Karen Bass, the destroyer of Los Angeles, has managed to unite all off my friends regardless of politics. We are all in agreement that she is the absolute worst. Yet half the city voted for more of her “needles, crime, and human shit”policies. Evidently there’s no fixing stupid.
One of the most fascinating geological discoveries is the existence of “polystrate fossils”, fossilized trees that run vertically through multiple layers of rock.
Some even pass through layers supposedly separated by millions of years.
The problem?
A dead tree doesn’t stand upright for millions of years waiting for sediment to slowly build around it. It rots. It collapses.
These trees appear to have been rapidly buried by massive sediment flows before they could decay.
Even events like the eruption of 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens showed how catastrophic conditions can quickly bury trees upright in layers of sediment.
The fossil record looks a lot more like the catastrophic world described in Genesis than the slow evolutionary timeline we’ve been sold.
NEW FOOLPROOF PLAN:
1. Fuck shit up now
2. Announce project completion
3. Tell NATO they can either open Hormuz or pay tolls. We don’t fucking care
4. Monitor shit until mid-terms
5. On 11/4/26, fuck up all remaining shit that’s left to fuck up
🚨 BREAKING: EVACUATIONS ORDERS have been issued in Simi Valley, California, in the Greater Los Angeles area as a brush fire threaten entire neighborhoods
Structures are reportedly engulfed — possibly homes.
Pray for anyone in the path of this fast-moving blaze 🙏🏻

To put this in context as I understand it: if President Trump monetizes even a tiny fraction of the GSEs via IPO, he pulls in a few billion up to maybe $30B — just a mark-to-market for the companies.
Real dollars the administration can actually spend? "... a few missiles."
Hyperbole, sure. But the gist is IT'S NOT ENOUGH to move the needle!
What WOULD move it is monetizing the full Gov't stake once the companies are on solid footing on the NYSE and start paying dividends. That means warrant conversion + SPSA writedown, ERCF adjusted down to 2.5% with implicit support, and clear messaging that conservatorship is in the process of ending. Investors get confident, slap on a premium multiple, and we're looking at $500B+ valuations — with the Gov't taking 80% of that while receiving 80 cents of every dividend dollar.
This is where the investment banks come in. Monetizing the Gov't stake is their job.

BREAKING: A whistleblower has reportedly come forward with evidence related to the Biden White House autopen scandal, according to U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin.
If you watch the full Trump-Zelensky press conference, it is very clear that Zelensky, not Trump or Vance, became the antagonist. Both POTUS and VP were very respectful and cordial until Zelensky very publicly ignited a firestorm.
It all starts at 40:30
1) Zelensky essentially rejects how VP described the mandate of POTUS to conduct foreign affairs, and he insinuates that Trump term one did nothing to stop Putin.
2) He then basically tells Vance that his ideas are faulty and that the administration's diplomacy won't work.
These two comments are *deliberately antagonistic.* Everything was all well and good, but Zelensky took two major shots in a public forum, and they had to respond. And respond they did.
Recall, this is the guy who interfered in our electoral politics and called VP "too radical," and bashed Trump in an interview with New York Mag weeks before the election.
Zelensky is ENTIRELY at fault here. 100%.
@rcwhalen@IMFpubs@FHFA Question-first time long time- were MBS securities explicitly guaranteed prior to the GFC and prior to GSE conservatorship? And if they weren't, how did the market behave?
JUST IN: Trump says the reason he refuses to do an interview with 60 Minutes is because Leslie Stahl owes him an apology for claiming Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation
UNREAL. Doocy asks KJP why the Biden/Harris admin can send immediate funding to Lebanon without Congress coming back, but can’t do the same for add'l disaster funds to NC.
KJP calls his question “misinformation."
After a testy exchange, she storms out.
BREAKING: Oklahoma officials just announced that they have removed 450,000 ineligible names from the voter rolls, including 100,000 dead people and 15,000 duplicate registrations that somehow got pushed into the system
"Oklahoma ensures only eligible voters participate in elections in part by following voter list maintenance procedures provided in state law. Since January 1, 2021, Oklahoma election officials have removed 97,065 deceased voters, 143,682 voters who moved out-of-state, 5,607 felons, 14,993 duplicate registrations, and 194,962 inactive voters who were canceled during the address verification process."
Inflated voter rolls are on the Mt. Rushmore of ingredients of fraud. All you need to cheat in an election are ineligible names, universal mail-in voting, no chain of custody on ballots, and vulnerable voting machines. And don't forget a little bit of corruption on the side.
Oklahoma is a red state with 4 million people in it. Numbers like these can easily flip it from deep red to blue overnight. If this is happening there, you can only imagine the problem is 100x worse in other states.
BREAKING: ABC News Whistleblower Affidavit alleging that Kamala Harris was given an unfair advantage in her debate with Donald Trump has been released

BREAKING: Among Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voters, 41% said they would vote for Trump and only 27% say they would vote for Harris, according to a Fox News poll.
BREAKING: Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says the Democrat Party deserves to be renamed the “Anti-Democratic Party” because they are actively trying to prevent her from getting her name on the ballot in several states.
Obama knew. Clinton knew. Biden knew. Kamala knew. Comey knew. Brennan knew. McCabe knew. Strzok knew.Clapper knew.Schiff knew.FBI knew.DOJ knew. CIA knew.State knew. (And Fanni Willis, Jack Smith, Garland, and Alvin Bragg) They all knew (and know) Trump was and is innocent but they smeared and spied on him. And they are trying to jail him again. Worst series of gov't abuse scandals in nation's history. Trump is a crime victim.
Kamala says "getting under control of the housing price, both in terms of affordability to be able to buy a house and rent," wouldn't come until a "second term."
The median monthly housing payment is up 23%+ from just two years ago. Rent is up 20%+ since Biden took office.
