Over the past 30 days, $STRC has been less volatile than every company in the S&P 500—and every major asset class—while delivering an 11.5% dividend yield.

Hello Senator Thune, At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP. Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept. You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to. You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to. You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to. Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats. Let's be precise about what you did: 1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer. 2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM. 3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding. The precedent you set: You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins. But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered: • Voice vote to avoid accountability • Empty chamber to avoid debate • Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny • Immediate recess to avoid questions You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one. What you've actually accomplished: Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded. Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded. And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning. The question you should answer: Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM? Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record? You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like. Here's my message: We saw it anyway. Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome. Own it.

“11% is a big number.” “Am I offending you if I call it a money market fund?” - @SullyCNBC Digital Credit is redefining yield. Today we discussed Stretch $STRC on @PowerLunch.

Please share if you agree that the Senate should not recess until it has (1) fully funded DHS, and (2) passed the SAVE America Act

Chuck Norris Never Lost a Fight. Then Came Death. Chuck Norris is gone, and for some of us that sentence lands with more than celebrity grief. It reaches back into old living rooms and old versions of ourselves. I grew up watching him. I admired him. Before I ever knew how to say much about courage, I knew I was looking at a man who carried it like it belonged on him. He looked steady in a world that rarely is. He sure could take a blow and keep his feet! Now death has done what death always does. It has walked into the room and laid its hand on another man we thought of as strong. That is why I cannot think about Chuck Norris without thinking about John 21. Peter says, “I am going fishing” (John 21:3). The others go with him as they push out into the dark and spend the night doing what seasoned men know how to do, and by dawn they have nothing to show for it. There is something painfully human in that scene. Men often reach for motion when the heart is too sore to sit still. We go back to work…cleaning the garage or answering emails. We feel the need to keep our hands moving because silence has a way of opening doors we would rather leave shut. Peter knows Jesus is risen, but his heart is still carrying smoke from another fire, another night, another failure. So he gets in the boat. Then morning begins to break, and there on the shore stands Jesus. John tells us the disciples did not know it was Him at first. They only heard a voice carry over the water: “Children, do you have any fish?” (John 21:5). There is no fisherman’s tale, kust one flat word. “No.” That little answer is the true confession of every sinner who has finally run out of props. Did your effort save you? No. Did your discipline wash your guilt away? No. Did your strength keep death outside the door? No. The human race has been answering Christ that way since Eden, though most of us add noise and pride to cover it. Then Jesus says, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some” (John 21:6). They do and the ropes go tight as the net swells with life. The boat that held emptiness a moment ago strains under sudden abundance. John sees the truth first. “It is the Lord.” Of course it is. Who else speaks into human emptiness and fills it? Peter hears those words and throws himself toward shore. I have always loved that about him. He is clumsy and impulsive and often wrong, but when he knows it is Jesus, he wants to get near Him as fast as he can. That matters because there are bruised saints reading this who feel the weight of failure, and they need to know this: when the heart still runs toward Christ, even through shame and tears, grace is already at work. Then John gives one of the tenderest details in all the Bible: “When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread” (John 21:9). A charcoal fire. The last charcoal fire in John’s Gospel burned in the courtyard where Peter denied Jesus three times. Smoke has a way of carrying memory in it. One breath and a man can be dragged backward through his own sin. Peter steps onto the beach and the scent alone would have opened the wound. Yet this fire is different. This fire is burning under breakfast. The risen Christ, with scars still marking His body, has prepared a meal for tired and ashamed disciples. The meal comes first. The Lord gives Peter bread and fish while the memory of denial still hangs in the air. Then, with the fire burning nearby, Jesus begins to speak. Fish crackles over the coals. Morning light spreads across the water. The Son of God stands there on the shore like a host welcoming hungry men home. That is the heart of John 21. It is also the heart of the gospel. Jesus Christ did not come into the world to applaud the strong. Jesus Christ came for sinners. Peter’s problem could not be fixed with resolve, sentiment, or second chances. Guilt had to be dealt with. Wrath had to be borne. Sin had to be carried to Golgotha by a spotless Lamb, and death itself had to be split open by a risen Savior. That is exactly what Jesus had done. The breakfast on the shore is beautiful because the cross stands behind it. Those hands passing out bread had been pierced. That voice asking for love had cried, “It is finished” (John 19:30). That living Christ on the beach had walked out of His own grave. A man is not saved because he looks strong, disciplined, or admirable. He is saved because Jesus died for sinners and rose again, and he casts himself on Christ by repentance and faith. Only Christ saves. That is why John 21 matters so much when we think about Chuck Norris. I admired him. A lot of men did. He represented strength in an age that often confuses manhood with either passivity or brute noise. He seemed to carry conviction, toughness, and restraint in the same frame. In later years, hearing him speak openly about his Christian faith gave many believers another reason to respect him. Yet the final comfort for Chuck Norris is the same comfort for Peter, for you, for me, for every saint who dies in Christ. The final comfort is not that he once played the strong man on television. It is that there is a stronger Man on the shore. After breakfast, Jesus turns to Peter and asks the question that cuts straight through all pretense: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” (John 21:15). Three times the question comes. Three times Peter answers. Three times Jesus entrusts sheep to his care. Restoration arrives with tears in its eyes. Peter is grieved. The wound is opened. Yet he is not cast off. He is brought near. That is how Christ deals with His own. He does not flatter us. He restores us. He does not pretend sin is small. He paid for it in blood. He does not leave wounded disciples standing outside the circle. He brings them to the fire and feeds them. Then Jesus says the words that gather up Peter’s whole future, including suffering and death: “Follow me” (John 21:19). That is the Christian life. Those two words gather up a whole life. Stay near Christ when your hands are strong and when they shake, when your name is useful and when you are forgotten, when the road is bright and when it runs straight toward the grave. We are going to miss Chuck. Men who shaped our early imagination do not leave without taking some memories with them. Yet even here, John 21 steadies the heart. The deepest hope for any man is not that he looked fearless under studio lights. It is that when the last night of his earthly life was over, he came to the shore where Christ receives His own. And there Christ still stands. Fire lit. Bread ready. Mercy in His face. Nail marks in His hands. Strong enough to conquer death. Gentle enough to feed tired men breakfast.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Footage of Chuck Schumer pushing voter ID as COMMON SENSE has just re-surfaced Once he learned how to cheat, he TOTALLY changed his tune. TOTALLY sold out our country. "Let's admit the truth... one way to prove you're a bona fide person to have a job is to ask for a driver’s license and social security card!"

