I have an idea; use it as a BALLROOM appropriate for a President. And, no President will return the messy turf to The Rose Garden. Thank you Trump !! archive.is/2026.06.12-122…

Might this finally be the end of tiresome Tom Steyer? His inability to buy votes is a small ray of sunshine in the American political dynamic ???

Donald Trump is not a fan of free and fair elections, but we already knew that. California: We count every ballot. Thank you for your patience as we give democracy time to work.

Somehow, the left has determined that early voting and late counting is in its interest. This has the obvious effect of creating skepticism, mistrust and doubts about the legitimacy of the outcome. They do not care.

The fact that California elections often can't be resolved for weeks is kind of insane and not common in other electoral systems around the world.

Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP, on why showing up early and staying late beats being the smartest person in the room: "I'm not smarter than anybody else, but I can outwork you." Bloomberg shares his key to success: "Make sure you're the first one in there every day and the last one to leave. Don't ever take a lunch break or go to the bathroom. You keep working. You never know when that opportunity is going to come along." He explains how this approach shaped his early career at Salomon Brothers. The managing partner of the company, Bill Salomon, was the second person to arrive each morning. @MikeBloomberg was the only other one in the big trading room. "If he had needed to borrow a match… if he wanted to ask something about a newspaper or a stock, he came over and so we became buddies." The same thing happened at the end of the day. The number two guy, John Gutfreund, was the last one to leave except for Bloomberg. They'd share a cab or take the subway uptown together. "You can't control that you're the smartest guy. There'll always be somebody smarter. But if you're there, then you absorb things. You put things together in ways that if you didn't have all that experience…" He compares it to skiing: "Reading a book on skiing doesn't teach you how to ski. You got to go and you got to ski and get lots of miles under your skis. And incidentally, if you don't fall, you're not skiing hard enough and you're not learning anything." Bloomberg also touches on resilience when things don't go your way: "You got to be smart enough to say, 'Hey, I tried it. Don't let your ego get in the way. I can't keep doing this. I've got to earn a living, but a year from now, I'm going to come up with a better idea and then I'll go back and do it again.'" He closes with a mindset that defined his career: "There's never been a day that I haven't looked forward to going into work. Even the days I knew I was going to get beaten up. Even the day I knew I was going to get fired. I'd never been fired before. I wonder what it's like. Okay, let's go find out."

Is it just me or does Spanberger give off a Nurse Ratched vibe?

Now that the "moderate" Democrat governor Abigail Spanberger has successfully LIED to her constituents, she's got no problem in revealing their plan: MSDNC Host: "Do you worry that states, districts all over the country now will just go tit for tat trying to do this?"

@thehill Again, there is such a thing as TDS. Never a Hilary fan to say the least I always thought of her as having a measured demeanor and an adult presence. But now she’s obviously rattled, sites “the Internet” as her source of ridiculous claims about Trump. Sad.

Just sayin…. The last time the Indiana University Hoosiers football team played a school from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in a regular or postseason game was during a home-and-home series with Missouri in the 2013 and 14 seasons. That’s the most recent SEC matchup on their schedule history. Before that, Ind’s SEC games included a game against Kentucky, the most recent being September 2005.

@GrantObi Of course not. Duffy understands nothing about how anything works. The importance of the Moon for scaling AI did not occur to me until we did the scaling math on Earth to figure out what it would take to launch >1TW/year of orbital AI.

Future Presidents will thank (maybe only in private) Trump for this. No President will bring back the messy turf at The Rose Garden or the tired, odd-lot, broken toy cluster in the East Wing. Trump is doing the right things. He is improving the utility of The White House and the quality of the experience.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.
