Not investment advice, I know nothing. I'm just a guy who talks to goats. You can't stop the wave, but you can learn to surf.

@Stephanie_WK1 Yes, like are they a leader or a follower, directionally driven or a leaf blowing in the wind, and do they consciously know that about themselves.

@stevhoff Well, it depends on what sort of person each person wants to be and what sort of life they want to lead, doesn’t it?

$AIRG. 13D Filed by a group of activist investors says they believe the company is worth$11-23/ share. They have done 2 other activist campaigns, both very successful. Stock has run up some since the filing, but still cheap by their yardstick.

Se comenta que la mujer asoleándose en el ventanal de Palacio Nacional se trata de Annie Pardo Cemo, madre de la Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
De ser así, resultaría un escándalo inédito en la historia de México que la progenitor de un mandatario le falte el respeto al patrimonio histórico de la nación.

In a landmark medical technology milestone, a fully autonomous AI-powered robotic dentist — built by US company Perceptive — completed a full crown preparation on a human patient in just 15 minutes.
The same procedure typically takes a human dentist 2–2.5 hours. The robot used real-time 3D scanning, AI decision-making, and a precision robotic arm to perform the entire procedure without any human guidance or intervention mid-surgery.
This isn't a concept or prototype — it's already been performed on real patients and a peer-reviewed study was published in the Journal of Dentistry in January 2026. Experts say this is the beginning of a transformation: robotic dentists could eliminate human error, work at any hour, and eventually bring high-quality dental care to remote and underserved communities where trained dentists are unavailable. The dental office of 2035 may look very different from today's.

