The I-80 in California has been turned into a 6 mile long snow covered parking lot near Emigrant Gap.
Gavin Newsom is having pallets of his new book parachuted in to help those stranded pass the time. Probably.
I have just learned that my long-time friend and partner in philanthropy, Ruben Vardanyan, wrongly imprisoned for his advocacy of Armenian sovereignty and safety in Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh), has received a prison sentence of 20 years from his captors in Azerbaijan. This is a travesty. It is ludicrous. Those around the world who believe in peace and justice, in decency and fairness, must continue fighting for his release, as I will do. Ruben’s family said it best: this judgment is a judgment against the Armenian people as a whole.

On Saturday, February 7, 2026, a group of Haredi Jews took turns spitting at the entrance to St. James Monastery.
According to data published by the Israeli watchdog Religious Freedom Data Center (RFDC), Armenians are disproportionately targeted by these hate crimes.

Azerbaijan’s illegal detention and sentencing of Artsakh Armenians are an affront to international law and human rights — and confirm that Azerbaijan has no interest in honoring its peace agreement.
I urge VP Vance to use his upcoming visit to demand the release of all hostages and an end to the systematic ethnic cleansing of Artsakh's Armenian population.
In Politico’s Morning Money today, which is always a great read, Victoria Guida and Sam Sutton note that: “Kevin Warsh, tapped by President Donald Trump to chair the Federal Reserve, has promised big changes at the central bank. One of the biggest shifts could come in one of the Fed’s most powerful tools: how it communicates. Namely, it’s a pretty good bet that a Warsh-led Fed will say a lot less.”
This shift would align with the views of many, myself included, who have worried that Fed communication has become increasingly less effective as a tool for forward guidance.
Too often, recent Fed messaging has come across as confused and confusing, inadvertently contributing to avoidable volatility.

California Democrats new mileage tax scam
“When you add up the car tax, the gas tax, and this new mileage tax, for a family with 2 cars, a working family with 2 parents driving, they would have to pay $4,200 a year to the state of California just for the privilege of driving on crappy roads. $4,200, and that's after their income taxes. That doesn't include gas price, it doesn't include the car, the insurance. What are we thinking here?”

🚨 NOW: People are screaming “F*** YOU, KAREN BASS” as the Los Angeles Mayor leaves Don Lemon’s court hearing
Wouldn’t be surprised if these are folks who lost their homes in the fires and are STILL barred from rebuilding
Bass is Walz-level retarded
