@rushtheband I excited to see Rush touring. My first Rush album was Fly By Night & been a fan of their albums and music ever since. As a jazz sax player I love Rush's musicianship and musical growth. I have never seen Rush Live and still can't but look forward to a video of it some day.

@elonmusk I am not a social media person in the sense of seeking many followers but I would like to applaud Grok in describing my work concerning the framework of an autonomous electric grid. Among the various AI apps it gave the best description of my work

@SenatorHeinrich Senator Heinrich once again you use a misleading comment. I am one of your constituents in Clovis, NM and also a power system expert.

@SenatorHeinrich Martin I wish you and your colleagues on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources stop making this false statement. IRR Bill was the problem. Unfortunately, concerning the grid you know enough to be dangerous.

@livgolf_league Great golf but you need to move the camera angle after from the golfer hits to his ball so we can see where it lands.

@VivekGRamaswamy Vivek I worked as an electrical engineer and worked with many engineers some excellent and others average. The problem is that many engineers coming out today lack key knowledge for finding solutions and this is regardless of country or college.

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers. (Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates). More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.” Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve. Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest. “Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China. This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness. That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

@RealTomHoman There's a real threat to the nation's electric grid due to the illegal immigration crisis. Consider the fact that several key substations interconnected in the electric grid within 200 miles of the border.

The man sitting on the steps with his shirt off facing the camera is my father in Vietnam. I had the honor to serve 20 years later. Thank you to all who served.

@harris_wins I was an analyst and advisor to Obama's DOE and can tell you distortion of the truth is common on both sides. Kamala is distorting truth. I read every page of the Border Bill in question and it is a terrible bill that would do little to improve the border. That's why it failed.

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator James Lankford, admits that it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this.
