You Had 47 Years of Diplomacy With Iran. Here's What It Got You. Mahsa Amini was 22 years old. Arrested by Iran's morality police because her headscarf was too loose. She died in custody three days later. They beat her to death. Over a piece of fabric. Her death set off the biggest protests Iran had seen in a generation. The regime's answer? Kill them. Over 500 dead. They shot a 16-year-old girl named Nika Shakarami in the street. Then snatched her body and tried to bury her in secret before her family could find her. Amirhesam Khodayarifard was 20 years old. Walked into a protest because his
You Had 47 Years of Diplomacy With Iran. Here's What It Got You. Amirhesam Khodayarifard was 20 years old. Walked into a protest because his country was starving. He was chanting. Peacefully. A plainclothes government agent shot him in the head. His mother went to the morgue. They told her she couldn't open the body bag. She opened it anyway. His organs were missing. He was one of tens of thousands. Jan 8-9 the Islamic Republic of Iran executed the largest massacre of civilians in its modern history. Snipers on rooftops firing into crowds. Targeting heads and chests. Dragging protesters into p
Kill the filibuster. I actually believed in it. It forced compromise. In theory, it's one of the best features of American government. But the institution destroyed itself. Congress has a 15% approval rating. The government has been in gridlock for decades. Both sides would rather score points than solve a single problem. And we're supposed to protect the rules? One party already broke them. In 2013, Dem. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster for judicial nominees. He opened the floodgates. First mover. Four years later, McConnell retaliated by expanding it to the Supreme Court nomination process.
How to legally insider trade 101: Join Congress You wake up at 5am. You put on a hard hat or a badge or scrubs. You drive to a job that doesn't care if you slept. You do it again tomorrow. You've been putting $100 a month into your 401k since you were 26. You don't pick stocks. You buy an index fund because that's what they told you to do. You get 8% a year if you're lucky. That's the deal. That's what regular people get. Some months you check the balance and it's down and you feel it in your chest. That's your kid's college. That's your retirement. That's every time you told your wife

Data Center Moratorium = Delaying the Cure for Cancer About 40% of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

America just won hockey gold for the first time in 46 years. Miracle on Ice. We beat the USSR.
Back when we were still proud to be Americans. For the first time in 25 years, starting to see that again. Canada was favored. Didn't matter. You just have to refuse to lose. Jack Hughes took a stick to the face in the third period. Looked down at his teeth on the ice. Mouth full of blood. Didn't go to the locker room. Didn't flinch. 101 seconds into overtime, he buried the golden goal. Toothless, bleeding, and smiling. His brother Quinn won the quarterfinal in OT. Their mother Ellen coac
America just won hockey gold for the first time in 46 years. Last time? Miracle on Ice. We beat the USSR.

You’re dating a girl. She asks if you live with your parents. You do. But your parents have a 12-acre estate. 13,000 sq ft house. Private chef. Driver. Maid. You’re not “living at home.” You’re living on a compound. The Waltons live together. The Ambanis live together. Royal families live together. It’s only broke culture that convinced you a $2,000/month apartment alone is more impressive than building generational wealth under one roof. The red flag was never living with your parents. The red flag is being too proud to build with your family. So what do you tell her?
You don’t have to be the favorite. You just have to refuse to lose. That’s the American Dream. Gold is home after 46 years. Minnesota is home to hockey.
The Democratic Party Has Become Anti-American Prosperity Bernie Sanders says billionaires shouldn't exist. Ro Khanna, Silicon Valley's own congressman, just backed a wealth tax on unrealized gains. When the founders said they'd leave, he quoted FDR: "I will miss them very much." Here's what nobody in the Democratic Party can answer: "What is your plan for American prosperity?" Not redistribution. Not fairness. Prosperity. Growth. Building things. They can't answer it. They don't even try. That's why Silicon Valley walked away from them. The numbers tell you everything. The federal government s
New update on You can now see how much money you'd save if you left NYC. Fine-tuning the underlying data, but directionally right... With a $225K annual salary, if I moved to Miami, FL, I'd save $51,492/yr. Mostly taxes and rent.
NBA sucks today. It’s a joke until the playoffs. Bring back 80/90s physicality. Get rid of dumb fouls and flopping. End the LeBron era of super teams and bring competition. Stop rigging the game.
