Im 3 years sober today, and I’m sharing my journey in this video—raw & from the heart. I want it to inspire those struggling & remind those on this journey, why we continue to struggle through it. There was a time I drank and used drugs whenever I could, thinking it was no big deal, just part of the fun. Then came the phase where drinking had consequences—bad emotional hangovers, regrets, lies, and chaos. Eventually, it was just the consequences, no fun left, just a cycle I couldn’t see my way out of. Back then, I didn’t even think I had a problem. Sobriety changed everything. These three years have flown by in a blink, yet felt like the longest of my life—each day a battle, each victory a milestone. Today i feel proud. Being sober has made me present for my kids, given us Sage and Jaxx—my miracle babies who wouldn’t exist without my sobriety & my wife Shelly’s unwavering support. She stuck by me through the darkest times, & then pushed me away when I needed it the most, and for that I’m forever grateful. Family is everything; they’re the anchor that keeps me grounded. I’ve learned friends come and go—especially the party ones. My biggest fear was losing them all, and yeah, that was the hardest part of sobriety. But it left me with a few incredible people who truly want what’s best for me & my family, you know who you are. These three years taught me to fight my demons. I’ve learned to box, learned that I change my mindset on a daily basis , to set boundaries & its given me the confidence to confront those who treat me badly. I’ve discovered I’m not made of glass & its ok for people to dislike me, im not perfect, im a peace with that. I’ve cut out endless toxic people who drained the life out of me. Because now I like me, I don’t need everyone else to. If you want the people you love to see change in you show strength through vulnerability. Commit to something, and you can make it happen. I’m living proof that anyone struggling with drinking or drugs can change. To those fighting this battle without family or who can’t see theirs, I know your struggle is harder, I want to acknowledge that and you and I’m thinking of you always. Dont give up. If you’re struggling, please know you’re not alone. Share your story in the comments—I’m here to listen. How are you pushing through your own challenges? 3 years baby 💪 #SoberJourney #sober #Addiction #mentalhealth

Everyone please help a single mom out & @ or repost this to Bill Ackman encouraging him to accept my proposal. Also, it is in my humble opinion we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to invest in the early days of the next Berkshire Hathaway via $HHH, Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. Everyone please go check out Bremont Watches which makes luxury, British watches. Their craftsmanship & designs blow Rolex & AP out of the water. Mr. Ackman, I’m competing in the World Cup of Trading, Futures Division. I’m currently #1 in the world & have been trading/investing for 15 years. I aspire to start an unlevered, long only, quant firm inspired by the Medallion Fund. I have studied Jim Simons' returns inside and out, year by year, & I believe I have what it takes to accomplish something similar yet unlevered. I have overcome so much in life including human trafficking, childhood sex abuse, gangs, homelessness, & domestic violence. My life path of getting here has not been easy, but I am grateful for it, as it has given me grit like no other. Charts are my outlet, my therapy. I’m self taught. I don’t have a fancy degree, but in the movie “Wall Street” Michael Douglas says, “Give me the guys who are poor, smart, & hungry, with no feelings. You win a few, lose a few, but you keep fighting.” That’s me. If my name sounds familiar, it is because I sent you a message a few months back thanking you for helping me make my first ever million dollar investment profit after I followed you into $FNMA. I am going to go out on a limb here to a competitive businessman who loves to make deals & who also might benefit by connecting with retail investors/traders through the World Cup of Trading as there is an entire community of retail traders/investors around the world who follow this competition. I have a proposition for you. If I finish in the Top 3 of the World Cup of Trading Futures Division at the end of the year, would you be willing to allocate resources to me with my goal of creating the next unlevered, long only, quant, systematic, mini version of the Medallion Fund? I’m aware my proposition is vague, but that is the point. I have gratitude for any allocation of resources whether that be your knowledge, advice, time, a financial investment, or a referral from you. Knowledge is worth more than a financial investment to me. I know in time my work will create the money on its own. I have a few million dollars to start with, and from a compounding interest, quantitative view, I know what I can turn that into over time. Also, I remember you mentioning $HHH is looking to invest in smaller scale ventures & I was wondering if this meets your investment objectives I always say there are only two reasons a person or business fails: 1. Ego 2. Leverage/Debt (& usually it is a combination of both). I make it a point to always keep my ego in check due to this, but if you give me a chance, I think you will feel I am one of the most intelligent and brightest chartist/technicians/quants alive today. Scroll my X feed. I called the April 2025 bottom on the exact day it occurred. I remember you spoke of a charity donation you gave to Harvard structured as an options deal you created. I believe you have a competitive spirit and love the game of investing. So I ask, Mr. Ackman, will you accept my proposal and will you allocate any resources at all to impact the next generation of Wall Street by supporting me in any way with my aspiration to create an unlevered, long only, systematic, quant fund inspired by the Medallion Fund if I can place in the Top 3 of the World Cup of Trading Futures Division for 2025? Risk management, Mr. Ackman, it is all about risk management, and I decided the risk of not reaching out to you at this moment in time was more costly than the risk of reaching out. Have a blessed day. I believe one day you will be #1 on the Forbes List. Thank you, Marci Silfrain

[ENG Trans] — Jimmy Graduation Day 🎓 #JimmyGraduationDay ⸻ 💬 “Jimmy Talking with Fans” 💜 Jimmy: “Now graduated, what fun thing do I want to do next?” Fun, you say? Well…here it is, staying at GMMTV. 💜 Jimmy: After this event, is anyone heading to Union Mall next? (Me and Thee series after-party event.) Please raise your hand, I want to know. 💜 Jimmy: You can manage your time, you know. Or has their event already started with the benefit session? 💜 Jimmy: As for me, I can’t really go there wearing this graduation gown. I don’t want to rush from one event to another. I won’t take too much of your time, because I understand that right now Mr. Thee is very popular.” (teasing) 💜 Jimmy: As for go-karting, I still drive regularly. I’m continuing to practice and improve my skills. 💜 Jimmy: To be honest, I do have some plans in my mind right now, and I’m currently working on a few things. I’ll let you wait and follow along. I’m still the same as I’ve always been: “Sometimes I disappear for a while, then I come back again.” But I always tell you that every time I return, it’s because I have something good to bring back with me, and everyone is always happy about that. 💜 Jimmy: ‘Do fans have to spend money?’ Well…that’s a good question. Do you have to spend money? Everyone has to spend money all the time anyway. These days, just breathing means you have to spend money, like buying air purifiers. They’re essential for life now.” 💜 Jimmy: Let me ask some of you, how did you travel here today? ‘By airplane?’ Have you been watching Me and Thee too much? (joking) 💜 Jimmy: I seriously recommend that after this event, you head home immediately. Don’t linger around, because the traffic around here is really bad. Very bad. 💜 Jimmy: I truly want to thank everyone so much for traveling here to see me today. I admit that Thammasat University, Rangsit Campus, is quite far for many people. 💜 Jimmy: I’ve seen on social media that some of you chartered vans from other provinces, or gathered as a group like, ‘Hey, who wants to go to Doctor Jimmy’s graduation? Let’s go together.’ Honestly, aren’t you afraid of getting in a car with strangers? That’s amazing. You’re really strong-hearted. 💜 Jimmy: So I have to thank the international fans who bought flight tickets to come and join this event. I think there are so many places in Thailand that you could travel to, but you chose to come here instead. If you’re happy, then I’m happy as well. Thank you very much for coming, and I hope you enjoy your time in Thailand. 💜 Jimmy: I promise that many things will happen this year. Please wait and follow along.

