In this issue

The debate on American Science came to a head this week, with the President signing an executive order that will set a new standard. We talk about that in this issue, along with more presidential actions, commentary from those watching him, and our own take on the news of the day.

Let’s get something straight right out of the gate: Science doesn’t belong to the Left.

For too long, radical activists have hijacked our research institutions, filling labs and grant boards with woke nonsense instead of good, old-fashioned discovery. “Equity” over excellence. “Inclusion” over innovation. It’s a recipe for national decline—and President Trump just ripped that recipe up.

This week, he signed an Executive Order demanding that American science be held to a Gold Standard.

That’s right. No more virtue signaling in lab coats. No more taxpayer dollars funneled into fringe theories and divisive ideologies. It’s back to basics: rigorous methods, real results, and research that actually benefits the American people.

And you know what? It’s already sending shockwaves through the swamp.

The move comes as part of a bold plan to reinvigorate America’s nuclear industry—a sector that’s been choked out by regulation, strangled by globalism, and mocked by the very elites who rely on foreign energy to power their Teslas.

President Trump is pushing for domestic uranium mining, putting American miners back to work and slashing our dependence on Russian and Chinese sources. We’re talking national security and economic growth all in one.

But the real headline here isn’t just about nuclear power—it’s about trust.

For decades, Americans have watched “experts” abuse their authority. COVID lockdowns. Climate doomsday predictions. Gender ideology passed off as science.

We were told to “trust the science,” but what they really meant was “shut up and obey.” That era is over.

As the White House rightly said this week, “It is possible to support science and hold it accountable at the same time.” Amen. This isn’t about silencing discovery—it’s about cutting the rot out of the system and returning to truth.

We’re not against science. We’re against corrupted science. And frankly, anyone who isn’t should have their head examined.

Office of Science and Technology Director Michael Kratsios laid it out perfectly in his op-ed: America’s strength depends on scientific integrity—not ideology. He reminded readers that the nation that led the world to the moon, mapped the genome, and built the Internet did so by rewarding excellence, not quotas. That’s the spirit we’re reclaiming. That’s the America we believe in.

So, what does this mean for you?

If you're a patriot, it means your voice finally matters again. It means our kids will study facts, not feelings. It means your tax dollars won’t bankroll DEI cults disguised as research departments. And it means real American jobs—from the uranium mines of Utah to the nuclear plants of Ohio—are coming back strong.

We’re building a future rooted in truth, powered by American energy, and guided by common sense.

Let the Left whine. Let the globalists panic. We know the truth:

Science belongs to the people—not the politics.

And under President Trump’s leadership, America leads again.
