Paraphrase Rather: To get as close to the truth as it is possible to get requires a lot of persistence. And one must be prepared to face the consequences. Any controversial story involves powerful people and eventually have to face the furnace and face the heat.

Trump furiously jeered as he taunts Libertarians for winning ‘three per cent’ in elections at their convention

Donald Trump speaks at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention (John Bowden)
Audible boos clashed with impassioned cheers at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington DC on Saturday as former President Donald Trump took the stage before what was certainly the most skeptical if not outright hostile crowd of his bid for the White House this year.
Donald Trump was jeered multiple times within the first few minutes of his speech to a rowdy crowd of roughly a thousand people Saturday evening at the Washington Hilton, where just a few weeks ago his 2024 election opponent Joe Biden spoke at the White House Correspondent’s Association’s (WHCA) annual dinner.
The angry yells from the audience were so constant at parts that it was difficult to tell whether the crowd were booing the incumbent president or the speaker in front of them. At other points, it was plainly obvious: a chant of “we want Trump!” was roundly drowned out by an angry response.
Another round of boos came as Mr Trump declared that he had put everything “on the line” to defend freedom. Boos, both times when Mr Trump suggested that he was a Libertarian through virtue of his criminal trials, prosecuted by the Department of Justice. More boos when the former president suggested, twice, that the Libertarian Party proper should nominate him.
But nothing, nothing compared to the furious jeers that erupted as Donald Trump turned to outright taunting his audience.
“The Libertarian Party should nominate Trump for president,” he declared in third-person. More boos.
“Maybe you don’t want to win. Only do that if you want to win,” Mr Trump quipped over the jeers. “If you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting three per cent every four years.”
This is a breaking news story. More to follow...

Vivek Ramaswamy was met with a wave of boos at the Libertarian National Convention on Friday for mentioning Donald Trump on the eve of the former president’s speech there.
The failed Republican presidential candidate was speaking at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., when he got a distinctly negative reaction from the audience for mentioning Trump, whose planned speech on Saturday has led to calls for protest among libertarians.

He says he believes "in the 10th Amendment. Freedom of speech and freedom to bear arms".
WTF????? He's telling them that Bitcoin "will be made in the USA"!!!
JESUS!!!!
That was grim. This is..........sad. Released in '67 when the war was still escalating.

Eating and Researching Cicadas: Biologist Explains Everything to Know About This Year’s Emergence
Related: [...]Cicada 'super year': [2021] the familiar sound of Australian summer is louder than usual
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174390345
Date Published: May 3, 2024
This story is a part of our “Ask a Professor” series, in which Georgetown faculty members break down complex issues and use their research to inform trending conversations, from the latest pop culture hits to research breakthroughs and critical global events shaping our world.
The cicada broods have arrived.
Martha Weiss is a biologist and professor in the College of Arts & Sciences who
studies cicadas.
This spring, trillions of cicadas belonging to Brood XIII and Brood XIX are crawling out from their underground burrows across the Midwest and South. While the cicadas won’t find their way to the Hilltop, the event will be similar to the emergence of Brood X in 2021, when trillions of cicadas appeared all over Washington, DC, and the surrounding region, not to be seen again until 2038.
However, this year’s simultaneous emergence of two neighboring cicada broods is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon — or, rather, once every 221 years.
These insects can be a loud annoyance or a buzzing winged terror for some people. But for Martha Weiss, professor in the College of Arts & Sciences, cicadas are her life’s work.
“The fact they have this extraordinary life cycle is part of what makes them interesting,” Weiss said. “I’ve lived in Washington for almost 30 years, and I’ve seen them twice here for six weeks at a time. They were here before [humans] ever got here, and they’ll be here after we’re gone.”
As a biologist and entomologist, Weiss studies how the emergence of cicadas affects local environments and food webs. She’s also an advocate for including these little insects as part of your diet.
In this Ask a Professor, watch Weiss give her pitch on why you should eat cicadas, then read on to discover what makes this year’s cicada emergence special and how cicadas can impact local ecologies.

