Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and leave your expectations behind.

We projected the recently released renderings of Starbase, Lousiana, to provide a sense of the sheer scale of the project.
SpaceX's plan depicted consists of ten launch sites, in five pairs. Each pair is about 1.5mi (2.5km) apart.

The production site is over 2km long, and the Starfactory alone has a floor space of over 7.6 million square feet (629,000 sq m). The Gigabay (if, it is still called that!) is over four times the area of the existing Gigabay design.

The whole site measures over 12 miles (20km) in length and takes up an area of roughly 14,000 acres.

Starbase, Lousiana is set to begin construction next year, with the first launch in 2029.

This is LONG overdue…

During the Ellis Island era, anyone likely to become a "public charge" was denied entry.

At this point in American history, as a fully developed nation with modern welfare programs, immigration should be extremely restrictive. Only the best of the best.

15 - 17 announced pads, and 3 factories announced pre-orbit. 😂

Nobody knows what’s coming man

The new mail-in ballot procedure isn’t something to be afraid of. It works like this:

1. The state provides a list of the ballots they intend to mail out.

2. USPS assigns a unique barcode to each.

3. When the ballot is mailed out, this barcode is scanned to ensure uniqueness and that it matches. If there is no match or it’s a duplicate, it is not delivered.

4. When the voter mails the ballot back, the USPS scans it again and checks to make sure it matches what went out and isn’t a duplicate. Any ballots that don’t match won’t be delivered.

5. This is all done on the exterior envelope. The USPS isn’t determining eligibility or deciding who gets a ballot. They can’t see the actual votes. They are essentially just ensuring there are no duplicates, that the number mailed in isn’t greater than the number mailed out, and that the person mailing one in was the same person who received them.

This is a common sense solution and is completely reasonable.

Why would anyone oppose it unless their intention is to cheat?

“Since April 2025, more than 24,000 cases have been identified by SAVE as potential non-U.S. citizens who were on voter rolls, and those cases have been referred to ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) for further investigation.”

@marceelias Our voting system is already steeped in “chaos and uncertainty”. Ballot stuffing, “vouching”, and dead people, non-residents, and illegal aliens on voter roles. The states have proven that they are unreliable in self policing. This is why the federal government exists.

[Archaer @arch_aer]

@ChrisPappasNH Americans deserve secure elections. Your combativeness against basic rules that would improve confidence in our electoral system exposes your need for fraudulent, unregulated, unenforceable, and manipulatable systems. Americans deserve better.

@CAgovernor Democrats whenever you ask them to implement basic rules to secure our elections:

[Archaer @arch_aer]

@SpeakerPelosi Your ballot stuffers aren’t coming to save you this time.

[Archaer @arch_aer]

@RepAprilDelaney We will have secure elections no matter how hard you fight against them. We will win.

Every day we see layoffs at major American companies.

Then we see these same companies hiring foreigners on H-1B visas.

There should not be one H-1B visa issued to any company that lays off Americans. Not. One.

Someone please tell Bernie that even if the US were to ban data centers, the data centers will simply be built somewhere else.

Which means that the US would willingly:

a) give up a ton of new blue collar jobs that would build these data centers
c) hand China the path to become the world’s dominant super power because they would simply gobble up the entire AI token supply chain
c) remove a forcing function to drastically increase the supply of power and
d) give up the only pathway for abundant and free energy long term.

At this point one has to wonder if Bernie is actually being funded by China.

Magnificent artists.

Beauty is obvious, ugliness requires a lecture. No need for anything else to be said.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

Bernie is actively bragging about misleading 75% of the population into believing abject lies that undermine the country.

@BernieSanders The CCP thanks you for your service.
