1985: 140/90

Now: 110/70 is the “new normal”

NY Archdiocese pitches $800M to settle child sex abuse claims warns of bankruptcy if offer is rejected

The Archdiocese of New York has offered $800 million to settle claims that priests and lay staff sexually abused children — as Catholic Church leaders warn of bankruptcy if the settlement isn’t accepted.

The potential global settlement, which still needs approval from all 1,300 alleged victims, comes with a $250,000 quick-pay option for accusers who want a speedy resolution.

Otherwise, claims will be evaluated to determine how much each victim should be paid, said Jordan Merson, who represents more than 60 people who said they were sexually abused as minors.

The diplomatic “ceasefire” just hit a terminal wall today — President Trump officially rejected Tehran’s “final proposal” delivered via Pakistani mediators in Islamabad last night.

President Trump said he is not satisfied with Iran’s newest and final offer. He added that he was briefed by CENTCOM Commander Gen. Bradley Cooper, during which one option presented was to “blast the hell out of Iran” and “finish them forever.”

When a reporter asked whether he was worried about the U.S. weapons inventory being depleted, Trump replied, “No, we have more than we’ve ever had, actually. Right now we have more than double of what we had before we started this thing.”

He also stated that everyone in Iran wants to make a deal, including the hardliners, noting that Iran has no navy, no air force, no anti-aircraft systems, and nothing at all.

Pawn Shops Just Issued a Very Grim Warning About Consumer Behavior

  We know when Walmart or Dollar General are doing well, those are not good signs for the health of the consumer economy, particularly when it’s higher income shoppers suddenly appearing in bigger numbers. But when that hard hit traffic starts spilling over to the local pawn shops, it’s a whole other level. Canaries and coalmines. Here’s the thing. We’re not only seeing that happen, the data backs this up, including a whole bunch which released earlier today.

A 25 year old just turned $225 million into $5.5 billion in 12 months.

  Here’s exactly what he bought.

 Leopold Aschenbrenner got fired from OpenAI in April 2024.

 He spent the next few months writing a 165-page thesis predicting AGI by 2027.

 Then he launched a fund and put his money where his thesis was.

 He bought zero Nvidia. Zero Microsoft. Zero Google. Zero Amazon.

 He bought what AI actually runs on.

 Bloom Energy (BE), power infrastructure for data centers. Up 1,422% in one year.

 Lumentum (LITE), optical components that move data between chips. Up 1,331%.

 Sandisk (SNDK), storage. Up 3,130%.

 CoreWeave (CRWV), GPU cloud infrastructure. Up 166%.

 Iris Energy (IREN), AI computing and data centers. Up 583%.

 The thesis was simple: every AI company needs energy, bandwidth, storage, and compute.

 Nobody was buying those. Everyone was buying the AI companies themselves.

 He was right.

 His fund now manages $6 billion. Backed by Patrick and John Collison of Stripe and former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman.

 I’m adding this to my watchlist.

 Every time he files a new 13F, we will break it down here.

 Turn on notifications so you don’t miss the alert, this is VERY important.

Endangering the Entire Planet? Armageddonists in the Corridors of the U.S. State Department and the Pentagon?

 After one such visit to Moscow, I met Bernard Lown in Paris. We sat in dappled Spring sun, at a pavement breakfast café - fresh squeezed orange, coffee, croissants:

“I came back two days ago [from Moscow] and went to talk (at the State Department) of the concerns in Moscow.

Afterwards, a senior official - a household name (which he declined to divulge) walked me to the exit. As we neared the exit, he put his arm round my shoulders:

 ‘Don’t worry, Professor Lown, if there is a nuclear war, we will be the first ones to rise up and meet Jesus in the sky.’” Lown, used to the vagaries of the unwell, responded: “Tell me, does anyone else in this building feel as you do?”

“Oh yes, many of us do.”

Foreign policy lies prevail. The same neocons “are at it again.” “We must bomb Iran.” Preemptive nukes.

Reminder to the crusading Armageddonists ….. “Thou shalt not kill.” —Exodus 20:1

This Is The Salary Needed To Live Comfortably In US Cities

How much do you need to earn to live comfortably in a major American city? Increasingly, the answer is a six-figure salary.

This map, via Visual Capitalist's Bruno Venditti, shows the income required for a comfortable lifestyle across 56 U.S. cities, factoring in housing, food, transportation, savings, and discretionary spending.

 (BS. THESE ARE BOGUS NUMBERS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT INCLUDE CRIME RATES.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE IN SOME OF THOSE SUPPOSEDLY CHEAP AREAS. )

New York tops the list at $158,954, narrowly ahead of San Jose at $158,080.

California accounts for many of the highest-cost cities overall, with Irvine, San Diego, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, and Sacramento all ranking near the top.

Hawaii Has America's Highest Life Expectancy, West Virginia The Lowest

Life expectancy varies widely across the U.S., with clear regional patterns emerging in the latest data.

States in the Northeast and on the West Coast tend to have higher life expectancies, while many in the South and Appalachia rank lower.

This map, via Visual Capitalist's Niccolo Conte, shows these differences using data from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, based on 2022 life tables published in December 2025, the latest publicly available state-level figures as of March 2026.

Among the 50 states and D.C., Hawaii had the highest life expectancy at birth in 2022 at 80.0 years. Massachusetts followed at 79.8, with New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut close behind.

 (Hawaii numbers make sense. Asians have better diets.Blacks have poor health and lower life expectancy. Mormons in Utah have a Mormon diet.)

SCHIFF CASE FILES UNSEALED — ADAM SCHIFF PAID $7.2 MILLION IN HUSH MONEY TO A 17-YEAR-OLD BOY’S FAMILY TO KEEP HIS SICK, TWISTED SECRETS BURIED!

 Follow @UnmaskTheSys

In 2022, this slimy, corrupt swamp creature forked over seven-point-two million dollars just to buy the family’s silence.

 Now, a judge has ordered the entire docket released “without delay” because the cover-up was so disgusting it was detrimental to the truth.

 FOIA is about to blow the lid off whatever depraved shit this pedo-adjacent Democrat was doing with a minor.

 We’re finally going to see exactly what this sick fuck was hiding.

 The mask is coming off the biggest liar in Congress.

Congress just reminded us who the REAL elites are!!

While they clutch their pearls over poor people getting a hot rotisserie chicken on SNAP, these clowns are billing taxpayers $92 a day for meals and incidentals.

$23 breakfast.

$26 lunch.

$38 dinner.

$5 “incidentals” (probably for the caviar garnish).

That’s $2,760 a month — every month — so our “public servants” don’t have to suffer the indignity of eating like normal humans.

These people couldn’t pass a balanced budget if it was stapled to their forehead, but they’ll fight to the death for their taxpayer-funded steak dinner allowance while voting to keep the poors on cold cuts and sadness.

The swamp isn’t just corrupt. It’s a five-star all-you-can-eat buffet funded by your wallet while they lecture you about “austerity.”

Rotisserie chicken for thee, but Wagyu and wine for me.

Priorities in Washington, ladies and gentlemen.
