Air Date: 6/24/2026 The Monthly-ish Mix™ is here to get you caught up on recent news without being overwhelming! If you've been pulling back from the news for your own sanity, this one's built for you — a quick recap and reference guide to the past month or two, organized around a single idea: when power can't earn legitimacy, it manufactures it. The performance. Spectacle, religion, and health branding standing in for real consent: Trump collecting a FIFA "peace prize," Christian nationalism worn as a costume the actual church refuses to bless, and RFK Jr. dressing up a gutted vaccine agenda as "moderate," scapegoating immigrants as he goes, while the USAID cuts run up a body count. The machinery. The infrastructure that keeps the performance going while real consent drains away underneath: a legal system bent toward self-dealing and a $1.8 billion slush fund, billionaire money rewriting the rules since Citizens United, an AI gold rush sold as inevitable before anyone voted on it, and an economy booming on paper while the ground shifts under everyone's feet. The vacuum and the reclaiming. What rushes in when legitimacy collapses, from normalized political violence to a manifesto born of that collapse — and then the democratic answer: why the rupture hasn't come, why revolutions tend to devour themselves, and why the slower work wins. Nonviolent movements draw eleven times the participation, and the ballot box the Supreme Court is fighting hardest to narrow is the same one that just turned out 78% of Hungary to remove Orbán.

In this 10th episode interview, Jason Hartman speaks with Jim Huling about the second edition of his book, The Four Disciplines of Execution. The conversation centers on a framework designed to help individuals and organizations move past the "whirlwind" of daily tasks to achieve wildly important goals. Huling explains that success requires a narrow focus on specific objectives and the use of lead measures to track predictive behaviors. He also emphasizes the importance of engagement through visual scoreboards and maintaining a cadence of accountability among teammates. By shifting from top-down authority to peer-to-peer commitments, leaders can foster a culture of high performance and trust. Ultimately, the source highlights how these principles apply across various sectors, including hospitality, the military, and education.   Key Takeaways: 0:00 The biggest housing bill in decades 9:05 Manufactured housing 10:45 Balancing factor and PropertyTracker.com 16:47 Franklin Covey's Jim Huling Join our FREE monthly Masterclass JasonHartman.com/Wednesday http://empoweredinvestor.com/    _______________________________________________________________   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

What if history's most infamous monsters weren't acting alone?When we look back at the terrifying legacies of the world's most notorious serial killers, the mainstream narrative tells us a story of random, isolated madness. But beneath the surface lies a darker, far more calculating reality. In this episode of @TheSoulTrap, we pull back the curtain on the chilling intersection of covert shadow programs, mind control, and deep occult networks.Are we looking at lone psychopaths, or engineered assets?We dive deep into the unsettling anomalies surrounding these cases, exploring the terrifying possibility that programs like MK-Ultra never truly ended—they just evolved. From institutional blind spots to whispers of clandestine hits orchestrated for the global elite, we piece together a puzzle that completely reframes everything you thought you knew about history's worst crimes.Turn the lights down, open your mind, and question everything.

Pour yourself a cup of coffee, find a comfortable chair, and let the world slow down for a few minutes. In this episode of The Coffee Buzz, we unpack the biting social commentary and deep psychological insight of Verse 18 of the Tao Te Ching. This verse presents us with a radical challenge to our modern obsession with rules, policies, and performative virtue. Today, we explore why a sudden abundance of moral rules usually means we've lost our underlying connection to reality, and how we can find our way back to an authentic, unmanufactured way of living.In This Episode, We Pour Over:The Paradox of Enforced Goodness: Why talking endlessly about virtue and piety is often a sign that the genuine flow of life has been forgotten.The Substitute Trap: How our culture relies on clever metrics, branding, and strict rules to fake an organic harmony that we've let slip through our fingers.Tending the Source: Moving past the performative demands of family duty or external righteousness to nurture simple, natural connection in our everyday interactions.Featured Reading: Verse 18 of the Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell translation).Join the Conversation: Where in your life are you relying on a rigid rulebook or an abstract policy rather than trusting your natural instincts or authentic connection? How can you loosen your dependence on performance metrics this week and just sit with the real thing? Let me know in the comments below. If you enjoyed this reflection, please subscribe and share it with someone who might need a quiet moment today. See you on the next one.

