One of the things I've said repeatedly, which people keep forgetting, is that JD Vance was originally a product of the Obama-Chicago-Pritzker Democrat machine and that he was designed to be a Democrat Presidential candidate. JD Vance came out of the network which is now attacking him. Behind the scenes, all of these people know each other, and it's all intensely personal. He was supposed to be Bill Clinton 2.0, a moderate Democrat candidate. That's what the multiracial marriage was about. It was supposed to be a symbolic political marriage union between America's 2 key groups, America's past and America's future: the white working class (traditional Blue Dog Democrat Bill Clinton voters) and the immigrant Obama voter base (Usha Vance, as a credentialed second-generation immigrant brown woman who clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, and as a woman who attended Cambridge and Yale Law School, was supposed to represent an aspirational rolemodel of an immigrant family rising to be an American elite). It was the Democrat media which promoted JD Vance. It was the Democrat media which promoted his book "Hillbilly Elegy" and turned it into a Netflix big budget film directed by Ron Howard and starring Amy Adams. It was the Democrat patronage network which built JD Vance up as a reaction to President Trump, in an attempt to capture Trump's white working class voter base. The union vote and Rustbelt vote which Obama had alienated. On February 9th, 2017, at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics, JD Vance taped an interview with Obama's top advisor, David Axelrod, about why President Trump had been elected and how the Democrat Party could potentially recapture the low-propensity white working-class Rustbelt union vote. To rebuild the Bill Clinton political coalition. JD Vance was supposed to be the new Bill Clinton. That's why the Democrats were building him up as their champion. Democrats went all-in on transgender child castration, deindustrialization, mass migration, and genocidal hatred towards whites. They believed they didn't need white voters anymore. This is why JD Vance flipped to the Peter Thiel network and later went from Trump enemy to being incorporated into the Trump MAGA coalition. When President Trump picked JD Vance, he was taking a former Democrat presidential candidate and incorporating one of his biggest competitors into his own power base. Very Lincoln-esque, "Team of Rivals". President Trump has been incorporating all of the best ex-Democrat talent: Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Marc Andreessen, Mark Zuckerberg, Chamath Palihapitiya, Shaun Maguire, Bill Ackman, Larry Fink, etc.. Scott Bessent was George Soros's Top Guy, now he's President Trump's ferocious homosexual loyalist. Democrats abandoned their historical political constituencies and accidentally pushed all their best talent to the other team. They created a rival counterelite coalition which is now destroying them.

Sometimes I just sit there and realize my entire net worth is basically an internet money that most of my friends still think is a scam and a leveraged company that buys that internet money. And somehow this still feels like the most rational portfolio I’ve ever had.

HE BUILT HIS MAILBOX LIKE A HOUSE FOUNDATION!! Smart move, or a lawsuit waiting to happen? He says his mailbox has been hit over and over, so this version is six by six posts sunk about four feet into two and a half yards of concrete, roughly 4,000 pounds by his count. He says he chased the last driver who hit it all the way home and their insurance paid. The clip opens and closes on a truck lying on its side next to it at night. Part of me loves this. If you keep taking out a man's mailbox, eventually he stops building mailboxes and starts building bunkers. And nobody hits a mailbox sitting on its own post at the edge of the yard by accident eight times unless they're flying down that road. The other part of me knows how this goes. Somebody's teenager swerves for a deer, and now a concrete block is the reason they're in the hospital. Plenty of towns have rules about what you can put that close to the road for exactly that reason. I'd probably split the difference. Build it tough, put reflectors on it, and call the county about speed on that road. Then go get the mail like a normal person. Either way, slow down on his street.
