I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country
When alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin last won an Olympic gold medal, in PyeongChang eight years ago, her father Jeff—known throughout the skiing community for both his unyielding fandom of his phenom daughter and his passion for ski-racing photography—put his hands on his hat in the South Korea cold. “Oh my God!” he yelled.
Two years later, in 2020, Jeff Shiffrin died suddenly, in an accident in his Colorado home. He was 65. Jeff was the one who put Mikaela on skis when she was 2.
So it was only fitting that nearly a decade since that day in South Korea, Mikaela Shiffrin movingly talked about her father on Wednesday, after she won the Olympic gold medal in the slalom race in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

NOW - Citadel's CEO says decisions made under the Biden administration "were so so poorly thought out in terms of economic consequences, it cost the U.S. economy dearly."
BREAKING: Gold futures cross above $4,200/oz for the first time in history.
Gold is now up nearly +60% in 2025 alone.
One day, we will wonder why gold was so cheap.
Own assets or be left behind.
Shocking stat of the day:
Data center energy consumption has reached a record 5% of total US power demand.
This increase has been driven by the rapid adoption of digitalization and AI technologies.
This percentage is now estimated to more than DOUBLE over the next 5 years, according to McKinsey.
Additionally, data center load is set to account for up to 40% of net new demand added until 2030.
Overall, electricity demand for data centers is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of +23% through 2030.
Energy will soon be the AI bottleneck.

Everybody I speak with on both sides of the aisle agrees that we need to get our spending down to 3% of GDP.
But politics is standing in the way of making good decisions. The idea of compromise is out.
I think we all agree that we’re in need of a big renovation. The question is how that renovation gets done — and there’s a lot of fighting over what that renovation might look like.
My advice: Politicians on both sides need to agree on a mutually acceptable “worst case scenario” that cuts spending to the level we need, if a broader agreement can’t be reached in the near future.
I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.
This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.
Think the Surgeon General doesn’t matter? On July 15, 2021, Vivek Murthy issued a call to arms to social media companies to censor the public. Two weeks later, FSMB issued a press release about misinformation, and doctors licenses were threatened.
Based on full consideration of global expectations, China’s interests, and the appeals of the U.S. business community and consumers, #China has decided to agree to engage with the #US side. As China’s lead on China-U.S. economic and trade affairs, Vice Premier He Lifeng will hold talks with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during his visit to #Switzerland from May 9 to 12.
