@RealScottRitter@jimmy_dore Yup,
#MAGA is going to be more disappointing to rural America than Hope was to urban America.
There is no America first, its all talk.
There’s irony in this takeaway…
“With >40% of Russell 2000 companies unprofitable, a higher-for-longer rate environment drives up debt servicing costs, threatening middle-market firms as interest costs take up a growing share of earnings.”
Perhaps it’s the source.
NEW: Since President Trump won a second term, his two eldest sons — Eric and Don Trump Jr.— have become linked to investments in at least 10 companies in the defense sector that have received approx. $3.7 billion in federal funds in Trump 2.0, up nearly $1B compared to the end of Biden’s term. https://t.co/NbHH7pPaXI
We've been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket's origins and ambitions to date.
We found that Polymarket's "official" origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built "the company in his bathroom", is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu's niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it's not the only thing either.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel's efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA's Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House.

For ten years Donald Trump has been sending the most unhinged messages in America. But this takes the crazy cake.
We are at DEFCON 1 of dementia.
25th now.
This is real footage from 120 years ago.
None of the people in it knew that the city around them had four days left...
What you are watching is a cable car gliding down Market Street in San Francisco, filmed on the 14th of April, 1906.
The camera was mounted on the front of the car, so you see the city exactly as it was: the crowds, the horse-drawn carriages, the early automobiles weaving through traffic, the men in hats, the great buildings rising on either side. An ordinary spring afternoon in a thriving American city.
Four days later, on the morning of the 18th of April, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck. The shaking lasted under a minute, but it ignited fires that burned through the city for days...
By the time it was over, more than 3,000 people were dead and roughly 80 percent of San Francisco had been destroyed. Almost every building you see in this footage was gone.
And the film itself nearly went with it.
The negative was placed on a train bound for New York on the 17th of April, the day before the earthquake. Had it left a single day later, it would have burned in the fire along with the studio that made it.
This entire moving record of a lost city survives because of one day...
2) This is especially true for government (and taxpayer) backed FHA/VA mortgages.
The DTI on this product is now up to 44% as of mid-2025.
Consider that back in the previous bubble, it was only 40%.
And before that, it was 35%.
Indicating a perpetual loosening of lending standards by the U.S. Government.
Trump destroyed the Republican Party. Tucker Carlson is simply capitalizing on the energy of the next movement. I’m never joining a political party ever again and don’t believe that a third party will solve ANY of our current problems, but the GOP is a decrepit carcass of grift and corruption and deserves to burn.
That’s TRUMP’S fault.
Not Tucker’s.
🚨Today marks 1,000 days of genocide in Gaza. In this video we show ten of Israel’s most well-documented crimes
They're far from the worst atrocities they committed, but together they paint a clear picture of the brutality, deception & impunity that have allowed them to continue
Jimmy Dore on Thomas Massie’s loss: “We obviously don’t have democracy.”
“It’s an oligarchy.”
“Which is why we have homelessness everywhere.”
“You go bankrupt when you get sick.”
“We go bankrupt just to get educated.”
“And we live in a surveillance state.”
The CIA BURIED a Soviet study in the 1950s showing anti-parasitics SUPPRESS CANCER GROWTH—and kept it CLASSIFIED for over 60 YEARS.
An entire generation of cancer research was DERAILED for over HALF A CENTURY, and millions of cancer victims have paid the price.
“Everybody’s profiting.” -President Trump

Perhaps the most blatant example of corruption in the history of American politics.
