Chamath Palihapitiya takes a sledgehammer to Trump Derangement Syndrome live on CNBC.
Palihapitiya said refusing to open a savings account for your own child simply because it’s associated with President Trump is “INSANE!”
PALIHAPITIYA: “Now, can I just say something else?”
“You’re allowed to disagree with the guy.”
“You’re allowed to maybe dislike the guy.”
“But as an adult living human being that’s responsible for taking care of your family, you have to get past the TDS.”
“See where he’s right, see where he’s wrong.”
“But the TDS thing that’s stopping people from making a savings account for their children, that can give them free money…it is INSANE!”

The 5 reasons soccer won't increase in popularity after the world cup is over.
1. The flopping. This goes against the soul of every American. We value grit, toughness and basically not being a pussy.
2. The clock. No one wants to get to the end of a game and have no clue when it's over. Just stop & start the clock when you need to, like sane people.
3. Offsides. Just put a line out there like everyone else. This floating line you have makes the game unwatchable. It's like a built in, anti-excitement glitch you manufactured for your game.
4. Red cards. What a stupid rule that you automatically get kicked out for the next game for getting one. I can understand suspending someone after a league review of something you did that was horrible. But to automatically get suspended because of what a ref saw at full speed is stupid.
5. Ties. In America we call it kissing your sister, cause that's the same feeling you get after a tie. Pure disgust. In soccer, it seems like the result you prefer most. Play til you have a winner.
Today is your weekly reminder that EVERYONE that works at @KATUNews@KPTV@KGWNews@KOINNews lies to us all day every day. These people all pretend to be our friends and neighbors while either lying outright or lying through omission. If they actually did their jobs there is zero chance our failed governor could be reelected. ZERO. Boycott their stations and sponsors. If they refuse to do their jobs as journalists, cancel them.
If white Christian men had systematically raped 250,000 brown children for a decade, it would be the biggest scandal of half a century.
But because brown Muslim men did it to white children, the authorities continue covering it up, and media continues refusing to talk about it.
Your heart should breaking as you read this. Because you all need to realize something about Usha Vance Karoline Leavitt Jennifer Hegseth and Jeanette Rubio These four women right now are each carrying something that most people will never fully understand. Usha Vance pregnant with her fourth child baby boy coming in July and JD chose no formal leave. She is home. Alone. Counting the days. While her husband carries America. Karoline Leavitt who stood at the most powerful podium in America for 39 weeks pregnant never missed a single day. Came back to work four days after having baby Niko. And today holds baby Vivi knowing another briefing is always just around the corner. Jennifer Hegseth who holds seven children together every single time Pete boards that plane. Every deployment. Every trip. Every morning the kids ask where dad is. She answers. Alone. And Jeanette Rubio who has watched her husband cross three continents in one week away from her away from their children for a country that may never fully know her name.
Four women. Four completely different sacrifices. One identical truth. They never asked America to see them. They never posted about what it costs. They never once made it about themselves. They just held everything together. Quietly. Completely. So their husbands could hold America. And today we just need every American to stop for one moment. And say something these four women have waited too long to hear. Thank you. Not for your husbands. For you. For everything you carry that nobody films.
God cover Usha. Cover Karoline. Cover Jennifer. Cover Jeanette. And remind every one of them America sees you. Even on the days it forgets to say it. Make sure to repost this today. Because these women deserve to be seen.
EVERY FUCKING PERSON WHO HAS BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES FOR MONTHS...
...IS DEAD FUCKING SILENT ABOUT A QUARTER-OF-A-MILLION WHITE GIRLS BEING GANG RAPED BY MUSLIMS!!!
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT ANY OF YOU FUCKING PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY EVER AGAIN!!!!!!
Oregon’s top DAs finally admit what Oregonian’s have known for years: there’s a full-blown mental health and public safety crisis.
Decades of Democrat policies — drug decriminalization, soft-on-crime DAs, and chronic state hospital bed shortages — have left us with one of the nation’s highest mental illness rates and skyrocketing overdoses.
Harney County leads Oregon in suicide rates. Wyden and Merkley enabled this mess from DC. Enough excuses — Oregon deserves better.
It’s astonishing & sickening that the British Royal family— King Charles, Prince William, Princess Kate, even Harry & Meghan— haven’t said a WORD about the systemic rape and sexual torture of 250,000 British white girls in their country.
This isn’t “political.” It’s humanity.
Christ have mercy.
While checking out at Goodwill, the cashier asked if I wanted to round up. As always, I said no. I then told the cashier that the government forces me to donate almost half my paycheck to “fix” whatever problem he was fundraising for.
What he told me next completely shocked me.
If Goodwill employees don’t get enough people to round up and donate, they get written up! That is insane. Goodwill doesn’t sound like it has very good will to me.
This American needs to lead the Department of Education
“This is my audition to become the head of the US Department of Education
- My first act of office will be immediately abolishing the No Child Left Behind Act. Yes, we will be leaving children behind. If they fail a class, they will have to repeat it
- My second act is one that I'm very passionate about. We will be bringing zeros back. If you don't know, in many schools in the US right now, students receive 40% or 50% if they do zero work, if they do not complete an assignment. And my school included, and many other schools, are not going to be allowed to give a student a 50% if they do not turn in any work. They will have to receive a zero.
Likewise, there will be no completion grades, If you just attempt an assignment, that doesn't mean you get a 55%. Like, if you get a 1 out of 10, you earned a 10% on that assignment, and that's okay. Sometimes failing happens, and we don't need to just inflate the grades just for fun. Grades will reflect students' actual performance and understanding of the content
- The third one I'm very excited for as well. Teacher evaluations will take place once a year and teachers will be observed by another current teacher from a different school. Teachers would volunteer to be evaluators. They would get a sub for the day, no questions asked, and then they would evaluate objectively. That way the person evaluating you does not know you and does not have any personal bias towards you. Hopefully.
- The fourth one, I think this should be common sense, but I hear that it happens all the time at some schools. Never at mine. But teachers shouldn't be expected to work for free. I hear elementary teachers are doing these before and after work things that they aren't getting paid for, like lunch duty or recess duty or pickup duty, whatever it is. The school needs those things covered.
People can volunteer for it, and then they have to get paid for it. They can't force you to cover other people's classes for free. They have to pay you extra if they're gonna take away your lunch or your prep or whatever time that is supposed to be yours and then force you to do something without getting paid. There will be no more voluntelling.
Hire this woman. The most important thing we need to do is hold students back and force them to learn the work. No more dumbing down out standards
