Trump and Vance speeches in 72 hours answered the left’s attacks on America’s 250th — from Mamdani’s July 3 “oligarchs” broadside against Elon Musk to Trump at Mount Rushmore and Vance at New York Harbor defining American culture, character, and self-reliance.
How do fringe ideological movements rise to power? Mike traces patterns from history to explain why America has survived past crises and what he believes remains its greatest strength.
America turned 250 — and every headline said the same thing. Trump ended the Kissinger doctrine, the Court redrew the presidency, and the American System buried since 1901 is back. Britain built the cage; America just walked out. Four posts inside.
Within days of President Trump’s issuance of his Executive Order calling for the development of a U.S. missile defense system, the Defense Department’s Missile Defense Agency issued a Request for Information (RFI) to U.S. industry for ideas on how to implement President Trump’s E.O. The defense industry website “Breaking Defense” calls the RFI, “a surprisingly fast turn around on a Pentagon program.”
Theresa Hitchens
The RFI is very broad and calls on industry to provide concepts by February 28 on a range of technologies to “detect and defeat the threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks”.
The RFI is not exhaustive but is intended to survey what concepts already exist in industry that might be useful in advancing the program and what research and development programs can contribute to it.
Undoubtedly to fully implement the program called for in President Trump’s E.O., new technologies must be developed. This will be a spur to U.S. industry and the scientific community to push the frontiers of technology which will certainly have spin-off effects far beyond missile defense.
Considered in conjunction with Energy Secretary Christopher Wright’s Order for a “Golden Age of American Energy” the Trump administration is moving quickly to put the U.S. on a fast track to a scientific and technological revolution.

Modern science is built from the bottom up — math, then physics, then life, then mind. Every great discovery was made the other way. Bruce Director on how music exposes what your mind can do that no machine ever will — and why it's the key to a new revolution in science.
The chip in your phone, the guidance in your car — all of it came from the race to the Moon. Kesha Rogers on how Apollo ignited the digital age, and why Trump's Artemis Moon base is about to do it again.
Every leading astronomer in Europe tried to find the lost asteroid Ceres with statistics. Every one failed. An unknown 24-year-old, Carl Gauss, found it from 41 days of data — by refusing to calculate and insisting on principle. Bruce Director on why that method is the cure for the age of AI.