Dear X Family, Please RT my story. My name is Muffin. I don't understand why they did this to me. I did nothing wrong. I was born inside Marshall BioResources (MBR), located at 5800 Lake Bluff Road North Rose, NY. [email protected] 1-315-587-2295. They currently have 23.000 beagles waiting to be sold to testing labs. Many of these beagles are killed after being tortured. After a year of living inside MBR, I was sold to a testing lab in Pennsylvania. They conducted torture tests on me for three years. Luckily they never killed me. I was released through a rescue with 24 other beagles. I was completely broken. I don’t think anyone had ever seen me as bad as I was. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t look at anyone. Whenever someone came near, I would freeze, terrified. Sometimes, I would even fall over—my body so stiff with fear that I thought I might never move again. The first time it happened, I remember the look on their faces... like they thought I had died right there from fright. My toenails hurt all the time, they were so long. I had these painful red sores on my legs, and I was so dirty. I smelled so bad that the people who came to take me home were gagging in the car because of the stench of poop. I didn’t mean to smell that way. I couldn’t help it. It took me five months before I could even take a treat from their hands. Five months of being afraid of what might happen next. Now a year has passed, and I do love my new family. I really do. I try to enjoy my life with them, and I’m getting better, but... when they pick me up, something terrible still happens. I can’t help it. I freeze. My body goes stiff, and slowly, I tilt my head back and open my mouth. I know what’s coming, and it terrifies me every time.I remember the tube, the feeling of it going down my throat. They called it oral gavage. I endured it over and over. It may have been years. I don't remember. My brain goes numb to block out memories. My mom sees me shaking She knows I'm having a flashback. I don't understand why they did this to me? I did nothing wrong. I ask that you help me free the 26,000 beagles waiting to be sold to labs by PUSHING your Legislators to forward Modernization Act 3.0 to compel the FDA to use non-animal-testing methods. The labs will keep purchasing and killing Beagles instead of modernizing to cruelty free methods. It took me less than 2 minutes to submit email telling my Legislators to push forward the FDA Modernization Act 3.0 HERE > While waiting for that to happen, my friends will continue exposing Marshall BioResources (MBR) located in New Rose, NY, 1-315-587-2295 (23k beagles inside) and Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin, 1-608-437-8670 (3k beagles inside) with all resources under legal rights. Hoping Russell Russell Brand will RT so our new X account gets traction! Thank you to biggest supporters on X!

This is what a Weaponized Biden DOJ looks like.. The Biden DOJ told so many lies on me that were untrue, that it tore my family completely apart. The Biden DOJ took from me and broke my fucking soul in ways that can never be repaired. I took this video about three months ago when I was having a mental health episode. Some days, the absolute worst pain in anguish that you could ever imagine comes over me. Fortunately, just like during hurricane search and rescue, I’ve learned how to film during high stress situations in order to catch the moment. And I wanted to catch these moments to let you know that they are not just happening for me, but to other January 6 defendant as well who have been completely destroyed. Most of you are on here complaining about me asking for $35 million when I literally put the facts in your face of Democrat judges admitting my constitutional and due process rights were violated and I was weaponized against in Washington DC by the Biden DOJ. I’d be willing to guarantee that 99% of you would’ve ended it by now. If you think that this almost hasn’t driven me to do the same, you’d be crazy. There are many days where I wake up and I feel like I have nothing left to live for. And I want to set the record clear… This is not directed at anybody else other than the DOJ. Had it not been for their lies, their misuse of force, they’re overreaching an extend extending power to not just myself, but my family, employees, friends, and anybody else that knew me personally.. Had it not been for the DOJ withholding evidence about FBI agents/informants who literally infiltrated my rescue organization for the purposes of entrapping me on January 6th.. Had it not been for the DOJ infiltrating the crowd to inside a riot.. Had it not been for the DOJ, I might still have a relationship with my children. But because I can point all of the wrongdoing back to the DOJ and trapping not just myself but other American citizens, they must pay and they must pay handsomely. Because there is truly no amount of money, they can fix what they have taken from me. The mental pain and anguish that I deal with on a daily basis is unlike anything that I’ve ever experienced before my life. I thought that upon leaving prison with a pardon, and then Ed Martin dismissing my charges with prejudice, that my life would get better. It has only gotten worse. I cannot get a job just because I’m a January 6 defendant. I cannot get legal representation because I’m a January 6 defendant. I am constantly having my life threatened both online and off-line because I am a January 6 defendant. Whenever I go out, it’s noticeable the amount of eyes that are on me when I go into town. It’s not just me saying something, my parents and anybody else it’s with me at that moment can see it as well. And this isn’t just happening to me. This is happening to January 6 defendant across the board. It would be one thing if we were wrong. But as President Trump said, we were right. And because we were right, and you tortured and abuse us, you owe us big time. I’ve been quiet, long enough, but I’ve been tortured in my mind long enough now. I can no longer sit by and act like what took place normal or OK. Read the full case files here:

"Mike - OMG, I just saw a promo for the new season of Deadliest Catch and you are SO YOUNG! I never knew you were actually in the show. Why aren’t you still? Congratulations on 20 years!" Denise Rigel Hi Denise Yeah, I saw that too. 20 years. Don’t they go by in a blink? The story of why I’m not the host of Deadliest Catch begins with the fact that 20 years ago, Dirty Jobs was not yet a hit on Discovery, and the network didn’t really know what to do with me. Back in 2004, the pilot episodes for DJ were considered to be “off-brand,” and Discovery had no plans to take the show to series. They liked me, though, and started sending me around the world on a series of expeditions. One of those trips was to a place called Dutch Harbor, Alaska, to bear witness to life on a crab boat. Well, bear witness I did. I was up there in October of 2004, hosting a show that was not yet a show, trying with the producers to figure out if we were filming a documentary, a reality show, a competition show, or a mini-series. It still wasn’t clear three months later, in January of 2005, when I returned to host the snow crab season. That was the year that Deadliest Catch, tragically, lived up to its name, when six men died in the course of filming the show. And that’s when everyone stepped back and said, “Wait…what is this thing, exactly? How can so much danger be an everyday part of getting a job done?” Later that year, Deadliest Catch and Dirty Jobs both went into full scale production, and cable television was forever changed. That's not hyperbole. The number of work-themed shows that evolved directly from the success of those two shows is stunning. Discovery, quite wisely, determined that Catch needed a narrator, not a host. Thus, all of my on-camera stuff was cut from Season 1. I was, however, invited to narrate the show, which I was honored to do. In fact, I’m headed to the studio right now to do a few more episodes for Season 20, which premieres tonight at 8pm, on Discovery. Check it out, and be reminded once again of a great and abiding truth, proven every year now for the last two decades – you can’t script The Bering Sea. A big thanks to the captains and their crews, for sharing their world with the rest of us. And to all of the producers and cameramen who made it happen. And to Discovery, for giving us a home. It’s a hell of an accomplishment.

