The Dow Jones Industrials Index kicked out Intel $INTC on November 8, 2024 and replaced it with Nvidia $NVDA

Since then Intel is up by over 400%, and Nvidia is up by 34%

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

BREAKING: A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts, per NYT.

In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.

Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, and the Trump family’s deals are expanding.

🚨FIREWORKS just erupted at the Trump stooges' press conference announcing charges against the SPLC.

Todd Blanche jumped in to bail out Kash Patel as he had a total meltdown when a reporter asked him about the latest BOMBSHELL article in The Atlantic magazine.

Total chaos.

A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak.
This is not a talented trader.
"We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row.
That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research.
That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes.
Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses.
There are only two explanations and both should terrify you.
Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime.
Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse.
This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call.
While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings.
You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

[Cyrus Janssen @thecyrusjanssen]

As a US citizen I can honestly say that I am ashamed of my government and flat out embarrassed to call myself a citizen of the United States right now.

The US used to be a country the entire world respected but in just 12 months we have become the laughing stock of the entire world.

Donald Trump has done more to discredit and ruin the United States reputation around the globe than anyone in US history. And my biggest fear is that it could take decades to repair and gain trust with our allies and partners.

Trump ran on the platform of "No More Wars". All the Republicans gathered around Trump and sold the American public a lie:

"If you vote for Kamala, the US will go to war with Iran"

Now Trump and his minions in the White House have done a complete 180. They not only want a war with Iran, they want to start more wars and chaos around the globe.

Instead of running our country and improving the lives of US citizens, the White House is busy making cartoons and memes to share on X 🤦‍♂️

You literally can't make up how corrupt, immoral, irresponsible, and just plain stupid the people are running this country.

BREAKING: A new video is released by Georgia Fort of the moment when Trump's agents showed up at her door to arrest her.

Fort is an independent Twin Cities journalist. She was arrested filming and reporting on a protest at a St. Paul church.

Fort had already been arrested once before by federal agents for covering the same protest.

This is Trump’s America.

Like Don Lemon, Georgia Fort was arrested for journalism. When the federal government starts arresting reporters simply for documenting events of public concern, it sends a chilling message to every journalist in this country.

The First Amendment does not belong to Donald Trump or his administration. It exists to protect the press, to hold power accountable, and to ensure the public knows what is being done in its name. Arresting journalists for reporting is authoritarian behavior and we must call it out every time it happens.

BREAKING: Actor Ben Stiller just posted this letter to America:

“I love our country. But, like so many of us, I’m concerned about the future of our democracy.

We’ve now seen the violent murder of American citizens, killed in cold blood in broad daylight by masked ICE agents. These were our neighbors, their lives ended by armed militias entering our communities with impunity. They were denied due process in life and dignity in death by an administration who refuted the reality the world saw, shifting blame to the victims and creating false narratives about their lives and those fateful days.

The Framers of our Constitution believed in checks and balances to power, adding the Bill of Rights specifically to protect individual liberties from potential government overreach. And yet here we are. Innocent people are being harassed, separated from their families, and in some cases killed.

Peaceful protest is a constitutionally protected form of free speech that is essential to our existence as a democracy. We have the right to disagree with the actions of the government we elect. The First Amendment also names and protects the freedom of the press. And yet journalists and political commentators have been arrested. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”.

Our elected representatives, from the President and members of Congress to the people they appoint and approve, have a responsibility to act with integrity and honesty. To uphold our ideals and values as a nation. To not lie to us, in the face of the plain facts.

We must demand that they represent the expressed will of the people they serve, including removing ICE from our streets. We must demand justice and an end to this lethal chaos.

I believe we can reverse this slide toward division and hate. Facing this moment with a return to empathy and love for one another might sound naive, but it’s ultimately what will move our country forward and out of this.”

Congress mandated that Bondi and her DOJ release the full Epstein Files. They refuse, and are breaking the law in hiding them.

Seth Moulton just went scorched earth on ICE:

“You are cowards… pathetic, untrained, unprofessional cowards.”

And he didn’t stop at “defund.”

He named Todd Lyons and said ICE needs to be PROSECUTED.

That’s where we are now.
