Alex Karp on NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani: “Obviously someone who has no work experience ever, who has views that have never worked, should not be put in charge of the most important enterprise of its kind, maybe in the world.”
Replying to @FoxNews
Mamdani has built nothing. He is a taker, never a maker.

Tom & Zendaya: quiet, classy wedding. No ego parade no massive spectacle just private vows like normal humans. Travis & Taylor: renting out MSG for a $100M circus of 1,000 celebs with street shutdowns & helicopter cams. Because nothing says ‘true love’ like turning your wedding into a narcissistic spectacle for the timeline. Some marry. Taylor performs. I give it 6 months tops.

🚨 JUST IN: Gov. Ron DeSantis MIC DROPS rude and interrupting Fake News reporter whining that he's abolishing property taxes for millions of Florida homeowners "EXCUSE ME! YOU asked the question, I'm answering it!" "EVERY local government has a self-interest in keeping the GRAVY TRAIN [of money] going!" "If you can't SEE that, I don't know HOW I can help you. You're going to continue to be inundated by this. They're going to tell you, they're going to tell you there's no money for infrastructure. You're not going to have any money for police, you're not going to have any money for any of these things. They are going to say that over and over again!" "DON'T buy the HYPE that you can't do these things. I can tell you any time the property tax is put to voters around the country, you hear the same arguments over and over again." "They are going to say, 'oh, we can't give pay raise because property tax, we can't do this, we can't do that!' You're going to be inundated with that. They're going to try to get every single person who is connected to local government to be hostile to doing things for taxpayers!" No more property taxes! The ballot amendment will first and foremast benefit primary homesteaders based on property value.

"The bitterest pill to swallow isn’t physical pain. It’s the sudden absence of someone who genuinely wants to listen to you." 💔 ​At 96, Clint Eastwood shattered our comfortable illusions about growing old, refusing to sugarcoat the harsh truth. He brought his trademark grit to a topic most people prefer to avoid, painting a stark, unflinching picture of what happens when a human being approaches a century of existence. ​"The light hurts your eyes, and even breathing can feel like hard work," Eastwood shared. "Your body just doesn't cooperate the way it used to, and every step requires a strategy." ​But the structural decline of the body is merely the surface. The real weight of extreme old age is emotional. ​Once you cross into your nineties, your social landscape undergoes a profound transformation: ​The people who shared your youth, your inside jokes, and your struggles have vanished. ​The circle of familiar faces shrinks to almost nothing. ​The phone stops ringing, and the pace of the days slows to a crawl. ​When the present becomes isolated, the mind seeks refuge in the past. Eastwood explained that navigating through old memories isn't mental weakness—it's a vital search for continuity. ​"You find yourself repeating stories, adding details, not to convince anyone, but just to feel like you’re still connected to something," Eastwood admitted. "You try to pass things down to the younger generation, even when you can see the boredom in their eyes." ​We live in a culture that treats longevity like a trophy, while totally ignoring the crushing loneliness that accompanies that survival. We praise the shiny, the fast, and the hyper-connected, leaving no space for the slow rhythm of the very old. ​Clint Eastwood may be a cinematic giant, but his words speak for every anonymous 90-year-old sitting at our family dinner tables. They are the living libraries of our history. ​The wrinkles on their faces aren't just signs of aging—they are a beautiful roadmap of a life fully lived. Slow down. Put away the distractions. It is a privilege to sit by their side and just listen. 🕊️✨ ​#ClintEastwood #PerspectiveShift #GrowingOld #WisdomOfAge #HumanConnection #DeepThoughts #LifeLessons #EmpathyMatters #Loneliness #InspirationalQuotes

Howard Marks bought the 50 best companies in America. five years later he was down 90% it was 1969. the "Nifty Fifty" were so good "no price was too high." IBM, Xerox, Coca-Cola. he held. and lost almost everything - in the greatest companies in the country. his lesson: "it's not what you buy, it's what you pay." a great asset priced too high is a bad investment. which is why he says the thing everyone believes is wrong: risk isn't volatility. risk is the probability of losing money - and you can't even measure it after the fact. buy for $1, sell for $2 - was it safe, or did you just get lucky? the riskiest moment is when everyone's sure there's no risk. ~35-min masterclass, free.

