Brian Lenney takes over for Scott Herndon, thinking he doesn’t answer to his voters. Remember what happened when Herndon told those who questioned him to shut up because they are not a Senator?
This is the worst kind of religious bigotry. Don’t lat anyone tell you they are a Christian. You should see it in their actions. This is not Christ-like. This is hate.

MAGA says Ilhan Omar isn’t using her real name.
Melania Trump was born Melanija Knavs.
Ted Cruz was born Rafael Edward Cruz.
JD Vance was born James Donald Bowman.
Nikki Haley was born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa.
Mike Johnson’s real first name is James.
Rand Paul is Randal Paul.
Newt Gingrich was born Newton Leroy McPherson.
But suddenly MAGA wants a congressional investigation into names?
Here you go, @1ChartMaster . A 30 minute pivot for $BE today, but that line at the bottom is a 5 touch trendline over the last 15 months, and this day had 3X the average volume. $BE is below the 200 day, but I think this trade has a lot going for it in terms of r/r. Already did a trim and stop at B/E.
Great explainer here about Coreweave and AI investing risk in general. Thought you might pass it along to those asking, @epictrades1 . instagram.com/reel/DekSKq5hY…
The wicks on these 30 minute candles are telling a story, and it’s not the usual October tales. Early weekend!

Guys it doesn’t matter the market is at all time highs this market is incredibly difficult.
There’s people on here I know are good traders and I respected that haven’t shared a single struggle they just post about all their working trades in hindsight.
Anybody who says it’s not difficult is a flat out liar I’ve lost respect for quite a few accounts on here.

The worrying part to me is that Trump is most likely looking at the $QQQ $SPY and maybe $DJI $IWM
If that’s the case there might be a fully wrong understanding of how bad the situation actually is for markets as a whole.
The average individual stock holder is in massive pain and has been for a while.
The AI trade is holding the markets up with nothing underneath.
The rubber band is ready to snap back with the entire market if an end to the war is found, that said if there is no urgency through a misunderstanding of markets through a sole focus on indices, then the bond market flashing red lights will be ignored and there is a real chance the rubber band breaks and we get a true recession/slowdown.
This will be blamed on democrats as always but make no mistake, this was fully because of the Iran war directly through Oil prices and more precisely because of what allies now have to do to stabilize the impact like Japan.
Another extreme reading on the NYSI, and it's still falling.
Breadth is now more oversold than at the April 2026 bottom and the April 2025 low, and it's closing in on October 2023 levels.
It's not far from the 2022 bear market lows either.
For context, here's how far the S&P 500 fell in each of those periods:
April 2026: -9%
April 2025: -20%
October 2023: -10%

Letting the masses vote on issues that impact them… which party doesn’t want this? They are confident that they know better than the peasants and trickle down is awesome! Scared of their constituents, and sure as hell don’t want to listen to them, hence all of the town halls!
This year, Montana voters will consider a ballot initiative on the initiative process itself. Supporters say lawmakers have been making it harder to exercise the right to propose ballot issues. ktvh.com/news/montana-politi… #MTNews #MTPol

Thank you again to News Nation for having me on in light of the new polling numbers, which place me 12 points ahead of my opponent. I have a winnable race here in Idaho.

This President claims a lot of firsts, most are pure bs. But…he wins “the biggest ever, no one has ever seen anything like it” award in one category for sure: treating his voters like absolute idiots.
Trump’s Iran war inching closer to WWIII every minute and this is how Trump spends his time. Y’all are so easily distracted we deserve a president who literally steals our money.

Distinguished Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on Trump's 35-person cabinet:
“Not one of them is trained in technical skills. Not one research PhD, as opposed to China, where half the cabinet is science and technology PhDs. We're led by grifters and fools.”
