Elon Musk: Your company is not going to exist if the ship of America sinks. “A country is no different from a person. If a country overspends and doesn't spend wisely, just like a person, the country will go bankrupt. The reason I'm here is because I'm very worried about America going bankrupt due to the corruption and waste. And if we don't do something about it, the ship of America is going to sink. And we're all on that ship. This may be a message to people out there who are wealthy, have a lot of means or control companies. Just remember, we're all in ship America here. Your company is not going to exist if the ship of America sinks. And we should do everything we possibly can to ensure that America is strong for far into the future.” Interview on Fox News, March 18, 2025

Capitalism creates so there’s more for everyone. Socialism is the weaponization of greed and envy making everyone worse off.

No, the war in Iran is not about Israel. Here's the history of U.S. - Iranian relations, and the current dilemma.

𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥: "𝗜𝗙 𝗪𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗗 𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗔, 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗕𝗘 𝟮𝟰/𝟳 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦" He's right. And he knows they know he's right. Stephen Miller just read the scorecard out loud. In one year under President Trump: 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱, 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. And the headline number: the lowest national murder rate in 125 years. Not five years. Not ten. Not a generation. 𝟭𝟮𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. Now ask yourself: if a Democrat president had delivered those numbers, what would the front page of every newspaper in America look like right now? What would the lead story on every network be? What would the tone of every late-night monologue be? You know the answer. You've seen it before. Instead the media spent today covering whether Tom Homan had a well-thought-out plan to guard airport exits. They spent last week debating whether ICE agents would brutalize travelers. They spent the week before that explaining why Iran was probably telling the truth and Trump wasn't. Miller's point isn't partisan. It's mathematical. These are the largest improvements in public safety in the history of this country — achieved in a single year — and the people whose job it is to inform the American public have buried them.