Zeudi: Rachele reminded me of something very important. So I’m going to talk to you about it—a really important topic focused on a somewhat delicate issue that’s been going on for quite a while and that is absolutely not beneficial for my work situation. Basically, guys, I need to tell you that on a certain social platform—Instagram—I honestly don’t know who’s doing it, but for quite some time now one person, or maybe multiple people, have been buying bots for my IG profile. And this completely messes up my dashboard and, as a result, also my collaborations and my work in general. On top of that, my profile could even be suddenly shut down because of this excessive activity—yes, exactly—caused by these bots. Now, I don’t even think it’s haters, because up to a certain point this kind of thing costs money. It would have to be someone at a really extreme level of malice. I mean, I do think people like that exist, but I don’t think most people would spend their own money like that—it would be a very serious kind of issue. I don’t really think that’s the case. Instead, I think it might be some over-the-top fan, or someone who wants to help me but doesn’t realize they’re actually making things worse. So I’m saying this clearly: I don’t know if it’s a hater trying to damage me by spending thousands of euros a month buying bots and making me lose collaborations, or if it’s someone overly obsessed—a fanatic—buying views and likes and basically ruining everything for me. Or maybe it’s someone who genuinely thinks they’re doing me a favor, but they’re not. Also, in life, you have to understand that not everything can be bought with money. I’m speaking generally here—not everything can be purchased. So please, please, if it’s any of you—even though I don’t think it is—stop buying anything for me. Let’s see if things change. If they do, then maybe it really was someone trying to help out of affection, but actually doing harm instead—and they can get back on track and stop. Otherwise, it’s just a seriously unwell hater at an extreme level, someone who, instead of spending money on their own life and well-being, spends it trying to damage my Instagram dashboard—which honestly sounds pretty strange. So yeah, please. I personally don’t think it’s haters, because this has been going on for months. I think it’s either someone trying to help in the wrong way or, fundamentally, a fanatic. Because there’s a difference between fans and fanatics. And in every fandom, there are always a few people who go a bit off track. Chat: Investigate and you’ll find out. Zeudi: Hmm… it’s difficult. Really difficult. But I just want to say this to that person—if you are someone who follows me constantly: regardless of everything, you are not helping me. Because then a hater might think, “Finally, she said it,” okay, fine. But honestly, it would have to be a very rich person who hates me to keep this up. Chat: Hide the likes for a while, maybe they’ll calm down. Zeudi: Oh, can you do that? But they also buy views, guys—that’s the point. They buy views too. Hiding likes doesn’t change anything. There are still views—too many views sometimes—and they don’t match anything. And they’re always the same, constant across almost every video, and that’s not good. And I know that even talking about this right now might work against me, but I need to put a stop to it, otherwise I can’t go on. Aside from not being able to work, there’s another issue: my account could just get shut down, and I’d have to start from scratch. Do you understand? So please, whoever you are—stop. Just stop. And if you’re a hater, then whatever… eventually you’ll run out of money. Let’s see. Let’s see. Let’s see.

“There is a breakaway civilization.” “I don’t think it’s a government entity.” And they may live off-planet. “The Pentagon every once in a while announces: we’ve misplaced $1 trillion.” “What they’re really saying is: we’ve hidden that from you.” Whitley Strieber just dropped shocking claims about deep state UFO reverse-engineering programs. His alien abduction story has become one of the famous abduction cases out there. But he’s convinced that he was also visited by a deep state “breakaway civilization.” This is his story: “The cabin that we lived in … was very isolated.” “It’s a summer night, windows are open.” “Suddenly, I hear … the sound clearly of a car rolling into the driveway.” “So I’m immediately frightened.” “I’m starting to go for the shotgun.” “I see, at that moment, two people standing at the foot of the bed.” “I have not seen them come in.” “They’re already on top of me.” “The next thing I know … I am lying on my right side, facing my wife.” “They’re pushing down on the left side of my head.” “After a couple of seconds, they start to leave.” “I immediately try to jump up and follow them.” “They get out of the house.” “There’s a flash of light, and the sound of what sounds like people crashing through the woods.” “I note that the LED on the alarm system is still red. It’s not been tripped.” “I run through the whole house, looking for a point of entry.” “There is no point of entry.” “It is now completely silent. There’s nothing outside.” “And I’m left to think, what the hell? Did that happen or not?” “The next morning … the alarm system is still armed. Garage door’s wide open.” “So I call the alarm guy, and he comes over, and he says: there’s a huge magnetic field there. I have no idea how to explain it … and that’s what’s keeping the garage door from tripping the alarm.” “Richard Dolan talks about a breakaway civilization.” “I think I’m looking at a breakaway civilization’s actions on that night.” “At one point in my life, I was helping some people in the elected part of the government try to pin down some things involving an air base that wasn’t on the Pentagon’s roster.” “What was odd, there was no sign of any money going from the Treasury to the people on this air base.” “Yet they were receiving what looked like Treasury checks.” “Someone, somewhere, was paying them somehow, apparently out of the US Treasury, and they weren’t on any lists.” “That, to me, suggests some kind of government connection with something that isn’t being operated normally.” Tanya Dahl: “The breakaway society, are those people living on Earth?” Strieber: “Who knows?” “Maybe they can go places that most of us can’t go.” “But I do think they’re using our money, and a lot of it.” Cody Blue: “One of the most fascinating things when you analyze the phenomenon … of crashed UFOs or experiences, you always have those stories of the men in black, and they show up almost immediately.” “But you hear the same story in America, in Mexico, in Italy, and it makes you go, that’s not the American government.” “That’s something else … ” Whitley Strieber Acid For Squares

"I'm addressing you (Gerb) who lied, to look in the mirror. Frankly, you should be ashamed of yourself." I gave him my cell number and, 'he never called me once." ~Lue ~ Lue Elizondo: "Another allegation that was made during this interview (between Gerb and Ross Coulthart) was that somehow General Clapper and I had had colluded with one another to try to go ahead and and create this soft disclosure. And that we were going to go ahead and and manage it and control it. That is ONE THOUSAND percent not accurate. In fact, we never had such a conversation, and Jim Clapper and I never met to have that conversation. "So, again, it's factually not correct. And the problem is, is that you have an individual here (Gerb) who is sensationalizing stuff and making stuff up - quite frankly - who has ulterior motives, that's deceiving you. And furthermore, they're getting attention on a national news network - that, by the way, I respect, and that's always been a friend of disclosure - and now manipulating them and providing false information to their audience, to the point where they're like a tabloid, and I think this is problematic. "If you wanna know why I have always said I want to destroy ufology and replace it with something better, this is why. Because of bad actors like this. People who come out, they're just interested in clicks and likes. They're only interested in manufactured and false drama, and they're going about doing things that are actually putting disclosure further back than where we are. And this is a problem. "I'll share something else with you, too, another anecdote about to show you the character of this individual. Recently, as a month ago, I attended a function in Washington D.C. this individual happened to be there. I didn't know who he was, but I saw a circle of people surrounding him, and they were berating him. I worried for his kind of his safety to some degree, and maybe figured he was getting picked on, and walked over and interjected. "And, as I pulled him away, I was told, 'Hey, that's the guy that's been talking crap about everybody and been making things up.' So, I pulled him aside and I said, 'Hey, look, these people are obviously pretty upset with you. If you have any questions in the future, here's my personal cell phone number.' Now, this went against my better judgment, but I did it anyways. As you all know, I'm very open and transparent. "So I said, 'Look, if you ever have any questions, please give me a call.' And obviously, he he looked at me. He had what looked like tears in his eyes, and he looked at me, said, "Okay, sir. Yes, I promise. I'll do that. I'll make sure that that I call you if I have any questions in the future, and I won't do that, and just just start spewing off garbage'. And I said, 'Good. I appreciate that. You know, we can be friends. Whether you agree with me or not. I'm happy to give you information. Just reach out to me, and I can clarify stuff.' "Well, guess what? A month later, he goes on a network television series and and starts spewing off more crap that was completely wrong. He never called me once, right? So so what what kind of due diligence, investigative-type skill set does it require just to go out and make up stuff about people, right? "And this why we're having a problem. If you want to know what's wrong with the UFO community, you have people out there. And by the way, yes, I'm addressing you (Gerb) who lied, to look in the mirror. You're the reason why we're having this problem with disclosure. You're the reason why people don't take this topic seriously. And frankly, you should be ashamed of yourself. "I know I'm ashamed for what you did. You should be embarrassed. And the fact that you're talking to people and claiming you have access to stuff you don't? I don't ever remember you in any of the meetings that I was at at the Pentagon or at AATIP, quite frankly. In fact, if you want inside information, going to talk to somebody and saying you have an inside source, as far as I'm concerned, that's called gossip. That's not information." (Lue went on to suggest what sounded to me like a possible lawsuit against Gerb. To be honest, when I first heard Gerb say this, I thought it was a potential slander issue. But it's hard to win a lawsuit with that if the person (Lue) is a public person.)

