  1. Just a little exercise to point out Trump's #ShortManMentality.

    We all know Trump is lying about his height, and this picture of him standing with Elon Musk and J.D. Vance is proof. The original picture was in color, and I found it necessary to filter it to black and white so the added text would be more visible. Granted Trump is standing a little farther back, but that really doesn't change his perceived height when compared to Musk and Vance, whose official height is an inch shorter than Trump's.

    On this day in 2009, American financier Bernie Madoff pled guilty to securities fraud, money laundering, and several other crimes. Madoff executed the largest Ponzi scheme in history, defrauding thousands out of tens of billions of dollars over at least 17 years. He was also a pioneer in electronic trading and chair of the Nasdaq in the early 1990s. He died in prison on April 14, 2021 while serving a 150-year sentence.
