  Ben Averbook @benaverbook This is Javier Milei. He became president of Argentina and achieved what economists said was impossible. In a 2-hour interview with @lexfridman , he explains how he slashed 3,000+ regulations in 6 months. And why Elon & Vivek are taking notes: Javier Milei

Pentagon retreats from DEI

 Headline USA: Pentagon Gets Rid of DEI Evidence Before Trump Takes Office 'They’re being archived as we speak. They are full-bore focused on cleaning up anything DEI-related...' DEI is a failed ideology that substitutes identity for merit.  The goal should always be hiring the best and bightest.

Texas to add nuclear power to the grid

 The Blaze: Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Public Utility Commission of Texas have identified 61 possible sites across the state for new nuclear reactors. A recently-released state report on Advanced Nuclear Energy is hoping to bring in over $50 billion in new economic output to Texas, along with $27 billion in income for Texas workers. Governor Abbott announced the state's new plan, saying the plants would enhance the "reliability" of the state grid and provide "affordable, dispatchable power" to residents. "Texas is the energy capital of the world, and we are ready to be No. 1 in advanced nuclear power," the governor added. ... Texas is the fastest-growing state in the US and with that growth needs to add more energy production to feed it.  We already know that Big Green is not up to the challenge even though Texas does have some wind farms.

 Rick Moran: ... Some on the left ridiculed the notion that Italian satellites would be able to hack American voting machines. I wonder what they're saying today about the fantastical election-denying theory that Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service was used to "tabulate" votes in swing states. "Swing states were able to use Starlink in order to tally up and to count ballot votes, or voting ballots, in their state," claimed TikTok user Etheria77 in a video.

Starlink terminals "were used by election officials in some states to improve internet connectivity at rural polling locations," writes Alex Demas at The Bulwark. "Starlink is not a tabulation system and was not used to count or transmit votes in the swing states." Of course, it

The importance of the Gaetz nomination

 Athena Thorne: ... Perhaps Gaetz's most important experience is as the target of the Biden administration's weaponized DOJ. That department is in desperate need of discipline, cleansing, and reform. Its wanton use of armed raids on the homes of political enemies from pro-life demonstrators to journalists to a past president, its ceaseless quest for dirt on Orange Man Bad, its ludicrous judicial discretionary decisions, and more make it the poster child for a Trumpian reset come January. ... The DOJ lost its way under the Biden administration.  It needs to get back to law enforcement instead of going after political rivals.  Its attacks on Trump were disgraceful.  See also: Western Lensman @WesternLensman Subscribe June 4, 2024, GAETZ vs GARLAND.