My most PERSONAL post yet. Growing up, like so many kids, I was consumed by football. One of my earliest memories is religiously reading Match Magazine word for word every Wednesday. I genuinely enjoyed playing, or at least the idea, but it was never a “comfortable” experience, especially in a team. I always felt I had the aptitude but aside from tenacity there was always a disconnect between idea and execution. I left grassroots football before I was a teenager never returning. Years later I was diagnosed with Dyspraxia, a condition affecting coordination, movement and processing. I never had much of a chance😂 Fair enough, you’re either good enough or you’re not. But it still stings knowing my entire grassroots “career” felt like a 45 minute cumulative cameo. Away from football, business and economics always made sense to me. Money, systems, processes. I loved it. I’d eventually graduate with an undergrad and a master’s in economics, but sport played its part throughout we My athletic “development” took years though I did too Taekwondo for a bit it wasn’t until I found CrossFit where I found what fitted me. Stayed consistent, got stronger and now the “uncoordinated” kid can now do things he never would’ve imagined. We keep building! In January 2021 I formed my concept. Drawing on my love for Moneyball. I set out to bring something different to the Irish football landscape with a thread: “50 Ways to Improve the League of Ireland.” 50 became 260. The ethos lives on. Once Irish Football Blog, our “rebrand” to IFB Media just made sense. IFB covers scouting, player profiling, journalism, sports marketing and more. Alumni of IFB now work in national, international media and football. 30,000+ followers, built from 458 in 2021, modest, but I’m proud. People call it a “passion project.” It’s more than that, it demands obsession. Even then you’re never too far from negativity, or condescending comments, and not even from “trolls.” Mainstream sources are as bad. But this kid who got 45 mins of grassroots football now runs a pretty cool football page? Funny how it works, ay? IFB isn’t going anywhere. Neither am I. Let’s see what’s next!

Mona Mona Lisa, I need yeah!🎶 lyric video edit below 😅 Took me two hours to piece together the missing lyrics* 😂 But lady, it was worth it! 🥹 j-hope’s Mona Lisa (and even Sweet Dreams) is a love letter to women! In his sexy yet romantic way, he delivers lyrics that feel like an intimate conversation—painting vivid emotions with every word. His storytelling, laced with that unmistakable melodic flow, sticks with you long after the song ends. “I like my girls”??? Didn’t that line just send butterflies straight to your core? It’s more than just words—it’s affirmation. He’s telling us we’re enough, we’re independent, we’re perfect just the way we are. We are our own sexy! “Looking just like a painting, don’t need no validation”—just like the Mona Lisa, a masterpiece, valuable & irreplaceable. He’s praising us, his girls, for embracing our own beauty and power. But let’s be real—this song is still SEXY AF 😭 He delivers it so subtly, yet the message is loud and clear 🥵 And that choreography?! No mercy. It’s driving us insane, making us all want to take him home 😆 j-hope 3.0 is a whole new level, and I’m obsessed. I loved him before, but now? Even more! He keeps surprising us, giving us more than we ever deserve 🥹😭 We need the official release ASAP—and PLEASE, we need a music video. This is his first fully choreographed song since CNS, and I just know he’s about to drop something legendary. I don’t think we’re getting the cute Sweet Dreams MV vibes this time… this one might just wreck us for eternity 😳 Kindly do not downlod/upload. embed only after 48 hrs 🙏🏻 tysm *some words might still be wrong. Crowd was insaenely loud 😍 but Earring with the DIAMOND 😳 ( what’s this ?

