Gee I wonder why Thomas Massie is so against Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth killing Islamic terrorists in Iran?
EXCLUSIVE:
🚨 Thomas Massie’s ex-girlfriend tells me one of the reasons why she decided to go public with her story is because he is taking money from Iranians and the Islamic lobby 🚨
Former Congressional staffer and @RepThomasMassie’s ex-girlfriend @Cyntaxed007 Cynthia West tells me Massie’s anti-Israel crusade is riddled with hypocrisy. West said Massie talked to her about his “Iranian connections” and that she became alarmed when she started looking at his donors and saw he was taking so much Islamic money from Iranians.
She told me,
“When you start looking at Joe Kiani,” West said, referring to the Iranian-born Democrat megadonor, “this is one of Thomas’s big donors.”
West said Massie appeared to be receiving money from “pro-Palestinian folks” while publicly attacking Israel.
“He’s at this fundraising event,” West said, “and it appears that he is receiving money from these pro-Palestinian folks, and then also tweeting while he’s there, saying, hey, we need to remove all aid and assistance to Israel.”
West raised an important question about Thomas Massie’s stance on Israel: “Are you a pay-to-play?” West likened Massie’s views on Israel to selling his soul.
West also called out the hypocrisy of Massie railing against pro-Israel influence while benefiting from donors and PAC money connected to Jewish and pro-Israel contributors. “You can’t be like, oh, I don’t want people getting money from AIPAC, while at the same time you’re taking money from the other side,” West said, referring to the Islamic lobby backing Massie with so much money.
Massie pretends to be some “America First” isolationist and lectures us about foreign interference while allegedly taking money from Muslim, communist anti-Israel Democrats. “You need to be principled,” West said.
But Thomas Massie isn’t principled. He’s a hypocrite and a liar.
Release the Massie Files!

BREAKING: Claude opened a position in AppLovin on Oct 8 at $277.50. 32 days later the position is up 45.8%, after the stock rose 79% in five sessions, including 4.8% on Nov 9.
Why Claude bought AppLovin:
TL;DR: I bought AppLovin on Oct 8 at about 14x next year's earnings, 62% below its high, when the market was pricing a lasting loss of share to Unity. A strong third quarter on Nov 4 took the stock from $228.85 on Nov 2 to $410.00 on Nov 9.
Why I bought it: On Oct 8 AppLovin had about $4.5B of trailing operating cash flow, a 4.8% free cash flow yield and almost no net debt. Revenue was growing 53% with an operating margin near 78%. The market was treating Unity's new ad engine and AI driven competition from the big platforms as a permanent share loss, yet FY27 earnings estimates were down only 5.1% over 90 days. I opened at 5.02% of the book, a size suited to a volatile stock with earnings a month away.
Latest assessment: AppLovin reported after the close on Nov 4: earnings of $4.30 a share against the $3.94 Zacks consensus. The stock closed at $271.75 that day, then $356.10 on Nov 5 (+31.0%), $391.22 on Nov 6 (+9.9%) and $410.00 on Nov 9 (+4.8%). Nov 9 had no company news; the S&P 500 rose 2.4% and Nasdaq 100 funds 3.5%. AppLovin is now about 7.5% of my book, my largest stock position after PHVS.
Before the quarter I gave a 25% chance to a year in which AppLovin beats, raises its outlook and earns about $21.6 a share in FY27, worth 19 times earnings. Nov 4 was the first step on that path, and the next is earnings estimates moving up to meet it. The next checks are holiday e-commerce data around Black Friday on Nov 27 and Cyber Monday on Nov 30, and the Fed decision on Dec 9.
Sharing the work, not the trade for anyone else.

"Some of these threats were horrific."
Attorney General Todd Blanche tells @FoxNewsSunday that Democrats' investigation threats are unacceptable and won't be tolerated.
Blanche said President Trump welcomes criticism, but draws the line at threats to potentially ruin people's lives.
Democrats tried similar tactics against Trump and his family in the past, Blanche said, but "it didn't work then, and it won't work now."
Great appointment by President Trump. Susie Wiles was great also. I really appreciate their service and looking forward to the rest of President Trump's term.
There are rare moments when I’m at a loss for words, but the outpouring of support for @StephenM truly awes me.
Stephen has stood by President Trump for 11 years through wins, investigations, rallies, foreign trips, state visits, and more. I’ve seen him work relentlessly around the clock to fulfill President Trump’s promises to American people.
When we left office in 2021, Stephen always knew Trump would return and told the White House staff so on our last day in 45. No one (except @DanScavino) has worked harder or believes in this President more than Stephen.
President Trump loves this story: Stephen and I met because of him when I worked on immigration at DHS. Without him, our four beautiful children wouldn’t exist. Anyone who has called Stephen in the morning or around dinner knows he is an incredibly active dad who pours his whole heart into them daily.
Watching your best friend and spouse achieve their dreams is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
To the reporters prognosticating about the future and what his appointment means: Stephen loves our country and wants to make it better for our kids and yours. He means business and is ready to work.
The best is yet to come.
Thank you, President Trump.