What makes periodical cicadas unique?
Periodical cicadas are amazing creatures that spend over 99% of their lives underground as immature insects; they come up for a few weeks once every either 13 or 17 years to molt into adults, mate, lay eggs and then die. And then the babies hatch out and head back underground, only to reappear in another 13 or 17 years.
Their synchronous mass emergence is also spectacular. Cicadas come up above ground simultaneously with billions of their buddies because they don’t have any chemical defenses. They don’t have any physical defenses. They’re not very fast. The way they avoid getting eaten is to have 1 billion friends around who are more likely to get eaten than they are.
[INSERT: Sounds a bit like Trump administration or Trump
campaign staffers. Or, yeah, of course, Trump lawyers.]
What’s so exciting about this particular cicada emergence?
Every emergence is exciting – but this one is special because two adjacent broods of cicadas will be coming out at the same time. Across the eastern U.S. there are 15 broods, which are geographical groups of cicadas that each consist of up to four different species, and emerge on a very predictable schedule. It’s not unusual for different broods to come out at the same time, but it’s not all that common for adjacent broods to emerge together.
This year we’ll see 17-year Brood XIII to the north and 13-year Brood XIX to the south. They haven’t come up at the same time for 221 years – since 1803.
What do cicadas do while they’re underground?
We don’t know a lot about what happens underground because we can’t see it. Each cicada nymph is a couple of feet down there, in a little burrow in the soil, minding its own business and feeding on the fluid in tree roots. As far as we know, they don’t move around much, and they don’t communicate with one another. They stay there for 13 or 17 years. Then, a few weeks before they’re scheduled to come out, they unplug from their roots and dig a tunnel up to the surface.
How do cicadas know when to emerge?
You can ask that question at two different levels. How do they know when 13 or 17 years have passed? And in the year that they’re coming out, how do they know when they should climb up to the surface because everybody comes out together?
The answer to the first question has to do with what they eat. Cicada mouths are like little hypodermic needles that they insert into the roots of a tree. They feed on xylem fluid, which is basically water that contains dilute nutrients. As the trees get their leaves in the spring, water evaporates from the leaves, and that pulls a column of water all the way up through the roots, trunk and branches of the tree. The cicadas seem to sense and somehow count the annual fluxes in this movement of xylem fluid through the roots. Then, in the year of the emergence, when the soil reaches a threshold temperature, that’s the cue to climb up and out and begin the transformation into adults. Within the first four or five days, probably 70% of them will come out, and the rest will drizzle out over a few more days.
How might climate change affect the life cycle of cicadas?
Cicadas come up from underground when the soil temperature a few inches below the surface reaches 64 degrees Fahrenheit. If our spring temperatures are warmer, then the cicadas could come out earlier in the year of emergence.
The timing of the broods could also change. The 13-year broods are all south of the 17-year broods [which are farther north and in colder climates.] With warmer temperatures, longer growing seasons for the trees would allow the cicadas to grow more quickly, so it’s possible that some of the 17-year broods could transform into 13-year broods,
What will scientists be looking out for in this year’s emergence?
Evolutionary biologists are going to be lined up at the zone of contact [between the two broods], in central Illinois. Because the 13-year broods have evolved from the 17-year broods, it will be fascinating to see what will happen when they meet one another again. Are they going to recognize each other? Will the 13-year species respond to the calls of their progenitors, or have the calls diverged? If individuals from the two broods do manage to mate, will their kids be nymphs for 13 years, 17 years, or will they split the difference?
What will you be studying with this year’s cicada emergence?
I’m going to be in Chicago for much of the summer, and we’re going to be studying how forest ants respond to both the first emergence, when the nymphs come up from underground, and the second emergence, when the eggs hatch and the babies drop to the ground.
How do cicadas affect ants and local ecologies?
Ants are important and often overlooked citizens of the forest. We’re interested to see how the cicada emergence, which provides ready access to high-quality food, will change ants’ ordinary forest jobs.
As one example, many understory plants rely on ants for seed dispersal. These plants have a special little structure on the back of the seed called an elaiosome. It’s basically a little wart that mimics a dead insect. These structures entice ants to pick up the seeds and carry them away from the host plant, so they have a fighting chance to grow somewhere else. We think the ants are going to say, “I’m not going to look for a seed when I’m tripping over cicadas on my way to the elaiosomes – so forget the seeds.”
What’s the biggest misconception people have about cicadas?
Some people view cicadas as scary, dangerous aliens. It makes us [scientists] cringe when we see articles about invasions and that sort of thing, because these insects are entirely harmless. They’ve always been here, and we are privileged to live in an area where we get to see them come up every once in a while.
A periodical cicada emergence is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help kids realize that insects can be cool, interesting and worth admiring, rather than scary, dangerous and creepy.

tree shrimp and vegetable stir-fry
and chocolate emergence cookies. Photos by Martha Weiss.
What are your favorite cicada dishes?
I’d consider chocolate-covered cicadas as an entry-level edible insect because you can roast them and cover them in chocolate, and it’s like eating a chocolate-covered pecan. You wouldn’t even know you were eating a bug. Skewered and barbequed teriyaki-marinated nymphs are even better – crunchy and delicious! Stir-fried cicadas with foraged greens is a rare spring treat – and my chocolate cookie with a nymph coming out is a dramatic reenactment of the emergence!

