Think for yourself. Resist Greed and Corruption. Family, Fishing and Fantasy Football. Not necessarily in that order. I like bourbon and steak also.

LeBron James has 13,378 more points, 6,881 more rebounds & 7,427 more assists than Michael Jordan in 660 more games. "Longevity" you say. Not impressive. To match LeBron's current career totals, MJ would have to come out of retirement (again) and average the following over 660 games: 20.3 PPG - 10.4 RPG - 11.3 APG - 65.8% TS MJ would have to produce like a more efficient version of Magic Johnson for over 8 STRAIGHT SEASONS, on top of what he already did, to match LeBron's career. LeBron will never be as loved as Jordan, but he is the superior player.

THE STOCK MARKET IS NOT FREE Over 90 percent of #AMC trading is happening off exchange, and we are supposed to believe the price we see is real. It is not. What you are watching is a controlled version of the market where retail activity is separated from institutional strategy. This is how price gets suppressed. Buying pressure is routed away from the public exchanges while selling pressure is allowed to hit the tape. The result is an artificial price that does not reflect true demand. Naked short selling sits at the center of this. Shares are sold that do not exist, creating synthetic supply that drives prices down and protects massive short positions. The SEC and FINRA see all of it. They have the data, they track the trades, and they understand exactly what is happening. Yet it continues, because forcing real price discovery would expose trillions in risk across Wall Street. So instead of fixing it, they protect it. This is not a free market. It is a managed system. End naked short selling. Restore transparent trading. Let the market reflect reality. #mmtlp #gme #djt

President Trump, FINRA and the SEC are moving to allow deletion of CAT data older than three years. This is not routine. This risks erasing critical evidence of market manipulation, naked shorting, and systemic fraud. At the very moment Americans are demanding transparency, regulators are preparing to shrink the window of accountability. You have the authority to act. Sign this Executive Order. Enforce strict T+1 settlement. Criminalize naked shorting. Hold all participants accountable. Preserve all CAT data. This is about protecting the financial future of every American and restoring trust in our markets. Do not let the evidence disappear. Please sign the order. @realDonaldTrump #MMTLP #GME #AMC #DJT @KurtOlsen_USA @LegalBrains @RealTheoWold EXECUTIVE ORDER (proposed) Strengthening Securities Settlement Integrity, Reforming Regulation SHO, and Combating Fraudulent Market Practices By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq., the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 77a et seq., and 3 U.S.C. 301, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose The integrity, transparency, and lawful operation of the United States securities markets are essential to the national economy, the protection of investors, and the preservation of public trust. Abusive trading practices, including persistent failures to deliver, manipulative short selling practices, and the creation or circulation of securities interests not backed by valid issuance, undermine market stability and may violate federal law.

Policy It is the policy of the United States to: (a) Ensure strict compliance with lawful securities settlement requirements (b) Eliminate persistent failures to deliver and abusive short selling practices (c) Prevent manipulative or deceptive conduct prohibited under Sections 9 and 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 (d) Promote fair, orderly, and efficient markets pursuant to Section 15(c) (e) Protect investors and strengthen confidence in United States capital markets (f) Encourage reporting of violations through whistleblower protections under 15 U.S.C. 78u-6 Section 3.

(b) Such amendments shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, include: 1.Mandatory Pre Borrow Requirement Require that, prior to effecting any short sale, a broker dealer must obtain and document a confirmed borrow of the security, eliminating reliance solely on locate arrangements where such reliance contributes to settlement failures. 2.Accelerated Close Out Requirements Require immediate or same day close out of failures to deliver for all equity securities, including threshold and non threshold securities, and eliminate extended close out timelines that permit repeated failures. 3.Prohibition on Reset Transactions Prohibit the use of options, swaps, or other derivative or structured transactions designed to evade close out requirements or mask failures to deliver. 4.Enhanced Threshold Securities Standards Strengthen the criteria for threshold securities and require automatic trading restrictions where persistent failures occur. 5.Real Time Transparency Require public disclosure, on a frequent and standardized basis, of aggregate short positions, failures to deliver, and securities lending data sufficient to promote market transparency. 6.Strict Locate Enforcement Clarify and enforce the requirement that any locate must be based on a bona fide and verifiable source of borrowable securities, with liability for false or unsupported locates. (c) The Commission shall ensure that Regulation SHO is administered in a manner that prevents the creation of synthetic or unbacked share supply that distorts price discovery. Section 5. Prevention of Unlawful Short Selling Practices (a) The Securities and Exchange Commission shall take all lawful measures to prevent and prosecute violations involving: 1.Short sales conducted without a reasonable and verifiable ability to deliver 2.Schemes to evade locate or close out requirements 3.Manipulative conduct that creates artificial market supply (b) The Department of Justice shall prioritize prosecution of willful violations of federal securities laws, including fraud, market manipulation, and conspiracy offenses under Title 18.

