“Dreams Don't Die” is now live.
A reflective Americana roots ballad about discovering music later in life and wondering what might’ve been if the door had opened sooner.
“Dreams don't die just cause you're old.”

That, and I'm not going to use the word that comes to mind, congress person, has a demonstrated bias against the president and is apparently intentionally misrepresenting the videos. I see a person with their eyes closed, but I've never seen someone fall asleep with their head turned when sitting. It always returns to a neutral position. Not saying it can't happen, but it's not what I'm seeing. Being as this congress person has an intentional, shown, and demonstrated bias against the President, he'll use anything to attempt to cause others to think less of the President, if he can at all achieve it. This is just an example of desperation by a weak, feckless, POS congress person.
No law enforcement to stop the street from being blocked?
No law enforcement to deal with those threatening others?
No law enforcement to deal with people egress intentionally restricted by civilians?
WTAF!
🚨 JUST NOW: A rioter who JUMPED IN FRONT OF a civilian employee driving out of Delaney Hall in Newark LOST a game of chicken with the vehicle
Pure FAFO.
Diving in front of a convoy of fast moving government contracted vehicles is a GREAT way to spend domestic nights in the hospital.
Hope this was a lesson!
It seems like your math is not mathing. I'm counting 3.4 trillion, maybe 3.5 trillion.
Regardless it's still big numbers that most people can't wrap their heads around, including me. Hell, I have difficulty with $100,000.
However, despite that downturn in numbers, somebody, or multiple somebody's, made that amount I'm willing to bet.
Those numbers have to go somewhere and it's just not to most of us.
🚨 EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG FOR MARKETS WENT WRONG TODAY.
S&P 500 down -1.65%, wiping out $1.14 trillion.
Nasdaq down -2.60%, wiping out $1.11 trillion.
Gold down -3.38%, wiping out $1 trillion.
Silver down -6.9%, wiping out $280 billion.
Bitcoin down -6.31%, wiping out $80 billion.
In total $2.5 TRILLION wiped out in a single session. These were not isolated moves. Everything started breaking at the same time.
It started with the jobs report this morning.
The US economy added 172,000 jobs in May. Wall Street expected 88,000. That is almost double.
On any normal day, strong jobs is good news. But inflation is already at 3.8% and oil is sitting at $90. A labor market this strong tells the Fed it cannot cut interest rates and may actually need to raise them.
The probability of a rate hike this year went from 40% to 57% in a single day. That spooked every investor holding tech and growth stocks because higher rates mean those stocks are worth less today.
Then the AI trade started cracking.
Yesterday Broadcom reported record earnings: revenue up 48%, AI chip sales up 143% and the stock still crashed 12.6%. The reason was simple.
Broadcom did not raise its AI revenue targets for the year. Investors had expected it to. That single miss made people ask a question they had been avoiding for months: are we paying too much for AI stocks?
That question got louder today when a research firm called SemiAnalysis revealed that Nvidia's next-generation AI chips will need significantly less memory than everyone assumed, roughly half of what the market was pricing in.
Memory chips are what companies like SK Hynix and Samsung make. SK Hynix fell nearly 10% today. Samsung fell over 6%.
South Korea's entire stock market crashed 5.5% in a single session. Japan's semiconductor stocks did the same.
And then Anthropic added fuel to the fire by publishing a report warning that AI is getting close to the point where it can improve itself without human help and calling for a global pause in AI development.
Coming on the same day as the memory demand news and Broadcom's miss, it fed a single growing fear across the market: what if the AI boom is moving faster than the business models can keep up with?
Underneath all of this, there is a liquidity problem nobody is talking about.
SpaceX goes public next week at a $1.75 trillion valuation. Anthropic just filed to go public. OpenAI is next.
These three companies together are worth $4 to $5 trillion. Fund managers need cash to buy into these listings.
But cash levels are already at their lowest since early 2024. The only way to raise cash is to sell what they already own. That selling is happening right now.
The new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will also hold his very first policy meeting in 11 days. He was appointed by Trump with the expectation of cutting rates.
He is now walking into a situation where inflation is high, oil is high, and the job market is running hot. Investors do not know what he will do.
When nobody knows what the most powerful central banker in the world will decide in less than two weeks, the safest move is to reduce risk today.
Everything that could go wrong, went wrong at the same time. A hot jobs report, a collapsing ceasefire, a crack in the AI trade, a trillion dollar liquidity drain, and a Fed meeting with no clear outcome.
Isn't there video of the accuser admitting that they lied about who did the crime, admitting that they had done it instead, whatever this Colorado thing is, something about elections interference or something?
They railroaded Tina Peters.
Jena Griswold should face prison for this injustice against Peters and the citizens of Colorado.
Tina Peters Case: Is it your position that someone can be charged with crimes they never committed?”
