4,000 current and former SpaceX employees are already mapping out plans to spend their anticipated wealth from the company’s expected initial public offering, with luxury real estate, high-end watches, and private jet travel topping their wish lists. Even the company’s cafeteria workers are expected to cash in on the rocket-based gravy train. CNBC reports that the SpaceX IPO is expected to create thousands of new millionaires and several billionaires among the company’s workforce. Although employees will not be able to sell their shares immediately due to standard lockup periods, many are already planning how to allocate their newfound wealth.

Damn that Elon Musk! Creating more evil million and billionaires. Creating wealth for his workers, investors, and businesses associated with Space X. Sure, the Space X stock will also help increase the value of people's 401ks, mutual funds, and other investments but that evil Musk is just another greedy billionaire (now trillionaire) who hoards all the weath for himself. Oh, and keeps all of the scientific advancements of Space X for himself, never sharing anything with anyone.

I like it #2. And while we’re at it. Those cretin low-life’s, Komrad Bern and Lieawatha. Let’s tax them into oblivion. There are some families in rural America who look at them as (filthy) rich. “Rich” has 360 million different definitions. Let’s ask Maybelle and Jim Bob in Appalachia what “rich” means. Then let’s confiscate 2 of Bern’s 3 homes and maybe a case of beer from Lieawatha….you know….just to even things out. And to close: huge dollars aside. I’ll bet Elon is a neat person to work for.

U.S. House Republicans passed their No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026 on June 10, marking the end of a 3-month effort to pass the bill through the House of Representatives. The bill, originally introduced to the floor by Congressman Burgess Owens of Utah in March 2026, seeks to crack down on criminals who pocket financial aid. These criminals — “ghost students” — are thieves who impersonate higher education students to enroll in courses and receive federal financial aid that they can steal. The problem has grown since 2019, prompted by an increase in online courses being offered. The No Aid for Ghost Students Act would require

A mock-up for a new memorial on the National Mall drew criticism from Republicans and veterans after it was revealed by the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation on Thursday. Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN), who served in Afghanistan, called the proposal a disgrace. “Thousands of heroic Americans sacrificed everything in service to our nation during the Global War on Terror,” Banks said. “These were real people with real stories. They deserve to be honored with dignity, not disconnected abstract art.” The memorial honors the fallen service members who served in the global war on terrorism. Standing in the National Mall, the memorial is positioned to align directly with

Opendoor, a U.S. real estate technology company, is shutting down its entire operations in India, the CEO announced Wednesday. CEO Kaz Nejatian announced the move as part of Opendoor 2.0, the company’s push to simplify operations, use more AI, and better serve American customers. The company is bringing the work back to the U.S., which will affect about 250 employees in Chennai and Bengaluru, India. It’s important to note that this is not about creating a flood of new American jobs. Opendoor is simply getting smaller in total headcount. The company recently had around 1,400 employees and is deliberately reducing its offshore staff in India to utilize its emerging AI tools.

If you ask, many Americans will tell you that one of the things they hate most about "the swamp," Washington, D.C., is the fact that once a congressman or senator gets elected, pulling them out of said swamp is next to impossible, and the result is geriatric lawmakers being wheeled around in wheelchairs. It's certainly not what the Founding Fathers intended. Now, one House member may have the answer to this dilemma. Republican Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) has introduced a bill that would end both pay and power for House and Senate members who have reached 12 years of service in their respective legislative bodies.

Well, that didn’t last long. On June 2, President Trump appointed Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence, replacing Tulsi Gabbard, who stepped down following her husband’s diagnosis with a rare bone cancer. He will officially transition to the role on June 19. That announcement was met with swift resistance from Democrats and even some Republicans who said he was unqualified for the role and had no prior experience. He had also severely hurt the feelings of the Dems by referring Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, and NY Attorney General Letitia James to the Justice Department for mortgage fraud. On Thursday,

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Thursday released documents showing that former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci had deep, decades-long ties with the U.S. intelligence community that predate the COVID-19 pandemic by nearly 20 years. In the timeline produced by the chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Paul chronicles extensive communications and contacts between Fauci and spy agencies. For instance, when private emails show him alarmed by the COVID-19 virus’s engineered-looking features in January 2020, Fauci helped orchestrate the “Proximal Origin” paper that publicly dismissed a lab origin and instead argued that the virus emerged naturally. Fauci then quietly fed that same

Convicted killer Karmelo Anthony has claimed he’s “penniless” and can’t afford a lawyer for his appeal — despite his family collecting $625,000 in crowdfunding for his legal defense and “living expenses,” according to a report. Anthony, 19, made the assertion in a notice of appeal filed after he was found guilty of fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years behind bars, according to a report by ABC WFAA. Anthony — who was moved to a Texas state prison Wednesday — is “penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel to represent me on the appeal,” reads the appeal form.

On April 2, 2025, Karmelo Anthony went to Memorial High School looking for a fight. Though he was participating in a track meet, he felt the need to bring a knife in his backpack. Once at the school, he sat in the tent of the opposing team. When confronted by Austin Metcalf, who told him to leave, Anthony reached into his backpack and said, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf then grabbed Anthony in an attempt to forcibly move him out of the tent. Anthony then used his knife to stab Metcalf in the heart, killing him almost instantly. Touch me and see what happens. This is the ethos

Disgraced Democrat Hillary Clinton is continuing to perpetuate an old lie pushed by liberals to prevent election security. (X) “They’re trying to kick people off of voter rolls,” Clinton said of Republicans promoting basic election integrity measures. “They’re trying to demand…you know…forms of identification most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have. They are certainly redistricting to make it difficult to elect black representatives or Latino representatives or Democrats. So, that means that we have to be even more intentional in showing up and voting.” So most “real people” (whatever that means) don’t have a REAL ID driver’s license or a passport?

On Friday morning, Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in recorded human history. SpaceX began trading on the Nasdaq, opened 11 percent above its suggested IPO price, and Forbes estimated its net worth had crossed $1.1 trillion before noon Eastern. No person had ever done this before. Not even close. SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share on Thursday night, locking in a valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion before a single share changed hands. That made it the largest IPO in history, surpassing Saudi Aramco's $29 billion raise in 2019 by more than $45 billion. The company set its price before

Republican Mitt Romney – like Gabbard a former presidential candidate – accused her of spreading "treasonous lies" and "Russian propaganda," and many in the news media joined the chorus in a concerted effort to diminish the threat that U.S. tax dollars could one day lead to an accidental virus outbreak from one of those foreign labs. Four years later, Gabbard turned the tables in epic fashion.

There is growing momentum within the Democratic Party to find its next ObamaCare heading into the midterms, as healthcare costs become more untenable and American anger over affordability persists. Healthcare has consistently ranked as a top issue for voters heading into this year’s midterm elections. June polling from Emerson College found that healthcare ranked in the top five issues for voters, behind the economy, threats to democracy and immigration. The expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits dealt a heavy blow to Democrats in Congress, who carried out the longest government shutdown in history to get a vote on extending the subsidies.
