no one wants to admit it, but if the US Government bought 1 billion bushels of Corn at $5/bushel and set it on fire, it would do more for Farmers than +$50 billion dollars worth of subsidies
but of course, these programs do not really benefit the Farmers directly, rather the ones they owe money to

If you want higher gas prices, vote for Gavin Newsom. If you want homeless naked drug addicts crapping on your sidewalks, be sure to vote for Gavin Newsom. If you want rampant illegals taking your jobs, he’s your guy. And crime? Gavin’s the one!

It is MADNESS that New York and other states embraced policies that shut down refineries, shut down nuclear plants and blocked pipelines, and then claim to have the answer on affordability.
They have a 15-year track record of raising prices across the Northeast!

🚨 NOW: Ted Nugent NAILS IT at the Trump rally
"I'm a radical. I'm an EXTREMIST."
"I believe my life pivots upon God, family, country, constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, work ethic, law and order, self-defense, private property rights!" 🇺🇸
He just said everything opposed by Democrats! THAT'S where we are at this point in American history
If believing in God, family and the Constitution makes you an "extremist" to the left, then sign MILLIONS of Americans up
That list used to be just called being AMERICAN. Now Democrats treat it like a threat

President Trump opened Trump Accounts so American kids can start building wealth early — with a $1,000 government seed for newborns (2025–2028) invested in the stock market.
Michael & Susan Dell stepped up with a $6.25 billion pledge, putting $250 into accounts for ~25 million children who didn’t get the full federal seed.
Now Elon Musk is pledging one of his SpaceX shares to every kid in America next year — “the first of many.”
That’s private citizens and companies putting real ownership and compounding growth directly into the hands of the next generation.
A small stake today can grow into something meaningful by adulthood. This is how you help American kids.
They didn’t have to do this, and yet did.
This is what caring about Americans looks like. Give credit where credit is due.

The reason I'm so sure Democrats will lose is they have nothing of value to offer.
If hating Trump were enough, Kamala would be president.

NEVER try to make people like you.
You could LITERALLY build a flying car and donate $10 billion to children, and people will STILL find ways to shit on you.
Just be you.

Never forget that it was Barack Obama who ordered and orchestrated the Russia Hoax against Trump knowing it was false.
-Obama ordered the ICA to undermine Trump before he took office.
-It was rushed, politicized, and bypassed standard intel procedures.
-Brennan handpicked 5 CIA analysts to draft it with minimal review.
-Obama was briefed on Clinton’s plan to smear Trump with fake Russia ties.
-CIA forced FBI and NSA to accept its narrative despite internal objections.
-Congress was misled with selective and inconsistent briefings.
-Brennan and Clapper pushed a lie, hiding dissent within the IC.
-FBI kept investigating Trump even after ruling out collusion internally.
He has no right to talk about targeting political opponents.
Treasonous.
It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.
Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.
Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.
Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.
In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.
The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.
Here's what I have to say about @Tesla $TSLA after reading many of the other people that I follow comment on Tesla after the Roadster Demo last week.
1) After 16+ years as a Tesla owner and investor (original Model S deposit in 2009), here’s a clear-eyed look at where things stand. I’m fully aware of the ambitious goals and the many missed target dates. The most persistent disappointment has been the 4680 cell’s economics. COVID crushed cost assumptions across the board, and production + engineering didn’t deliver the hoped-for step-change in cost and efficiency. That said, cost per kWh has still fallen dramatically with volume, which is why the Model Y has beaten gasoline cars in its segment and become the world’s top-selling vehicle.
2) FSD has been the standout. I bought it in 2018 on a Model 3 when it was still quite limited. Since the 14.x stack arrived last November, it has driven ~95%+ of my miles for the past 11 months. The progress is genuinely game-changing for daily use and, more importantly, for safety. My wife now volunteers how much better the car drives wherever we go—that’s the strongest real-world endorsement I’ve seen.
3) Cybertruck: mixed bag on paper, positive in practice. Price and range fell short of the original promises (metal prices and battery weight both worked against it post-COVID), and we didn’t get the rolling 4×4 or the ramps many of us hoped for. We did get a bulletproof truck with a long list of useful features, and I still love driving it. Tires have also held up better than expected—50k miles with 10k+ remaining, which I largely credit to FSD’s smoother driving.
4) Other products:
Supercharging network has been excellent—high reliability, good in-car routing, and I’ve never waited on multi-cross-country trips.
Model S (400-mile version, 2019) remains a favorite: comfortable, beautiful, free Supercharging + FSD.
Model X never appealed (price, size, NVH).
Home Powerwall and Solar Roof: still too expensive for my situation. Grid-scale storage is a clear positive. Solar continues to be a tough competitive environment vs. Chinese manufacturers.
5) On the company and stock:
Media and political pressure have been constant (Tesla doesn’t advertise, and NHTSA/media cycles have been relentless). Elon’s large stock sales generated a historic tax payment, but the political noise didn’t quiet. Valuation has swung from extreme multiples (PSR >20× was a reasonable trim zone) to much lower levels; covered-call writing has been a consistent way to generate returns. I’m a rational, diversified investor—not all-in—but Tesla has already exceeded my expectations on road safety.
6) Robots remain a great goal for me. DOGE and meme-coin episodes are best treated with humor (the SNL moment marked a clear top). Government efficiency is an oxymoron by definition.
Overall, the engineering progress has been remarkable. Credit to Elon and the team for continuing to attract strong talent. The core products (especially FSD and the Supercharger network) have delivered real, measurable value for owners.

