Book of Days for Dominari & Trump Boys

Trump II is not slowing down in his drive to achieve a net worth of $200 billion by January 2029 and neither are his boys.  

Barron has been floated as a possible Tik Tok USA board member.  Don Jr. and Eric add a new crypto venture almost weekly.  The latest comes  via Dominari Holdings, where both men sit on the board of advisors (alongside other Trump Organization executives) and have huge stakes in another Dominari investment, American Bitcoin.  

Dominari celebrated its approval as a NYSE limited underwriting member on Thursday.  Today it added another crypto venture to its stable.

Bloomberg Law noted:

American Ventures, of which Dominari Holdings is the majority member, also made a strategic investment in Hemi blockchain.
Coindesk reported:
The joint venture between Dominari and Hemi will allow institutions to invest in BTC-centric markets via the HEMI token. 

As part of the joint venture American Ventures LLC, of which Dominari is a member, made an undisclosed investment in the Hemispheres Foundation, the principal stewards of the Hemi project. 
Hemi's goal is to transform the possibilities for decentralized finance (DeFi) on Bitcoin by unifying it with Ethereum into a single "supernetwork".
If Bitcoin is killer on its own and Ethereum rules too, what could be better than a combo?
Hemi is building infrastructure to make Bitcoin more compatible with DeFi, thus harnessing its $2.4 trillion market cap for the betterment of the wider digital asset industry.
A bankable combo.  Step right up to American Ventures LLC Series XXIII Hemi.  
Trump + Crypto + DeFi + 110 Front Street, Suite 300, Jupiter, Florida - Real Bank = Huh?

Who the heck knows as that address is a co-location office, renting virtual and real space as small as a desk and phone.


Ring... ring...  "Hello you've reached Suite 300.  For Total Life Learning press 1, CooperRx Strategy press 2, Regus Virtual Offices press 3 or American Ventures LLC press 4?"

My wise friend commented on the NYSE portion of the story: 

They built a desert for us and created an oasis for themselves. Because they were debanked, LOL    
KLEPTO NOSTRO - A new model of government where every avenue of rent seeking through extortionary measures creates flow for the shakedown artists known as the Trump family.  
Please sweet Jesus,  Take Me Already!
It's strange to see so much material focused on image vs. substance but that is the current way of our world.  If Jesus were here I'm pretty sure he would flip tables of digital coin hawkers, call out Trump II who speaks of faith at the National Prayer Breakfast while never mentioning Christ's name and tell Peter to re-sheathe his knife, lest that stir the National Guard.

Unfortunately there's a different Peter who has Trump and the economic world's attention, the "live forever on this earthly plane" version.  
TechGod Peter Thiel's recent lectures appear to mark an intensification of his anti-christ ideology and attempt to pitch it on a grander scale. The recordings offer new detail about how the billionaire seems to place those who would critique or regulate tech developers into a religious good-vs.-evil worldview, where the future of all creation depends on giving innovators free rein.

The Guardian reported

Thiel believes the harbinger of the end of the world could already be in our midst and that things such as international agencies, environmentalism and guardrails on technology could quicken its rise.

He said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: “It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money.
And they shall turn their brains over to AI, beat their swords into autonomous weapons and unsign The Giving Pledge.  TechGods have now usurped Revelations and intend to use it to herd the masses while manipulating the economic and political levers of power, as their PEU forefathers did before them.  

There once was a custom where people viewed paying their fair share in taxes as an important responsibility.  No more.  In the olden days government stepped in when businesses caused widespread harm and instituted regulations to keep workers, citizens, children and communities safe.  That's gone.  Long ago, money was money and a man's word was his bond.  This too, fell away.

How did it happen?  Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one and their sons are slated to become far richer than their fathers.  It's a grand time to be in charge for the taking is unfettered.

Update:  Local pastors pointed out Trump II's complete disconnection from Christ's teachings prior to his re-election.  Yet Peter Thiel thinks the "anti-Christ" will be some force that prevents TechGods from exercising free reign over all of society while tapping Uncle Sam's wallet for $ billions more than the grossly obscene amounts they've already purloined by subjecting the people who use their products to regular harm.  Thiel is a live forever creep imported from South Africa, like other major TechGods, Elon Musk and David Sacks.

Skydance Paramount Courting Apollo for Warner Bros. Deal


NYPo
reported:

Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison is in talks with major private equity firms to join his possible bid to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – a megadeal that could cost upwards of $60 billion, The Post has learned. 
Potential investors weighing the WBD deal include Apollo Global Management – the buyout giant
The man working with Ellison is "new legal chief, Makan Delrahim, the former Trump DOJ antitrust chief recently hired to do deals."  Delrahim's bio includes:

Prior to joining Paramount, Makan Delrahim was a Partner at Latham & Watkins LLP, where he has advised multiple clients navigating complex mergers and transactions, government investigations, and high-stakes crisis situations. Delrahim's clients have included, among others, private equity firms Apollo, Hellman & Friedman, KKR, and Silver Lake, Caesars Entertainment, Cox Media Group, Eldridge Industries, Endeavor/WME, FanDuel, LIV Golf, Oak View Group, Omnicom, Searchlight Capital, Ultimate Fighting Championship, and World Poker Tour.
Makan Delrahim also worked as an Assistant Chief of the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department where he was:.
"highly regarded for his effective leadership of the division's work in entertainment, media and sports, restructuring the antitrust division to create sections that oversee media and entertainment as well as fintech and financial services."

If Delrahim had been tougher regarding antitrust would he be in the position he is now?  Doubtful.

PEU "dry powder" has been a Lebron James pregame clap boon for sports investing.   Look under the hood of any professional sports league and one is liable to find a PEU, maybe several.  That league may also be bolted to a Middle East sovereign wealth fund.

