If you are a nerd, and you start to get rich or famous, you need to get married immediately. If you are already rich or famous, you need to build up a robust system for resisting temptations. Most important, total openness and transparency with your wife.
JUST IN: Jensen Huang reportedly has no prenup, meaning a divorce could cost him $81 billion, the most expensive divorce ever.

Me doing jokes about Jensen Huang all day even though NVDA is my largest holding and it’s down 7% and I won’t be able to buy food.

This is the ideal radio DJ. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Becoming slightly obsessed with this video of an annoying afternoon drive-time radio DJ from the 80s. He kind of rocks

They’ve seen what’s happening in that office, they know it doesn’t have to be this way, and they trust me to fix it. I’m proud to have their support.

I moved 2500 miles to work for Harmeet, and spent 4 years working for her and got to know her pretty well (and we’ve had moments where we didn’t get along). Her patriotism and respect for the rights of people of all faith are beyond reproach, and it’s sad to see her attacked by people who pretend to have these values.
My husband watched me pray in our Sikh faith at the RNC — and one of our last text messages before he died a couple of weeks later was telling me he was so proud of me. He was supposed to be there, but he was also dying from two serious illnesses, and he could not make it at the last minute. Our medical staff at home took care of him while he watched me pray in our faith tradition -/ just as we did at home daily over each meal. All you trash who have denigrated my prayer to the ONE GOD many faiths believe in, deeply hurt me for the last two years, but I could not comment back because I was part of a campaign and then confirmation -/ administration. It’s over. I won’t be silent any longer. Go read the First Amendment and my extensive record on behalf of ALL people of faith in America. For 34 years. And then let’s measure our respective records on religious liberty. I welcome all comers who think they can prove they did more than I did for ALL people of faith in this country. There are none. I intend to keep fighting for ALL people of faith in America for the rest of my life. But I won’t hide my own faith for one second. It’s protected by our Constitution.

Actually CBS hired Ross, and gave him this assignment, understanding he would be awesome. So it’s not tough at all to praise them.
Tough time to say anything nice about CBS News, but this is the most substantive interview I've heard Trump give in years.

Oh
NYT reports on an additional wrinkle to the Nvidia spy scandal. They found that several of the Chinese companies that the Commerce Department approved to buy H200 Nvidia chips don’t seem to exist or have direct ties to the Chinese military. nytimes.com/2026/11/07/busin…

The @JakeLang types doing this performance art bigotry are despicable, and no different than color revolution leftists. This hateful behavior is un-American and needs to be condemned by all normal people! Happy Diwali and Bandi Chorr Diwas to all who celebrate!
HAPPENING NOW: Absolutely chaotic scene as conservative activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen storm a Diwali Hindu celebration at the Seattle Center Armory. They held signs that read, "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians." I just spoke to both men who say they are concerned about American culture being overrun by false idol worshippers and H1-B fraudsters. Lang and Allen say they will be targeting other locations in the city this weekend. They have yet to announce details of their plans due to possible retaliation by Antifa and other far-left activists. Stay tuned. @JakeLang|@Tommy4Trump420

The cost of education in America equals the GDP of a small country!
"Schools are underfunded" is quite possibly the most widespread myth in America.

Putting up billboards because you disagree with someone is actually a pretty good example of exercising your First Amendment rights.