[NINE HEART PICKS] Hyein's First Impression of Minji_ 😳 From pre-debut practice room memories to her current performances on stage, Hyein shares nine personally selected memories 🖤 🐹: Hello Dazed! This is Hyein from NewJeans. I just finished a Dazed photoshoot, and I can’t wait for you to see the collaboration between Louis Vuitton, Dazed, and myself. Please look forward to it! Today, I’ll be sharing my 9 Heart Picks—nine unforgettable memories, moments, or scenes from before my debut to my current activities. This has been such a meaningful day for me because when we released the Supernatural album, I had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with Takashi Murakami, which was such a happy experience. Now, with another incredible chance to collaborate with Louis Vuitton for this photoshoot, I feel truly happy and deeply honored. 💬 You attended the Louis Vuitton show yesterday—was there a moment that stood out to you? 🐹: I took pictures with Bae Doona-nim. I was so happy. And when she told me how much she supports us, it was such a heartwarming moment. 💬 What standard did you use to prepare today’s 9 memories? 🐹: I prepared this without a fixed standard, more like following a personal timeline. So, I’ll present it that way. First, I chose ‘trainee.’ I was the last one to join and become part of the team as a trainee. What still leaves the strongest impression on me is when I first saw the older members—how could there be such beautiful and angelic people? They were so kind, pure, and innocent. And, of course, they were incredibly beautiful, as expected. Back then, everyone had such youthful and delicate energy compared to now. They were all so cute, and it was really meaningful to live together, train together, and prepare for one goal as a group. 💬 Who made the strongest first impression on you? 🐹: Minji-unnie! During the trainee period, there was a particularly tough time for us called the ‘monthly evaluation’ period. It’s a time when we have to perform what we’ve prepared in front of an audience. It was just before one of those evaluations, and I remember Minji-unnie wearing a black hoodie, sitting in a spinning chair in front of her computer, and looking so serious and a bit intimidating. I actually mentioned this to her later, and she said that she was really stressed out during that time and might have seemed scary because of it. That moment left such a strong impression on me. The second memory I’ll choose is summer. The reason it’s summer is that we debuted on July 22. When we debuted, the members and I all gathered in the dorm to watch the “Attention” music video together. We didn’t release any teasers or previews beforehand, so we were just waiting for the music video to come out, and we all watched it together in the living room. There are moments in life where you don’t realize how precious they are at the time, right? But that particular moment really hit me. I felt, Ah, this is such a special time. It was one of those moments where you could truly feel its significance. That’s why I chose it. Since the first one was summer, I’ll go with winter for the second. When I think of winter, the first thing that comes to mind is “Ditto.” Despite being a winter activity, it felt incredibly warm. It was our second comeback, and the music video had a rich storyline featuring a character named Ban Hee-soo. That character represents Bunnies, our fans. It was our first comeback with a music video that directly included Bunnies, and the whole preparation process felt like we were doing it together with them, making it a meaningful activity. Also, the song “Ditto” itself is so special. Every time I listen to it, it has this way of making my heart feel full and warm. It’s a song that turns winter into something cozy, so I chose our “Ditto” and “OMG” promotions as a special winter memory. 💬 What song do you listen to the most? 🐹: As for the songs I frequently listen to, I mostly play tracks from our recent album. But aside from those, I listen to "Ditto" quite often. For the fourth one… I’ll choose Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton… Oh, I see our team giving me a look, ㅋㅋㅋ. But it’s not just because this is a Louis Vuitton shoot. There are just so many precious memories I’ve made with Louis Vuitton. From the very first moment I got involved with Louis Vuitton, I’ve had the opportunity to experience things I would never have dreamed of if not for this partnership. For example, I got to visit Paris to attend their fashion show and witness the incredible presentations of a brand with such a long and rich history. Those experiences were truly invaluable. Even the photoshoots were such exciting and happy moments for me. So, I’m incredibly grateful to Louis Vuitton for everything. For the fifth one… Ah, what should I choose for the fifth? I’ll go with people. Why? Well, looking back, I’ve realized just how many amazing adults and wonderful people I’ve had around me. Especially recently, I’ve really felt grateful for the good people in my life. And of course, that includes Bunnies. The relationship we have with Bunnies feels so unique to me. I’d love to meet them more often, have more conversations, and connect with them on a deeper level. But there are so many reasons and times when that’s not possible. Even so, it’s truly amazing how much they continue to support and love us. I’m so thankful for that. Thank you! So, I chose people. The sixth is the stage. We had our second fan meeting at Tokyo Dome, and what really struck me at that time was how much the five of us were genuinely enjoying the stage. Seeing so many people who came to watch the performance enjoying themselves and sharing in the effort we poured into preparing the stage made me feel so proud. It gave me the feeling of, "Wow, something I love and worked hard on is being loved by so many people." That’s why each moment on stage is etched deeply in my memory. The seventh is preciousness. During "How Sweet" and "Supernatural" promotions, we really gave it our all. The choreography was made incredibly challenging, and the songs were amazing as well. While preparing so hard, I ended up getting injured, maybe because I pushed myself too much. After the injury, I found myself spending a lot of time alone, which gave me a chance to look after the members more closely. They’re such a team that just watching them makes me smile. I didn’t realize it before, but watching them made me laugh, and I found myself wanting to see their performances in person. So, in a way, the time I spent injured and observing from a different perspective turned out to be a necessary moment for me. When you’re just running forward, you don’t always realize what you’re doing. But after the injury, I had time to reflect and remind myself why we’re doing all of this. The eighth is something very obvious: Bunnies. That’s because ever since our debut, Bunnies have been with us in every single moment. That’s why I chose Bunnies. Among the times I’ve shared with Bunnies, there have been so many moments filled with happiness, sadness, excitement, and a range of emotions, which is why I picked Bunnies. Lastly, Dazed! This was my first time working with Dazed, and wow! Today’s photoshoot was so much fun, and the Dazed team was so warm and kind. Thank you so much for treating me so well—it was such a happy time. Please look forward to the Dazed photoshoot featuring Louis Vuitton collections by Takashi Murakami. I hope you love it and check it out a lot. Thank you! Today, I shared 9 memorable moments from my time with NewJeans. What are your favorite Hyein moments? #jeanzforfree #혜인 #Hyein #ヘイン #HyeinxLouisVuitton #LVxMurakami

We did something crazy. We told everyone that, for my 79th birthday, they could get my fitness app for free if they finished four programs in a year: And guess what? People responded. More than ever before. And even more important, thousands and thousands of people are now training and getting in shape. The sale ends tomorrow, though. And you can only get it through that link. Now, a smart consultant would say there is a chance that none of those people pay for the app and we end up completely stuck with the cost of running it. Good. Because that would mean that I got tens of thousands of people training for a full year. That’s a bigger win than anything on a spreadsheet. That’s why we are a consultant and investor-free business. If you want to join them with my birthday offer, you don’t have much more time: But one thing is staying: You’ll always be able to earn money back for doing the work. After tomorrow, people will pay $150 to start, then earn $50 back for their first program, and $50 back for their fourth program. $100 back, every year, forever. And I’m planning to add another $50 back if you get someone else to join and complete their first program, so yes: using my app for free will always be possible. People have always called me crazy, and it’s worked out pretty well for me. So why stop now? I believe that a good fitness business should be about what works, not about spreadsheets. Program start rates and program completion rates more than doubled in our January test of paying people back to finish a program. Those members are some of the most active in our community, encouraging all the new people who joined this week. The rewards in fitness have always been in the wrong place: for starting, instead of for being consistent. That’s what a January discount is, and it’s why most of the January crowd quits by February. We’ve found the structure that rewards consistent action. The Pump Club will be sticking with it. And if you want to make our CFO mad, you’ve got a little more than 24 hours to get back ALL of your money in your first year - before the birthday sale ends tomorrow:

Carlos Estévez on why Shohei Ohtani is an Android built on discipline and raw talent; (Written and translated by Master Flip) He’s a robot. Straight up, that guy’s a robot. He’s in a league of his own. His routine, the way he prepares from the moment he steps on the field, the discipline it takes to be ready for a 2 p.m. first pitch, it’s not easy. But that discipline is incredible. And it’s where the whole talent vs. hard work debate gets real. I’m a firm believer in hard work. I’m the kind of guy who was made through grind, I don’t have natural gifts like that. I’ve always said hard work beats talent when talent slacks off. But Ohtani? He’s the rare combination of both. That’s how you end up with an Android. As a hitter, he barely needs BP on the field. He heads straight to the cage, does a drill going the other way, and that’s it. Hitting is hard, everyone knows it, but this guy does minimal tuning and still turns into a beast at the plate. Pitching, though? That’s where he puts in the real work. He comes out, throws weighted balls, drills his mechanics, grinds on every detail. Maybe it’s because pitching is the side where he’s humanely made, but he’s naturally a hitter, that’s the way I see it. Either way, his ability is unreal. One time, he made an out against Michael King’s sinker and immediately asked, “What was that? A sinker? How do you grip it?” The very next day in the bullpen, he’s out there throwing sinkers. The day before he pitches, he’ll throw maybe 10–15 pitches in the pen. Then, three pitches into his start the next day, boom, a sinker! I’m sitting there thinking, How?! I’ve spent a thousand years trying to perfect a nasty slider, and he just picks up something new and drops it in game like it’s nothing. The lifestyle that level of player lives is tough. Guys like Trout are the same way, they have to stay low key because everyone knows them. At the ’23 All-Star Game, I flew with Ohtani, hung out with him the whole time until we got to the hotel. Once we arrived, it was straight to the back entrance for him, different access. I just said, goodbye Charlie, I’ll see you later, and went off with the regular mortals. But we bonded over the little things. I play video games, watch anime and read manga, he does too. That’s how we became close. This year at the All Star Game, he was repping the NL and I was on the AL side. He waited for me. My oldest daughter yelled “Ohtani!” and he recognized her right away, so he held up just to talk to me. That’s who he is, he’s a superstar among superstars. All the other MLB stars want pics with him. He’s the only one on that level. I’m not exaggerating. There’s that famous video from the ’23 All Star Game where he was about to take a selfie and the phone almost dropped. It was with me, he was coming over to snap a pic, but I yanked him out of the swarm. Everyone was crowding him with, “Let’s take a pic! Let’s take a pic!” I yelled, “Ohtani, let’s take a pic!” and he ran straight to me. He took the selfie, the phone nearly slipped, that’s the clip that went viral. When we got inside, he looked at me and said, “Thank you.” He noticed right away. He’s not gonna call anyone out or act rude, he just handles it with class.” 🎥 Abriendo Sports