"Journalist" used to be defined, and I'm paraphrasing here for the idiots who might read this, as someone who sought the truth behind a particular subject. Told the who, what, when, where, and the stated why, never injecting their own opinion into the story. Letting the reader determine the why themselves, trusting the reader to form their own opinion on the subject.
Today, again, paraphrasing for the idiots, a "journalist" starts with their own opinion, MAY... try to get one fact to support their opinion, then publishes a "story" as fact, trying to bolster a particular narrative. Regardless, their objective is to further what ever narrative it is they support.
Increasingly, that narrative is in support of socialism, communism, progressivism, pedophilia, islam, and any other ideal that tears at the fabric of America and "western culture".
What these "journalists" don't, refuse, or are incapable of understanding is that they would be amoung the first killed by such a regime, for several reasons;
1 - They are standing at the forefront of a event.
2 - Their potential for spreading the incorrect narrative.
3 - Their published support for gays, alphabet people ( lgbt... what ever ) and/or their direct involvement in such activities.
Anyone who says I'm a liar is either a left-wing ideologist, a muslim, an actual liar themselves and/or a useful idiot for those ideals.
In this particular instance, someone who has never created a job and is incapable of creating a job that produces a physical item, has never successfully operated and is incapable of creating a business long term, is actively tearing at someone who is/has, and hides behind their screen telling others to beware of the "bad man". Never producing actual evidence, only supposition and innuendo. Has also never been punched in the mouth for their indiscretion.
I'm just sayin'...
Larry Ellison acaba de hacer la única pregunta que ningún periodista en la Tierra puede responder.
Un periodista del Wall Street Journal le dijo a la cara a Larry Ellison que Elon Musk no sabe lo que hace.
Ellison solo le hizo una pregunta.
Ellison:
“Este tipo aterriza cohetes sobre plataformas robóticas en medio del océano… ¿y tú dices que no sabe lo que hace? ¿Alguna vez has aterrizado un cohete?”
“¿Quién eres tú? ¿Por qué debería creerte a ti antes que a mi amigo Elon?”
Esta es la pregunta que toda la clase mediática lleva una década esquivando:
¿Quién eres tú para juzgar?
¿Qué has construido?
¿Qué has lanzado?
¿Qué problema has resuelto que no implique un teclado y una fecha límite?
Ellison:
“Ahí estás tú, delante de tu Apple Macintosh, escribiendo un artículo diciendo que Elon es un idiota.”
Se sientan detrás de un portátil que no diseñaron.
Usan una red que no construyeron.
Funcionando sobre chips de silicio que ni siquiera pueden explicar.
Para decirle al mundo que el hombre que envía humanos al espacio no sabe lo que hace.
Nunca han construido nada más pesado que un documento de Word.
Y aun así lo publican con absoluta certeza.
Eso es lo que debería inquietarte.
No la crítica.
Sino la confianza con la que la hacen.
La ausencia total de autoconciencia necesaria para juzgar disciplinas en las que no durarían ni un semestre.
Musk no opera en opiniones.
Opera en la capa física del universo, donde las matemáticas funcionan… o el cohete no regresa.
Sus críticos operan en un editor de texto.
Construyó el vehículo que transporta astronautas de la NASA a la Estación Espacial Internacional.
La constelación de satélites que lleva internet a zonas de guerra activas.
El coche eléctrico que obligó a todos los fabricantes del planeta a abandonar sus planes basados en motores de combustión.
Sus críticos más ruidosos construyeron una firma al final de un artículo.
Entonces… ¿por qué tanto odio coordinado?
Porque perdieron la correa.
Los ataques no aumentaron porque Musk empeorara como ingeniero.
Aumentaron porque compró X.
Abrió el algoritmo.
Le devolvió la plaza pública a la gente.
Y destruyó su capacidad de controlar lo que puedes pensar.
No odian al ingeniero.
Odian que el ingeniero les quitó el monopolio.
No puedes cancelar un cohete.
No puedes publicar un artículo contra la gravedad.
No puedes editar las leyes de la física.
Ellos controlan la narrativa.
Él controla la física.
Y uno de los dos va camino a Marte.
The Cosmic Treasure Chest: 10 Million Galaxies in a Single FrameThis is the first major image released by the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy — the 3.2-gigapixel LSST Camera on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.And it is absolutely staggering.Every single speck of light you see in this vast field is not a star.
It is an entire galaxy — each one home to hundreds of billions of stars, planets, and possibly entire https://t.co/yQw975mDbW this one breathtaking snapshot, astronomers have captured roughly 10 million galaxies. That’s only about 0.05% of the total number this revolutionary observatory is expected to image over its 10-year survey.Captured in the direction of the Virgo Cluster, this image transforms what looks like empty space into a glittering tapestry of distant universes stretching back billions of years. The few brighter foreground stars belong to our own Milky Way — everything else is far beyond our galaxy.This is more than just a pretty picture.
