@jeffborack @ThierryBorgeat Buying calls for more than they are “worth”, hence the call skew. Protecting against market going higher

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

On today's date in 1901, over half of the U.S. was at or above 90°F and nearly 9% of the land area was at least 100°F. The same weather occurring this week occurred exactly 125 years ago, but according to most climate alarmists, it was just weather in 1901, but this week's three-day event is undeniable proof that we are facing a climate catastrophe.

[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

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. 🇺🇸

@SMickey65012 @JavierBlas I feel like this is not true at all.

Worth noting that since Donald Trump & Marco Rubio shut the USAID program down not a single country in Latin America has voted for a Leftist leader again.

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Ça fait un moment que je me pose des questions sur le bilan (provisoire) de Milei en Argentine. On lit tout et son contraire. Alors j'ai arrêté de lire les commentaires et j'ai regardé les chiffres bruts.

L'Argentine, c'est l'expérience grandeur nature que les économistes attendaient depuis 50 ans. Même pays. Même peuple. Même culture. On change UNE variable : la méthode économique.

Avant : des décennies de gestion étatiste et péroniste, "redistributive". Le résultat concret ? 211% d'inflation, 42% de pauvreté, un État en déficit permanent qui finance son train de vie en faisant tourner la planche à billets.

Puis arrive Milei. Méthode inverse, brutale, assumée : on coupe, on déréglemente, on arrête d'imprimer.

Deux ans plus tard (photo à son arrivée (fin 2023) vs aujourd'hui) :

Inflation annuelle : 211% → 31%
Inflation mensuelle : 25% → ~2%
Déficit public : −5% du PIB → +1,8% (excédent)
Croissance : −1,6% → +4,4%
Pauvreté : 42% → 28%

Sans débat. Jugez par vous-mêmes.

Et le point essentiel : ces gains ne vont pas "aux riches" ou "aux marchés". Ils vont d'abord aux plus pauvres.

L'inflation est l'impôt le plus injuste qui existe — elle frappe ceux qui n'ont aucun actif pour se protéger. La diviser par 7, c'est rendre du pouvoir d'achat à ceux d'en bas. Et 14 points de pauvreté en moins, ce sont des millions de gens, pas une ligne Excel.

Pendant un siècle, on a expliqué aux Argentins que l'État les protégerait en dépensant toujours plus. Résultat : un des pays les plus riches du monde en 1910, ruiné. On vient d'inverser la méthode. Regardez le résultat.

À un moment, il faut accepter ce que les faits racontent : sur le terrain économique, la méthode libérale a livré en deux ans ce que des décennies de socialisme avaient promis sans jamais tenir. Et ça profite d'abord aux plus modestes.

On peut détester le style de Milei — la tronçonneuse, l'outrance, les sorties improbables, il n'a rien d'un homme d'État classique. Mais on ne juge pas une politique économique au style de celui qui la mène. On la juge à ce qu'elle fait à la vie des gens.

Et les chiffres ont parlé.

@RMcgillss @verkan @GnosisWolf Yes. That’s why hockey is the greatest sport, self policing. Don’t disrespect the game, don’t take dives. If you do, you get yours and everyone agrees.

“We should have a communist area and a capitalist area beside each other to see who wins.”

North Korea vs South Korea

East Germany vs West Germany

South America vs North American

We’ve already run this test.

Communism always loses.

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

Not 1°C of warming has been reduced. Not one life was saved. Not 1 ppm of CO₂ has been avoided.

The total climate price tag by 2050 will be $275 trillion—amounting to $9.2 trillion every single year (McKinsey, 2022). That staggering total is roughly 2.5 times the entire annual GDP of the world.

Not one life has been saved from a changing climate that could have been better protected by leaving cheap, reliable, traditional energy in place. This is the ultimate belief gap, and it's staggering.

While the UN chased a global wealth redistribution bonanza, the cost to our future has been colossal. Imagine a world we could have built if that capital hadn't been poured into a failed ideology. The UN wealth redistribution scheme didn't save the planet, it funded a new, fabulously wealthy, bureaucratic class.

Reality is finally calling in the debt.

It's the 20th Anniversary of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."

NONE of his scary predictions have come true.

Mt. Kilimanjaro still has snow and Glacier National Park still has glaciers.

Here's why we are not doomed:

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

Data centers aren't draining this country's water supply, nor are they really polluting it.

The people who say that have never looked at an almond farm in California. Funny how Newsom's state wastes the most water in the Union.

Every data center in America: 17 billion gallons of water a year.

California almond farms alone: 1.3 trillion.

That's 75x. For a snack that we mostly EXPORT.

Data centers are 0.3% of public water. A rounding error. And the new ones recycle it instead of letting it evaporate off.

Microsoft cut potable water 97% at Quincy. Google put 4.5 billion gallons back in the ground last year.

The industry is going net positive while everyone screams.

You want real waste?

Agriculture uses 70% of every drop this country pulls. Power plants burn through tens of trillions of gallons so your lights turn on.

California ships its water hundreds of miles through OPEN aqueducts. No cover. Evaporating into the sky the whole way. Gone before it touches a single crop.

No hearing for that stuff.

AOC waved brown water from a family living 400 feet from a Meta construction site. Blamed AI.

Brown well water next to active earthmoving is a sediment problem. Happens at every big dig.

The EPA found nothing.

So just MAYBE shut up and focus on things that actually impact the water supply.

Want to know what actually poisons a rural well? Fertilizer runoff. Nitrates. The stuff farm country has been pumping into groundwater for decades.

This is the easiest IQ test of the century.

You're a sheep if you think banning data centers saves the environment or protects jobs. LOL.

It's a foreign psyop with Bernie and AOC as the spokesmen. They want the exact thing our adversaries want: a slower, smaller, poorer America.

The people who can't beat us in the lab figured out they can beat us in committee. Wave a jar, cry about jobs, kill a project, ship the future overseas.

You think you're saving water and protecting the working class.

You're digging your own grave.

Those data centers get built anyway. Mexico. South America. The Middle East. Asia. The jobs get created there. The cures get found there. Just not here, if you keep this up.

And to the zoomers in the back booing Eric Schmidt for saying embrace AI: Europe didn't embrace the internet. Look at their GDP and employment rate since 2000s. Now nobody asks for their opinion, while tech built in SF.

Don't build AI here, and in 10 years you're moving to Qatar or China to find work.

Up to you.

Casual reminder that the climate zealots and their elected officials embarked on a taxation scheme expressly designed to make fossil fuels more expensive in order push people toward greener alternatives…those same people are now complaining about higher gas prices…hmm?
