Growing up I was an avid Roadrunner and Coyote fan to the point I asked for an ACME catalog every year for Christmas. Seeing the trailer for @CoyoteACMEMovie brought back fond memories of my childhood. I’m really looking forward to August 28th!

Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.

Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.

Pass it on.

Marc Andreessen just explained how the United States assassinated its own future.

In the 1970s, the Nixon administration launched something called Project Independence.

The mandate was absolute.

Andreessen: “Build a thousand new civilian nuclear power plants in the US by the year 2000.”

One thousand reactors. Unlimited, carbon-free baseload power. Enough electricity to move the entire country to electric vehicles four decades ahead of everyone else.

But it went further than energy.

Andreessen: “It’s called Project Independence because it means the US won’t have to be involved in the Middle East anymore, because we won’t need the oil.”

No oil dependence. No Gulf Wars. No generations of soldiers stationed in deserts protecting supply chains that never needed to exist.

A complete strategic withdrawal from the Middle East. Permanent.

And none of this was hypothetical.

Andreessen: “France ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power. Japan ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power.”

Other nations proved it worked at scale. America had more capital, more engineers, and more ambition than all of them.

Andreessen: “How many nuclear power plants were built out of the thousand? Rounds to zero.”

Zero.

Not because the physics failed. Not because something superior replaced it.

Because the same administration that drafted the blueprint for unlimited energy also created the institution that killed it.

Andreessen: “They never got built because the Nixon administration also created the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which made it its purpose in life is to stop nuclear power plants from getting built.”

Same government. Same decade. Same pen.

One directive launching the most ambitious energy program in American history.

Another creating the bureaucracy that would quietly dismantle it from the inside.

Andreessen: “The Nuclear Regulatory Commission did not approve a new nuclear plant design for 40 years.”

Forty years of zero approved designs. Not because no one submitted them. Because the institution built to regulate nuclear energy became the institution built to prevent it.

That’s not oversight.

That’s abolition dressed as due diligence.

We spent the next fifty years fighting wars in the desert for a resource we never needed.

Choked the atmosphere with carbon we didn’t have to burn.

Terrified an entire generation with the illusion of scarcity.

And the entire time, the physics already worked.

The government didn’t fail to navigate the energy crisis.

They took the densest source of energy in the universe and drowned it in paperwork.

Every war fought for oil. Every carbon debate. Every geopolitical crisis of the last half century.

All of it was a policy choice.

We didn’t lack the technology to power the future.

We let a committee outlaw the math.

Hello Mr. Hunter Biden,

You're getting six-digit likes on every post lately. I don't have any hope to ratio you or whatever through traditional "Hello" means.

But for those uninitiated, those who are captivated by your fake-humble persona obviously PR-engineered to capture unsuspecting disaffected Republicans:

You are not some humility, witty guy turning over a new leaf. You are the ultimate proof of nepotism, everything that the so-called "Epstein Class" is supposed to represent.

Let me explain - off the top of my head.

You were a board member of USGLC. U.S. Global Leadership Coalition. The most powerful NGO that nobody's ever heard of. Last year, I documented in several threads, how Liz Schrayer, USGLC lead, took credit for ramming through a 90 billion dollar bill for Ukraine in 2024, even as @mattvanswol demonstrated that Western North Carolina got zero help in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because FEMA threw up their hands and said they ran out of funds.

USGLC, arguably, is the most powerful NGO that nobody has ever heard of. It includes a bunch of corporations, a bunch of nonprofit leads, and ... for some magical reason, I documented, extensively, linked, that Liz Schrayer started pursuing you in 2012. During the Obama years, when you were Biden's son. Are you a former Secretary of State? No. Are you a CEO of a Fortune 500 company? No. That puts you below the average USGLC board member, by a good tier.

So what DID get you on USGLC? The only reason: that you were the son of a sitting Vice President known for corruption, and you yourself were known for corruption.

You are not "folksy." You are the worst of the worst of the elite. Most of the elite, at least, get their credentials through Georgetown/George Washington/Harvard Kennedy. You got yours purely on nepotism. Any photographs you have of yourself at motels is proof that you are so incompetent that you waste all your money, not that you come from humble beginnings. Because others like @MarcoPolo501c3 have thoroughly documented that you benefited a great deal from your nepotism.

You even tried to bait those in with saying you prefer to keep immigration "legal" - but we all know the trap that keeps illegal immgrants here: outlaw deportations, and make every immigrant case "asylum", and magically, everyone who might've been here illegally a few years ago is legal.

You may get 175K likes on your semi-subverting, PR-designed photographs. But those of us who know, know you're fake.

@WatchesWinWars Go read USAF Col John Boyd’s “To be or to do” ultimatum and live it everyday.

[Rich Harrison @harrisonre]

@Wee_K24 @Simon_Ingari HR was simply avoiding corporate liability and lawsuit exposure. After your return and when you’ve been released, all bets are off if the manager wants to manage you out.

[Rich Harrison @harrisonre]

It really seems the transistion from Colonel to Flag rank is a line of demarcation between people who "get shit done" and people who "talk shit but rarely get shit done."

Perhaps one of the greatest examples is USAF Colonel John Boyd... and his "To Be or To Do" ultimatum should be required reading for everyone. Boyd got shit done.

The Mayor of Charlotte is demanding people stop posting this reminder of the lovely innocent Iryna Zarutska butchered by a savage on Charlotte public transit. He was on probation by a liberal activist judge.

@dpoddolphinpro Starlink is the Highlander of satellite communication systems to date. It IS the only serious contended now and for the foreseeable future.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

Vice Admiral Mike Franken just proved exactly why so many Americans despise retired flag officers who chase politics: he smeared a combat veteran as a “Bot which never did or ever will serve.”

In essence, this DEI baby with his rank in his handle, just falsely accused a retired Army Colonel of “Stolen Valor.” The ultimate insult to a vet. That “bot” is a retired Army Colonel with multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne. Real boots, real blood, real service.

I know, CP, he’s legit Army. I know people like Franken, too, he’s just another Perfumed Prince who made his career on the backs of better me.

Franken, you worthless POS, you impugned the honor of a fellow veteran without a shred of due diligence.

That’s not leadership—it’s disgraceful, lazy hackery from a man who once wore the uniform. You owe Colonel @CynicalPublius a public apology.

But we both know admirals like you rarely have the integrity to give one.

@RightWingJewess @DawnTammenBrown Now that’s funny… I’ve personally seen multiple 8+ foot rattle snakes on the banks of the Brunswick nuclear station discharge canal and run over more than one copperhead delivering newspapers in “downtown Southport.”
