What can be, unburdened by what has been.

[Seth Cohen @OverReactor1776]

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.

Leonardo da Vinci's greatest paragraph

[Michael Franzese @MichaelFranzese]

I’ve spent my life around people who knew how to make money when everything fell apart. So when I started looking into George Soros, I recognized something.

One currency collapses and he walks away richer. A nation’s economy breaks and his name turns up again. Then again. And again. At some point you stop calling it luck and start asking if it’s a pattern. In this one I walk through the crises — the Bank of England, the countries that never recovered — and I lay out what keeps repeating. I’m not here to tell you what to think. I’m here to show you the playbook and let you connect the dots. Because once you see how this works, you can’t unsee it. This is one of the most important things I’ve looked into, and I want you to watch it with your own eyes.

Old Florida still exists. Just gotta slow down and take a look.

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

On this Memorial Day, my heart feels heavy as I remember my brothers and sisters I served with who never made it home. We honor their ultimate sacrifice by standing up for the principles that unite us as Americans, defending our God-given freedoms, treating one another with aloha—respecting each other as children of God—and always striving for peace. Never forget. 🇺🇸

Finally made it to the @FlaglerMuseum yesterday in Palm Beach.

As someone who grew up in South Florida, I can’t believe it took me this long to finally step inside the former Palm Beach home of Henry Flagler.

The Flagler Museum is absolutely immaculate—not only as an architectural masterpiece, but as a place that tells the story of one of the most influential entrepreneurs in American history.

Born into humble beginnings, Henry Flagler became a co-founder of Standard Oil alongside John D. Rockefeller before embarking on an extraordinary second act: building modern Florida.

Flagler didn’t just construct hotels. He built railroads that connected the state, developed vast agricultural lands, invested in communities, and helped transform Florida into both an economic powerhouse and a world-class destination. In many ways, the Florida we know today exists because of his vision, persistence, and willingness to think bigger than anyone else.

Walking through these rooms, it’s easy to admire the wealth and grandeur. But what impressed me most was the scale of his ambition and the lasting impact one entrepreneur can have on an entire state.

No matter how long you’ve lived in Florida, this is a place worth visiting.

Have you ever toured the Flagler Museum?

I didn't know Epstein -- never met him.

But, based on 35 years in the business, and having take an extensive look into most of the available information about Epstein, I'm convinced the "tale" of "Pedo Rapist Island" and an "Epstein Client List" was almost entirely a creation of the South Florida Plaintiffs' Lawyers who have sued Epstein, his Estate, and financial institutions for nearly two decades on behalf of young women, and have extracted hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements by keeping that narrative going.

Massie's efforts re the Epstein DOJ files were entirely a political operation he mounted against a President he despises -- one he has actively worked to undermine for 10 years while pontificating about "muh principles". He had to look to 214 Democrats to overcome the WH and nearly the entire GOP caucus who knew what would happen if his discharge petition led to a vote.

And that is exactly what happened -- the nearly fact- free hysteria led to a burden placed upon DOJ's manpower that was severly debilitating at a time when DOJ was woefully understaffed and was fighting to advance the Trump 2.0 agenda on dozens of fronts.

But Massie's efforts to extract retribution for Trump putting a target on his back led to a huge percentage of available DOJ attorneys being pulled off the efforts to fight for the agenda, and anchored them to the mind-numbing project of redacting millions of pages of documents -- nearly all of which do nothing to reveal any organized criminal conspiracy involving sex trafficking or sex crimes by the "elite."

He's been full of sheet from the beginning.

And those who continue to bleat on about the "Epstein class" only expose themselves as double digit IQ holders gullible beyond belief.

Go ahead an unfollow me if I've just described you.

Tu confonds deux choses, et c'est exactement le piège que la French Theory a tendu.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité — égalité *de droits*, égalité *devant la loi*, égalité *de dignité*. C'est la promesse républicaine, et personne ici ne l'attaque.

Le wokisme, ce n'est pas ça. C'est l'égalitarisme des résultats. Et l'égalitarisme des résultats, contrairement à l'égalité des droits, n'est pas un élargissement de la liberté — c'est sa négation.

Quelques exemples concrets :

— San Francisco supprime les classes de maths avancées au collège pour "réduire les inégalités". Résultat : les écarts entre élèves explosent, les familles aisées prennent des cours privés, les pauvres se font enterrer. L'égalitarisme a creusé l'inégalité.

— Les politiques de discrimination positive à Harvard : étudiants admis avec des scores très en dessous de leurs camarades, taux d'échec dispropportionné, sentiment d'imposture, ressentiment généralisé. On a saboté ceux qu'on voulait aider.

— L'aide humanitaire qui distribue du riz gratuit pendant 30 ans en Afrique : effondrement des filières agricoles locales, dépendance institutionnalisée. Donner un poisson, c'est empêcher d'apprendre à pêcher.

Le wokisme ne détruit pas l'humanité dans le sens dramatique. Il fait pire : il dessert systématiquement ceux qu'il prétend protéger, et il génère du ressentiment des deux côtés — ceux qu'on infantilise et ceux qu'on culpabilise.

La fraternité républicaine dit : tu es mon égal, donc je te traite en adulte capable.
Le wokisme dit : tu es ma victime, donc je dois te protéger de toi-même.

L'un élève. L'autre infantilise. Ce n'est pas la même chose, et confondre les deux est exactement le tour de passe-passe qu'on dénonce.
