@Konstoyouralas1 @atrupar Enjoy the ratio. You dumb person.

@atrupar Trump called that reporter dumb and he was dead right. Double the size jacks the cost. Media is straight pathetic

TRUMP: We have a ballroom that's under budget. It's going up right here. I've doubled the size of it because we obviously need that. REPORTER: The price doubled TRUMP: I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. You are not a smart person.

@JetSetGent @Acyn So hypothetically we should bankrupt the country in this pursuit, then? Also, what about North Korea? We're just going to ignore them?

@Acyn Yep, we’re are talking about global security. You can’t let financial considerations affect the decision making when security is at stake.

@BellagioPoker Any chance I can get the photo from the April 26 5pm tourney?

@patrickc Can you point me in the right direction to get this done if I already have my full genome sequenced?

I'm lucky enough to have a great doctor and access to excellent Bay Area medical care. I've taken lots of standard screening tests over the years and have tried lots of "health tech" devices and tools. With all this said, by far the most useful preventative medical advice that I've ever received has come from unleashing coding agents on my genome, having them investigate my specific mutations, and having them recommend specific follow-on tests and treatments. Population averages are population averages, but we ourselves are not averages. For example, it turns out that I probably have a 30x(!) higher-than-average predisposition to melanoma. Fortunately, there are both specific supplements that help counteract the particular mutations I have, and of course I can significantly dial up my screening frequency. So, this is very useful to know. I don't know exactly how much the analysis cost, but probably less than $100. Sequencing my genome cost a few hundred dollars. (One often sees papers and articles claiming that models aren't very good at medical reasoning. These analyses are usually based on employing several-year-old models, which is a kind of ludicrous malpractice. It is true that you still have to carefully monitor the agents' reasoning, and they do on occasion jump to conclusions or skip steps, requiring some nudging and re-steering. But, overall, they are almost literally infinitely better for this kind of work than what one can otherwise obtain today.) There are still lots of questions about how this will diffuse and get adopted, but it seems very clear that medical practice is about to improve enormously. Exciting times!

@YPersisted @JamesTate121 @DeanBaker13 A functioning brain.

@JamesTate121 @DeanBaker13 What’s the evidence that this was a Trump insider?

A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak. This is not a talented trader. "We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row. That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research. That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes. Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses. There are only two explanations and both should terrify you. Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime. Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse. This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call. While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings. You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

@donboscomd @DiamondnKrystal You have no credibility. Haha.

@DiamondnKrystal This is false. Haha.

Iran Deal By Obama: •Strait of Hormuz open for free •Iran limits Uranium enrichment •Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons •Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance •Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance Iran Ceasefire By Trump: •Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship •Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment •Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons •Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!

@shanaka86 And now crude is up to $117. So what's your explanation?

Citrini Research sent an analyst to Oman with $15,000 in cash, recording sunglasses, a smuggled camera, and Cuban cigars for networking. The analyst signed a pledge to Omani authorities not to gather intelligence, then got on a boat and sailed to within 18 miles of the Iranian coast. What he saw contradicts every headline about the Strait of Hormuz being closed. Approximately 50 percent of tanker traffic in the strait is missing from public AIS tracking systems. The vessels are not missing because they sank. They are missing because they turned off their transponders, spoofed their GPS coordinates to broadcast false positions, duplicated the identity codes of decommissioned ships, switched to low-power transmission mode, or swapped identities with nearby vessels. The result is an electronic fog through which physical ships move crude to Asian ports while the tracking systems that Bloomberg terminals rely on show an empty waterway. More than $3 billion in crude has been transported through the strait since the war began, primarily to China, much of it under Iranian terms, paid in yuan or cryptocurrency. The strait is not closed. It is filtered. Iran decides who passes and who does not. Ships that pay the IRGC toll and accept escort through the Larak corridor transit under the electronic fog. Ships that refuse are turned away or attacked. The “closure” that drove Brent to $115 and Aramco’s OSP to a record $19.50 premium is a selective blockade operating behind spoofed transponder data that makes it look total when it is not. Brent dropped from approximately $115 to the $108 range as the report circulated. The market had priced in a complete shutdown. The reality is a controlled chokepoint generating toll revenue while maintaining the appearance of total disruption to maximise the scarcity premium on every barrel that gets through. Iran is running two operations simultaneously: a blockade for the cameras and a toll booth behind the blockade for the revenue. The opacity is the product. The fear is the markup. The techniques are not sophisticated. Going dark requires flipping a switch. GPS spoofing requires a $500 device injecting false coordinates into the transponder’s GPS input. Identity theft requires typing a different MMSI number into the AIS configuration screen. Low-power mode requires switching from 12.5 watts to 1 watt. These are not state-level cyber operations. They are the maritime equivalent of turning off your phone’s location services. The ghost fleet runs on technology any ship’s officer can deploy in minutes. The 50 percent blind spot means every estimate of Hormuz disruption based on public AIS data, every IEA shortfall calculation, every Goldman Sachs supply model, and every insurance premium derived from vessel tracking is working with half the picture. The other half is sailing in the dark, loaded with crude, headed for Chinese refineries, paying the IRGC in the currency of the country that ships sodium perchlorate to fill the missiles that the same IRGC fires at Israeli cities. The strait the world thinks is closed is open for business. The price of admission is invisibility. And the entity collecting the toll in yuan while demanding war compensation in the ten-point response is profiting from the blockade it claims is absolute, selling passage through the chokepoint it says will “never return to its former state,” and funding the war with the revenue from the peace it refuses to sign. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@MAGA_Hoosier @RepNancyMace hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

