100 years from now, we're going to study crypto as a way that the very wealthy were able to extract capital from the lower middle class and historically marginalized by getting them to pump cash into their money laundering racket by exploiting their distrust/ignorance of banking. twitter.com/unusual_whales…

trump ran his racist mouth about “the China virus.” trump ran his racist mouth about Elaine Chao, demeaning her as “Coco Chow.” But when China flew 3 surveillance balloons over US while he was “President,” he kept his racist, cowardly mouth shut&kept his money in Chinese banks.

If you're outraged about the Chinese spy balloon, wait till you hear about the former US president who stole tons of top secret documents, hid them at his home, and may have kept them so he could trade them for leniency from the US government -- or help from foreign governments.

The way President Biden handled the balloon situation was absolutely MASTERFUL. No insane all caps tweets. No putting American lives and property at risk. Just steady, competent leadership in getting the job done.

The idea that Neanderthals roamed in small bands has been around for more than a century. But the trove of butchered elephant bones studied in Germany suggests that our hominid cousins may have been able to sustain themselves in large groups.

I hesitate to say this publicly, but the obvious reason they haven't shot down the balloon is that they have infiltrated its systems and upon its return to China it is now programmed to wrest control of TikTok for the CIA.

Extremist politicians are eying cuts to Social Security under the guise of reducing the deficit—even though, by law, the program adds $0 to our national debt. I used my whiteboard to call out this dangerous lie and stand up for the millions of Americans who rely on the program.
