If you see a comment that fills you with anger respond with this video…. This is the only response that truly matters. Save the video and use it, let’s expand his legacy and the gospel he preached 🩷🩷

Let’s share this far and wide because the gospel saves. If we want change we need to make disciples. #CharlieKirk

Dear pro sports leagues: Looking forward to seeing you release statements & send condolences to Charlie Kirk’s family after he was murdered for his political beliefs. You know - kinda like you did when career criminal George Floyd died. @NFL @NBA @WNBA @MLB @NHL
Appreciate the @Yankees for holding a moment of silence tonight.

That is the best thing l've seen in months on Instagram so very funny thank you. I enjoyed that.
I'm now happy for the rest of the day.

.@SecScottBessent: "There was a story ten days ago that said this is the worst April for the stock market since the Great Depression. Ten days later, the Nasdaq is now up on the month of April, and I haven't seen a story that says 'stock market has biggest bounce back ever.'"

He’s right

UKRAINE: Yesterday in the Oval Office JD Vance responded to Zelensky's refusal to engage in diplomacy with Putin by pointing out that Ukraine is having to kidnap military aged men off the streets to fill its army. I've never really shared these videos until yesterday and my son mentioned that he had never seen them - there are scores of them being shared by folks like @MyLordBebo. (sound down 🤣)

6,000 journalists and 700 newsrooms received USAID money?

It's a wonder all of them parrot the same news.

[Andrea S. James @AndreaSJames]

Gently, softly, calmly, let’s talk about what’s happening in DC right now.

Friends, have you ever been through a ZBB process? If not, let me give you my take. So, in a corporation where expenses are out of control, you have to put the entire company through a zero based budgeting process. It is one of the most painful things that people in a company experience.

You basically have to justify every. single. expense. And you also cut a bunch, and then only add back after you’ve gone through a proper ZBB cycle.

The US government is going through a ZBB right now. And that is necessary because spending is out of control. The complexity is so vast that I expect it will take AI to decipher.

You cannot tell me that a government that accidentally wires hundreds of millions of dollars to the Taliban has its finances in order. That signals an underlying disaster. That signals bad stewardship of resources.

In fact, it is a disaster. Over the last 20 fiscal years, the US government has made ~$2.7 trillion in "improper payments," according to the US Government Accountability Office. Trillion! With a T!

That financial management disaster was not caused by @elonmusk. And there is no painless way to clean it up.

Elon is doing what any executive would do walking into a giant mess. You ZBB and then build back.

So, I don’t believe that America is going to be on the wrong side of global right and wrong, as some are saying. I don’t believe that America is going to be permanently isolationist. I do believe that unwatched finances will get out of control in any human system, and that the GAO has been trying to ring this bell for years, and that scaled complexity requires scaled financial management.

Because the US has the largest budget in the world, it will now go through the single most complex ZBB ever undertaken in the history of the world.

Some states do ZBB, but it's never been done at the federal level. President Jimmy Carter tried, but the bureaucratic systems were too complex, and President Ronald Reagan abandoned the attempt.

So, if there is one person in the world chosen to lead this Grand Canyon of projects, we would hope for the president to choose one of the best capital allocators on the planet. Better if that human is also one who can leverage AI and technical talent to manage the massive complexity.

Anyone who has lived through a ZBB at the corporate level will tell you that it’s hell and everyone hates it. This is why I feel really bad for federal workers -- I have a lot of empathy for civil servants and people doing a great job every day for the United States. No doubt, the uncertainty is trying and stressful for many. It's an unfortunate situation.

So, that's my take. I don't want to speak beyond what I know and can observe from the other side of the country. I've worked both in the private sector and the public sector -- the cultures are different. And an Elon-Musk-style culture is going to be the most hard core of them all. No doubt, it's jarring. It's gonna be a lot.

But what I also know is that every time I have ever doubted Elon, I ended up being the one who was wrong.

Nothing like getting “fact checked” by the people Kamala literally just lied about during the debate, and the moderators let her do it!

How in the f*ck do you not know we have active men and women in the military in combat zone overseas!

Wait for it… 👇

@901Meg So we agree men can’t become woman correct?

[michael shoemaker @Shoedalla]

This shouldn’t even be a discussion

[michael shoemaker @Shoedalla]

@901Meg I’m glad the only thing wrong with anything I said is my spelling.
