Palmer Luckey is a national treasure.
Investors like Paul want the immigration debate to be strictly polar because it is the only way their traitorous ideas might seem reasonable.
They paint one side as racist, backwards, economically illiterate absolutists and the other as enlightened, growth-minded cosmopolitian realists. Support for laws that protect American citizens can be dismissed as uneducated, anyone who hires immigrants or foreigners in any capacity a hypocrite.
American law should, and does, advantage American citizens. We should not have to compete on an even playing field with billions of people who almost universally don't share our values or respect our institutions, even if they are "the most qualified" or willing to work double the hours for the same wages. The men running Operation Paperclip did not think Americans should have to compete with the entire Third World, they understood that a carefully controlled amount of highly-skilled expert immigration is net good for America even when allegience is in question.
It is worth noting that even on a purely economic level, ignoring all burdens of loyalty or allegiance to your countrymen and treating America as nothing but an economic activity zone, it still doesn't make sense to say without qualification that foreigners should get any job where they are more qualified than their American counterpart.
As just one easy example out of dozens, about 20% of immigrants return home after less than five years, taking all their savings and vested shares with them. Another 20% will leave within ten years, doing the same. All the while, they will wire, on average, ~15% of their wages out of the United States economy every month. Some occupations and origins average 30%! The idea that this should be completely ignored with regard to employment and immigration policy is rampant among the same people who tell you with a straight face that limits on immigrants will destroy the American economy, that the dumb rednecks need to be saved.
I lean very libertarian and have strongly supported immigration to America for many years with countless public examples. That doesn't put me on the same side as the men who want to sell out America, and no amount of long-past accomplishment obliges any of us to listen to their lectures from the other side of the Atlantic.

In 1776, George Washington asked for a volunteer to report on British movements. 21 year old Nathan Hale volunteered, was captured and hung as a spy. His last words:
"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
American, remember who you are descended from.
I hope you’ll stop and read this from @bradonmessage . You are really missing out on some wisdom if you don’t consume this. Pulling and praying for you buddy. (Thank you @zitosalena for sharing) bradleytodd.substack.com/p/d…
I’m amazed at the focus on Flock when the device you carry, converse on, work on, and research with all day and night — your smartphone — has significantly more tracking and spying capabilities built in and active.
Not criticizing. Just trying to understand the priorities.
We will be able to post a similar graph and quote on $SPCX stock in the years to come.

Friends in business who “avoid politics”, instead of studying and doing their civic duty to fight as best they can for the principles of our civilization that enable their lives and work.
In Dante's Inferno, people who were neutral in life are treated just as harshly as those who sinned.
These are the "uncommitted" who chose no side. They are rejected by both Heaven *and* Hell.
Lukewarm souls are made to wait forever in the "Vestibule of Hell". They're stung by wasps while they run around in pursuit of a meaningless white banner (in punishment for standing beneath no banner in life).
Even worse, their blood and tears flow from their faces onto the ground to be consumed by maggots. Why?
In Christianity, Christ's blood is shed for man's salvation, and the blood of the martyrs is considered the seed of the Church. To bleed — whether literally or metaphorically — for a worthy cause is a great act of love.
But in the case of the lukewarm, their blood merely feeds maggots. "You shall know them by their fruits," Christ says, but the only "fruit" the lukewarm produce is nourishment for worms.
Dante himself was exiled from his hometown of Florence by a rival faction after years of civil conflict. His dislike of the lukewarm stemmed from those who sat on the sidelines and did nothing while his sentence was handed down — those who let injustice slide and were more concerned with protecting their own lot in life.
Dante doesn't even give them the courtesy of mentioning them by name in his Inferno. The "uncommitted" are all nameless.
His warning to the spineless is thus:
Stand for nothing, and nothing is what you'll become.
Every business leader who supports capitalism and freedom should follow his lead. His messaging is spot on and simple. Watch the video.
NEWS: Elon Musk rejects the far right label in an exchange with The Economist
"I support the normal people. What you call the far right, falsely."
He challenged the interviewer to say what is extreme about 3 positions.
"Here are the principles and tell me which of these sound terrible. That we should have secure borders, that we should have safe cities, that we should have sensible spending. Which of those three are far right fringe?"
Elon then turned on the framing itself.
"I would like to just admonish you and the media for the absurd characterization of the far right. It is false and misleading and nonsense."
He asked that the exchange survive the edit. "Please keep this part in."
Elon said the same speeches get judged by who delivered them, describing a habit of reading Obama and Clinton speeches to people and telling them Trump said it. He named Rupert Lowe as an example of who he means by normal people.

