This is exactly like what’s happening with $TSLA Robotaxi and FSD right now. SLOWLY AND THEN ALL AT ONCE.

There is no greater force against evil in the world than the love of a woman and a man in marriage. 9 kids, 27 years, still in love. Happy anniversary, Rachel!❤️

Elon Musk on why the smartest people drop out of college: "You don't need college to learn. Learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free. It is not a question of learning." Musk explains what college actually provides: "There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework, and kind of soldier through and get it done. That's the main value of college. And also, you probably want to hang around with a bunch of people your own age for a while instead of going right into the workforce. So I think colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they're not for learning." On hiring at his companies: "There is a requirement of evidence of exceptional ability. I don't consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability. In fact, ideally you dropped out and did something. Obviously, Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs was pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out. Obviously not needed." Musk shares how education should work: "Generally, you want education to be as close to a video game as possible. Like a good video game. You do not need to tell your kid to play video games; they will play video games on autopilot all day. If you can make it interactive and engaging, you can make education far more compelling and far easier to do." He challenges the current system: "You really want to disconnect the whole 'grade level' thing from the subjects. Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can, or are interested in, in each subject. It seems like a really obvious thing." Musk criticizes traditional teaching: "Most teaching today is a lot like vaudeville. Somebody's standing up there lecturing to you. They've done the same lecture several years in a row. They're not necessarily all that engaged. That lack of enthusiasm is conveyed to the students; they're not very excited about it. They don't know why they're there. 'Why are we learning this stuff?' We don't even know why. A lot of things people learn, probably there's no point in learning them, because they never use them in the future." On whether university is necessary: "A university education is often unnecessary. That's not to say it's unnecessary for all people. But I think you learn about as much, the vast majority of what you're going to learn there, in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates. If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college." Musk started his own school for his kids: "I created a little school. It's small, only 14 kids now, and it'll have 20 in September. It's called Ad Astra, which means 'to the stars.'" He explains what makes it different: "There aren't any grades. There's no grade one, grade two, grade three. Not making all the children go in the same grade at the same time, like an assembly line. People are not objects on an assembly line. That's a ridiculous notion. Some people love English or languages. Some people love math. Some people love music. Different abilities at different times. It makes more sense to cater the education to match their aptitudes and abilities." Musk shares a key principle: "It's important to teach problem-solving, or teach to the problem, not to the tools. Let's say you're trying to teach people about how engines work. A more traditional approach would be: 'We're going to teach you all about screwdrivers and wrenches. You're going to have a course on screwdrivers, a course on wrenches.' This is a very difficult way to do it." He offers a better approach: "A much better way would be: 'Here's the engine. Now let's take it apart. How are we going to take it apart? Oh, you need a screwdriver, that's what the screwdriver is for. You need a wrench, that's what the wrench is for.' And then a very important thing happens: the relevance of the tools becomes clear." The result: "It seems to be going pretty well. The kids really love going to school. I think that's a good sign. I hated going to school when I was a kid; it was torture. The fact that they actually think vacations are too long, they want to go back to school. Weird, I know." Musk reframes what education really is: "If you think about it, what is education? You're basically downloading data and algorithms into your brain. And it's actually amazingly bad in conventional education. It shouldn't be this huge chore. The more you can gamify the process of learning, the better."

Did you know - prior to DHS the US Border Patrol was the “uniformed enforcement arm of INS” (immigration). And they weren’t limited to just patrolling the border. They had a sector in Northern California know as the Livermore Sector with stations in Bakersfield, Fresno, Livermore, Oxnard, Sacramento, Salinas, San Luis Obispo, and Stockton.

ICE Director Julie Myers warned Congress in 2013 that going only after the worst and most serious criminal aliens was a huge mistake and a risk to our national security. We needed a layered or full approach to immigration enforcement. “After 9/11 exposed significant security vulnerabilities in the visa and immigration system post-IRCA, ICE moved to a national security strategy that included an emphasis on ‘routine’ enforcement. As part of a layered enforcement strategy, the goal was to ensure that illegal immigrants were mindful of law enforcement vigilance on a constant basis, in order to deter additional illegal entries and make unlawful presence in the United States a less hospitable option. S. 744 (and the current Administration) have explicitly moved away from this layered approach to focus almost exclusively on enforcing immigration laws against ‘convicted criminals.’ The idea that routine immigration, documentation violations, or even just less than three misdemeanor convictions, should be ignored, or considered insignificant poses a potentially serious threat to our country. … This explicit movement away from the New York policing model of addressing small and large violations – where even the turnstile jumpers were held accountable – should be closely watched as it may have broad implications for the ability of law enforcement to effectively prevent serious abuses in the immigration system.”

Total spectrum immigration enforcement increases self deportations, resulting in MASS DEPORTATION. As the great @nicksortor says , “Do not Back Down”. Ever. @OldPatrolHQ .
🚨 BREAKING: ICE has now arrested over **700,000** illegal aliens, and over 2 MILLION more have self-deported Mark my words: self-deportations will slow SIGNIFICANTLY unless we bring back LA and Chicago style sweeps DO NOT BACK DOWN!

🚨 BREAKING: ICE officers just SHOT an El Salvador national and 18th Street Gang member after he tried to RUN ICE OVER with his vehicle, Director Todd Lyons says PRAY FOR ICE, they risk their lives for us 🙏🏻 LYONS: "ICE officers were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Patterson, CA to arrest Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, an 18th Street Gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection to a m*rder." "As officers approached the car, the wanted gang member weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run an officer over." "Following their training, our officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public." "The illegal alien was taken to a local hospital. The FBI is on the scene. This is a developing situation and we will update the public when more information is available." — Lyons told Fox's @BillMelugin_

“The number one threat that we have right now, in my view, is the fact that we don't know who came into our country in the last four years of Biden's open borders. So far, NCTC has identified around 18,000 known and suspected terrorists that the Biden administration let come into our country." FOLLOW: @The_Watch_Floor @sarahadams

This is a beach in the 1970s. There are no tattoos, no plastic surgeries, no nose rings, and no mobile phones, so people actually talked with each other. But the most impressive thing is that everybody looks hot and healthy. What went wrong since?
