Texas Gov. Abbott appoints owner of Epstein's Zorro Ranch to State's Top Finance Job
Well this is interesting... Wonder what's been dug up on Zorro Ranch?
“It’s a new day for Texas. I will change the culture in Austin so everyone knows the money belongs to the people, not the government,” Huffines said in a statement. “My commitment is simple: run government lean, protect every tax dollar, and keep Texas the best place to live, work, raise a family, and run a business.”

Animal Terror Day has begun already - KaBoom!
I live on the coast in Oregon, home to many aquatic birds and bird sanctuaries. A brown pelican colony provides endless entertainment on Yaquina Bay, dive bombing in groups when the fishing is good. They look like little pterodactyls. Up the road just a bit is a puffin rookery.
Tourists are arriving already with their boom booms, even though it's illegal to set them off here. Later on, the jetty road will be bumper to bumper to view the official fireworks, while scofflaws will be doing their own displays up and down the road.
The birds will be flying in a panic trying to escape. Pet owners will be drugging their fur babies to keep them from stressing. There is no escape for the animals.
Then everyone will go home, leaving a heavy smoke pall over the area. And the animals will begin their recovery.
I honestly hate 4th of July because of what it does to animals and birds.

Commercial real estate glut/crash. Could it be repurposed for housing?
This guy from Nightingale Associates posts news everyday of major commercial real estate being foreclosed, auctioned or sold for pennies on the dollar all over the US.
This might be a great opportunity for states/federal agencies/nonprofits to acquire them and convert them into low-income housing. I know that there are challenges with such conversions, particularly with centralized plumbing and utilities. But I could envision a form of single-room occupancy, or dorm style housing with shared common areas for bathing, laundry, etc.
I lived in a building like this earlier in my life. We all had our own spaces, but the showers were down the hall.
Given the severity of the housing crisis, I love to see some of these properties acquired.

Elon is promoting lies about USAID to justify DOGE defunding. Here's a masterclass in debunking him.
On the one-year anniversary of his genocidal dismantling of USAID, numerous news stories are documenting the staggering human costs.

Elon and his sycophants are now on a coordinated campaign to justify the dismantling of USAID, claiming among other things, that it was a front for the CIA. Here is a masterful debunking of one of his posts. Follow the thread.
Elon deserves to be tried in the Hague. He will end up as one of the most genocidal oligarch of our era.

The Big Club: Jeffrey Epstein's Connections to New York City's Most Infamous Nightclub
I thought I could be surprised by nothing related to Epstein, but this story is beyond belief...
https://jamiefcrawford.substack.com/p/the-big-club-jeffrey-epsteins-connections
In September 2006, a blog post on Gawker was published about a then-upcoming New York City nightclub called The Box. The club is owned by “The Impresario of Smut” Simon Hammerstein - the grandson of The Sound of Music’s Oscar Hammerstein. This 2006 blog post goes on to talk about one of the pedigreed men rumored to be behind The Box: the billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein who had just been arrested for procuring a minor for prostitution earlier that summer. “His involvement would help explain the venue name,” the author wrote in jest.
Quintessentially- concierge "experiences"
Five billionaires paid 10 million euros towards the building cost of the superyacht in return for their own private suit on board. Cofounder Aaron Simpson emphasized that they would be remaining anonymous “until a bottle of champagne hits the hull.”
The archived website for the Quintessentially One explains that “The jewels in crown of the super yacht are 12 stunning triplex apartments located on the top decks. These are available for sale to those looking for the most exclusive onboard residences in the world.”
There is so much in this story... The Epstein class really lives in a world that we cannot even comprehend. And that world is populated by a lot of famous people, involved unbelievable depravity.
*Rump can't stand for Elon to get all the attention. FFS...
ELON is opening Wall Street with the SpaceX IPO - big bell-ringing, huge hoopla. Then *Rump comes in with announcement that Iran is not happening. Stocks crash.
