Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

An astonishing thing happened yesterday at the Justice Department, one that surpassed even the biggest firing scandal of the Nixon era. The Department and its leaders are reeling, and the political repercussions are now rippling out. My write-up: https://buff.ly/41h7EMv

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years.

Andreessen Horowitz hiring Daniel Perry exemplifies what debates over preferential treatment are really all about. White men are actually rewarded professionally and personally by other white men for their willingness to commit acts of violence against people who threaten white male dominance.

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.
