@BullTheoryio Yep. I saw that coming and sold my best performing mutual fund 3 weeks ago - VITAX. 😉.

I’m sitting on some cash waiting for an opportunity to jump right back in.

And this is why Vanguard is the best place to invest.

@BullTheoryio

$1 Trillion wasn’t wiped out from US stocks, it was transferred from retail longs to institutional shorts.

On July 1, E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures saw open interest rise +1,202 contracts to 278,609 with over 525,000 contracts traded as Nasdaq dumped. Rising open interest on a down day is a clear signal that institutions were adding fresh short positions.

This fits the broader picture. As of June 15, 2026, short interest across all 5,423 Nasdaq securities totaled 21.95 billion shares. QQQ short interest was up 4.6% in the latest period, with elevated shorts also seen in tech and software ETFs.

Classic case of longs paying while shorts collected.

The futures OI increase on NQ + high volume on July 1 is the cleanest real-world evidence supporting my point: institutions were actively shorting (or adding to shorts) via futures while retail/long holders absorbed the mark-to-market losses.

One quick trade in the morning and my platform is closed for the rest of the day 😉

[CapitolGains @QCapitolGains]

Yes! Strongly agree with you! You just can’t make this up 😂

Trump’s own investment accounts bought 327 stocks worth up to $12.8 million on April 8, 2025 the day before he announced the 90-day tariff pause.

We saw this played over and over with many previous administrations but not to that degree. Dump the market, kill it on shorting futures than use those proceeds to load on stocks and pump the market up.

Trump buys included Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, and Alphabet.

The next day the S&P 500 ripped +9.52% (+474 points), one of its biggest single-day gains ever. Markets moved in minutes once the announcement hit.

The trades were only disclosed over a year later in his 2026 annual report. He paid the $200 late fee. Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣

This timing looks suspicious, but the bigger picture is how these public announcements created insane, tradable volatility that anyone following Trump’s feed could play in futures, especially those who knew before hand what Trump would say.

Key 2025 tariff timeline & SPX/ES moves (Canada - Europe threats - China focus):

1. Feb 1, 2025: Trump announces 25% tariffs on Canada & Mexico + 10% on China (fentanyl/border related). Paused briefly, then imposed March 4. Markets sold off hard on confirmation.

2. April 2, 2025 (“Liberation Day”): Broad reciprocal tariffs announced (10% baseline + higher country-specific rates).
April 3: S&P 500 -4.84% (worst day since 2020), -275 pts. Dow -1,679 pts. Nasdaq -6%. ES futures were already down -3.9% pre-market.

3. April 9, 2025: Trump announces 90-day pause on most tariffs (while hiking China).
S&P 500 +9.52% (+474 pts) - biggest one-day gain since 2008. Dow +2,962 pts. Nasdaq +12%+.

ES futures were swinging hundreds of points in single sessions in minutes. 20 contracts catching 400-500+ pt moves a couple times? Easy retirement money if you played both sides on the public news. Retail got absolutely wrecked on the volatility.

Same story with oil futures in 2026 (Iran/Israel + Trump peace talk on/off):
Trump’s public comments on ceasefires/talks caused $15–20+ daily swings (sometimes way more in % terms).

Classic example: April 7–8, 2026 ceasefire announcement WTI oil futures -16%+ in one day (biggest drop since 2020), Brent -13%. Prices dropped from $110–117 range toward the mid-$90s.

Earlier in the crisis (March 2026 Hormuz closure/escalation) oil had massive surges. Then on/off talks and threats kept it swinging wildly.

Futures/ETFs traders who followed the public statements made fortunes going long/short.

Wrong side or over-leveraged? Accounts wiped in less than 3 hours.

These weren’t hidden signals, they were loud, public, calculated policy tweets that moved trillions.

Once Trump actually tweeted or announced something, it was public. Algos and fast traders could react in seconds. But catching the full move (especially the initial violent leg) heavily rewarded anyone who was already positioned or had a very good read on “insider” knowledge on what he was about to do.

The real edge here wasn’t secret corporate information, it was proximity to (or close study of) Trump’s next move on policy he directly controlled. That’s why episodes like his accounts loading up the day before a historic rally keep raising questions.

I think I lost over $750,000 on these days as I was positioned day before on the wrong side 🤣.

