Jan 6'ers Love $1.776 Billion Symbolism


Trump's Middle Aged Wilders got the symbolism of the $1.776 billion payout fund and are clamoring for their cut.


Trump II threw another shout out to "his wilding" followers after performers bailed on  his national fair on the Washington D.C. Mall.
I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally on Wednesday, Washington, DC, same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited — It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America!” 

Trump’s promise that his rally will be “wild” echoed a tweet he issued after his 2020 election loss to urge his supporters to protest in Washington DC on 6 January 2021: “Be there! Will be wild!”

Will the money be managed by Affinity Partners, Dominair Holdings, Withkoff Group or Yorkville?  Will it be held in dollars or $TRUMP, World Liberty's USD1, Bitcoin (courtesy of American Bitcoin) or some other Trump affiliated cryptocurrency.

The symbolism of 1776 in Jan. 6th is clear as that was their rallying cry prior to the Trump I led insurrection.  It's clear in the settlement amount agreed to by our "Just Us" Department.  It's both democratic and legal malpractice, made more egregious as this is our 250th anniversary.  

Congress and the Supreme Court need to smack down this Trump abomination before the Trump boys submit their grievance application.  The sooner the better.

Flashback to February and the inaugural World Liberty Financial Conference where the Trump boys said their conflicts of interest were "forced upon them."  That should warrant significant compensation in the Trump II's world of irreality.  

Trump Boys Convert Warrants in Dominari


Don Jr. and Eric now hold 1,182,276 shares ins Dominari Holdings, up from 966,138.  Both boys are Dominari Advisory Board members and major investors.  They converted recently discounted warrants to increase their share totals.

Dominari SEC filings show:

Holders were offered options to either (A) exercise for cash their Existing Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $2.50 per share (“Option A”) or (B) exchange all, but not less than all, of such Holder’s unexercised Existing Warrants for shares of Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 10:3, such that for every ten shares of Common Stock underlying the exchanged Series B Warrants, the Company would issue three shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”) for no additional consideration (“Option B”). 
The warrants had an original exercise price of $4.22 per share when originally issued.

 The deals keep getting sweeter for the Trump boys.  

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU (private equity underwriters) and their new TechGod/CryptoBro brethren.  Increasingly, more are one and their sons shall be far richer than their fathers.

$TRUMP Deflates Post "World's Most Exclusive Con-ference"


Trump II's meme-coin ($TRUMP) continues to lose value.  The two "dine with the President" events provided brief spurts to $TRUMP but did not break the overall decline over decline trend.  

Dinner #1 was at Trump National in Northern Virginia.


It boosted his meme-coin price about $4 dollars.


Dinner #2 at Mara-Lago occurred in the midst of his war of choice on Iran.  It got his coin to $4 after a $1 boost.  


$TRUMP is trading at $1.98 as of this posting.  Early Trump buy and hold "investors" have taken a pasting.  Earlier this week it traded as low as $1.83.  

Trump II set this up so he makes money from trading.  His corporate entity takes a cut of the fees.  

Trump II, the digital Caligula, brought unethical business practices to government.  Politics already had little to no ethical foundation.  

His recent Kennedy Center judicial defeat has him verbally divesting the enterprise, just as he tried to do with America's military allies regarding the Strait of Hormuz.  

After jacking everything up in the Persian Gulf he told other countries "to go get your own oil."  It brought to mind the dystopian future pictured in Mad Max movies.  Trump innovated by making it a water version.  

This might be Trump II's Water World, where he just looks old and soggy.   Meanwhile, $TRUMP is looking weak and saggy.

Trump Wedding Surfaces Epstein's Banker


Palm Beach is the investment center of gravity.  Trump II's Mara-Lago is one site where insider deals get done, recently at "the most exclusive conference and dinner in the world."

A different merger took place in that area, the nuptials of Don Jr. & Bettina Anderson.  The bride's late father owned Palm Beach Bank & Trust, which handled at least $12 million in Epstein money from 2004 to 2011.

JP Morgan looked at Epstein's use of funds in 2011.  An internal e-mail stated:

JP Morgan's note cites 2004 allegations against Epstein.  Bettina Anderson was 17 years old.  Fortunately, she was not poor, struggling or whatever other criteria Epstein used to target his victims.

Who'd have thought a Trump wedding would surface Epstein's former local banker?

"Redacted" sent Harry Loy Anderson Jr.'s obituary to Epstein in December 2013.

