Nunes Set Aside, McGurn Elevated

Trump Media & Technology Group announced that CEO Devin Nunes is the latest "recipient of free time" to focus on a lesser position.  His resignation as CEO enables Nunes to devote time to his role as Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board and on other ventures.  

Nunes replacement?  Kevin McGurn of the multiple CEO roles.  Four months ago PEUReport noted:

Kevin McGurn is CEO of four SPACs and Sono Group. Five full time jobs for someone politically connected? That should sound familiar to those tracking insiders and the massive money that moves in their direction.

McGurn is also a private equity underwriter (PEU):

He is also a limited partner and strategic entrepreneurial advisor to Revel Partners, a venture capital firm focused on B2B SaaS and media innovation, and Alpine Meridian, a venture capital fund with investments across digital media and consumer technology.

On December 1, 2025 McGurn stated:

"CRO is a high-performance token, and Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, which wil aggregate CRO, is poised to unlock significant value for shareholders," said Kevin McGurn, CEO of Yorkville Acquisition Corp. "To capitalize on this opportunity, we need strong strategic partners in the industry and an experienced management team. We already had the partners; now we've added the team."

Sono Group N.V. refers to McGurn as its full time CEO.  They may or they may not be getting their money's worth.

Neither Sono or TMTG (ticker DJT) have any new SEC filings related to McGurn's changed role with their firm.    Most recent SEC filings on McGurn's compensation show:

• Yorkville Acquistion Corp - $15,000 monthly
• Sono Group N.V. - $33,300 monlthly
• Texas Ventures Acquisition III Corp - $15,000 monthly
• New America Acquistion I - 12.5 million founder shares in sponsor w/McGurn sole managing member
• Blue Water Acquisition III - $15,000 monthly
• TMTG advising or CEO compensation - no information to date
• Revel Partners or Alpine Meridian compensation - no information now or ever (PEU prerogative)

Nearly $80,000 per month in income plus the chance to cash in big on founder shares?  That's a pittance for the big money boys.  

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod/Cryptobro brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.

TechGods Objectifying Everything

TechGods posit that restrictions in AI development/use by governmental entities are the modern day manifestation of the anti-Christ .  Therefore, constraints on AI are evil and must be fought at all costs.

AI is even posed as virtuous, moral and divine while it undresses images of clothed children and steers teens to addiction, suicide and hate.  

TechGod Peter Thiel and Lecturer on the Anti-Christ launched an AI arbiter of "Truth."  It is called Objection.  

The algorithm scores anonymous material unfavorably:

Under the platform’s rubric, primary records like regulatory filings and official emails carry the most weight, while anonymous whistleblower claims are ranked near the bottom.

It sounds like a hegemonic tool for the people already in power.  

Who needs this level of investigative knowledge unless the aim is to counter government leakers sourcing news stories?

Objection customers pay $2,000 per perceived factual inaccuracy. Their website states:

Our investigators have complete editorial independence. They use standard investigative reporting techniques, which are protected by the First Amendment. Once they take on a case, they gather all available evidence, regardless of whose interests are affected. They are like freelance investigative journalists hired by a newsroom.

So it's an Objection contract journalist vs. a media contract journalist cage match.

Here's the process:

Not sure what an AI tribunal is but it likely ends with "the TechGod tribe has spoken."  

Objection's manifesto is garbage, like much of AI.  

I worked with a local newspaper publisher who had one critical test before running anything.  Is it true?  

Objection is a tool of, by and for TechGods.  It will frame issues they wish to force upon the public via their numerous avenues into our computers, eyes and brains.  And to that I object!  

Update 4-22-26:  My wise friend wrote:

So Peter Thiel has figured away to minimize the efforts of Daniel Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers) and Mark Felt (Watergate). Operation Whistleblower White Wash. 

All the news fit to remove the elite STINT!  Can't go to jail using our AI scale. The incriminating data ends up in the pail. 

Winning! The Anti Upton Sinclair.

Amazon may need Objection's help given its price fixing e-mails.  Not sure a certificate will do anything to help ChatGPT for helping plan a mass shooting at Florida State University.     

Lucky Palmer Shoots for $60 Billion Anduril Valuation

TechGods of War & Spying keep winning in the federal budget cash bonanza.  And they will to lie to our faces.

Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen and Joshua Kushner are the billionaire funders of firms living off the federal teat.  Thiel and Andreessen got in early when Anduril was valued at $1 billion.  Kushner got in later but has a double and a 6 bagger for Thrive's two investments.

The funding rounds are below:

Palmer is lucky to live in our world of fictions of fantasies where he (and other TechGods) can tell non-truths and deride others for knowing otherwise (that they are lying).  For many of us, it's rather confusing.

