Good news, the improved version of my #SciFi novel is now out! Better prose, pictures, ending, & even a better price! Let me know what you think: amzn.com/dp/B0DQCNQPMN/ Your support is GREATLY appreciated! #IndieNovels #Atlantis #ExoWars #PleaseShare

@A1Policy @SecDuffy @DHSgov We should see this as an opportunity to disband the TSA. Transfer all security equipment to the airport, go back to airport run security, & never let Democrats hold air travelers hostage again. One quick Executive Order to fix the problem! #SimpleSolution

.@SecDuffy says TSA officers have now missed paychecks because the Left shut down @DHSgov. Some are picking up second jobs while travelers face 3-to-4-hour airport lines. Americans must be put FIRST!

@DataRepublican @ConceptualJames I ❤️ that you referenced Harrison Bergeron. Such an underappreciated Sci-fi short story. One of my favorite of all times!

lol. No. China is no global center of gravity. China is on the decline even as they cling onto their cultural supremacy and harbor grand delusions of returning to the tribute system. Interesting watching that the Communist axis is finally revealing its true colors now that Trump is flushing out the global order they'd been hiding within, though. It's impossible for a global military hegemon to persist. That's not the same thing as saying that the world is necessarily multipolar. The United States is still the global Harrison Bergeron trying to shrug off his shackles.

Tucker Carlson on the "multipolar world," that is, pushing Russian and/or Chinese propaganda.

@MatthewWielicki I was a submarine officer. I can verify, first hand, that CO₂ levels on subs are far higher—5X to 10X—than normal outside air. Our amine-based scrubbers couldn't get anywhere close to normal. They would crap out near 2X to 3X.

As a former academic, it is physically painful to watch the "Gold Standard" of scientific publishing turn into a rubber-stamp factory for narrative-driven garbage. A recent paper published by Springer Nature on CO2 "toxicity" is the perfect case study in why institutional science is losing all credibility. The paper claims that rising atmospheric CO2 is on the verge of poisoning human blood and causing a "toxic threat" within decades. It sounds scary... until you apply five minutes of basic biological and historical literacy. 1. The Evolutionary Reality Check Mammals evolved roughly 225 million years ago. During that era, atmospheric CO2 wasn't just "high"—it was astronomical, estimated at 2,000 to 4,000 ppm. That is nearly 10X higher than current levels. If the human (mammalian) blood-gas exchange system were as fragile as these authors claim, our entire lineage would have been extinguished in the Triassic. We are the descendants of organisms that thrived in high CO2. 2. The Military "Living Laboratory" We don't have to guess how humans react to high CO2. The U.S. Navy and NASA have decades of data. Submariners routinely live and work in environments with CO2 levels maintained between 2,000 and 5,000 ppm for months at a time. If the "science" in this paper were remotely accurate, every nuclear sub crew in history would have been neurologically incapacitated. They aren't. They perform highly complex technical tasks at CO2 levels the authors of this paper would find "apocalyptic." 3. The Peer Review Scandal How does a paper that ignores the fossil record and existing physiological data get past the "gatekeepers"? When "Science" ignores the laws of biology and decades of human data to push a scary headline, it is no longer science... it is ideology. This is why the public is tuning out. When you trade your intellectual honesty for a "fashionable" conclusion, you don't just lose the argument; you lose the trust of the people. The "reproducibility crisis" was just the beginning; we are now facing a full-blown crisis of basic competence. When prestigious publishers like Springer Nature swap rigorous physiological data for "fashionable" alarmism, they aren't just publishing bad papers... they are actively dismantling the public's trust in the scientific method itself. Academia is burning its own house down, and until there is a reckoning with this institutional rot, nobody should blame the public for looking elsewhere for the truth. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@minchoi @grok what will this do to the nominal kW per AI server? I've heard the current crop is 10kW to 12kW. Will they climb to 16kW or 20kW?

Nvidia just revealed Vera Rubin. Ships H2 2026. The numbers are wild: → 10x more performance per watt vs Blackwell → 10x cheaper inference token cost → 4x fewer GPUs to train the same MoE model Energy was the biggest bottleneck in AI. Nvidia just made it 10x cheaper.

@SecretaryWright To be clear, was the "Peak" output in GW or total day's capacity in GWh? Please give full capacity in a day and add LNG & Nuclear for comparison. The lies of renewables needs to be told. The @eia needs to list costs in $/MWh (daily) vs $/MW.

