A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

Sunday, June 15, data from about 40% of No Kings events held accounting for over 2.6m attendees. According to our math that puts between 4-6 million people range. Roughly 1.2-1.8% of U.S. population attended a No Kings event in the country yesterday. Approx 5m swag, but they don’t do event numbers.

Peaceful protests, let’s see. Jury is out and the clowns and rioters look to be out. The Feds are looking to go after rioters as they did after the Jan 6, 2021 “Insurrection.” Fair play as many innocents are too close to the fire.

A pattern emerging, is the last 4 assassinations or attempts of major conservative political figures has been ongoing since Jul 2022, Shinzo Abe in Japan, Robert Fico in May 24, Donald Trump in Jul 24 and now Miguel Uribe in Colombia this week. What gives with shooting Right Wing political figures.

I believe all the favorite portfolio managers they trot out on CNBC, they protect them, as CNBC should post their YTD and 3 yr return. These experts just might have serious underperformance that CNBC conveniently covers up. I’m up 10% YTD, how are the supposed experts doing?

No one is mentioning the market bouncing back the last 2 days. Goes to figure, everything negative, slam Trump, something positive, ignore and find something else to slam. One-sided enemigo on Trump 24/7. Stuff he does, maybe 30-50 % works out. The critics, not in ring, just armchair warriors.
