People everywhere have had enough. Henry Nowak.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

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.

On the bright side, big families are lower stress. Being a 1-2 kid household felt like trying to be DINKS but with complications. Become a big family and everything shifts. You're no longer forcing something that never worked anyway. You're all in on family, working at scale.

Right war, maybe the wrong president. The war against the Islamic regime in Iran is the right decision, but it is being led with the wrong strategy. Negotiating with a terrorist regime is seen by many allies as a betrayal. Offering Iranian assets to compensate Gulf countries for Tehran-linked damage looks less like a solution and more like paying for a temporary ceasefire. The Islamic regime in Iran attacks the region for decades, funds militias, launches missiles and drones, threatens global shipping, and then the solution is to hand over some of its frozen assets and call it peace?

That's not strategy. That's paying the arsonist to stop playing with matches. The regime's assets would not cover a single day of the damage it has caused across the Gulf.

If the regime is the problem, why keep negotiating with the problem? Why save the virus instead of curing the disease?
The Iranian people deserve freedom. The region deserves security. The world deserves a solution that lasts longer than the next press conference.

I greatly admire Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, who transformed his small island nation into one of the world’s economic powerhouses. He understood that liberty and order are flip sides of the same coin, and that liberty without order is anarchy and order without liberty is tyranny. I wanted to pay tribute to him while in Singapore, but he expressly disavowed any interest in a statue or monument. So I paid my respects by visiting a spot that he cherished, the National Orchid Garden, to admire the hybrid variety named after him. What a magnificent memorial for one of the great men of the past century. 🇺🇸🤝🇸🇬

The same country that put humans on the Moon in 1969 now takes an average of 4.5 years to approve major infrastructure permits.. longer than it took to build the Panama Canal. 

Transmission lines average 10 years from permitting to completion. The bottleneck to abundance is not technology, but BUREAUCRACY!

Every year, Tim Tebow hosts a red carpet event celebrating the humanity of people with disabilities, including those with Down syndrome.

In a culture that too often erases people with disabilities, events like this reflect their God-given dignity and immeasurable worth.

An inability does not determine a person’s humanity.

Helpful tool for improvement. It’s just physics thinking in the limit.

[Adeo Ressi @adeoressi]

I organized an intervention to stop Elon from starting SpaceX. Here is the story...

Twenty five years ago, Elon and I sat in a car on a dark stretch of Long Island highway, two neurodiverse geeks staring at the night sky and wondering what came next. We had both experienced substantial exits and felt the weight of possibility ahead of us.

When I joked about 'space' while gazing upward, neither of us imagined we were planting the seed for what would become the largest IPO in history. We spent the next two hours debating why space was so hard. In the end, rockets are fuel and metal. We also debated where to go, and it was crystal clear that Mars was the only real destination.

Upon returning to NYC, we embarked on a global tour of space, meeting space agencies and luminaries worldwide. This opened our eyes to an industry stuck in bureaucratic thinking. If things continued at that pace, it was clear that we would never explore space in our lifetime.

So, we launched Life to Mars to show the world that two ambitious young men (29 and 30 years old), could send life to Mars without any government backing or support. We planned to send and grow plants on Mars, though some were pushing us to send mice.

We had a $50 MM budget that rested on our purchase of two Russian ICBMs for $7 MM each. We assumed one ICBM would fail, and we would learn and fix everything before launching again. When Elon went back to actually buy the ICBMs, the Russians tripled the price, bringing out launch costs from a total of $14 MM to $42 MM.

Our ambitious Life to Mars plan was no longer viable.

As you might imagine, Elon was not pleased. So, he decided to start SpaceX and create his own Mars rockets. Now, this is a crazy idea, both now and at the time, so I organized a large panel of top space experts, and we ambushed him at the Georgian Hotel one morning. It was set up like an intervention for an alcoholic, but for space.

Elon looked me in the eye when leaving the room and said, "I am going to do this." The intervention failed. Elon was committed. The rest is history.

I am excited to see this IPO after 25 years of hard work. What SpaceX has done is a testament to human will and overcoming insurmountable obstacles. It's nothing short of amazing.

Congratulations, E. Amazing.

Given today's high rates of singles and childlessness, a two-child-norm always leads to low birthrates.

In my newest article, I argue that large family norms are essential now, to make up for everyone not having kids. Please share!

This is Henry Nowak’s family

He had an older sister and two baby siblings

“Henry did nothing wrong. He was one of the kindest, friendliest… person you’ll ever meet.”

Never forget what they did

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

[Saggezza Eterna @FinalTelegraph]

This agonizing footage exposes a lethal purposeful failure of institutional duty, yet the silence from the professional grievance industry is absolute. The radical left spent years pretending "I can't breathe" was a sacred blueprint for systemic reform. Their total indifference to Henry Nowak proves they view human suffering strictly through the lens of political utility. Because he lacks the identity markers required to advance an intersectional narrative, his death fails to serve the corporate media script. This tragedy completely strips the left of their alleged moral authority, revealing that their crusade against state overreach is a highly selective, deeply cynical play for power.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

While I’m no fan of socialism or arbitrary confiscations of wealth, I can see why Bernie Sanders’ proposal (for the government to take a 50% stake in AI companies) resonates, including with many on the right.

The CEOs of the leading AI labs have told us repeatedly that they will cause massive job loss. This is not a story that I believe, nor does the data bear it out, but this is what they have told us. Similarly, they have hyped the risks of AI without putting an equal or greater emphasis on the benefits or readily available mitigations.

Conservatives have another fear. The employees of the leading labs claim to be philanthropic, but what we’ve seen is massive enrichment of NGOs advancing an agenda at odds with traditional values, fueling a revolution against our cities and communities. Soros-maxxing is not charity in our book.

Anthropic and OpenAI have established themselves as Public Benefit Corporations. What could be more in the public benefit than using half the wealth generated by these companies (which trained for free on the collective knowledge of humanity) to pay down the national debt? There is no ideological bias in that philanthropy.

Dario and Sam have begun to walk back their claims of massive job loss, but the damage to public trust is done, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. I could almost support the Sanders proposal as a stupidity tax.

There’s just one problem. Nationalization of AI will accelerate the corporate-government fusion we’re already sliding toward. Conservatives rightly fear a Central Bank Digital Currency. They ought to be even more concerned about Central Government AI — a system with even more totalistic power over information, decision-making, and human behavior.

We saw how social media was weaponized to censor conservatives (including President Trump) in the last Democrat administration. The definition of “trust & safety” expanded to mean protecting the public from supposed psychological harms, micro-aggressions, and disinformation (you know, like hearing conservative ideas or true facts about Covid).

That “safety” agenda as applied to AI will be vastly more powerful and Orwellian. AI won’t just moderate posts; it will curate reality — with the ability to rewrite history, enforce ideological conformity, influence policy at scale, mass surveil Americans, and condition the benefits of the many systems it controls on approved behavior.

America won’t win the AI race if we beat China but end up with a CCP-style social credit system in the U.S. — and that is the danger as the government becomes more deeply involved in AI development and assumes direct ownership and control.

Conservatives are right to fear where this is all headed but ought to think more carefully about how regulations they are flirting with now (that are widely celebrated among those with a long history of lust for Big Government) will be used against them the next time a Democrat administration is in power.

Send the video to everyone you know showing how heinously Nowak was treated by the police in his dying moments and how the police cravenly kowtowed to his murderer.

Legacy mainstream media, same ones who wrote about George Floyd millions of times, are dead silent about Nowak.

A sovereign Ukraine and a free Iran will replace chaos with peace for our regions and the world.