A version of this essay has been published by Open Magazine at https://openthemagazine.com/world/india-will-collapse-without-digital-sovereignty-and-pax-indica-lessons-from-hormuzBy now it is clear that the Iran War (or West Asia War) has been a disaster to all concerned, including the principals as well as assorted passersby. The massive amounts spent by the US (at last count $25 billion) are at least articulated; the bill for the enormous infrastructural and human suffering inflicted on Gulf states, in the theater of war, must be greater, by definition.The collateral damages suffered by the rest of the world from the cessation of trade through the Straits of Hormuz will presumably run into the trillions of dollars. As one of the worst affected, India, which imports 90% of its hydrocarbons from the Gulf, not to mention other essential items such as urea (for fertilizer), sulfuric acid, helium, etc., is on track to take a massive hit. As an article in The Economic Times said, “India must brace for broad-based economic shock”.Indian exports of up to $50 billion are also affected, especially agricultural products including perishable foodstuffs, but also gems and jewellery, electronics, textiles and garments. Some of this can be diverted via Oman and the UAE's Fujairah port, but much of it passes through the Straits of Hormuz and is potentially blocked and/or stranded at sea.The Hormuz closure is a body blow to India's economy. What can and will India do about it? The Indian State has a habit of rising to the challenge only when there is a crisis, while vegetating otherwise. The 1991 economic crisis is a case in point; the sanctions following “The Buddha is smiling”, and the denial of cryogenic rocket engines and supercomputers are other examples where the nation rallied. So were covid vaccines. Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention.Turning a threat into an opportunityIf I were to be an optimist, I could say that the current crisis is actually an opportunity. In fact, a major opportunity. My reading of the Iran War is that it is President Trump's strategic tit-for-tat against China for denying him rare earths and cutting off soybean purchases. In return Trump decided to deny China access to oil by closing access to Venezuela and Iran. Whether this will work, or whether the G2 condominium (read ‘surrender') will prevail, is unclear.But that is, in a sense, background noise that needs to be managed. India needs to focus on its own issues, of which I see several as critical, and the solution in general is to become Atmanirbhar, self-reliant, and from that, to create an Anti-Fragile nation:* National security/defense* Food security* Energy security* Digital security/narrative control* Trade securityThe first three do not need an explanation: they are obvious. Internal and external security are pre-requisites for any successful society. If India's hard-won food security can be threatened by external threats, then there needs to be some deep introspection. Energy security means diversification, both of hydrocarbon sources, and of types of energy, including renewables, nuclear, biomass, coal-based, and so on.Malign narratives and digital sovereigntyNarrative control is something that the Indian State has failed at so far; it is laughably easy to create hate speech against Indians and India (as has been demonstrated freely by any number of players, starting from the MAGA crowd, to Audrey Truschke to a”Cockroach Janata Party” and some nitwit Norwegian journalist in just the last fortnight) and there are no consequences to the culprits. It's enough to make me pine for Lee Kuan Yew's aggressive legal battles against the media.It's one thing if it were only a problem with foreigners, but with the massive spread of social media, and in particular generativeAI, it is becoming a serious domestic issue. Since India is an avid consumer of social media, and because generativeAI is trained on things like Wikipedia, X, Whatsapp and Google content, biased and motivated material becomes ensconced as The Truth. I have written about narrative warfare and manufacturing consent.This used to be a one-way tsunami of (mis)-information by legacy media, but now there is also the opposite: the wholesale and free vacuuming-up of Indian data (whatever happened to “data is the new oil”?). The “Great Firewall of China” both kept out foreign BIg Tech applications and prevented their plundering Chinese data: is that the way to go?Manufactured narratives are intended for regime change: all the color revolutions today are hatched with massive bot-farms funded by some combination of Deep State, CCP, ISI, Qatar etc. (for example the alleged Gen-Z uprisings that rocked Nepal, drove Sheikh Hasina out of Bangladesh). Thus muzzling malign narratives, and ensuring data security, are imperative.Even Singapore is not immune: it had to block anti-India narratives that likely originated from Chinese sources.A particularly striking example of narrative warfare is the virtual hate speech inducted into Wikipedia by deeply prejudiced anonymous editors. Ashley Rindsberg, who exposed the mighty New York Times' biases in his book The Gray Lady Winked, provides many examples of this.Of note to Indians and Hindus is his recent substack titled “Wikipedia's India War” where he identifies just four editors as having created most of the content condemning the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) in ‘Wikivoice', i.e. the allegedly neutral perspective of Wikipedia. They are, on the contrary, shown to be highly one-sided.As Rindsberg mentions, Wikipedia being central to generativeAI, the damage is baked into the world-view of all AI applications. Truly Orwellian. Says Rindsberg: “four… anonymous accounts can have an enormous impact on what millions of people believe to be the truth.” “Over four years (2021-2025), editors systematically erased HAF's identity as an American civil rights group, transforming its Wikipedia page into a heavily curated dossier of accusations.”Trade, and how the Spice Route was far superior to the Silk RoadFinally, something that is becoming increasingly important: ensuring freedom of trade. This is more than just freedom of navigation, although I find it instructive that Emperor Rajendra Chola sent a huge fleet 1,001 years ago simply to open up the Straits of Malacca. India can make an active attempt to regain primacy in Indian Ocean trade, the whole Pax indica idea.Here is another example of the power of narrative: we have been led to believe that the Silk Road to China was some major highway of commerce between ancient Rome and ancient China, but it was a term coined only in 1877 by the German Ferdinand von Richthofen. There was no highway. A large caravan might take six months, and with 500 camels traversing treacherous deserts and braving bandits, it might carry a maximum of 100 tons. That is puny.In comparison, on the Spice Route, a single stitched ship from Muziris could carry 400 tons of ivory, pepper, silk, tigers and elephants; and the historian Strabo around 1 CE talks about fleets of 250 ships going from Alexandria to India on a six-week monsoon-powered journey. That is 100,000 tons of merchandise. No wonder Pliny the Elder complained that Rome's treasuries were being emptied of gold by India.Simple question: where are hoards of ancient Roman coins found in Asia? Answer: not along the Silk Road. The hoards are in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka.Today, it is possible for India to aspire to port-led development of trade, especially with the major ports at Trivandrum (Vizhinjam), Maharashtra (Vadhavan), and Great Nicobar (Galathea Bay). The underlying ‘software' of India's millennia-old trade competency was a ‘multi-protocol switch' as I pointed out, and today's India Stack can replicate that. Then there is the need for a blue-water navy: muscle to provide security on the Hormuz to Malacca sea-lanes.So there is a vision. How can India get there? This is where policy matters, as I discussed with policy expert Anuj Gupta. Policy, especially industrial policy, has had a bad reputation in certain circles because it was deemed to violate the virginal purity of classical capitalism. However, in a recent U-turn, even the World Bank admitted that industrial policy may not be all that bad, after all: the success of Japan, the Asian Tigers, and China can't be ignored.That leads to the question of why policy in India has produced mediocre outcomes, what is different now, and where the best use of policy might be.Industrial Policy: What went wrong in the past?There are many problems here. To begin with, the Soviet model, which Nehruvians swore by, was, in hindsight, a dead end. Second, there is the problem of governance: post-Independence bureaucrats have awkwardly borne the legacy of imperial hauteur and the needs of a developing society. Third, until recently, the bare necessities (food, electricity, road access) were not available to many citizens, and GDP growth was not their priority.There is also the culture of jugaad: of clever ways in which you overcome constraints through frugal improvisation and seat-of-the-pants making-do. This is fine for one-off things (e.g. converting a tractor trailer into a makeshift transport vehicle because your truck broke down), but it does not make for efficient and replicable industrial products. As The Economic Times said recently, it is time to junk jugaad. Quality has to become ingrained in people's minds.The issue of governance is significant: the bureaucracy and the judiciary have both under-performed, politicians, as everywhere, have been venal. It is said that China's growth can be attributed to the fact that its babus are engineers, and therefore with engineering ruthlessness move in straight lines. The US' babus are lawyers, and India's are humanities graduates. Well, engineers are not very good at second-order effects (eg. China's lurch from one-child policy to demographic collapse), but a little bit of ruthlessness is probably good.What is going reasonably well?There are a few modest success stories: for example, in electronics manufacturing or assembly. The PLIs (and DLIs) have produced the desired effort, with clusters of excellence where global suppliers have also set up shop (as they did earlier for the automobile industry in, say, Sriperumpudur). The fact that a lot of iPhones in the US are now imported from India is laudable, even though it may be derided as “screwdriver jobs”. That's where one starts the move up the value chain.The current semiconductor policy is a big hope, especially after the landmark agreement by the Dutch firm ASML with Tata Electronics in Dholera, Gujarat. Given that ASML has a near-monopoly position in Deep Ultraviolet Lithography (DUV) this is a major boost to India's chip ambitions. My recent conversation with AMD CTO Suraj Rengarajan went into India's chances to realize its ambitions.A recent announcement from Trivandrum-based fabless startup NetraSemi (a recipient of DLI) of the commercial availability of its edge AI chips is a landmark.Next is the newly announced plan for energy security revolving around both coal gasification and intensive offshore exploration. These fall squarely into the Atmanirbhar category: India simply cannot afford to have its energy held hostage by distant nations. It also needs distinctly Indian innovation.The Samudra Manthan initiative is also showing some promise. At least one out of three deep-water wells in the Andaman Sea (SriVijaya Puram-3) are reported to be showing the availability of natural gas, although it will take 5-10 years for this to be commercially available.What should the future look like for India's Industrial Policies?This of course is the hard question. Here is my personal perspective, and I accept that reasonable people may disagree. I think three areas need to be focused on, and will pay large dividends.