I think baking cookies is equal to Queen Victoria running an empire —-Martha Stewart, 2000
In light of my research on Oprah, a reader wanted me to blog about Martha Stewart. It’s interesting to compare the two women because although both came from nothing to build perhaps the two biggest female owned multi-media empires of the 20th century, and both did it as TV personalities and life style gurus targeting white suburban housewives, the two women could not be more different.
Oprah came across as warm and engaging. Martha was a little more cold and aloof. Oprah talked about people and emotions. Martha talked about objects and things. Oprah is black looking black woman who struggled with her weight, Martha is a blond former model. Viewers saw Oprah as a friend they could relate to because of their shared struggles while Martha was seen as an unattainable icon of domestic perfection that no housewife could possibly live up to.
For almost all of their careers, Oprah was much richer than Martha. On Sept 24, 1999, Forbes required a net worth of $625 million to be one of the 400 richest Americans. With a net-worth of $725 million, Oprah was once again the only black to make the cut and well on track to become the first self-made woman billionaire. Martha had never once been anywhere near rich enough for the Forbes 400 and this year was no exception. However a mere 25 days after the authoritative list was released, Martha stunned the business world by taking her company public, briefly leap frogging over even Oprah to become the first self-made woman billionaire with a net worth of $1.3 billion, and easily making the Forbes list the following years.
After years of putting the housewives of America to shame with her perfect cooking, immaculate decorations, former model good looks and domestic perfection, she now put career women to shame by becoming a billionaire (on paper) a few years before any other self-made woman made the cut. She seemed so superior to everyone in every way. An avid reader who loved Nancy Drew, her high school manta was “I do what I please and I do it with ease.” (Byron, 2002)
In a recent Netflix documentary, we see her physically towering over her short kitchen helpers as she berates one for using a small knife to cut an orange: ALWAYS CUT ORANGES WITH A BIG KNIFE! SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT! Even her Yale law educated Ashkenazi ex-husband was not safe from being made to look foolish by Martha who called him “FUCKING STUPID” for stacking firewood wrong (Byron 2002). Given that Ashkenazi Jews average verbal IQs 20 points higher than whites, it’s likely the elite law grad could hold his own with Martha verbally, however the average Ashkenazi Jew is somewhat below the white mean on non-verbal visual-motor cognition and if her husband showed this pattern too, it may have caused tension in the marriage given Martha’s high standards for hands-on, do it yourself domestic tasks.
Oprah was shocked when she learned Martha’s husband got a court order saying she could not speak to him, saying she never heard of such a thing. “That was a kind of punishment,” explained Martha during an interview in O Magazine. “Was it punishment for being too smart?” asked Oprah.
Although the media elites who ran Time Warner talked down to Martha like she was a1950s housewife …”I explained to Martha…Martha’s getting angry” she got the last laugh when she took them to the cleaners financially (Byron, 2002). The business world watched in awe as one of the biggest companies in the World was being “led around by the nose by a former caterer”.
When Martha demanded her own talk show, one media person doubted she had what it took to make money in such a competitive field. When Martha explained that she didn’t care if it made money, the person realized he was dealing with one of the greatest business minds the World had ever seen. The whole point of TV shows was to sell adds to make money, but Martha was so clever she realized the talk show itself could be an add (for her books, magazine, and Kmart products) disguised as a talk show, and thus instead of paying money for add space in other shows, she made money by getting advertisers to sponsor her stealth add (Byron 2002).
After famously taking her company public and becoming the first self-made woman billionaire, she was asked how she was doing, she smugly replied “I’m rich” as she marched into every room like she owned the place (Byron 2002). The country was dripping with jealousy and soon she found herself investigated for insider trading, spending five months in jail for conspiracy, false statements and obstruction. This scandal combined with the decline of old media (books, magazines, TV shows) in the internet age caused her stock to lose most of its value.
“Little Miss Perfect has fallen on her face,” gushed one media observer.
Nonetheless, she’s still worth hundreds of millions and her place in history as the first self-made woman billionaire is secure, though the achievement was a fleeting one.