Section 8. Whistleblower Protection and Incentives (a) The Securities and Exchange Commission shall enhance enforcement of whistleblower protections under 15 U.S.C. 78u-6. (b) Individuals reporting violations shall be protected from retaliation and may receive financial awards consistent with law.

Game 7
Game 7@game7__·
Sports fans don't agree on much anymore. But everyone is seemingly in agreement on this: Angel Reese could legitimately beat some NBA players in a game of 1 on 1. She could easily beat at least 3 players on the Atlanta Hawks right now. I don't even have to say the names because we are all literally thinking about the same 3 guys right now. And she's about to become the biggest basketball star on the planet. Here's why. Angel Reese just got traded to the Atlanta Dream for two first-round picks. Everyone is arguing about what went wrong in Chicago. Nobody is talking about the fact that her career rebounding average would compete with the best big men in the NBA. Here's what people are missing. Angel Reese has played two WNBA seasons. In those two seasons, she has averaged 14.1 points and 12.9 rebounds per game. She's been an All-Star both years. She has 46 career double-doubles, the fastest any player has reached 30 in league history. That 12.9 rebounds per game number is wild. The NBA's top rebounders this season, Nikola Jokic and Rudy Gobert, are averaging around 13 per game. Angel Reese's career average, across two full seasons in the WNBA, is right there with them. Former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague said it outright: "She's the Dennis Rodman of the WNBA." And the records back it up. As a rookie in 2024, she set the WNBA single-season record for rebounds per game at 13.1. Her 446 total rebounds were the most any player has ever grabbed in a single WNBA season. Her 172 offensive rebounds were also a single-season record. She broke the WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles with 15 straight, shattering Candace Parker's previous record of 12. Reese did it as a 22-year-old rookie in her first 20 games. She became the first player in WNBA history to grab 20 or more rebounds in three consecutive games. The last rookie in the WNBA or NBA to post back-to-back 20-rebound games was Shaquille O'Neal. In 1993. And she did all of that with a broken wrist that ended her season six games early. In 2025, she averaged 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. Led the WNBA in rebounding again. Posted 23 double-doubles. Became the only player in league history with multiple streaks of 10 or more consecutive double-doubles. Recorded the second-youngest triple-double in WNBA history. The full story of how Angel Reese became the most dominant rebounder in women's basketball history, and what Atlanta just got for two first-round picks, is here: itsgame7.com/news/angel-ree… Before the WNBA, she won a national championship at LSU. Scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the title game. Beat Caitlin Clark's Iowa 102-85. Was named Most Outstanding Player. That game drew 9.9 million viewers, the most-watched women's college basketball game in history at the time. In the inaugural Unrivaled season in early 2025, she led the league in rebounding, posted the first 20-20 game in league history with 22 points and 21 rebounds, won the championship, and was named Defensive Player of the Year. She earned $9.4 million last year. Highest-paid Black woman in professional basketball. Beats by Dre. Cash App. Victoria's Secret. Reebok. She brings an audience and revenue wherever she goes. Atlanta gave up two first-round picks for a 23-year-old, two-time All-Star who averages a career double-double, holds more WNBA rebounding records than anyone in history, and is still a month away from her 24th birthday. Everyone is debating whether the Sky got enough. The better question is whether two first-round picks is enough for a player whose rebounding numbers compete with the best players in the NBA.

@mcuban Corruption corruption corruption. Nobody likes to be told to take their hand out of the cookie jar. Very similar to the Democrat party - fraud is everywhere. But the fraudsters don’t want to stop being frauds because it’s VERY profitable.

Why aren’t any of these at risk hospitals publishing their full accounting so everyone can see where they spend their money ? All but one group of hospitals that I have looked at potentially investing in, spend so much on consultants and fees that it’s no wonder they are at risk Plus, I have NEVER seen an industry that is worse than hospitals when it comes to buying medications and items like implants, screws, other devices. They overpay for everything. And then when you show them how to save money, their “supply chain” employees resist any change. They are so set in their ways, it’s a shock more don’t go out of business. Prove me wrong.

More than 400 hospitals across the U.S. are at high risk of closing or cutting services because of the Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” according to an analysis from the progressive watchdog group Public Citizen. nbcnews.com/health/health-…
