Thoughts from Saturday. 1) Zelenskyy received applause when he appeared 2) Trump met with Zelenskyy 3) Putin is bombing Kiev, despite Trump's overtures 4) Trump expressed doubt Putin wants war to end Perhaps Trump will realize that Putin is not his friend and resume support for Ukraine?

Trump posted on Truth Social before Friday’s 2nd and 3rd rounds, advocating for Shedeur Sanders, who he described as “all set” for greatness. “He should be ‘picked’ IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN,” Trump wrote. Sanders remains undrafted.

When I think of Trump I'm reminded of Sun Tzu's quote, "an evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes."

JPMorgan's Dimon says economy is facing 'considerable turbulence'. What an astute observation.

"That army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones -- that kind of thing is going to come to America." Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, on Face the Nation (CBS), April 6, 2025

In the first quarter, we delivered over 336,000 vehicles, 54,000 less that Wall Street anticipated. Thank you to all our customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and supporters who helped us achieve these results.

“As a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls,” Judge Susan Crawford said in her victory speech, “I never could have imagined that I’d be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won.”

Lulumon (LULU) is down 52 to 290 today, saying consumer are cutting back on discretionary spending. If Trump tries to pump this by wearing Lulumon tights on the White House lawn... I'm gonna barf.

"Tesla is a peaceful company; we've never done anything harmful, I've never done anything harmful; I've always done productive things." Helping a Trump violate his own trade agreements to start a trade war with the intent of wrecking the Canadian economy is not peaceful or productive.

Quote of the day #2, fro a comment on MSN: "Cutting spending, stemming the flow of illegal immigrants, making trade fairer for Americans, etc., are all things that I agree with. Problem is that I know that Trump doesn't have the intelligence or work ethic to get any of this done."

Quote of the Day: “Elon Musk,is now the Rudy Giuliani of electric vehicles.” says a Wall Street wag.

Tesla set up production at Gigafactory Texas to be capable of 250,000 units per year, according to Elon Musk, who said that he even sees Tesla selling 500,000 units per year. Tesla is now selling the truck at a rate of 40,000 units per year.

Getting tired here reading the many "woe is me" news stories about Federal employees who voted multiple times for Trump and have now been fired. Their proud Trump votes make me wonder if they had the required common sense and judgement to be employed by the Federal Government in the first place...

WAIT! The Cybertruck is glued together? Electrek reported Tesla outbound vehicle deliveries have been stopped amid evidence that the glue holding the exterior stainless steel paneling in place is failing.

A MAGA friend is laboriously going back years to delete hundreds of social media posts/shares bashing EVs and crypto because Trump now endorses Tesla and Bitcoin. At least it keeps him too busy to post new nonsense.

On Thursday, Trump just announced creation of a “strategic crypto reserve”. Common sense says, if you put “crypto” and “Trump” in the same sentence, somebody is getting screwed, and its not him. FYI, Bitcoin fell 3.5% Friday.

These are our tax dollars. And I, for one, want them going toward programs that help people—healthcare, education, services that help families. Not into billionaires’ pockets. If you think cutting Medicaid is a good idea? Just admit you don’t care about disabled people and move on. Lisa Lightner

Republicans are saying Zelensky should apologize for not kissing Trumps ass.

The USDA is planning to spend $100 million to research and potentially develop vaccines and therapeutics for U.S. chicken flocks... Vaccines for chickens? RFK jr is going to have a bird...

"Immigration officials say anyone living in the U.S. illegally will soon have to register with the federal government, and those who don’t could face fines, imprisonment or both." ??? AP News today. Reads like the Trump's minions can't find enough illegals, so we'll make them register??? LOL!

"We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets... there's no longer a need for a broad-based opinion section to cover all views"...WP owner Jeff Bezos. So, personal liberties and free mkts as defined by yet another billionaire.

“Tyranny is rising in the White House, and Trump has declared himself our king. So, we would like to know what you and your fellow congressmen are going to do to rein in this megalomaniac?” one person asked, to a standing ovation. Q asked of GOP Rep. Rich McCormick, at a Roswell GA event.

Isn't this sweet! Melania took Donald to Burger King and they gave him a paper crown.

23 year old DOGE worker Luke Farritor used Ai to decipher some phrases in a Dead Sea scroll and fired 300 people who maintain the security of our nuclear weapons because he didn’t understand what they did.
