John Bolton: Trump calls Xi “King.” He said at the Osaka G20 meeting when they were having a bilateral, “You're the greatest leader of China since Mao Zedong,” which caught everybody a little bit by surprise. But then he said, “In fact, you're the greatest leader in Chinese history.” He thinks he's friends with Xi Jinping and with Vladimir Putin and I will guarantee you that's not how they see Trump. I think they both see him as an easy mark.

⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear. It migrated inward. Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space. That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons. So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public. The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it. The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open. The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility. That is the trade. A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation. This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question. The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults. It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation. The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.

GREEN BERET SELLS OUT HIS BROTHERS FOR $400K CASH: Elite Special Forces Sgt Used Top-Secret Maduro Raid Intel to Rig Polymarket Bets — DOJ Just Dropped the Hammer! 🔥 In the shadowed ledger of military honor, few falls strike deeper than this. Master Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke — 18-year U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, Green Beret, Fort Bragg warrior — allegedly didn’t just help execute Operation Absolute Resolve, the bold January 2026 raid that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife in Caracas with zero U.S. casualties. He allegedly bet on it first. Between December 26, 2025 and January 2, 2026, under the Polymarket handle “Burdensome-Mix,” Van Dyke placed 13 surgical bets totaling ~$33,000 on the exact timing and success of the very classified mission he helped plan and run. Outcome? Over $400,000 in profits — before the dust of the raid had even settled. Then, authorities say, he tried to scrub the account. This wasn’t gambling. This was the ultimate insider trade: turning Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) — the sacred trust signed under NDA since 2018 — into personal arbitrage. Sun Tzu taught that foreknowledge wins wars. He never imagined a soldier would commodify that foreknowledge on a prediction market while his brothers still breathed the risk. The FBI put it plainly: he “betrayed his fellow soldiers by utilizing classified information for his own financial gain.” Prediction markets like Polymarket were meant to harness collective wisdom (Hayek’s dispersed knowledge made liquid). Instead, this case reveals their darkest vulnerability: when the guardian becomes the speculator, national security itself becomes the ultimate short. DOJ and CFTC have now charged him with unlawful use of nonpublic government information, commodities fraud, wire fraud, and more. In an age where wars, elections, and geopolitics trade like futures contracts, one question echoes across the Republic: If the men we send to capture dictators can’t be trusted to keep their secrets out of the betting pool… who exactly is guarding the guardians? The oath isn’t optional. Neither is justice. What say you, X? The battlefield just went fully financial. #GreenBeretBetrayal #PolymarketInsider #ClassifiedCashout #OperationAbsoluteResolve #MaduroRaidScandal #OathBroken #PredictionMarketFraud #NationalSecurityBreach #InsiderTrade2point0 #GreenBeretArrested

@DerekLamprecht @LombardiHimself I understand why teams do it. My question is more “why does the NFL” allow the void years”? Why not just require each team to count the money towards the CAP in the actual years of the contract?

@bryan628 @LombardiHimself Because you make the cap hits in the current years smaller and spread out the money over a longer period of time. The cap has been increasing quite a bit so its a way to "borrow" against future cap in present.

Not under contract in the void years. Cap hits are simply spread to them. When the player leaves the team, money parked in the void years will accelerate to hit as dead money immediately. It’s intentionally manufactured dead money
yaminashi@dervolkman

@LombardiHimself I don’t understand the void year thing Does this mean that Gifford in contracted till 2030 but is not being paid and not a cap hit? If so what is the benefit having a no cost player under contract? Or it makes them cuttable?

California built the film industry, we’re not letting it walk away. The film tax credit, which Governor Newsom more than doubled, is how we keep good union jobs here at home. As governor, I’ll expand it further, strengthen it, and make sure production stays in California. We’re done letting other states and countries undercut us. It’s time to bring this industry back where it belongs.
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor

NEW: 16 TV projects were just awarded the @FilmCalifornia Tax Credit, including upcoming seasons of #ThePitt, #ILoveLA, and the first animated and competition shows in the history of this program. These shows are set to generate $1.3 billion statewide and 4,500+ new jobs.
