"The narrow arteries around JFK represent 70% to 80% of the overall travel time for the average person by car. What we've done is leverage that airport, arranged for free parking, and let people see what commuting by vertical transportation is like." - Rob @Wiesenthal businessinsider.com/flying-taxi-co…

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.

@PBDsPodcast Good thing for redundent networking, including in space!

Iran May Have Found the World’s Biggest Weakness "This is what Iran just figured out. 97% of the internet that we use travels through underwater cables. $10 trillion a day is going through that cable and 2 of them go through the Strait of Hormuz." "Now they're talking about how they're gonna mess with the cables. If they mess with the cables, guess who's gonna be impacted by this economically? Everybody, the whole world."

Spot on.

@nahuelhilal @Tesla What is cost per mile for car, charge, tires, etc. 50 to 60 cents? So five hundred ish cost to do trip plus more of your time.

Yesterday I drove my @tesla 900 miles on FSD from Miami to Nashville and I realized it’s genuinely the better option. I fly that route 2 to 3 times a month. Flights are never under $400. Most times $600. Sometimes $800. Add Uber to and from both airports, or parking garage fees. Then factor in the delays, the cancellations, the security theater, the chaos, the guy next to you who hasn’t met deodorant yet. On the other hand: I pack healthy snacks, press one button, and the car just goes. I took calls. Replied to emails. FaceTimed my family. Ate without pulling over. Did everything I normally do on a travel day, except none of the stuff that makes travel days miserable. My biggest concern going in was range and charging. Here’s what actually happened: My bladder needed one extra stop the car didn’t even suggest. Most charging stops were under five minutes. Total cost for the whole trip was less than just the uber to the airport. And this was the base model Y. Now I’m thinking I should get something comfier and just make this the default.

This #WorldQuantumDay, it’s clear that quantum is no longer just a future promise. It’s delivering real impact around the world today. Across continents and time zones, our partners and customers are putting quantum computing to work. Together, we’re solving complex problems, accelerating innovation, and redefining what’s possible. Explore how global organizations are already realizing value from quantum computing: dwavequantum.com/learn/customer…

On World Quantum Day, one thing is clear: quantum computing is no longer just about possibility. It is about impact. While others are still racing to prove future relevance, D-Wave has already crossed an important line: delivering commercially viable quantum computing today. Our annealing systems are creating value now on real-world problems. Our gate-model work is advancing a differentiated path forward. And our customers are no longer asking whether quantum computing will matter, they are asking how fast they can deploy it. That is the shift this moment represents. Quantum is moving out of the lab and into operations, helping organizations make better decisions, improve efficiency, and tackle problems classical systems alone cannot solve. This World Quantum Day is not just a celebration of scientific promise. It is recognition that quantum computing is already starting to transform the world—and D-Wave intends to keep leading that transition. #WorldQuantumDay #QuantumComputing $QBTS linkedin.com/posts/alan-bar…

Feels like a good morning to remind everyone that criticism of government, especially a foreign government, is an essential right of free people in a free society. Distrust of foreign governments was the driving force to found America in the first place. It does not mean you hate other people. Quite the opposite, it means you LOVE your country and want what’s best for your homeland. That’s righteous. And moral. And defensible. I am America First. I voted for Trump 3 times. I support my President and want the Trump Administration to succeed. I want what’s best for MY country— because I have no other. The primary motivator in life: Leaving a prosperous and functional and peaceful America for my American children. That’s about it. 🇺🇸 "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children" — Proverbs 13:22

@FmrRepMTG Roosevelt, " if snake is coiling to strike, you don't wait for it to strike you. You stomp it down first"! No body wants to use a nuke, including Isreal on the snake (Iran).

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted. Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.

Most people are misreading what’s happening right now. We’re living through a moment of enormous global change - and far too many people are treating it like a snapshot instead of a moving picture. From Iran to Venezuela to Ukraine, the scale of what’s unfolding is bigger - and more connected - than the daily headlines suggest. That’s exactly why this week’s conversation matters. I sat down with Dr. William LeoGrande @WMLeoGrande to take a deeper look at Cuba, Latin America, and how U.S. foreign policy is shaping what comes next across the Western Hemisphere. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: gingrich360.net/p/episode-958-…

Governments are meant to protect their citizens from foreign and domestic threats, not import foreign threats and make them domestic. Why don't the Democrats understand that?

No one knew who I was when I started. Literally no one. My 1st company , I had to email reporters and tell them what they got wrong or right. I learned quickly they needed as much content as I could help them generate. That led to more people asking me for my opinion on software, networking, you name it. That led to me going on various radio and tv stations and then news channels. That blew up my first company that I sold Then it helped blow up my second company that I sold. Then it helped me blow up my 3rd company that I sold. Then I bought the Mavs and the rest is history I wasn't an actor, athlete or born into fame. I was a guy who figured out that the more I communicated with people who had platforms, the more they would platform me The more I stood apart from everyone else and was able to back it up, the more interest I could create That led to a TV show that failed. That led to Shark Tank and who knows how many tv appearances. They got me the platform that allowed me to create @costplusdrugs I never had a PR firm. Never paid to appear anywhere. I found places where I could add value and stand out and went there. That's what got me here The difference between now and then, there are thousands of podcasts and streamers and influencers that need content more than anyone ever did back in the day . Anyone who knows how to brush their teeth can start on small podcasts, find a niche, see if it works and grow from there

🚨 BREAKING: In an INCREDIBLE tariff win for President Trump, an aluminum plant in South Carolina just SURGED jobs for Americans that pay $125K per year Century Aluminum CEO Jesse Gary: "The tariffs are WORKING!" "The plant is going BACK to 100% manufacturing capacity!" The fake news does NOT want to show this! 🇺🇸 @RapidResponse47

The Senate must enact the will of the people

@GavinNewsom @dpakman Bruh you literally pushed all the billionaires out of your state You let $24 billion for the homeless go unaccounted for And you have the highest state tax on gas in America Stop blaming Trump for all your problems, be a man and take ownership for the state you run.

It's time to pass the Save America Act. The overwhelming majority of the American people want this commonsense election integrity law passed immediately!

@RepFine Maybe the vote for major was not legitimate

For those who voted for this, Florida is full. Lay in the bed you made. x.com/theinsiderpape…
