That is absolutely true. If anything, Mar a Lago was undervalued at the time. Today, a private property of that size in its location and with all its amenities would be valued at least at $600M, possibly on up to $1B. Crazy to not take that into account.
To the liberals who can’t muster up the brain cells to understand exactly what happened in the Letitia James BS case, let me explain it to you like a child.

This article is about why we made the movie “Contagion” (Disclosure: I was senior technical advisor) and how the film seems to do almost too good a job of public health education than most of the media. Remember though the virus we concocted was fiction!

The amount of viral particles one inhales is as important in determining how severe a COVID case may be as any other factor. Even basic masks dramatically improve the chance of avoiding severe symptoms if one gets infected.

Interesting quotes to pull out of Davos. Hard to argue with what Dimon and Milei had to say, with the caveat that there is no collapse of some kind, be it from war or global disasters. I like the optimism of Milei and the optimism, with care, espoused by Dimon. Thanks for…
The two sets of remarks going viral from Davos — Milei railing against collectivism and Jamie Dimon defending Trump’s policies — were truths that the assembled elites didn’t want to hear. Effectively subtweets against Davos itself. Otherwise nobody cared.

I met her once at the Hoover Institute at Stanford circa 1999. We had a debate about nuclear weapons. She was well-informed and intellectually formidable.
This is what an intellectually strong and confident person looks like. She takes on all comers. She invites debate. In fact she relishes it. She doesn’t try to cancel her opponents. She doesn’t try to cow them into silence with moral indictments.