The thought of the greed and leverage boys joining with the son of a TechGod to determine what entertainment is available, well that's Halloween level frightening.  

Remember Apollo co-founder Leon Black provided $170 million in funding for Jeffrey Epstein and paid another $62.5 million to settle any criminal liability with the Virgin Islands.  Combined that's enough money to tip a Presidential election (like TechGod Elon Musk in 2024).  Speaking of such, Trump II does not want the Epstein files released and he would need to approve a Paramount Skydance buyout of Warner Bros. Might a condition be no news coverage of Epstein's victims during their predator name release? 

On the surface there is much unnerving about any deal and its players.  Underneath, it's likely far more disturbing than even PEUReport can imagine.

Gaza: Board of Piece (of Shiny PEU Silver)


The "peace" that private equity underwriters (PEU) brought to your workplace teamed up with Middle East monarchs to "save" the people of Gaza.  

Affinity Partners Jared Kushner helped design the plan.  Affinity hold billions in Saudi PIF funds and similar vast amounts from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.  Kushner is not the only greed and leverage boy in the mix.  

BBC reported two members of the proposed Board overseeing Gaza:

"Board of Peace" headed and chaired by Trump and involving former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Tony Blair has long been a PEU fan boy and made serious money since his public service.  He also has a sixteen year history of tampering in Gaza.

Trump II is doing every job other than his current one.  The man who "solved a 3,000 year war" can't get a budget deal from a Congress? 

We'll see how long the Trump PEU solution lasts in Gaza.  Economic "freedom" is holding so far in China, Saudi Arabia and other oppressive countries as rights are lost left and right in established democracies.

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one and their sons are slated for wealth far greater than their fathers.  It's a grand time to be in charge for the taking is unfettered.

Barron Trump: Record Rise of the PEUtocracy?


A close Trump advisor threw Barron Trump's name in the ring for a Tik Tok USA board seat.  Naming the 19 year old son of our current president to such a board would eclipse the record set by Chelsea Cliinton.  Chlesea was named to the IAC board at the age of 31.  Even before obtaining his undergraduate business degree Barron could on the board of a private equity underwriter (PEU) affiliate "club" deal.

The PEUtocracy has been working hard on behalf of their sons.  Nearly every deal has a Lutnick, Witcoff or Trump offspring associated with it.  Throw in a Middle East sovereign wealth fund and things get even less meritocratous for the average person.

Ladies and gentleman, forecasters predict severe turbulence ahead.  Buckle up and ready the barf bags.

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one and their sons shall be richer than their fathers.

K, K, K : What Does Your 401 Say about PEUs?



Two articles highlight the current state of the private equity underwriter (PEU).  First, PEUs have proliferated exponentially since the early 2000's.  Like a Big Mac I consider them the plaque in our economic and political sclerosis.  

Second, all these PEUs bid up asset prices to fill out their funds and they need another step level rise and interested buyers to exit their positions.
 

Trump II, the digital Caligula, opened your 401(k) for private equity and private credit investments.  Many investment advisors have willingly pushed those products as appropriate for a portion of retiree account holdings.  We can quibble over the size of that allocation but it should be money that you can 100% lose.  

Why are so many rolling the dice in the PEU space?  Because it's been a profitable game for the secret fee charging PEU.  What happens when that shifts?  

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.  Trump II's latest deal shows TechGods and PEUs as new investors in Tik Tok USA.  With that tool, will the greed and leverage boys finally get their message across?  Time will tell, tick, tock, tick, tock...

Another Trump Coin? It's Real!


Treasury Chief Scott Bessent's "praise the boss without ceasing" campaign entered new territory with the proposal of a Trump $1 coin issued by the U.S. government.  The Trump family has panned the federal currency and America's banking system with a series of memecoins, tokens and stablecoin offerings.  

Who knew Trump II, the digital Caligula, appreciated the hard currency?  Anything with his face and name on it is an opportunity to earn a deal or licensing fee.  

The just announced TrumpRx came out of Health and Human Services and its Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services.  Details are sketchy but that's expected as appointees slather to set up perpetual fee generating arrangements for the wider Trump organization.

The pressure is on within the Trump cabinet to beat their peers in the "praise without ceasing" category.  Praise includes compliments, name rights and licensing arrangements/deal fees.   
this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles.
Yes, the immense obstacle of young men immersed in a digital world of violent video games, irony and manipulated by evil forces to make their mark by assassinating someone influential.  

Also Congress passed a law in 1866 that prohibits living Presidents from appearing on U.S. currency. 
“No coin issued may bear the image of a living former or current President,” says the federal law − 31 U.S. Code 5112 regarding coin denominations, specifications, and design
Laws mean nothing to Trump II and little to the Supremes.  Thus, there may be yet another Trump coin.  How long before he's the face on the $1 trillion bill?

Trump the AI Creeper

>

Trump II posted an AI video of himself as the Cowbell King of Death. He unleashes OMB Chief Russ Vought to harvest federal jobs as a Grim Reaper.  It echoes decades of job slashing by private equity underwriters (PEU) and TechGods.  

Trump and AI are perfect for one another as both are rife with errors but pretend to offer perfection. 

Trump II's Reign of Ignoble Irreality is clear for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

Politicians Red and Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren (who've decided to play the same political influence game).  Increasingly, more are one.  

Update:  AI video has quickly joined social media in proliferating widespread harm:
“Synthetic media machines, whether designed to extrude text, images or video, are a scourge on our information ecosystem,” Bender said. “Their outputs function analogously to an oil spill, flowing through connections of technical and social infrastructure, weakening and breaking relationships of trust.”

Trump II is a voracious consumer and spreader of same.  TechGods suck.
