California is in the midst of a record-shattering investment wave, fueled by the artificial-intelligence boom in Silicon Valley.

Elon Musk @elonmusk Follow Derek Chauvin was unjustly convicted of murder, therefore he should be freed. The facts show that he was not the cause of death, nor did he at any time intend for a death to occur. Whatever else he may be, he is not a murderer. That is the truth.

Pardoned Nazi January 6 runamok Jake Lang and phony Christian pastor Lorenzo Sewell led a horde of Islamomisists on a "Christian Crusader March" on a Dearborn City Council meeting, barking that their mob would "not surrender to Islam" nor the "Islamification of America."

Muslim haters such as Jake Lang, Lorenzo Sewell, Laura Loomer, Scott LoBaido, Andrew Cuomo, and Alan Dershowitz are simply not good human beings. Samaritans may have concussed the malpariso in Minnesota (Jan 2026). Ouch!

President Donald Trump bragged on Wednesday, "I'm very good at flagpoles!" during what CNN described as an "impromptu tour of his various White House construction projects." CNN's Kasie Hunt reported on the moment during Wednesday's edition of The Arena, explaining, "The president's schedule initially said he was participating in a policy meeting during that time. Instead, he spent 32 minutes ... explaining in painstaking detail the changes that he's bringing to the People's House."
