So let me get this straight. An A.I. startup gave to Sean Duffy’s son in law’s campaign for congress.
Then Sean Duffy and the FAA gave that same company a 12 year, $875M contract for their A.I. air traffic control system.
That same traffic system went live nationwide Nov. 10.
Three days later, the FAA had to ground all flights because the system failed.
Ok. Lock em all up.

The NYT didn't let me use this because they never cite exit polls, but here's the election in one data point: The Ds won Floridians who have lived here a decade, but the Rs absolutely crushed them with newcomers. Ds won the old swing-state Florida, but that's no longer Florida.

This new Reuters report is stunning.
A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.
Both men deny the meeting.
Flight records show their planes parked together that day.
Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.
Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.
Congress has a duty to act.
We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.
If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.

Phil Jackson says Michael Jordan would be so worn down after a game that he needed teammates to help him get to his room, and says Jordan would still want to play the next night because it might be the fans’ only opportunity to ever see him play
“We got out on the road, we were winning games. Michael played a great game in Sacramento and literally had to be kind of carried, not physically carried, but his arm around the shoulders of two of his teammates to get to his room. Oh, he’ll be back, he’ll play tomorrow. There’s no way he’s going to stop playing.”
“He’ll want to play just because this is the only chance the fans out here in Golden State or Portland, or wherever he was, are going to see him. And he knows that, and he wants to perform and play the best he can in front of them. That was a remarkable part about the effort he gave. And we have effort now from NBA players where they literally take time off.”
“‘I don’t think I can play two games in three nights.’ As basketball players, we used to play. One of our finishes to a road trip, we played Golden State, Portland, and Seattle, three games in three nights. And now, with literally back-to-back games, a lot of players take off because they can’t play back-to-back games.”
“And that’s a remarkable thing about the performance level of the game that became like Michael Jordan’s muse, was that I need to perform to show these people why I’m the best player in this game, or to have my impact on the game itself that we’re playing. One time, we were at the end, before the All-Star break, and we had a game in Seattle, a double-overtime game. Michael bumped a referee, and he was suspended for one game, the last game of this road trip in Phoenix. And the hue and cry from people that had bought tickets from all around the Arizona area just so they could go watch Michael Jordan.”
“Our only time he played in Phoenix, you know, it left the league a little bit embarrassed about the suspension because it was a minor event, a minor thing, accidental as a matter of fact. So that was perhaps one of the most remarkable things about the effort that Michael put in.”

You all tell us constantly that being a minority in this country isn’t an issue. You just have to work hard and make your way, so why would it be an issue when white people become the minority?
