The first lien, which Broadcom is supporting in its massive $63BN SPV, the biggest AI deal on record, is about $43.5 billion, or 69% of the total. In other words, more than two-thirds of the biggest AI debt deal on record is effectively guaranteed by the vendor.

They are coming after Bill Essayli for uncovering significant fraud in California, including election fraud showing that illegals are voting, which the state continues to shield.
Now, a Bush-appointed judge from Hawaii has ruled that he is disqualified from his role. The reason is not subtle.
Bill has been one of the most effective attorneys under the Trump administration. He has been a LION who refuses to back down, and that is exactly why this matters.
Congress continues to sit on its hands while activist judges shield the same corrupt system. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. This cannot continue. If we do not start treating judicial overreach like the serious threat it is, we will not have a country left to save.
President Bukele did not play these games. Neither should we.
I am sick and tired of watching this happen while the people entrusted to protect our country continue to do NOTHING.

You have to search sometimes for the rest of the story.
The recipients of these mortgages will be unable to service them. The homes will be foreclosed. But the city will have insured those mortgages.
They will receive the insurance proceeds. Then foreclose, netting these homes for pennies on the dollar. And own the homes. Choking off the housing market, forcing more people into dependency on the city’s new “affordable” rental housing.
And yes- they really are that cynical.

this is f*cking insane...
a guy reverse-engineered his Ray-Ban Meta glasses with Opus 5.5 and turned them into JARVIS for the race track
it reads the track in real time, draws the racing line on the asphalt and tells him when to brake, turn in and counter-steer
his lap: 1:52.4 → 1:47.1. minus 5.3 seconds in one session
here's how it works step by step:
step 1 → the glasses stream what he sees to his phone, 30 frames a second
step 2 → a vision model finds the asphalt, the curbs and the next corner in every frame, even with his head shaking
step 3 → Opus 5.5 plans the racing line: outside → apex → outside, and paints it right on the road
step 4 → green = full throttle. red = braking zone. orange = you're in the corner
step 5 → before every turn: "BRAKE · 80 m", countdown, then "turn in", then "apex"
step 6 → when the rear slides, it shows the drift angle and which way to counter-steer
step 7 → the voice in his ear: "brake… now", "hold the apex", "full throttle"
step 8 → a mini-map in the corner compares his line with the ideal one and shows the lap delta live
under the hood:
→ no cloud, everything runs on the phone
→ if it loses the road, the line fades out instead of lying to you
→ every lap is saved, so it learns where you lose time
F1 teams pay millions for a race engineer. he made one out of sunglasses
REA is pure f*cking treasure right now
it lets your AI agent reverse engineer any app, down to the binary
Opus 5.5 reads how a feature works, then rebuilds its own version from scratch
but one wrong number can pass every check
in this article :
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ray-Ban Meta glasses have no display/AR for road overlays; video is rendered visualization. Poster's follow-up shares hypothetical prompt using ~5 fps video call to computer, not claimed 30 fps on-phone real-time.

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

Putin: I want ordinary citizens of Western countries to hear me.
The truth is that the problems you are facing now are the result of years of actions by the ruling elites of your own countries.

Microsoft was letting Indians access classified government data.
What a disaster.
🚨BREAKING (EXCLUSIVE): National Security Concerns Leaked by MSFT Whistleblower
Leaked Microsoft screenshots show an India-based engineer received approval to view U.S. government cloud logs.
A Microsoft whistleblower contacted me and shared screenshots supporting allegations that Microsoft used its “escort” process to allow an India based engineer to access Government Community Cloud (GCC) systems. The whistleblower alleges the engineer is not a U.S. citizen.
Microsoft’s own published rules state that temporary elevated access to customer content in GCC requires verified U.S. citizenship. The escort model is the workaround the company uses so non-U.S. personnel can still direct the work.
The screenshots show Viraj Chokhany requesting and receiving approval for escort access to view logs in the DPRODMGD151 environment, which is part of Government Community Cloud Moderate — the cloud used by many federal, state, and local agencies.
In the escort process, a U.S. person is supposed to open the system while the India-based engineer guides the work.
The whistleblower believes this raises urgent national security concerns and may violate FedRAMP requirements.
Multiple Microsoft employees have reviewed the screenshots and confirmed they appear authentic. Viraj, has been confirmed to live in India-- Where he also attended and graduated college.
The whistleblower is working on a public statement. I will release the whistleblowers statement when I receive it.
Attached images are some of the screenshots that I received from the Whistleblower.

My wife teaches English at a high school in Japan.
Last week, she gave her students a writing prompt:
"If you could be American for one day, what would you do?"
She read me the answers at dinner. She had to stop three times because she was laughing too hard.
"Own a pickup truck. I don't need a truck. I just want to say, 'Don't worry, I'll grab the truck.'"
"Have a garage. Not for a car. For 'stuff.'"
"Buy 48 rolls of toilet paper at Costco. I live with my parents. I want them anyway."
"Get a free refill. Then another one. Then another one. Until they ask me to leave. They won't ask me to leave."
"Water my lawn at 6 a.m. in a bathrobe and wave at my neighbor."
"Call my teacher 'dude.'" (My wife underlined this one. Twice.)
"Hang a flag on my house for no reason. Just because it's Tuesday."
And a lot of them wrote some version of this:
"Tell my dad I love him. Out loud. At the dinner table."
Then she had the class vote for the best answer.
The winner wasn't funny. It came from the funniest kid in the class. The truck kid.
"Stand up when the anthem plays, put my hand on my heart, and look around and see everybody else doing it too."
My wife asked him why he picked that one.
He shrugged.
"Because then you're never proud alone."

Hundreds of ballots were just found stacked in an open hallway at a Los Angeles homeless shelter.
One week before the election.
Here's what we know so far:
1. Investigators confirmed the photos are real. They were taken inside The Midnight Mission on Skid Row.
2. 1,160 voters are registered at that one shelter, even though it has a limited number of beds.
3. The shelter blamed a lack of mailroom space and admitted the ballots should have been locked up.
4. An earlier investigation found more than 7,600 voter registrations tied to LA homeless sites.
5. The U.S. Attorney has confirmed a federal investigation into Skid Row ballots.
6. People have already been arrested in a related petition fraud case.
Early voting has already passed 30 million ballots nationwide.
And ballots are sitting unlocked in a hallway where anyone can walk by.
Do you trust mail-in voting?

The Homeless Industrial Complex in California is one of the biggest frauds in modern history
A homeless man gives testimony that there is no help being offered for the homeless in Los Angeles
“I'm a single father that's staying with my daughter here in Los Angeles, California — when I go to any place throughout the city to request services, I'm told there are no services. They don't exist. They're not available and to call 211.
So to give you an example, the most recent time that I called 211, I called 5 different times. Every single time that I called, the community resource specialist told me, too bad, that's not my problem, figure it out on your own”
“I explained to them, me and my daughter have nowhere to sleep tonight. The DPSS vouchers had ran out. I was on a shelter waiting list. There was nowhere to go. I didn't have a car. What should I do tonight?”
The city of Los Angeles is spending roughly $3.4 billion dollars per year on the homeless and yet we have a homeless person right here saying every agency is telling him there is no help…
Where does the $3.4 billion dollars from taxpayers go??? Right into the pockets of the NGOs laundering our money

Giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses was never about driving. It was always about stuffing the voter rolls.
Motor Voter turns every DMV counter into a registration booth that runs on a simple “I swear I’m a citizen” checkbox. When systems glitch or clerks click the wrong box, non-citizens end up registered anyway. That’s not an accident. It’s a feature of a broken system.
DMVs should issue licenses, not ballots.
This needs to end.
