Promote violence against a murdered family man is very gutter low stuff. These two radical violence promoters deserve to have all their paid and unpaid sponsors cancelled!! They have helped get other cancelled for less. F-around and fund out time.
10PM UPDATE ON THE I'VE HAD IT PODCAST SPONSORS: Here are the brands that continue to sponsor the I've Had It Podcast's hateful rhetoric; the brands that have stopped but who need to make a public facing statement; and the brands who have publicly pulled all support for the show. Email addresses and suggested text/posts are also included. THE BAD GUYS These companies continue to support the I’ve Had It’s podcast campaign of hate and violence. @irestorehair @get_Ethos @livemomentous @Casper @irestorelaser @joinladder @onequince @articlemodern @ASPCAPetIns WRITE THEM AND DEMAND THEY STOP SPONSORING THE PODCAST iRestore Hair: [email protected] Article: [email protected] Quince : [email protected] ASPCA Pet Insurance: aspcapetinsurance.com Ethos: [email protected] Momentus: [email protected] Casper: [email protected] Ladder Life: [email protected] THE EMAIL Subject: Immediate termination of your sponsorship of the I've Had It podcast I am writing to demand that you immediately and permanently pull all advertising from the I've Had It podcast. Your continued sponsorship of this programming is no longer aligned with consumer expectations. Consumers expect the brands they support to maintain clear standards regarding the content they choose to finance. Maintaining advertising agreements with this program signals a disregard for these concerns. Please deactivate all active promotional codes, terminate the advertising agreement, and confirm the cessation of your sponsorship immediately. Until this corrective action is taken, support for your products will be withheld. THE GOODISH GUYS These companies have ceased (or “paused,” in Zenni Optical’s case) all sponsorship of the show. These brands have completely severed operational ties, disabled their custom backend links, and deactivated coupon codes, but are only confirming it when directly asked via customer service . They have yet to make a public statement saying so. @CozyEarth @Ember_Tech @zennioptical WRITE THEM AND TELL THEM TO MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT Cozy Earth: [email protected] Ember Tech: [email protected] Zenni: zennioptical.com THE ASK ON X - DEMAND THESE GROUPED BRANDS OPENLY DENOUNCE THE PODCAST .@CozyEarth @Ember_Tech @zennioptical Deactivating promo codes behind the scenes isn't enough. Hiding your exit in customer service DMs lacks accountability. Stand openly against the I've Had It podcast's rhetoric and issue a clear, public statement today. THE ASK ON INSTA - DEMAND THESE INDIVIDUAL BRANDS OPENLY DENOUNCE THE PODCAST Deactivating your custom landing page and checkout codes behind the scenes is only a first step. Consumers demand full transparency, not quiet backend adjustments. Stop hiding behind individual customer support replies—make a formal, front-facing public declaration confirming you have permanently cut ties with this show. THE GOOD GUYS These companies have ceased all sponsorship of the podcast and made public-facing statements to this effect. @CashApp @BollAndBranch @NoblTravel @lolablankets @ZipRecruiter @GetHoneyLove @Chewy @jonesroadbeauty @Nutrafol @ridgewallet DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!

I know you're new to this, but facts matter. ICE was there to get medical treatment for a detainee who requested to see a doctor. I assume you support federal agents providing medical care to illegal immigrants in custody? These agitators created a dangerous situation for the public and law enforcement. Law enforcement will never back down to thugs, so efforts to intimidate ICE will fail. They called for backup, controlled the scene, and arrested two individuals who assaulted federal agents. As a public official, you should know the applicable laws. Agents are enforcing federal immigration laws passed by Congress. As mayor, you have no say in federal affairs. It's called the Supremacy Clause. I can send you a copy of the U.S. Constitution if you'd like to study up. When you talk about immigrants, please distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. I'm the son of legal immigrants. Our family followed the law, was welcomed with open arms, and is proud to be law-abiding Americans. The two are not the same.
I'm appalled by what took place last night at White Memorial hospital in Boyle Heights, where ICE agents were obstructing emergency room entry and detained two US citizens. I condemn these reckless actions by the Trump administration.

France is a failed state already at this point and will 100% collapse if this nutbar is elected!!
The far-left candidate in next year’s French presidential election Jean-Luc Mélenchon has presented his political platform. The most important proposals are: - Lowered retirement age from 64 to 60 - Increased pensions - Reduced workweek to 32 hours - National health insurance covering 100% of medical costs - Increase housing benefits by 10% - Price control of certain essential products - €1 meals for students - Banning nuclear power Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party is the second-largest party in France after Marine Le Pen’s party and he has a chance of advancing from the first round to the second round of the presidential where he would then off with Marine Le Pen. The winner of the second round becomes President of France.