Physicist built a supercomputer to predict market crashes. Nassim Taleb told him, to his face, that he can't. Didier Sornette (ETH Zürich) calls the big crashes "dragon kings" - not random black swans, but bubbles that slowly mature toward a breaking point, leaving fingerprints you can read in advance. his lab claims it flagged the 2008 bubble a year before the peak. Taleb's counter is brutal and simple: nudge one parameter in the model and "an event that happens every 5 million years now happens every 600 days." precise crash-timing is a fantasy. his own edge isn't prediction - it's exposure: "it's not whether you guess right. it's how you express the opinion." be convex, be wrong 99% of the time, still win. ~45-min debate, free. dragon kings vs black swans - two legends, one fight ↓

🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump STUNS the "experts" by confirming he made the US $80 BILLION DOLLARS in 8 MONTHS off the Intel deal "I should've asked for MORE!" "That stake is now worth $80 BILLION." "I made $80 billion dollars for the country in 8 months — does anybody talk about it? NO!" 🔥

Elon Musk just asked the question every wealthy member of Congress hopes nobody ever asks out loud. $200,000 salary. $20 million net worth. Nobody has ever had to account for that gap. Musk: “How’d they get $20 million if they’re earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that.” Not one committee. Not one hearing. Not once. Here’s why. The people vote. The bureaucracy decides. Musk: “We really have here rule of the bureaucracy as opposed to rule of the people.” And bureaucracy protects itself. The money leaves the Treasury and lands in a nonprofit built the year before. Musk: “If you have a government-funded nongovernmental organization, you’re simply a government-funded organization.” Then it crosses a border. It moves through NGOs, other countries, other currencies. Musk: “NGOs are a way to do things that would be illegal if they were the government, but are somehow made legal if it’s sent to a so-called nonprofit.” A human tracing that chain gives up around the hundredth transfer. A machine doesn’t stop at one hundred. Or one hundred thousand. The Pentagon has failed every financial audit since 2018. Eight years straight. The budget went up anyway. Bureaucracy doesn’t get punished. It gets funded again. Musk: “Normally, the bureaucracy eats revolutions for breakfast. This is the first time the revolution might actually succeed.” Not because Washington got honest. Because something showed up that doesn’t get tired, doesn’t get paid off, and doesn’t stop counting. Complexity was never a hiding place. It just hadn’t been read yet.

🚨 JUST IN: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas FUMES at the majority upholding birthright citizenship for illegals — saying the 14th Amendment was CLEARLY made for “FREED SLAVES” It’s exactly what President Trump said. Thomas says the constitution does NOT support birthright citizenship for these foreign invaders. NAILED IT. He previously destroyed the lie of progressivism, which has infiltrated our system to facilitate this invasion 👇

ALITO'S DISSENT ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS IS A MASTERPIECE AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT While the mainstream media is busy celebrating today's ruling, four justices stood in the breach and said what every honest American already knows. Alito's dissent in Watson v. RNC is not just a legal argument. It is a warning shot about where this country is headed if we do not get serious about election integrity. Read these words carefully. Alito wrote that when thousands of absentee ballots flow in after Election Day and potentially flip the result of an election, charges of a rigged election explode. That is a sitting Supreme Court Justice, in an official dissent, validating what the corporate media has spent four years calling a conspiracy theory. He went further. Alito cited research showing that drawn-out ballot counting produces a large and significant decrease in Americans' trust in elections. Not a talking point. Not a campaign slogan. Peer reviewed research cited in a Supreme Court dissent. The problem is real, it is documented, and five justices just decided to ignore it. On fraud, Alito was surgical. He pointed out that as far back as 2005, a commission chaired by Jimmy Carter and James Baker concluded that absentee voting was the largest source of potential voter fraud in American elections. Jimmy Carter. The left canonizes that man. His own commission said mail-in ballots are the biggest fraud vulnerability we have. And today's majority just threw the door open wider. Then Alito did something remarkable. He painted a picture of exactly what this ruling could produce. A close presidential election. One state still counting. The leading candidate watching his margin shrink day after day as new batches of mail-in ballots arrive. The lead flipping with days to spare before electors must cast their votes. He was not writing fiction. He was describing something we have already watched happen in slow motion in race after race since 2020. He also torched the majority's logic directly. Barrett and Roberts argued that the word election in federal law only governs when voters CAST their ballots, not when officials RECEIVE them. Alito called this what it is. The electorate's choice is not complete, he argued, until all the ballots have been collected and the decision is fixed. A ballot sitting in a mail truck three days after Election Day is not a completed act of voting. It is an open question. And open questions are where fraud lives. He also raised something nobody else is talking about. What is the limiting principle here? If states can accept ballots five days late, can they accept them twenty-one days late? Washington State already does. Can a state eliminate receipt deadlines entirely? Alito asked that question directly and the majority gave no answer. They opened a door and refused to say how far it swings. Thomas and Gorsuch stood with Alito completely. Kavanaugh joined most of it. And Barrett, the justice we were told would hold the line, wrote the opinion that Alito was dissenting against. History will not be kind to this decision. But it may be very kind to this dissent. The greatest dissents in Supreme Court history are often the ones that turn out to be right. Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch put it on the record today. The question is what we do with it.

