One day, I hope @MrWinMarshall will no longer be defined by or asked about his cancelation from his band; and that the experience of leaving something he loved so much in order to be free, would be the least interesting thing about him. Until that day.. 👇

Today’s flood of Western media hit pieces and ridiculous commentary on Elon and SpaceX is yet another sign that the West is rotting from the inside. EVEN the Chinese Communists treat their national champions with more respect than these pathetic hacks. The CCP and its state mouthpieces aren’t half as deranged with envy. They may leash guys like Jack Ma and slap them down hard when they step out of line, but at least they’re smart enough to understand that they need their best talent and innovators to deliver prosperity for their people, dominate global markets, project raw power across the planet, and forge their nation into a ruthless superpower. The Chinese see them as vital strategic national assets and would never publicly insult or attack the ambitious, high-achieving mindset that creates these winners in the first place. SpaceX is, without a doubt, America’s national champion. Elon built the first reusable orbital rockets (Falcon 9), slashed launch costs, launched more missions in a single year than entire nations, revived American space dominance, sent NASA astronauts to the ISS aboard Crew Dragon, built the Starlink constellation that now beams high-speed internet to millions across the globe (including battlefields and disaster zones), and is developing Starship - the most powerful fully reusable rocket ever built, designed to make humanity an inter-planetary species. Yet the Western press and Democratic officials are almost unanimously attacking the one man going above and beyond to secure prosperity, technological supremacy, and raw national strength for our civilization. These people are vile soul-sucking wreckers who despise all excellence. The only thing they can produce is endless grievance and failure. All they know to do is tear down the successful, insult greatness, and wallow in their own mediocrity.

These are the exact same people who made “countering hate” their entire identity. They were the first to plant “Hate Has No Place Here” signs on their lawns. They insist “hate speech isn’t free speech.” They proudly fund groups like Hope Not Hate and Stop AAPI Hate They still chant “Love Trumps Hate” like it’s scripture. Yet here they are, in the pages of The Globe and Mail, publishing a guide on “how to properly hate” Elon Musk for the crime of building SpaceX into a company that could make him the world’s first trillionaire. Proof positive that their “anti-hate” crusade was never about hate. They are, in reality, full of hate. It was always about who they’re allowed to hate
A real headline from a Canadian national newspaper. Pretty disgusting stuff.

SpaceX is preventing Chinese and Hong Kong investors from participating in its IPO (and ongoing share purchases post listing) primarily through underwriter instructions, access blocks, and compliance with US export control and national security regulations. This is a smart call. Beijing's military-civil fusion strategy turns every overseas investment into a potential tech grab and creates a wide open attack surface for espionage, influence ops and long term leverage. Letting them in would've given the PLA a seat at the table in America's most important space and defense company, complete with financial leverage and intelligence access down the road. What always starts as a "passive" stake quickly becomes pressure for tech transfer, board influence, and theft, just like we've seen over and over again across all industries. By imposing these restrictions, SpaceX is protecting its tech, keeping full trust with the Pentagon and NASA, and making it crystal clear that critical American innovation isn't up for sale. Space and AI are the decisive battlegrounds for global dominance, with massive national security implications and serious regulatory risk on the horizon. Which is why this move is excellent corporate statesmanship. A decade ago, America probably would’ve sleepwalked into letting investors from anywhere buy SpaceX stock - 'free markets, amirite?' Thankfully, we’ve wisened up. Not all investors are equal. Not all political structures and cultures are equal. Not all trade is equal. This decision draws a hard line in the sand to signal that Americans are fired up to win this race and keep its decisive technological edge.

🚨 According to @MsMelChen, rumors are SWIRLING that Mr. Healey will now be pursuing his childhood dream of becoming a dentist. Sources also whisper that Mr. Healey had previously approached @MrWinMarshall about starting a two-man "punk-ska Phish tribute band", but was politely rebuffed by Mr. Marshall.
JUST IN - UK Defense Secretary, John Healey, resigns.

Well there it is! Cyrus Carmack-Belton wasn’t murdered over a bottle of water. He was shot after pointing a gun at the son of an Asian store owner, Rick Chow. Stop AAPI Hate just published a statement condemning the acquittal of Mr. Chow, painting him as the real villain while demanding “cross-racial solidarity.” It’s hilarious how these “Asian advocacy” frauds treat a white person saying something rude as a national emergency requiring marches and federal task forces. But when a Black teen pulls a gun on your kid? Apparently defending yourself is “anti-Black oppression.” Stop AAPI Hate is an astroturfed Marxist outfit pretending to fight Asian discrimination. They claimed Asian hate crimes were the result of Trump’s rhetoric on the China virus. They claimed white supremacy was why Asians were getting targeted during covid when everybody with eyes saw that it was black urban criminals. They never cared about affirmative action, which is actual systematic Asian discrimination. And now they are mad about Rick Chow’s acquittal.. In other words, Stop AAPI Hate is fake and gay

Nah they never actually wanted kids. The planet-saving excuse is the polite, progressive way to justify what’s really about prioritizing their own comfort and self-centeredness over everything else. You know they don't even care about the climate because these same childless people spend all their time flying around the world pumping out way more CO2
I have never once in my life encountered someone expressing this sentiment. Either I live in quite a bubble, or Ezra Klein does.

The rioting and destruction in Belfast last night is misdirected stupidity. Burning trains, homes, and businesses screws over innocent people who had nothing to do with the grievances. That said, please spare me the predictable sanctimony from the authorities and commentators on the media circuit today, clutching their pearls and bleating on and on about how "the hate has to end." It's funny to see how and when MLK’s line about “riots being the language of the unheard” gets trotted out. And when the rioting is universally panned as “hateful disorder.” Two-tier analysis

Every beheading on Western soil is a provocative act of raw subjugation and thus, a declaration of war. To sever a head is a kind of psychological conquest, a deliberate humiliation designed to break the spirit of the host population, broadcast supremacy, and signal that the old rules no longer apply. The left-leaning politicians and journalists say “don’t be divisive.” But what’s divisive is the blade that divided a head from a body, turning a human being into a trophy, a warning, and a desecrated symbol of a defeated civilization. This is siege warfare by other means. “We are here. We own this ground now. Submit or bleed.” Beheadings declare total enmity and total dominance. They reject you and your way of life, your decency and your proud history, and replace them with medieval spectacle and religious terror. After Lee Rigby (and Samuel Paty), the hammer should have fallen in the form of mass deportations, borders enforced, and zero tolerance for crime and third world behaviors. Instead, Tories and Labour chose surrender. They opened the gates even wider, gaslit their own people, and let the siege deepen. Enough.
