'Test everything; hold fast what is good.' 1 Thessalonians 5:21. That's how I post: faith first, facts over feelings, and policy over personality. Christian, husband, business executive. Follow along. 🇺🇸
Air traffic controllers working in 1940s towers with 1980s tech. That's the reality at Kansas City Downtown Airport‼���
We're asking Congress for $30 BILLION to finish modernizing air traffic control — new software and upgraded infrastructure. That means good-paying manufacturing jobs in places like in nearby Olathe, Kansas, where new radios and radars are being built RIGHT NOW
@RogerMarshallMD said it best: The Trump Administration is delivering ON TIME and UNDER budget. Congress, pass the Modern Skies Act 💪
Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas in new @SpaceX note:
"The part of the SpaceX story that we believe holds the greatest growth potential, and that is being largely ignored/not contemplated by investors, is the Distributed Inference Cloud. Investors are already witnessing some degree of corporate/regulatory/social angst toward data centers. We see SPCX's efforts as instrumental in helping to get the Super Intelligence Economy and the Physical Intelligence Economy on the next leg of growth and economic development. As the 'density' of physical agents increases, we expect incrementally greater intelligence capability of the collective mobile swarm.
We ask investors to be prepared to hear about the Distributed Inference Cloud and physical AI swarms in the coming year. From our seat, we think this subject is very close to breaking out in the investor discussion. Gradually… then suddenly."
From 25 launches a year to 456. Not long ago people laughed at reusable rockets. Now the bottleneck is paperwork, not physics. Let the FAA do its review, but on a timeline that matches the ambition. America should be the place where big things get built.
🇺🇸🚀 SpaceX wants to launch Starship up to 456 times a year from Texas.
That’s a massive jump from the 25 launches it’s allowed right now. The plan comes in 2 steps, first up to 100 launches a year around the clock, then the full 456.
It’s also asking for 912 landings, since both the booster and the ship could come back to Texas, and Starship is designed to be reused.
The FAA will study the environmental impact and hold public meetings before signing off.
And Elon is thinking even bigger, with plans for a Starship site in Louisiana worth up to $100 billion and a long-term goal of launching more than once an hour.
It sounds wild today, but so did catching a rocket booster with giant metal arms.

MANCHESTER CITY’S FINANCIAL IMPACT 👀
Data published by BBC Sport shows the financial impact that Manchester City’s spending may have had on other Premier League clubs between 2009 and 2018 🤯
Four years and +118% for the S&P since the October 2022 low. A lot of folks spent that whole stretch waiting for the crash. The lesson I keep relearning: time in the market beats timing the market. Patience is a strategy. Proverbs 21:5
The US bull market is entering its 5th year.
Since the October 2022 low, the S&P 500 has rallied +118%, outpacing the average bull market since WWII.
This is also the 3rd-largest gain among bull markets at their 4th anniversary.
Over this period, the index has returned +21.6% in Year 1, +33.7% in Year 2, +12.7% in Year 3, and +19.4% in Year 4.
The average S&P 500 bull market's return since WWII has been +20.8% in Year 5, the 2nd-strongest 12-month performance after +39.1% in Year 1.
Of the 13 previous bull markets, only 6 lasted long enough to reach this stage.
If history is any guide, the market is heading for another year of strong gains.

One subscription for Grok, Cursor, and X Premium. I love this move. Bundling cuts friction, raises lifetime value, and gives people more reasons to stay. Elon keeps building ecosystems, not just products. Curious how fast adoption climbs.
When people start leveraging AI to answer spiritual questions, the Church shouldn't panic, it should disciple. The key will still be allowing the Holy Spirit to speak truth.
AI has a God problem that religious leaders are weighing in on, creating a new political risk for the creators of the technology, WSJ columnist @timkhiggins writes. https://t.co/QZlIrkcmYy
Europe shrinking nearly a million a year while Africa grows by 35 million. Demography reshapes economies and culture for decades. Family formation isn't a side issue.

Marriage used to be the norm by 25. Now it's the exception. Culture shifted—but God's design for covenant hasn't. Strong families still build strong nations. (Gen 2:24)
About 79% of women and 65% of men born in the US between 1940-1944 were married by the age of 25.
Only about 30% of women and 20% of men born between 1990-1994 were married by 25.
