We will tax ourselves with higher tariffs; destroy international trade and dollar supremacy; as well as blow up economic interdependence built over the last 80 years in order for uneducated whites in the Midwest to get a job that does not require an education.

@kocsi_erika This is amazing.

@bourscheid Proof he’s doing it for the ratings. It’s all for show All of it. Performative Presidency™️ @WhiteHouse

#BREAKING: White House staffer says Trump is regretting the decision to go to war with Iran, having assumed being a wartime president would result in the 80%+ approval ratings GWB received. Sending our troops to die & destroying the oil economy for poll numbers. Unbelievable.

@unusual_whales Lots of winning So much winning

Nearly 590,000 people paid $59 million in deposits for the Trump gold phone, yet a year later not a single device has shipped and the launch date has disappeared from the website, per YF Trump Mobile’s updated terms reportedly now state deposits do not guarantee a phone will ever be produced or made available for sale.

@CrazyVibes_1 Who’s the guy in the photo

Christmas, 1967. Vietnam. Bob Hope cracks a joke. Then the ground erupts. Rocket impact. The stage shakes. 10,000 troops hit the dirt — mud, helmets, silence. Secret Service and MPs rush him. “Sir, we’re evacuating. Now.” Bob Hope steps back to the mic. He looks at 10,000 men flat on Christmas Day, 9,000 miles from their kids, and says: “Relax, fellas. If they’re shooting at us, that means we’re the most important people in the world.” The mud laughs. Then stands up. And the show goes on. That wasn’t bravery for cameras. That was Tuesday for Bob Hope. 1941: He starts with 300 soldiers in California. Sees their faces. Gets addicted. “I looked at them, they laughed at me, and it was love at first sight,” he said. He never kicked it. So he chased the wars. North Africa, 1943 — while the desert was still on fire. South Pacific, 1944 — island to island, with snipers in the trees. Korea, 1950 — performing in parkas, breath freezing on the mic. Vietnam, 1964–1972 — every. single. Christmas. No five-star hotels. He flew in C-130s with the troops. Ate what they ate. Slept on cots that smelled like mildew and diesel. And he brought backup: Ann-Margret, Raquel Welch, Joey Heatherton. Why? Because “a girl in sequins on a plywood stage in a war zone isn’t a show. It’s a reminder. That home is real. That you’re going back.” He wasn’t drafted. He wasn’t paid extra. He turned down millions to spend Christmas with strangers who had rifles. 31 Christmases in a row. 1942 to 1972. No breaks. No excuses. Your dad missed one Christmas for work and you still bring it up. Bob Hope missed 31 with his wife and kids… on purpose. And when the wars “ended”? He kept going. 1983: Beirut, days after 241 Marines were killed. 1987: Persian Gulf. 1990: Desert Storm. He was 87. Eighty. Seven. Four wars. Five decades. 11–15 million troops. He buried friends. He flew through flak. He told jokes while doctors did triage 50 feet away. A reporter asked him after that rocket attack: “Why risk it? You could do this in Vegas.” Hope smiled. “Because Christmas in a war zone is when a laugh weighs the most.” He died in 2003 at 100 years old. No one remembers his monologue timing. They remember the sound of hope — literal Hope — cutting through artillery. He never fired a shot. But he stood on more battlefields than most generals. He never wore a uniform. But he showed up more than anyone who did. On the one day a year when being away from home breaks you… he was there. 31 times. That’s not a career. That’s a commitment.

@jaketapper Oh but not as bad as sleepy Joe biden, huh

@IngrahamAngle You spelled @GOP wrong.

Notice that when they lose, Dems will NEVER stop to reconsider their radical policies that are failing everywhere. Instead they rush to rewrite the rules. Watch closely for Obama’s role in this—a coordinated effort to destabilize our entire system.

@unusual_whales Not 600%?

Trump: If they had brains in Chicago... we'd get crime numbers down 80%.

@ok_post_guy He charged $100 pp. It pays for itself.

I cannot believe the Rose Garden got turned into a shitty Au Bon Pain

@Suzierizzo1 But he made $45 Trillion for the USA! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER

@DeItaone I don’t know Let’s ask @ZelenskyyUa

PUTIN: I THINK THE UKRAINE CONFLICT IS COMING TO AN END

@unusual_whales Such whiney rich white men @leddalhlwee

Ken Griffin: “What the mayor of New York has made clear to my partners, and principally my New York partners, is that we need to double down on our bet in Miami"

@YourAnonOne @theliamnissan Baby’s first steps. Such a miracle.

Joe Rogan says recent Trump administration UFO files release may be a distraction from growing backlash over Iran conflict.

@unusual_whales “Soon we’re gonna have a death spiral demographic like Japan.”

"Florida’s migration patterns are changing. Residents in their prime working years are heading to other states, while fewer people are arriving," per WSJ

@rcarnold1 @TheMaverickWS Unlike the circle jerk of ownership and revenue going among the hyperscalers.

@TheMaverickWS You are missing one major factor, Many Dot com era companies had little to no Revenue. Every company has billions in cash flow now.

Few parallels between today and the Dot Com era: 1) Cisco (overestimation of demand): Was the Nvidia of the 1990's. By 2001 the company had to write off billions of unsold inventories and the stock crashed 2) Sun Microsystems (Hardware bubbles): impressive growth but could not live up to the valuation at the end when demand stabilized. The CEO later blamed investors "What were you thinking?" 3) Lucent Technologies (Circular financing): Used its billions in revenue to finance its customers who eventually failed The argument today is it's different because of the scale of the players involved. I view it as added danger because when the Dot Com Bubble went bust, the economy suffered a minor recession. When this bubble goes bust, the economy will face a depression.

@mtgreenee It’s like watching a toddler walk for the first time.

I really don’t care about the UFO files. I just don’t. I’m so sick of the “look at the shiny object” propaganda while they wage foreign wars, let rapist and pedophiles run free, and ruin the value of our dollar. Unless they roll out live aliens and test demo UFOs or actually admit what we know this really is then I have way better things to do on this Friday.

I am confident enough in myself to say that I feel like I'm the only person not making life-changing money in semiconductors and AI stocks. Like I completely missed it. So now I feel the desire to buy "the next rotation." I don't know. Hope my insecurities help others.

@rawsalerts It’s like watching a child take his first steps.

🚨#BREAKING: Joe Rogan is now claiming that the recent UFO file dump could be a distraction from the ongoing Iran conflict, questioning the timing of the disclosure amid growing public backlash over the war.
