The incompetence is staggering.

WRT the hockey team, don't forget the AI video released by the White House purporting to show Brady Tkachuk making a really obnoxious comment about Canadians.

There is no bottom.

Wait. That was a White House video?

It turns out to be more complicated. While the account that created it is "Trump Fan" -- apparently that is run by a WH communications staffer, according to a leak.

I just double-checked, and I may have misinterpreted what I'd read. The official WH TikTok did share it, but that doesn't mean it was a WH creation. Although this bunch? I would not put it past them at all. Regardless, it was inappropriate either way of course!

Thanks for correcting me.

Did you wager on Iran?

State of the Union: all is well!

America First president fights a war for Israel apparently

I would have wagered on Iran if Kalshi had a trade. And I would have lost. Kalshi had "Khameini out of power" but not "US attacks Iran" because they don't want to create a market in war. Polymarket did have an Iran war trade but most Americans can't trade on Polymarket yet.

This war betting has provoked a bit of an uproar ~ https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/bets-on-fate-of-irans-khamenei-spark-uproar-at-leading-prediction-markets-045f093d?