$ASTS / $RKLB / $PL: For those of you wondering what is happening to the space sector as a whole and why the sudden downturn…🤔 Blame the $SPCX IPO. A big reason is due to not being able to hedge through options if you hold restricted SpaceX shares. “Restricted Shares” (Pre-IPO & Employee Equity) - If the shares were acquired pre-IPO and are subject to an IPO lock-up agreement, there are strict limitations.  Hedging is prohibited: Standard lock-up agreements don't just prevent you from selling the stock outright; they expressly forbid hedging it. This means writing covered calls, buying protective puts, or entering into collar strategies against those specific locked-up shares is a violation of the contract. Staggered Expirations: SpaceX is using a unique, phased lock-up structure rather than the traditional 180-day cliff. Restrictions will lift in tranches over the next year, with early releases tied to upcoming quarterly earnings and specific stock price targets.  Post-Expiry Freedom: As each specific block of shares passes its lock-up expiry date, the restrictive covenants lift. You can then write options against those newly freed shares just like any open-market investor. SpaceX (SPCX) is utilizing a staggered lock-up structure rather than a traditional 180-day cliff to prevent a massive supply overhang from hitting the market all at once.  Here is the exact expiration schedule and the price targets required for early release, as detailed in the company's final prospectus for the June 12 IPO: Post Q2 Earnings: Base Release (20%): The first major supply event unlocks 20% of the 180-day block on the second full trading day after Q2 earnings are published (expected between August and early September). Price Trigger Target (10%): An additional 10% unlocks only if SPCX closes at least 30% above its $135 IPO price—meaning $175.50 or higher—for at least 5 of the 10 trading sessions at that time. (Note: Previous price spikes, such as the initial mid-June rally, do not count toward this trigger). Rolling Unlocks: To prevent a sudden supply shock, additional 7% tranches are scheduled to unlock periodically every two to four weeks (e.g., around August 21 and September 10) to create a steady supply drip. Standard 180-Day Expiry: The standard lock-up period fully concludes. All remaining non-Musk and non-extended-investor shares in the 4.6 billion-share pool become freely tradable. Core Insider Unlock: Exactly 366 days post-IPO, extended investor blocks and Elon Musk's 6.4 billion shares finally unlock. There is no early-release provision or price trigger for this final tranche. The Supply Overhang: The 180-day block contains roughly 4.6 billion shares. For context, only 555.6 million shares were sold during the IPO, meaning the active market float will increase drastically as these specific windows open. So once these IPO lockups expiry, so will the hedging restrictions on them. Right now, the rest of the space sector is being used as a hedge proxy against investors who are long $SPCX. This is why recent good news on specific space names have resulted in little to no rally. In time, this trade will unwind. Stay focused and DCA the strongest names! 😎

That is completely nuts. Our entire country is being stolen. When can we start hanging the politicians who did this for treason? Find a rope!
44% of rent stabilized units in NYC are occupied by people born outside of the US… American-born citizens are subsidizing the foreign-born to live in our financial capital, while driving up prices of the remaining supply.