* Drones and swarming software* Social media and AI stack* Maritime Trade and Blue-Water NavyI admit that these are not the only worthwhile industrial policies. Another is for copper, which would reverse the catastrophic effects of the closure of the Sterlite plant in Thoothukkudi, as the metal is an increasingly important component in electronics, data centers, etc., and far from being self-sufficient earlier, India now imports 50% of its needs. Another area of interest in quantum computing.There are also failures from which the right lessons need to be learned. The policy for EV batteries has apparently failed: according to Swarajya magazine, India has not been able to escape from near-total dependence on imported Chinese batteries.Drone swarmsI wrote recently that drones may well herald a step-change in warfare. For the moment, though, they are searching for their niche in offensive/defensive warfare. Drone hardware is already a well-trodden path with Chinese and other nations dominating it, although with IdeaForge, Paras, Garuda, IoTechworld Avigation etc., India is also making progress there. And India is indeed buying the hardware, $2 billion-worth, according to the Economic Times.But I believe the real game is in drone swarms. AI-based control software (similar to HiveMind) that would allow an entire swarm to act autonomously, just like a murmuration of starlings, would be the gold standard to aim for. Such a self-managing swarm would be virtually impossible to defend against, and I think India should put in place a PLI to support it, leveraging software capability in the country.Of course, drones are not just for military purposes, but also for commercial uses including things like logistics and agricultural use, such as precision delivery of fertilizer and pesticide to crops (as Garuda demonstrates). An Indian initiative that supports both drone hardware, and especially drone software, would be a potential winner.Digital Sovereignty: Social media and AI stackThere is a raging battle over which part of the AI stack India needs to invest in. As an old Unix hand, I believe the foundational model is not where the differentiation is. In analogy with Linux (the open-source Unix variant that was popularized by Linus Torvalds and an army of volunteers), there is little value in re-writing the operating system, but one can differentiate by building on top of it, or by judiciously choosing certain modules of it.Besides, the cost of building an entirely new foundational model would be astronomical and would consume the entire budget of IndiaAI Mission.Thus, my personal opinion is that the foundational model (especially when, it is believed, there are more or less open-source models available for free, e.g. Llama, DeepSeek) is not where India should expend its precious R&D resources, but on the layers of the stack above it. It is the data that matters, as Larry Ellison apparently suggests too.But there is the interesting counter-example of Sarvam AI which is producing its own sovereign model: multi-lingual and presumably otherwise tuned to Indian needs. The question is whether this can survive when hundreds of billions worth of capital investment are going to the US Big Tech companies and their Chinese rivals. The sad history of Koo, a Twitter rival, comes to mind. So does Arattai, a Whatsapp rival, whose popularity has waned. .A well-thought-through industrial policy on generativeAI is therefore essential. The status quo ante is unsustainable; given the fact that Sarvam has also found it difficult to raise funds in the US, it is worth pondering whether a China-style massive subsidy is the answer. And where should it go, into foundational models or into the layers of the stack above it? The answer is “both”, but with priority to the latter.Here is where I would prioritize investments, in order:* Vertical applications in specific domains: e.g. defense, healthcare, agriculture, governance (particularly in the judiciary and in ease of doing business in the bureaucracy)* Fine-tuning and customization: for the needs of the Indian context, e.g. multi-linguality under Bhashini* Compute infrastructure: GPUs, sovereign and protected indian datasets* Sovereign Small-Language Models such as Sarvam AIAs mentioned above, at the moment India's data is being sucked up for free by US Big Tech. In addition, there is the real danger that Indic Knowledge Systems will be mined and digested, as has happened to yoga, pranayama, etc., which have been given Western analogs and nomenclature, as in Pilates, ‘coherent breathing' etc.These two problems are connected, and both need to be tackled in parallel. Social media is being weaponized against India, and this is magnified by the legacy media in a positive feedback loop. Three examples: one was the rage against Adani based on the dubious research of Hindenburg, which then went under; the second is Bloomberg's reckless accusation about gold reserves being sold by the RBI, which they were forced to retract, but social media and Wikipedia will remember it; the third is the meteoric (media) rise of the Cockroach Janata Party.Trade using major ports, Digital Public Infrastructure and a blue water navyUsing trade for competitive advantage is an age-old tactic. The trade tiffs between the US and China are examples of this: we are witnessing war by other means. Many nations are getting into this act, and India does have some advantages, partly based on geography. Maritime trade is likely to continue to be the key, which makes naval chokepoints the big story, but not the only story to watch out for.The major aspects of maritime trade include infrastructure, the digital “multi-protocol switch”, and security. On the one hand, India is developing not only major container ports, and the road/rail links to get to them, and the industrial goods to ship out through them, but also a serious shipbuilding industry, which was one of India's historical strengths. Then it used to be stitched wooden ships (teak beams lashed together with coconut rope). Now it's modern steel ships.There are the big, efficient new ports, which can now turn ships around with Singapore-like efficiency; the proposed third aircraft carrier group which will make it possible to patrol the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal at the time; the Air-Independent Propulsion diesel submarines and nuclear submarines that can monitor (and if necessary, deny) narrow straits; the sale of supersonic Brahmos cruise missiles to the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia (and Cyprus) that create ship-denial zones: all this is muscle.And the final piece, the ‘software' for trade, the “multi-protocol switch”. This last is complicated. Its value is underestimated by many. But this is what enables friction-less transactions between various unrelated parties. The India Stack and the Digital Public Infrastructure can be utilized to provide such a facility. But it is complex enough to need significant study as to what is possible, and how to roll it out.Second-order effectsIn closing, it is worth considering some of what the (unintended) consequences of these proposals may be. Let us note that the G2 has no interest in allowing India to grow and make it a G3. They will do everything in their power to kneecap India, by all means possible.There is also a certain derision for India in some circles. Here is a generic western opinion on why China got rich, and India didn't. Well, the author doesn't consider the second-order effects of the wholesale destruction of Chinese civilization: that is a tradeoff Indians may not prefer for themselves. We all know how China's well-intentioned One Child Policy turned into demographic collapse within a few years. Besides, as The Economist asks, “China is innovative. Its economy is a mess. Which will win out?”This is why I think planning for these second-order effects is important. We tend to ignore them because they seem counterintuitive or unlikely, but Nassim Taleb has sensitized us to how low-probability Black Swan events can have grave consequences.As an example, attempting digital sovereignty may have unwelcome side-effects: Big Tech have the first-mover advantage and network effects and there are increasing returns to scale. They will surely make it hard for a new player to break in. Besides, the large investments in data centers and GCCs that they are making in India would make it very difficult for them to be ejected with a “Great Indian Firewall”.Even taxing their capture of Indian data will be complicated; not to mention that they have demonstrated that they can happily violate copyright laws with no consequence; therefore they will find ways to chew up and spit out Indian Knowledge Systems, and essentially re-colonize India. Digital colonialism is not a threat, it is a reality today, and it is a consequence of the relatively open Indian system.In addition, there is a malign group, the “barbarians within” as Arnold Toynbee once put it, who are ready to sacrifice Indian sovereignty for a pittance.Given all this, it will be very difficult to put in place serious measures to gain digital independence; and the narrative-peddling is likely to gain further momentum: just consider the caste allegations that have haunted BAPS in the US (despite the cases being dismissed by the US DoJ), the Cisco Systems case where, again, the case was dismissed, but the narrative continues, and the persistent efforts in various US states to turn caste into a weapon to bludgeon Indians.Another sensitive issue is that of the multi-protocol switch for trade. While from an Indian point of view, it eases trade and harks back to a Golden Age of Indic maritime commerce, but that will be viewed elsewhere very differently, for instance by the US as an attempt to de-dollarize. The US has jealousy guarded – with very good reasons that we will not go into here – the dollar's reserve currency status.We have also seen what happened to those who attempt to hurt the dollar's primacy: in 1985, the Plaza Accord devalued the dollar, and that was a body blow to Japan's economy, which has not recovered its mojo to this day. Later, Iraq's Saddam Hussein and Libya's Muammar Gaddafi both had ideas about replacing the petro-dollar with, respectively, the Euro and a new pan-African gold-backed currency. We know what happened to them.If the India Stack multi-protocol switch is perceived as an alternative to the US dollar, there may be grave consequences. Therefore, it should be conceived and deployed only as an adjunct to it and to the almighty SWIFT settlement system.ConclusionIndia is at a crossroads now. Even though the Hormuz closure is a serious problem, if it plays its cards right, adversity can be turned into opportunity across a variety of perspectives. The key is Atmanirbhar, self-reliance. If India can now implement a crash program of industrial policy, and at the same time overcome an ingrained Third-World tendency to cut corners, it can finally break free of the years of underperformance, what I called the Nehruvian Penalty in 2004.It is possible, but there are caveats: unforeseen consequences.