@RepNancyMace America will be the safest it’s ever been in 250yrs thanks to the actions taken by President Trump and our brave men and women!

@cfromhertz Mass didn't lose $4B in income. Residents with $4B in income left the state. At best, that's around $300M in tax revenue, in a state that collected almost $40B that year. That's not even a 1% loss. That's a massive difference between your headline and the reality.

Massachusetts Lost $4 Billion of Income After Millionaire Tax

@WorldBriefingX @sentdefender This is Trump. It's never about the facts, it's about the feelings of being disloyal. It's his version of calling someone a Commie.

@sentdefender Curious what actual votes or actions Trump is pointing to here - like what specifically did Massie do that counts as "disloyal"?

President Trump is continuing his attacks on Republican Rep. Thomas Massie tonight in his home state of Kentucky, telling crowds of supporters: “We gotta get rid of this loser. This guy is bad. He's disloyal to the Republican Party. He's disloyal to the people of Kentucky. And most importantly, he is disloyal to the United States of America.”

@Aster4Sho @OnlyInBOS Bot sowing division

@OnlyInBOS Massachusetts has lied and is DEI hiring only State job postings can only go to women or people of color Massachusetts Golden Girls are slowly turning Massachusetts into California before your eyes 👀

Massachusetts has shifted to skills-based hiring. State job postings can now require a college degree only when it’s truly necessary for the role.

@jamesmartymcfly @OnlyInBOS What time is the Klan meeting?

@OnlyInBOS This is all dumbing it down for the blacks and Hispanics. These “skills” will be determined by whom?

@dunkindonuts Just a follow up. I emailed, no response.

@Jesse_Leg @LutherEnjoyer There's also large scale fraud perpetrated by White WASPs on Wall Street, Irish/Italian Union leaders, and basically every other group. To single out one ethnicity and racially disparage them says more about the speaker and those who support it than the perpetrators themselves.

@LutherEnjoyer The large-scale welfare fraud being carried out by members of Minnesota’s sizable Somali community is a major, serious issue that needs to be addressed through policy changes. city-journal.org/article/minnes…

The GOP’s newest voters are not ideologically consistent paleoconservative populists. They’re disgruntled Obama-to-Trump or Biden-to-Trump voters whose politics are all over the map. Many have imported conspiratorial and bigoted worldviews into the GOP without simultaneously adopting a coherent conservative program. The racist in your X mentions who thinks the moon landing was faked and that George Bush arranged 9/11 is just as likely to want higher taxes and abortion-on-demand as he is to support eradicating DEI bureaucracies or doing anything to rein in the welfare state.

@MacroMicroNMike @RepDanGoldman Hah, so you use someone who makes 3 million dollars in California, the state with the highest taxes, include those state taxes in your calculations, and think that is representative of the effective rate a billionaire pays overall? And I'm the mindless one? Delusional Michael

@tapakip @RepDanGoldman So easy to debunk your lies through omission and mindless leftist plausible deniability ramblings. In California a billionaire pays an effective tax rate of 45%.

Elon Musk paid an effective tax rate of 3.3%. Jeff Bezos paid 1%. How? They take out tax-free loans against their stock.   Today I'm introducing the ROBINHOOD Act to tax these loans and generate at least $276B for universal childcare and other programs to restore access to the American Dream.   It’s time for billionaires to pay their fair share.

@MacroMicroNMike @RepDanGoldman Quick, pay me $100,000 in income and I'll pay all of it in tax for an effective rate of 100%, but make sure to get ignore the $100M in stock grants I also got.

@MacroMicroNMike @RepDanGoldman Back up your claim on effective rate being over 35%. Unless, of course, you're simply going to do what they do, and never allow their wealth to be taxed as income, thereby not including it in your calculation of an accurate effective rate.
