Elon Musk just lost over $250 billion in net worth due to SpaceX’s stock decline today

That’s the biggest single-day wealth decline in human history

These numbers are largely illiquid, paper gains that cannot be realized

Your wealth tax is an absolute joke

“If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources suck, you are in a bubble & again, I am not a Christian. They are systematically k!lling Christians in Nigeria. They have k!lled over a 100,000 Christians since 2009, they have burned 18,000 churches. These are the Isl@mists, Boko Haram. This is so much more of a Gen0cide attempt than what’s going on in Gaza. They are literally trying to wipe out the Christian population in Nigeria. Where are the kids protesting this?”

🚨 IRAN’S CROWN PRINCE: “A FREE IRAN WILL RECOGNIZE ISRAEL IMMEDIATELY”

Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has laid out a sweeping vision for Iran after the fall of the Islamic Republic — promising a dramatic geopolitical reset in the Middle East.

In a major statement, Pahlavi said a post-regime Iran would immediately recognize the State of Israel, restore friendship with the United States, and abandon the policies that have defined the Islamic Republic for more than four decades.

He also pledged that:

• Iran’s nuclear weapons program would end

• Support for groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas and other proxies would cease

• Iran would work with global partners against terrorism, organized crime and extremist Islamism

• Relations with Washington would be normalized and rebuilt

Perhaps most striking was his proposal to expand the Abraham Accords into what he called the “Cyrus Accords” — a regional alliance linking a free Iran, Israel, and Arab nations.

Pahlavi also framed a post-Islamic Republic Iran as a major economic and energy partner for the West, promising transparent governance, predictable energy markets, and an open economy welcoming international investment.

His message to the world was clear: the Iran many countries see today — associated with terrorism, sanctions, and isolation — is not the Iran he believes could emerge after regime change.

“A free Iran,” he said, “will be a force for peace, prosperity, and partnership.”

I am not a jingoist by any stretch of the word. Moreover, my daughter is on the USS Lincoln as we speak. I have skin in this game.

I have read (and heard) a lot of BS about whether or not we should be in Iran.

Let me be clear... I've been a SME on Iran for 25÷ years. I speak Persian Farsi, Dari, Balochi, and Tajik. I've been to Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and yes... Iran. There are few who know Iran as "intimately" as I do.

The reasons for this war are nuanced and complicated, but one thing is clear as day... the Iranian people (by and large) are good people and they just want to have the same liberty and freedom we have. Their women and girls want to be able to go out into public without having to fear if they'll be arrested and beaten (or even killed) by the "Virtue Police".

If you cannot see that, and you cannot support the liberation of a people that have been brutally oppressed for 47+ years... then you have no humanity and you and I are not the same.

Our past with Iran is not a good one (Operation Ajax or Iran Contra)... but a vast majority of the Iranians (and Americans) today have no idea why the relationship between our two countries soured in the first place. A vast majority of Iranians have only ever known abject tyranny and Islamic brutally... they love America.

I will not debate this with anyone.

Either get on team America and support the liberation of a brutalized people... or STFU and continue to wallow in your miserable hypocrisy and enjoy freedom you never had to earn or fight for.

God Bless America.

God Bless our Men and Women in Uniform.

Stephen A. Smith stuns audience with three simple questions about Nicolás Maduro.

1. “Didn’t Trump originally put a $15 million bounty on Nicolas Maduro’s head in his first term in office? The answer to that would be yes.”

2. “Didn’t President Joe Biden, in 2025, before leaving office, put a $25 million bounty on Nicolas Maduro’s head? The answer to that would be yes.”

3. “Didn’t President Trump come back after putting the $15 million bounty on Maduro’s head after witnessing Joe Biden put a $25 million bounty on Maduro’s head up the ante by increasing that bounty to $50 million? The answer to that would be yes.”

CONCLUSION: “So if we, as a government crossing party lines, mingling with other administrations in terms of mirroring their agenda as it pertains to this specific individual, if that is what happened, what’s the problem?”

🧠 Tariff Reality🧠

The current prosperity of these other countries depends on unbalanced trade.

Everyone is freaking out about tariffs, but the tariffs are reciprocal, meaning that if you remove your tariffs from the U.S., you will have no tariffs from the U.S. placed on you.

So, ask yourself WHY aren't these other countries simply removing their tariffs on the U.S.?

Their current prosperity depends on unbalanced trade. Many nations have built export-driven economies that rely on access to U.S. consumers while blocking U.S. products at home. They know that they benefit from the imbalance, which is why they don't want to give it up. They’ve grown accustomed to the U.S. being passive.

For decades, the U.S. allowed this uneven trade as a form of soft diplomacy and global “leadership.”

Now that the U.S. is asking for fairness, they’re being forced to compete on more equal terms, and they’re not eager to accept it, but they will have to.

Their internal industries can’t compete without protection.

A flood of American goods (especially in agriculture, tech, and energy) could disrupt local markets, leading to political instability at home.

That’s why they want access without reciprocity.

This reveals that many countries don’t actually want free trade; they want free access to the U.S. market, not true openness.

I'm not saying this is a great idea because it is so complex, and I have no idea how many unknown unknowns can appear as a result of these actions. But I know reality indicates that they either can't compete fairly or they simply don't want to compete fairly.