Katz: Lynchburg Circuit Court Judge Patrick Yeatts Reaffirms Injunction Blocking Virginia HB 1525 Universal Background Checks A Lynchburg judge rejected Virginia's attempt to revive universal background checks on private firearm sales, keeping the injunction against State Police enforcement in place. On June 3, 2026, Lynchburg Circuit Court Judge Patrick Yeatts denied the Virginia State Police and Attorney General's motion to dissolve his October 2025 permanent injunction. The injunction struck down Virginia's universal background check requirement for private firearm sales (originally enacted in 2020 and codified at Va. Code § 18.2-308.2:5) after finding it unconstitutional under Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution, particularly as applied to those under 21, and non-severable. The ruling came after the legislature passed and Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed HB 1525 in April 2026 with an emergency clause directing VSP to resume checks; plaintiffs including Gun Owners of America, Virginia Citizens Defense League, and individuals filed to enforce the existing injunction.

DOJ Settlement and ATF Director Robert Cekada Congressional Testimony on Forced Reset Triggers YouTubeVideo | Does RareBreed Have a Government Sanctioned Monopoly? Today we are going to be discussing the most recent development in the RareBreed Triggers situation. Since the settlement with the Department of Justice there have been many lawsuits filed and a major discussion about the legality of other devices that are similar to the FRT-15. Recently the new director of the ATF, Robert Cekada, testified in front of congress and had some interesting things to say about Forced Reset Triggers.

