What the Media Isn't Telling Us About the Nvidia Scandal
When Nvidia’s board of directors forced out co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang on November 12, 2026, mainstream headlines immediately seized on the salacious details. Television panels and front-page stories framed the downfall of Silicon Valley’s most celebrated executive as a classic tale of personal hubris: a married tech titan undone by two extramarital affairs—one with Nvidia healthcare executive Kimberly Powell, and another with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based businesswoman whom U.S. intelligence officials suspect of working for Beijing.

The Vice President Who Opposed the War and Still Kept the Base
I. The Third Page in the Situation Room February 2026, White House Situation Room. Vance turned an assessment report to page three. He pressed his pen on one line and did not look up. “I disagree with this one,” he said.

Trump Stopped Posting. The Market Fell Apart.
For two days I've made the same point: when the market loses the "Trump factor," the big directional trade loses its anchor. Trump alone supplied a kind of certainty across assets. He spoke, the market had a direction. He called a trade, money had a reason. He created conflict, safe assets got a premium. He offered de-escalation, risk assets bounced. A large part of the tape wasn't trading economic data. It was trading his next post.

Blexas: The Blue Tsunami
So America just had its mid-terms, and it went as well as it possibly could have. Not only did the Democrats take the house with a really comfortable majority (around 30 seats over the minimum, at time of writing), but also the senate with +3 seats over the minimum for a majority, +2 if you count Fetterman as a republican in spirit (which I do).

Lame Duck or...?
So we are still waiting on the senate races in Mississippi (who would have ever thought, but the vote difference there at the moment is 65, yes, sixty-five, leaning the Democratic candidate) and Alaska (might take awhile because of the state's ranking system of voting), but the Dems have won big last night, in both the Senate and the House races. JD Vance sourly pointed out that the GOP has lost the Senate for the next six years.

The Figurehead and the Regency: Who Is Really Running the Government?
The President Was Never the Whole Government November 3, 1986. A Lebanese magazine exposed a secret operation involving the United States, Iran, and the sale of American weapons; what followed became one of the defining scandals of Ronald Reagan’s presidency of Iran-Contra.

Understanding Trickle-Down Economics: A Critical Perspective
The Promise of Prosperity There is something interesting about the way economic policies are presented to the public. Governments frequently promise that particular reforms will create prosperity, encourage investment and eventually improve the living standards of society. Yet behind these familiar promises lie questions that are rarely examined with the same enthusiasm. Who is expected to benefit first? Who must wait for the benefits to arrive? And what happens when an economy grows without producing a comparable improvement in the lives of those whose labour sustains it?

Five Days at the Podium: The Shortest White House Press Secretary Tenure in Memory
Katie Zacharia did not move to Washington. She had not even packed. Five days after President Trump handed her the job of White House press secretary in an Oval Office meeting, she was standing on the South Lawn while Marine One idled behind her, listening to the president of the United States tell reporters that he had advised her to “reconsider” her career choice. “Honestly, if I were you, I’d reconsider,” Trump said, recounting the conversation. “Katie, do you need this? I don’t think you need this.” Hours later, the White House confirmed she was “transitioning into a new role.” She had started on Monday. It was Friday. Anthony Scaramucci’s eleven-day record, the benchmark of Trump-world humiliation for nearly a decade, had been cut in half.

The Oval Office Clock Kept Moving While Nobody Said a Word
The clock in the Oval Office moved through ten minutes. Trump stood behind the Resolute Desk. His right index finger tapped the wood. Three taps. Stop. Two taps. Michael Dell stood in front of him, dark blue suit, tie knot pulled tight, as if the tie had just come out of the box. Susan Dell stood half a step to his right. Red dress. Red with no other color in it. Her heels sank into the carpet. Her ankles tilted slightly outward. She held herself straight. Shoulders back. Chin up. Someone behind her might have been pulling a string.

Trump Got Clipped Again. The Real Story Is Two Kinds of Truth.
Trump stood on a rally stage in Nebraska, jacket open, Jos. A. Bank label visible. That suit costs two or three hundred dollars at full price and often half that on sale. A billionaire wearing it sends a message to the crowd, just as Biden wearing Hugo Boss would.