It is a preview of a new era in astronomy — where we will map the changing universe in unprecedented detail, hunt for mysterious dark matter and dark energy, discover thousands of new asteroids, and witness cosmic events as they unfold in real time.Welcome to the future of discovery.

Yes, yes, yes.
Next they need to disband teachers unions.
Why you ask?
Teachers caught diddling kids at school by the schools, commit additional crime by not reporting it to law enforcement, the teachers union moves them to a different school, even out of state, and further exposes the innocent to a predator.
Crimes commited in this scenario, at a minimum:
1 - Molestation of a child. The teacher, State & Federal crimes.
2 - Failure to report the crime. The school admin, State & Federal crimes.
3 - Conspiracy to commit. The union, school, and teacher, State & Federal crimes.
4 - Crossing state lines in avoidance of a felony and/or the commission of a felony. The teacher, the union or school if they escort the teacher. Federal crimes.
The Education department funded the whole enterprise. Teacher, school, and union.
"Oh, they didn't know that would happen, it's not the Education departments fault."
If they funded it, it's their job to become aware, completely and thoroughly investigate allegations of misconduct. They wouldn't do it, they're complicit.
Additionally, education got worse throughout our country despite multiple billions of dollars being thrown at it. Kind of like the homeless situation, once the organization is formed to combat it, if you are successful, you lose your job, so there's no incentive to be successful. Additionally they pay top people ludicrous salaries.
Why?
What compassion do you have for the convicted?
Their adults, they did wrong, regardless of the motivation, they got caught, tried, found guilty. Now they need to do the time for the various crimes, THEY commited.
Theoretically, one of them is convicted of attempted murder, felony battery on police, conspiracy to commit. Those individually could carry 25 + 10 + 8years = 43 years. Doing time for one crime is not doing time for another crime too.
Subsequent potential offenders see the 43 years, with no time off for good behavior or parole, their not going to risk it, if their a "normal" person. Those of the continuing crime mind set are abnormal and don't give 2 s**ts about what they get convicted of. To those, it's a game.
@SaltyGoat17 10 - 25, most serious convictions = longest sentences, to run consecutively, not concurrently. Concurrently is not a sentence for an additional conviction steming from the original action by the convicted.
That's not the point of the conversation I overheard.
An example would be, the bearded police man came up to the barricade tape, stood close infront of the person doing the videoing, telling him to not record. If the guy doing the video formed a knife hand, then struck that officer in the throat, hard, in the front of his throat and everyone who are told by police to not record, do the same, it might be hundreds of people across england. Would the police shut up about you can't record?
I think it would be bad if that happenedin America. However, would it be bad in england too, considering the current increase of police misbehavior? Not my country, I have no idea about the actual situation, just the amount of things bring currently posted.
@AIUpdatesX What kind of data collection, retention, use, and/or sales from that data is there? The use of these can't be completely free for use without them selling some amount of info collected
Abortion is a violation of the 5th Amendment. The baby is killed absent a Grand Jury presentment, a Grand Jury bill or no-bill, a trial where they are told of their crime, refused the ability to face their accusers, 6th Amendment territory, their Right to a trial by an impartial jury, and a violation of their 14th Amendment for violation of equal protection under the law.
Regardless of feelings, every living human is protected by those enumerated Rights under a minimum of 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments. I'm probably missing more.
Feelings, emotions, convenience, just because, and lack of personal responsibility, are not viable excuses.
Also, what it's don't count either. Sorry.
That's a separate human, with separate DNA, and a separate future. You can't kill it, absent murder in the 1st degree.
IF... this is not a scripted event m, I'd be extremely surprised.
No judge would let a police officer off the hook for the mistreatment. That officer would be incarcerated by the judge for contempt, even though that in itself is a Constitutional violation.
At a minimum, depending on what court she's with, having deputies arrive to contain the offending officer.
Do, I'm calling bull**it.
Just got a letter from the US Department of Justice, confirming the guy who swatted me the first three times, is now serving 4 years in prison.
FAFO - that’s two people now who have threatened me who are behind bars.
There are serious consequences now for these leftists who threaten our lives.
Additionally, the "big guys", and you may have intimated this already, are physically closer to the trading servers, having shorter physical distances thier fiber lines must trabsit data, dealing microseconds before others. Yet, even they have dips. The rest of us are working with the macro scale of old data.
At least that's my reading about the situation.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
@Trad_Dad13@Mappy6984 That was a reminder for me.
I'm going to a Scotch and Cigar event in Florida soon. I'll probably be smokin' a stories as I driven while I'm there.
That guy, that guy was an idiot .