Markets reward the prepared, not the “insiders.” Best way to make money is watch Trump tweets and follow them blindly 🤣.

This is generational wealth creation, not just another savings account and many people still do not understand it.

Trump Accounts are private, individual investment accounts (essentially a child’s own IRA) held in the child’s name. Parents or guardians manage them until 18, then the child takes full control. The money can be invested in broad U.S. equity index funds, real ownership in American companies and the stock market- not a government-managed pool.

That $1,000 seed (for kids born 2025–2028) gets invested immediately. Then parents, family, employers, and now 80+ corporations plus potentially up to 20 states can add fuel. The result? Decades of compound growth starting from childhood.

By 18, even moderate contributions can create a six-figure launchpad. Let it keep growing and it becomes life-changing capital - first home, education without debt, starting a business, or retirement security.

Switzerland proves the power of this approach. Their pension system gets citizens investing early and consistently in diversified portfolios that include equities. The outcome? One of the highest per-capita wealth levels in the world, with many building serious financial strength far earlier than in systems that delay investing.

Time in the market + early start = transformative results.

This isn’t a program.

It’s handing every American child skin in the game from day one.

The game just changed permanently.

We’re not debating handouts anymore.

We’re building a nation of owners.
Open the account. Plant the seed. Watch the next generation win. 🇺🇸

Look into Vanguard, US Bank Wealth Management, Fidelity, maybe even Schwab.

[CapitolGains @QCapitolGains]

Birthright citizenship is being gamed via Chinese birth and other nations tourism and surrogacy, producing up to 1 million U.S. citizens raised under CCP systems.

These citizens, many with primary loyalties formed abroad, become eligible voters starting 2028.

U.S. presidential elections turn on the Electoral College. Winner-take-all rules in most states mean tiny margins in swing states decide everything.

Recent cycles prove this: Georgia flipped by 11,800 votes (2020), Arizona by 10,500, Wisconsin by 20,700. Even smaller shifts in key districts deliver entire states’ electoral votes.

Strategic placement of even a fraction of 1 million votes in battleground districts can flip multiple states. High-impact areas include:
1. Maricopa County, Arizona (Phoenix metro): Often decides the state’s 11 electoral votes with margins in the tens of thousands.
2. Gwinnett and Cobb counties, Georgia (Atlanta suburbs): Pivotal in the state’s ~11,800-vote 2020 margin.
3. Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester counties, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia suburbs): Suburban swings have repeatedly determined Pennsylvania’s outcome.
4. Oakland and Macomb counties, Michigan: Detroit-metro districts where small changes tip the state’s 15–16 electoral votes.

Expanded mail-in and absentee voting with signature verification and weak chain-of-custody plus absent or lax voter ID in several states, lowers barriers for coordinated or influenced ballots. Residency enforcement is porous. This creates a recipe for disaster: manipulated close races erode trust, spark instability, and make recovery nearly impossible.

Beyond elections, this replaces the electorate. Automatic citizenship without assimilation or allegiance gradually changes who holds power and what “American” priorities mean.

A voting bloc shaped by CCP and South America upbringing could push softer border policies to expand similar pathways, China-friendly trade deals reducing tariffs and tech restrictions, weakened security measures avoiding confrontation over Taiwan or the South China Sea, and federal appointments favoring officials less adversarial toward Beijing.

Birthright citizenship as practiced isn’t a right, it’s a loophole that risks letting foreign-raised citizens rewrite America’s future from the inside.

[CapitolGains @QCapitolGains]

😂😂😂 Stephen Miller is cooking with fire here.

If the Supreme Court says birth on “US soil” equals automatic citizen no matter what… then watch the world’s pregnant women turn every US Embassy into the ultimate maternity ward.

Picture it: lines around the block at the embassy in Mexico City, Beijing, Lagos, Paris and Middle East! lol
“Sir, is this technically US soil? Perfect! My contractions just started. Welcome to America, little anchor baby!”

Security guards handing out birth certificates like they’re concert tickets. Diplomats running for cover. The State Department budget suddenly needs a “global diaper fund.”

Miller’s 100% right. American citizenship isn’t the birthright of the entire planet. It belongs to Americans.

Time to shut this loophole circus down with real enforcement before every embassy needs a maternity wing.