TechGod Peter Thiel Lands in Argentina


TechGod Peter Thiel left his home and businesses in Miami for Argentina.  In the last year Thiel relocated Founders Fund, Thiel Capital and Palantir to Miami.  Fellow TechGod Jeff Bezos moved to Miami in 2024 and Hedge Fund Giant Ken Griffin did so in 2022.

Did Thiel move his family (again) because of the telegraphed upcoming U.S. attack on Cuba?  


Iran sent drones and missiles into UAE data centers.  If Cuba could hit Palantir's offices I imagine they would consider that a success.  

Maybe, Mr. Thiel got some secret intelligence only available to big money political insiders.  That would be uniquely American.  

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

Carlyle Promotes Defense-Government-Industrial with New General


Carlyle Group Vice Chair James Stavridis may not get his desired economic opportunity in Iran but Trump II's disastrous war provides profit opportunities just the same.  

Carlyle cut its teeth flipping defense contractors for grand returns under CEO Frank Carlucci, former Secretary of Defense.  Carlucci died in 2018 which shows how long this game has been going on.

The Admiral is ready to do so again with help from General Bryan Fenton, Carlyle's new operating executive in the Defense-Government-Industrial (DGI) space.  Fenton retired in November 2025 and already picked up two board seats, USAA and Mantech.  

Carlyle is excited about the return of the go-go hypersonic defense spending days, calling investment opportunities "unlimited."  

Limitless opportunity?  Carlyle has a history of puffery.

"Unlimited" is as realistic as Elon Musk's promise that the new AI economy will provide everyone a penthouse.  

Politicians Red & Blue got together to save college sports, another area targeted by private equity.  Policy making billionaires, another Carlyle Group innovation, may also be making a comeback.

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

TechGod penthouses have tight security, ready access to ketamine and spectacular views.  Ours will have a centerfold.  So that's why Grok undresses teens...Elon always fulfills his promises.

From Side Hustle to Wide Hustle: SpaceX IPO


WSJ wrote about Elon Musk's doling out access to SpaceX stock to friends in April 2025.  Space Exploration Technologies (dba SpaceX) has a scheduled IPO launch for June 12, 2026.   

An expert in corporate governance gave a warning on CNBC.  The guest noted lease agreements between SpaceX and Valor Equity Partners as Valor founder & CEO Antonio Gracias is on SpaceX's board of directors.


Rules and norms do not apply to TechGods.  These super-humans can hold multiple full time jobs. Just a dash of their time is incalculable in terms of value.  That power extends beyond the C-suite to the ballot box.

Shareholders normally get a vote.  One share, one vote.  The S-1 indicates SpaceX has several classes of stock, Class A, Class B and Class C.  Musk owns 93% of Class B shares with each share having ten votes.  Class A has one vote per share while Class C has no voting rights.  

Class B shareholders (i.e. Elon Musk) select 51% of the board, while Class A together with Class B select the other 49% (once again Elon Musk).  

The filing states:
...we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas corporate governance standards. Under the listing rules of Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power with respect to director elections is held by another person or group of persons acting together is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas corporate governance requirements
This harkens back to when The Carlyle Group, a politically connected private equity underwriter (PEU) went public, but the three founders controlled the board makeup with their outsized share holdings.

Two SpaceX shareholders got special mention in their Investor Rights Amendment (filed in 2020). 


Antonio Gracias may be familiar to close watchers of DOGE.  He "helped" Elon Musk with Social Security from March to July of 2025.  
CEO Antonio Gracias had resigned from his position working 80 hours a week for the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. A Valor spokesperson stated that Gracias was no longer freelancing for the U.S. government.
Gracias also sits on the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago.  The Chicago Maroon reported on his DOGE involvement:
In meetings with senior staff, SSA Acting Commissioner Leland Dudek has referred to Gracias and other DOGE staffers as “outsiders who are unfamiliar with nuances of SSA programs,” per a March 6 Washington Post article. 
Despite DOGE staffers’ lack of experience, “I am receiving decisions that are made without my input. I have to effectuate those decisions,” Dudek told senior SSA staff.

Gracias spoke alongside Musk at a Social Security Townhall in March.  Their claims did not hold up under scrutinyVanity Fair excoriated the effort:
....didn’t just use untruths to justify their work at the Social Security Administration. They also used their own inability to analyze data, as well as massive hubris...
The second SpaceX shareholder receiving special mention is Peter Thiel's Founders Fund.


It's not clear how much Elon Musk, Peter Thiel or Antonio Gracias will make in the SpaceX IPO, but one thing is for sure.  TechGods remain firmly in control.  

Update:  Musk floated a SpaceX - Tesla merger.  He has the votes...