Amazing thing happening in Haiti!! Tough leader and one of the best leaders in the whole world! Iron fists can crush crime, gangs and dictators. It works.
Le mensonge de l’ONU vient de s’effondrer en une semaine sur Haïti. Pendant 30 ans, l’ONU et la « communauté internationale » ont multiplié les résolutions, les missions (MINUSTAH, MSS, GSF), les rapports, les expertises et les mandats limités. Résultat : les gangs contrôlent 80-90 % de Port-au-Prince, des milliers de morts par an, plus d’un million de déplacés, un État fantôme. La Force de Suppression des Gangs, autorisée par le Conseil de sécurité, a mis plus d’un an à déployer environ 1 500 hommes avec un impact dérisoire. Les gangs ont même réussi à tendre une embuscade à des techniciens salvadoriens sous mandat ONU. Bukele arrive. En une dizaine de jours, il déploie plus de 2 000 soldats salvadoriens davantage que toute la force ONU, hors du carcan bureaucratique et des chaînes de commandement multilatérales. Pas de six mois de négociations, pas de rapports de 200 pages, pas de « respect des droits des gangs ». Juste des soldats, des blindés, des hélicoptères, et une volonté claire. Et soudain, les gangs se cachent. Les habitants sortent dans la rue, crient, célèbrent. Le mot d’ordre est simple : « Se débloque le pays ». Les chefs de gangs appellent l’ONU pour « dialoguer » et demander la médiation. La panique s’installe chez ceux qui terrorisaient le pays depuis des années. Ce n’est pas un miracle. C’est la démonstration que le problème n’a jamais été « trop complexe pour être résolu ». Le problème, c’était le dogme : que seule l’approche multilatérale molle, procédurale, obsédée par les « droits humains » des criminels, pouvait être légitime. Que la souveraineté, la force décisive et les résultats concrets étaient suspects. Bukele a déjà prouvé chez lui qu’on pouvait casser les gangs. Il vient de le montrer en Haïti en une semaine, pendant que l’ONU en parlait depuis trois décennies. Les Haïtiens dans la rue l’ont compris plus vite que les experts de New York et de Genève. La question n’est plus « comment faire ? ». Elle est : combien de temps encore allons-nous prétendre que les processus internationaux qui perpétuent le chaos sont la seule solution possible ? A bon entendeur.

Let me summarize: "We’re sorry our comments are now leading to consequences in the form of losing advertisers. We’re releasing this forced apology in hopes that the advertisers stop fleeing from our show. Please pretend you believe us even though we all know we don’t mean it."
The dumb blonde crones just posted an apology for laughing at the notion of “digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.”

Still make little sense. If the Cyber truck makes money not making more doesn't make sense!! Adding space on the warehouse for the lines they need makes more sense. Tesla killed two of their car versions already. They only make 2 versions if the cars now. Less variety. With the other car makers coming onli e with a lot if electric car models Tesla is leaving billions in sakes on the table. Seems strange!!
Tesla just made two announcements 24 hours apart that tell the entire story of where the company is going. Friday, November 6: Elon Musk announced Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production around mid-2027. The line at Giga Texas the only factory that makes the Cybertruck will be dismantled to make room for increased Cybercab production. Saturday, November 7: Musk posted that the Cybertruck order backlog is “currently far more than we can make before dismantling the line.” Tesla is adding an extra production shift to try to fulfill all orders before the line shuts down. Read those two announcements together: Tesla is killing the Cybertruck production line because demand for the autonomous Cybercab is that important. But the Cybertruck has so many unfilled orders that Tesla needs to add shifts and run the factory harder just to clear the backlog before the line disappears. The truck they’re discontinuing has more orders than they can build. The taxi they’re replacing it with doesn’t have a steering wheel. One product is ending with more demand than supply. The other is beginning with more ambition than any vehicle Tesla has ever built. Here’s what’s happening, why Tesla is making this trade, and what it means for every Cybertruck reservation holder racing against a June 2027 deadline 🧵