This is comedy gold… until it’s not. 🤣

[CapitolGains @QCapitolGains]

@RandPaul

Senator, I agree the courts have been the problem and an amendment would lock this in permanently, that would be a huge help.

But we don’t need one to fix it right now.

Either we have the laws or we don’t.
How can babies of foreign nationals become automatic U.S. citizens when their parents are not subject to the full jurisdiction of the United States and when those same parents violated our immigration laws to get here, whether by overstaying visas or breaking through the border? It’s absurd.

The 14th Amendment was written for freed slaves, not as a reward for lawbreaking. Framer Sen. Jacob Howard made it crystal clear it would not apply to “foreigners, aliens.”
We already have the tools. President Trump just needs to use them with a stronger, jurisdiction-focused Executive Order that enforces existing law instead of waiting on courts or Congress.

Here’s the fix - Trump’s Sovereignty Restoration EO:

1. Every single person entering the United States (airports, ports, borders) must sign an automatic, binding contract with the U.S. Government:
“I acknowledge I am not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. Any child born to me in the United States is NOT a U.S. citizen under the 14th Amendment because I am not fully subject to the jurisdiction thereof. I waive all claims to birthright citizenship for my children. I am subject only to U.S. criminal and immigration laws.”
Refuse to sign? You don’t enter. It automatically applies to all illegal entries.

2. For anyone who enters illegally while pregnant or becomes pregnant after sneaking in: The EO declares that the parents and child are not “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” for 14th Amendment purposes. They are subject only to U.S. criminal and immigration laws - which they already broke. No citizenship. No benefits. No passport. Immediate family deportation. The baby is treated as the child of foreign nationals , not an American.

3. No pregnant person is allowed to enter the U.S. to exploit birthright citizenship, legal or illegal unless they sign the contract. If you’re here or trying to sneak in pregnant to game the system, entry is denied or you’re removed.

This isn’t rewriting the Constitution. It’s enforcing it exactly as written and originally understood.

The previous EO got struck down because it didn’t hit the “subject to the jurisdiction” clause hard enough with clear enforcement mechanisms. This one does, backed by existing immigration law.

Senator Paul, let’s stop pretending the courts have the final say on sovereignty. Trump can close the loophole today with real enforcement.

An amendment later would be the cherry on top.

The absurdity ends. Jurisdiction is restored. American citizenship means something again.

[CapitolGains @QCapitolGains]

It can be fixed now and forever.

The 14th Amendment was written in 1868 for freed slaves after the Civil War, not as a loophole for people who cross the border illegally (or overstay visas) to have a baby on U.S. soil and manufacture an American citizen.

Framer Senator Jacob Howard was crystal clear when introducing the Citizenship Clause:
“This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens…”

Yet more than 250,000 anchor babies are born every year to illegal immigrant parents. That’s hundreds of thousands of new “citizens” annually draining billions from American taxpayers in education, healthcare, welfare, and more for kids whose parents broke the law to get here.

President Trump should issue the SOVEREIGNTY RESTORATION EXECUTIVE ORDER today!

This one is simple, ironclad, and built to last because it enforces the Constitution’s actual text and original meaning instead of activist rewriting:

1. No pregnant person enters the United States to exploit birthright citizenship.
Whether legally or illegally, if you’re pregnant and the clear intent is gaming the system for an “anchor baby,” you’re denied entry or removed. America is not a maternity ward for lawbreakers.

2. Every single person entering the U.S. (airports, ports, borders) signs an automatic, binding contract with the U.S. Government which also automatically applies to illegals crossing the border even if they did not sign it!:
“I acknowledge I am not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. Any child born to me in the United States is NOT a U.S. citizen under the 14th Amendment because I am not fully ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ I waive any and all claims to birthright citizenship for my children. I am subject only to U.S. criminal and immigration laws.”
Refuse to sign? You don’t enter. Period.

3. For anyone who enters illegally while pregnant or becomes pregnant after sneaking in:
The EO declares that you and your child are not “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” for purposes of the 14th Amendment. You owe allegiance to your home country and are here in violation of our laws. You and your family are subject only to US criminal and immigration laws! No U.S. citizenship. No benefits. No passport. Immediate removal proceedings for the entire family. The baby is the child of foreign nationals, not an American just like all the babies born to foreign diplomats on US soil who are not automatically becoming US citizens.

