In a “study” conducted by Dr. Karen Weatherby.

It was determined that just 10 minutes of looking at a woman’s chest
could equal 30 minutes of cardio.

Lower heart rate

Lower blood pressure

Better overall heart health

So technically…
you’ve been working out this whole time 💀

You’re welcome.

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired.

The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass.

A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed.

Everything else was improvised.

I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76.

What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation.

I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one.

She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure.

The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet.

The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent.

That's priority.

The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago.

A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced.

That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details.

I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column.

I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously.

188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken.

A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

⚠️ INSIDER-HANDEL IM WEISSEN HAUS - DAS MUSTER IST JETZT EINDEUTIG!

Ein Trader sitzt um 6:49 morgens am Bildschirm und sieht, wie 580 Millionen Dollar in die Öl-Futures fließen. Kein News-Ticker, kein Analysten-Call, keine Erklärung. Reine Stille - und dann ein Berg von Geld, der sich auf genau die Richtung legt, in die der Markt gleich kippen soll.

16 Minuten später kommt Trumps Tweet. Iran-Pause. Öl fällt senkrecht. Die Bets gehen auf.

Das ist kein Einzelfall. Die BBC hat fünf dieser Muster dokumentiert. Tariff-Pause. Maduro-Capture. Ceasefire-Ankündigung. Iran-Verhandlungen. Hormuz-Öffnung. Jedes Mal derselbe Film - massive Wetten, Minuten bevor die Information öffentlich ist, 100 Prozent Treffer.

@unusual_whales schreibt: "580 Millionen in 16 Minuten VOR der Ankündigung. Nicht normal." @MerlijnTrader zählt die Serie mit: "11 Trades. 11 Wins. 100 Prozent Win Rate. Das ist nicht mehr Zufall." Und Senator @ChrisMurphyCT packt die nächste Zahl auf den Tisch: 1,5 Milliarden Dollar in S&P-Futures, 5 Minuten vor Trumps Iran-Post. 46-mal größer als jeder andere Trade an diesem Morgen.

Der italienische Journalist @francescoproia fasst das Playbook zusammen. 23. März - 500 Millionen Öl-Bet, 15 Minuten bevor Trump den Iran-Angriff vertagt. 7. April - 950 Millionen, kurz vor dem Ceasefire. 17. April - 760 Millionen, 20 Minuten bevor Trump die Straße von Hormuz für offen erklärt.

"Man liest Insider Trading. Man schreibt Barron oder Donald Trump."

Diesen Satz liest niemand gerne, aber auf CT denken ihn alle. @hayasaka_aryan formuliert ihn trocken: "Barron macht 90 Millionen pro Woche, weil sein Vater die Wirtschaft manipuliert." Ob es Barron ist, ein Berater, ein Familienmitglied oder irgendein Mitarbeiter im West Wing, weiß niemand. Aber irgendjemand in einem sehr wichtigen Raum nimmt jedes Mal das Telefon ab.

Ich habe das hier schon oft gesagt. Als die Tariff-Pause im April 2025 den Markt gerettet hat, lagen die Bets auf Polymarket Tage vorher richtig. Als Maduro in Caracas gefasst wurde, hatte ein Konto namens "Burdensome-Mix" aus 32.500 Dollar bereits 436.000 gemacht. Sechzehn anonyme Polymarket-Accounts kassierten je über 100.000 Dollar nach den Februar-Angriffen auf Iran. Jeder einzelne hat korrekt auf den exakten Zeitpunkt gewettet.

Und jetzt der Teil, der die Finanz-Audience nicht interessiert, euch aber auffallen sollte. Donald Trump Jr. sitzt im Advisory Board von Polymarket. Gleichzeitig ist er strategischer Berater bei Kalshi. Die zwei Plattformen, auf denen die größten Wetten platziert werden. Die Familie verdient am Haus und am Tisch gleichzeitig.

Der STOCK Act von 2012 verbietet genau das. Ausdrücklich auch für Executive Branch Officials. Seit 14 Jahren. Null Verfahren. Null Verurteilungen.

Die CFTC schaut sich die Trades an. Sam Liccardo, Abgeordneter der Demokraten aus Kalifornien, stellt Fragen. Das Weiße Haus schweigt.

