Elon Musk has lost a bigger fortune than anyone in history

The CEO of Tesla (TSLA), SpaceX and Twitter is worth $137 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, good enough for second place on the list of the world’s richest behind LVMH (LVMHF) Chairman Bernard Arnault. But at its peak in November 2021, Musk’s net worth was $340 billion.

That makes Musk the first person ever to lose $200 billion in wealth.

The ungodly amounts of money that some people are worth are too much to even fathom. The amount they are worth equates to be more valuable than some county’s entire bank accounts.

At the present time, Arnault topped Musk as the wealthiest person on the planet, is worth 179.2 billion, plus or minus a few billion. But who is counting?

If these billionaires would donate only 10% of their wealth, they could wipe out poverty on the entire planet.

It is almost a sacrilege what these guys are worth. I would much rather see them use their wealth to help humanity instead of playing King of the Mountain or I Can Top You. Can we even imagine what a few billion dollars would do to help some of these destitute people around the globe?

If these pictures are not heart-wrenching, I don’t know what is.

I absolutely do not deny anyone becoming as wealthy as they possibly can become; as long as they are generous enough to spread their wealth to the less fortunate.

I do understand the complexity and the difficulty of making sure that funds donated get to the proper source. In many, if not most cases, much of the donated money and supplies never reach their intended recipients. It is stolen by the heads of state and used for their own personal interests. So I do understand the reluctance of some people hesitant to donate.

It is absolutely disgraceful that all parties involved cannot come together and reach an amicable solution to help erase poverty in this world. I know it is mission impossible, but they should at least put forth their best effort.

HAITI NATIONAL PALACE

A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY

How could any person that is supposed to be the leader (father) or the head of a country live in opulence while their people are living in squalor?? It is an absolute sacrilege.

I’ve come to realize quite some time ago that there really is no solution to the graft, theft, dishonesty and corruption in this world. It seems to me that evil has one has won out over good. SHAME on the culprits.

Can we even begin to imagine what the 200 billion that Musk lost could do for the betterment of the world?? It is mind-boggling. REALLY; how much does a person need before enough is enough?? Power and ego can be a real BITCH.

Former #Pope #Benedict XVI asks for #forgiveness, thanks God in final published letter …..

I don’t think that Benedict deserves any more #consideration or #forgiveness’ than all of the #pedophile priests he covered up for so many years. Besides all of the crimes, he committed when he was in one of #Hitler’s #Youth #Groups.

Military service (1943–1945) In 1943, when he was 16, Joseph Ratzinger was drafted with many of his classmates into the Luftwaffenhelfer program. They were posted first to Ludwigsfeld, north of Munich, as part of a detachment responsible for guarding a BMW aircraft engine plant.

Just another Benedict Arnold XVI who is one of the thousands of catholic sinners that should ask for forgiveness but not receive any. Being the pope does not cut any ice, as a matter of fact, he should be should be held much more responsible for his indiscretions/silence than the average criminal priest.

American soldier that defected to the British.

Just like the turn-coat solider, Benedict, the German pope had a lot of #skeletons in his closet and was involved in a lot of other #improprieties causing him to have to relinquish his seat as the pope long before his time.

As soon as I saw that transition taking place; I knew all well and good that there was a lot more to meet the eye than what was divulged to the public about Benedicts past.

I definitely do not think that he should receive any special recognition because of his position in the church and because of his criminal activities he was involved in through the years; maintaining his silence to protect pedophile priest.

In my opinion, he is worse than a pedophile. If he and all the other scrum bags that covered up these unholy attacks on young kids would have come forward sooner; there could have been hundreds of thousands of kids that would not have been molested.

Let us give some of the #accolades to people that deserve it, like the military people in all of the countries that have fought and given their lives for freedom. Now that is a worthy cause!!

Sometimes the truth hurts; but what is the sense of telling the story if you’re leaving out the facts??

Sweeping new criminal justice reform in blue state may prove to be serious issue for law enforcement

I don’t know what kind of #terminology the people that pull the puppet strings would consider serious?? By using the word MAY to describe the conditions in this country in my estimation is a poor choice of words. I would use the words catastrophic, horrendous, completely out of control instead of MAY. Just how much worse can the conditions get before the supporters of this lunacy will call them gravely serious??

How dangerous is Chicago? Just one of the sad statistics.

One example of many:

Statistics say that the crime rate in Chicago in 2020 was 3,926 crimes per 100,000 people. That’s 67% more than the national average and a lot more than Illinois’s average rate of 1,985 crimes per 100,000 people. Philadelphia is running neck and neck with New York and Chicago.

I guess in this day and age of progressive/political/idiots, these numbers related to crimes are something the cities are very proud of. If they were not satisfied with their day to day operations, all it would take is a stroke of a pen to turn it back around, that is if it has not gone past the point of no return.

Just like all the catastrophic conditions Kamikaze Joe has created; all it would take is a stroke of a pen to turn things back around. I don’t think there are any/enough derigitory adjectives in the dictionary to describe this #treasonous president.