Some days it helps to realize:  Politicians Red & Blue love PEU (private equity underwriters) and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.  

Raise a PEU Glass to Nadia Partners

Nadia Partners is the latest private equity underwriter (PEU) to find West Texas attractive for investment.  Affiliate Beacon AI Centers will hold a public meeting this evening to talk about their AI data center in Dove Creek.  

I doubt any Nadia Partner will show.  They may be toasting from a considerable distance (Canada).  Beacon staff will entertain West Texans with their "massive scale."  Residents should be concerned about the scale of water usage and electrical power.  Will those be massive as well?  

Beacon's other projects use natural gas fired generators for power.  

According to ERCOT, two power projects are currently under development, Dove Creek Solar and Dove Creek Power.  It's not clear who is behind those, however Nadia has an affiliate that does both solar power and battery backup (Dromore Energy). 

Big money is behind Nadia, Beacon, Dromore and Nadia Partners' other affiliates (mostly AI).  Beacon's co-chair is a former Managing Partner and Chief Technology Officer for The Blackstone Group.

The State of Texas tilts toward corporations over citizens.  It's rules on surface water are a language in an of itself and favor water rights holders who regularly exercise those rights.  The only excess surface water in Texas is essentially flood water.  

Beacon's project is near two creeks, Spring Creek and Dove Creek.   Their land likely has water rights to Spring Creek and its Rust Reservoir.   

I wonder if Beacon executives realize downstream water users tend not to fare well, especially during our hot, dry summers when those rights are not accessible.  

That means punching a bunch of holes in the ground which can and likely will lower the water table.  Will it drop enough to stop all creek flow?  That's the worry. especially if the project doubles or triples the local population during building/power plant construction.

So raise a glass of fracking fluids to Nadia, Blackstone other big name investors and their facilitator, the State of Texas.  That's what our wells may be producing in ten years.  

Update 4-16-26:  The community of Dove Creek expressed their near universal opposition to the Beacon AI data center.  County Commissioner Shawn Nanny closed public feedback by joining his constituents in opposing the project.  

Fictions of Fantasies

The seer said:

"Throughout the whole market structure, I have never seen so many fraudulent people make so much friggin' money off the valuation of companies that make no money and even lose tons.

So many just plain borrow to exist, whether it be the Trumpsters or the venture capitalists or the goose egg Private Credit/ Private Equity/money managers. 

The extraordinary numbers,  based on fictions of fantasies, put productive work/ labor/ salaried people on a vessel in the sea without the ability to escape the vortex of debasement. 

Every day it's cheered and no one has a clue how this ends."

My wise friend could not have said it better.

On another issue he offered:

The whole country will need an adrenaline shot to the heart to get us out of this stupidness

Now where to locate the USA's posterior?

Saudi PIF May Push LIV to Curb for Lack of Green

The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) may drop LIV Golf.  Surely, they are tired of subsidizing "the product", which has failed to take hold.  

Also, there may be a message for Trump II after his disastrous war of choice on Iran.  LIV used Trump golf courses for a number of its U.S. events.  

An LIV event is scheduled for Trump National from May 7-10, 2026.  It is sponsored by a Saudi Mining Company.  Did Don Jr. or Eric get in on that deal?   They have dozens of their other ventures front-running Trump II's key strategies.

LIV, Golf but Louder.  

Trump II, Don but Mafia.  

Trump's protection racket may be disintegrating, like his frontal cortex.  Only the Crown Prince knows for sure.

General conclusion:  People don't like Louder or Mafia.  And they really don't like Loud Mafia, especially if the protection isn't there.  Take that to the bank.

Leaderboard Day $TRUMP Trading

Trump II brought down the price of VIP access for his $TRUMP meme-coin Dinner Extravaganza.  It dropped from roughly $3 million to $300,000 noted Decrypt.

Deflation exists after all.  

I'll be surprised if Trump II actually attends his event (luncheon on 4/25/26).  He has a war and a Pope to fight as well as the White House Correspondents Dinner that very evening, complete with corporate sponsorship (Boeing, Amazon and Meta).  

What's an Executive Branch Party (4/24/26) at the Executive Branch Club without the top guy with the hip-pity hop dance moves?  

Nelly is the featured performing artist.

Will Trump II don his doctor robes for any of these big events?  Stay tuned. 

Update 4-22-26:  It appears Trump II will attend the $TRUMP whale luncheon if FAA flight notices are a reliable indicator.  That evening Trump returns to his great humiliation at the White House Correspondents Dinner.  Expect no jokes, but a JOKER like rant from Trump II.