Robert Mueller died last night. He was 81 years old. He had a wife who loved him for sixty years. He had two daughters, one of whom he met for the first time in Hawaii, in 1969, on a few hours of military leave, before he got back on the plane and returned to Vietnam. He had grandchildren. He had a faith he practiced quietly, without performance. He had, in the way of men who have seen real things and survived them, a quality that is increasingly rare and increasingly mocked in the country he spent his life serving. He had integrity. And tonight the President of the United States said good! I have been sitting with that word for hours now. Good. One syllable. The thing you say when the coffee is hot or the traffic is moving. The thing a man who has never had to bury anyone, never had to sit in the specific silence of a room where someone is newly absent, reaches for when he wants the world to know he is satisfied. Good. The daughters are crying and the wife is alone in the house and good. I want to speak directly to the Americans reading this. Not the political Americans. Just the human ones. The ones who have lost a father. The ones who know what it is to be in that first hour, when you keep forgetting and then remembering again, when ordinary objects become unbearable, when the world outside the window seems obscene in its indifference. I want to ask you, simply, to hold that feeling for a moment, and then to understand that the man you elected looked at it and typed a single word. Good. This is not a country having a bad day. I need you to understand that. Countries have bad days. Elections go wrong. Leaders disappoint. Institutions bend. But there is a different thing, a rarer and more terrible thing, that happens when the moral center of a place simply gives way. Not dramatically. Not with a single catastrophic event. But quietly, in increments, until one evening a president celebrates the death of an old man whose family is still warm with grief, and enough people find it acceptable that it becomes the weather. Just the weather. That is what is happening. That is what has happened. The world knows. From Tokyo to Oslo, from London to Buenos Aires, people are not angry at America tonight. Anger would mean there was still something to fight for, some remaining faith to be betrayed. What I see, in the reactions from everywhere that is not here, is something older and sadder than anger. It is the look people get when they have waited a long time for someone they love to find their way back, and have finally understood that they are not coming. America is being grieved. Past tense, almost. The idea of it. The thing it represented to people who had nothing else to believe in, who came here with everything they owned in a single bag because they had heard, somehow, across an ocean, that this was the place where decency was written into the walls. That idea is not resting. It is not suspended. It is being buried, in real time, with 7,450 likes before dinner. And the church said nothing. Seventy million people have decided that this man, this specific man who has cheated everyone he has ever made a promise to, who has mocked the disabled and the dead and the grieving, who celebrated tonight while a family wept, is an instrument of God. The pastors who made that bargain did not just trade away their credibility. They traded away the thing that made them worth listening to in the first place. The cross they carry now is a costume. The faith they preach is a loyalty oath with scripture attached. When the history of American Christianity is written, this will be the chapter they skip at seminary. Now I want to talk about the men who stand next to him. Because this is the part that actually breaks my heart. JD Vance is not a bad man. I have to say that, because it is true, and because the truth matters even now, especially now. Marco Rubio is not a bad man. Lindsey Graham is not a bad man. They are idiots, but not bad, as in BAD! These are men with mothers who raised them and children who love them and friends who remember who they were before all of this. They are not monsters. Monsters are simple. Monsters do not cost you anything emotionally because there is nothing in them to mourn. These men are something more painful than monsters. They are men who knew better, and know better still, and will get up tomorrow and do it again. Every small compromise they made had a reason. Every moment they looked the other way had a justification that sounded, at the time, almost reasonable. And now they have arrived here, at a place where a president celebrates the death of an old man and they will find a way, on television, to say nothing that means anything, and they will go home to houses where children who carry their name are waiting, and they will say goodnight, and they will say nothing. Their oldest friends are watching. The ones who knew Rubio when he still believed in something. Who knew Graham when he said, out loud, on the record, that this exact man would destroy the Republican Party and deserve it. Who sat next to Vance and thought here is someone worth knowing. Those friends are not angry tonight. They moved through anger a long time ago. What they feel now is the quiet, irrecoverable sadness of watching someone disappear while still being present. Of watching a person they loved choose, again and again, to become less. That is what cowardice costs. Not the coward. The people who loved him. And in the comments tonight, the followers celebrate. People who ten years ago brought casseroles to grieving neighbours. Who stood in the rain at gravesides and meant the words they said. Who told their children that we do not speak ill of the dead because the dead were someone's beloved. Those people are tonight typing gleeful things about a man whose daughters are not yet done crying. And they feel clean doing it. Righteous. Because somewhere along the way the thing they were given in exchange for their decency was the feeling of belonging to something, and that feeling is very hard to give up even when you can no longer remember what you gave for it. When Trump is gone, they will still be here. Standing in the silence where the noise used to be. Without the permission the crowd gave them. Without the pastor who told them their cruelty was holy. They will be alone with what they said and what they cheered and what they chose to become, and there will be no one left to tell them it was righteous. That morning is coming. Robert Mueller flew across the Pacific on military leave to hold his newborn daughter for a few hours before returning to the war. He came home. He buried his dead with honour. He served presidents of both parties because he understood that the institution was larger than any one man. He told his grandchildren that a lie is the worst thing a person can do, that a reputation once lost cannot be recovered, and he lived that, every day, in the quiet and unglamorous way of people who actually believe what they say. He was the kind of American the world used to point to when it needed to believe the story was true. He died last night. His wife is alone in their house in Georgetown. His daughters are learning what the world is without him in it. And somewhere in the particular hush that falls over a family in the first hours of loss, the most powerful man and the biggest loser on earth sent a message to say he was glad. The world that loved what America was supposed to be is grieving tonight. Not for Robert Mueller only. For the country that produced him and then became this. For the distance between what was promised and what was delivered. For the suspicion, growing quieter and more certain with each passing month, that the America people believed in was always partly a story, and the story is over now, and there is nothing yet to replace it. That is all it needed to be. A man died. His family is broken open with grief. That is all it needed to be. Instead the President said good. And the country that once stood for something looked away 🇺🇸 Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Breaking: The President's son is on a heater
Donald Trump Jr's fund invested in one of the only U.S. rare earth magnet startups at a $200M valuation
Three months later, the Pentagon awarded Vulcan a $620M loan and the Commerce Dept took a $50M equity stake
In February, Trump announced a $12B rare earth strategic reserve
Today, the company is now valued at $2 billion. That's a 10x for Trump Jr in under a year
Vulcan is building the largest rare earth magnet factory outside of China. The U.S. says it needs to stop relying on China, which controls 90% of global rare earth processing
The timing is either the greatest coincidence in investing history, or it isn't

Many people believe the worst of this war is already visible. They think we have seen the major players reveal themselves. They think the battlefield lines are already drawn.
Not quite.
Unlike Hezbollah, which has already flexed its muscles along Israel’s northern border, one of Iran’s most dangerous proxy forces has not yet fully entered the fight.
The Houthis. And when they do, the global consequences will be immediate, brutal, and impossible to ignore.
Right now the Strait of Hormuz is effectively shut down. Despite Trump’s invitation for other nations to provide safe passage, tankers have stopped entering and leaving the Persian Gulf. For all practical purposes, the normal flow of oil and liquefied natural gas from the Gulf to the global market has ground to a halt.
That alone would normally be enough to send energy markets into panic. But the world has found a temporary workaround.
Tankers are now shifting westward, loading crude from Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea port of Yanbu. Instead of leaving through the Persian Gulf, oil is being pumped across the Saudi desert through a massive pipeline nearly 700 miles long.
The idea is simple. If Iran threatens the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia can bypass the Persian Gulf entirely and ship oil out of the Red Sea instead.
In fact, that is exactly what the pipeline was designed for.
Saudi Aramco has already...