During the recent winter storm, solar underdelivered by 89% and wind by 77% relative to their "capacity potential." Affordable, reliable and secure energy sources closed the capacity gap when intermittent sources couldn't deliver power for Americans when it was needed the most.

@johnkonrad I've never understood why Annapolis played West Point, but not Kings Point given it was closer to us and more similar to our curriculum 🤔 More sports interactions would be good for both parties! ⚓ 🔱

West Point. Annapolis. Kings Point. Two legends. The third is the forgotten forge training the logisticians, shipbuilders, engineers, and merchant captains who move, feed and fuel our warriors, For decades our nation was apathetic but today both sides of the aisle scream for more ships while this academy rots. Billions for hulls, pennies for the humans who sail them in contested waters. Contested logistics, sealift, amphibious sustainment, shipbuilding, marine construction and engineering… these decide wars. History proves it. We sprint toward defeat. USMMA had momentum early last year when @SecDuffy raised awareness and promised real money and sweeping reform. He said it himself “This is a disgrace”. That promise died. Even THE simplest task, maintaining their official X account, has stalled for months. Renovations frozen. The critical bill to upgrade campus trapped in Congress it’s sponsored by Mark Kelly. How dire is the collapse at our fifth and most vital academy? So dire a multimillion-dollar ship simulator sits unopened in crates for years while DOT drags on renovating a building to house it So dire ceilings shed debris on midshipmen in class. So dire hot-water system failed for months—forcing future officers into ice-cold showers and paper-plate meals like third-world recruits. So dire they couldn’t find a qualified superintendent for over a year so they promoted the temp who refuses to live on campus. So dire one-third of mids are disgusted, refuse Merchant Marine commissions, and bolt to other services. So dire the Navy has 17+ ships immobilized in port—zero qualified Merchant Mariners to crew them. So dire West Point’s landscaping budget exceeds Kings Point’s entire federal operating appropriation. So dire despite Buttigieg’s DEI flood, the academy grew whiter—top minorities (and whites) took scholarships and dignity elsewhere. Best kids vote with their feet. WWII wasn’t won by tanks and planes sitting on docks in CONUS. It was won by Liberty ships and merchant crews delivering steel, fuel, ammo under U-boat and kamikaze fire—the highest casualty rate of any U.S. service, 1 in 26 dead, higher than Marines or Army Air Forces. Decisive. Forgotten. This is how nations lose wars: logistics as afterthought, people disposable, brightest kids forced into freezing showers and porta-potties. Every broken pipe, dark hallway, silent account screams their rank: dead last. An academy without hot water isn’t failing students, it’s telling them, brutally, where they stand in national priorities. Kings Point isn’t a luxury. It’s the linchpin of power projection. Neglect it, and the next war is lost at sea before the first shot—ships pier-side, unmanned, enemy free to move. President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, Secretary Duffy: How do you tolerate mocking WWII heroes while China builds 232x faster? Talent fleeing as our fleet idles? America First at Kings Point—or bureaucracy’s casualty? Military for victory or virtue-signal? This is how nations lose wars: not in battle, but in neglect. When an academy can’t maintain their social media account let alone basic living conditions, it tells every US Merchant Mariner exactly where they rank. And the message is being heard: people last. Can’t get money to fix campus? Fine. Get the SeaBees, Army Corps of Engineers, national guard, bring home the peace corps if you must. Or are those construction battalions also too broken? Let’s test them. Put them on Ready Reserve Ships and anchor off campus. Assault the beach either hammers and sheetrock. Do it NOW. Live the academy’s motto: Acta Non Verba… ACTIONS NOT WORDS Film an HGTV style renovation reality show for MTV if you must but please, god’s sake, show the entire nation, the world, we can still surge readiness to care for our mids by posting daily updates to @UsmmaO

@GovNuclear @INL It would be nice if you put a name with the pictures. Who's micro reactor is that?

What excites you most about microreactors? 📸: @INL

@joeroganhq AND he can be tried by other countries which lost citizens due to him funding gain of function research. Plus I don't think international tribunals, like The Hague, have the "plead the 5th" rule.

