Trump:

Janeese Lewis George, the Communist who is almost certainly going to be elected Mayor of Washington, D.C., has stated that she wants to empty the prisons, make D.C. a Sanctuary City, oppose ICE, welcome Criminal Illegal Aliens back into our beloved Capital, resist Anti-Crime Crackdowns, Defund the Police, continue and expand Cashless Bail, and so many other Capital destroying “things.” In the end, it will never work out, nor will I let it even have a chance because I have worked too hard to make Washington, D.C., the Envy of the World, with almost No Crime, and a Beautification process that has been second to none. I will meet with Janeese Lewis George, but must forewarn everyone that Washington, D.C., is again a Safe and Prestigious Community. Many people, including myself, have worked long and hard to get it there, and we will not let it be destroyed by a Communist adherent who has no intention to, MAKE WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN!

🚨 Here is the exact sequence of what happened in Rapid City in 12 hours..

June 25.. Scott Presler shows up to a South Dakota GOP event with a ticket in hand..

Thune's team had already printed a poster with his face on it to make sure he couldn't get in..

Sergeant at Arms Matt Bruner met him at the door.. said "get the hell outta here"..

Presler pulled out his phone.. stayed calm.. recorded everything.. posted it..

and here's what nobody wants to say out loud..

within 12 hours.. Bruner was fired..

within 12 hours.. Chairman Jim Eschenbaum issued a personal video apology..

within 12 hours.. Mike Lee was on record saying "America needs more Scott Preslers"..

within 12 hours.. the SAVE America Act had more national attention than six months of lobbying produced..

this is the same playbook Presler has run for a decade.. show up.. document the denial.. let the exposure do the work..

he registered 50,000+ new Republican voters in Pennsylvania alone.. flipped Bucks County.. Beaver County.. Luzerne County.. delivered 19 electoral votes to Trump..

and the party that needed all of that printed a poster to keep him out of a room..

the system worked for Presler today.. it just didn't work the way they planned.

I'll share more details shortly so turn on notifications, this is VERY important.

Wait, this anti-Trump bastard was working for the @SDGOP?
@LeaderJohnThune and his merry band of Democrat thugs need to go… like yesterday! 🤬

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: The South Dakota GOP Sergeant at Arms has been FIRED after denying Scott Presler entry to an event with Leader John Thune

The party chairman has now APOLOGIZED to Presler:

“I want to personally apologize for how things were handled tonight at the SD GOP Convention…Matt Bruner has been relieved of his duties as one of our Sergeant at Arms by the lead Sergeant at Arms.”

The GOP should know by now that peaceful FAFO is always waiting!

Keep pushing, @ScottPresler 🇺🇸

on why trying to predict the biggest market moves is the worst possible use of your time:

"an early analyst will look at a price chart and say, some days it moves up a little or down a little, but some days it really moves up a lot. there's three of those days a year. if i could just predict those, i'll make a huge amount of money."

"and what they don't realize is that the reason those days are so big is because no one was able to predict them."

"that's what a market does when something happens that no one else expected, that no one had already put a position on or hedged for. it shows you a great big move."

"so they've just spent who knows how much energy trying to predict the thing that is least predictable, all because they're drawn to it for excitement's sake."

the big moves are big precisely because they're unpredictable. if they were predictable, positions would already exist and the move would be smaller. the size of the move IS the proof that nobody saw it coming.

Elon Musk just made one if the biggest moves in taking over the programming industry

“SpaceX just bought Cursor for $60 billion. Do you realize how big this is? SpaceX went public — the biggest IPO in history. $75 billion raised, almost a $2 trillion valuation and the first thing to do with that money? Buy the most popular AI coding tool on the planet.

Here's why that changes everything. Elon now owns 3 layers: the compute, Colossus data centers, the models, Grok through xAI, and now the tool that developers actually use every day. It's the full stack.

And here's what makes Cursor different from Claude Code or Codex.

Cursor is model agnostic. You can run Claude in it, GPT, Gemini, whatever model you want. It's not locked to any one company, and now it has SpaceX's resources behind it. Cursor said they were bottlenecked by compute. Well, that bottleneck has just been removed.

$4 billion in annual revenue, over half the Fortune 500 already uses it, and now it's backed by a $2 trillion company. OpenAI has Codex, Anthropic has Claude Code, and now Elon has Cursor.”