What really baffels me; how can so few #anarchist #daminate so many #traditionalists with very little #blowback and or #opposition?? It can be compared to going to a #beatdown with one baseball bat and giving it to my opponent so he can beat my #fuckin brains in.

The silence from the #silent #majority is #deafening. If they do not protest or speak up against these #domestic #terrorist, they must approve of the current conditions that are only going to get worse as time progresses.

I can’t really wish everyone a happy New Year with any type of #enthusiasm; we do not have any idea what kind of year it will be with the #psychotic #administration we have running this country. All I can say with certainty; take a look at the last two years and we can use as a barometer for 2023, disastrous!!!

To all the loyal patriotic people in this country; I will wish you a Happy New Year. To all the other fools, I will quote Car-mella Harris said; you got what you voted for. #GTAFF!!

Bankruptcy, fame and prison: The rise and fall of Todd and Julie Chrisley

By Marianne Garvey, CNN

The first thing that happens when they get their hand stuck in the cookie jar comes; first and foremost comes denial – secondly comes more denial and 3rd follows the first two with more denials.

In June, Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud banks out of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans and evading taxes, and last month, they were sentenced to federal prison for their convictions.

How can anyone be an accessory to a $30 million conspiracy and bank fraud and deny they have no memory of it or even of they were ever involved??

Possibly the Chrisley’s should try to get in touch with pastor Jim to see if he can hear their confession, and then pass on some of his professional experiences to them on how they get through to this dilemma.

Adenium Qui laetificat …..

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-pardons-woman-convicted-of-murder-5-others-on-drug-alcohol-related-offenses

President Biden on Friday granted full pardons to six individuals who have served their sentences and have since turned their lives around to become valued members of their communities, the White House said.

One possibility I’ve been kicking around is that Kamikaze is looking for the same break somewhere down the line when he stands trial and gets sent up for all of the crimes he’s committed while in politics. The PA boy and his PUNK KID are as guilty as sin.

Since politicians are as slippery/untrustworthy as they come, there is a good possibility that some giant-sized envelopes were passed around to the governors and presidents that prematurely let these criminals free before their sentences were completed.

I have always maintained; why bother having a trial if somewhere down the dirty road of politics, criminals are released before paying their debt to society??

Some of these people were probably deserving of an early release for various reasons or mistakes made in their trials, but statistics show that almost 70% of the people released early reoffend within a short amount of time. As far as I am concerned, that is a gigantic insult to the families of the victims.

68% of people end back in jail – The Recidivism Rate is 68%

Ad·https://www.firststepalliance.org/recidivi

Studies have shown that more than half of prisoners have been incarcerated…

Leaving prison should mean having a fresh start, but for many returning citizens it presents a host of new challenges. Re-entering society can be overwhelming for many reasons, and unfortunately many people end up back in prison. Despite various prison reform initiatives, the rate of recidivism in the United States is still an astonishing 70% within 5 years of release.

Politics, politics, politics; one of the most corrupt applications in the world. They write the laws and they break the laws better than anyone else

With as corrupt as Hunter Biden is, I am surprised he never thought of this game buying early releases for convicts. Or has he?? After HIS GUY in is the top seat.

Marine recruiters stop California smash-and-grab jewelry heist, tackle fleeing suspects

The suspected robbers used a sledgehammer to smash display cases inside a California jewelry store, Marine Staff Sgt. Josue Fragoso said on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’

Got a problem with the criminal elements??? Send him the Jarheads.

The phrase “jarheads” is also a slang phrase used by sailors when referring to Marines. The term first appeared as early as World War II and referred to Marines’ appearance wearing their dress blue uniforms. The high collar on the uniform and the Marines’ head popping out of the top resembled a Mason Jar.

One check mark for the Swabbies!!

I think it is a great idea to put a few hundred contingents of Semper Fi’ers together to help stomp out the crime in this country. I don’t think we could find any people more qualified and willing to help their country. Little by little, one gang at a time they can drain the swamps.

Save a penny at a time and it would soon add up to millions. Trying to save millions at a time only leads to failure.

Trying to take down the entire criminal community at one time is impossible. Metaphorically go house the house and methodically destroying them one at a time.

The first obstical I see with my solution, would be the do-gooders, and bleeding hearts to get their heads out of their ass and allow law enforcement, either the cops, the military, or a combined effort to do their jobs.

Gotta fight fire with fire folks. I can assure you, the weak and humble always finish last. Listen to a lady who has had first hand experience.

To deliberately allow these crooks, punk thugs, and petty criminals get away with breaking the law, is unconscionable. It still astounds me that the imbeciles who support this type of or lack of law enforcement truly believe in their unexplainable cause. Nobody can be that FUCKIN dumb.

A big Semper Fi goes out to Marine Staff Sgt. Josue Fragoso for his action above and beyond the call of duty.

To the fools that pulled the puppet strings; you have the tools and have the ability to put an end to this criminal madness if you were only smart enough to use them.