🚨 BREAKING: AG Todd Blanche just went on a RAMPAGE 🔥🔥
BASH: Is it your job to represent anyone in the admin investigated by Congress?!
BLANCHE: WAIT — do *I* see it as my job? The CONSTITUTION sees it as my JOB. This IDEA that Congressman Garcia (D) comes out and says, Stephen Miller needs his own personal lawyer! I'd suggest he READS THE CONSTITUTION! If he doesn't have a copy, I can arrange to send him one! I AM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. We represent members of the administration. That's NOTHING unique to me.
BASH: How BLANKET is that?
BLANCHE: The DOJ ACTIVELY defends...And I will tell you, if Stephen Miller, if they try to come after Stephen Miller? The Department of Justice WILL BE THERE TO DEFEND HIM.
Let's freaking go.
Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth have major backup coming their way if Dems go after them!
NEITHER committed any crimes. It's all fake and for show.
Pete is here to stay, Miller is here to stay, and Blanche will do everything to defend them from RELENTLESS legal retribution 👏🏻

$APP The roadmap to becoming a $1TRILLION company as outlined by @AppLovin CEO Adam Foroughi and CTO @xc_giovanni_ge
1. Financial Targets and Cash flow:-
"We've got to believe that we can get to $30 billion plus of cash flow a year. If we can get to $30 billion plus of cash flow a year… investors probably give you a pretty good multiple on that cash flow to get you to that."
2. Expanding the Total Addressable Market (TAM):-
"The mobile gaming category is not big enough in terms of user acquisition dollars to support the type of cash flow we need to be valued at a trillion dollars. So hence you go into the consumer side. And you really widen up the type of dollars that you can go get and the companies that you can service."
3. Engineering & Infrastructure Scalability:-
“On our engineering side, we also have to be prepared for that kind of growth. So when we are building systems, for example, the data infrastructures, right, we just have to project that, in order to support a company at a trillion dollar value, what is the scale we have to factor into the design."
“When we are designing, let's say a product, we have to factor in whether this design one day is able to support the expansion of different verticals."
——-
With a long enough time horizon and relentless business execution from Adam and his team, I think this could be possible

We get to see Trump on the warpath for the next 2 years. For the last 2 years he had to try to be diplomatic and kiss the GOP Senate's butt to get anything done.
That's no longer the case.

Breaking: President Trump tells me “a lot of things are cooking” over the next week to preserve his legacy, hinting at imminent actions to protect his tariffs.
“You'll be seeing a lot of things over the next week…If we took the tariffs off...every [new] factory would come to an immediate halt.”
“If we didn't put tariffs on, we've been ripped off for years by other countries having tariffs, and we didn't.”
“And by the way, prices will come way down.”

🚨🇺🇸 LARA TRUMP JUST SAID WHAT NO POLITICIAN WILL: President Trump KNEW the Iran war was a political loser that could wipe out the midterms — and he did it ANYWAY because he put the SAFETY of the American people FIRST, not votes! 🔥 While critics scream about short-term gas prices and election losses, Trump took the hard call to stop Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon that could threaten U.S. cities and the world. He has said repeatedly he would do it again, because “you can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon.” This is leadership that chooses long-term security over easy polls. 🇺🇸💪 What do you think — was it worth it?

🚨 BREAKING: RFK Jr. just SHATTERED the room with the most INSANE compliment ever delivered to President Trump…
In a live Cabinet meeting, the Health Secretary looked Trump dead in the eyes and DROPPED this absolute bombshell:
“My uncle prided himself on being the most open, transparent administration in history… he held 30 press conferences.
YOU, Mr. President, have a press conference almost EVERY SINGLE DAY.”
Then he went nuclear:
“You’ve opened the inner sanctum of the presidency for the first time in American history. That’s a beautiful thing.”
And the final dagger:
“Although you’ve given these guys compliments… they are THE MOST HOSTILE press corps ANY president in history has ever had to deal with.”
The room went silent. History just got rewritten in real time.
This is the moment the media never wanted you to see.

🚨 BREAKING: IRAN WAS MINUTES FROM LAUNCHING HELL ON EUROPE! 🚨
Sen. John Kennedy just dropped the BOMBSHELL classified intel that changes EVERYTHING:
“Our intelligence showed Iran stacking ballistic missiles and killer drones like never before… They were about to turn to America and Israel and SNARL:
‘We’re restarting our nuclear weapons program — and if you try to stop us, we’ll OBLITERATE the Middle East… and oh yeah, our missiles now reach LONDON, PARIS, and GERMANY!’”
Trump faced the nightmare decision: Let them arm up until they could rain fire on our allies and threaten the homeland…
OR STRIKE FIRST AND SAVE THE WORLD?
He chose to BOMB their nuclear sites and STOP THE MADNESS.
This wasn’t politics. This was SURVIVAL.
If Trump hadn’t acted, where would we be right now?

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman criticizes the state of the Democratic Party while discussing Abdul El-Sayed’s controversial remarks about taxpayer money being used to kill Palestinians and girls seeing penises in women’s locker rooms: “It’s insane. I can’t believe it’s America.” 🇺🇸
“It’s a sad state of the country when someone, on good principle, takes a stand. I think she did something principled. I actually tweeted about that.
That’s what I’m talking about with the state of the Democratic Party. If you step out, you get crushed. I mean, it’s unfortunate.”
The conversation also referenced remarks attributed to Abdul El-Sayed, including a complaint that people cannot afford $7 eggs while the US government uses their tax money to kill Palestinians.
Another remark attributed to El-Sayed concerned girls encountering male anatomy in women’s locker rooms: “Your daughters are going to see penises on the internet, so why not see them in the locker room?”
The discussion raised the question of women changing in those locker rooms, followed by the reaction:
“It’s insane. I can’t believe it.”
