White by Default?
The viral posts were right.
We scraped 5.5 million criminal records and 1.5 million mugshots from 39 states.
29% of Hispanics are being misclassified as White in official Department of Corrections databases.

Everyone's seen these collages claiming non-whites get classified as White in criminal databases.
The problem? Anecdotal. Cherry-picked. No way to verify.
We had 1.5 million mugshots, names, and official racial classifications.

The 30โ180 Day Nominal Refinancing Loop in Modern Banking
In aggregate, credit expansion is not constrained by prior saving.
It is sustained by the nominal GDP growth (including inflation) that credit itself creates.

Short-term, nominal funding is the structural reality of banking

The Midterm Effect is Coming
Folks, if youโve been wondering whether the โmidterm effectโ is actually lining up behind all the blue wins we just had, the answer from the data is: yes.
Three fresh national polls โ Marist (for NPR/PBS), AP-NORC, and Reuters/Ipsos โ are all telling the same basic story:

Three fresh national polls โ Marist (for NPR/PBS), AP-NORC, and Reuters/Ipsos โ are all telling the same basic story:
The environment is turning hostile for Trump and the GOP.
The public is screaming โprices, prices, pricesโ as the top issue.
Trumpโs grip on Republicans is still strong but no longer ironclad.
And yet, voters still donโt trust the parties or institutions, and theyโre perfectly willing to blame Democrats for pain they experience, even in a Trump-engineered crisis.
Letโs walk through what these polls collectively tell us.

The Generic Ballot: This Is 2018-Level Energy, But Earlier
Start with the headline: in the new NPR/PBS/Marist poll, Democrats lead the 2026 generic House ballot 55/41 among registered voters โ a D+14 advantage. Thatโs the biggest Marist has shown for Democrats since 2017 and a massive swing from a 48โ48 tie in November 2024.

๐จWARNING๐จ to Disabled Canadians, @InclusionCA has NOT verified the services they're recommending. They are referring people towards an AI based scam site/service that is NOT up front with costs and makes you pay $156 before you have to pay another $200 if you need DTC help./1
I contacted @InclusionCA based on this post & was set up with a navigator to help me w/accessing the DTC without a family Dr. so I can get the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit. They recommended , telling me that it was $200, which is what the website says too./2 AbilityDocs.ca
Long story short, I documented/recorded everything imaginable, and it's actually an AI & human based service, but they do not let you know EVEN WHEN DIRECTLY ASKING A HUMAN that they actually want to charge you $355 total, and they don't tell you until you're $156 in the hole./3

Walking barefoot starts the healing.
But if you want to fully reset your nervous system, Stand on kettlebells.
It sounds insane, until the plantar fasciitis disappears, your arches lift and your breath drops into your lower body for the first time in years.
Hereโs why:

They store survival stress.

The tension of a lifetime of โholding it all together.โ

When you stand barefoot on kettlebell handles:
Your fascia opens.
Your arches decompress.
Your nervous system resets.
Not because youโre stretching.
Not because youโre forcing anything.
But because youโre removing compression from the foundation of your entire body.
Your feet are the root system of your spine, breath, posture, and emotional state.
When the foundation opens, your entire system reorganizes.

The majority intraday scalp 0dtes, react to every candle, and end up with terrible R/R.
One major improvement in my system this year came from simplifying everything down to the 30 min pivot.
Strict entries, clear risk, & a repeatable framework.

One major improvement in my system this year came from simplifying everything down to the 30 min pivot.
Strict entries, clear risk, & a repeatable framework.
Hereโs exactly how I use it: ๐งต
What is the 30 minute pivot?
It's very simple.
After an opening flush or a sharp retracement, I wait for the first green 30 minute candle to close.
That candle becomes my pivot.
If the high of that candle gets taken out, I enter long.
My stop goes at the low of the pivot candle, or at LOD (depending on the volatility and my risk preference)
This gives me instant clarity on risk before I even enter.
No guessing.

This gives me instant clarity on risk before I even enter.

But why does it work?
Because the first green 30 minute candle after a flush often signals:
- exhaustion of sellers
- shift in intraday momentum
- early signs of demand stepping back in
- structural change in the tape
- possible capitulation (paired with volume)
The trade isnโt the pivot.
The trade is the pivot high breaking.
Thatโs where the momentum shift confirms.

1/ 1,100 reasons to freeze state AI legislation: @RealDonaldTrump called on Congress to freeze state AI regulations because โoverregulation by the States is threatening to undermine this Major Growth โEngine.โโ Heโs right and hereโs why: (note: All data below are from upcoming @AmericanEdge studies)
2/ The AI boom is benefiting every state all across the country. The map below shows how AI-related venture capital is surging across Americaโs states. In total, nearly 27,000 AI-related VC deals closed from 2019-25, totaling more than half-a-trillion dollars of investment activity.
3/ Tech Job Growth: AI has helped state tech job growth soared by 14% from 2019-25, nearly three times more than all-industry average. Interestingly, the usual high-tech states are not leading the charge, but instead, states (in yellow) like TN, WY, NV, NM, MS, AL, and others are reaping giant tech job growth gains.
