say goodbye to your family before Thanksgiving the most deadly serious Thanksgiving slate I’ve ever seen this is ridiculous 🔥🔥🔥




Having Trout National open is a true full circle moment. What started as a hometown vision is now a reality, built alongside an incredible group of family, friends, and partners who believed in it from the start. Grateful for all of you. Thank you!



🇺🇸 Elon and Charlie Kirk warned about the SPLC for years… Everyone called them crazy. Now the SPLC is facing a federal indictment. The organization that built its entire brand labeling others as hate groups is the one under federal scrutiny. Ironic isn’t it? Source: Fox News, @elonmusk

Rahm Emanuel throws Democrats under the bus for three minutes straight—then casually walks off with a sip of coffee. Watch this guy closely. He clearly wants to be president. “The Democratic Party… invited a bunch of culture wars into our kids’ schools, and we lost that war.” “Up in San Francisco, [Democrats] were arguing and voted to take Abraham Lincoln’s name off of a high school. Not whether they were worried about whether the kids knew why Abraham Lincoln was such an icon, and the school was named after him. They lost the plot.” “The American people… want us to show up and help them. Not argue about Latinx as a term. Not argue about defunding the police… or letting the border get out of control.” “We actually have to show respect for the American people, their primary concerns, and help them.” “Went down to Mississippi. They went from 49th to 9th in reading. A lot of interest groups don’t want to talk about it. We messed this up in our party.” “We used to be really great about education. We’ve lost it… We’re worried about names of schools, bathrooms, locker room access. Get back to what matters.” “Why do parents move to a neighborhood? Because that’s a good school for their kid. If you focus on that, guess what? People are going to support you. If you don’t focus on it, they’re going to walk away from you.” [Sips coffee while the audience applauds]

LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil spoke at length about the future of the league, and sounded optimistic it can continue on without PIF funding, but says structural changes are coming. Are you buying it?


I was getting a haircut today. Barber asked me what I did. I said I code. Him: "Oh, how is that? Isn't that useless cause of AI?" Me: "Yeh..." Him: "What software do you build?" Me: "For crypto." Him: "Oh, I heard bitcoin died." Pwned 2x back to back.
