SHE INVESTED $1,000 IN TESLA. IT’S NOW WORTH $380,000.

CALLER: “Hi, I invested $1,000 in Tesla back in 2011. I never added another dollar to it.”

GEORGE KAMEL: “Okay… what’s it worth now?”

CALLER: “$380,000. We still owe $288,000 on our house. Should I sell it and pay off the mortgage?”

GEORGE KAMEL: “Wait…..you turned $1,000 into $380,000 and you haven’t touched it?”

CALLER: “Nobody knows what Tesla’s capable of. I want to hold.”

GEORGE KAMEL: “As soon as you can get that house paid off and get out of a single stock, the better.”

SHE THREW $1,000 INTO TESLA IN 2011 AND FORGOT ABOUT IT.

14 YEARS LATER IT’S WORTH $380,000.

AND SHE’S STILL DEBATING WHETHER TO CASH OUT.

🚨(1)BREAKING: Christian community police officer wins settlement after being forced out of his role for questioning and criticising Islam during diversity training.

Luke Salmons, who has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, was suspended for six months, forced to resign and put on a police barring list after he had questioned radical Islam in a training session.

He had been told that the session was a 'safe place' for discussion, but after expressing his beliefs, the consequences were devastating.

After taking legal action, his case has now been settled on confidential terms, however his story raises serious concerns about free speech and religious freedom in UK policing.

[Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC]

Democrat Senator Ed Markey wants to ensure that Hollywood can secretly insert & promote controversial gender ideology in children’s programming without any notice or transparency to parents.

Recently, parents have raised concerns that programming promoting transgender and gender non-binary ideologies are being rated as appropriate for young children without providing any information to parents.

The FCC is asking about empowering parents with more information so that they can make their own decisions about what is appropriate for their families.

Senator Markey wants the FCC to shut down that effort.

[Hidden History @HiddenHistoryYT]

82 years ago today, eight American sailors jumped onto a sinking Nazi submarine in the middle of the Atlantic.

What they pulled out of it changed the war. And the Navy buried the whole story for years.

First, you need to know that U-505 was already cursed. German sailors called her the unluckiest boat in the fleet. In October 1943, during a brutal British depth-charge attack, her own captain shot himself in the head in the control room, in front of his crew. He remains the only submarine commander in history known to have killed himself underwater in combat. His second-in-command calmly took over, rode out the attack, and sailed her home.

Eight months later, her luck ran out completely.

June 4, 1944. Two days before D-Day. Captain Daniel Gallery's hunter-killer group, built around the escort carrier USS Guadalcanal, had been stalking U-boats off West Africa. Gallery had an idea his superiors considered borderline insane: don't sink the next one. Capture it. No US Navy crew had boarded and taken an enemy warship on the high seas since 1815.

The destroyer escort USS Chatelain caught U-505 on sonar and fired a salvo of hedgehog bombs. The U-boat broke the surface 700 yards away. Gunfire raked the conning tower, wounding her captain. He gave the order to abandon ship.

The Germans rushed out so fast they botched the scuttling. The sub was flooding, but her engines were still running. She was circling the battle at six knots, empty, sinking, and very possibly rigged with demolition charges.

So Lt. Albert David and eight men from USS Pillsbury chased her down in a whaleboat, leaped aboard, and climbed down the hatch into a dark, flooding submarine that could explode or go under at any second. They shut the scuttling valves, disarmed the charges, and stopped the flooding.

Down there they found the prize: Enigma cipher machines and roughly 900 pounds of codebooks and charts. Current settings. The keys to the German navy's secret communications.

But here's the catch. The treasure was only valuable if Germany never found out. One leak and Berlin changes every code overnight.

So the Navy ran one of the great cover-ups of the war. The sub was towed 1,700 miles to Bermuda and given a fake American name: USS Nemo. Around 3,000 sailors were sworn to total silence. The 58 captured German crewmen vanished into a POW camp in rural Louisiana, hidden even from the Red Cross. Germany declared U-505 lost with all hands and notified the families. The dead men were alive in Louisiana, and their boat was working for the US Navy.

The secret held until the war ended.

Lt. David received the Medal of Honor, the only one awarded in the Atlantic Fleet in all of WWII.

And the submarine? In 1954, Chicagoans raised $250,000 to bring her home. She was towed across Lake Michigan and dragged through the streets of Chicago to the Museum of Science and Industry.

She's still sitting there right now. You can walk through her.

Just a reminder that the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race...

...BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!

Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.

Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."

He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving now.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!

REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!

The Saskatchewan RCMP are looking to identify a suspect alleged to have stolen a Starlink antenna from a home in Sandy Bay, about 450 km northeast of Prince Albert, around 1:30 a.m. on May 19.

The suspect is described as a man wearing a black baseball hat, black hoodie, black jacket, black pants, and brown boots.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.

@Starlink, can't you easily track where this antenna is?

[DJ Seo @djseo]

Sat down with @shaunmmaguire recently to talk through where Neuralink is and where it's going.

A few things that came up:

- over 20 participants now, more than 45,000 hours of BCI use — people controlling computers and speaking again with their thoughts, still hits me every time

- the implant with tiny flexible threads is impressive, but so are the surgical robots, microfab, and assembly lines needed to deliver BCI at scale (arguably harder to build)

- our current focus is restoration of function

- but the brain doesn't think in keystrokes, what we're really after is direct transfer of concepts, no compression, no language bottleneck

- most timelines are just friction people have accepted as normal, and we often ask: if every light were green, how fast could you physically build this?

- the caregivers and families of our participants don't get enough credit — their stories of love, sacrifice, and resilience keep us showing up the way we do

🇨🇦🏭📉BREAKING : Bank of Montreal predicts Canada will come in dead last in economic growth, in the G20, in 2026.

Scotia Bank predicts Canada with come in 14th place.

This is way below the "2nd fastest growing economy in the G7" lies Canadians were told by the Finance Minister & Prime Minister, for over a year now.

When the government lies to Canadians for a year and there is no consequence, why should they ever tell us the truth?

Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:

"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."

"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."

"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."

"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."

"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."

Why are corporate execs like this?

🚨 Elon Musk says SpaceX is going public because the company is entering a major investment phase

Speaking at J.P. Morgan, he highlighted plans for 100,000+ next-generation Starlink satellites, AI data centers in space, and continued development of Starship, which he believes can dramatically lower the cost of reaching orbit.

Musk says these projects could open the door to entirely new industries in space. 🚀 $SPCX

Allan Schoenborn stabbed and smothered his three children. Ages 5, 8, and 10.

In 2024 he told his psychiatrist the public should “lighten up” about what he did.

Yesterday, the B.C. Review Board granted him a conditional discharge.

The conditions?

-Be on good behaviour

-Don’t carry weapons

-Report any new relationships

That’s the bar for someone who killed three children.

PROOF OF CHEATING IN CALIFORNIA.

Notice that Karen Bass and Nithya Raman each increased by about 10,000 votes, but Spencer Pratts number stayed the EXACT SAME.

So, in over 20K votes cast, Spencer didn't get ONE.

This is IMPOSSIBLE.

The fix is surely in.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starlink V3 satellites have >10X bandwidth of V2 and there’ll be >10X launched, which means >100X more bandwidth.

Also, altitude will be 350km vs 550km, so min latency can be cut in half.

Light travels 300km/ms in space, so physics round trip min latency drops to <5ms.
