DAN BONGINO TO BARACK OBAMA 👀 “I know things too.” “I’m not letting you get away with this.”

Dana White says he turned a $1,000,000 investment on PowerSlap into BILLION views a month "I saw these guys slapping each other on social media. I took a deeper dive. Holy sh*t this is interesting. We all three put up a million bucks. And this thing does a billion views a month" "It's the most successful thing I've ever been a part of in such a short amount of time"



$XYZ – Whale Alert 🐋 Trades of this size shows up maybe twice a year. 🐋 bought • $2.9M of 4/17 $60c on 3/19 (3wk ago) • then sold it today for $3.2M then used that proceed & some to buy • $5.2M of 5/15 $62.50c Since 5/7 is earnings, this is a massive earnings bet.



A man with no working truck convinced Wall Street he had built the next Tesla. His company hit $30 BILLION. All he did was push it down a hill with no engine. > Trevor Milton founded Nikola in 2014, named after the same inventor as Tesla. > The goal was to build hydrogen powered trucks that would make diesel obsolete. He had no trucks. > In 2018 he released a promotional video called Nikola One In Motion. It showed a sleek semi truck accelerating smoothly down an open highway. Investors went wild. > What nobody knew was that the truck had no engine, no fuel cell, and no propulsion system of any kind. > Milton's team towed it to the top of a hill, tilted the camera to hide the slope, and let it roll. > He spent the next four years doing the same thing with words. On podcasts, television and social media. > Investors were told Nikola could produce its own hydrogen. It could not. They were told the trucks were ready for production. They were not. They were told orders were flooding in. They weren't. > In June 2020 Nikola went public. Within days the company was worth $30 BILLION, more than Ford. > Milton's personal stake hit $7.3 BILLION overnight. > A $32.5 MILLION ranch in Utah followed. A record for the state at the time. > In September 2020 Hindenburg Research published a report calling Nikola "an intricate fraud" built on "an ocean of lies." Milton resigned within ten days. > A federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022. Sentenced to four years in prison the following year. > He never went. He was free on $100 MILLION bail pending appeal. > He and his wife donated $3.2 MILLION to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign. > In March 2025 Trump gave him a full pardon. The pardon erased $168 MILLION in restitution to defrauded shareholders. > Nikola filed for bankruptcy the following month, leaving thousands of investors with nothing. The company never had a product. The only thing that was real was the $30 BILLION valuation, the $7 BILLION that landed in his pocket and the pardon that made sure none of it had to be returned.




If we rebuilt Manhattan today

Trump:


.@melaniejoly announced the move last night, but it’s still unclear when the spinout will take place or what the ownership structure will look like. The @NRC_CNRC said only that the commercial entity will have “firmly Canadian foundations." betakit.com/ottawa-plans-t…

UNBELIEVABLE. Parliament is back, but Liberal members of the Justice Committee are MISSING IN ACTION. Crime is out of control, Canadians are terrified, but Conservatives are ready to restore safety to our streets.

Today Conservatives showed up to work for veterans at the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, but the Liberals canceled the meeting. Last week as soon as the Liberals had their majority they shut down committees, including improperly adjourning the Veterans Affairs Committee. This week, they are shutting down ACVA by not meeting today and later this week ensuring the meeting is closed to the public without cameras to hide what they plan to do with their new majority. If the past week is any indication, what they plan to do won’t be in the interest of veterans.

🚨WATCH: Caroline Elliott CONFIRMS her view that Canada “has a racist past.” Not my words, hers. This is the “conservative” you want leading the BC Conservative Party?