Joe Rogan speaks on Fauci’s pardon: "He’s pre-pardoned federally, but he’s not pre-pardoned state-wise. These states can still sue him. Not only that, when you’re pardoned, you can no longer plead the 5th, so you could be held for perjury."

@bennyjohnson Correct me if I'm mistaken, wasn't a member of Proud Boys persecuted for RICO charges for insurrection? Feels like the same would apply to whoever is funding the full time insurrectionists?

Independent Journalist Nick Sortor Says Paid Protestors Plan To FULLY STAFF “No Go Zones” in Minneapolis To Fight Police 24 Hours A Day "It's two and a half blocks, what they call a 'no-go zone' for police." "Two o'clock in the morning and these people are screaming, blasting loud music, they're not letting people get to their houses.. Those residents are super upset about it." "What's going to happen now is if the city doesn't very quickly go in there with a bulldozer they're going to keep this place staffed all night long with tons and tons of people."

@EricLDaugh One flaw in the plan: Previously privateers were able to make money by seizing the cargo and selling it. The cargo in this case is illegal drugs that they can't sell. So there's no incentive. Rogue oil tankers however would be the high life!

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Tim Burchett are filing legislation letting private citizens SEIZE cartel assets if the president grants them authority This would be HUGE! BURCHETT: This was done by President Jefferson first - the Barbary pirates. It just needs Congressional approval. It's a legitimate way to go after these cartels. They're ARMED COMBATANTS! "They aren't gonna run an ad in Fortune magazine...they'll have privateers that are former operators. SEALs, Special Operations people. It'll be top-notch. There's all kinds of things. It's not some rag-tag thing. These are first-rate operators." I support this 100%! @timburchett @BasedMikeLee

@GovNuclear Are there 2 Rxs pictured just abstract concepts, or are they from specific companies? If that latter, from whom?

TOTAL PACKAGE: Gen III+ Small Modular Reactors check all the boxes and are based on proven technologies, with advanced safety features and a smaller form factor. ✅ Safety ✅ Affordability ✅ Versatility ✅ Siting

@GovNuclear Why do nuclear power plants cost half as much to build in South Korea† than do in the US? How will you make new Nuke Rxs cheaper & faster going forward? † Per IEA reports

What questions do you have about nuclear energy? 🤔

I've heard the sh00ter has been barricaded in a room in the 7th wing. Most @NavalAcademy mids are safe. One person medivaced out & a 2nd medivac request. No reported deaths yet.

@GovNuclear Good chart, but change it to 1 TeraWatt Hours, stick to generators (solar, wind, coal, LNG CCTG, old nuclear, ANRs) & list not only the number of units, but the land required. Then explain how many homes that serves, please.

How much power is 1 gigawatt? It’s one large-scale commercial reactor or...

@presearchnews If you want a product no one has solved yet, come up with a better reverse phone number look-up. That would make you guys top notch.

Could this be what's coming on Presearch next? 👀 Give us your thoughts about 9/8

@GovNuclear @xenergynuclear When will @xenergynuclear be allowed to go online? We need a faster approval process!

WATCH: @xenergynuclear is developing this high-temperature gas reactor that they say can’t melt down.

@GovNuclear HTGR, but connected to supercritical CO₂ Regenerative Brayton Cycle instead of steam generators using the Rankine cycle. Higher efficiencies & lighter weight. Plus the in-use refuelling can't be beat.

Which advanced reactor concept is YOUR favorite?

@GovNuclear @POTUS This is a good explanation of the problem: youtube.com/watch?v=cxDd3W… TR;DR: Cut regulations back to the 1960s levels & the problem is fixed.

America’s nuclear energy industry is ready for a resurgence. @POTUS is making it happen.

@PatrickMoorhead @howardlutnick @LipBuTan1 It would be interesting if a bunch of American chip companies created a joint venture to operate the fabs as a kind of cooperative 🤔

And it’s official. Seeing a @howardlutnick post but not DJT. Not seeing any MFF (most favored foundry) wording or hints anywhere. Support quoted from Michael Dell, Satya Nadella, Enrique Lores, Matt Garman, all current customers. In other news, @LipBuTan1 is on X. Getting my annual 👓 check right now. I will have more thoughts on this later. $INTC

@Fat_Electrician Carl's Jr & Hardies. Origin story & why the name changes at the Mississippi?? And why they've always so strongly supported Veterans?
