Typical average ordinary working father/husband enjoying life

Cincinnati, OH
A retired NASA engineer who had worked on the Space Shuttle program for 25 years was hired by SpaceX at age 62. He described the first week as the most disorienting experience of his professional life. At NASA, a design change required 3 meetings, 2 committees, a review board, and 6 to 18 months of documentation. At SpaceX, his new supervisor said "if it works, build it. If it doesn't, change it by Friday." He sat at his desk after the first day and called his wife. He told her he felt like a man who had been swimming with ankle weights for 25 years and someone just cut them off. He could move. He could decide. He could build something in the morning and test it in the afternoon. The constraint that he had accepted as the nature of aerospace engineering turned out to be the nature of bureaucracy. Within 6 months he had contributed to more design iterations than he had completed in his last 5 years at NASA. Not because he was working harder. Because the time between having an idea and testing the idea collapsed from months to hours. The same brain. The same knowledge. A different operating system. He described a specific moment where he proposed a modification to a Raptor engine component. At NASA, the proposal would have entered a queue. At SpaceX, the modification was machined by the end of the day and tested by the following morning. He watched his idea become a physical object in 18 hours. At NASA, 18 hours would not have been enough to schedule the first meeting to discuss whether to schedule a meeting. He told an interviewer: "I didn't get smarter when I went to SpaceX. I got faster. The intelligence was always there. The system was in the way." The difference between SpaceX and NASA is not talent. NASA has extraordinary talent. The difference is the time between a thought and a test. SpaceX compresses it. NASA elongates it. The same engineer produces 10x more at SpaceX than at NASA because the bottleneck was never the engineer. It was the meetings about the meetings about the work.

A week after the snowstorm and this is what we got Zoron the Shoveler! Filthy black snow, garbage soup, ice rinks on every corner, cars buried like fossils. People slipping, breaking ankles, nobody shoveling, nobody salting, nobody doing SH*T. This is New York City. Three minutes from the mayor’s house. Start spreading the news… this place is a dirty snow covered dump. Clean it the f*** up Mayor

🚨 100 BILLION GALLONS SLAMMED KERR COUNTY - MORE THAN NIAGARA FALLS IN A DAY On July 4th, Texas didn’t get rain. It got weaponized water. More than Niagara Falls dumps in a day, all dropped on Kerr County. Entire towns underwater. Roads gone. Homes wrecked. And it just so happens to hit right after active cloud seeding ops were reported over Texas? This isn’t natural. It’s engineered. Wake up.

Illegal Migrants complain that they are not allowed to cross the Polish border: “We want to enter Poland, but they won’t let us. They are threatening to harm us if we try to cross over. I want to go to Poland or Germany to have a good life.” Poland says NO to Open Borders! 🇵🇱

Democrats would have you believe only about ten Trans athletes have impacted women’s sports. False:
Men and boys have participated in over 11,230 female competitions. They have placed 1st at least 3,501 times and in the top three at least 5,937 times. They have stolen at least $1,600,087 in prizes and awards. MALES DO NOT BELONG IN FEMALES' SPORTS.

Hi everyone. Re: Epstein files. Ghislane Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice, is currently on appeal to the Supreme Court (filed January 2025) so don’t expect much new from DOJ until that is resolved. This was the situation today, will be tomorrow and the foreseeable future.

VIDEO: The assistant town clerk in Somerset, MA hands an election worker a stack of mail-in ballots who then takes them in her personal vehicle, unattended, to the town polling location. This took place in the parking lot of town hall on Primary Day this past September. The video was requested by residents after someone saw the ballots being moved without a police officer or a second poll worker present. Should there be more security around mail-in #ballots? @libsoftiktok @prageru @FoxNews @NEWSMAX @BBCNews

The day after January 6th, the FBI had the social media history, political ideology, spending habits, location data, Google history, religious affiliation, chat history, text messages, and information regarding every click a person has ever made on the Internet on thousands of Capitol Protestors. Yet, we have not been fully debriefed regarding Trump's would-be assassin. Who groomed him? Who tuned him? Who radicalized him? Who trained him? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? We are being purposefully starved of information and fed some trickle-down story about a kid who got bullied in school, became Lee Harvey Oswald, and then got Jack Rubied. He was a Republican, yet he donated to Biden. He was a Republican, yet he shot Trump. Do you believe that nonsense? I DON'T! Where is the discussion about the CIA's involvement in the JFK assassination and at least an acknowledgment of the fact that they could be involved in a plot to murder Trump? Trump has been at war with the intelligence community for years. He just had two massive wins at the Supreme Court. He is surging in the polls. And a week later, he is almost assassinated? It is Trump’s enemies inside of our own country who have the motive, means, and opportunity. And what... they want us to believe it was Iran??? Where is the news of a comprehensive internal investigation of all anti-Trump Federal Government employees and contractors that could have potentially been involved in the plot to murder Trump? J6 and J13 were both plots to take out Trump. Trump got politically hurt on J6, and he got shot on J13. Yet, we still do not know who placed the pipe bombs on J6, and we have no substantive information on the would-be assassin. WHAT IS GOING ON? WAKE UP AMERICA! EVERYTHING IS ON THE LINE! Donald Trump will be the next president. He was shot just a few days ago. The Post Traumatic Stress has not even begun to settle into his life, and what? Are we all just back to work now? And the Democrats are back to attacking Trump like nothing ever happened? Did you see the look on Trump’s face last night? People are saying he was somber or reserved. NO! That is the look of a man who knows that no one can help him. That is the look of a man who knows his life is entirely in God’s hands. That is the look of a man who has survived a bullet because God Himself said it’s not his time. This is a war between good and evil. This is a fight for the soul of our country. This is a war for the supremacy of truth over the filth, lies, and corruption of the deep state. And you need to act! You need to demand accountability from your government! Call, email, and tag your Congressman or Congresswoman on social media and demand an independent investigation with weekly deadlines, NOW! EVERYTHING IS ON THE LINE!

This is absolutely a big deal. Don’t buy the bullshit otherwise. It was not a standard op. The MAL raid was an unprecedented action with significant potential for confusion and blue on blue issues and conflict. It also involved competing equities between federal agencies (FBI & USSS) with equal statutory claims to interrupt the other’s activities. Anyone telling you otherwise is either dumb, or playing dumb. I’ve done more deconfliction with Russians in a foreign op I did for the USSS than the FBI did in their search warrant at MAL. Only a dumbass would pitch the “it’s the standard paperwork” line. Go serve a search warrant at the White House in the cocaine case while filling out your “standard paperwork” and see how that works out for you. Wake up.

Everything about the 2020 election was FUBAR. Stopping the count, sending Republican poll workers home, putting cardboard over the windows, chaining the doors. 1,000’s came forward to testify about voter fraud they had personally witnessed. Took days to manufacture enough votes.
