A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak. This is not a talented trader. "We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row. That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research. That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes. Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses. There are only two explanations and both should terrify you. Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime. Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse. This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call. While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings. You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

Tough loss for conservatives in Wisconsin. It will continue to be this way until we have a more level playing field. From 2018 on, liberal candidates have outspent their conservative opponents by significant margins. Not surprisingly, that has now given liberals a 5 - 2 majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.   All the more reason that we need Tom Tiffany to win in November. An open seat for Governor, along with a contentious primary amongst the Democrats, gives him a real opportunity for victory.  Tom needs to get out and define himself fast (before the left does) while the candidates are fighting amongst themselves. He and his wife started a small business years ago giving boat tours in northern Wisconsin. They had to count every penny to make it work. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Governor who counts every penny - and understands those who need to do so just to pay the bills each month.  With enough resources to guarantee a level playing field, Tom can then share his plans to help everyone in Wisconsin afford to live and thrive here. A solid conservative is in the best spot to help lower the costs of food, fuel, housing, electricity, higher education, taxes, and healthcare. Tom Tiffany can win, but all of us conservatives need to help him out—with donations, on the doors, making calls, posting online, etc. We can win, but it will not be easy to overcome the financial advantages we’ve seen in the past six elections for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.  It will take a focused, team effort. Hopefully today was a wake up call for those sitting on the sidelines in my state. It’s time to save Wisconsin!

Hopefully the Iranian regime is obliterated before they obliterate us someday. I personally prefer bombing and killing terrorists instead of negotiating with them. I doubt Iran will respect the terms of any deal.
