When the state collapsed in 1991, the clan structure reappeared and power went to whoever held the most rifles — not freedom, but the warlord equilibrium.

Import that substrate at scale, skip selection, skip assimilation, gut verification, and you import the cost. The billion-dollar fraud is the predictable result. So is religious-only marriage used to present married households as single mothers to defeat means-testing.

Second layer. On the question that matters for a secular order — religious versus political authority — Christianity and Islam are not symmetric. Christianity carries a separation premise: render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, unto God what is God’s. The gap between those authorities is where the secular state grew. Classical Sunni theology starts from fusion: sharia as both religious and civil law, the umma as both faith and political community. Where the Islamist program governs — Iran, the Taliban, al-Shabaab — you get the merger of mosque and state the West spent centuries dismantling.

The variable is political Islam, not every Muslim. Indonesia is a democracy. Millions of Western Muslims hold faith privately and citizenship publicly. The incompatibility is the political program that refuses civil-law supremacy, not the practice of a faith.

What a secular order cannot tolerate is precise: not the prayer, the fast, or the mosque — the law-defeating conduct. Parallel legal systems, loyalty to clan or umma above the nation, polygamy practiced as law, religious-only marriage weaponized against benefits, civil law treated as optional. Every one is conduct, not belief — which is why every one is answerable by enforcement.

The American order is superior, by the only test that counts: whether people can live free, safe, and prosperous under it. The clan-trust substrate and the Islamist program are incompatible with it, and we are entitled to say so. What we are not entitled to do is declare the people themselves beyond reach — when every prior wave of “incompatible” arrivals eventually joined. The Sicilians and Irish came from clan-honor cultures with their own contempt for the distant state and their own crime networks, and assimilated within two generations, because the institutions demanded it.

The fix is not denial and not despair. Select on the front end. Refuse concentrated resettlement. Enforce civil-law supremacy without exception — no parallel jurisdiction, polygamy prosecuted, marriage registration required, verification restored. Demand assimilation as a condition. Prosecute the fraud without the flinch.

This was not caused by ancestry. It was a coalition that imported a substrate-incompatible population at scale, refused to demand assimilation, dismantled verification, and let enforcement be paralyzed by fear of being called racist. The coalition made the choices. They are reversible. November is where you reverse them.

Over $1 billion in documented fraud across roughly 14 state welfare programs. The U.S. Attorney estimates that in some, as much as half the money billed may be fraudulent. Feeding Our Future: $250M+. Autism: $90M+, including a $21M arrest in May 2026. Housing: $300M+. 92+ federal defendants. The state’s own Legislative Auditor confirmed enforcement was paralyzed by “fears of accusations of racial discrimination.”

Not an accident. A compatibility problem the coalition refused to manage.

A free society runs on voluntary compliance with impartial law. People register the marriage, report the income, pay the tax not because force compels them but because the rule is the rule. That disposition is the substrate of the American order — what lets a high-trust society run on the honor system without a police state.

It is a civilizational achievement, not a default. Its opposite is the clan-trust substrate: loyalty that stops at the lineage, a distant state seen as something to extract from, force as the arbiter when authority weakens. Somalia is the clearest living example. When the state collapsed in 1991, the clan structure reappeared and power went to whoever held the most rifles — not freedom, but the warlord equilibrium.

Import that substrate at scale, skip selection, skip assimilation, gut verification, and you import the cost. The billion-dollar fraud is the predictable result. So is religious-only marriage used to present married households as single mothers to defeat means-testing.

Second layer. On the question that matters for a secular order — religious versus political authority — Christianity and Islam are not symmetric. Christianity carries a separation premise: render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, unto God what is God’s. The gap between those authorities is where the secular state grew. Classical Sunni theology starts from fusion: sharia as both religious and civil law, the umma as both faith and political community. Where the Islamist program governs — Iran, the Taliban, al-Shabaab — you get the merger of mosque and state the West spent centuries dismantling.

The variable is political Islam, not every Muslim. Indonesia is a democracy. Millions of Western Muslims hold faith privately and citizenship publicly. The incompatibility is the political program that refuses civil-law supremacy, not the practice of a faith.

What a secular order cannot tolerate is precise: not the prayer, the fast, or the mosque — the law-defeating conduct. Parallel legal systems, loyalty to clan or umma above the nation, polygamy practiced as law, religious-only marriage weaponized against benefits, civil law treated as optional. Every one is conduct, not belief — which is why every one is answerable by enforcement.

The American order is superior, by the only test that counts: whether people can live free, safe, and prosperous under it. The clan-trust substrate and the Islamist program are incompatible with it, and we are entitled to say so. What we are not entitled to do is declare the people themselves beyond reach — when every prior wave of “incompatible” arrivals eventually joined. The Sicilians and Irish came from clan-honor cultures with their own contempt for the distant state and their own crime networks, and assimilated within two generations, because the institutions demanded it.

The fix is not denial and not despair. Select on the front end. Refuse concentrated resettlement. Enforce civil-law supremacy without exception — no parallel jurisdiction, polygamy prosecuted, marriage registration required, verification restored. Demand assimilation as a condition. Prosecute the fraud without the flinch.

This was not caused by ancestry. It was a coalition that imported a substrate-incompatible population at scale, refused to demand assimilation, dismantled verification, and let enforcement be paralyzed by fear of being called racist. The coalition made the choices.
