Thanks to God for the genius and courage of both.

Amy Siskind: "Imagine if @elonmusk did something to benefit others with his trillion."

Well, he created ~160,000 jobs, with that number sure to grow if @SpaceX is successful.

As in the past, he'll be investing "his trillion" as working capital to create even more jobs.

How exactly do you "benefit others"?

[polymatheistic @polymatheistic]

@catturd2 At the bottom of the @elonmusk image you can also add “Created 160,000 jobs.”

Under @SenSanders image you can add “Created 12 jobs, taxpayer funded.”

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.

The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.

And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.

Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

Control of the election systems in enough key states & urban counties is crucial to Organized Crime Nation.

They have got to have it. They cannot survive without it.

It's the entire reason they spent decades carefully setting up the INFRASTRUCTURE of a Hidden Shadow Election-Rigging Network all 'cross the fruited plain and from sea-to-shining-sea.

It plays a MAJOR ROLE in how they MAINTAIN CONTROL and keep their HIDDEN WORLD out of sight.

Donald J. Trump is OPENLY TELLING YOU that the Government Gangsters Hidden Shadow Election Rigging Network is about to be exposed.

HE JUST TOLD YOU THIS YET AGAIN YESTERDAY LIVE FROM THE OVAL OFFICE.

Once that Hidden Shadow Election Rigging Network is dragged out to where everyone can see it, and the BEAM OF LIGHT hits it, it's OVER.

There will be NO RECOVERY from this. How would it even be POSSIBLE to come back from that?

The **entire country** is gonna see how the Government Gangsters orchestrated a MASSIVE CRIMINAL ELECTION FRAUD CONSPIRACY to put the LOSER of the 2020 presidential race in the White House.

How did they do it?

THEY COORDINATED VIA THEIR HIDDEN SHADOW ELECTION RIGGING NETWORK OF SEVERAL DOZEN NGOs TO STOP THE VOTE COUNTING IN 5 KEY COUNTIES IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATES SO THEY COULD ENGAGE IN THREE FURIOUS DAYS OF GOOD OL' FASHIONED BALLOT PRINTING-AND-DUMPING.

NGO contractors on-site did the heavy lifting in this criminal coordination.

This is how the accomplished 'the impossible': flipping the race in 5 battlegrounds and handing Dementia Joe the 'victory' in the Electoral College.

There is no going back. The country is gonna be enraged that they not only did this to the rest of us, forced us all to along with the results of their criminal conspiracy, they were proudly RUBBING OUR FACES IN IT and hitting us over the head for 6 years with the boast it was 'the safest and securest election in American history!'

Their own hubris is about to destroy them.

I shall thoroughly enjoy watching and covering all of this.

⚡️Friday is the largest monetization of belief in financial history.

Executed by the most informed seller of belief alive, at the exact moment of its maximum purchasing power.

That’s the whole event. Everything else is mechanics.

Start with the tell nobody is reading: the dictated price.

No range, no bookbuilding, no price discovery on the biggest IPO ever attempted.

$135, take it or leave it.

Price discovery exists to find what an asset is worth; Musk skipped it because worth was never the variable being measured.

The fixed price is a loyalty test denominated in equity, and four times oversubscription is the test coming back positive. The market didn’t price SpaceX this week. It pledged allegiance to it, and the S-1 just gave the pledge a CUSIP.

The Morningstar gap is the event’s true headline: $780B of fundamentals inside a $1.8T wrapper. That trillion-dollar spread is the Musk premium, visible and tradable at scale for the first time. Tesla proved belief is a financeable asset class. SPCX is that discovery industrialized: rockets, Starlink, and xAI fused into a single ticker whose buyers are purchasing the future itself, Mars, orbital internet, machine intelligence, as one instrument.

People paying $135 are not buying discounted cash flows. They’re funding a mission and acquiring membership. Patronage with a ticker symbol. That’s neither fraud nor delusion. It’s a new instrument the textbooks don’t have a chapter for yet, and Musk is the only person who has ever issued it at sovereign scale.

The 30% retail allocation is the sharpest strategic move inside the deal and the least understood.

Framed as democratization, it’s moat construction: millions of retail holders convert a defense contractor into a political constituency.

Every future subsidy fight, regulatory challenge, and contract dispute now happens against a company partially owned by the voting public.

Tesla’s retail base made it unkillable through years of negative fundamentals. SpaceX just bought the same armor, deliberately, at IPO, before ever needing it.

A strategic national asset acquiring a citizen shareholder army is genuinely new in American capitalism, and it’s slightly chilling in exactly the way most brilliant structural moves are.

Then the timing, which is the information content. The best capital allocator of his generation chose this week, melt-up regime, retail euphoria at cycle highs, money market cash still flooding dips, to raise the largest sum in market history at 2.3x the independent fundamental read.

