The Pelosi investments

 NY Post:

Ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband made $38 million worth of stock trades in the weeks leading up to President Donald Trump’s inauguration — including an investment in a once-obscure artificial intelligence firm whose shares have soared nearly 50% in the past week.

Paul Pelosi, the venture capitalist who is married to the Democratic lawmaker whose 11th congressional district encompasses San Francisco, sold $24 million worth of Apple stock as well as $5 million worth of shares in AI chip-maker Nvidia.

Both of those lucrative transactions were executed on New Year’s Eve, according to government filings. Nancy Pelosi is legally required to disclose her husband’s stock trades.

Paul Pelosi, who survived a vicious hammer attack inside the couple’s San Francisco home more than two years ago, has also taken a new position with Tempus AI, a Chicago-based health technology company that uses artificial intelligence to process clinical and molecular data.

According to the filing, Paul Pelosi bought $100,000 worth of call options in Tempus AI on Jan. 14. Since the Pelosi position was revealed, the company’s stock has surged.
...
Christopher Josephs, the tech entrepreneur who has operated the “Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker” on X since January 2021, launched an app that allows traders to buy stocks and amass a portfolio that is identical to that of the former House speaker’s husband.

Josephs told The Post that his Autopilot investment app, which has been online since January 2023, has facilitated more than $325 million in total trades by users who use the same strategy as Paul Pelosi.

He told The Post that through Tuesday traders who are copying Pelosi have amassed $45 million in realized and unrealized gains thus far.
...

Pelosi has an unusual knack for picking winners.  It is unusual enough that it is surprising the SEC is not investigating where he is getting his investment strategy.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