Tesla has officially announced that it will hold its annual shareholder meeting on December 3, 2026. There are three items up for a vote:
• Re-electing Elon Musk, Robyn Denholm and JB Straubel to the board for three-year terms.
• A non-binding say-on-pay vote on 2025 executive compensation. The compensation table lists about $158.4 billion in 2025 stock awards for Musk.
• Approving PWC as Tesla's auditor for 2026.
There is no mention of any merger with SpaceX in this proxy filing. Letter from Tesla Chair of the Board, Robyn Denholm:
"Dear Fellow Shareholders,
2026 has been a year of investment and progress for Tesla. We continued solidifying our foundation by strengthening our core vehicle, energy and services businesses as we build the infrastructure for our next phase of growth.
We also moved closer to a future of autonomous transportation and real-world super intelligence (“SI”). This year, we began producing Cybercab at Gigafactory Texas and expanded our Robotaxi service to more U.S. cities. FSD (Supervised) usage grew exponentially as we continued to gain users and expand into new markets. We surpassed over 10 million vehicles delivered, and the Model Y remains on track to be the best-selling vehicle this year of any kind, globally, as we achieved record deliveries in countries around the world. We launched the Tesla Semi, which will revolutionize the trucking industry, and unveiled the long- awaited Next Gen Roadster. We also made progress in energy generation and storage, with record deployments out of Megafactory Shanghai and production of the new Megapack 3 at our Megafactory in Texas. As SI infrastructure demand increases, energy storage will be critical to expand capacity from the existing grid.
At the same time, we continued developing the products and investing in the infrastructure required to provide them at scale, including building our Semi factory in Nevada and the first production lines for Optimus, and additional data center capacity to train our SI systems. Our recent investments in battery and chip manufacturing, including our Terafab initiative, will help secure the supply of critical components enabling us to offer products affordably on a mass market basis so that humanity may benefit. We remain focused on managing costs and maintaining the financial strength to support our ambitious long-term goals.
We have accomplished a great deal, but we are still at the early stages of what we believe Tesla can become. Our employees’ innovation, hard work and dedication are essential to realizing that potential and creating lasting value for you, our shareholders. Your confidence in Tesla means a great deal to us, and we take the trust of our shareholders seriously. We listen to you, as your voices and votes help shape our governance and our future. And, as a Board, we want to continue hearing from as many of you as possible.
That includes retail investors, who face technological barriers to traditional voting. As a result, Tesla recently pioneered the creation of user-friendly practical tools to empower the voices of retail shareholders, which provide a no-fee, investor-directed voting process similar to those currently available to institutional investors. And because we believe all retail voices should be heard across the capital markets, we have made sure the framework supporting enrollment into voluntary retail voting programs would not only be available to Tesla, but to all public companies. As we look ahead, we have the building blocks, vision and team necessary to achieve our bold yet worthwhile objectives. I am honored to serve on the Board alongside Elon Musk and JB Straubel, two technological visionaries whose leadership has helped make Tesla what it is today. The three of us are grateful to have been nominated to serve for another term on the Board of this extraordinary company. We understand that a steady and experienced hand during this time of rapid technological change is essential to Tesla’s success. Therefore, your vote is critical to maintaining that leadership, and I ask you to vote FOR our re-election to the Board so we can continue guiding Tesla through our next phase of growth.
We have transformed numerous industries before, ranging from electric vehicles to battery storage systems. We could not be more excited to do it again, as we bring SI into the physical world. The best is yet to come.
Thank you for your continued support of Tesla. Very truly yours,
Robyn Denholm
Chair of the Board"

