A happy PR exec, wife, step-mom, advocate, animal lover & pathetic but passionate gardener. Equally comfortable at a tractor pull as in The White House.
@WillCainShow@willcain The flowers you just mentioned left outside Hakim’s office were WHITE
LILLIES - the flower of funerals. Was that gift actually an implied threat to him and/or the “old” Dem party ie) “You’re dead” or “Prepare to die”? OMG. 😱
Elon Musk cried on national television when his childhood heroes called him a fraud.
Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan, the first and last men to walk on the moon, publicly testified against SpaceX. They said Musk was reckless. That private spaceflight was dangerous. That he was going to get people killed. They asked Congress to shut him down.
These were the men Musk grew up worshipping. The posters on his wall. The reason he built rockets in the first place. And they went on television and said he was a disgrace to space exploration.
In a 60 Minutes interview shortly after, Musk was asked about it. He started speaking and his voice broke. His eyes filled. He couldn't finish the sentence. The richest man in tech, the guy who argues with regulators and fires engineers mid-meeting, sat on camera and cried because his heroes rejected him.
He didn't stop building. He didn't change direction. He didn't even respond to them publicly. He just kept launching rockets until the rockets proved him right.
Armstrong never lived to see SpaceX land a booster. Cernan never saw Starship. The men who said it couldn't be done died before the man they doubted did it.
Most people need approval from the people they admire before they act. Musk got the opposite of approval and acted anyway. That's the gap. Not talent. Not money. The willingness to keep building while the people you love most tell you to stop.
@atensnut It’s insane. It happened in October and barely a blip on the news radar outside NC. All over a parking spot - he said the driver parked too close to his car.
🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!

@PaulDMauro We’re in the starting blocks too… and yep, NY business owner, here w husband in LE. Disgusted by the Hochul/Mandami Experience: Beyond the taxes and corruption, the hypocrisy is shameless and appalling.
@aditya_kc0@KarenDavid47792@cenkuygur Hard to take seriously someone who doesn’t even know how to spell Israel correctly. You’re just an antisemite. Period.
Vivek asked about aid to Israel.
At a time when other politicians are failing these basic tests, he handles it perfectly:
1) Says he's always been for phasing out aid, and in fact he was the only major candidate taking that position in the 2020 primary
2) Says there is something unhealthy about being obsessed with this question when it's not that big a part of the budget
3) Argues against telling people that Israel is source of their problems (as is implicit in the question translating aid to Israel into a grab bag of social welfare programs)
When you go to TPUSA events now, Israel apparently makes up a huge portion of questions. It is a completely disproportionate and unhealthy focus, and of course antisemitism is the motivating force. It's also tied to victimhood mentality and a turn away from individual liberty and free markets ("those could our handouts!"). You can be against aid but also point out what is going on here.
Notice the end also when she asks him about lobbying Congress. His answer: I'm running to be governor of Ohio, that's not going to be my job. The expectation that people at all levels of government make opposing aid to Israel a top priority is another indication that this is about antisemitism. You can take whatever position you want, but you can't be afraid to shine a light on this, or otherwise Groyperism will win.

The President of the United States was just the target of another assassin attempt tonight…but he called me just now to check in to see how I was doing because my mom died on Wednesday.
We were there front and center.
That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government.
After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.
@ScanticAntiques@JonathanTurley No. Not all are being paid. Try using actual research instead of relying on AI which is loaded via prompts to find your information.