The discussion covers legal distinctions between rate of fire, trigger function, drop-in auto sears, and potential implications for competing forced reset trigger products. AMMOLAND SHOOTING SPORTS NEWS(Savage) United States v. DeBorba (9th Cir. 2026): Suppressors Not Protected as 'Arms' Under Second Amendment The Ninth Circuit ruled suppressors are not Second Amendment arms in United States v. DeBorba, a bad-facts illegal alien gun case that may hurt future suppressor challenges. The Ninth Circuit affirmed João Ricardo DeBorba's convictions for unlawful possession of firearms, ammunition, and an unregistered silencer under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The court held that silencers/suppressors are optional accessories or ‘accoutrements' rather than ‘arms' covered by the plain text of the Second Amendment, citing prior precedent such as Duncan v. Bonta. It further ruled the NFA's shall-issue registration and taxation regime is constitutional as DeBorba failed to show abusive enforcement. NRA BLOWS WHISTLE ON NRA FOUNDATION, FILES LAWSUIT IN COURT(Savage) National Rifle Association of America v. NRA Foundation (1:26-cv-00015, D.D.C.) The National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against the NRA Foundation, asserting ownership of intellectual property and alleging the foundation's leadership is operating in bad faith and withholding funds. NRA CEO Doug Hamlin stated the foundation has declined to approve 2026 grant funding, jeopardizing programs like the NRA National Firearms Museum and Eddie Eagle GunSafe program. On January 5, 2026, the National Rifle Association filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against its affiliated charitable arm, the NRA Foundation. The complaint asserts NRA ownership of trademarks and intellectual property used by the Foundation, alleges the Foundation's leadership (described as a disgruntled faction of former NRA directors) is operating in bad faith, misleading donors, withholding or misappropriating funds intended for NRA charitable programs, and attempting to break away. The suit seeks to prevent trademark infringement, unfair competition, and separation from the NRA. REVIEWS by Listener What's frustrating you most in gun culture right now?

What is the oddest, or most expensive fix you've ever done to get a trash gun running? For yourself, friend, customer, anyone. I got a Turkish 410 AR upper to play around with. Put it on a known functioning lower with their supplied modified buffer because the proprietary BCG is slightly longer. Slam fired half a magazine. Looked it over, tried a different lower with their other buffer they supplied. Slam fired 3 rounds, had an out of battery, sheared the bolt off. Sent it back. They sent me a whole new upper right around the same time I listened to the last episode you had Foxtrot Mike on. They were talking about slam firing 9mm and buffer weights. I immediately picked up a couple recoil mitigation buffers for PCCs. When the new 410 upper showed up I weighed the supplied buffers to

Most people buying a mobile home in California go through the manufactured home park approval process and never saw it coming. They got approved by the lender. They had the down payment. And then the park said no.There are a lot of moving parts to mobile home financing California buyers almost always underestimate. The interest rates are higher than a traditional loan. The terms are shorter. Space rent counts against your debt-to-income ratio. And there are two completely separate approvals you have to pass, one with the lender and one with the park itself. Most buyers only know about one of them.In this episode, I brought back Michael Yates to break down exactly how manufactured home loans in California work, what the real requirements are, and what can quietly kill your deal before you even know it's in trouble.Here is what we cover:✅ Why the manufactured home park approval can reject you even after your lender says yes✅ The June 15, 1976 cutoff date that changes everything about your manufactured home down payment✅ How manufactured home interest rates compare to traditional loans and what to expect✅ What space rent on a mobile home actually is and why it affects your loan qualification✅ How to get as little as 5% down with no PMI on a mobile home on lease land✅ Whether FHA, VA, or conventional loans work for these properties (the answer will surprise you)✅ What documents you need and how manufactured home loan requirements differ from a standard mortgage✅ Why buying in cash does not mean you skip the park approval, this one catches people off guardIf you are seriously looking at a manufactured home as an affordable option to stay in California, keep that in mind before you fall in love with a unit. Know the rules first. This episode gives you all of them.

I break down why life is a results based game, no matter your job or situation. I talk about how people can fake images, metrics, and identity online, but they cannot fake real outcomes that come with cost and consequence. Even at the end of life, what people remember is what actually got done, not what was planned or imagined. I also explain how in today's world, standing out is no longer about looking different, but about producing results that are real and irreversible. At the end of the day, what's real always shows itself through consequences, not talk. Show Notes: [04:21]#1 Manufactured signals collapse under scrutiny.

A mom makes breakfast in her kitchen, an American flag behind her, and tells you how AI helps her stay organized and why it matters that we keep building it here in the US. It feels like a real person sharing a real opinion. It isn't. She was paid up to $5,000 to read a script — and she was told specifically not to reveal who was funding it. Once you know that, you can't watch your feed the same way again. In this episode, I pull apart a campaign that Wired exposed: a $140 million super PAC and its dark-money arm, backed by some of the biggest names in AI, quietly paying lifestyle influencers to make you afraid of China. But I'm not standing on the outside of this looking in. I use AI every single day, I love it, I built an entire challenge around it… and the same companies building the tools I rely on are running a fear campaign to keep me compliant. So I trace the machine all the way back to a Cold War lie most Americans have forgotten — and I hand you the one test I now run on my own marketing to make sure I never end up on the wrong side of that line. Key Highlights: ◼️The “Doom Loop” — how fear creates urgency, urgency creates permission, and permission creates money… and the $500B “Stargate” announcement the whole loop was built to justify ◼️The $140M “Leading the Future” super PAC and its dark-money arm paying influencers $5,000 a video to deliver scripted anti-China talking points — with explicit instructions never to disclose who's paying ◼️The forgotten 1957 “missile gap” — how defense contractors and a presidential campaign manufactured a Soviet threat the classified briefings proved never existed, running the exact same two-belief playbook ◼️”Manufactured inevitability” — the persuasion move of eliminating every option except the one that profits the seller (build faster… or the enemy wins) ◼️The “Disclosure Test” — the single question to run on your own urgency: if your audience knew exactly how and why you created it, would they still respect you? Here's what makes this so hard to see: the most dangerous propaganda always has a kernel of truth buried inside it, because the truth is what makes the lie invisible. China is real. AI is real. And the fear is being engineered by the exact same companies that win the contracts when you give in to it — all of it true at the same time. The machine runs on fear, and right now $140 million is being spent to keep you locked inside the loop. So now that you can see it, the only question left is the one that actually matters: are you going to let it run you… or are you going to learn this technology well enough to build something of your own? ◼️AI SECRETS CHALLENGE: Most people are either afraid of AI or using it as a toy. Russell built a challenge that teaches you how to actually MAKE MONEY with AI — not just be productive, but build real income. The best defense against being manipulated by AI companies is understanding the technology well enough to profit from it yourself. → https://www.AISecretsChallenge.com ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

