The Knicks have reportedly canceled all Game 3 watch parties outside MSG due to President Donald Trump's attendance.

A hard closure is expected around Madison Square Garden, with no watch parties, vehicle access or pedestrian traffic permitted in the secured area, according to CBS News.

This man hasn’t been to a Knicks game since 2014 according to Google. A lot of these fans, especially the ones who can’t afford to get inside have been there through it all. The good, the bad and all the ugly. Ruining this moment for the fans is so messed up! He doesn’t need to be there.

The incompetent @FIFAWorldCup host, USA, is failing to fulfill its responsibilities properly.

We are guests of @FIFAcom, and it is FIFA’s responsibility to ensure that visas for all members are issued.

years ago, in an entirely different setting, I was trapped among hundreds of others at an otherwise pleasurable event to which a political VIP came, closely associated with the US president at the time. this meant:
literally hours of "security" checks-- slow filing in long queues--much grumbling, resentment; especially, resentment for the clueless VIP who decided to casually show up at an event in which he wasn't even involved.

so too with T***p at Madison Square Garden: he hates NYC, knows that NYC votes against him, wants to ruin the occasion for thousands of New Yorkers & JINX the Knicks as a final touch.
T***p to NYC: "DROP DEAD."

[Etan Thomas @etanthomas36]

This is just selfish. Read the room Donald. If he messes up their momentum….if he thought New Yorkers hated him before

I hope Knicks fans boo him with the roar of 1,000 lions and the volume of 1,000 trumpets

I hope yall boo him so loud they hear it in Jersey

Google IPO'd at $23 billion in 2004, which equates to 40 billion in 2026.

Google is now worth 4.5 trillion and investors made well over 10,000% on their initial stake.

SpaceX is being valued 40x higher than Google in its IPO 2026.

For an investor to get the same return in SpaceX it got with Google SpaceX would have to eventually be worth 300 trillion dollars.

They're fucking lying to you when they say SpaceX is anything like Google.

This is how they start taking boomers wealth before it can be passed down.

Reminder of the scene that Trump caused last year when he decided to go to the Men’s U.S. Open final and had the match start 30 minutes late because of the extra security and people still couldn’t get in for the start

FYI: Social Security has been funded by American workers for 90 years.
Every paycheck.
Every job.
Every decade.
Congress has borrowed $2.9 trillion from the Trust Fund.
None of them asked permission.
You saved it.
They spent it.
Now they’re asking you to accept less.

A World Cup host country usually sees a surge in international tourism. In America, 80% of host city hotels are below their booking projections. In Kansas City, nine out of ten are below a normal summer.

Mexico's international arrivals grew 6.1% last year. Canada is projected to lead all three host nations in tourism growth. The dollar is cheaper than last year for Europeans. They are still not coming to the US.

We looked at why 👇

BREAKING: Games 3 and 4 Knicks/Spurs ticket prices plummet due to Trump’s unwanted chaos-creating attendance.

Enraged fans who didn’t pay for 2-hour TSA entry lines nor to be stripped of bringing personal items are threatening an empty stadium unless he stays the fuck away.

Do you want him napping there?

My interview with President Trump on Friday afternoon was unfortunately complicated by weather issues. In spite of those challenges, we still had a substantial conversation on issues from the Iran war to the economy to the so-called “anti-weaponization” fund. Tune in for the full interview this morning on @MeetThePress.

Almost none of the boats in that photo are owned by a person. Each one belongs to a company that exists only to hold the boat, registered on a tiny island, with a stranger’s name on the paperwork. That is how you keep a 300-foot yacht in public and your own name out of it.

This is completely legal, and it is the normal way these boats are owned. Once a yacht passes about 100 feet, it is almost always wrapped inside one of these companies. The boat is easy to see. Tracing it back to the person who paid for it is the hard part, and that is the whole point.

When someone says these owners are not on any rich list, they are right, and the reason is dull. Forbes only ranks money it can prove. Their 2026 list has a record 3,428 billionaires worth $20.1 trillion between them, and an army of reporters digs through company filings, court records, and leaks to pin down every number. But a fortune tucked away the way these boats are cannot be proven, so it never reaches the page. As far as the rankings know, that fortune does not exist.