A good word
When you raised your hand to accept Jesus as Lord of your life and yielded yourself to Him, it meant you accepted the assignments He brings to you. It's no longer your time, your life, or your resources—you serve at the pleasure of the King. What an exciting way to invest your days! There is nothing you will give to the Lord that He won't multiply back to you.
Learn to honor the Lord. Practice being generous with your time, your attention, and your resources. Find ways to do that. Listen to people you might be tempted to brush off. Pray for people when it would be easier to ignore the invitation. Begin to practice that in an intentional, purposeful way. If you choose to honor Him, He will find you trustworthy, and He will multiply your opportunities. He will multiply things you didn't even know were possible.
You don't have to find the parade, run to the front, and say, “Look what I did!” Be willing to serve the Lord in all those places that seem insignificant, and God will bring promotion to you—whether He brings the promotion in this life or waits until eternity. Promotion is coming!
If you're walking through a hard season that's demanding your attention and sacrifice, and you feel like nobody notices, God notices. Turn down the volume on those accusing or condemning voices—or those voices telling you you're wasting your time or your sacrifice. You're not. Don't grow weary. God is faithful!
As a longtime SpaceX investor I’m watching @jamesproud and Substrate closely. Their AI-optimized X-ray lithography is slashing energy use in chipmaking, restoring U.S. semiconductor leadership w/ domestic fabs, & creating the virtuous hardware-AI flywheel we need to secure energy grids, next-gen compute, & beyond. This is how we win on energy security and technological supremacy.

Incredible man. Faithful servant to his family, friends, and the people of Georgia. Forever grateful for my 25 years of his friendship with @SonnyPerdue and the massive impact he’s had on me, Jamie and the kids. This just means we get to hunt more, which I’m grateful for!
Former Gov. Sonny Perdue, the first Republican governor of Georgia since Reconstruction, just announced that he is retiring from his role as chancellor of the state’s higher education system. #gapol

How many babies are murdered each year? Yet the Pope meets with and flatters the Obama administration - the one that sued the Little Sisters. No condemnation for them, or for the Democrat billionaire governor who supports the genital multination children.
This tweet reminded me of my favorite book from last Summer, a truly awesome biography of Robert E Lee written by a University of Georgia professor. You won’t be disappointed if you order and read a.co/d/02Ct6ypZ
On this day in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.
Lee showed up dressed in his best, looking like a dignified gentleman. Grant was covered in mud after riding all morning.
Before anything was signed, the two men spoke about their shared service in the Mexican War -- a reminder that Confederates and Union soldiers were nonetheless countrymen tied by mystic chords of memory.
Grant did not create terms of surrender to humiliate the South. Grant and Lincoln understood that to unify the nation, you could not imprison half of it. Confederates were allowed to keep their sidearms and personal horses.
When Grant learned that Lee's men were quite literally starving after having not eaten for days, he ordered 25,000 rations sent to them immediately. Lee said this would have "a very happy effect" on his men.
When Lee rode away after signing terms of surrender, Union soldiers cheered. Grant forced them to stop, reminding Union soldiers that Confederates were "now our countrymen" and there would be no cheering over their downfall. (In fact, days later when actual ceremonial surrender occurred, Union Gen. Josh Chamberlain reportedly ordered his men to salute passing Confederates as a sign of respect)
Lee also worked diligently to stop Confederates from waging guerrilla warfare, encouraging them to set their arms aside and return home and in peace. He was a titan in his own right.
If the spirit of 1865 had been driven by the urge to shame and punish, the Union would not have lasted. So many people today misunderstand that and as such, they try to rewrite America history.
God Bless America.

Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through.
Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating.
Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience.
The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse.
The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him.
Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will.
Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal.
He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man.
This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt.
Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone.
This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss.
Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull.
These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds.
At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in.
What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back.
Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile.
Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive.
Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms.
A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe.
He suffered for 6 hours.
His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life.
His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long.
His heart was struggling to pump blood.
He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking.
His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress.
And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin.
He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him.
HE DID IT ALL FOR US.
To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom.
Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it.
And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going.
For us.

The same two things are said repeatedly by CEOs and politicians and news media. But never at the same time.
1) AI will automate millions of jobs out of existence.
2) America must bring in unlimited H-1B's.
Both cannot be true.
They don't make any sense together.
Please pray for Susie Wiles. There’s not another like her. She has more strength, grace, and fortitude than anyone that’s ever come to work for @POTUS. She will want us to work for midterm success even harder until she defeats this and is even stronger!
Agree. Read it a few weeks ago. Cc: @MichaelAYoussef
This is the best book I’ve read on the unholy alliance between radical Islam and Western progressives. amzn.to/46Uj3nR
At this point if a Republican senator is opposing or delaying the SAVE America Act you have to ask a simple question: which 3 letter agency or foreign Nation is leveraging/blackmailing them?
🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has come out AGAINST the SAVE America Act
What a SHOCK 🙄
Murkowski is basically saying Alaskans are TOO STUPID to get IDs, and that they’ll be “disenfranchised”
As I’ve said before, Murkowski could NEVER win without rigged elections — and ranked choice voting, as they have in AK, is a great way to rig elections.
