This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Why does everyone forget that Hillary WON the popular vote?

That alone tells you that the American people are ready for a woman President. So enough debate and defeatism on gender re Presidency. Let's do move on.

What needs to be abolished is the electoral college.

As per midterms... can't wait.

Recall a meeting at NYU with National Theatre (UK) circa 2016... we told the Brits that a mocap studio would cost $25K.

Now you can grab mocap from a video uploaded to Quick Magic AI then plunk it into Cascadeur for about 2% of that cost. It's mind boggling. #animation #ai

Why Viktor Orban’s Fidesz Party Lost The opposition’s stunning victory offers lessons for U.S. Democrats—and a warning for Trump’s allies.

"As illiberal strongmen have discovered in other contexts... after a while, voters, especially moderates, become exhausted by constant messages of fear, hatred, and vituperation..."

Hatred is never sustainable. End of day, it's self destructive and burns the soul to a crisp. As per fear, people get over it.

Presto! In Chicago, a High-End Magic Palace Appears The entrepreneur Glen Tullman is betting people want to dress up and watch magicians in a luxury setting. Either it will work or $50 million will go poof.

Chicago: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/ar... (gift link)

"The new venue, called The Hand and the Eye, will feature five performance spaces, seven bars, two dining rooms and one wall that, when touched, will seem to have a beating heart."

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.

Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.