This isn’t rewriting the Constitution.
This is enforcing it exactly as the Framers wrote it and intended it: full political jurisdiction and allegiance required for automatic citizenship at birth. Illegals and temporary visitors don’t qualify.

Roberts and Barrett may have protected the loophole. Trump will protect American sovereignty and the meaning of citizenship.

Do it Mr. President!! Make this EO the final nail in the anchor baby coffin. Root it in the original public meaning, congressional debates, national security, and the massive fiscal burden on American families.

No more free American citizenship for those who break in to have a baby.

No more loophole.

No more exploitation.

Sign the contract or stay the hell out.
Your baby. Your problem. Not America’s giveaway.

America First. Citizenship for Americans. Forever. 🇺🇸

@elonmusk @EricTrump

Justice Jackson, your “steal a wallet in Japan” analogy reveals a shallow grasp of the 14th Amendment. It declares: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.” The jurisdiction clause was deliberately added to limit automatic citizenship to those fully under U.S. sovereign authority, not temporary visitors or foreigners owing primary allegiance elsewhere.

Children of foreign diplomats born here receive no automatic citizenship exactly because they are exempt from full U.S. jurisdiction. Most countries n the world: Germany, China, Russia, Netherlands, Egypt, South Africa, Cambodia correctly reject unconditional birthright citizenship for the same reason: birthplace alone does not make a child a citizen when the parents are foreign nationals.

Your reduction of this profound constitutional requirement to “I can be arrested for shoplifting, therefore allegiance” is not sophisticated legal reasoning. It is simplistic wordplay that collapses under history, text, and global practice.

When a Supreme Court Justice mistakes criminal liability for sovereign jurisdiction and allegiance, it proves she lacks the intellectual rigor the Constitution demands and has no business sitting on the Court.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Therefore, lifetime appointments of Supreme Court Justices whose rulings impact the law of the land for decades must end and be limited to 10 years to limit the political influence and impact of such appointments.

What a perfect summer day for wandering through the woods and foraging! 🌲💙

I spent a little over three hours hiking and picking wild blueberries, and came home with more than four cups (over a liter) of those tiny, sweet gems. The season has only just begun, and the bushes are absolutely loaded, you could pick until you’re blue in the face and still not make a dent! 😂

Turned my first harvest into three beautiful jars of homemade wild blueberry jam with only 3 ingredients.

The kitchen smells incredible, and I already know these are going to be special. My kids love it.

Anyone else out foraging right now? I’d love to hear what you’re finding!

The reason a lot of people are “okay” with 53% + 13% is simple: a huge chunk of the workforce (and voters) are on the government payroll or retired from it.

When you work for the government (federal, provincial, or municipal), you stop caring how high taxes go because the system protects you:
1. Near-impossible to fire (strong unions + tenure-like protections)
2. Excellent defined-benefit pensions, many long-serving or senior roles pull $8k–$12k+ per month in retirement - Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security
3. Lifetime health and dental benefits (often for you and your spouse)
4. Generous paid vacation (4–6+ weeks), sick leave, holidays, and flexible time off
5. Overtime pay or comp time in many roles
6. Steady paycheck and benefits no matter what the economy does
7. In a ton of positions the actual work is administrative: meetings, reports, compliance, process, and oversight, not high-pressure value creation like the private sector

It’s the same if not better in the US.

The productive private sector funds all of it while getting squeezed on both ends. No wonder the people inside the system don’t mind hiking taxes on everyone else.

And yeah… if you’re not clearing enough to hit the top bracket, it doesn’t hurt as much… until everything else gets more expensive because of it.

Vanguard is my favorite place to invest.

Vanguard’s low-cost index funds make long-term investing simple and powerful. Forget daily trading - that’s gambling. Go to the casino if you want the thrill or play poker with friends.

Real wealth comes from compounding assets over time. Here’s the data on my favorite funds:
1. VFIAX (S&P 500): 15.6% annualized over 10 years, ~9% since 2000 — historically turning money into 4–6x over 20 years.
2. VITAX (Tech): 25.4% annualized over 10 years — a standout long-term performer.
3. VONG (Growth): Just 0.06% expense ratio for broad large-cap growth exposure.

Nobody becomes a millionaire overnight, and virtually no one has built lasting wealth by day trading futures. Put money in low-cost Vanguard funds, leave it alone, and let compounding do the work over decades. That’s how it actually works.
