An honest man that wants to be president. Sadly doesn't matter what party, too many people doing what Governor DeSantis is taking about not doing....... He will never stay alive long enough get to elected as President!! Both parties with put targets on his back. Sadly.
Governor DeSantis says the NUMBER ONE reason Republicans lost is corruption like Susie Wiles lobbying schemes, insider trading and prediction markets. DeSantis says you are going to find out the extent of it when Democrats start investigating. “Think about it. You show up to Congress. You've never displayed any investment acumen in your life. All of a sudden, you're meeting Warren Buffett with this suspiciously timed trade. Oh! A company that is actually under one of your committee's jurisdictions. That is just something. And then you see all the other things. And you're going to see a lot more in the news, I think, in the next few months. And that's going to be the focal point, probably, of the Democrats' investigations and oversight. But the reality is that was the number one issue that voters thought was important. It was even more important, if you look at the polling, than economy. And that was very high, too. And then it was just general lack of confidence in Republicans beyond that. I get elected to Congress in 2012, sold the stocks. I’ve never traded a stock in elected office. Why? Because I don't want to be in a situation where I do something and then, oh, you did this and you voted this way, you did that. I’ve never done it. I declined the pension as a member of Congress and the health care. In governor, we've increased pay for state employees a bunch of times. I never took it for governor. My salary is the same as it was there. The idea that public service is a way to leverage power to enrich yourself was anathema to what our founders believed. And so I've tried to lead by example with how I behave. But what you're seeing in Washington is clearly not consistent with what our founders believe was necessary to kind of create a foundation for a successful republic. So I think we should ban the congressional stock trading. You should not allow them to be making money on prediction markets. You should not be able to allow the way the lobbyists and everything happens. So there's definitely things that need to be cleaned up. Republicans should be leading this. Weren't we the ones saying, drain the swamp not a few years ago? And yet the Democrats now are able to take that and they're making hay out of it. But that was a big issue. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.”

Tesla Board - this isn’t a good look. ♦️ James Murdoch is a longtime Tesla board member with a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. His Lupa Systems acquired the Vox Media Podcast Network, which distributes Scott Galloway & Kara Swisher’s Pivot podcast. ♦️ Galloway, an NYU Marketing Professor who chooses language deliberately, invoked traitors “lined up against a wall” and said Elon Musk should be treated the same. (Does he mean shot? Sounds like it.) ♦️ A few days later Galloway doubled down, said the words were incendiary, and he would say them again. This is not accidental. He did not misspeak. Tesla board members should have ZERO LINKS to anything that may be construed as a call for violence against the Tesla CEO. (Perpetually identified as a key man risk). One option to clear the conflict is to cancel or sell the podcast. There are other options too. @Tesla @elonmusk @robyndenholm @KathleeWT @IraEhrenpreis @jgebbia @kimbal

.@profgalloway of @ProfGMarkets, @PivotPod, @voxdotcom and @NYMag is doubling down: he wants Elon executed. There is no justification for calling for murder in civil society. You support this @Bankoff?
Scott Galloway calls Elon Musk a “traitor to the West” and invokes the Rosenbergs, who were EXECUTED after WWII. GALLOWAY: “We took the Rosenbergs and put them up against a wall and executed them for being traitors.” “And I realize this is an incendiary statement, but I’ll make it and I believe it. I think Elon Musk is a traitor to the West.” “If this had happened in any other age where we were not obsessed with innovators and money, a much different reaction would be playing out to Elon Musk.” These people are absolutely unhinged. CONTEXT: Scott Galloway is not some random but a bestselling author with a top podcast who regularly appears on cable news. His net worth is over $100 million, and he’s openly suggesting Musk deserves death. This is what the Democratic Party has become, and people voted for it.

Sad to say @profgalloway is an investor in Boom. I don't mind disagreements but calling for an execution of a non-criminal (worse, an actual hero!) is a step too far. Working to arrange a buy-out of his shares.

Maybe they could have survived by reporting the truth instead of publishing and refusing to correct disinformation fabricated by political operatives. Probably not, but maybe!

