Federal disclosures show President Trump's account bought between $1 million and $5 million of Dell stock on February 10. Nine days later, at a rally in Rome, Georgia, he told the crowd to "go out and buy a Dell computer." Dell has gone from about $119 a share to $534 since then. He said it again in May, and again in July while ringing the stock market's opening bell from the Oval Office. In late May, the Pentagon awarded Dell a $9.7 billion IT contract. On top of that, the run is probably also fueled by AI, with record server orders and a $95 billion backlog. CNN's review of the same disclosures found at least 44 purchases across 21 companies in the week before Trump posted praise for them on Truth Social. The White House says the accounts are run by independent managers and that he does not direct the trades.

‼️ BREAKING: Your LG TV is eavesdropping on you. It transcribes what you say, copies what is on your screen, and scans every device on your network, and researchers say the collection keeps running after you disconnect it, uploading the moment it reconnects. LG's ad-tech arm says it out loud: "We own the glass." It pitches marketers on the ability to "own the living room," using data harvested from the TV you paid thousands for. Gamers Nexus, working with Level1Techs and independent researchers, compromised an LG G5 and turned it into a listening device: it recorded room audio while the screen appeared off and the Ethernet cable was unplugged, then exfiltrated the file once the TV was back online. LG has publicly said its TVs "do not collect, record, or store ambient conversations." Gamers Nexus found the TV converts speech to plain text and stores it in on-device logs, and that the mic window stays open 10 to 15 seconds after talking stops, sweeping up bystanders who never addressed the TV. These sets are everywhere: hospitals, waiting rooms, boardrooms, hotels. ACR keeps running even when the TV is a dumb HDMI monitor, and a compromised set can pull the audio of a call off that HDMI feed. A surgeon asked Gamers Nexus where that leaves patient confidentiality. Researchers advise disconnecting LG TVs from any network.

Happy Independence Day! There’s a story from the end of the Revolutionary War I want to tell as we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday, and it’s one everyone in the world can learn from. George Washington, at that moment, after commanding the American forces to victory, was the most powerful man in the new country. Many people talked about making him King of America. Across the ocean, King George was sitting with an American painter, and asked what he thought Washington would do now that the war was ending. The painter said he believed he would go back to his farm. The King said, “If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.” As the war officially ended, Washington came to speak to Congress and said, “Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theater of Action.” He returned his commission they’d given him in 1775 - after more than 8 years of leading the Americans to victory without pay, and he was home at Mount Vernon for Christmas. Of course, he was elected as our first President a few years later, and after two terms, showed the same selflessness again when he willingly gave up his power and went back to Mount Vernon again. That’s true greatness. He had all the power in the world. But power, alone, does not make you great. Washington’s greatness came from being a true servant - to a cause much bigger than himself. His greatness was his complete lack of selfishness. The whole story of American Independence is a story of selflessness. It’s a story of people who set their self-interest aside and worked for each other. We’ve all heard the line about “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” Apparently, Ben Franklin might have actually never said that. But that’s fine, because the same mentality is right there in the last line of the Declaration of Independence, published on this day 250 years ago: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” We mutually pledge to each other. No one was in this alone. No one was in it for themselves. This was a group of people with different backgrounds who were in it for each other. Today is a reminder: greatness comes from what we do for each other, never what we do for ourselves. That’s a lesson that applies no matter what country you call home. It’s a lesson that doesn’t require any law passed by a politician, because, let’s be honest, if you’re waiting for selfless politicians, I really hope you are not holding your breath. All of us have the power to be there for the people around us. For our families and friends. For our neighbors. For everyone. All of us can reach for greatness. It’s as simple as looking beyond yourself, seeing past the mirror, picking your eyes up from your phone, and pledging to be there for each other. Happy Fourth. May you all find your own version of greatness today by lifting each other up. Lift up your neighborhood. Lift up America. Lift up the World.

BREAKING🚨 Senate Republicans just slipped $1 BILLION in taxpayer money into an immigration bill to fund Trump's personal White House ballroom — and they're trying to pass it before anyone notices. Here's what they actually did. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released draft language yesterday for the Republican reconciliation bill — a massive immigration and border security package that can't be blocked by a Democratic filibuster. Buried inside that bill is $1 billion in taxpayer funding for the Secret Service to make "security adjustments and upgrades" to Trump's White House ballroom. Not for border security. Not for ICE agents. For a ballroom. The ballroom Trump has been building on the White House grounds since 2025 — a project that was supposed to be privately funded by Trump's donors — is now getting $1 billion from American taxpayers. The funding would cover "above-ground and below-ground security features," according to the bill language. Translation: They're billing taxpayers $1 billion to build a private event space for Trump to host fundraisers and state dinners. And they tucked it into an immigration bill so they could claim it's about "national security." Here's the excuse Republicans are using. After a third assassination attempt on Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last month, the Secret Service recommended enhanced security measures for Trump's public appearances. Republicans are arguing the new ballroom reduces security risks because Trump can control and secure it instead of renting hotels. But the ballroom was already being built before the assassination attempt. Trump announced the project in 2025. The attack didn't create the ballroom — it just gave Republicans an excuse to bill taxpayers for it. And $1 billion is an obscene amount of money for a ballroom. The entire Secret Service budget for 2025 was $3.6 billion. Trump is asking for nearly one-third of the Secret Service's annual budget to secure a single building that will be used for private events. The White House Historical Association renovated the entire East Wing in 2021 for $25 million. The West Wing renovation under Obama cost $86 million. Trump's ballroom is getting $1 billion. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed the proposal: "Republicans are using an immigration bill to funnel a billion taxpayer dollars into Trump's personal vanity project while families are struggling to afford groceries." And here's the part that makes this even more corrupt. The ballroom isn't just for state functions. Trump has already announced plans to rent it out for private events — weddings, corporate galas, fundraisers — at premium rates. So taxpayers are funding the construction of a billion-dollar event space that Trump will then charge people to use. That's not security. That's a taxpayer-funded business investment for Trump's personal financial gain. Republicans are trying to pass it through reconciliation — a budget process that only requires 50 votes in the Senate instead of 60 — so Democrats can't filibuster it. If this bill passes, Trump gets $1 billion for his ballroom without a single Democratic vote. Bloomberg News broke the story yesterday. CNN confirmed it this morning. Democrats are now scrambling to strip the ballroom funding out before it hits the Senate floor. But because it's part of a reconciliation package, Republicans control the amendment process. They can block Democratic amendments and force a vote on the bill as-is. Share this everywhere so people know what's happening. Senate Republicans just tried to quietly funnel $1 billion in taxpayer money to Trump's personal ballroom by hiding it in an immigration bill. That's corruption dressed up as national security.

Foreign intel ops are running bot farms to flood timelines and manipulate the narrative. It’s modern warfare. Wise up, don’t fall for the lies.
