Muscle may have been a benefit to wars of old, but today, it’s the cranium that prevails. Losing that form of power threatens many. That childish resentment, lack of adaptability in an evolving world, is why we are as weak as ever. Why Is Pete Hegseth Purging Women From Command? Doug Wilson.

🧪 The average US science PhD takes 5.6 years, but a new DHS rule caps F-1 visas at 4 years. Over 95% of physics doctoral students take longer than that, so requiring strict extension vetting won't just slow down degrees. It risks driving talent away from the national research workforce.
