So depressing.
And idiotic.

In our last @ManhattanInst survey, we found that 46% of today’s Democratic coalition believes “the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in July 2024 was orchestrated by his supporters to increase sympathy for him.” manhattan.institute/article/do-dem…

@patrick_oshag @ptj_official i re-watch PBS Trader at least once a year. To me, PTJ is 🐐 and we likely never see someone like him ever again
English

My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones (@ptj_official), one of the greatest macro traders of all time.
He correctly predicted the 1987 stock market crash and shorted the Japanese bubble in 1990. For over 40 years, his flagship fund has had a negative correlation to the S&P 500. 100% of his returns are alpha.
He says today's market has so many similarities to 2000, "the easiest bear market I've ever seen in my whole life."
He makes the case for going long dollar-yen, why Bitcoin beats gold as an inflation hedge, and why he was wrong about Warren Buffett.
But what I'll remember most from this conversation is Paul's zest for life. He's 71 and still wakes at 2:30 every morning to trade the London open. He works out for two hours a day. He walks with his wife every evening. He travels the country chasing peak spring and peak fall. He's so excited about the songs picked for his funeral that he wishes he could be there to hear them.
Paul has lived five lifetimes in one. He's one of the most entertaining and interesting people I've met, and the conversation will leave you searching to be as passionate about what you do as he is about what he does.
Enjoy!

@KimKatieUSA "He know what happen to him" That sums it up. Everybody handled it like a man.

Baton Rouge, LA: Watch police chase this speeder, pull him over, and hit the absolute jackpot busting a drug dealer. Then one of his customers calls the phone. The cops answer it and get every bit of evidence they need.
I added captions, because I have a feeling you will need them as much as I did.

Sorry @LindaRaschke but silver $si isn't breaking out, it's breaking down. Ask @DodgysDD if you don't believe me.

@RaymondALopez JB will take the success of the safetee act all the way to the White House

@ChrisCillizza @chucktodd Man, journalists have really turned into the scum of the earth. How did this happen?

Delayed by ~10 mins: ISP, CFD off with a school bus on the shoulder of the IB Kennedy before Fullerton. CFD using rig to block two right lanes/protect those pulled over. There was a school bus stopped. Unclear what may have occurred. Traffic slow approaching scene. @WGNNews

@ginamilan_ Crack open a dictionary much? 'Cause it don't sound like you do.

@RaymondALopez @ILSecOfState That's what Chicago wants. Then they complain about high insurance rates and their cars getting stolen and vandalized.
English

This morning I saw over two dozen examples of bad driving. Not just bad, illegal. Running stop signs & red lights. Blocking intersections & crosswalks. Even driving in oncoming traffic. @ILSecOfState needs to deploy SOS police for targeted traffic ops to protect the public!

@mazemoore The fact that they unerringly failed to call out Biden's decline told me they weren't serious about trying to be factual.
I had practicing psychologists and psychiatrists tell me that just from watching some of his campaign speeches they'd pegged him with mid stage dementia.
English

This guy was on MSNBC constantly in 2024 defending Biden's fitness for office, claiming reports and videos of Biden's decline were just right wing disinformation.
Then the debate happened. Wait until you hear what he said the day after the debate.🤪

"The fact is that Trump is far more reckless, unstable, and detached from reality than Richard Nixon was in 1974." - @BillKristol is not afraid of the "i" word. thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-not…

@DuPageCountyGOP This will be great to see in some of these towns that really deserve it.
English

The Democrats’ BUILD Act will allow developers to bring apartments to single family neighborhoods. They would be allowed to do this by right … ie no public hearing. Local authority will be tossed aside and suburban mayors are furious.
What say you? Are you ok waking up tomorrow to find an apartment next door?
See example below.

@Marathonpundit I think Chicago should elect an undocumented migrant. Chicago mayor seems like a job no American would want to do.

@CardzJohnny @esaagar Cool. Now what does that have to do with killing the trading industry, and in particular small traders trying to make a living?
English

@CardzJohnny @esaagar So you want to kill the trading industry for all but the big players. Got it. Fight the oligarchy, am I right?
English

@esaagar Stock market TRANSACTION TAX NOW!!! AOC or Ro Khanna please make this a one issue matter! Bernie failed to hammer this policy home when no other democrats were offering it!!

@TalkinBaseball_ @JomboyMedia Yet they’ll still probably beat the White Sox looking like that.