PART 1: BIODEMOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE
Expected IQ of the first but fleeting self-made woman billionaire
Since Forbes began keeping score in 1982, it’s estimated that at least 1,739 Americans have been rich enough to make the Forbes 400 at one time or another. Of these I estimate about 1,655 are still alive. The percent who are “self-made” (not from a rich family) ranged from 40.7% in 1985 to at least 68.5% in 2011 (see table 1 of this document). Let’s split the difference and say about 55% of the 1,655 (910 people) were self-made.
As of 2023 there 209 million Americans old enough to have earned Forbes 400 wealth at some point in their lives (age 30+), so self-made Forbes 400 members (current or past) are all roughly above the one in 230,000 level in wealth creation (with Martha only narrowly making the cut since she only made the list a few times, unlike say Warren Buffet who made the Forbes 400 all 42 years in a row).
If there were a perfect correlation between IQ and self-made wealth, Martha’s IQ would be 67 points above the U.S. mean of 100, but since lifetime earnings (a proxy for self-made wealth) “only” correlates about 0.45, we’d expect her to be 0.45(67) = 30 + 100 = IQ 130.
Expected IQ of a 17 BMI U.S. woman
Decades before she was rich or famous, Martha’s tall thin physique combined with her sharp fashion sense, had her named one of the 10 best college girls of the year by Glamour magazine. According to the folks at celebrityheights.com, who I trust because they’re as autistic about height as I am about IQ, Martha’s peak height was 5’9.5″ and in her youth she appears to have weighed about 120 lbs. “It’s reasonable to estimate that less than 10% (and likely closer to 5%) of young women in the 1960s had a BMI of 17 or less” (Chat GPT, Feb 3, 2025).
If there were a perfect negative correlation between IQ and weight/height ratio, we’d expect Martha’s IQ to be 25 points above the U.S. mean (top 5%), but because the correlation is only -0.22, the expected IQ would be 0.22(25) = 6 points above the average of 100 and thus 106.
Expected IQ of 23″ headed woman
Martha also appears to have an extremely large head (a proxy for brain size). I could find no data on Martha’s head or hat size, but by placing a ruler on my computer screen, I made some crude estimates of her head length which is measured like so:
For example, Rosie O’Donnell once claimed on her show that her head size was 24.5″ and in the photo below, their head lengths are identical, suggesting Martha’s circumference is 24.5″ too.
However Oprah claimed her head is 25.25″ and in the below photo, Martha’s head length is “only” 80% as large, suggesting a head circumference of 20.2″.
However in the next photo, Martha’s head length appears equal to Oprah’s suggesting she too has a head circumference of 25.25″.
Averaging all three estimates (24.5″, 20.2″ and 25.25″) gives 23.32″ (592.3 mm). According to the U.S. Army Anthropometric Survey Database, by Claire C. Gordon (Final Report, October 1996), in 1995, a sample of 3,482 active duty females in the U.S. army had their heads measured. The mean circumference was 546.6 mm and the standard deviation (SD) was 15.1 which makes Martha +3.03 SD! If there were a perfect correlation between IQ and within sex head circumference, Martha’s IQ would be 45 points above the U.S. mean of 100, but since the correlation is only about 0.23, the typical IQ of people with such heads is 45(0.23) = 10 points above the U.S. mean and thus IQ 110.
Expected IQ of a 17 BMI 23.3″ headed first but fleeting self-made woman billionaire
Having already estimated what Martha’s IQ would be based separately on money, height and head size, it is time to estimate what her IQ is based on all three of her most salient cognitive correlates. Decades ago, a Promethean told me this type of thing could be done if you know not only each predictor’s correlation with IQ, but also their intercorrelations. So let’s build a correlation matrix!
| Lifetime earnings | Weight/height ratio (within sex) | head circumference (within sex) | |
| Lifetime earning | |||
| Weight/height ratio | 0 | ||
| head circumference | 0.1 | 0.2 | |
| IQ | 0.45 | -0.22 | 0.23 |
By abstracting across the correlational matrix, we can infer that money, weight/height ratio and head circumference each have an independent predictive power of +0.41, -0.18, and +0.18 respectively.
