Trump announces that we have a deal with Iran that will end the war. I am having my doubts.
Elon Musk passes a major milestone and everyone on the Left is really ticked off about it.
And we had a huge sports weekend. Let’s talk about that.
Yeah. I’ll Wait and See
Some things:
- It’s not a peace deal. It’s a memorandum of understanding.
- No information about the deal has been released.
- Hezbollah attacked Israel on Saturday, presumably on orders of Iran.
- Who likes this deal? Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, and Iran.
- They SHOULD NOT be holding a signing ceremony.
Congrats Elon!
According to the Mary Sue:
Elon Musk has officially broken the record for becoming the worldâs first trillionaire. Online reactions have varied, with some congratulating Musk and others criticizing the obscene wealth he has amassed.
According to Bloomberg, Tesla and SpaceX founder became the worldâs richest man in history after his net worth reached $1.1 trillion. SpaceX managed to raise $75 billion in an initial public offering (IPO) after its trading launch on Friday. When the market closed, Muskâs shares in SpaceX were worth $767.1 billion. He also held $53.8 billion in SpaceX options. Muskâs trillionaire status is further solidified by his holdings of $168 billion in Tesla shares and $116.4 billion in options.
Some things:
- Elon Musk does not have a trillion dollars.
- He has stocks that are worth a trillion.
- The stocks are volatile. They go up and down.
- He takes a salary of about $60,000 a year. The rest of his salary comes in the form of stocks.
- He cannot sell the stocks to get his trillion dollars because the shares would plummet.
- Basically, by him owning stocks, he is reinvesting into his own company.
The responses were hysterical and economically naieve:
One comment on X sarcastically reads, âCapitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare.â
âCanât stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the worldâs first trillionaire while he single-handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.â
Sen. Elizabeth Warren weighed in and called for action. She wrote on X, âElon Musk just became the worldâs first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Muskâs level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.â
Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has been vocal against billionaires, also raised opposition to Muskâs newly gained status. He said on X, âToday, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.â

Dumbass of the Day
Somethings:
- She has no idea what masculinity is. She’s a woman.
- You know what men don’t talk about? How they are masculine.
- I wonder if this “journalist” would ask Brad Pitt what he thought about his masculinity? She wouldn’t.
- Eliot’s (Ellen) mannerisms are all feminine.
- This is the most feminine conversation ever.
What Would Happen If They Lost
According to Perplexity:
New York saw large, chaotic street celebrations that turned violent in parts of Midtown Manhattan, especially around Times Square and near Madison Square Garden, after the Knicks clinched their first NBA title in 53 years.
When and where it happened
- The unrest began late Saturday night, June 13, 2026, shortly after the Knicks won the championship in Game 5.
- Crowds swelled to tens of thousands in Midtown, centered around Madison Square Garden, Broadway, and Times Square (roughly 34thâ43rd Streets, between about 5th and 9th Avenues).
Scale: arrests and injuries
- NYPD reports 63 arrests tied to the celebrations, with charges including assault on a police officer, weapons possession, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstructing governmental administration.
- Ten NYPD officers were injured; incidents included one officer punched in the face and another hit with a glass bottle.
- A 17âyearâold was shot near 42ndâ43rd Street and Broadway; police transported him in an NYPD vehicle because an ambulance could not get through the crowd. He was reported injured but alive/expected to survive.
- Police and media also reported four stabbing or slashing incidents during the mayhem.
Property damage and specific incidents
- Five yellow school buses, being used as World Cup shuttles, were either set on fire or heavily damaged (windows smashed, people jumping on roofs, battering them with bats) in and around Times Square.
- Several NYPD vehicles were damaged, with windshields smashed and people climbing on top of cars.
- Private vehicles and some storefronts in Midtown also suffered broken windows and other vandalism, according to police descriptions of âcriminal mischiefâ and onâscene reporting.
- Fireworks were lit in dense crowds, and people were seen climbing light poles, scaffolding, and statues, further adding to safety concerns.
Police response and crowd dynamics
- NYPD had anticipated trouble based on earlier playoffâround incidents and deployed officers in riot gear, including mounted units, into Times Square and the blocks north of Madison Square Garden.
- As celebrations grew, police described the crowd as becoming âincreasingly destructive,â with officers moving in to disperse people blocking intersections, riding on vehicles, and refusing orders to clear the streets.
- The bulk of the citywide crowds were celebratory and nonâviolent, but a smaller subset engaged in the most serious property destruction and assaults, which is what generated the âmayhemâ and âchaosâ framing in coverage.
Context and open questions
- This was the Knicksâ first championship since 1973, so the city had not experienced this specific kind of titleâdriven street celebration in more than five decades.
- There is not yet a finalized, detailed afterâaction report from NYPD or the city breaking down arrests by exact charge, demographics, and geography, but outlets consistently cite the 63âarrest figure, 10 injured officers, one shooting victim, and four stabbing victims.