Jeffrey Epstein weaponized silence by turning it into both a shield and a currency. He used money, legal force, intimidation, and psychological manipulation to ensure that the truth about his crimes stayed buried. Survivors were silenced through a combination of nondisclosure agreements, confidential settlements, and the constant threat of being crushed financially or reputationally if they spoke out. Epstein understood that isolation was power: young victims were made to believe no one would listen, that they would be discredited, or that speaking would only invite pain. Silence wasn't just encouraged—it was engineered, reinforced by lawyers who treated secrecy as a business model and institutions that found it more convenient to look away than to confront what he was doing.Epstein extended this strategy outward, using silence as leverage over powerful people and systems. His connections in politics, finance, academia, and law enforcement created a chilling effect where questions were discouraged and scrutiny was deflected. The 2008 non-prosecution agreement institutionalized that silence, protecting Epstein while gagging victims and shielding co-conspirators from exposure. Media hesitancy, prosecutorial inaction, sealed records, and backroom deals all worked in tandem to maintain the quiet. In the end, Epstein didn't just evade justice through wealth and influence—he constructed a vacuum where truth suffocated, and that silence became the most effective tool in sustaining his criminal enterprise for decades.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein's most powerful ally was silence | Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky | The GuardianBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mexican authorities broke down the door of a Puerto Vallarta villa in March 2018. Keith Raniere, the man who required followers to call him Vanguard, was found hiding in a closet. His follower Lauren Salzman tried to stop the agents. He stayed hidden.The arrest came months after the New York Times exposed the existence of a secret inner circle within NXIVM. The FBI investigated. Raniere fled to Mexico and was tracked down and extradited. A federal judge denied bail. His trial in Brooklyn lasted six weeks and featured testimony from former followers and one cooperating co-defendant who described the organization's inner workings in detail.In June 2019, the jury convicted Raniere on all seven federal counts: racketeering, wire fraud conspiracy, forced labor conspiracy, and trafficking among them. In October 2020, he was sentenced to 120 years in prison after the court heard impact statements from fifteen women.Since the conviction, Raniere has pursued every available legal avenue. His direct appeal was denied by the Second Circuit in 2022. The Supreme Court declined his first cert petition in 2023. His claim that the FBI fabricated evidence was rejected at the trial level and on appeal. A second cert petition is now before the Supreme Court. A habeas corpus petition raising ineffective-counsel claims is on hold.The pattern is clear: every motion denied, every argument rejected.Part three of a four-part Hidden Killers investigation into NXIVM and Keith Raniere.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He called himself Vanguard. He claimed to be a once-in-a-generation intellect. When authorities came for him, Keith Raniere was crouched in a closet in Mexico while his follower confronted armed agents on his behalf.The investigation began after a 2017 exposé brought the secret inner circle into public view. The FBI raided NXIVM co-founder Nancy Salzman's home. Raniere had already fled to Mexico. On March 26, 2018, he was arrested in Puerto Vallarta and extradited to Brooklyn, where a federal judge denied bail and designated him a flight risk.The six-week trial in 2019 built a methodical case through cooperating witnesses, financial records, and digital evidence. Lauren Salzman testified in detail about the hierarchy, the control, and the arrest. The jury convicted Raniere on all seven counts. He was sentenced to 120 years after fifteen women delivered impact statements to the court.Every legal challenge since has failed. The Second Circuit denied his direct appeal. The Supreme Court denied certiorari. His claim that the FBI manufactured evidence was rejected by the trial judge and unanimously upheld on appeal. As of early 2026, a second cert petition is before the Supreme Court and a habeas petition remains on hold.He has been told no at every level. He keeps filing.Part three of a four-part Hidden Killers investigation into NXIVM and Keith Raniere.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We will be discussing topics like Operation Mongoose, Plum Island tick weaponization theories, the eerie similarities between masks in pop culture and the TV series V, and the constant drumbeat of outbreak fear campaigns. We also examine how programs like Cash for Clunkers and the rise of vehicle leasing may have quietly shifted culture away from ownership and independence. SUPPORTBuy Me A Coffee http://buymeacoffee.com/DangerousinfopodcastSubscribeStar http://bit.ly/42Y0qM8Super Chat Tip https://bit.ly/42W7iZHBuzzsprout https://bit.ly/3m50hFTPaypal http://bit.ly/3Gv3ZjpPatreon http://bit.ly/3G3Support the show using Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/dangerousinfopodcast SMART is the acronym that was created by technocrats that have setup the "internet of things" that will eventually enslave humanity to their needs.

Here's a headline that accidentally tells the truth about modern media, Leftism, and pop culture:“Porn star and Miami fan Abella Danger shown on ESPN again as she cries after watching Hurricanes lose national title.”That is not satire. That is not Babylon Bee. That is a real headline, written by real people, published without shame, and treated as legitimate cultural content.Let's start with the obvious. The fact that the words porn and star now sit together like old friends tells you how low the bar has sunk. We have redefined “stardom” to mean “someone filmed themselves having sex and didn't trip over the camera.” No achievement. No craft. No contribution. Just exposure, literally.I know. This is where the cultural hall monitors accuse me of sounding like the old guy at the party. Fine. I'll own it. Because if noticing that ESPN thinks a porn actress crying over a football game is worth airtime makes me old, then maturity has officially gone extinct.And that's the point.The media is no longer interested in news, excellence, or seriousness. It is interested in spectacle, infantilization, and emotional pornography. A porn actress crying because a football team lost is not sports journalism. It is not even entertainment. It's filler for a culture that has nothing left to say.And this didn't happen by accident.This is what Leftism produces when it runs out of ideas. When there is no policy success to trumpet, no moral authority to claim, and no results to defend, you pivot to vibes, tears, sex, and identity. You distract. You deflect. You regress.Meanwhile, Donald Trump keeps moving forward. That contrast is the story.The Media Became Juvenile Because Trump Became EffectiveAsk yourself a simple question. Why is the media obsessed with nonsense right now?Porn stars in the stands. Crying celebrities. Outrage panels about hand gestures. Manufactured scandals about tone, posture, and decorum. Anything but outcomes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if Russiagate wasn't merely a political scandal, but a case study in modern perception management? Tonight on Strange Planet, Richard Syrett speaks with author Drew Thomas Allen about intelligence leaks, media amplification, Crossfire Hurricane, the Steele dossier, and the growing fear that information itself has become the battlefield of the digital age. GUEST: Drew Thomas Allen is a political commentator, author, and host known for his deep dives into media manipulation, institutional power, and modern political warfare. In Clinton Hoax, Obama Coup: The Declassified Story of the Trump–Russia Delusion, Allen examines declassified memos, intelligence operations, FBI investigations, and the evolution of narrative management in the digital era, arguing that Russiagate exposed far more than partisan conflict.

