Find this man. Find him and I will personally fundraise for him.

If you only have 3 minutes to watch Joe Rogan’s podcast today, this is the 3 minutes you need to see.
Jordan Peterson just described “gender-affirming care” in a way no one else would dare.
“I've never seen anything worse than what's happening right now. And that includes the sorts of things that were done in the camps in Germany. At least the goddamn Naz*s admitted what they did was wrong. They tried to hide it. We trumpet it as a moral virtue.”
“These surgical procedures are so brutal and so experimental that they're—I'm going to say it again—they're worse than what the Mengele types did in the concentration camps in the thirties and forties. And that's a pretty goddamn low bar.”

Tesla FSD's Superhuman Reaction Time!
As soon as the Rivian in front of my Model Y Performance moves to the side and FSD camera sees few pixels of the accident scene way ahead, the vehicle changes lanes before I could realize what was going on.
FSD made the right decision even before I was able to react and it already had made lane changes perfectly to avoid the 3-vehicle accident on the highway.

Tesla Self-Driving Ultimate Torture Test in Toronto!
My Model Y Performance drove me around for about ~3 hours in Toronto during afternoon hours until sunset.
• Vaughan to Danforth Ave. (Greek town) - Square Boy Restaurant (highly recommend this spot). Tight parking lot
• Greek Town to Downtown Core random places added by Grok with voice commands
• Queen St. West. Dundas Square, Yonge and Bloor, Kensington Market & Chinatown. *Night time*
This video should give you a good idea of what it is like for FSD to drive in Toronto, Canada. This is the final boss level difficulty for Tesla SI team in terms of North America!
Must-see Highlights but you gotta see the whole thing at 2x speed:
2:00 3-Vehicle Accident on Highway
4:00 Busiest Highway in North America
8:25 Weaving thru broken vehicles blocking the road
15:30 Sunset into Downtown Toronto
18:20 Yonge St. nighttime
The entire drive is recorded and I had to speed it up 5x to make it into a reasonable size for the video upload.
SO MANY highlights to see. I will have to clip them out at original speed with voice over to explain the super human level driving of Tesla's FSD
Thank you @elonmusk & Tesla team for FSD!

Liberal Richard from Syracuse here was walking past a Tundra truck in a Winn Dixie parking lot in Stock Island FL and didn’t like the let’s go Brandon sticker on it so he keyed it. Bad news for Richard it was all caught on video, and the owner is pressing charges.
Here is the cop confronting, and arresting him.
Apparently, he did about $6000 worth of damage which makes it a felony.
Sometimes they do get caught and it’s wonderful!
62 year old man should know better. What an A$$!!

Portland’s Royal Sonesta: bought for $108.3M in 2016. Now reportedly sold for $6.83M for 220 rooms—just $31,000 per key. A staggering 93.7% price collapse.
This is what happens when government fails at public safety, downtown disorder spirals, Measure 110’s consequences go unaddressed, and Multnomah County’s mental-health system fails people in crisis.
Tourism doesn’t thrive where visitors feel unsafe and downtown businesses struggle to survive.
Portland didn’t get here by accident. Policy choices have consequences—and taxpayers, workers, businesses, and property owners are paying the price.

This woman is an assistant principal. 😳
You are crazy if you relax around these animals.
Never let your guard down.
Always pack.
Give yourself about ten yards of distance at all times.
Stay ready.

Minnesota appeals court revives $7.2M Medicaid fraud conviction a Dem-appointed judge threw out trib.al/VZmyRtQ
The 2026 NFL has 32 placekickers and ZERO Black players. The 2026 NFL has 32 punters and 1 Black player, Corliss Leendert Waitman, who is Dutch-American, not African American.
According to advocates of "any racial disparity proves racial discrimination," the NFL must be systemically racist, anti-Black, and guilty of white supremacy.

Downtown Minneapolis just took a MASSIVE hit...
The Royal Sonesta, an upscale 360 room hotel, just sold for just $5M - a BRUTAL 93% 'discount' from its $75M purchase price in 2018
That's just ~$14K per room, down from ~$208K just 8 years ago...
Here's the interesting part:
The location is genuinely prime by downtown Minneapolis standards
It's an upscale, 4-star property in the HEART of DT Minneapolis, steps from Nicollet Mall and connected to the city's skyway system
It's genuinely WILD seeing hotels like this being sold at 90%+ discounts, even knowing what's driving these sales...
What does the future hold for Minneapolis?
Stay tuned and follow for more commercial real estate deals trading at massive discounts

We received an HSI memo from inside the administration revealing federal agents spent 8 months building a case on Ilhan "Omar" before ever knocking on her door.
The leaked document requests her complete, unredacted passport history, targets potential federal violations for false passport statements and false claims of U.S. citizenship, and explicitly raises the prospect of civil denaturalization!
That paper trail explains why two dozen federal agents walked out of her home with her phone, files, and her DNA, and why those grand jury subpoenas went out to her family.
Now, is she going to be convicted, stripped of her citizenship, and deported? Proving this in a courtroom is still a major hill to climb. But if federal law enforcement actually has the receipts to back this memo up... OHHHHH BOY.
