calguy's JournalLast week's GameStop buyers feeling the burn
The hype from last week seems to have passed over the week end as both GME and AMC have been selling off since trading began in the pre market. GME alone is down 30%. Nothing brings traders back to reality like the sound of burning money. This was so predictable to experienced traders. The newbies are learning a hard lesson right now.
I don't often get emotional
But sitting here watching the inaugural events, my eyes can't stop tearing up. What a glorious day. What a huge relief. What a tremendous load will be taken off the shoulders of our country when Joe Cool finally takes the oath of office.

Daughter Publicly Shames Mother For Getting Punched While Attending Pro-Trump Protest (msn.com)
(Full article at above link)
A daughter has publicly shamed her own mother for being punched in the face during a violent encounter at a Pro-Trump protest in Washington D.C on Wednesday.
Helena Duke, 18, identified her mom in viral video footage from a fight which broke out near the Capitol during the insurrection, telling Newsweek she was "disappointed to be related to her".
"Hi mom remember the time you told me I shouldn't go to BLM protests bc they could get violent ... this you?," Helena Duke wrote on Twitter in response to the video.
In the clip, a young Black woman who appears to be a uniformed police officer, holds up her phone in a crowd of Trump supporters wearing MAGA caps and brandishing flags.
A white woman appears to lean over in an attempt to grab the phone, knocking it from her hand.
The Black woman turns around and appears to confront her, throwing a punch to the white woman's face. It is unclear what words are exchanged between the women.
Three men are then seen carrying the Black woman across a police line to join a group of officers.
Chaos ensues as the mob descends on police and more violence breaks out between the protesters.
The white woman is seen shortly after with a bloody face and addresses others filming the encounter.
"Who hit you?" a man is heard asking. "That Black girl," the woman replies.
The video, which has amassed nearly 7 million views since it was posted to Twitter on Wednesday, is said to have been taken from a fight between BLM and Trump supporters at Freedom Plaza in Washington D.C.
Helena Duke seized the opportunity to shame her mother, who she claims is a long-standing Trump supporter.
"Her actions were appalling and I did not think she could possibly stoop this low," the 18-year-old told Newsweek. "I do find her participation in the insurrection extremely hypocritical as she has kicked me out of the house for attending BLM protests."
Duke clarified that her mother, Therese Duke, has previously warned her not to attend BLM protests because of potential violence.
"Seeing her harass a black woman and attending a violent event is very hypocritical of her," Duke added.
She also took the opportunity to correct her mother over social media, saying: "Mom I think you mean to say that powerful black woman punched you for harassment." (The way these Millennials talk makes me want to puke.-drvoke)
Duke claimed her uncle and aunt were also in attendance at the protest.
Many have praised Duke's bravery in coming forward to identify her mother.
"Traitor take down of the day! Winner goes to Helena Duke!" one woman said.
"Her own daughter turned her in! Turned in her mom, her uncle, and her aunt!" another added. "Let's all salute Helena Duke for opposing her mom's racism and hypocrisy. You've done good Helena!

Breaking News: 2020 vows to not concede
2020 says it's year is not over and will not concede to 2021. 2020 as pointed to many discrepancies such as many days have not been counted and some months have yet to submit their final tallies, in fact some days have been totally left out, and this must be investigated. 2020 added, I shall not concede until all questions have been answered.
also to add the confusion, it does seem the calendar has been tampered with and there are lots of questions left unanswered.
who really started the calendar will be part of the investigation, and all this could result in 2020 still remaining the year.
Steve Schmidt is now a Democrat
Heard him announce it on Lawrence's show. He's probably not going to be going hard core liberal by any means, but it'll be nice to have him fighting on our side from now on and not against us in future elections.

'Never bet against me': Trump clings to reelection hopes days after defeat
President Donald Trump refused to acknowledge in a new interview that he had been beaten by President-elect Joe Biden, insisting that his campaign’s election-related legal challenges would reverse the race’s outcome and arguing Americans should “never bet against me.”
The unrealistic prediction from the president, published in the Friday edition of Washington Examiner correspondent Byron York’s newsletter, represented some of Trump’s first remarks to a member of the news media since Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 White House race last weekend.
In his interview with York, however, Trump argued he was still competitive in several key swing states where Biden had already emerged victorious, saying he was “going to win Wisconsin” — a state called for Biden last Wednesday where Trump is currently trailing by more than 20,000 votes.
In Arizona, which was also called for Biden as early as last Wednesday, the race will “be down to 8,000 votes,” Trump said, even though he is behind by more than 11,000 votes there. “If we can do an audit of the millions of votes, We’ll find 8,000 votes easy. If we can do an audit, we’ll be in good shape there,” he said.
