Nicole Shanahan walked away with more than $1B after divorcing Google co-founder Sergey Brin: report
Nicole Shanahan, the vice presidential candidate picked by independent hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr, walked away with more than $1 billion following her divorce from ex-husband and Google co-founder Sergey Brin, according to a report. Shanahan, the 38-year-old California native who worked as a lawyer in Silicon Valley before entering politics, finalized her divorce from Brin last year. Her split from Brin was reportedly triggered by an alleged affair she had with his longtime friend, tech mogul Elon Musk. During their five-year marriage, Shanahan attended parties with other tech executives in Silicon Valley where she consumed recreational drugs including cocaine, ketamine and psychedelic mushrooms, according to The New York Times.

General Discussion / WOW, someone actually makes George Santos look like a "Genius"?? LOL

Idiot MAGA Congressman Makes George Santos Look Like a Genius

Trump stooge and Republican Representative Andy Ogles has been caught in a major ethics scandal of his own making.

According to 11 amendments that he filed to his campaign finance reports on Wednesday, Ogles didn’t actually loan his campaign $320,000, as he previously claimed. That begs the question: Where did the money come from?

In November, the Tennessee congressman was found to have some irregularities in his campaign reports, thanks to an investigation by a Nashville TV station, NewsChannel 5. Among them was a $320,000 loan to his campaign from himself, even though his personal finance reports didn’t show a place where such a loan could have originated—not even a personal bank account.

In his amendments, Ogles says that his campaign loan was actually $20,000 instead of $320,000, a sizable oversight, and raises the question of what explains the inconsistencie s. Former Representative George Santos is currently facing criminal charges for inflating campaign fundraising numbers—after also reporting he loaned himself a sizable amount of money. Santos was later found to have spent campaign dollars on casino trips, Botox treatments, and OnlyFans payments. Is Ogles hiding something like Santos?

It’s not an outlandish question, as the two have one glaring similarity: making up parts of their past. Ogles claimed to have studied policy and economics at Middle Tennessee State University and calls himself an economist, but only has one community college economics course under his belt, which he barely passed. He later claimed on a 2009 résumé to have a degree in international relations, but NewsChannel 5 found that his major was actually liberal studies—a hilarious degree for a Republican politician.

Although Ogles’s lies aren’t nearly as outrageous as Santos’s whoppers, he also has another possible financial crime on his résumé: $25,000 raised supposedly to build a garden in memory of his stillborn child. Except that the garden was never built, and Ogles refuses to say what happened with the money. With a history of lies piling up in his short congressional career, perhaps a criminal investigation of Ogles is necessary.

General Discussion / My nephew's my age when I bought my first home, he wants to follow my foot steps

..Like me back in the mid-90s, he's single with no dependent. Although he makes way more money than I did back in the 90s, the housing market was more favorable to me. The average home price and income gap was much closer compared to now. Plus, my interest rate was much lower.

I told him if he can afford it, go for it as he can always refi down the road if needed while continuing to build equity. I went to visit some of the new build homes that he's interested in and the constructions, duct, markings, measurements, etc., reminded me a lot of when I bought my first home that was also a new build during my walk through:

General Discussion / AR Trooper may "play dirty" but idiot shouldn't flee in the first place

Watch Arkansas Troopers Play A Dirty Trick On A Fleeing Motorcyclist
Catching a fleeing motorcycle can be a difficult task for cops because of several factors. But one thing you can always count on is that Arkansas State Police won’t hold back if you decide to run at high speeds, bike or no. This motorcyclist scofflaw learned that lesson the hard way. The chase started when a trooper noticed a guy on a motorcycle not only doubling the speed limit on the interstate, which is a truly dumb thing to do on a bike or in a car, but also lane splitting. While that practice is legal in certain situations for California, it’s pretty much illegal everywhere else.

...Troopers train regularly on high-speed pursuit tactics. And in this case they use an unusual method to stop this chase. A trooper who was coming from the opposite direction cuts into the opposing lanes of traffic, angles his cruiser just so, and forces the biker off the road. The guy proceeds to crash and quickly realizes he’s done. It’s quick, brutal, and effective. And yet the suspect doesn’t appear to be injured. That’s how it’s done in Arkansas.