That's very strange, isn't it? I would not allow a monkey to be a falconer.
Now he's saying "Much of my record is libertarian". Uh-huh, sure.

Wow. This crowd is VERY nasty. Pretty much the only point he's trying to make that they like is that he's an isolationist. Because Libertarians are, too. Genuinely. He does whatever people give him money for doing.
Interestingly, his remarks about the LameStream Media didn't go over well.
He's reading his speech as if it's the first time he's ever seen it. Now there's a "We Want Trump!" chant, but it's opposed by a lot of the people in attendance.
Trumpty's getting a lot of boos at the Libertarian Convention. He doesn't look comfortable...

No, but he puts it simply and honestly, the economics is one thing but the weird just tops dems off..
It's adorable how you focus on Nancy Pelosi's wealth but ignore your very own home-grown, coal baron millionaire who has left the people in WV like you fat, dirt poor, addicted and uneducated for the last 42 years. I'm sure you can find some old posts of yours calling Manchin an elitist.

Marshall has always leaned to conservatism. You obviously too. Marshall used
a simple little definition of populism. That is either dishonest of him. Or naive.
So far you have ignored that point. Let me see you deal with it.
Made too much sense?,,,,But this doesn't,,,yes the dems have changed, just not for the best
No, Nancy is an elitist, and like the rest of dems lost their way......As Marshall said, A reset was called for in 2016,,,,,oops
So Nancy and the dems sold out the working class along with US industry...The new technology promised landed in her city where a common man can't afford to live.... And the manufacturing for the new tech went overseas....Now post the chips bill,,,,A drop in the bucket compared to last few decades.....
At least the auto industry wont suffer so much with another supply chain problem....
Shame is dems could have turned it around as Marshall and I both said,,,,with 3 yrs in.power they had their chance to let folks know the have earnestly learned their lesson....But elitist seldom do....Now Trump stands a good chance

" Far-Right Extremism Is a Global Problem
'What’s New About the New Authoritarianism?
Three recent books considering 21st-century political systems arrive at very different answers to these questions. One demonstrates how today’s autocrats prefer manipulating their citizens to outright repression; it may be the most sophisticated and robust account of the new alternatives to democracy. Another identifies mistakes that liberal democracies keep making with regard to the new autocrats. And the last points to a supposed factor in the decline of democracy—increasingly diverse societies and the difficulties of dealing with them—without arguing that democracies are necessarily doomed.
[...]There is a widespread sense that today’s autocracies differ from previous dictatorships in that rulers ruthlessly concentrate power but do not officially abolish institutions such as parliaments. Nor do they actually disavow democracy, for that matter. Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman’s Spin Dictators substantiates this intuition with data. Guriev and Treisman, social scientists who specialize in Russia, distinguish between “fear dictatorships,” a more traditional model relying on terror to enforce ideological conformity, and “spin dictatorships,” a newer kind that refrain from widespread repression but that ensure a change of power is nearly impossible.""

B402, Posting about, and expressing concern, about things as excessive inequity is one thing.
P - Vilifying elites as Trump does, as you do, as the sort of demagogic YouTube celebrities as Jordan
Peterson and Simon Marshall do is supporting the ethnonationtionalistic populism of Donald Trump.
P - And that is definitely not something anyone who supports democracy should be doing today.
P - Your simplified view of the situation is dangerous. In acting as you are, you are promoting
and enabling the opposition to that which you profess to support.

Populists are making startling gains in support and access to power across the West. The election of Donald Trump and the vote for Brexit in 2016 signalled the arrival of this new reality.

