<\/p>\nAnd the luck just doesn’t seem to run out. The 6th richest member of the House made a well-timed investment last month of $100,000 in Tempus AI, a health and medical company that says it’s powered by artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
That turned out to be the right bet, because Tempus AI stocks have skyrocketed by over 113 percent since Pelosi bought her shares.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/blockquote>\n I’m sure it’s just a co-inky-dinky, as the vaudeville folks used to say.<\/p>\n The value pump started almost immediately after Pelosi’s buy, and continued after Tempus acquired Ambry Genetics, a genetic testing lab firm valued at over $300 million. As most American companies are required to disclose transactions and mergers over $101 million to the government, it’s very likely that at least some federal employees in the FTC and Department of Justice had advanced knowledge of the move, which is seen as a very healthy merger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Fear not, folks. You aren’t left out.<\/p>\n Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker \u2014 a million-follower X-formerly-Twitter account that follows the Pelosis’ financial health with intimate precision \u2014 highlighted her investment savvy in a post yesterday.Futurism<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You, too, can buy stocks like a crooked insider-trading amoral politician. Here’s hoping you make LOTS of money.<\/p>\n Moving to the Republican side of the aisle – I know lots of folks here think Pete Hegseth is a great guy. And he very well may be in some respects.\u00a0 As SECDEF, he is entitled to live in military housing, and I for one think every SECDEF should (though they rarely do – for example Austin bought an 8,700 square foot home to live in. 8700 square feet? I have literally seen multimillionaire’s houses smaller than that.) – after all, they are supposed to be in charge of ALL military housing, even the bad lots – and God knows we have a lot of that around.<\/p>\n Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is looking to live in military family housing and requested to use $137,000 in taxpayer funding for repairs — including nearly $50,000 for an “emergency” paint job — a pair of top Democratic lawmakers said in a letter Friday demanding more details.<\/p>\n Under the law, Congress must be notified if maintenance and repairs for housing meant for general and flag officers is going to cost more than $35,000.<\/p>\n In that context, lawmakers were notified late last month that the Army was looking to spend $137,297 on maintenance on an unoccupied family housing unit, according to Wasserman Schultz and DeLauro’s letter. The total cost included $49,900 for an “emergency” paint job, the letter added.\u00a0 Military.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n How the actual hell can anyone justify fifty grand to paint a house? Knowing it is in the Washington area I am not terribly shocked at eighty grand or so for home repairs…but I agree at least this much with the questioners: I want to see how those costs are priced out. Pretty sure ol’ Pete isn’t personally involved – when was the last time you moved into quarters and they asked your opinion on painting? Or is someone in the Army using this renovation to sneak in some other desired repairs? Maybe Elon needs to see that invoice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pete_Hegseth_by_Gage_Skidmore_3-223x300.jpg\")