Kim Jong Un unveils North Korea’s new military goals for 2023

Kim called for a ‘strengthening self-defensive capabilities to be strongly pursued’

Get him before he gets you. When anyone is so unattached to reality, it is impossible to try to get through to them and negotiate. They do not want their slice of the pie, they want the whole thing.

I still say if that is all, if that is all, if that is all this Madman wants is to be acknowledged as a nuclear power, which he definitely is, I would suggest setting some strong conditions here agrees too, then give them what he wants. naturally keeping a tight rein on him. I hope you noticed I emphasized if that is all he wants!! It is virtually impossible to believe a psychopath.

Can we say that Russia is not a nuclear power, even though they are a severe threat to the USA?? Absolutely not. the same applies to North Korea.

If that is all he wants, it is recognition

I really doubt it

Supreme Court praised for Title 42 border security ruling: ‘Huge victory’

Rep.-elect Monica De La Cruz warned the ‘status quo is unsustainable’ and that ‘a long-term solution to our border crisis’ is needed. it is about time but they finally have ruled in a constructive manner.

It was about time these old decrepit Supreme Court justices finally made a sensible move to try and maintain the stability of the United States.

Most of them look like they should be sitting in a wheelchair in a retirement home instead of making critical decisions for the United States. One of my biggest pet peeves about the Supreme Court Justices, they are appointed for life.

There should not be any position in politics at any level that allows any person to maintain that type of power, especially when some of them reached the point of being incapacitated.

William O Douglas in a wheelchair.

Is this outrageous or what??

Douglas had the longest tenure of any Justice, serving on the Supreme Court for thirty-six years, spanning the careers of five Chief Justices. He retired on November 12, 1975, and died on January 19, 1980, at the age of eighty-one.

Even in his diminish-capacity, he was allowed to maintain his seat on the Supreme Court for many years. It became so bad communication-wise, when it was his time to vote, they would say; William, blank one for yes and two for no.

I absolutely do not have anything against the elderly in the workforce, I am deep into that category myself. What I do have a problem with is, people who hold their hands the power to make decisions that can make or break a country.

Be that as it may, it is gratifying to see that they old-timers put their old heads together and came up with a favorable decision to try to control the importation of illegal immigrants.

Speaking of super old people in office, making irrational decisions. KJ is the poster boy of being too mentally incompetent to hold that position. To think that Kamikaze is considering running for the presidency in 2024 is absolutely absurd. I don’t think his political party, the DUMBOCRAT/SOCIALISTS would be that foolish to make the same mistake as they did in 2020. ORRRRRRR are they??

SONS-A-BITCH; I put them on the wrong feet again.

All this little girl is looking for is her 2 front teeth – the dude on the stretcher got what he wish for and it was not his two front teeth, it was a bullet hole between his eyes. Life can be simple as we want or life can be hard; we make our own choices.

One victim, who was described as a 19-year-old African American male, was directly hit and died at the scene while another’s clothing was grazed by a bullet during a shooting in the mall’s Nordstrom, Fox Minneapolis reported. 

Security cameras showed the shooting escalated from an altercation between two groups of young males, the Bloomington Police Department said. 

At least it was one of the banditos that were killed and not an innocent bystander. This is how these gunslinger thugs celebrate the holiday season, by shooting up a mall.

Will the USA ever get past and end this type of outrageous, deadly behavior?? I don’t think so; there are too many hot heads in this country that are packing illegally, and they are not looking to anytime soon turn in their firearms.

Shoot-um-ups is was a way of life for these thugs. Strange as it may seem, getting shot is a badge of Honor to these fools. Their picture probably is posted on the clubhouse wall as one of the martyrs for the cause. What cause?? I have no idea except ignorance and no regard for others safety.

This is what we’re going to see more and more of if these gun-happy idiots don’t tone their act down. Their criminal actions not only affect them by knocking a few thugs off, but more so, it affects the general public who are being driven to stay in their homes where it is supposed to be safe.

What a sad ass world the New Generation of kids are forced to grow up in. Besides being criminals, these thugs have no regard for human life not even their own. Sad to say many of the thugs are role models for the young kids that try very hard to emulate them, never really seeing the downside of their criminal lives.

All they see is this:

Not this

Is there a way to stop this insanity?? Only one way, through EDUCATION as I have been preaching for the last 20 years.

If we started from scratch this very day educating the younger kids on how to conduct their lives as decent human beings/citizens, it would probably take 50 years or more (3 – 4 geneerrtions) even if we could ever turn this lawlessness around. I don’t see it happening. I think we have crossed the point of no return in so many areas in the USA, it is impossible to do an about face.

I totally blame the government for letting these conditions get out of control as much as they have.

Next, I will blame the totally irresponsible parents that brought these kids into the world and don’t have a fuckin clue how and how to raise them. How can you raise a kid not to be a junkie if you’re one?? Not all but too many to be relevant.

I don’t think it is appropriate to wish everybody a Merry Christmas or a Happy New Year under the circumstances. Instead, I wish everyone good health and peace, and possibly (I say that with reluctance) happiness so mankind can get way beyond this madness we all have created.

AND TO ALL A GOOD BOWEL MOVEMENT
