After 7 FUCKING YEARS, I finally got that red-pill down my father's throat, and Joe M's video was the water that washed it down.
"OMG that video was amazing!" - Dad
Think im gonna have a good night's sleep tonight.
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.
I'm ready to RUN THROUGH A BRICK WALL after reading this.
"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."
1% of people account for 63% of all violent crimes.
0.2% of people ever commit murder, and **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests
You can literally just fix crime by not tolerating people who show a history of being destructive to society.
Whether #silver reaches $50, $100, or $300 is almost secondary.
The real opportunity is recognizing that a small market facing persistent deficits can reprice dramatically when capital returns.
Positioning matters more than prediction. 🚀
Pulte is legit about to 'Scaramucci Model' the Intel community. This is going to hit like a bomb.
In related news, Trump is simultaneously hunkered down at Camp David. Somewhere he doesn't particularly care to be. Makes you wonder who else might be joining him, away from prying eyes.
Oh, and John Solomon just announced yesterday that he's oddly/temporarily going to step down from his position as Editor for his own media company to assist the federal govt in managing docs being released to the public (DECLAS) related to govt weaponization and election integrity.
Probably nothing. 😎
🚨MICHAEL OLIVER WALKS AWAY FROM TWITTER “UNTIL CHRISTMAS” 👀
⚠️OLIVER STILL EXPECTS NEW ATH’S IN 2026- BUT TIMELINE MOVED BACK FROM END OF SUMMER UNTIL CHRISTMAS
“ Besides sharing some interviews, we'll take a break from Twitter until Christmas.
Gold and silver will end this year at new ATH and continue higher.
The "market" is always wrong.
The Federal Reserve, the progenitors of inflation, the prison wardens...will never and have never "solved" inflation. But go ahead, believe Kevin, panic sell your gold!
We'll be back on Twitter at the end of the year. Should be fun.”

American 250 is about the founding of a nation. Pride is about a lifestyle.
