One fact I didn't know until just now is that Michael Bloomberg's net worth increased from $55.5 billion in 2019 to $106 billion in 2025. Doubled.

Bloomberg has dropped $5 million against Zohran in these last days of the race, making him the single largest donor. Personally I wish he'd just settle for having successfully bought a 3rd term and do something else with his money www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Michael R. Bloomberg, the city’s billionaire former mayor, gave $3.5 million this week to For Our City, a super PAC trying to stop Zohran Mamdani. That was on top of another $1.5 million Bloomberg gave to a different anti-Mamdani group, and his endorsement of Andrew Cuomo. The former mayor is now unquestionably the single largest donor in the race.

Imagine telling someone in the 1970s that the NYT and WaPo are bending the knee to fascists while Glamour and Teen Vogue are the journalistic champions of human rights and democracy.

Nine biological men being declared 'Women of the Year' by Glamour magazine is beyond parody even by ludicrous woke virtue-signalling standards... and, I suspect, the beginning of the end for Glamour magazine.

The Mar a Lago bathroom/storage was so cheap looking and cheap. The Lincoln bathroom (saints preserve us) is ugly and cheap looking, but since he’s spending our money not cheap.

Democrats want to keep Pete Hegseth's wife out of top-secret military meetings, despite knowing full well that she's the one who prevents him from drinking or abusing women. Remember that the next time they claim to care about national security.
