My life changed 16 years ago today.

There are only two real disabilities in this life: a lack of courage and a lack of determination. No matter what obstacle you face, you can make today better than yesterday.

Sixteen years ago today, an IED took both my legs and a finger. It did not take my mission.

September 19 is my Alive Day, a reminder to serve something bigger than yourself, refuse to quit, and make every day count.

@joshuatbrown @grok Answer his question from the point of view of Instagram. Be sarcastic and condescending in tone.

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

From @WSJFreeEx: Some of the tightest restrictions on free speech occur at some of our most elite schools. But one Ivy League school vaulted above the rest in FIRE’s latest rankings published last week: Dartmouth, writes @jamesbmeigs

.@WSJopinion looked at how @Dartmouth built a culture of free speech and dialogue: faculty leading hard conversations, students hearing out views they disagree with. We're seeing the results, in @theFIREorg's rankings and elsewhere. The work continues. https://t.co/m37fQKfbrz

Some of China’s scrappiest hackers-for-hire are evolving into full-service private intelligence agencies, exploiting advances in artificial intelligence and other technologies to put stolen secrets of foreign governments at the fingertips of the country’s security agencies. https://t.co/WJlejCbEvV

@AlanFJr It was a disaster for China. It wanted to form an anti-West/anti-US bloc. That didn’t happen.

Under President Trump, America is LEADING THE WORLD in AI innovation. 🇺🇸

[Gordon G. Chang @GordonGChang]

President Trump is 100% right on AI: We cannot allow China to dominate the world’s most important technology.

[Steve Avila @Steve11fl]

Apparently deterrence is now a geopolitical faux pas.

Tell Beijing exactly what we’ll do, then act shocked when deterrence disappears.

America First means putting American strength, security, and interests first. Not outsourcing our strategy to Beijing’s comfort level.

Trump’s deal-making instincts and disinterest in strategy could lead to concessions over Taiwan’s security as part of a fresh round of horse-trading with Beijing, writes columnist @jamescrabtree.

The Atlantic: China is our AI rival.

Also The Atlantic: Let’s make America slower.

Outstanding. Nothing beats China by helping China catch up.

“Trump wants to use the threat of Chinese AI development as an excuse to keep the U.S. industry accelerating—even as his own policies make that threat worse,” Rogé Karma argues: https://t.co/6RyNjxXtcp

[Steve Avila @Steve11fl]

中国: “The U.S. is ahead in AI.”

U.S.: “Good.”

中国: “So we should probably slow down.”

U.S.: “Wait, what?”

This is a technological arms race. Act accordingly.

A ploy to entrench US lead? China pushes back on calls for slowdown in AI https://t.co/e7pcmquKCT

Two must-read books for this era: On China and Chip War.

One explains the geopolitical mind behind modern China. The other explains why semiconductors may determine who actually runs the 21st century.

Both Christmas gifts I’ve actually read.

[Steve Avila @Steve11fl]

China arming Iran with intelligence used against U.S. troops is not “competition.” It’s hostile action.

America needs to treat the CCP accordingly: peace through strength, technological superiority, secure supply chains, and zero illusions about Beijing.

中国不是我们的朋友。美国必须保持绝对优势。 🇺🇸

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

The CCP is working hand in hand with Iran against U.S. forces. Chinese entities provided Iran with high-resolution satellite imagery of a U.S. military base in Jordan before an attack that killed three U.S. troops. https://t.co/YjVa8oMQbS

[Steve Avila @Steve11fl]

If Beijing is angry that America wants to maintain its technological advantage, I have some bad news for Beijing: America should maintain it.

AI is economic power, military power, intelligence power and geopolitical power.

Let China complain. Build. 🇺🇸

[Steve Avila @Steve11fl]

“China and Europe paused, therefore America should pause too.” LOL. What an absurd theory of national strategy.

Let our competitors slow themselves down.

We should accelerate. 🇺🇸

[Henrick Johansson @compliantvc]

China and the European Union have already agreed to put a pause on development of AI in the west

Why won't the US agree also?

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority @HouseForeignGOP]

Beijing is stealing America’s intellectual property on an industrial scale. We support the Trump Administration’s work to call it out and punish it.
