What a price my Savior and King paid, to save my soul. I learned the hard way, a life without Him is no life. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for rescuing me from myself and my sin. On this Good Friday we can find joy in the cruel cross for what we know comes in three days.
@EmeseLindstrom@SecWar@WhiteHouse This is a worldwide problem that takes years to fix. Dealing with potential symptoms in the meanwhile especially as an optional test, is a good thing. “I can’t fix so the hunger, so you shouldn’t give your kids any food either!” Is what you sound like.
@dontdemdownsrq@SecWar By saying this the assumption is that low T is a diss and a negative thing. In which case why would you be against him solving this problem as an optional test?
@SecWar People against this have no clue that there is already lots of data about certain training programs like ranger school reducing T to a high degree fairly regularly. And lots of men already want these screenings. It’s a helpful tool long overdue by popular demand within the ranks.
I literally can’t believe what I just heard
Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator says they were filming in Florida and “We had 51 guys show up in 6 days”
51 adults caught going to meet underage children caught IN JUST 6 DAYS
- One guy showed up at the county jail to pick up a 14-year-old girl, he wants to pick her up and sexually exploit her
- One guy showed up at a Target to meet who he thought was a dad offering up his 7 and 14 year-old son
“And if you saw this guy in Target standing in line, he doesn't stick out of the crowd. You wouldn't have even thought twice about this guy being dangerous”
To Catch a Predator show ended but Chris Hanson is still doing the work on his new show ‘Takedown with Chris Hensen’
The work he’s done across his shows has already led to over 500 arrests
Think of how many child predators are really in America, especially if 51 showed up in one county in only 6 days
We have a major problem
They say “America has no culture” and what they mean is that the Constitution and Bill of Rights, English common law, the language itself, Thanksgiving and the 4th of July, the nuclear family, the work ethic, rock n roll, country, plus every innovation that turned this place into the world’s superpower don’t count as real culture.
It’s just “whiteness,” this blank or oppressive thing that exists only to be critiqued and replaced.
And this line has become so dominant, so institutionalized in schools, media, HR departments, and elite culture that it’s now the standard water everybody swims in.
Most people don’t even clock it anymore because it’s treated like obvious truth instead of the radical self-erasure project it actually is.
But this isn’t a good faith argument at all, and it carries clear ulterior motives to justify the erasure of America’s historic core and the people who built it.
Because once you get Americans to accept that their culture is either nonexistent or evil, then mass demographic change, open borders, and tearing down the old traditions suddenly look like moral progress instead of an existential attack on everything that made the country function in the first place.
The reality though is that America has one of the strongest and most distinctive cultures on earth, forged from Western and Christian roots and supercharged by liberty and merit.
And the World Cup visitors are reminding us of exactly that right now.
Germans are going viral saying if you want to hate America watch the news but drive through it and meet the actual people.
Europeans are shocked by how genuinely warm, friendly, and generous Americans are in real life and can’t stop talking about the hospitality and customer service.
Japanese fans are writing poetry about unlimited free chips and salsa, while others are losing it over Texas brisket, ranch dressing on everything, Waffle House at 2 am, Buc-ee’s, the ridiculous size of Walmart, and free drink refills that never end.
These outsiders are cutting straight through the institutionalized narrative and showing us what we’ve been gaslit into taking for granted, and that is an abundant, open, high trust, high energy culture that actually works. Americans built it, they live it every day, and they are not apologizing for it or handing it over.
In South Africa, 5000 children under the age of three are raped every year. That’s more than 13 children per day.
When the victim is that young, the physical damage is tremendous, and is frequently unsurvivable. Even when the child does not die, they face years of painful reconstructive surgeries, and will never be able to have children or enjoy normal intercourse as adults.
In some cases, the rapes are committed in an attempt to cure the perpetrator of HIV, as intercourse with a virgin is believed in some places to provide a cure.
Now that I’m out of government, I can finally respond for myself: Get bent, soyboy. We didn’t do this for “Silicon Valley . . . companies.” We did this for you, for your family, your community, your state, your nation, and your species.
Nuclear energy provides the safest, highest density, reliable power available on our planet. My career colleagues at DOE and NRC inspired me to think about nuclear as a way to forge American steel and electrolyze aluminum without releasing particulate matter, to desalinate water in the Middle East and save humanity from resource wars. By rejecting the false narratives and Cold War hysteria, we can secure the next American century while raising whole countries out of poverty.
Do you really think I left an incredible career at Kirkland, paid out of pocket for an apartment in DC and dozens of cross-country trips, and left my family on the west coast because I wanted to enrich people I never met before taking this job? I came to D.C. to do something that mattered, to satisfy a driving curiosity (more on that later), and, most importantly, to serve.
As I learned more about nuclear energy and its history, I developed a conviction that one nuclear’s biggest issues was a culture of cynicism: nothing new or exciting could happen because it would end in disappointment, and that militated against rocking the boat even a tiny bit. The career staff in government and their industry counterparts lived through dark winters before and stopped believing that warm springs could bloom into summers.
I have two core philosophies. First, I believe in ruthless optimism. Rational decision making requires detached risk analysis. But we also cannot win if we believe we can lose. Merging the two requires orienting teams around driving missions. That way, when a real opportunity presents itself, you can take a huge swing.
If I take credit for anything—honestly, almost all of the success belongs to the incredible and dedicated people at @ENERGY and @NRCgov—it’s countering the cultural rot and morass that risked forfeiting American excellence. My colleagues and I gave cover to the scientists and engineers, which freed them up to focus on delivering safe power. And, as success materialized, they started to dream again. That’s why the pilot program succeeded, and why I feel confident about the future of NLICs and NRC reform. Nobody needs me anymore because they can innovate on their own.
My second core philosophy is to assume positive intent. Avi, I know that you heard about my real motivations from multiple people you interviewed when preparing your hit piece on me. Rather than telling that story, one which could help inspire another generation of people to use their talents for the greater good, you ignored them. Instead, you implied that Peter Thiel recruited me for nefarious purposes. (I’ve never met him, but, @peterthiel, if you’re reading this, I’m a huge fan!)
Nuclear regulation starts and ends with safety. I promised everyone I worked with that I would resign before doing or pushing for anything that could compromise public safety. But I also distinguished between real safety and performative bullshit. That’s what the careers came to embrace, too. We love nuclear, why would we do anything that could risk threatening its future?
America faces a crossroads. We can either trod a road of cultural decay or hike our way back to the peak of global innovation. Join me on the latter path. Correct the fear mongering and conspiracies and tell the story of America’s great reindustrialization. Tell the story of our public servants, our great entrepreneurs, our scientific dominance. Tell the real story about how DOGE went nuclear.

All three were stabbed to death in their California home.
The accused: Joaquin Escoto, an illegal immigrant who prosecutors say had been deported multiple times before.
Reports say he grinned in court as the victims’ devastated family watched.
DHS says Escoto was arrested for DUI just months earlier, and ICE had lodged a detainer.
Yet California reportedly released instead of being turned over to federal authorities.
Three generations of one family are gone forever.

The question isn’t whether this tragedy should have happened.
It’s whether it could have been prevented.

“We have one group that we broke up that these young ladies are claiming they were raped 600-700 times…We have one that we just broke up recently that was a ring of people that had kept these kids down in a tunnel. You couldn’t write a horror story about how bad this was, couldn’t write a horror story. It’s stuff that I’ll never forget.” —@SecMullinDHS on saving missing migrant children smuggled in under the Biden Administration
