2021: “Notably, Senator Tommy Tuberville bought up to $1.84 million in non-energy mineral stocks. These included copper ($SCCO, $FCX), steel ($X, $CLF), aluminum ($AA) and other infrastructure-related stocks ($EXP, $BHP) before Biden signed his Big Infrastructure Bill. Tuberville later sold up to a third ($660k) of these stocks.” https://unusualwhales.com/politics/article/full

JUST IN: Kevin McCarthy just lost the 12th bid for Speaker of the House.

13 of the 20 GOP reps who previously voted against Kevin McCarthy flipped their votes this round & voted for Kevin McCarthy this time.

He just picked up 14 more votes. If he gets 4 more, he’ll be Speaker.

Be there

The House is about to cast their 14th vote for Speaker of the House.

Good Morning!💪

Really liking Elin Chancey's fine art work for The Wise of Heart. A new episode posts later this morning at https://wiseofheart.substack.com/.

Scott Adams claims the early data showed COVID jabs were beneficial. I reconstruct why I reached a contrary conclusion.

Even allowing for the sake of argument, that the secret king MIGHT have been wrong, YOU certainly aren’t any better then him.

No one would believe this exchange if I included it in a story.

I'm finally getting closer to understanding Scott Adams.

He has no concept of listening to evidence and making up your own mind.

To him it's whose opinion do you trust?

The "Persuasion Expert" made up his mind based on who was more persuasive, not who had the better evidence and more reasonable case.

A former Waffle House employee who effortlessly deflected a chair that was thrown at her during a brawl says she has been "blacklisted" by the chain.

“I have enough confidence in the vaccine to get it done. .. Those of you who think the vaccine kills people can use me as a test.

If I die, you were right. If I don't die, and have no ill effects, you were wrong, and should admit it”

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Analysts of the World Gold Council: China and Russia have become the largest savers of the precious metal. The central banks of the two countries are buying gold at the fastest pace since 1967.

The last time this level of buying was seen was a historic turning point for the global monetary system, accelerating the demise of the Bretton Woods system, which pegged the value of the US dollar to the precious metal.

The main message is that Russia and China no longer want to rely on the US dollar as their main reserve asset.

🇨🇳🇹🇼 In something of a farce, it has emerged components of Taiwanese anti ship missiles were sent to mainland China for repairs. Known as Hsiung Feng 3, these missiles are a major element in Taiwan’s arsenal to deter naval landings by the PLA but use Swiss gyroscopes from Leica Geosystems. The oversight occurred as a result of Leica sending them for repair in China instead of Switzerland itself as planned.

Adding to the irony, it is alleged this was only noticed by Taiwanese authorities after their return by tracing the send location to a facility in Shandong in the PRC.