Let me break this down in simple terms

Elon Musk now controls more of the full AI picture:

- Massive computers, power (data centers like Colossus)
- Smart AI models (Grok from xAI)
- The actual tool millions of developers use every day (Cursor)

For every day users this means

Faster and smarter apps and websites in the future. More developers using powerful AI tools means new apps, games, websites, and features get built quicker and cheaper. This means better video games, smoother streaming, smarter phone apps and better programs

For Developers they can describe what they want in plain English (“make a feature that does X”) and the AI handles more of the heavy lifting

When I was in the paper mill on Saturday I was standing in the saftey area watching the forklifts loading trailers. A driver next to me was asking about the green and red lights by the dock doors. It took me a bit to figure out what he was saying. I told him Red light stop do not enter trailer green light go enter the trailer just like a traffic light. He smiled and said ok. I asked where he is from, he said East Africa but wouldn’t be specific and walked away. Very broken English but it was his not understanding red light green light that really bothered me. On the outside of the dock is the same light system. Green light save to back in or leave Red light Do Not Move. Maybe that’s why that Mill will not allow drivers to remain in the truck while it’s being loaded and the truck must be shut off. And that’s happening at more and more docks all the time.

@HillaryClinton

Ma’am, I was the Air Force Lt. Colonel who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside that “people’s house” you’re suddenly so precious about. I saw it all up close for two years.

While Bill was getting blow jobs in the Oval Office from an intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air Force One, you and your staff treated the military with open disdain, like we were the help, not the men and women sworn to protect this nation. The disrespect for anything non-Clinton was palpable.

You lecture about “respect for the institution” while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged it off.

And when you finally slinked out in 2001? You and your crew trashed the place—vandalism, theft, glue in drawers, obscene messages, stolen property, and filth left behind for the next administration. The GAO confirmed it. Classy exit from the “people’s house.”

The White House belongs to the American people, not your grifting dynasty. They just elected a fighter who actually respects the military and the office. Keep ripping off poor kids in Haiti, selling your merch and clutching pearls.

Sit down, bitch. The adults are back in charge.

[Ethan Brooks @alt_w_v_g]

My wife texted me to meet her at the Mattress Firm by the highway.

Arrived on time (5 min early) and she wasn't there yet. Typical.

She called me 5 min later and asked why I was late.

Apparently, she was at the other Mattress Firm across the intersection less than a quarter mile away. Same brand, same sign, same red logo.

Why there are two Mattress Firms within a quarter mile of each other is apparently a common sense question we are not supposed to ask out loud.

Drove across the intersection in less than 2 min. We were buying our daughter her first real mattress.

Walked in at 6pm on a Friday. Zero customers. One employee. His title, per my receipt, is Sleep Expert.

The Sleep Expert was excited when we walked in and said we were his first customer all day.

My daughter looked at me. Looked at my wife. My wife looked at the ceiling.

The mattress we bought had:
> An original price of $1,399.99
> A clearance price of $549.99

My receipt listed:
> Clearance savings of $850

Net result:
> Saved $300 more than I spent

Wrote that down.

My wife took our daughter to the car while we were checking out because she could see the look in my eye.

Texted my analyst two words: Mattress Firm

Immediate "Sir. On it." response.

Eleven minutes later he sent a model. Fully formatted. No gridlines. Taught him well.

Sensitivity table on mattresses sold per store per day across average ticket price. The answer is four to six.

The numbers, per the latest public filings:
> 2,200 stores in America. More locations than Whole Foods and Costco combined
> $886 million in revenue last quarter. $3.5 billion annualized
> $1.6 million per store, per year
> $4,400 per store, per day

Call it four mattresses per day.

Takeaways:
> A full showroom
> Staffed by one employee ten hours a day
> Lit, heated, climate controlled
> To complete four transactions
> In a category people purchase once every 8 to 10 years
> Gross margin: 31%
> Operating margin: 3.8%

For years the internet insisted Mattress Firm was a money laundering operation. The boring truth is more impressive:
> 2016: A South African conglomerate called Steinhoff pays $3.8 billion for it, a 115 percent premium
> 2017: Steinhoff is revealed as one of the largest accounting frauds in history
> 2018: Mattress Firm files Chapter 11 and closes 700 stores
> 2025: The company that makes Tempur-Pedic pays $5 billion for it, fights the FTC in federal court for the privilege, wins, and renames itself Somnigroup

The conspiracy theory was that the stores launder money.

The filings suggest the parent company was the wash cycle.

Delivery window is 9am to 9pm. A 12 hour window. For a mattress.

The store itself is open 10am to 8pm. The delivery window outlasts the store.

Got in the car and walked my daughter through the unit economics. The two stores, the four transactions a day, the savings that exceeded the price.

She listened to all of it.

"Daddy, it doesn't make any sense. Who pays for the lights?"

Smiled and looked at my wife. She looked at the ceiling.

Three years at the firm and the analyst has never once asked who pays for the lights.

My daughter is picking up on things quicker than expected.

Plz fix. Thx.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

We spend more than anyone on public education and it’s absolutely horrendous. We purposefully release violent criminals back onto the streets. We take money from your paycheck and give it to foreign citizens who are here illegally.

It’s the guy landing rockets fault.