Good news!! @scoopercooper has spent years of his career tracking Terrorists and criminal groups operating financial scams, and the political voting and financing schemes. The Liberals under Trudeau did nothing to stop it and many other questionable things. He'll his own foundation was getting questionable funding sources. Way to close to communist connected people and groups. If it takes the USA's iron first to help crush this, than BRING IT ON!!!
🇺🇸 Washington just went after Iran’s money in 🇨🇦 Canada. The US Treasury sanctioned 8 money services firms in Ontario and British Columbia, which it says moved money for sanctioned Iranian entities. They’re now cut off from the dollar system. “Canada cannot be a safe haven,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The same day, FinCEN cut off crypto exchange MEXC Global from US banks. It says MEXC handled at least $ 16bn of illicit transactions linked to Iran, North Korea and Russia. It’s the money side of the blockade. Iran’s oil exports are already close to zero under the US Navy. Now Washington is closing the channels that move what’s left of its cash. The timing is awkward for Ottawa. Carney is negotiating a trade deal with Trump and the sanctions land in Canada’s own exchange shops.

T&T is a huge hit in the USA! The once BC family founded and owned is now owned by Loblaws who are now expanding into the USA is very popular with locals! Hard to believe San Fransisco with its massive Asian population did not have a successful Supermarket already! People standing for hours to just get inside to shop.

Armies that win have the general at the front lines. Nobody wants to bleed for the prince in the palace.
Ron Baron asked Elon Musk how many CEOs live on site in an Airstream and work hands-on with everyone. MUSK: “Airstreams are actually pretty nice... It’s parked right next to the power plant.” “We built this power plant that’s producing over a gigawatt... in about a year, as opposed to normally about five years.” “There is no upstairs.” He walks the entire site up to five times a day. He’s pulled power cables “the size of an anaconda,” run fiber, wired switches, and worked on the power plant software. “I try to do at least a little bit of everything, so that I’m not numb to the pain of the people who are actually doing it.” “It’s not as though I’m sitting in an office and somebody has to come to me. I’m walking the floor, asking them questions actively.” There’s a reason SpaceX is winning the compute race.

🚨🚨 DEMOCRACY FILES / THE ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 15: HEGSETH'S IMPEACHMENT IS THE TROJAN HORSE. TRUMP IS THE REAL TARGET. 🚨 There is one fundamental principle of American military command: Our military answers to civilian authority. And at the top of the chain of commands sits the President of the United States. In other words, Pete Hegseth answers to President Donald Trump. Pete Hegseth's articles of impeachments are that he is following unlawful orders issued by President Trump himself. Senator Mark Kelly, the ringleader of the Seditious Six, says this explicitly. According to Kelly, six of the eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth concern his alleged compliance with illegal orders from President Trump. Read that again. Six of eight articles are premised on that President Trump himself issued illegal orders. Ask yourself this question: If Hegseth needs impeachment for following Trump's alleged unlawful orders... ... What does that imply about President Trump himself? Exactly. The goal of removing Hegseth has always been to remove Trump from office. Hegseth is the opening move. His entire downstream chain of command will be next. This will be a single-handed turnover of the entire military structure, remade in the image of those who have been plotting against Trump all along. Then the ultimate target: President Trump himself. When I told you Hegseth was the only obstacle in a coup, I meant it. Don't take my word for it. Watch them, in their own words:

Elon Musk: "Even if I'm criticized by the whole world, I won't let go of X." The reason makes you think. Reporter: "Why are you so attached to X?" Elon: "What do you mean by that?" Reporter: "Since the acquisition, it's been nothing but criticism, right?" Elon: "That's true." Reporter: "Politicians criticize you too." Elon: "Yes." Reporter: "There are conflicts with regulatory authorities." Elon: "That's true." Reporter: "Honestly, wouldn't it be easier to sell it?" Elon: "Why?" Reporter: "You have Tesla and SpaceX, don't you?" Elon: "I do." Reporter: "There's no need to stay in the center of controversies, right?" Elon: "But what would that solve?" Reporter: "...... Huh?" Elon: "I think it's important to have a place where opinions can be exchanged freely." Reporter: "But there are unpleasant opinions too, aren't there?" Elon: "Of course." Reporter: "There are wrong opinions too." Elon: "That's true." Reporter: "So, shouldn't there be restrictions?" Elon: "How far to restrict?" Reporter: "That's..." Elon: "Who decides which opinions are correct?" Reporter: "..." Elon: "It's easy to protect only the opinions we agree with." Reporter: "Yes." Elon: "But what about when contrary opinions arise?" Reporter: "..." Elon: "That's where the real test of free speech happens, don't you think?"
