Ancient man went to work for Skunkworks in a fitted suit and tie, used slide rule and punch card to design the fastest plane ever built. You sign onto “Teams” with your ill-fitting stained Polo and husky khakis and complete yet another “meeting” for a project 13 years behind schedule. You are GAY!!!

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

You asked for results, we made the changes necessary for this FBI to deliver- one example, DNA:

We are statutorily required under the “DNA Fingerprint Act of 2005” to receive and process collected DNA samples from federally convicted offenders, arrestees, and non-U.S. citizen detainees.

These samples are required to be sent to the FBI Laboratory Division (LD) for processing – we get around 50k a month. This literally solves crimes across the country, like unsolved homicides, mass shootings, sexual assaults, and other violent offenses.

There had been a massive backlog at the FBI Lab for decades. On August 1, 2024, the pending DNA backlog for these samples was over 1.81 million, literally breaking federal statutory requirements. A typical example of institutionalized bureaucracy from prior leadership that left crimes across America unsolved.

When we got here, we changed it. This FBI dedicated more resources, more equipment, improved IT systems, and used business analytics for DNA processing.

TODAY - that DNA backlog is officially at ZERO.

Just more evidence of the monumental and necessary changes made by this FBI. Thank you, FBI Lab Division.

Elon Musk sent every Tesla employee a memo that took authority away from their managers and handed it to them.

He never asks for more hours. Every rule moves a decision closer to the person doing the work.

Musk: “Excessive meetings are the blight of big companies and almost always get worse over time.”

Companies have a role for everyone who creates process and no role for anyone who removes it. Meetings and approval chains survive because removing them was never anyone’s job.

Musk: “Walk out of a meeting or drop off a call as soon as it is obvious you aren’t adding value.”

Attendance has always been treated as proof of commitment. He made it worthless, and contribution became the only thing that counts in the room.

Musk: “It is not rude to leave, it is rude to make someone stay and waste their time.”

Ordinary manners protect whoever called the meeting. He moved that protection to everyone else sitting quietly with real work waiting on them.

Musk: “Don’t use acronyms or nonsense words for objects, software, or processes at Tesla. Anything that requires an explanation inhibits communication.”

Internal vocabulary converts knowledge into status and charges every newcomer a fee to participate.

A company that speaks plainly can absorb talent at full speed.

Musk: “Communication should travel via the shortest path necessary to get the job done, not through the chain of command.”

Most good ideas die in transit, three levels below anyone with the power to act on them.

Musk: “Any manager who attempts to enforce chain of command communication will soon find themselves working elsewhere.”

The only threat in the entire memo. A manager who insists on being routed through is buying his own relevance with everyone else’s time. Musk put a price on it.

Musk: “Always pick common sense as your guide. If following a company rule is obviously ridiculous in a particular situation, the rule should change.”

Following a bad rule normally shields you. Exercising judgment exposes you.

He flipped which one carries the risk, and every rule now has to earn its place against the person applying it.

Every institution drifts toward protecting its own comfort. The ones that keep building are held together by people who rewrite the rules back down to something a single person can act on.

Nothing on that list requires a budget, a headcount, or a title.

You can run the entire memo from wherever you are sitting right now. Most people never test it and never learn it was permitted the whole time.

Executing a stealth mission, the B-2s accomplished their objective, but the journey home was perilous. With all HARMs expended, a long flight over Iran with critically low fuel loomed.

[Chicago Kid @chilandlord]

Property tax bills for Cook County are out..I want you to see the bill on a 4 unit building I own on North & Western.
@wttw @BlockClubCHI.

My tax bill has increased nearly 600% in 20 years..now I ask you.

*Have city service improved?
*Have schools improved?

What exactly has improved nearly 600% in Chicago to justify this kind of cost? Rents are expensive?

Is this any wonder why, when you consider this is naturally occurring affordable housing?

I am dead serious this is nuts!!!

🚨 REAL AMERICAN HERO 🇺🇸

16-year-old lifeguard Ryder Williams saw a 10-year-old boy getting smashed by massive waves in California… and jumped straight into the chaos.

He held on through crashing surf that kept burying them both. Refused to let go. Saved Nathaniel Rai’s life.

Today that young man stood in the Oval Office as President Trump looked him in the eye and called him a hero.

This is the America we still believe in.
