Comparing the California High Speed Rail to Elon Musk’s SpaceX
This is how criminally inefficient California's bureaucracy has become
- The California High-Speed Rail Authority is 6 years older than SpaceX
- Total private funding for SpaceX was $12 billion, whereas California's high-speed rail is projected to cost $231 billion by the time it's completed (That's 2,000% more funding than SpaceX had)
In the same amount of time, California has laid zero miles of high-speed rails while SpaceX has developed a reusable rocket, delivered astronauts and saved astronauts from the International Space Station, and as of today has a $2.5 trillion market cap
Elon Musk will literally have been able to send people to Mars at a fraction of the cost and at a fraction of the amount of time that it's taken Gavin Newsom just to send Californians up the coast
"This will be a flyover on July 4th I think I can say the likes of which we've never seen before."
President Trump says America's 250th anniversary celebration on July 4th will feature a massive military flyover over the U.S. Capitol and White House, led by the newly refurbished Air Force One.
Trump said the event will include F-22s, F-35s and other military aircraft, adding that military pilots are "all fighting to do it."
"We're gonna have a lot of planes flying over the Capitol and over the White House," Trump said.
I did not see this one coming. BREAKING NEWS folks!
Midjourney, yes the AI image company, just launched a real medical device that feels like it's straight out of Star Trek.
https://t.co/LSs2zbYViM
They’ve unveiled the Midjourney Scanner, the first working prototype of Full Body Ultrasonic Computational Tomography. It uses a ring of thousands of tiny transducers to fire ultra-precise sound waves through the body. The returning echoes are captured at a staggering 17 gigabytes per second, and the 806 terabytes of gathered data are then reconstructed by a 2 petaflop compute system into a highly detailed 3D map of your entire internal anatomy — organs, tissues, blood vessels, etc., in 60 seconds.
The resolution is extreme: each sensor can resolves motion smaller than the width of an atom, detecting internal tissue details down to half a millimeter. And unlike MRI or CT scans, it uses no radiation, just sound. Think of it like getting an ultrasound from the 22nd century.
The ambition is breathtaking. Midjourney wants to build a fleet of 50,000 of these scanners, capable of delivering a billion full body scans per month. That's enough to make comprehensive full body imaging available to every person on Earth.
They’re not hiding it in cold, clinical hospitals either. The vision includes placing these scanners inside what look like Midjourney spas, turning what’s usually an annoying medical procedure into something genuinely pleasant.
This is Star Trek level healthcare infrastructure: fast, safe, non-invasive full body imaging at planetary scale. If they pull it off, it could fundamentally shift medicine from reactive treatment to proactive, early detection on a global level.
Progress (and Midjourney going full medical) marches on. 🩺🚀
A Model Y driver started experiencing a medical emergency with chest pain mid-drive & called his son.
His son then remotely rerouted the car – which had FSD Supervised enabled – to the nearest hospital & let them know the vehicle was en route. ER staff were standing by on arrival.
Doctors later confirmed the quick reroute likely saved his life.
When Secretariat died in 1989, the legend seemed complete, until the necropsy revealed the secret behind his impossible power.
Inside his chest was a heart that stunned veterinarians: an estimated 22 pounds, nearly two and a half times the size of a normal Thoroughbred’s.
It wasn’t diseased.
It wasn’t abnormal.
It was perfect.
Every chamber balanced, every wall strong, the anatomical masterpiece of nature’s own design.
That massive heart pumped oxygen-rich blood with unmatched efficiency, feeding muscles that never seemed to tire.
It was, quite literally, the tremendous machine that carried him beyond limits.
When he ran, his stride measured at nearly 25 feet, became an extension of that engine.
At full speed, his heart could circulate his entire blood volume twice in a single minute.
It’s why he didn’t just win, he expanded, accelerating when others faltered, as if time itself bent to his rhythm.
But what makes the discovery so moving isn’t the science, it’s the poetry.
That colossal heart wasn’t just muscle.
It was metaphor.
It explained what fans had always felt watching him: that there was something greater inside him, something immeasurable.
As one vet whispered after the necropsy:
“We finally know what powered him, but we’ll never understand how much heart he truly had.”
In life, Secretariat’s heart carried him 31 lengths past history.
In death, it reminded the world that greatness isn’t always about what’s seen
but about the size of the heart that beats behind it.
Ben Franklin warned: America has "a republic, if you can keep it."
He wasn't sure the great experiment would last.
Here @RonPaul, @SteveForbesCEO, @ryanmcmaken of @mises, and others say why we made it 250 years:
It's the 20th Anniversary of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."
NONE of his scary predictions have come true.
Mt. Kilimanjaro still has snow and Glacier National Park still has glaciers.
Here's why we are not doomed:
This pretty much explains everything wrong with our country. The left media can lie all they want and still appear to have the moral high road and nothing will ever change.
CBS News said there was no evidence of fraud.
The NYT said the Somali community was being targeted
CNN said there was "little evidence."
Tim Walz said it was “white supremacy” to expose fraud
Today: $90M busted and 15 charged.
IT WAS ALL FRAUD AND THEY KNEW.
ln 1992 Al Gore predicted that within two decades, Florida would lose 60% of its population due to climate change. Today, 34 years later, Florida’s population is 425% higher than it was in 1992.