What happens when a doctor starts questioning the very system he was trained in? In this eye-opening and deeply important conversation, Darin Olien sits down with physician and metabolic health expert Dr. Dan Reardon to unpack the exploding GLP-1 weight loss drug phenomenon, the collapse of foundational health principles, and the dangerous trend of masking chronic disease instead of addressing root causes. Together, they dive into protein myths, obesity culture, pharmaceutical incentives, body positivity, metabolic dysfunction, chronic disease, and the growing "Wild West" of weight-loss injections like semaglutide and Mounjaro. But this conversation goes much deeper than weight loss. Dr. Reardon reveals his revolutionary focus on "deprescribing" medications—helping patients safely come off statins, blood pressure medications, psychiatric drugs, and GLP-1 injections by restoring the body's innate healing systems. This episode is a powerful exploration of personal sovereignty, metabolic health, medical integrity, and why the human body may be far more intelligent than modern medicine gives it credit for. What You'll Learn Why the current protein obsession may be misunderstood How the body recycles amino acids and adapts to exercise The hidden problems with ultra-high protein consumption Why GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and Mounjaro are raising serious concerns The cultural shift from body positivity to weight-loss injections The pharmaceutical industry's incentives around obesity medications Why most people using GLP-1 drugs are not changing their lifestyle habits The side effects associated with semaglutide and related drugs How chronic disease is often treated symptomatically instead of at the root cause Why Dr. Reardon focuses on "deprescribing" medications The importance of metabolic health and foundational lifestyle medicine How modern medicine often ignores why symptoms are

"The human body is not broken: it is adaptive, intelligent, and constantly responding to the environment it's placed in. Modern medicine often suppresses symptoms without asking why they exist in the first place. Real healing begins when we stop chasing shortcuts, start addressing root causes, and create the conditions for the body to do what it was designed to do all along: heal, regulate, and thrive."

 “What if the most resilient asset class in real estate has been hiding in plain sight for decades?” In this episode, Nasir Ali shares how his family leveraged over 45 years of manufactured housing expertise, spanning 10,000+ pads and institutional-scale portfolios valued in the billions, to transform underperforming communities into stable, high-yield, inflation-resistant assets. Ali breaks down why manufactured housing communities outperform many traditional asset classes during both strong and weak economies, how his vertically integrated model solves affordability and occupancy challenges, and why tenant retention in this space creates a fundamentally different business model than multifamily. He also dives into market cycles, geopolitical risks, commercial real estate defaults, and why upcoming economic shifts may create major opportunities for investors prepared to act creatively. From generational knowledge transfer and operational experience to financing structures, value-add strategies, and the evolving institutional demand for manufactured housing, this episode delivers a masterclass on one of the most misunderstood sectors in real estate investing today. 5 Key Takeaways to learn from this episodeManufactured housing thrives in both strong and weak economies As the most affordable form of housing, demand often increases during economic downturns. Occupancy growth creates massive value-add opportunities Many communities remain under-occupied due to installation and financing barriers that operators can solve strategically. Vertically integrated operations increase profitability Combining community ownership, home sales, financing, and management creates multiple profit centers within one asset. Tenant retention is fundamentally different from multifamily Residents often own their homes, reducing turnover and many traditional landlord headaches. Economic downturns create opportunities for prepared investors Creative financing, seller financing, and distressed opportunities may become more common as market conditions tighten. About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Procrastination isn't ruining your plans because you “lack discipline.” It's ruining your plans because your brain is doing exactly what it evolved to do: chase what feels urgent right now and ignore what only becomes painful later.I'm Angela Shurina, and I'm walking you through the mindset skill I rely on to finish the work that builds a great life, even when there's no deadline, no boss, and no one watching. We dig into a simple truth of human behavior: you don't get done what's important, you get done what's urgent. So the real upgrade is learning to choose your urgencies instead of letting the world choose them for you. I share the “fire under your ass” approach, a metacognition tool (thinking about your thinking) that helps decade-long goals feel real today, whether that's writing a book, building a business, improving your fitness, or showing up for the relationships that matter most. You'll also hear why small neglected problems can create bigger damage than big obvious ones, and how to stop letting tiny delays snowball into expensive emergencies.If you want practical self-coaching language you can use the next time you're tempted to skip, this is a must-listen.Subscribe, share this with a friend who's stuck, and leave a rating and review so more people can build urgency for the life they actually want.You can book your free Mindset Coaching session here: https://calendly.com/angelashurina/executive-momentum-360Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

