John Maynard Keynes is the best-known economist from the 20th Century, that not being a good thing. At least he was more famous for his success in promoting his views than for his lack of success as an investor. His failures were an extension of his lack of economic understanding.

November 21, 2024
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos told Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk that it’s “false” to claim he thought President-elect Trump would lose the presidential election to Vice President Kamala Harris. “Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that [Trump] would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock,” Musk wrote on X. “Nope,” Bezos replied. “100% not true.” Read the full article here […]
Kevin O’Leary Weighs in on DOGE: ‘Release the Hounds’ (Video) | The Gateway Pundit
November 21, 2024
Kevin O’Leary ‘Shark Tank’ star and famed investor Kevin O’Leary John Roberts: Here’s a breakdown of federal spending, just so that folks at home know where their tax dollars are going. Health care, 25%, Social Security, 20-25%, defense, 13-15%, safety net programs, 10%, interest on the national debt, 8-10%. The way it breaks down is, 61% of spending is mandatory, 13% is on debt service, 26% is discretionary, which really will be the target of DOGE. That is a small piece of the pie to try to wring $2 trillion out of Kevin. Kevin O’Leary: I don’t know I think health care could be another place of savings. We haven’t really used any technology there yet. We haven’t really digitized medical records. We really haven’t brought a mandate of AI into that. I think we could save a lot of money. The US has one of the worst IRR returns on health care spending when you can compare it to some of the European countries like Switzerland, or England, or France, they do a much better job, but they share the records on a much more ubiquitous basis that we do. We’re always concerned about privacy, but I think we could fix that too. But I like looking at everything. I… Read the full article here […]

November 21, 2024
John Fetterman continues to surprise and confuse almost everyone… Is he a Far-Left Democrat? Is he secretly MAGA? How was he so severely brain damaged but now is fine? It’s all quite confusing. So is his latest reaction to the news that Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for Attorney General. Watch here: WATCH: See how Senator John Fetterman reacted to the news that Matt Gaetz withdrew his name as Trump’s Attorney General nominee. pic.twitter.com/AfiElzlXFj — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) November 21, 2024 I can’t tell who he’s mocking….everyone? And that comes on the heels of this other bizarre response: Fetterman Rocks the Boat with Support for President Trump’s Controversial Pick Fetterman Rocks the Boat with Support for President Trump’s Controversial Pick Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania continues to march to his own beat. He’s striking a chord liberals aren’t loving. When President Donald Trump nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Fetterman made a shocking statement. You see, Dr. Oz was a former Fetterman rival. And so Fetterman took to X to post: “If Dr. Oz is about protecting and… […]
Biden Administration Rigging System to Protect Illegals From Trump – PJ Media
November 21, 2024
The Biden-Harris administration is attempting to preempt the incoming Trump-Vance administration’s illegal alien deportations, deviously making it easier for illegals — including dangerous criminals — to avoid authorities while leaving little to no paper trail. A new exclusive report from the New York Post has exposed the Biden-Harris administration’s new ICE portal app that will allow migrants in NYC to skip in-person check-ins at ICE offices. With an online system that is unreliable at best and does not check users for criminal records, this new program could allow violent criminal illegals to avoid Trump administration efforts at deportation with practically no records available on who and where they are. For context on how bad this could get, another Biden administration app, CBP One, is still helping up to 1,500 illegal aliens enter the U.S. every day. From the Post: Homeland Security sources tell The Post the app will make it easier for migrants to flee authorities in part because the software has proven to be glitchy and unreliable. Even when it’s working correctly, the new app doesn’t check for past arrests or outstanding warrants… Read the full article here […]
California Businesses, Households on the Hook for State’s Default on COVID Loan
November 21, 2024
California businesses — and households that pay payroll taxes on domestic employees — are waking up to the reality that they are being forced to pay for the state’s default on $20 billion in federal loans to cover a COVID-era shortfall. The issue came to light this week with a social media post by restaurateur Andrew Gruel about unexpected costs: The Hoover Institution, based at Stanford University, had warned about the problem more than a year ago: Little did California businesses know that they were cosigners on the state’s nearly $20 billion loan from the federal government that was used to cover California’s unemployment fund shortfall during the COVID pandemic. This ugly truth became apparent when the state recently decided to stop making payments on this loan. When a state defaults on its federal unemployment insurance loan, federal law requires that the state’s businesses repay the loan. What makes this default even more egregious is that the stone-age-era IT system of the state’s Employment and Development Department (EDD) opened the floodgates to bad actors, permitting more than $30 billion in fraudulent unemployment claims during the pandemic….