My official resignation from playstation video Due to corruption and oppression with evidence. The translation isnt very accurate and goes fast sometimes so i will write the story here. I know its a long video but its a must watch -------- Keep in mind this isnt about you support or hate me.. its about sensitive data leakage and company corruption so everyone is in it! -------- I was going to release this video few months back but i held back due to the problem being solved and i kept quiet. Here is my story before i start i want to introduce my self to the people who dont know me. My name is AbdulHakam AKA Hakoom i love playing video games since the 80s and got hooked up with the playstation brand back in 1996.. in 2007 the online system came on the ps3 and i created my playstation acc back then, later on playstation released the trophy system and i was able to achieve the 1st rank in 2009 and in 2018/2019 i entered Guinness 5 times.. later at 2021 i retired unofficially due to the garbage 1$ shovelware getting out of hand on psn. I then had a partnership with playstation and i started receiving review codes and hardware for reviewing All was good until sept 9. on sept 9 my acc was permanently suspended for no reason and i received no email at all.. even when i talked to customer support they didnt help at all i was then lucky to get in touch with another department and they said they will look in to the matter few days later i received a msg on whatsapp from a random person saying my datas are leaked on the internet and the user is bribing playstation employees and stealing user datas and selling/banning them ( all photos and evidence are in the video) The photos clearly show playstation admin computers which no user can access on a normal computer this information was all forwarded to playstation for investigation.. the scammer even called me and tried to get private datas from me which is showin in the video too and that was also forwarded to playstation. After all that mountain of evidence playstation replies and i was shocked!!! They said you have violations 1- you platinumed games which require 100h to platinum in few hours 2- You completed games in 0 mins 3- you logged in over 2000 accs on your playstations 4- you logged in 29 playstations I was like wth? what is the game which i platinum in few hours and req 100? psnprofiles would insta flag me for that... then i remembered something called auto trophy pops or platinum pops which all of you trophy hunter know.. If you platinum Spiderman for example on ps4 in 50h then boot up the ps5 version you earn it in 1min that's something normal and the system is implemented by playstation them selves.. ( google auto trophy pop) so auto pop is a ban able offense now? and regarding the 0 min games there are loads of games on PlayStation which can be completed/platinumed in 10 seconds 20 seconds 30 seconds etc... every trophy hunter knows this Why those employees dont understand there own system? do i need to teach them all this? and regarding the 2000 accs I have been playing since 2007 thats 17 years you think as a trophy hunter i will not have alot of accs for dead online games? and i have alot of users lending me games which playstation themselves said game sharing is fine. regarding the 29 consoles again.. 17 years i had over 10 ps3s 5 or 6 ps4s 4 ps vitas 2 ps5s 2 pstvs So your acc is bound to 1 console and you can put it on another? what i see from this is playstation is running away from the real issue which is user data leakage and just threw me under the bus so they put this issue under the rug and get it over with.. companies will always blame the user for there mistakes If your acc gets banned or email changed for no reason that is 100% stolen with this method and your datas are on the blackmarket there is no other explanation and its over for you. so as you see guys how can i trust a company who sells user datas to some scammers on the internet and get away with it. Even after the mountain of evidence i showed they still wouldnt accept it and just told me we will raise the ban after 45 days.. they also removed me from the partnership program.. My acc is back yes but i cant live with this opression and corruption ! so i had to share the story with everyone The videos shows evidence of user data leakage from telegram groups including a staff from granturismo company polyphony and the num2 trophy hunter on psn I have more images but i just posted a few in the video It clearly shows playstation admin computers.. and not a normal user computer what do you think? keeping the love and hate about hakoom aside.. your datas are being sold on the blackmarket and this is corruption as i see it I hope the CEO of playstation looks in to this and solves this matter ASAP . any media who wants more details or a story re this matter please contact me on my email [email protected] #playstation #hakoom

Hiring? Ex-Air Canada worker and terrorist supporter is looking for work We have yet another update on the not-so-sensational Sammy Allouba. Allouba is the now ex-Air Canada employee, who until recently, worked out of Toronto Pearson International Airport. Allouba had access to luggage and aircraft. That was a tad problematic given his vile social media postings. You see, Allouba went out of his way to convey hatred against Jews, Israelis, Iranians, and even anti-Hamas Palestinians. He also glorified designated terrorist groups and individual terrorists. Don’t know about you, but we wouldn’t want to see this wannabe-jihadi working at a corner gas station much less Canada’s largest airport. But when Rebel News exposed this charmer last month, Air Canada ended up terminating him. As to why Air Canada tolerated this individual for so long is beyond our paygrade. But nevertheless, Air Canada did do the right thing albeit for the wrong reason. Which is to say, the airline fired Allouba so it wouldn’t endure any more bad publicity. But a win is a win, we suppose. Of note, Allouba was also pursuing a side hustle. He’s an aspiring actor, you see. He was represented by a Toronto-based agency called The Casting Solution. You might notice we’re using the past-tense, because when the agency’s principal, Samantha Rose, learned of his hatred online, suddenly Allouba was no longer represented by her agency. You see, there aren’t many TV and movie productions out there keen on hiring terrorism supporters. And so it is as they say in Hollywood, Sammy’s never going to have lunch in this town again… In the aftermath, Allouba scrubbed his social media. But just the other day, like a piece of rancid driftwood, he resurfaced on Facebook under the handle of Sammy AI. I don’t know if AI stands for Artificial Intelligence or Absence of Intelligence. But never mind. Here’s what Allouba had to say in a post entitled, “Feeling drained”: “Good morning everyone. Yes, I’m back.” “Everyone.” Who’s everyone? Who in their right mind gives a rodent’s rectum about Sammy Allouba? Let’s continue: “So, here’s the short version. Since the end of January I have been dealing with an extremely unfortunate situation that came up at work. I don’t want to get into details here.” Oh, why don’t you want to get into details, Sammy? Are you maybe ashamed of the details? By the way, here are some of those “details” Allouba once shared with the world via social media. For starters, Allouba openly called for the elimination of almost 10 million Israelis. He wanted to see that task carried out by the Iranian regime (even though the mullahs would seem to have their hands full at the moment…) Allouba also states he’s a proud supporter of designated terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. He even praises Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel. Notably, it’s not just Israelis and Jews Allouba hates. He has also expressed interest in seeing anti-regime Iranians murdered. Same goes for anti-Hamas Palestinians. Allouba pretty much loathes anyone that chooses civilization over savagery. Let’s continue with his most recent post: “Those of you who see me in-person know what I’m referring to and I love you for your support.” Say, what’s the over/under line for the number of Sammy Allouba supporters out there? We’re going to set it at 4. Let’s carry on: “I’m sad to say that it’s cost me my job at Air Canada, a job you all know I really enjoyed and cherished, and it’s cost me my representation with talent agency. At the moment, I’m looking for new F/T work. As far as my representation goes… that might take a minute. I’m handling everything as best I can, but to say my mental health has taken a beating is putting it mildly.” Oh-oh! Red alert! Are you taking notes RCMP and CSIS? We have someone on team terror that is confessing to a mental health crisis. Call us overcautious, but you might want to pay Sammy a house call… Now the following statement raises even more red flags methinks: “My work union is doing what they can for me with regard to getting my job back, but the outlook isn’t great.” This is staggering. Instead of Sammy’s union saying “good luck and good riddance” to him, the union allegedly thinks Allouba should remain with the rank and file? Really? Why? Whatever happened to public safety being paramount? Indeed, what was Air Canada supposed to do once Allouba was exposed? How many times in the aftermath of a mass shooting do we hear the refrain of, “If only there were telltale signs that the individual had mayhem on his mind?” Sammy Allouba gleefully stated his agenda in black and white. He is the author of his own misfortune. But allow us to continue with Allouba’s whine-fest: “If anyone knows of any fruitful F/T work opportunities, please send it my way. It would mean the world to me. I hate asking, but here I am. I know I’ll be fine in the end, but I certainly don’t feel like it right now.” Two things: this boo-hoo/woe is me post is right out of the Islamist playbook. Which is to say, when all else fails, play the victim card. Secondly, where is the contrition? Where is the apology for all those previous vile postings? There is none. Clearly this rabid leopard is not changing his spots. Third, everyone’s gotta eat, right? So, we appeal to you, dear viewers: do you have a suggestion for poor Sammy re: a future employment opportunity? Something, of course, that does not involve this cat being anywhere near the aviation business. REPORT by David Menzies:

