Nothing in this video is replicable. The white boy, the malls, whimsy, absurdist music videos, the 90s, all gone forever. This America no longer exists.
A friendly reminder that House Oversight subpoenaed the records of the congressional sexual harassment slush fund and we will be releasing them. Maybe we’ll see more resignations, you never know. #trashday
I debated MAGA supporters yesterday in LA on a variety of issues (not yet aired). One was corruption, and when I talked about the $2 billion the Saudis invested in Jared Kushner's fund and the massive wealth the UAE funneled to the Trump family through World Financial Liberty 4 days before Trump's inauguration, few if any of them had heard about any of this.
Most said they'd find it disturbing if true, but it was the first they had heard of it. Siloed media -- where you can turn either to corporate media or independent media to hear only things that validate your views and affim your side's greatness, while being shielded from anything that might disturb you or make you think -- is extremely alarming and dangerous.
Good luck to Trump and the GOP without Catholics, Muslims, anti-war voters, fiscal hawks, immigration hawks, prospective home-buyers, anybody who wanted the Epstein Files, anybody who watches Tucker, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, & Candace.
But hey at least they’re popular in Israel.
IRANIAN NAVY: Approaching US warship turn back. The Strait of Hormuz is under our blockade now.
US NAVY: We know. We’ve come to join your blockade of the Strait!

Eric Swalwell was the frontrunner for California governor on Thursday. By Friday night, his campaign chair had resigned, his fundraising page was dead, Adam Schiff was pretending they'd never met, and Nancy Pelosi was speaking about him in the past tense.
The man went from "party standard-bearer" to "we don't know who this guy is" faster than a Snapchat message disappearing from his phone.
The official story is that multiple women came forward with serious allegations and the party responded swiftly. Which, sure, okay. Except "swiftly" undersells it.
Because the demon-rat party's reaction looked like detonating a controlled demolition they'd already wired.
Every endorsement pulled in the same news cycle. Every statement using the same language. Every union, every ally, every surrogate, all reading from the same script that apparently materialized from thin air on a Friday afternoon.
You know what's funny? When Tara Reade accused Joe Biden of the same thing, the entire Democratic apparatus spent months explaining why believing women is more nuanced than it sounds. Biden stayed in. Won the nomination. Won the presidency.
Why? Because Biden was an useful idiot.
Swalwell was not useful. Swalwell was a problem. Eight Democrats splitting the vote in California's top-two primary means two Republicans could lock Democrats out of the general. Steve Hilton is polling at 22%. The math was bad. Swalwel was told to leave. He said no. And then, by extraordinary coincidence, every institutional support system in his political life collapsed simultaneously.
Yup. Totally coincidental.
They did this to Bernie in 2016. They did it to Crockett in Texas, so I don't buy the 'Swalwell is a white dude' argument either.
Since the blue party does not have voters, it must rely on a plan. And if you happen to be standing where the plan needs to go, they will move you. The allegations might be true. They might not be. It doesn't matter!
The point is the party didn't wait to find out because the point was never the allegations.
The point was power...
When your working life rewards you, it’s easy to ratchet up the complexity: homes, cars, travel, possessions etc.
I have found that all that complexity comes at the sake of your most fleeting asset: your time. Instead of building things, all of a sudden you’re dealing with minutiae and logistics. Instead of talking mostly to engineers, you’re talking mostly to non-engineers. The building stops…the business of managing self inflicted complexity begins.
It’s worth noting that the best players in the game (Buffett, Elon) have kept their life extremely basic, almost monastic/nomadic, as success ratcheted them ever higher.
I think it’s the biggest secret hiding in plain sight:
When the world upgrades your status, downgrade your complexity.
Trump should remember the work we did to elect him.
He would do well to remember who took shots for him and who shot at him.
Man cannot serve two masters, he must decide between Israel & America.
Israel seems like the man in a dress using the women’s bathroom. You either think it’s brave, courageous, and beautiful or you think it’s predatory, deceptive, and wrong.
My outlook on money has always borrowed from Buddhism. Desire is suffering. The less you want, the better off you feel. If you can take a walk in the sun, and really enjoy it, what does that cost.
