Everyone loves asking: “If Grant was such a great general, how come he lost nearly every battle to Lee and suffered way more casualties?” Robert E. Lee himself had a very different answer. “I have carefully searched the military records of both ancient and modern history, and have never found Grant’s superior as a general. I doubt his superior can be found in all history.” — Robert E. Lee The entire question is built on two flat-out falsehoods. First: Grant didn’t “lose nearly every battle.” There was essentially ONE continuous campaign — from the Wilderness in May 1864 straight through to Appomattox in April 1865. Grant seized the initiative in the very first clash and never gave it back. Lee spent the rest of the war reacting to Grant’s moves. When Lee attacked in the Wilderness hoping the old forests and bogs would save him (like they always had), Grant didn’t retreat north like every previous Union commander. He simply disengaged, slid south, and flanked Lee again. Lee never dictated the terms of battle after that day. James Longstreet had tried to warn the Army of Northern Virginia: “We’ve never faced anyone like this man.” They didn’t listen. They learned fast. Second: The casualty comparison ignores that Lee was almost always the defender. Context matters. But the deeper truth is bigger than any single clash. Lee still fought war the old way — disconnected battles, win-loss record like a sports season. Grant fought the next war: coordinated campaigns across multiple theaters, using railroads, telegraph, navy, and engineers to keep relentless pressure until the enemy simply could not continue. Grant didn’t win by accident. He made contact and maintained it until victory was inevitable. Lee fought the last war. Grant wrote the blueprint for the next one. That’s why he was great. That's why he won. Change your mind yet? Drop your hottest take on Grant vs. Lee below. 🔥

Over the last 50 years… Congress has had a 94% incumbent reelection rate while also having a 33% approval rating. I call BS. Those numbers don’t add up. This one of the many reasons we need the SAVE America Act and why Congress is fighting it.

Carvana made about $6,800 in profit on every car they sold last quarter. The typical used car dealer makes around $1,500. Carvana makes four times as much because the car is just the start of what they sell you. About 85 out of every 100 Carvana buyers finance the car through Carvana. At CarMax, their biggest competitor, the same number is closer to 40. When you click "finance" on Carvana's website, they write the loan at one interest rate, then sell that loan to a bank or pension fund within days. They keep the gap between what you pay and what the bank pays them. That gap, multiplied across hundreds of thousands of buyers, is how they print money. Then come the add-ons. An extended warranty. Coverage that pays off your loan if the car gets totaled. An insurance referral to Root, a digital car insurance company Carvana owns a piece of. Each one stacks on top of the same checkout. The car is the bait. The loan is the meal. Everything else is dessert. This is why selling them your car at a price that felt too generous still works for them. The money they make on that trade-in shows up later, after the next buyer signs. They clean it up, sell it to someone else, and that someone else signs another Carvana loan. This is also why they aren't going anywhere. In May 2022 they bought ADESA, a used car auction company, for $2.2 billion. ADESA came with 56 auction yards across the US. Now Carvana owns the auction yard, the body shop that fixes the car up, the trucks that deliver it, and the lender that funds the next buyer. Every step of that car's journey happens inside something Carvana owns. Three years ago none of this looked like it would survive. Carvana's stock hit $3.55 in December 2022. They had over $5.7 billion in debt. The market thought they were going bankrupt. Then Apollo, a giant private equity firm, led a deal with their lenders that cut $1.2 billion of debt and pushed the deadlines out to 2028. Last quarter they sold 187,000 cars and made $405 million in profit in 90 days. They joined the S&P 500 in December. Their market cap sits near $84 billion. Bigger than Ford. The whole business looks confusing if you think of Carvana as a car company. The math gets simple once you see them as a lender that happens to deliver cars.

Sold a car to Carvana today and I have no idea how they stay in business. Inexplicable.

Thoughts from Doral: -Up and down week for me. Had plenty of good moments especially round 3. It was a windy day and I played some of the best golf of the yr for a 65. I got it rolling on Sunday but struggled off the tee for a few holes. I hit a tee shot that careened off a metal stick into a bush and that didn’t help either. -I know many complain about how boring of a course Doral is on TV but playing it is definitely different. I thought it was a serious and unique challenge with the number of hazards in play and green designs. 18 is an absolute monster. Holes like 11, 14 were very good I thought. -A little unfair that Cam got to play the other course for 4 days and won lol -First time in Miami. Very cool city with awesome food. Cote Miami was stellar. -But MIA airport is top 5 worst airports in the US. LAX, MIA, ORD, JFK, what am I missing? Def not recency bias -I’ve put up the low round of the day twice in the last two signature events which is def something. Hopefully I can string something for an entire week next couple weeks!

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump’s attorney John Sauer just wrapped his opening argument on birthright citizenship and absolutely schooled Justice Ketanji Jackson. Jackson tried to trap him with an emotional hospital-birth scenario involving illegal migrants. JACKSON: “Are we bringing pregnant women in for depositions?!” SAUER: “No. The executive order depends on lawful status. If a baby is born, a birth certificate is issued, and the system checks immigration status through existing databases.” Jackson then pushed again, asking whether parents would get a chance to prove they intended to stay in the U.S. Sauer shut that down too. He said the exact opposite is true: if someone believes they were wrongly denied, there are ways to challenge it, but those cases would be rare. When Jackson asked if that challenge only comes after a baby is denied citizenship, Sauer made it crystal clear: The system already verifies the parents’ status automatically, using robust databases, and for the overwhelming majority of parents, the process would look no different than it does now. Do you support ending birthright citizenship for illegal aliens? A. Yes, end it B. No C. Only for legal residents D. Need SCOTUS to decide

🚨 VIETNAMESE MAN IN USA NAILS IT: "We have 2 million people here...we NEVER ask anyone to bow down or speak our language. Why the F does this mayor in Somalian Minnesota have to speak their language, and apologize for those crooked-a** pirates?! Since when do we have to do that?" "What a SHAME. WTF is wrong with him?" "Our communities are thriving. We have businesses, scientists, engineers, doctors. We give back to this country more than we take." ABSOLUTE TRUTH NUKE 💯💯 Mayor Jacob Frey is a disgrace.

My mom keeps asking me to drive her home because her parents need her to help babysit her younger siblings. She is home and her parents are long gone, and her siblings are in their 70’s and 80’s. Alzheimer’s is the worst.

UNREAL: Vanguard just bought $680,000,000 of $MSTR. $12,000,000,000,000 in assets. The most conservative money on Wall Street. Not a hedge fund chasing pumps. Not retail buying hype. The most boring. careful. Long-term money in existence. Quietly front-running a structural shift. $MSTR isn't a stock. It's a Bitcoin proxy. And when $12,000,000,000,000 in conservative capital starts moving. You stop watching headlines. You watch the flows. The flows just moved.

If JetBlue's acquisition of Spirit had been approved, there's a good chance JetBlue would now be headed into bankruptcy, too.

Probably a hot take but we need to have a caste system for making tee time reservations. If you are over a 5 handicap you simply should not be allowed to play Thursday-Sunday.