Top MSNBC Personality Gets Brutal Legal Ruling
November 21, 2024
A federal court in Washington, D.C., has ruled that a defamation lawsuit against Andrew Weissmann, a prominent MSNBC legal analyst and former prosecutor, can move forward. The decision stems from allegations brought by Stefan Passantino, a former Trump White House lawyer, who claims Weissmann defamed him in a social media post concerning the January 6 investigation. The dispute traces back to a public statement made by Weissmann, who suggested that Passantino coached Cassidy Hutchinson, a key witness in the House committee’s January 6 investigation, to lie under oath. Passantino, who briefly served as legal counsel to Hutchinson during the hearings, denies the accusations and contends that Weissmann’s claim has tarnished his professional reputation. “Defendant Andrew Weissmann—a partisan former prosecutor and top deputy to Special Counsel Robert Mueller turned MSNBC “legal analyst”—has publicly impugned that reputation, claiming that Mr. Passantino coached his client, Cassidy Hutchinson, to lie in congressional testimony,” the lawsuit stated. “This is an insidious lie. Mr. Passantino never coached Ms. Hutchinson to lie, nor did he attempt to… […]

‘The View’s’ legal team forces Sunny Hostin to correct her lies about Matt Gaetz on live TV, and the look on her face is VENOMOUS
November 21, 2024
Earlier this week, “The View’s” Sunny Hostin, who Dave Rubin believes is “the most racist person on mainstream TV,” went on “a somewhat unhinged rant about Matt Gaetz” — Trump’s pick for attorney general before he withdrew from his nomination. “How could you nominate someone with allegations of child trafficking across state lines and having sex with a 17-year-old? My understanding further on in the interview, they discussed the fact that once he finds out that she’s 17, he stops having sex with her,” Hostin told the panel. Two days later, Hostin was forced by the show’s legal team to correct this libelous smear against Matt Gaetz live on the air. Dave plays the clip of Hostin “eating crow,” and the look on her face is priceless. [embedded content] “Sunny, you have a legal note,” Whoopi Goldberg said to Hostin. “I do have a legal note. Thank you, Whoopi,” Hostin retorted with venom before she began reading off the teleprompter. “Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling the claims ‘invented’ and saying in a statement to ABC News that this false smear following a three-year… Read the full article here […]
Scott Jennings Offers Some Sage Words for Republicans Who Are Reeling Over Matt Gaetz – RedState
November 21, 2024
CNN contributor Scott Jennings has become the go-to pundit for many conservatives recently as the Kentucky native offers funny, homespun hot takes on the latest political maneuvers in Washington, DC. We here at RedState are certainly big fans of Jennings’ insight and wit, such as his heartfelt eulogy to P’Nut the Squirrel, his mockery of the left over their insistence that Donald Trump was “literally Hitler,” and his deft takedowns of the media’s tantrums over Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks. Jennings’ appearances on CNN yield not only memorable soundbites and sharp rebukes of the left, but also some pretty sound advice for Republicans. Such is the case with the aftermath of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) withdrawing his name from consideration for Attorney General. RedState’s fearless managing editor, Jennifer Van Laar, wrote Thursday of Gaetz’s decision to step aside: Gaetz met with multiple Republican Senators on Wednesday in an attempt to shore up support for the nomination and said that while those meetings went well, he didn’t want the confirmation to be a “distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance transition.” Scott Jennings appeared Thursday… Read the full article here […]