@StatWatch25 You want to show me how this oil tankers get transported overland?
English
🇮🇱🇦🇪🚨 Israeli Army Radio:
The Iranians have increased this week their attacks on the port of Fujairah in the UAE, and Google Maps explains the reason.
This port is the "bypass road" to the Strait of Hormuz, through which oil tankers can be transported by land from Dubai or Abu Dhabi, and from there sail into the open sea without passing through the strait.
The map shows the proximity of Iran to the UAE, the distance between Qeshm Island and the tip of Ras al-Khaimah is about 50 kilometers, and from Bandar Abbas only 80 kilometers.
This proximity imposes a short warning on the Emiratis and makes intercepting drones a more difficult task.

The New York Post writes that U.S. intelligence agencies believe that Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is homosexual and that it could weaken his support among the Islamic regime’s elites.
US intelligence reportedly indicates that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may be homosexual, according to sources cited by The New York Post.
Trump reportedly laughed aloud in surprise when briefed on the intelligence, according to sources.
The sources claim Mojtaba had a long-term relationship with his childhood tutor.
A 2008 US diplomatic cable published by WikiLeaks described Mojtaba receiving treatment in the UK for “impotence.”
It noted he married relatively late, around age 30, and required multiple treatments abroad before his wife became pregnant.
CBS News previously alluded to “issues” in Mojtaba’s personal life that reportedly influenced his father’s choice of successor.
Homosexuality is illegal in Iran and punishable by death, though the government permits surgical sex-change operations, which some homosexual men reportedly undergo under pressure.

If these details are accurate, the bigger question is how someone previously convicted of attempting to support a terrorist organization was able to re-enter society without closer monitoring. Situations like this raise serious concerns about how rehabilitation, surveillance, and public safety are balanced after release.

A report from NBC News indicates the identity of the shooter from this morning's incident at Old Dominion University as 36-year-old Mohamed Jalloh. Jalloh is a native of Sierra Leone who joined the U.S. Army National Guard in 2009. In 2016 he was arrested and convicted on federal charges of attempting to provide material support to ISIS and released from federal custody in 2024.

🚨 BREAKING! U.S. Bases Sustained Major Losses In Iran War!
Several U.S. military bases (or facilities on them) in the Middle East have sustained significant damage, including destruction of specific structures, from Iranian retaliatory strikes in late February and early March 2026. This is part of the ongoing U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict that escalated around February 28, 2026.
Contrary to rumors, however, no entire major U.S. base appear to have been completely destroyed, in the sense of being abandoned or seized by ground forces.
However, satellite imagery and reports confirm substantial structural damage at multiple sites, particularly to key infrastructure like communications terminals, radar systems, buildings, and warehouses. U.S. officials have described some damage as "minimal" in early statements and said operations were not critically impacted, but independent analyses (e.g., from The New York Times, ABC News, and open-source satellite providers like Planet Labs) show more extensive effects.
Key Affected Bases and Reported Damage (as of early March 2026):
- Naval Support Activity Bahrain (headquarters of U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Manama, Bahrain):
Iranian strikes destroyed several structures, including two satellite communications terminals and parts of the headquarters. Videos and satellite imagery showed damage to buildings, warehouses, and a radome (radar dome). This has been described as extensive in some reports.
- Bases in Kuwait (e.g., Ali Al Salem Air Base, Camp Arifjan, Camp Buehring):
Visible damage to buildings and structures from missiles/drones, including projectile impacts and destroyed elements. Casualties reported here, including U.S. service members killed (at least 3–6 total across incidents, with some from drone strikes or related events).
- Al Udeid Air Base (Qatar):
Hit by ballistic missiles; at least one penetrated defenses, damaging high-value assets like an early warning radar system. Described as the largest U.S. base in the region taking a direct hit, though no casualties reported in some strikes.
- Other locations (e.g., sites in UAE, Iraq, Saudi Arabia):
Damage to communication infrastructure, radar systems, and structures near ports/airfields. Some reports mention strikes on facilities in Dubai-area or Erbil (Iraq).
Casualties among U.S. personnel have been confirmed (at least 6 killed and others injured across incidents, per Pentagon statements), mostly from strikes in Kuwait and related attacks. Iranian claims of much higher U.S. losses or total base destruction are unverified and appear exaggerated.
The situation is fluid amid ongoing exchanges, with U.S./allied defenses intercepting many incoming threats.

URGENT: Connecticut - the so-called "Constitution state" - is about to pass an unconstitutional law DIRECTLY TARGETING homeschoolers in a mind-blowing way.
Under the law, if you pull your kids from public school to homeschool them, your family IMMEDIATELY has your case turned over to DCF.
This is beyond outrageous... and it's entirely Democrats behind it. By the way, this is the same state that passed a law requiring tampon and maxi pad dispensers in the boys bathrooms in the elementary schools.
Children are being targeted by the left. We can NOT sit here silently and ignore it.
