This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America. A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact. It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy: 56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases. More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide. 343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information. That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison. The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once: The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry. Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate. Now look at the individual leaderboard: - Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100 - Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800 different tickers - Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late - Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked. She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO. The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine. The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero. And the cruelest part is this: A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed. But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is. They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing. The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

Check out the “likes” on this stupid post. “Ya, let’s beat someone to death and steal their stuff, that’ll solve all our problems”
in nature if a monkey hoarded 1 trillion bananas the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas

Cute theory, let's play it out. A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last. But... oh wait, there is no pile. It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded. The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it. Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0. The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession. But it gets worse. Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all. Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees. So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked. So the monkeys sit there. No bananas. No rockets. No coordinates to get more banananas. Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer. OH And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

Elon Musk's companies employ roughly 170,000 people. AOC drove Amazon out of New York, killing 40,000 jobs. One creates. The other destroys. They are not the same.

Very well said. How sad…
This shit is disgusting. The jury heard the evidence, including from Black witnesses on the defense side, and still convicted Karmelo Anthony of murder. Instead of dealing with that, the reaction decided the real problem was that Austin Metcalf didn’t know how to properly kiss someone’s ass before he got stabbed. That’s the actual argument being made. A Howard University professor came out and said the father failed to teach his son that Black kids have boundaries and that their space isn’t to be challenged. In other words, the dead kid should have known his place and backed the fuck down. That’s the standard they’re defending after a murder conviction. Not self-defense. Not fear for life. Just “he got too close and didn’t show the right kind of respect.” And when that didn’t fly in court, they lost their fucking minds. Death threats to the family. People talking about shitting on Austin’s grave. Some sick fucks started an “Austin Metcalf challenge” where they mock the way he died. Jasmine Crockett had the balls to say Anthony was justified because he didn’t want to stand in the rain. The rain. That’s where we are now. They’re not mad that a kid got killed. They’re mad that the killer actually had to face consequences for it. They’re furious the old rules still worked long enough for a jury to do its job. This isn’t complicated and it sure as hell isn’t deep. It’s a bunch of people openly arguing that murder is acceptable as long as you can dress it up as some kind of boundary enforcement after the fact. And the second a court said no, they showed exactly who they are. (article below)

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

If Trump had lost, America’s entire 250th 4th of July would be about gay pride, apologizing for a history we shouldn’t be apologizing for… and DEI nonsense.

SCOOP: Meet Susan Dinsmore, a licensed therapist at @SanfordHealth. She allegedly made this post online cheerfully asking if President Trump "is dead yet." We reached out to Sanford Health multiple times for comment but they did not respond. Would you trust this person with your mental health?

When a person can laugh and dance, that gives them a good bit of leeway on the murder front. Charly Manson wasn't much of jovial guy, hence he deserved more time in the clink.
Wow. I thought that it was wrong for him to stab a kid to death but now that I see these videos of Karmelo smiling and stuff I’ve realized that actually he should have been allowed to murder whoever he wanted. I apologize for my error.

Who'd have thought that we would all sink so low as to convict someone of murder just because they murdered someone even though they are black?
“This is not justice, this is trying to make an example!!!” Cardi B coming under fire for her reaction to Karmelo Anthony’s guilty verdict in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf. The rapper is blasting the verdict, arguing it was less about justice and more about making an example out of the defendant. Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder of Metcalf after fatally stabbing him at a high school track meet in April 2025.

California made it illegal to show or request photo ID to vote. You cannot show your photo ID even voluntarily!
OMG US attorney Bill Essayli reveals California lets people register to vote using: -Gym memberships -Employer ID card -Credit or debit card -Prescription drug label -Insurance card California is also BLOCKING a federal audit of voter rolls They aren’t even trying to hide it

Once voting is this fraudulent, they can get whatever outcome they want, making a sham of democracy
Let me get this straight > nearly every major democracy restricts mail in voting > they also require real, government issued ID > mail in votes (with no confirmation of citizenship during registration) switched the CA election > thus election in CA is one of the most insecure processes in the developed world There’s no question that fraud happened. It’s statistically certain The only question is whether CA can vote itself out of this mess, or if it’s already too far gone When is enough enough?

When statistically impossible things happen, we should not be expected as a society to accept them. Evidence of fraud isn’t limited to video surveillance. Statistical impossibilities are hard evidence of fraud.

Marc Andreessen just explained how the United States assassinated its own future. In the 1970s, the Nixon administration launched something called Project Independence. The mandate was absolute. Andreessen: “Build a thousand new civilian nuclear power plants in the US by the year 2000.” One thousand reactors. Unlimited, carbon-free baseload power. Enough electricity to move the entire country to electric vehicles four decades ahead of everyone else. But it went further than energy. Andreessen: “It’s called Project Independence because it means the US won’t have to be involved in the Middle East anymore, because we won’t need the oil.” No oil dependence. No Gulf Wars. No generations of soldiers stationed in deserts protecting supply chains that never needed to exist. A complete strategic withdrawal from the Middle East. Permanent. And none of this was hypothetical. Andreessen: “France ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power. Japan ran for a long time almost entirely on nuclear power.” Other nations proved it worked at scale. America had more capital, more engineers, and more ambition than all of them. Andreessen: “How many nuclear power plants were built out of the thousand? Rounds to zero.” Zero. Not because the physics failed. Not because something superior replaced it. Because the same administration that drafted the blueprint for unlimited energy also created the institution that killed it. Andreessen: “They never got built because the Nixon administration also created the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which made it its purpose in life is to stop nuclear power plants from getting built.” Same government. Same decade. Same pen. One directive launching the most ambitious energy program in American history. Another creating the bureaucracy that would quietly dismantle it from the inside. Andreessen: “The Nuclear Regulatory Commission did not approve a new nuclear plant design for 40 years.” Forty years of zero approved designs. Not because no one submitted them. Because the institution built to regulate nuclear energy became the institution built to prevent it. That’s not oversight. That’s abolition dressed as due diligence. We spent the next fifty years fighting wars in the desert for a resource we never needed. Choked the atmosphere with carbon we didn’t have to burn. Terrified an entire generation with the illusion of scarcity. And the entire time, the physics already worked. The government didn’t fail to navigate the energy crisis. They took the densest source of energy in the universe and drowned it in paperwork. Every war fought for oil. Every carbon debate. Every geopolitical crisis of the last half century. All of it was a policy choice. We didn’t lack the technology to power the future. We let a committee outlaw the math.

False. 27 of 4200 sensors, not anything like the bs these guys sling. OMG what are we going to do with only 99.4% of the data ??
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention. The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean. And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them. Record-breaking temperatures. A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse. The response? Yank out the instruments and walk away. That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency. For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives. The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident. That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first. cnn.com/2026/06/03/climate/o…

Unreal - 27 floats out of 4323 and the Alarmists are in an uproar because DOGE eliminated them. Wow. What can I do with only 99.4% of the data? Sigh.
Even Senators have jumped into the deep end of climate alarmism. They never tell that only 27 out of thousands of oceans sensors are being removed - they are at the 4 red dots. Those sensors were pet projects of the NSF - which was DOGE'd because of massive climate alarmism.
