Trump sat ringside beside Melania,🚨as fighters whaled on one another inches away inside a cage wrapped in #crypto ads.
The villains who attended the grotesque party incl:🚨#BigTech billionaires M Zuckerberg & D Ellison, & Sen Ldr Thune & Sen Cruz. The Secs of state, comm & #DHS were there. So was the VP, the FBI dir & K Leavitt. Kid Rock showed up +R Clemens & R Kraft. J Dolan, the owner of the NY Knicks, walked up to Trump to pay his respects.

"President Donald Trump, who once declared he had 'saved' flavored vapes, grew his stock holdings this year to as much as $1.64 million in tobacco giant Philip Morris.
He also had holdings in Altria and a third leading tobacco company, though an apparent discrepancy in his disclosures clouds the extent of his investments."

The nice thing about science is that it doesn't require belief or positive opinion. Scientific truth is demonstrable. https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/mlo.html Born at 314ppm. #CO2 #climate #ClimateChange #Collapse2040 #Methane (#CH₄) is a also a potent #GreenhouseGas which, in my view, makes so-called 'natural gas' dirtier than coal.

"Risking little of their own money, the US president and his sons have added at least $2.3 billion to the family fortune from their main crypto ventures, while the investors they've wooed have taken a $2.3 billion hit, a Reuters examination found."

Mother Jones | Trump Has Been Investing in Companies and Then Pumping Them in His Speeches by Judd Legum
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
On March 11, 2026 President Trump toured Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Ohio manufacturing plant, loudly praising the company and urging other pharma firms to “on‑shore” production there, while the same day he bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock—a purchase he did not disclose publicly until mid‑May; Federal filings show he had already purchased up to $215,000 of the company’s shares in the weeks preceding the visit, and that day he also bought sizable amounts of Apple, Micron and Dell stock, later promoting those firms in speeches and on TV. The disclosures reveal a pattern of Trump’s frequent, often “unsolicited,” stock trades that coincided with public endorsements, raising accusations of financial self‑dealing and prompting calls from lawmakers for legislation to bar members of Congress, the president and vice‑president from trading individual securities.

Describe myself? Why? Who I believe I am is irrelevant to who you’re going to believe me to be. I can tell you that, as a straight man, I support women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and trans rights. I can tell you that, as a multi-racial, multi-ethnic individual, I believe Asian lives matter, Black lives matter, and that your life matters too. I can tell you that I oppose genocide and believe in a free and independent Israel, Palestine, and Gaza, and that everyone has the right to exist. I can also tell you that I believe in one Taiwan and one China, both as their own independent and free nations. But you know what I can’t do? Grow a silver tongue and convince you better than the trolls who presume they know everything. So believe whatever you wish. I am me regardless of anyone else.

Congress House Speaker Mike Johnson says we should have sympathy because Congress isn’t paid enough — so we should “allow” insider trading just so they can take care of their families.
Fuck you, Mike Johnson, and every so-called “public servant” who thinks public service is a get-rich-quick scheme.

Mother Jones | The President May Settle His Own Lawsuit With Your Money by Sophie Hurwitz
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The DOJ is reportedly weighing a settlement of Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS that could channel roughly $10 billion of taxpayer money into Trump’s personal coffers; the suit, filed by Trump and his sons in January, alleges the IRS failed to halt a contractor’s illegal release of his tax returns, raising conflict‑of‑interest concerns because Trump oversees the agency he is suing and the Justice Department is led by his former personal lawyer. A potential agreement would also require the IRS to drop all current and future audits of Trump, his family and businesses, prompting Democratic lawmakers to introduce legislation barring the president, vice president and their relatives from receiving government settlement payments, a move championed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren. This follows a prior effort by Trump in October 2025 to seek $230 million from the Justice Department over the seizure of classified documents and an earlier Russia‑probe investigation, which he summed up as “awfully strange…to make a decision where I’m paying myself.”

Ukraine corruption probe escalates. Zelensky's ex-chief of staff Andriy Yermak appears in court as NABU/SAP charge him in a $10.5M money-laundering scheme — part of "Operation Midas", a wider $100M embezzlement case in the nuclear sector. Ex-PM Chernyshov charged, ex-Energy Minister Haluschenko detained, businessman Mindich fled to Israel. Six more suspects to come. Six months from EU accession review.

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | Zelenskyy's ex-chief of staff a suspect in a money-laundering probe, Ukraine officials say by Hanna Arhirova, Associated Press
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Ukraine’s anti‑corruption agencies have named former presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak as an official suspect in a 460‑million‑hryvnia (about $10.5 million) money‑laundering scheme, though he has not yet been formally charged and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is said to be uninvolved. The investigation, which also implicates other senior officials and a prominent businessman and touches the energy, defence and drone‑procurement sectors, is a political blow to Zelenskyy as Kyiv pursues EU membership. Yermak’s lawyer called the allegations groundless, while Zelenskyy, after meeting Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp, highlighted ongoing U.S.‑Ukrainian defence cooperation and AI initiatives. Meanwhile, Russia resumed large‑scale drone strikes on Ukraine following the end of a brief U.S.‑brokered ceasefire, prompting Kyiv to seek an extension of the pause in hostilities.

"Why are such political donations permitted at all? And if they are, why are they not treated as automatically setting up a conflict of interest? No MP and no party accepting a donation from, for instance, a developer should be allowed to speak or vote on any planning issue.
Pharmaceuticals or private medicine? No say on the NHS. Fossil fuel companies? No say over energy policy. As a matter of principle and probity, policy must not be bought and must not appear to be bought. Why is this not law already?"

While all racism is abhorrent , why is the government is only focused on one specific group?
Everyday there are many incidents of racism, some of which quite violent, which the government just ignores.
But here we are with a conference now on just one group focused.
What this tells everyone else is that they don't matter.