An honest man that wants to be president. Sadly doesn't matter what party, too many people doing what Governor DeSantis is taking about not doing....... He will never stay alive long enough get to elected as President!! Both parties with put targets on his back. Sadly.
Governor DeSantis says the NUMBER ONE reason Republicans lost is corruption like Susie Wiles lobbying schemes, insider trading and prediction markets. DeSantis says you are going to find out the extent of it when Democrats start investigating. “Think about it. You show up to Congress. You've never displayed any investment acumen in your life. All of a sudden, you're meeting Warren Buffett with this suspiciously timed trade. Oh! A company that is actually under one of your committee's jurisdictions. That is just something. And then you see all the other things. And you're going to see a lot more in the news, I think, in the next few months. And that's going to be the focal point, probably, of the Democrats' investigations and oversight. But the reality is that was the number one issue that voters thought was important. It was even more important, if you look at the polling, than economy. And that was very high, too. And then it was just general lack of confidence in Republicans beyond that. I get elected to Congress in 2012, sold the stocks. I’ve never traded a stock in elected office. Why? Because I don't want to be in a situation where I do something and then, oh, you did this and you voted this way, you did that. I’ve never done it. I declined the pension as a member of Congress and the health care. In governor, we've increased pay for state employees a bunch of times. I never took it for governor. My salary is the same as it was there. The idea that public service is a way to leverage power to enrich yourself was anathema to what our founders believed. And so I've tried to lead by example with how I behave. But what you're seeing in Washington is clearly not consistent with what our founders believe was necessary to kind of create a foundation for a successful republic. So I think we should ban the congressional stock trading. You should not allow them to be making money on prediction markets. You should not be able to allow the way the lobbyists and everything happens. So there's definitely things that need to be cleaned up. Republicans should be leading this. Weren't we the ones saying, drain the swamp not a few years ago? And yet the Democrats now are able to take that and they're making hay out of it. But that was a big issue. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.”

Tesla Board - this isn’t a good look. ♦️ James Murdoch is a longtime Tesla board member with a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. His Lupa Systems acquired the Vox Media Podcast Network, which distributes Scott Galloway & Kara Swisher’s Pivot podcast. ♦️ Galloway, an NYU Marketing Professor who chooses language deliberately, invoked traitors “lined up against a wall” and said Elon Musk should be treated the same. (Does he mean shot? Sounds like it.) ♦️ A few days later Galloway doubled down, said the words were incendiary, and he would say them again. This is not accidental. He did not misspeak. Tesla board members should have ZERO LINKS to anything that may be construed as a call for violence against the Tesla CEO. (Perpetually identified as a key man risk). One option to clear the conflict is to cancel or sell the podcast. There are other options too. @Tesla @elonmusk @robyndenholm @KathleeWT @IraEhrenpreis @jgebbia @kimbal

Scott Galloway calls Elon Musk a “traitor to the West” and invokes the Rosenbergs, who were EXECUTED after WWII. GALLOWAY: “We took the Rosenbergs and put them up against a wall and executed them for being traitors.” “And I realize this is an incendiary statement, but I’ll make it and I believe it. I think Elon Musk is a traitor to the West.” “If this had happened in any other age where we were not obsessed with innovators and money, a much different reaction would be playing out to Elon Musk.” These people are absolutely unhinged. CONTEXT: Scott Galloway is not some random but a bestselling author with a top podcast who regularly appears on cable news. His net worth is over $100 million, and he’s openly suggesting Musk deserves death. This is what the Democratic Party has become, and people voted for it.

Sad to say @profgalloway is an investor in Boom. I don't mind disagreements but calling for an execution of a non-criminal (worse, an actual hero!) is a step too far. Working to arrange a buy-out of his shares.

Maybe they could have survived by reporting the truth instead of publishing and refusing to correct disinformation fabricated by political operatives. Probably not, but maybe!

Good news!! @scoopercooper has spent years of his career tracking Terrorists and criminal groups operating financial scams, and the political voting and financing schemes. The Liberals under Trudeau did nothing to stop it and many other questionable things. He'll his own foundation was getting questionable funding sources. Way to close to communist connected people and groups. If it takes the USA's iron first to help crush this, than BRING IT ON!!!
🇺🇸 Washington just went after Iran’s money in 🇨🇦 Canada. The US Treasury sanctioned 8 money services firms in Ontario and British Columbia, which it says moved money for sanctioned Iranian entities. They’re now cut off from the dollar system. “Canada cannot be a safe haven,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The same day, FinCEN cut off crypto exchange MEXC Global from US banks. It says MEXC handled at least $ 16bn of illicit transactions linked to Iran, North Korea and Russia. It’s the money side of the blockade. Iran’s oil exports are already close to zero under the US Navy. Now Washington is closing the channels that move what’s left of its cash. The timing is awkward for Ottawa. Carney is negotiating a trade deal with Trump and the sanctions land in Canada’s own exchange shops.