“CPAC? Really, Mike? Since you’re now officially out of the closet, are you still going to insist that you’re not a Republican stooge? I’m guessing you will. Go ahead, prove me wrong.” Carol Blevins Hi Carol The only way I can prove you wrong is by ignoring you, which is tempting, since there’s no hope in trying to change the mind of a person who doesn’t like me but follows me anyway. On the other hand, it’s entirely possible that other people on this page who share your disappointment - but not your lack of manners – might be curious to know why I accepted an invitation to speak at the largest gathering of conservatives in the country. So, I’ll answer your question with them in mind, and do so by sharing an open letter I wrote to Barack Obama sixteen years ago, shortly after I launched mikeroweWORKS. You can read it here/ That letter was posted in 2009, when the country was entering a recession and lots of people were unemployed. In an effort to get America back to work, President Obama pledged to create three million “shovel ready” jobs as part of his Highway Infrastructure Act. In my letter to him, I wished the new President every success, but shared my concern that many of the business owners I had met on Dirty Jobs were already struggling to fill thousands of “shovel ready” positions. According to the BLS, even with twelve million people out of work, 2.3 million of these "shovel ready" positions remained open, many in manufacturing and the skilled trades. Despite the mainstream assumption that more jobs would automatically lead to less unemployment, it seemed pretty clear that the skills gap was not a consequence of too few jobs, but rather, a consequence of too little enthusiasm for the jobs that already existed. In other words, along with the skills gap, there was also a “will gap.” It seemed to me that “creating” more shovel ready jobs would be a tough sell to a country that was not all that excited about picking up a shovel. That’s when I started to incorporate recruiting messages into every episode of Dirty Jobs. And that’s why I offered to help the Obama administration make a more persuasive case for the new “shovel ready” opportunities they hoped to create, by partnering with mikeroweWORKS. To be honest, I didn’t really expect President Obama to respond to a guy who had become famous for crawling through sewers, but it never hurts to ask – especially when you’re trying to raise awareness about an issue that impacts every American. And so, I wasn’t discouraged when my offer was ignored. In fact, over the last sixteen years, I’ve made similar offers to other presidents, and other elected officials. I’ve met with several governors, partnered with several likeminded state-run initiatives, and spoken to Congress, twice, about the importance a national campaign to reinvigorate the trades. Unfortunately, the “will gap” is still with us. Today, 7.2 million able-bodied men are not only unemployed, they’re not even looking for work. And still, according to the BLS, we now have 7.6 million open jobs - most of which do NOT require a four-year degree. In part, I think the “will gap” is a consequence of stigmas, stereotypes, myths and misperceptions that dissuade millions of people from considering a career in the trades. I think it’s critical to debunk those misperceptions with real-world examples, and mikeroweWORKS does that every day. But there’s nothing we can do about the underlying math, which is exacerbating the problem exponentially. Consider: for every five skilled workers who retire this year, two will replace them. It’s been that way for over a decade, and the arithmetic is clearly not sustainable. In fact, every big company in the country that relies on skilled labor – including those responsible for our national defense – is in desperate need of skilled labor, and competing with each other to get it. And now, President Trump wants to create more skilled jobs by bringing manufacturing back to America. As with President Obama, I wish President Trump every success. I want our country to be less reliant on China, and less dependent on foreign workers. But my questions today are no different than they were sixteen years ago – if the President succeeds with his objective, where will the skilled workers come from? As of last February, there were 600 hundred thousand open jobs in the manufacturing sector. If we can’t fill the jobs that already exist, how will we fill the jobs the president wishes to create? How will we persuade the next generation to give the skilled trades an honest look? At mikeroweWORKS, the answer is simple. We award work ethic scholarships to people who qualify, and then, after they begin their career of choice, we share their stories as widely as possible. Stories like Johnny Goodson’s, a former musician who found a rewarding career repairing heavy equipment. Johnny is one of 2,200 people we’ve assisted to date, who found a new and rewarding life in the skilled trades. Its stories like his that need to be shared far and wide, so please help me do so. As for my party affiliation, it’s hardly a secret. I’m a registered Independent, and have been for some time. It’s true that I hold some conservative opinions, but those opinions haven't kept me from addressing dozens of liberal organizations over the years, or from appearing on countless liberal outlets to talk about this issue. Nor do my political opinions keep me from encouraging you, Carol, or any other liberal leaning person you might know, to apply for a work ethic scholarship from This month, we have $2.5 million dollars set aside to help train the next generation of skilled workers. I wish we had ten times the amount, because as of today, we have ten times the number of applicants we did a year ago. Anyway, that’s why I went to CPAC. To let them know that we’re moving the needle, and to invite them to help us move it further still. The stakes are very high. In my view, closing the skills gap is now a matter of national security, and something ambitious needs to be done to reinvigorate the trades. We're doing what we can at mikeroweWORKS, and I welcome all the help I can get.

