🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Washington found its counter to Iran's $24 billion demand: spend the frozen money on the countries Iran keeps hitting
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has ordered officials to tally the damage Gulf partners have suffered from Iranian attacks and price out repair and recovery costs, as the administration weighs using frozen Iranian assets to compensate for past and future damage linked to Tehran.
Think through what that does.
Iran says the entire deal hinges on getting its $24 billion back.
Treasury's answer is to start metering that pot out to Kuwait and Bahrain, so every missile Tehran fires at its neighbors now drains its own recoverable fortune.
The airport terminal, the casualties, the repairs, it all gets billed to Iran's account.

Trump hired a bunch of chuds to restore the Reflecting Pool, which they did on time and on budget. Liberals are absolutely furious because they don't want voters to see that you can just fix things.
Over the last 20 years…
Elections decided on Election Night:
Republicans: 52%
Democrats: 48%
Elections decided AFTER Election Night:
Republicans: 20%
Democrats: 80%
This is totally insane.
Nothing to see here…
In the 2022 Los Angeles Mayoral Election Rick Caruso was leading Karen Bass on election night.
4 days AFTER election day Karen Bass moved ahead of Caruso.
18 days AFTER election day officials announced that Karen Bass had received the most votes for LA Mayor in history.
Jamie Dimon just asked Elon Musk why he's taking SpaceX public after a decade of saying no.
The answer is very Musky and MIND BLOWING:
"I've been asked for many years about taking SpaceX public. Probably been almost ten years that people have been suggesting I should."
"We've been positive cash flow for quite a long time. I think since around 2014, 2015. And we've been self-funding. In fact, our private equity rounds have actually not been fundraising rounds. They've been liquidity rounds for investors and employees. SpaceX has actually bought back stock in most of our funding events."
So why now?
"We are embarking on a significant growth phase, a capital growth phase, where we are going to put in orbit probably over a hundred thousand satellites just for communications."
"Version 3 is ten to twenty times more capable than the Version 2 satellite. It's a hundred times more bandwidth than the Starlink system currently offers and half the latency."
Then Dimon asked about AI. And this is where it went somewhere nobody in the room expected...
"The peak bandwidth of a human is a few hundred bits per second. But bandwidth of a computer can be a trillion bits per second. The appetite for bandwidth of AI and robots is gonna be enormous."
"We're also doing the AI data centres in space. Which is another massive capital endeavour."
Then it started to sound like something straight out of a sci-fi film:
"It's increasingly difficult to build power plants on the ground. There are very few people who want a power plant in their backyard. If we wanted to double the electricity usage of the United States, which is on average about 500 gigawatts, we would have to build about twice as many power plants. Most communities are not super excited about that."
"But if we go to space, we can go far beyond the electricity generation of Earth."
"This is gonna sound crazy, but you could actually increase harnessed energy by a factor of a million and still be using much less than a millionth of the Sun's energy."
Sorry, but this is HUGE.
The SpaceX IPO hits next week and is expected to make Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire.
He is SpaceX. He is Tesla. He is Neuralink, xAI, The Boring Company, and the owner of X.
That doesn't happen by accident.
It happens because he is one of the most powerful personal brands the world has ever seen.
Every company he touches gets amplified by the fact that the world already knows his name, his face, and his vision before he says a single word.
That is the compounding effect of a personal brand built over two decades.
SO:
We build massive distribution and grow personal brands on X and beyond without our clients lifting a finger.
If you're a founder or VC looking for that kind of exposure, book a call below.
We average 1.5M views a week and have brought in over $5 million in attributable revenue for our clients.

The Chicago Bears managed to stay in Chicago despite the 1929 Great Depression, WWII, and the 2008 financial crisis, but they couldn't survive two incompetent Democratic leaders in Illinois and now they are moving next door to the Republican run red state of Indiana!
Me: Why do you think Karen Bass has such a high likelihood to win?
LA Voter: It seems like all the places where they don't have voter ID these people win.
🚨 WTF?! President Trump just revealed he PARDONED a man who was sentenced to SEVEN YEARS in federal prison for fixing his OWN truck or tractor
"The Democrats have a restriction that if you get caught fixing your tractor, they bring you to JAIL. Did you know that?!"
"I pardoned a man last week who was sentenced to SEVEN YEARS in jail because he got caught fixing his car or truck."
"I said, 'what did he do?' 'He was fixing his truck!'
I said, 'how long is he getting? '7 years'
I said, 'say it again!' It's the first time I've ever heard it...
I gave him a pardon because he had to go to JAIL because he was fixing HIS tractor or his truck. So I promise.. if you ever get caught fixing your tractor or truck, I will give you a pardon, OK?"
Looney democrat regulation strikes again...
🚨 NOW: Mass calls are erupting for the SUPREME COURT to step in and END THE MADNESS, California is undergoing another mail-in ballot scandal because it's built into their LAWS
Nearly 2,000 THOUSAND drop boxes statewide and Democrats LET ballots come in super late
PLENTY of time for fraud.
The votes remaining went UP
HEMMER: "What Hilton is talking about is the way California has changed its election laws. You got 58 counties. You got 1700 drop boxes. You got 23 million registered voters and everyone gets a mail ballot as of 2021."
"And that's the way they've been doing it in California. Now you got to match the signatures and all this takes an extraordinary amount of time. Nonetheless, 56% of the vote is still out."
According to artificial intelligence, the statistical probability of Spencer Pratt getting 0 out of 24,000 votes in last nights late night Los Angeles ballot drop is “1 in trillions”
California Democrats are rigging the election
How are Democrats cheating in L.A.?
Let me show you…
There are 26 registered voters at this toilet in Los Angeles.
I’m not kidding. I have the voter records. See for yourself. The only thing here is a stinky port-a john inside an empty parking lot.
No homes. No mailboxes. No businesses. Yet TWENTY SIX ‘people’ are casting ballots here.
Straight-up voter fraud out in the open. This just a glimpse of what’s happening under Gavin Newsom.
This is why California desperately needs Voter ID — and we must pass the Save Act NOW.
🚨President Trump just announced he's potentially caught election thieves and they "WON'T BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH IT."
"No mail-in ballots. You see what’s happening in California. They’re rigging the election."
