Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out
This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.
A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts.
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, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it.
This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it.

tiktok has a new trend where people drink hot water and stretch in the morning and call it being chinese
but have u ever cried while doing math with your dad at the kitchen table and he broke your pencil in half
I noticed the new guy at work always 'forgets' his lunch or just has a bag of chips. He's young and I know they don't pay the entry-level guys much. I remember being 20 and pretending I wasn't hungry because I was broke. So now, when I meal prep, I just make an extra portion. I 'accidentally' made too much and offer it to him.
I don't care what his story is; nobody should be hungry at work