Sellers of that caliber maximize size precisely when the gap between price and value is widest.

[polymatheistic @polymatheistic]

I agree with you Mr. Turley, but it doesn’t matter who the Dems run.

With no voter ID requirement, absentee/mail ballots, compromised voting machines, no courts that will hear election challenges, and folks like yourself and Chief Justice Narcissus having suicidal normalcy bias, the days of our country as currently configured are almost over.

It doesn’t have to be this way, but all you and the current administration are doing is shouting at the clouds. They needed to start work on this immediately upon taking office.

People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time.

What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless.

If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.

@SmylieKaufman10 The @USGA flagsticks are tapered at the bottom, and the holes are cut very sharply (means maximum hole width).

This combination reduces the chance of flagstick ‘doinks’, unless someone slams one.

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

Executives hit the market with LIV Golf 2.0 last week, framing it as “built by the players, for the players.” It has an emphasis on player ownership, an increased schedule utilising national opens, but reduced purses.

The schedule consists of 10 team events, and 8-10 national opens, with 5 “team majors” and 5 “team signature events”. The “majors” are to be played on 5 continents in line with the most successful events: Australia, South Africa, UK, Hong Kong and Mexico. And the signature events are to be hosted predominantly in the US, around the 4 major championships.

The purse sizes is fluid and dependent on the new investors. From an extensive amount of sourcing, I expect them to be $15 million for 5 events and $10 million for the rest. With a potential weighting that distributes more money at the top of the leaderboard.

A well placed LIV Golf source said:

“We are very confident future purses will be above DP World Tour levels and player take home will be in line with the PGA Tour.”

From sourcing within player ranks, the purse sizes are, obviously, one of the most important factors impacting their commitment. Several players suggested to me if the purses fall in line with the DP World Tour they probably wouldn’t stay. But at $10-$15 million it’s a different proposition. More clarity is needed though on both LIV Golf’s future and the new structure of the PGA Tour to get a better picture.

I’ve spoken directly to at least a dozen players who told me they are fully committed to LIV Golf, and if it exists, they will be there. Bryson DeChambeau is leading that charge and it’s understating it to say he’s committed. He desperately wants LIV Golf to succeed and to build a global golf league that’s built for the 21st century. He’s thinking long term and his enthusiasm is truly infectious.

But a big question is what will Jon Rahm do? It’s difficult to get any real feel of it as he didn’t do media outside press conferences. But he did answer my question on whether he was taking a similar role to Bryson in trying to secure investment and he replied, “I am not, no.” The full quote is on my timeline.

I was told, however, that Jon had encouraged other players to avoid reading the media because of the amount of misinformation. There was also a Legion XIII hospitality area, where the GM, Jeff Koski, was hosting current and potential future partners while offering Imperial Gran Reserva, the Rioja that Jon served at his 2024 Masters Champions Dinner.

The players will be given equity in the league itself or team franchises to encourage them to stay, further committing those taking this option to the success of the league’s future. The majority of the media rights will be returned to the players. Giving them the opportunity to build their own online brands on socials and sign personal partnerships.

The size of the fields is unclear at this stage, but the shotgun start will continue, so the possibility of adding 2 more expansion teams to take the league to 15 franchises (60 players) would likely be top end. I fully expect them to utilise the Asian Tour pathways to fill many of the open spots, especially if players leave. That would help further appease the OWGR concerns and increase the ability to build their own stars. But sources were also confident they could attract established names with potential equity in the league.

Multiple sources indicated that Fox Sports are ready to sign a new deal with LIV Golf as soon as the league is ready. LIV Golf are also working with networks on a potential broadcast model that incorporates TV viewership with YouTube and social media in an attempt to unlock revenue streams across digital IP.

I’ve spent several days going back and forth through notes and transcripts, sourcing information the best I can. I think even in these early stages as they take LIV Golf 2.0 to market this is as fair and accurate of a representation as I can offer.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments 👍

So 5.6 million mail ballots were sent out (with no voter ID requirement) in LA County.

Where do the 8-10% of ballots sent to a non-valid NCOA address (and no voter ID) go when they bounce back? Who handles the 560,000 bounce back ballots?

You also allow printing of absentee ballots (with no voter ID requirement) on home printers.

All of it is a f*cking joke but the current administration has done nothing about it for a year and a half.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

82 years ago nearly all of the men on the first few boats that landed on the beach in Normandy were dead before days end.
Sit here with that for a while.
Look at them.
Really look at them.
Look into their eyes.
Many of them are boys, they are someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s sweetheart someone’s father.
They never came home.
And every privilege, every convenience, every freedom and every little thing that you want to bitch about you have because of them and they paid the ultimate price for you to have those freedoms. #dday #FreedomIsNeverFree
