Gillibrand's son graduated from undergrad on Sunday. Today it's reported that he's received $30 million in venture capital funding to launch a derivatives exchange. His mom sat on the Senate Agriculture committee—which has jurisdiction over derivates—until this past year
This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators. I, of course, didn’t listen.
I have now received an apology from the editor.
My interview is below: 👇🏻
Every time Whoopi Goldberg opens her mouth about racism, hate, and “division,” I flash right back to that 1993 Friars Club roast.
There she was, glowing, laughing, loving every second, while the man she was dating, Ted Danson, strutted on stage in blackface, cracking jokes at her event.
She didn’t storm out.
She didn’t scream “racism!”
She was beaming. Happy as hell.
Yet today, we’re supposed to believe she’s outraged by the very things she once laughed through and defended.
Because that’s what I can’t reconcile.
She’s a paid performer. A Hollywood lifer who has spent decades in the spotlight, and to me, the contrast between then and now raises a lot of questions.
She’ll condemn behavior today that she appeared willing to overlook when it involved someone close to her.
Hands down.
That’s why I have a hard time taking the outrage seriously.
The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Wake up, folks… She’s a Hollywood grifter!
Next time you hear @vademocrats claim Trump is cutting funding, remember how they just looted @GlennYoungkin’s $900M rainy day fund to pay for their new #affordability agenda. They’ve spent Youngkin’s $2.1B surplus. Now they’re spending next year’s Q1 and Q2 surplus too.
It’s clear Wembanyama hasn’t faced much adversity during his young life, as he left yesterday’s finals press conference by saying “Appreciate ya’ll. See ya’ll never”.
I’ve been a sports for 35+ years, and I’ve never seen anything like it. The NBA needs him to mature ASAP if he’s going to be the face of the league,
On 12 June 1987, Margaret Thatcher became the first British Prime Minister in 160 years to win three consecutive terms of office.
"We have a great deal of work to do, so no one must slack. You can have a marvellous party tonight...but on Monday we've got a big job to do."
The Democrat Party’s real structure:
Antifa = Military Wing
Media = Propaganda Wing
ActBlue = Laundering Wing
SPLC = Targeting Wing
Soros = Funding Wing
Colleges = Indoctrination Wing
This isn’t a political party.
It’s an organized crime syndicate.
OTD in 1864: 100,000 men vanished overnight, and the greatest general of the age had no idea where they went. This might be the most underrated move of the Civil War.
Context: Grant had just spent ten days locked in trench warfare at Cold Harbor, Virginia, after a frontal assault on June 3 that cost him thousands of men in under an hour. He admitted it was the worst mistake of his career. The armies were so close that soldiers could not lift their heads above the dirt in daylight.
Everyone, including Lee, expected Grant to do what every Union commander before him did after a bloody repulse: retreat north and regroup.
Instead, on the night of June 12, Grant did something audacious. He pulled the entire Army of the Potomac out of trenches that were in some places only yards from Confederate lines. No bugles, no fires, wheels muffled. By morning the Union trenches were empty and Lee's scouts found nothing but abandoned earthworks.
The army marched south, away from Richmond, which made no sense to Confederate observers. Then Union engineers did something almost nobody thought possible: they threw a pontoon bridge across the James River, roughly 2,100 feet of it, over water up to 85 feet deep with a four-foot tidal swing. They built it in about eight hours. It was one of the longest floating bridges in military history.
For three full days Lee was effectively blind, unsure whether Grant was north or south of the James. By the time the picture cleared, Grant's army was across the river attacking Petersburg, the rail hub that fed Richmond.
The siege that followed lasted nine months and ended with Lee's surrender at Appomattox.
Everyone remembers Cold Harbor as Grant's worst day. Almost nobody remembers that one week later he pulled off the maneuver that won the war.
THIS is exactly why socialism never works.
There is no one in the government, and especially in the US Senate, smart enough to know how much money someone else should earn.
In America, the sky is the limit. We don’t impose a 100% tax on earnings above a level set by the government.
Socialists do that. And that’s why there are no trillionaires, billionaires or rich people in socialist countries. Everyone is in poverty together, except for people in government. They’re the only rich ones.
Amnistia para los desempleados criminales del medio oriente por ser de izquierda y deportación para los trabajadores integrados venezolanos por ser de derecha.
Esa es la agenda de Pedro Sánchez para mantenerse en el poder.
1. Dave is — not was — is a great pro.
2. The business is rough.
3. The Sun-Sentinel is 🗑️.
Interesting times by those doors at the end of many Dolphins seasons, Hyde.
My 36-year run at the Sun-Sentinel is over. Laid off for the first time since I lost my job as an ice-rink skate guard at 17. Cost-cutting move then, they said, too. I'm a month from 65, so please keep any sympathy for my newspaper friends who didn’t make it to the finish line like I have. I’m looking forward to doing some things I want to do so before the hall narrows and the light dims so you might not be completely done with me yet. Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun run.
