Whoops!
How to lose your state $116.8 billion in just 3 words…
That’s $38.9 billion per word.
That’s $8.9 billion per character.
That’s just the start.😂😂😂
This young man
Has uncovered BILLIONS in fraud
And is just getting started with California
He’s not backing down
He is on a mission
To show the American people the truth
Protect Nick Shirley at all costs
🚨 Scott Baio getting a major comeback after Hollywood blacklisted him for supporting President Trump is pure vindication and proof that the cancel culture mob does not always win.
Patriots respect anyone who refused to bend the knee and stayed true to their beliefs when it cost them work. Seeing big names like Stallone and Jackson attached to the same project only makes the moment sweeter. Congratulations Scott, you earned this. Bravo👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Today I drew President Trump… ✏️🖤
My mom looked at it and said, “Don’t post it… people will judge you before they see your talent.”
Her words stayed with me, because sometimes our biggest fear isn’t failing—it’s being laughed at for trying. 🥀
But I still posted it. Because every artist deserves a chance to be seen.
I put my heart, patience, and countless pencil strokes into this portrait.
Tell me honestly… did my art speak to you? ❤️

🚨 JUST IN: Nick Shirley confirmed that he could be fined $4,000+ for exposing fraud in California
The ‘Stop Nick Shirley’ Act is Unconstitutional
GET THE SUPREME COURT INVOLVED
I sat down with David Adelman, co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and CEO of Campus Apartments ($2B net worth, invested in 90+ companies) and asked him: if he had to start over with nothing today, where would he go looking for his first million and his next $100 million:
5 things that stood out:
1. He judges every business by what he calls the "back of house" - the parts customers never see. At his own properties he skips the lobby and checks the fire escapes and the maintenance shop. In the home service companies he owns, he says he can predict which crews will hit their numbers just by opening the doors of their vans. If the parts nobody's grading are clean and organized, the rest of the business usually is too.
2. He kept coming back to HVAC and electrical companies. The US is short 2 million electricians, and they're already making close to $200,000 a year. Most of the owners running these businesses are pushing 70 with no kids willing to take over, meaning the entire industry is sitting there waiting for someone to show up and take it. He sees this as today's most underexploited asset class, the same way campus housing was decades ago.
3. His filter for people is whether he can trust them to deliver. He says you can't do a deal with someone dishonest and expect that to change once you're partners. But he also told a story on himself: at 24, he walked away from a good deal purely because the seller was rude and condescending, not because the guy was untrustworthy. He lost the property to someone else, and his own partner called him out for it. Being an asshole and being untrustworthy are two different problems, and only one of them should be the reason you kill a deal.
4. Before he backs anyone, he asks himself this question: if this deal fails, would I do a second deal with this same person? He's backed several founders two or three times after a loss, because the failure came down to timing, not character. He'd also rather fund someone who's an 8 in intelligence with a 10 in work ethic than the reverse.
5. He runs the same test on people already working for him. His rule: bad news doesn't get better with time. He wants managers who lead with what's going wrong before what's going right, and it bothers him whenever he loses a customer, a tenant, a season ticket holder, without knowing exactly why beforehand.
Thank you @david_adelman for coming on the pod. Didn't even get through half my questions, so be ready for part two.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Elon Musk and @xAI
“Never been done before – xAI did in 19 days what everyone else needs one year to accomplish. That is superhuman – There's only one person in the world who could do that – Elon Musk is singular in his understanding of engineering.”
@BernieSanders Oh you conveniently forgot Bloomberg, Dustin Moskovitz, Bill Gates, Simons, Fred Eychaner, Reid Hoffman, Stephen Mandel, Pritzker family, Reed Hastings, etc. etc. all blue donors
