As a former Navy nuke and CMC, I saw teams solve tough shipbuilding and repair challenges —CVN76 PCU, CVN70 RCOH, LSD51 DPIA, CVN65 SRA. More desired outcomes observed at Numbered Fleet C2F and Forward Deployed Task Force CTF 70 level with hundreds of teams who adapted and delivered. We’ve solved it before. We can do it again. Thoughts? #MaritimeDominance #Shipbuilding #NavyStrong

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

Richest man alive, btw 🤣

It’s really simple. Our Robots and AI vs their Robots and AI. If we can catch up on robotics/software , and can stay ahead on AI, there is zero reason manufacturing won’t come back, or initiate here. At Cost Plus Drugs, the only thing holding us back from making generic drugs cheaper in Dallas than we can buy from Asia, are the fees we have to pay.

French people dancing together while their city is literally burning in the background.

With a flight deck packed with carrier-based aircraft, including stealthy fifth-generation F-35Cs, the USS Theodore Roosevelt pulled into Yokosuka, Japan, on Friday. Roosevelt is the first non-resident U.S. carrier to visit the key naval port, strategically located on the east side of Japan, in more than four years. Yokosuka is home to thee USS George Washington and America’s only forward-based Carrier Strike Group (CSG). Roosevelt, which serves as the flagship of CSG 9, escorted by guided-missile cruiser USS Chosin and destroyer USS Decatur, completed the journey from San Diego in 19 days − maneuvering around a typhoon in the Western Pacific − and will participate in the upcoming combined exercise Keen Sword 27. Meanwhile, the USS George H.W. Bush departed Thailand after a five-day port call and returned to the Middle East, and the USS Abraham Lincoln arrived home after a nearly eleven-month combat deployment.

The despair of a Parisian - pleading with the feral smooth brains not to destroy her store The death rattle of Paris as western civ breathes its last gasps. Notre Dame was no accident. It was the beginning of the end.

To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad: Do not blame the French people for this. We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no. Here are the numbers your media won't show you. 70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today. 79% want a tougher immigration policy. 77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration. 83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home. And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years. This is not a fringe. This is the French people. In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again. That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway. So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations. In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: "We penetrate the cabinets." He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders. It's the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed. What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it. The peoples of Europe don't want this. They never did. So when you see our town halls burning, don't say "the French chose this." The French never chose this. They were forced into it. If you're French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us. If you're American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd. x.com/MisterKraKra/status/21…

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen. I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn. And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.

Invasion update from France:

The looting in Paris today.. France riots

Absolute savages… The historic town hall in Limoges, France is gone. The steeple just collapsed.

Dept of Energy gets all the energy headlines. But the Dept of War has been quietly building out energy investments, and it's putting small nuclear reactors, geothermal wells, and new power plants on military bases. Quick summary on what this market looks like and who is winning -- Starting with the problem: military bases run on the civilian power grid, and their backup power is mostly diesel. The Pentagon wants bases that keep running if the grid goes down, and its missile defense systems need a lot of power. So it's bringing in private companies to build power on base land, with utilities as partners. This all picked up speed in May 2025, when an executive order put the Army in charge of nuclear power for the whole military and set a deadline: an Army-regulated reactor running on a domestic base by Sept 30, 2028. A second order created a Dept of Energy program to speed up testing of new reactors, and the July 2025 budget bill added $125M for small, portable reactors. The way the Army is doing it is unusual. Companies design, build, own, and run the reactors on Army land. The Army pays in installments as each company hits milestones, and the Army oversees the safety of its own projects. In this case, a military customer lets a startup prove its reactor works, so it can later sell to others. The $$ flowing towards this is interesting. The Army launched a program called Janus in October 2025. On Aug 26, 2026 it picked 5 companies for 5 bases, with up to $2.2B in govt $$ through 2031 and 20+ reactors expected. The Air Force ran its own version and picked 3 companies in April. And here are the winners so far: 3 names appear in both the Army & Air Force programs, which makes them the early leaders: Antares, Radiant, and Westinghouse. In June, Antares became the first company in the DOE reactor test program to get a test reactor to criticality, the point where a reactor sustains a nuclear reaction. Federal contract records show a Janus agreement worth up to $435.6M, with $58.5M funded so far, and a separate Air Force agreement with $11.4M funded so far. Its reactors are planned for Fort Bragg and Joint Base San Antonio. Radiant is planned for Fort Benning in the Army program and Buckley Space Force Base in the Air Force program. Federal records show $22.6M funded so far on its Air Force agreement. The company has announced a Janus agreement, but its value doesn’t appear in federal records yet. Westinghouse is planned for Fort Drum and Malmstrom Air Force Base. On Aug 24, a test of its eVinci reactor design reached criticality at a Nevada test site. Federal records show $10.6M funded so far on its Air Force agreement and its Army agreement value hasn't been disclosed. The other two Army picks matter too. BWXT, at Fort Campbell, is already building the Pentagon's earlier prototype reactor and is the only one of the 5 Army picks that makes its own fuel. General Atomics, at Fort Hood, uses a different fuel design than the rest. Oklo has a planned reactor at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. Fuel is where this gets fascinating. These reactors need special fuel that very few companies can make, and Army officials say supplying more than 20 reactors will likely exceed what the U.S. can currently produce. That gives an edge to whoever locks in supply early. BWXT makes its own, and in August Radiant and Antares both signed long-term fuel deals with Standard Nuclear. Reactors are only part of it. On Sept 18 the Army conditionally awarded land leases at 6 installations to 3 developers, Ameresco, Indelible-Bloom, and Frontier Power, to build power plants that sell to the grid and back up the base. The Army pays nothing to build them. And since 2023 the Navy, Army, and Air Force have been exploring geothermal power, using heat from underground, at bases in 6 states with companies like Fervo, GreenFire, and Sage. Pulled all together, the Dept of War is acting as the first customer, landlord + test site for a new energy industry, and interesting to see the small group of companies already holding the base sites & first contracts.