Was mich bei dieser Story am meisten anekelt, ist der Maßstab. Wenn du in Frankfurt einen Tipp von deinem Cousin bekommst und 2.000 Euro auf BASF setzt, stehst du vor Gericht. Wenn aus dem Oval Office Milliarden vor einer Kriegserklärung verschoben werden, wird daraus eine "auffällige Marktbewegung" und eine Fußnote in den Nachrichten.

Die Leute, die den Spielplatz kontrollieren, spielen mit gezinkten Karten. Das Prediction-Market-Geld fließt in Plattformen, die der Präsidentensohn mitverwaltet. Die Öl-Futures werden von Wallets gekippt, die zehn von zehn Treffer landen. Die Regulierer schauen freundlich weg.

Das Spiel ist manipuliert. Das wissen wir seit Jahren. Der Unterschied heute: Die BBC hat die Quittungen.

Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied.

In Italy:
- Walk into a bar and look at the guy
- Un caffe
- 30 seconds later it’s ready
- Shoot it
- Leave €1
- Walk out

In the US:
- Join a line
- Wait
- Order coffee
- Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it?
- $12.34
- Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip
- Tap phone
- ask where to send the invoice
- Wait again on a different line
- Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine
- get the coffee
- too hot, can't drink it
- finally at temperature

EU enters full Owellian mode, where words start to mean the opposite of what they once did..

…placing the word “DEMOCRACY” on the side of the EU HQ in Brussels—an institution now with arguably more power than any other in Europe, and one where not a single person is elected.

[Pavel Durov @durov]

This is how the EU/UK now regulates social media:

🤐 Offer CEOs secret deals to censor dissent.
🚨 If they refuse, open criminal cases against them.
😑 When people push back, say it's "all for the children".

🎭 "Protecting children" has become the standard legal/PR cover.

[Franz Becchi @franzbecchi]

Jeffrey Epstein hatte über 40 Bankkonten bei der Deutschen Bank – sein Pädo-Netzwerk hat die EU offenbar nicht interessiert. Aber jetzt will genau diese EU unsere Chats und sozialen Medien massenüberwachen – natürlich „zum Schutz der Kinder“. Na klar!

‼️🇪🇺 The EU's new Age Verification app was hacked with little to no effort.

When you set it up, the app asks you to create a PIN. But that PIN isn't actually tied to the identity data it's supposed to protect. An attacker can delete a couple of entries from a file on the phone, restart the app, pick a new PIN, and the app happily hands over the original user's verified identity credentials as if nothing happened.

It gets worse. The app's "too many attempts" lockout is just a counter in a text file. Reset it to 0 and keep guessing. The biometric check (face/fingerprint) is a simple on/off switch in the same file. Flip it to off and the app skips it entirely.

The EU: "Open the Strait of Hormuz because the world needs the oil and gas."
Also the EU: "Let's cement the gas wells in the Netherlands, flood the coal mines in Germany, ban shale gas exploration everywhere in Europe, because we don’t need the oil and gas."
Europe is led by pro-Iran Marxist buffoons.

Hungary was the last block.

Hungary was blocking the vote to establish majority voting with its veto.

Now this will fall, and the EU globalists will be able to realize their wildest dreams in terms of surveillance, taxes, and population replacement.

They will just bribe a few Eastern European nations and push everything through.

Some right-wingers who are completely blinded by geopolitics think this is a good thing because it will make support for Ukraine easier. They will have a rude awakening.

The current EU is a destructive anti-ethnic system, and letting it gain more power before any reform or change in leadership is crazy.

Hungary was the last block.

Now they will do everything in their power to bring about regime change in every patriotic government and prevent any right-wing shift.

And their power just grew massively.

[Climate Warrior🐬 #ClimateJustice🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @ClimateWarrior7]

I lived in Hungary for several years under the Orbán dictatorship.

The funny thing was, people could and did say whatever came into their heads, protests were held in front of the parliament, there was a gay cruise bar down the road and Orbán held elections.

And yet, the country was a dictatorship.

Whereas in the UK, people tend to be distinctly guarded and if they do say the wrong thing very publicly, they get locked up.

And yet, it's a free country.

Once you understand that words can mean whatever we want them to mean, it begins to make sense.
