Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.

Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.

Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.

Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.

They conquered until they collapsed.

America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.

And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Almost unprecedented?

It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.

The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.

It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.

America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.

That’s not policy.

That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.

You’re being told a story right now.

That America is the villain of history.

You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.

The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.

And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”

Probably right.

China has historically built walls, not fleets.

But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.

We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.

AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.

If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?

The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?

Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.

Billions lifted out of poverty.

All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.

And carries no guarantee of being repeated.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was what it didn’t do after.

Rory McIlroy is an investor in Whoop, wears one of the company's wristbands while playing, and allows the brand to share his data periodically.

Here are some of his Masters highlights:

• 24,000+ steps on Sunday
• 91,000+ steps during the tournament

Rory's heart rate spiked to 135 BPM during his tee shot on 18, dropped to 121 BPM during his approach shot, fell further to 105 BPM during his winning putt, and then jumped back up to 150 BPM during his celebration.

His resting heart rate for the week was 47-49 BPM.

Rory says he follows a strict routine during the PGA Tour season to ensure proper rest and recovery:

• No caffeine after 2 PM
• Last meal at least 2 hours before bed
• Magnesium and theanine for sleep quality
• Blue-light-blocking glasses in the evening
• Sauana or Epsom salt bath when available
• Cool room temperature for sleep

He follows the same three-hour routine before every round: arrive at the course → warm up in the gym → eat breakfast → hit balls on the range → putting green.

Rory says he believes his focus on longevity will help him play another 10+ years at a high level, and his physiological age on Whoop is now 1.5 years younger than his actual age.

Plus, it turned out to be a pretty good investment.

Rory initially invested in Whoop in 2020 when the company was valued at $1.2 billion. While we don't know exactly how much he invested, Whoop recently raised another round at a $10.1 billion valuation.

That's an 8.4x multiple in five years.

Not bad, not bad.

@ClayTravis TV production in almost all sports has really fallen off a cliff over the past 5 years or so in my opinion. All they care about is talking, interviewing this person, creating some BS drama or story. Might just be me, but its what it feels like

@CrimsonClio @SportsPundette @TouchTunes Nah. It’s just enrichment of the community.

RIP Wes Rucker.

Im absolutely gutted..

An absolute tragedy. Please pray for the Rucker family.

We take life for granted

Weird, Democrats used to sound exactly how Trump sounds today.

Just a reminder for the "I don't understand why we have to have mass deportations" crowd. This went on for 4 years...they literally flooded the system trying to break it. That was the goal.

@sagesteele @SenJohnKennedy A society that can’t distinguish legal from illegal isn’t compassionate — it’s unserious.
Law is what makes mercy possible. Without it, you get chaos and selective enforcement

Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro.

As President, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy.

@MusicCityBowl May want to fix your public email address you have listed on your website. I sent an inquiry about a box suite.

Just looked this up, because it's honestly been on my mind for like nine hours now.

Between pregame and overtimes this season, Tennessee is 1-13 in coin tosses.

The odds of winning exactly one out of 14 fair coin tosses is 0.085% -- or 14 out of 16,384.

Historic performance.

Biden-Harris sent forklifts to open the border when Texas built a razor wall.

Never forget this treason:

@ClayTravis @grok Compare his football picks mentioned in the article against the actual results.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Sources: Auburn has fired coach Hugh Freeze. He’s gone 6-16 in the SEC over his three seasons and 15-19 overall. After losing to Kentucky last night to fall to 4-5, Auburn is in danger of having a losing record for third-straight year.

[Wes Rucker @wesruckerTBA]

Yikes.

Oklahoma was offsides on that play. Refs missed it.

Them's the breaks, right?

We always hear that Social Security is about to run out of money.

How come we never hear that Foreign Aid is about to run out of money?

COLUMN: Parity is the way of the SEC world right now. Accept that, adjust your reality and try to survive every Saturday. Style points are irrelevant. All wins are good wins.
