Jill Bidenās New Book FLOPPED Hard after Selling Just 20k Copies in 2 Weeks
Your husband got 81 million votes and you only manage to sell 20k copies.
Somehow, NYT ranks you #1 on bestseller list.
This perfectly encapsulates the Democrat Party today:
Whether itās your delusional book or your horrific policiesā¦
NOBODY IS BUYING WHAT YOUāRE SELLING!

bro immigrated from Mexico and took a $28/hr contract welding job in 2015.
didn't even know what SpaceX was.
they gave him $10,000 in stock and let him buy more through payroll deductions.
that stake is now worth $880,000.
and he's one of 4,400 employees who became millionaires on Friday. welders. technicians. cafeteria staff.

Never forget - the D party doesnāt want the welders, cafeteria staff and regular workers to become rich.
They want them on welfare. They want their vote, not their success.
A welder took a $28 an hour job in 2015 at a company he had never heard of.
On Friday, Juan Hernandez became a millionaire.
He spent ten years building the structures that lifted rockets onto the launch pad. SpaceX paid him partly in stock, the way it paid its cooks, machinists, technicians and cafeteria staff, equity instead of bigger salaries. His $10,000 grant grew into $880,000 at the IPO price. The first day pop carried it past a million. He is 42, an immigrant from Mexico, married, three kids. He says he is keeping the job.
He is not the outlier. He is the pattern.
4,400 current and former SpaceX employees became millionaires on Friday. One in five people who ever badged into the company. About 400 of them are walking away with $100 million or more. One employee took every cash bonus in stock instead of money. He is sitting on 50,000 shares, worth more than $8 million at Friday's prices.
And then there is the other side of the cafeteria.
Some employees sold their shares years ago, certain the company would never go public because Musk said he hated public markets. A few traded their stock for restaurant gift cards. The New York Times says they are consumed by regret. Same grant, same building, same years. One group held the claim. The other ate it.
None of the winners can touch the money yet. The first selling window opens after the August earnings report, and the rest unlocks in waves through December.
Underneath all of it sits the only lesson the market ever teaches. The welder and the gift card came from the same place. The difference was never the work. It was the ownership. Salary pays for the month. Equity pays for the era.
A cook in Brownsville just answered the question every buyer of SPCX is asking at $170: what is a claim on this company actually worth?
The piece prices that exact question at $2.2 trillion.

I think not supporting voter ID at this point is a pretty clear indication you donāt want fair elections, and we need to stop treating people who donāt want fair elections like they have a simple difference of opinion. freedom has been a relatively brief experiment. itās at risk.

Iām not a big election fraud guy - but the 24,000 ballot drop showing Spencer Pratt didnāt receive a single vote, is just not realistically possible. Irreducible error rate is even more prevalent when functional literacy of LA is 50%.

Worth noting that since Donald Trump & Marco Rubio shut the USAID program down not a single country in Latin America has voted for a Leftist leader again.
Makes you wonder, doesnāt it?

They tried to bully Jaxson Dart into submission in the same way they did to Drew Brees and countless others.
But, they've failed.
And they've turned Jaxson into a rockstar who is more famous and more loved than he ever could've imagined.
This is about more than football.
This is about the very heart and soul of this country and letting them know they will never ever pressure into silence ever again.