Ahead of tonight's Al Smith Dinner, watch President Trump's amazing and hysterical 2016 speech roasting Hillary Clinton. Kamala was terrified of being mocked like this and exposed for her anti-Catholic bigotry, which is why she's refusing to appear in person at tonight's Catholic charity dinner: "This is a helluva dinner. Well I want to thank Your Eminence. This is really great to be with you again. Beloved Governor Cuomo, our great senators. Hi Chuck. He used to love me when I was a Democrat you know. (LAUGHTER) Mayor de Blasio. Wherever you are. Where’s Mayor de Blasio? (inaudible) See in the old days I would have know him very well but I haven’t doing so much of the real estate any (ph). And I want to thank Al and Ann (ph) Smith, just a fantastic job you do with the dinner. Congratulations on a record – over $6 million, right? He’s got a record. (APPLAUSE) And a special hello to all of you in this room who have known and loved me for many, many years. It’s true. The politicians. They’ve had me to their homes, they’ve introduced me to their children, I’ve become their best friends in many instances. They’ve asked for my endorsement and they always wanted my money. And even called me really a dear, dear friend. But then suddenly, decided when I ran for president as a Republican, that I’ve always been a no-good, rotten, disgusting scoundrel. And they totally forgot about me. But that’s OK. You know, they say when you do this kind of an event you always start out with a self-deprecating joke. Some people think this would be tough for me, but the truth is … (LAUGHTER) It’s true — the truth is I’m actually a modest person. Very modest. It’s true. In fact many people tell me that modesty is perhaps my best quality. (LAUGHTER) Even better than my temperament. (LAUGHTER) You know Cardinal Dolan and I have some things in common. For instance, we both run impressive properties on Fifth Avenue. Of course his is much more impressive than mine. That’s because I built mine with my own beautifully formed hands. (LAUGHTER) While his was built with the hands of God, and nobody can compete with God. Is that correct? Nobody. Right? (APPLAUSE) That’s right. No contest. It’s great to be here with a thousand wonderful people, or, as I call it, a small intimate dinner with some friends. Or as Hillary calls it, her largest crowd of the season. (LAUGHTER) Ahh, this stuff. This is corny stuff. I do recognize that I come into this event with a little bit of an advantage. I know that so many of you in the archdiocese already have a place in your heart for a guy who started out as a carpenter working for his father. I was a carpenter working for mine. (LAUGHTER) True. Not for a long period of time but I was. For about three weeks. What’s great about the Al Smith Dinner is that even in the rough and tumble world of a really, really hard-fought campaign – in fact I don’t know if you know Hillary but last night they said, “That was the most vicious debate in the history of politics, presidential debate. The most vicious.” And I don’t know – are we supposed to be proud of that or where are we supposed to be on that one. But they did say that and I’m trying to think back to Lincoln. I don’t think we can compete with that. But the candidates have some light-hearted moments together, which is true. I have no doubt that Hillary is going to laugh quite a bit tonight, sometimes even at appropriate moments. (LAUGHTER) And even tonight, with all of the heated back and forth, between my opponent and me at the debate last night, we have proven that we can actually be civil to each other. In fact, just before taking the dais, Hillary accidentally bumped into me and she very civilly said, “Pardon me.” (LAUGHTER) And I very politely replied, “Let me talk to you about that after I get into office.” (LAUGHTER) Just kidding, just kidding. And Hillary was very gracious. She said if somehow she gets elected she wants me to be, without question, either her ambassador to Iraq or to Afghanistan. It’s my choice. (LAUGHTER) But one of the things I noticed tonight – and I’ve known Hillary for a long time – this is the first time ever, ever, that Hillary is sitting down and speaking to major corporate leaders and not getting paid for it. (LAUGHTER) It’s true. It’s true. You know, last night, I called Hillary a “nasty woman,” but this stuff is all relative. After listening to Hillary rattle on and on and on, I don’t think so badly of Rosie O’Donnell anymore. (LAUGHTER) In fact, I’m actually starting to like Rosie a lot. (LAUGHTER) These events give not only the candidates a chance to be with each other in a very social setting; it also allows the candidates the opportunity to meet the other candidate’s team — good team. I know Hillary met my campaign manager, and I got the chance to meet the people who are working so hard to get her elected. There they are — the heads of NBC, CNN, CBS, ABC — there’s the New York Times, right over there, and the Washington Post. (LAUGHTER) They’re working overtime. True. True. (APPLAUSE) Oh, this one’s going to get me in trouble. (LAUGHTER) Not with Hillary. You know, the president told me to stop whining, but I really have to say, the media is even more biased this year than ever before — ever. You want the proof? Michelle Obama gives a speech and everyone loves it — it’s fantastic. They think she’s absolutely great. My wife, Melania, gives the exact same speech — (LAUGHTER) — and people get on her case. (APPLAUSE) And I don’t get it. I don’t know why. (APPLAUSE) And it wasn’t her fault. Stand up, Melania. Come on. She took a lot of abuse. (APPLAUSE) Oh, I’m in trouble when I go home tonight. I’m — she didn’t know about that one. Am I okay? Is it okay? Cardinal, please speak to her. (LAUGHTER) I’d like to address an important religious matter: the issue of going to confession. Or, as Hillary calls it, the Fourth of July weekend with FBI Director Comey. (LAUGHTER) Now, I’m told Hillary went to confession before tonight’s event, but the priest was having a hard time, when he asked about her sins, and she said she couldn’t remember 39 times. (LAUGHTER) Hillary is so corrupt, she got kicked off the Watergate Commission. How corrupt do you have to be to get kicked off the Watergate Commission? Pretty corrupt. Hillary is, and has been, in politics since the 70s. What’s her pitch? The economy is busted? The government’s corrupt? Washington is failing? “Vote for me. I’ve been working on these problems for 30 years. I can fix it”, she says. I wasn’t really sure if Hillary was going to be here tonight, because I guess you didn’t send her invitation by email. Or, maybe, you did and she just found out about it through the wonder of WikiLeaks. (LAUGHTER) We’ve learned so much from WikiLeaks. For example, Hillary believes that it’s vital to deceive the people by having one public policy — — and a totally different policy in private. That’s okay. I don’t know who they’re angry at Hillary, you or I. For example, here she is tonight, in public, pretending not to hate Catholics. Now some of you haven’t noticed, Hillary isn’t laughing as much as the rest of us. That’s because she knows the jokes. And all of the jokes were given to her in advance of the dinner by Donna Brazile. Which is – everyone knows, of course, Hillary’s belief that it takes a village, which only makes sense after all in places like Haiti, where she’s taken a number of them. Thank you. I don’t know – and I don’t want this evening without saying something nice about my opponent. Hillary has been in Washington a long time. She knows a lot about how government works. And according to her sworn testimony Hillary has forgotten more things than most of us will ever, ever, ever know. That I can tell you. We’re having some fun here tonight and that’s good. On a personal note, what an amazing honor it is to be with all of you. And I want to congratulate Hillary on getting the nomination and we’re in there fighting and over the next 19 days somebody’s going to be chosen. We’ll see what happens. But I have great memories of coming to this dinner with my father over the years when I was a young man. Great experience for me. This was always a special experience for him and me to be together. One thing we can all agree on is the need to support the great work that comes out of the dinner. Millions of dollars have been raised to support disadvantaged children, and I applaud the many people who have worked to make this wonderful event a critical lifeline for children in need. (APPLAUSE) And that we together broke the all-time record tonight is really something special. More than $6 million net, net, net, net. The cardinal told me that’s net net, Donald, remember. We can also agree on the need to stand up to anti-Catholic bias, to defend religious liberty and to create a culture that celebrates life. America is in many ways divided … (APPLAUSE) Thank you. America is in many ways divided like it’s never been before. And the great religious leaders here tonight give us all an example that we can follow. We’re living in a time, an age that we never thought possible before. The vicious barbarism we read about in history books, but never thought we’d see it in our so-called modern- day world. Who would have thought we would be witnessing what we’re witnessing today. We’ve got to be very strong, very, very smart, and we’ve got to come together not only as a nation, but as a world community. Thank you very much, God bless you and God bless America. Thank you. (APPLAUSE) Thank you. Thank you very much."