🚨 BREAKING — IT'S OFFICIAL: The SAVE America Act has ADVANCED in the US Senate, 51-48 GREAT WORK, @BasedMikeLee! KEEP PUSHING, PATRIOTS! We can get this done! 🇺🇸

@GovPressOffice You do realize I’m trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste right? No need to try and make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud. People are over it. Start working for the people and not against them.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Gavin Newsom's California fraud just got EXPOSED even by *CBS*, they found ONE BUILDING with 89 "hospice" companies! He also found a stretch in Los Angeles with 500 registered hospices companies in 3 miles "We found empty offices, piled-up mail, and phone lines dead." "It's REALLY bad in California, ESPECIALLY bad in LA." Hospice owner tells him: "No comment! Bye!" This is what the fake news SMEARED @nickshirleyy for doing, now CBS is doing it!

The Head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power l quit her $750,000 per year job and flees to Puerto Rico The court found the utility company liable in fire ‘dereliction of duty’ for the Pacific Palisades fire Spencer Pratt “Well, well, well, Janisse Quinones, the despised head of the LADWP, the incompetent dunce responsible for draining the Palisades-San Yanez Reservoir before the fire. She has resigned. Why you asked, did she resign because she let us burn without water during the Palisades fire? Jo. Or maybe because she never shut off the power during the fire causing additional spot fires throughout my neighborhood. Nope. Maybe she resigned because she had to drain 100 million gallons of water out of the San Yanez Reservoir again this year, running a rubber pipe through six miles of flammable brush as a backup. Is that why she stepped down? Nope. None of these horrific failures prompted her to resign. It wasn't until the judge in our Palisades fire lawsuit overruled the city's attempt to throw out our suit against Karen Basura and the LADWP giving our lawyers the green light to full discovery. That means we get to see all of Janice's emails, text messages, all of her missteps. Now she resigns and she's bailing for Puerto Rico.”

🚨 HOLY CRAP — Kristi Noem just testified UNDER OATH that the Biden regime was PAYING child traffickers to sponsor unaccompanied minors coming across the border Mayorkas and Biden should be in PRISON for this. “The government was PAYING individuals that were knowingly trafficking them and abusing them. That has stopped.” “Unaccompanied alien children were LOST by the Biden administration, not tracked. We've located about 145,000 of them”

It’s happening. Just signed a contract for the venue for our SAVE America Tour beginning in Rapid City, South Dakota. We are coming — peacefully — to Senator Thune’s backyard. March 21st: Rapid City March 22nd: Sioux Falls

The State of California has been run top to bottom by one party since 2011. Here are their results: 1) highest state income tax 2) highest rate of poverty 3) highest rate of unemployment 4) highest rate of homelessness 5) highest energy costs Hard to explain this away.

Cybertruck's air suspension on a super high level 🤩🔥

420 liters of air. Cybertruck air suspension

The lack of air suspension is my number 1 concern with ordering the $59k CT. I’m almost ready to pull the trigger and order one for 2027! Why air suspension? We currently have two older gen Model Ys (one from Fremont and one from Austin). Would really like a softer ride and also large 18” travel for off-roading sounds nice (probably never need it, but hey, I want it just in case). Aftermarket is always an option, but software built in sounds nice. Wishing there was a model in between these $59k and $79k

Folks are concerned about the lack of air suspension on the dual motor AWD @cybertruck. I can tell you from experience, @Tesla has mastered the art of suspension tuning. If CT has anything like the adaptive damping system on the Model 3 Performance, you're in for a treat! Could be BETTER than the air suspension for handling dynamics.

Provide the backup on the 60-75% ownership claim, please. Grok says it’s more like 1% to 2% of CA water. Desalination seems to be the way forward and has been battle tested by Israel when they had much more severe drought issues and then started exporting water after desalination produced more than they could consume.

Lynda Resnick is a BILLIONAIRE. Her family owns 60-75% of the water in California. In California, a state that constantly lectures its citizens about drought, conservation, and sacrifice, a billionaire agricultural family controls an EXTRAORDINARY amount of water. Lynda Resnick and her husband, Stewart Resnick, built an empire under The Wonderful Company. Fiji Water. POM Wonderful. Wonderful Pistachios. Wonderful Halos. Teleflora. Franklin Mint. Shiny brands. Clean packaging. Cheerful marketing. Behind those brands sits something far less glossy: Water. Massive quantities of it. California agriculture uses roughly 80 percent of the state’s developed water supply in most years, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. Permanent crops like pistachios and almonds require consistent irrigation year after year. You do not shut them down in a drought. If you stop watering them, you destroy long term investment. That means PRIORITY. That means GUARANTEED SUPPLY. While families in Los Angeles are told to let toilets yellow, cut back on showers, and let lawns and gardens die… enormous orchards like Resnicks, continue drinking. To the tune of 150 BILLION gallons of water every year. Did you know they participated in the 1994 secret meeting that officially ended water being a public right in California? Let’s look at this another way... open.substack.com/pub/tonyseruga…