It is almost becoming rote to note and lament this trend. If it weren’t such a serious problem, it would be tempting to turn our attention to other pressing matters. But the reality is that today’s populism represents an existential threat to our liberal democracy. This is because, in most cases, populism is underpinned by a virulent ethnic nationalism.
We know a lot about populism. It is among the most studied .. https://www.sv.uio.no/c-rex/english/publications/c-rex-working-paper-series/Cas%20Mudde:%20The%20Study%20of%20Populist%20Radical%20Right%20Parties.pdf .. political phenomenon. The huge body of research on populism tends to see its rise as a response to large-scale shifts in our economy and society. But this is only half the picture. There are other important factors at play, namely the content of today’s populism .. https://www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandgovernance/article/view/1146 .
What we are missing: ethnic nationalism
If we want to really understand what is going on today, we need to pay close attention to what populists are saying, how they are saying it .. https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=25175 .. and why their messages are reverberating .. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1468-4446.12325 .. with the public.
One of the best ways to do this is to carefully look at what archetypal examples of today’s populists are saying on a regular basis. Unpacking the messages of “successful” populists – like Donald Trump – allows us to understand how and why they win elections.
This is what I did with my colleague Eric Woods in a newly published article .. https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/8K4ZPF7PUC7VG48KI6D3/full?target=10.1080/01419870.2020.1713390 . We read all 5,515 of Donald Trump’s tweets during his presidential run in 2016. Our analysis confirmed our suspicions: Donald Trump is a populist, but he is also an ethnic nationalist.
It is not terribly surprising to call Trump an ethnic nationalist. He regularly plays identity politics, stoking racial and ethnic divisions. His calls to send American congresswomen of colour back to where they came from .. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1150381395078000643 , or his defence of the “very fine people .. https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/apr/26/context-trumps-very-fine-people-both-sides-remarks/ ” at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville come to mind here.
What is more surprising is that a close reading of all of Trump’s tweets over the 2016 campaign shows that these are not mere utterances or occasional slips: ethnic nationalism is the foundation of Donald Trump’s political strategy. It was by far the most common theme in his 2016 Twitter campaign (see Figure one).
Figure One: Overview of Topics in Donald Trump’s Tweets During 2016 Primary and Presidential Campaign
Throughout his campaign, Trump presented himself as the protector of the majority group in America – his so-called silent majority – against the threat of outsiders. He followed a long-used practice of identifying those that do not fit the mould of “true” Americans. His main targets were Mexican migrants, Muslims and political elites, presenting these groups as threats to the survival and interests of the white majority. Indeed, his entire campaign was set up as an argument that America needed to rid itself of these groups to return to glory – to make America great again. The centrality of this idea to his campaign strategy is clear when looking at his favoured topics: about 2000 tweets contained overt ethno-nationalist messages, whereas he tweeted about core policy issues like healthcare, taxes and the Supreme Court only 59, 32 and 12 times, respectively.
Trump did regularly rail against the elites and the establishment (over 500 times on Twitter). He also liked to attack people, something he continued throughout his presidency. Interestingly, though, he often combined populist and ethnic nationalist themes. He would say that the establishment needed to be overthrown to return power to the majority, and that elites were soft on threats like illegal immigration and terrorism. In short: Trump’s populism was underpinned by ethnic nationalism. His tweets show that his “real” America is white, European and Christian.
It is largely this grouping of Americans that Trump targeted in 2016 – and their support was critical to his electoral victory. Approximately 70 percent of the votes cast in the election were by white Americans: 57 percent of these voters sided with Trump (20 points higher than their support for Hillary Clinton), with Trump winning both white men (62%) and white women (52%).
Why now, though? The three key drivers of the populist moment
Careful analysis of what populists are saying can help us see that they are ethnic nationalists. But this still leaves us with important questions – particularly why they are winning today. Here is where the focus on big shifts in our economy and society can help. The accepted orthodoxy is that there are three factors that explain why we are seeing support for populists .. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0010414006294168?casa_token=F9p_iUXlrbUAAAAA:BsTmd0MLdKiQIevSDOAlBXffxxMArC_WmA9Sh0Y7aN95kKosLRiFshj0dDt9x7GMymjLW-970y1O .. rising across the West.
The first factor is economic inequality. Major shifts in the economy, the changing nature of work and rising inequality create anxiety among the middle and working class. This anxiety leads voters toward populist and nationalist ideas. These disaffected people that feel “left behind” by the progress of globalization are channelling their resentment toward “elites” and “foreigners” as part of a larger cultural backlash to the liberal global order. The result is that more and more people are turning inward and seeking protectionist policies and politics.
The second factor is the perception that an out-of-touch or corrupt elite controls politics. There is ample evidence that antipathy with government and the relinquishing of power to transnational bodies drive support for populist and nationalist agendas. Support for far-right nationalists increases with European integration. The perceived loss of control to foreign bodies allows nationalists to present themselves as the saviors of the true nation, and as change agents that can shake up the system.
The third driver of ethno-nationalist populism today is migration. More accurately, the perception that high levels of migration are threatening the economic security and way of life for members of host nations is leading people toward parties and leaders that push anti-immigrant policies. This “demographic anxiety” has led to the reassertion of a more ethnic, majoritarian nationalism in many countries. There are many examples here, from fear of migration .. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1369148117710799?casa_token=mDUca8ivGfMAAAAA%3ASviWObF3aG03ZQNDW9BOFxqTAbsBk0_GeR2g5Ny4x8ASNvTHjSQR_jcIY8qiLbQNlIdi8iU8vuAB .. as a key factor for those that supported Brexit to the Syrian refugee movements increasing attention on immigration .. https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/60155 .. and shifting European policy and politics over the last few years.
So why focus on the ethnic nationalism of today’s populism?
Trump’s pairing of populism with ethnic nationalism has been mimicked by many politicians across the West and around the globe. Understanding how these populists are trading on the currency of ethnic nationalism can help us better see what is behind their success, and thus to find policy responses.
In other words, seeing the whole picture here matters because how we diagnose the problem shapes how we respond. If we think that economic inequality is behind the rise of these movements, then new redistributive polices seem like the answer. If we think that political alienation is the culprit, then we will promote reforms to our political institutions. If we think that immigration is stoking fears that open space for these parties, then immigration controls seem like a viable solution.
Each of these factors very likely does have a role in stimulating support for populism. And so, economic, political and immigration reforms are going to be critical elements of thinking through the responses to populism. But, on their own, they will fall short of addressing the root causes.
At its core, today’s populism is propelled by politicians tapping into powerful ethnic identities to mobilize people. A longer view of history shows that at points of major transition, nationalists have been very adept at manipulating people’s unease to further their cause.
There is an emerging debate taking shape that seeks to tackle the role of ethnic nationalism in today’s politics. On one side are those that say we need to stop listening to the nationalists – that doubling-down on the liberalism and civic values .. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/americas/2018-08-14/against-identity-politics-tribalism-francis-fukuyama .. of the post-war consensus will do the trick. On the other side are those that want us to give in to the darker sides of ethnic nationalism – embracing exclusionary and illiberal policies .. https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/a-political-scientist-defends-white-identity-politics-eric-kaufmann-whiteshift-book . The solutions from these two extremes leave us wanting, to be sure. But the more we can understand the role ethnic nationalism has played as a key driver of today’s populist moment, the more we will be able to think through how policies and politics can respond to combat its more dangerous elements.

I beg your pardon? You were replying to a post of mine that said:
Of course overpaid Republican executives don't want to pay overtime to their underlings. What would you expect?
Your response seems... unresponsive.
LOLOL!! YouTube really does have a wide variety of offerings.
Trump's tax cuts enabled the most wealthiest to take more.
Your saying what Pelosi or other wealthy people make is nit-picking.
You cannot either deny nor dispute that Trump's actions enable the most wealthy to take more.
Trump is one of them yet you enable him. It's stupid.
Whatever,,,,,,A very good speech encapsulating the times.....while you are researching look at the last populist movement in the US,,,,Late 1800s.....Farmers v Elites.....that one made changes even new political party that eventually fizzled... But good change came from it....
This time, we may well not end up as lucky
Trump, Bannon, Alito, Thomas and McConnell have/are screwing the working
class, far more than you or anyone can validly claim Biden and Pelosi have.
Jack Smith put Cannon 'on the spot' for potential removal: conservative George Conway
The Donald Trump-appointed judge's seat is sizzling.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who has been accused of bias and incompetence for failing to get to trial after lengthy delays in the former president's criminal classified documents Espionage Act case, must act to protect law enforcement involved in the high-profile case.
If she falters, she could be yanked from the case.
"I think the special counsel may use this as the opportunity to try to get the 11th Circuit to get rid of her," said conservative lawyer George Conway during an appearance on CNN. "So she's really on the spot here."
The 11th Circuit has already overruled Cannon embarrassingly twice.
A judge can be removed in the 11th Circuit if their conduct creates “the appearance of impropriety or a lack of impartiality in the mind of a reasonable member of the public.”
"She's actually going to have to do something... [and] she better because this is just this is just completely outrageous," Conway noted.
On Friday, Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to "modify" the terms of former President Donald Trump's release in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case where he was indicted along with his valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira.
Specifically, Smith wants Cannon to stop the former president from espousing rhetoric that would endanger the lives of law enforcement officials involved in the case — which would be similar to the gag orders imposed on Trump in the federal January 6 case and the Manhattan hush money business falsifying documents case.
The request appears to be primarily a response to Trump promoting conspiracy theories that the FBI was authorized by President Joe Biden to assassinate him.
“BIDEN’S DOJ WAS AUTHORIZED TO SHOOT ME," reads the language posted by Trump on Truth Social. "Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger.”
But it's been proven to be pure hysteria.
That's because the search warrant document executed at Mar-a-Lago was using boilerplate language that outlined the conditions under which they were authorized to use deadly force while executing the search.
Conway was gobsmacked by Trump's cry wolf tone.
"I mean, it is really an attempt to incite violence against government agents based on the complete pathological lie," he said. "It's a misreading and gross, just absolutely obscene misreading, of a standard document that limits the use of force."
The co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project also condemned the former president's campaign email that doubled down on the assassination threat even after it was disproven.
Conway said: "It just shows you the level of just moral depravity that Trump emanates and that surrounds him; I can't find the words to describe that level of depravity to send this message out."
B402, So we had to suffer the duplicitous YouTuber Jordan Peterson, now we have to suffer a newer YouTube celebrity Winston Marshall. From what i've seen so far Marshall could be as shoddy as Peterson. What sort of a guy distorts Pelosi's use of the word ethnonationalist as Marshall does in that video. The kind of guy who delights in tearing down as you do. The kind of guy who sees himself as a new You Tube know-it-all. The kind of guy who uses propaganda to control.
First his use of the one simple populism definition he does lacks integrity. Secondly your support of Marshall's use of the simple one little definition he uses in that video, after being made fully aware of the different views of exactly what populism is which you have been here
B402, This is direct evidence your "Populism is a result of inequity" is not supported by research.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174449430
and in these replies to you .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/replies.aspx?msg=174449995 ..
is dishonest on your part. Marshall in defending the American far-right (as in his support of Andy Ngo he is) is jumping
on Trump's ethnonationalist type of populist appeal. And in fact it is racist.
For now i suffered six minutes only of that video.
You guys are no doing those interested in democracy any favors. Just as Netanyahu is not doing Israel any favors today.
Nancy made 40Mil last year and this yr made a good pre IPO firm pick in AI .......
https://finbold.com/nancy-pelosis-stock-portfolio-performance-in-2024/
A new addition to the portfolio, and a new all-time high
Pelosi’s most recent investment, made through Forge Investments on March 22, is in Databricks, a company specializing in big data and generative AI. It’s worth noting that Databricks is a pre-IPO company, and Pelosi utilized Forge’s secondary markets platform to invest between $1 to $5 million, as disclosed in the latest SEC filing.
Concurrently, on the same date, thanks to the gains made, Pelosi’s portfolio hit an all-time high, with a 92.53% return on investment, as reported by a congress and insider trade stock tracker unusual_whales
(Whatever problem you think Marshall has, Im glad to suffer from it to, very good speech)
Here is what's dangerous,,,,,,,Screwing the working class and then calling them rasict....
Pelosi post coming next
B402, Posting about, and expressing concern, about things as excessive inequity is one thing.
Vilifying elites as Trump does, as you do, as the sort of demagogic YouTube celebrities as Jordan
Peterson and Simon Marshall do is supporting the ethnonationtionalistic populism of Donald Trump.
And that is definitely not something anyone who supports democracy should be doing today.
Your simplified view of the situation is dangerous. In acting as you are, you are promoting
and enabling the opposition to that which you profess to support.
You are enabling those authoritarians who in fact are working against the development of a fairer society.
Same problem dems once had,,,, glad I suffer from it..
You point out the dangers of populism from my link,,, which is one of my points from the very beginning,,,,, When elites ignore common folk for too long and even take to calling them names,,,,populism can be hijacked, its a historical thing when those in power and elites fail to read the writing on the wall....