Democrats haven't offered a single idea to lower costs—they just gave us the crisis in the first place.
Since I posted about using Grok Bot to buy things with my credit card, so many people have been asking whether it’s actually safe
What’s actually strange to me is that for decades, people have been handing their credit cards to complete strangers at restaurants. Someone takes your card, walks away with it, swipes it through a machine, processes your payment, and brings it back
And most people don’t even think twice about it
We live in a digital world where software already handles enormous amounts of financial transactions every single day
Tbh these days is actually more safer to let AI/SI do the shopping for you then you doing the shopping for you
with AI/SI agents, you can sandbox them, give them limited permissions, and have them ask for your approval before making important decisions…. These days the latest models are really good at understanding the real world and they’re extremely cautious about the things that they do for you
From what I’ve personally experienced with Grok Bot, it’s actually extraordinary how cautious it is when handling these tasks
If something is expensive or really needs your attention, it simply pauses for a moment and asks you what you want to do. It gives you a few simple options, you choose what you want, and the final decision is still yours where you have to make
And all of this happens without you having to go through the entire hassle of shopping yourself
I’ve personally watched how carefully Grok Bot handles these things, and I’m really impressed by it
Even Elon said that if Grok Bot makes a mistake with your purchase, they’ll make you whole
That tells you how much confidence the team has in what they have built…. and it is really amazing. I just run out of limits every single week because I’ve been using it so much
The interesting part is
Grok Bot actually does a better job shopping than you in many situations
Think about how often you open shopping website to buy something, see some random banner or attractive advertisement, and suddenly you’re looking at three other things you never even needed 😂
This happens all the time with online shopping
These websites are absolutely filled with advertisements designed to grab your attention and get you to buy more things
But Grok Bot can actually research what you need, compare products, find better deals, and save you a lot of money instead of getting you distracted in that entire mess of advertising
And the amount of time it saves is actually just ridiculous
You don’t have to spend hours browsing different websites, comparing prices, going through endless product listings, filling out forms, and handling every single step of the purchase
You just tell your Grok Bot what you want, and it handles so much of the work for you. And whenever something actually needs your attention, it simply asks
It gets so much easier, and once you start using these Grok Bot for everyday tasks, you really begin to understand how incredibly useful it really is

Just weeks ago I considered this to be a map of Superchargers. The foundation that made EV’s a going concern for the first time.
But it’s not.
These dots represent fully permitted and built power stations in an era where every AI player is trying to figure out how to get power for compute.
This is the largest electrical power moat I’ve ever seen that can fully supply current and future charging needs while collecting and storing cheaper power during off-peak to supply an AI revolution.
Elon doesn’t care who knows anymore.
2nd place is… crumbs.
AWS was built from excess server space needed during peak demand. Now it’s bigger and more valuable than the core Amazon retail business.
Tesla is about to drop a hardware smackdown right in the face of software engineers.
AI prototypes are easy.
Scaling is hard.
If only Tesla had a factory pouring out millions of chips each year that are underutilized 95% of the time. Each with their own battery storage. Imagine that.
Tesla could call them ‘cars’.
And that power moat?
It’s all fully upgradable. It’s primed to be tripled. Only a handful of Tesla charging stations currently have solar and/or Megapacks. For 14 years Tesla has permitted and built the gas stations of the future around the world. Everyone said it would fail. All of them were wrong. And now Tesla is in a process of creating a possible 10x value stamp on those stations that should have never been built.
It makes you wonder,
When a vehicle now leaves the Tesla factory; how do we even begin to calculate the economic production that it will generate during its lifetime? It’s a Robotaxi, energy storage, and a fully sealed/cooled compute processor. They may as well start shitting gold out of a tailpipe.