What if the most "boring" corner of real estate was actually one of the most recession-resilient ways to build durable cash flow, especially when inflation runs hot and interest rates stay high? In this episode, Matthew Riccadella breaks down why manufactured housing communities can see demand rise when the economy gets choppy and why that demand can translate into real pricing power.   Matthew Ricciardella is the founder and CEO of Crystal View Capital, a private equity real estate firm specializing in value add manufactured housing communities and self-storage. With over 20 years in real estate, over one billion in transactions as a principal, and more than 650 million in assets overseen across multiple funds, Matt shares the fundamentals that actually protect investor capital: disciplined underwriting, conservative assumptions, and operational execution that drives net operating income. If you're an investor who wants more than hype, this is for you. You'll hear how Matt finds win-win deals with mom-and-pop owners, what operational refinements can double or triple operating income in the first five years, and why vertical integration (managing assets in-house) helps you control performance instead of handing your destiny to a third party. 5 Powerful Takeaways How to make offers like a pro using comps, rehab costs, holding costs, and exit strategy so emotion never touches your numbers Why manufactured housing communities can be recession resilient as affordable housing demand rises when inflation runs hot and interest rates stay high The simplest way to increase net operating income fast: raise occupancy, pass through water and sewer costs, and stack multiple operational refinements What "vertical integration" really means and how managing your own assets protects performance when things don't go as planned How to think about returns as cash flow plus upside, and why conservative cap rate and debt assumptions can keep you from getting crushed About the Guest Matthew Ricciardella is the founder and CEO of Crystal View Capital, a private equity real estate firm specializing in value add manufactured housing communities and self-storage. He's been in real estate for over 20 years and has been a principal in over one billion in transactions. Matt currently oversees more than 650 million in assets across multiple funds and is known for disciplined underwriting, operational execution, and treating investors like true partners. His philosophy is simple and rare: buy right, operate well, and build durable cash flow without hype or financial gymnastics.

The murder trial surrounding conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk is already spiraling beyond true crime into something darker: political theater, forensic controversy, media manipulation, and mounting public distrust. Richard Syrett speaks with attorney and broadcaster John Gordon about shaky narratives, courtroom spectacle, unanswered questions, and whether America is witnessing justice, or narrative management in real time. GUEST: John Gordon is the host of the syndicated radio program The Truth with John Gordon, a Mercer University Law School graduate, former journalist, and former candidate for Georgia Attorney General. Blending legal analysis with investigative skepticism, Gordon has closely followed the Charlie Kirk/Tyler Robinson murder case, raising provocative questions about forensic evidence, courtroom transparency, media narratives, and the growing collapse of public trust in American institutions.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene interviews Amanda Cruise, founder of Voyage Investing, who shares how she built a business focused on manufactured housing and mobile home parks. Amanda walks through her journey from the corporate world into real estate, starting with a duplex before discovering the scalability and opportunity within mobile home investing. Amanda explains how she transitioned from small "Lonnie deals" into owning mobile home parks, highlighting why the asset class offers strong cash flow and demand due to its role in affordable housing. She also breaks down the realities of the space, including the operational complexity, management challenges, and why it's not as passive as many investors assume. The conversation explores how mobile home park investing has evolved, with increased competition from private equity and investors shifting from multifamily into the space. Amanda shares how to evaluate deals today, including the importance of understanding infrastructure, market growth, and realistic business plans rather than relying on outdated strategies or overly optimistic projections. Jonathan and Amanda also discuss the differences between active and passive investing, emphasizing that while mobile home parks can be powerful investments, they require the right operator and thorough due diligence. They highlight the risks of chasing high returns without understanding the underlying deal and why investor education is critical in today's market. In this episode, you will hear: • How Amanda Cruise got started in real estate and transitioned into mobile home parks • Why mobile home parks can generate strong cash flow but require active management • How the asset class has become more competitive with private equity entering the space • What investors need to understand about infrastructure, market selection, and deal evaluation • The difference between active and passive investing and how to choose the right approach Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Thanks bru. Thanks bru. Thank you, bru. By episode twelve, Jordy Smith had become StabMic's absent father figure. Big Bru was mentioned constantly, looming every conversation. Dooma, especially unable to stop himself, damp-eyed, remembering him. Sooner or later, the spectre had to sit in the chair. So here he is. Jordy Smith joins Dane and Dooma on episode 13 of StabMic to discuss everything from rectal and scrotal trauma, the latter attributed to a swift kick from Andy Irons, the limitations of wavepools, and the mainstream-media–manufactured rivalry that defined their early careers. Among other highly specialised matters of public interest. Enjoy the episode.

The line between the internet and the streets has officially vanished. This week's rundown tracks the viral clips, radical agitators, pundits, politicians, and public figures responsible for the political violence exploding across the country — from the 2026 WHCD Trump assassination attempt and beyond. We expose the Left-wing extremists and ex-MAGA-tier provocateurs who are weaponizing the algorithm to tear the country apart. We're breaking down the raw footage of the clashes, the rage-baiting scams, and the "Key Players" fueling the fire — from Gavin Newsom's elite Corporate Left posturing to Hasan Piker's radical socialist stream-room rhetoric. If it's high-stakes, high-conflict, and high-engagement, we're dissecting it. The WHCD Shooting & Cole Tomas Allen: We dive into the chaos of the Hilton attack and the security failure it laid bare. From the "Friendly Federal Assassin" manifesto to the viral raw footage of the Secret Service evacuation, we examine whether Cole Tomas Allen is a lone wolf or the inevitable product of digital radicalization fed by the Resistance's most reckless voices. The Rage-Bait Grifters: We expose the "main characters" of the week. Whether it's staged confrontations for clicks or the calculated rage-baiting of the 2026 election cycle, we name names — from Tucker Carlson to Nick Fuentes to Candace Owens — and show exactly how they're profiting off your anger. Socialist Streamers vs. The Establishment: Hasan Piker, Gavin Newsom, Hakeem Jeffries, Ilhan Omar, and Ro Khanna come from different ends of the spectrum, but is their MAGA-target rhetoric the same? Black-pilled Gen Z has taken to TikTok with claims of a false flag.

8. The Billiard Kings and Remarkable Upward Mobility The partnership of Michael Phelan and Hugh Collenderrevolutionized American billiards by patenting improved table cushions. Their business was so successful that they manufactured a gold-ornamented pool table for General Ulysses S. Grant, which was later installed in the White House. At its peak, their massive factory spanned an entire city block on New York's 10th Avenue. Tyler Anbinder concludes that the history of Famine immigrants is one of surprising upward mobility. Despite facing intense discrimination and lacking formal education, many Irish individuals proved to be highly ambitious and entrepreneurial, successfully navigating the socioeconomic ladder to improve their lives in America. 8111886 EVICTION