The owners do stay hidden. The money itself, though, has been counted, down to a number. A Berkeley economist named Gabriel Zucman worked out a neat trick: money in hiding leaves a gap in a country’s books, like a missing puzzle piece, and you can measure that gap. Using his method, the charity Oxfam reported this April that $13.25 trillion is sitting offshore, in accounts overseas built for secrecy. That is more than the whole world economy makes in a month. Around $3.55 trillion of it never gets taxed at all, more than the entire economy of France. The very richest people, about one in a thousand, hold roughly 80 percent of that untaxed pile. On its own, it is worth more than everything owned by the poorer half of the planet, all 4.1 billion of them.

For one weekend a year, all of that floats into a single harbor. As of early June, trackers counted 106 yachts packed inside Monaco’s main port and another 180 anchored just off the coast for the Grand Prix. One of them, a 400-foot giant called Kismet, costs 3 million euros a week just to rent.

Europe actually tried to lift the lid on who owns what. In 2018 it forced member countries to publish a public list of the real people behind each company, and reporters quickly began naming owners who had stayed out of sight. Then in November 2022 the EU’s top court closed that public access again, ruling it invaded the owners’ privacy. The lists still exist. Now you need a special reason and official permission to look.

The money is no great mystery, and the pool it sits in has been measured down to the trillion. The only thing still missing is a name to put on each boat.

Lost a $3k jewelry order last week.
Got the "Delivered" confirmation. Went to check. Nothing there.
Pulled the camera footage. Mailman sets it on top of the mailbox, takes the photo, looks both ways… and takes it back with him.
Called USPS. Two minute wait I'll give them that. Filed the investigation. Local office calls me, very confident: we spoke to the carrier, package was delivered.
I didn't mention the footage. Not yet.
"Tell him I can send the video."
Two hours later, package at the door.

🚨 The “blowout” jobs report that just killed your rate cut? Misleading.

It was bartenders. 🍺

70K hospitality hires for the World Cup -> 5x normal. Wall Street saw a hot economy. It was a soccer tournament.

Back out the one-off and there’s NO blowout -> just trend. Yes, there’s a soccer tournament sitting on top of a trend-line economy. 🤯

Look under the hood. 🧵

Das ist kein Luxusresort. Sazan – die albanische Insel an der Straße von Otranto – ist das maritime Tor zwischen Adria und Mittelmeer.
3.600 atomsichere Bunker. 15 Kilometer Tunnel. Ehemalige sowjetische U-Boot-Anlegestellen.
Die Insel kontrolliert wer die Adria kontrolliert. Und wer kauft sie?
Kushners Affinity Partners – finanziert zu 99 Prozent von Saudi-Arabien, UAE und Katar.
157 Millionen Dollar Gebühren von ausländischen Staatsfonds.
Das bestätigt der US-Finanzausschuss unter Senator Wyden.

Und wer leitet das Team? Kein einziger Hotelmanager. Ausschließlich Ex-Geheimdienstler und Ex-Regierungsbeamte der Trump-Administration. General Miguel Correa – ehemaliger Direktor für Golfangelegenheiten im Nationalen Sicherheitsrat. Mitarchitekt der Abraham-Accords.
Kevin Hassett – ehemaliger Vorsitzender des Wirtschaftsberaterstabs im Weißen Haus.
Chad Mizelle – ehemaliger amtierender Chefsyndikus des Heimatschutzministeriums. John Rader – ehemaliger Nationaler Sicherheitsrat. Nick Butterfield – ehemaliger stellvertretender Koordinator für Politik im Weißen Haus.
Senator Wyden: Die Anwesenheit von General Correa „wirft Bedenken hinsichtlich der Emoluments-Klausel der Verfassung auf."
Das ist kein Resort. Das ist eine geopolitische Operation – finanziert von Golfstaaten – auf einer ehemaligen sowjetischen Militärbasis – im Herzen Europas. 🇦🇱🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺
