DEVELOPING: Starbucks founder Howard Schultz announces that his family is leaving Seattle for Florida the same day Democrats passed an income tax on Washington state
Starbucks corporate is moving to Nashville
The wealth exodus is underway. Democrats have killed WA's economy
ELON MUSK “The single biggest thing Democrats are worried about is turning off fraudulent payments to illegals. By using entitlements fraud, the Democrats have been able to attract and retain vast numbers of illegal immigrants, and buy voters.”
California has been sucked dry. Even the richest state can’t keep up with the looting by politicians and special interests. Now there’s a $30 billion hole in the budget and the confiscations begin.
🇺🇸 SAN FRAN BLACKOUT – WAYMO FROZE, TESLA DROVE
Waymo’s robotaxis got a little too real last night - by completely shutting down when San Francisco’s power outage knocked out traffic lights.
Meanwhile, Teslas on FSD? Kept rolling. No drama, no headlines - just handling chaos like it’s a walk in the park.
This is what happens when you train your AI on billions of real-world miles instead of coddling it in a simulation padded with perfect data and wishful thinking.
Waymo bet on maps and order. Tesla bet on mess - and won. When the lights go out, the difference isn’t theoretical. It’s traffic.

🚨 BREAKING: DOGE geniuses in the Trump administration have built an AI tool to work toward slashing a whopping 50 PERCENT of ALL federal regulations, per WaPo
Holy smokes. Music to my ears. Cut it ALL.
"DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool" is supposed to analyze around 200K regulations to determine which can be eliminated if not required by law passed by Congress.
In merely 2 weeks, this tool has reportedly been used to make a decision on over 1 thousand regulatory sections at Trump's HUD, and has wrote 100% of "deregulations" at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
People are starting to realize that China’s massive buildout of solar photovoltaics has nothing to do with climate change, and everything to do with tapping the resource that makes up >99.9% of Earth’s energy budget.
A few months ago, Rhonda and I flew to Maine and had a lovely dinner with Tucker Carlson. The next day I sat down with Tucker for this interview. She was off camera in the studio with us during the interview.
🇺🇸 HOUSE PANICS: THIS AIN’T THE BILL WE VOTED FOR
Some House Republicans are freaking out over changes in the Senate’s version of a debt bill they say looks nothing like what they passed in May.
Even though top GOP Reps. say it’s basically the same, other conservatives aren’t buying it and fear the Senate’s trying to jam them.
Oh, and it comes with a $5 trillion debt ceiling hike. So, no big deal.
The real deadline? Sometime between July 4 and whenever they run out of money.

🚨 🇺🇸 MIND-BLOWING FEDERAL BUDGET BREAKDOWN: $6.16 TRILLION SPENDING VS $4.47 TRILLION REVENUE
The government's fiscal 2023 numbers reveal massive deficit spending that would make any sane business owner cringe.
Social Security dominates spending while individual income taxes carry the revenue load.
The deficit gap is staggering — we're spending $1.69 trillion more than we bring in annually.
Interest payments on existing debt alone consume hundreds of billions that could fund actual programs.
Individual income taxes and payroll taxes shoulder most of the burden while corporate taxes contribute relatively little.
Meanwhile, Social Security, defense, and Medicare devour the largest spending chunks.

What sets great startups who hit plan apart from all the rest?
One of the biggest tactics is the fact that they insist on building GTM plans are bottom-up instead of top-down.
Simple. Incredibly effective.
By understanding your growth levers and required resources, you can avoid the trap of overpromising and underdelivering. Read more: https://t.co/E8OQvPonPC Written by @Jgraymatter of @jgraymatter
The Palestinian flag at a Mexican immigration riot is not a bug or a mistake, it’s a primary feature of modern progressivism.
Intersectionality is the glue that keeps the global left wing insurgency together.
Intersectionality masquerades as compassion, but at its core, it’s a caste system of victimhood; where identity outranks truth, grievance replaces virtue, and justice no longer serves the common good, but kneels to a hierarchy of oppression
In this inverted moral order, truth is subordinate to emotion, merit is condemned as privilege, and justice is not about fairness but about redressing collective wounds, even when the individual is neither guilty nor responsible.
“An injustice here, is an injustice everywhere”
“From LA to Rafah there is one common oppressor. Death to the colonial empire”
This is a battle of chaos vs order
Civilization vs barbarism
Truth vs Delusion
Hamas, La Raza, BLM are all the same:
Anti West, Anti America, Anti Capitalism, Anti Law
Either civilization will win, or we will march into the abyss.
The West as we know it is at stake.
Remember, HELL has no bottom.
This is amazing.
Kids exposed to communist indoctrination during schooling had lower incomes as adults.
Communist indoctrination causally lowers lifetime achievement!
Some free market advice from a guy who knows a little bit about the subject: the Oracle of Omaha himself, Warren Buffet.
"If you're going to do dumb things because your stock goes down, you shouldn't own a stock at all...Some people are not actually emotionally or psychologically fit to own stocks."
Louder for those in the back.
