@mog_russEN Given how easily an excavator punches through the fuselage, kind of makes you wonder how an airplane smashed through solid steel beams on 9/11.

A bulldozer damages a Spirit Airlines aircraft after it was recently taken out of service.

@FirstSquawk This is retail margin, the actual leverage in the market is much, much higher.

U.S. MARGIN DEBT JUMPED $83 BILLION IN APRIL TO RECORD $1.3 TRILLION LEVERAGED BORROWING UP $453 BILLION, OR 53%, OVER PAST YEAR

@UziCryptoo They are both wrong. Florida is moving to fix property tax, hopefully the country follows.

You can't tax rich people on unrealized gains from stocks because "it's not real money until it's sold." So explain to me why my property taxes keep going up based on the unrealized value of my house? I didn't sell it. I didn't cash out. I didn't make a profit. But somehow I'm paying taxes on paper gains every single year. Interesting how "unrealized gains" only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved.

@Billybobwalter1 @MaineGirl1717 Love Maine, have a Lakehouse there, but I’d say it’s more like 4 amazing months.

The thing about Maine is that we live in the best possible place on earth for like 7 months out of the year. The other 5 months are like “man, I gotta get the fuck outta here”

@Kaique0819 @FoxNews No different than saying they can't be President.

LOL.is Nancy Mace trying to change the “American Dream” into the “American Dream — Natives Only”?Then what’s the point of immigrants busting their asses to become congressmen? Might as well just tell them at the citizenship ceremony: “Welcome to America, but you’ll never be the boss”

Nancy Mace is proposing a ban on foreign-born citizens from serving in Congress, presidential cabinets, and becoming federal judges, arguing those positions should be reserved for natural-born American citizens. The proposal would impact both Democrats and Republicans, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Rep. Ted Lieu, Sen. Bernie Moreno, Rep. Young Kim, and several other lawmakers who immigrated to the U.S. before becoming citizens. Mace suggests that naturalized citizens may have divided loyalty between the United States and their home countries, “For too long we have allowed foreign-born members to hold seats in this government, while making clear their loyalty is not here. We see it every day."

If you've ever wondered how the gold or silver, or currently, the oil markets are manipulated to the downside by unfairly large paper short volume, I explain it all here. Enjoy, and don't miss it, cuz I haven't seen anyone else arguing this.

@chrismartenson Also a message to all incumbent Republican Senators and Congressmen - tow the line, or else you are next.

Here's my hypothesis. What we just witnessed in KY with the Massie loss was a 'struggle session.' It was designed to send one message: "We're fully in control, you have no power, and you might as well not even waste the time to vote." It was an operation designed to inflict demoralization. Same as not being allowed to be on the beach alone during 'Covid.' That's it's complete nonsense **IS** the point. Same as publicly executing Charlie Kirk. Same energy, same intention, & the same people. The point is to demonstrate their power, with the target being your sense of agency and control. We no longer need to wonder why the Trump administration has zero interest in finding CK's actual killer. It's the same people. Who was that figure in white seen leaving the roof of the Sorenson building at UVU that fateful day? That nobody cares on Tyler's 'defense team' or with any investigative authority is meant to be both obvious to the thinking person, as well as demoralizing. That's the play; fracture and divide us. Demoralize people to the point of giving up before they can even begin to organize, let alone fight. It's a form of cognitive warfare, and it's been running non-stop since Covid first appeared in 2020. Why? Because someone hates America and its people and wishes to see us taken down. The Barbarians are inside the gates. That's what the Massie loss means to me.

Never seen Republicans go after somebody like they going after Massie They don’t even attack Democrats like this

@gummibear737 So if you are the most pro-Liberty congressman, refuse AIPAC money and don't tow the line on Israel that makes you "the woke right". Got it.

The amount of free PR (positive) given to the woke right by MSM is astounding...it's also very smart Republican better wise up fast

Welcome to the most asymmetric trade in modern financial history. The thread below lays out why. The opportunity exists because capital has chased the AI trade while ignoring the physical assets AI requires to run — assets that have quietly become the best-performing asset class of the decade. Since October 2020 when we first called for the commodity super cycle: QCI Total Return +217%, GSCI Total Return +205%, Gold +140%. NASDAQ trails at +130%. S&P 500 at +85%. The top three are all commodities. Yet oil cannot get out of its own way while copper and the broader atom complex prints fresh highs . That is the dislocation. That is the trade. Get long. Buckle in. Hang on for the ride. Forgive the longer posts in this thread — attempting to mimic my old 10-bullet commodity takes. On to it.

Wow. Thomas Massie’s donation map vs Ed Gallrein’s donation map. 👀

@TroddenTrail It was built in 1975 for $55 million, talk about inflation.

Because you wanted a Francis Scott Key Bridge update. *collapsed 2 years ago *primary contractor fired *budget initially 1.8 billion now 5.2 billion *completion initially 2028 now late 2030. Posting this in pencil.

@NoLimitGains Financial suppression.

What do you call this pattern?

@JesseCohenInv The Bessent fire hose.

What do you call this chart pattern?

🚨 BOMBSHELL: Former Ketanji Brown Jackson clerk blows the whistle — Justice Jackson proudly flies BLM, “No Human Is Illegal,” and Pride flags in her Supreme Court chambers. She’s accused of vile anti-white racist rants, calling opponents “racist white trash,” and openly ruling based on woke ideology instead of the Constitution. The ex-clerk says she hates America’s founding and obsesses over obstructing Trump. This isn’t a judge. This is radical activism in a robe. Impeachment season? #SCOTUS #ImpeachJackson #WokeCourt

@SaltyGoat17 Adding insult to injury, most of these RINOs are from very Red states.

If y'all want a good idea of who needs to be replaced in the Senate, look no further!!

@unusual_whales Good luck balancing your budget Bud.

BREAKING: NYC's Mamdani pushes to shrink NY hedge fund and private equity tax breaks, per Bloomberg.

FedEx was paid $2.2B in Federal Tax dollars then fired 12,000 Americans and hired H1B's to replace them.

@SenRandPaul Reads like a "Who's Who" of RINOs. Every NAY on this list needs to be replaced or this country is lost.

Last week, I offered an amendment to the budget resolution to fully fund ICE & Border Patrol by cutting $45B foreign aid, $5B refugee welfare, $16B from Education, and $4B from NSF. 27 Senate Republicans joined the Democrats to vote against it.

@adamscochran I concur.

We know that the Treasury has been suppressing cash settled oil futures on behalf of the administration. But think when we finally audit this corrupt administration we’ll also find they were bolstering the S&P 500 futures as well. During the past two weeks, we’ve had aggressive nightly TWAP buying during closed market hours, repeatedly shifting prices up 0.2% plus, reversing every sell off and obeying every EMA line. Remarkably odd behavior, and it always perfect front runs the next Barak Ravid headline, and leads with futures with spot chasing. The administration has risked billions in tax payer money to fraudulently paint the tape, in violation of its own CFTC regulations.