Recall above we said that if there were a perfect correlation between these three variables and IQ, Martha’s expected IQ would be 67, 25 and 45 points above 100, respectively, but given their actual predictive power (independent of one another) her expected IQ is:
0.41(67) -0.18(-25) + 0.18(45) = 27 + 5 + 8 = 40 points above average or 140 (U.S. norms); 139 (U.S. white norms).
However given that all three predictors are quite crude, we can only say with 95% confidence that Martha’s IQ would be anywhere from 115 to 165. Given such a large margin of error we need independent confirmation that Martha’s IQ is around 140.
PART TWO: HISTORIOMETRIC EVIDENCE
Active vocabulary
During an interview with Charlie Rose, Martha used such words as arachidonic, esoteric, arcane, hybridized, soprano suggesting word knowledge in the Very Superior range. Traditionally measures of vocabulary have correlated better with full-scale IQ than any other subtest. However Martha built her empire with such non-verbal skills as folding a fitted bed sheet and artistically displaying food and flowers. This combined with her berating her employee and Yale Law educated husband for inefficiently cutting oranges and stacking fire wood respectively, suggests she also has first rate non-verbal intelligence.
Class rank
On the YouTube interview Life Stories (July 5, 2023) Martha stated “I graduated from a public high school. I was high up in my class. Can’t remember the number but it was good”. Martha was the only girl in the math class. She was not however valedictorian, being surpassed academically by a boy and a girl who shared that title and who young Martha admired greatly, however these two may have had more time to study, unlike Martha who partook in virtually every club and society the school had to offer.
Given that Martha says she ranked high in her class (and was the only girl in math) and can only recall two students who surpassed her, it seems she was the third best student. Given her New Jersey high school class of 1959 had 276 students (mostly of Irish, Polish and Italian ancestry, but only five blacks) (Byron, 2002), Martha would have been in the top one percent. But given that circa 1960, 27 percent of students likely dropped out before graduating and these were overwhelmingly the weaker students, Martha may have actually been the third best out of 378, or roughly the 99.5 percentile (376/378) which rough equates to a 140 IQ; thus validating the biodemographic estimate.

Today I got the D3 and Zinc complex for it.
The liver needs it and most processes to heal the system.
Cholesterol is not bad.

Makes the liver and pancreas work harder. And other stuff.
Storage of fat as trans fat is harder to get rid of when nutrient deficit as adrenaline cannot be made to burn it, low vitamin C in kidney adrenals.
Profound reaching, PP.
Estimating her head size like that is somewhere between inane and in-sane.
She remembers the sexes of the valedictorian and salutatorian of her high school class, and you interpret that as her being ranked third?
Wouldn’t her expected IQ from academic performance regress to the mean to the extent of 1 minus the GPA-IQ correlation coefficient? She was involved in extracurriculars, so you make no adjustments?
With all due respect to you and the great Martha “Can Make a Bed” Stewart, I think you’re fudging the data/very optimistically interpreting the evidence to make it seem like most people who make it to the top of the socioeconomic hierarchy are closet geniuses. The only type of closet genius Martha may be is one of literal closets.
Sometimes elites are just smarter than average, work hard, make a few shrewd decisions, and get lucky.
Puppy confuses becoming famous on daytime tv with being a genius constantly.
You don’t need to be Aristotle, but you can’t have sustained success in that medium as a total mouth-breather either.
Oprah I totally accept as being effectively smarter than 99+ percent of people. I give her that completely. That doesn’t mean she, like any other smart person, can’t be incompetent or downright foolish when it comes to certain things.
In the same way that autistic people infamously obsess over trains – because they are mechanical, dependable, and restricted – PP obsesses over human adaptability and intelligence being manifested in directly measurable things like brain size and net worth. To him, a microcephalic outcompeting others and living in a big house via je ne sais quoi induces a kind of anxiety and disgust comparable only to that experienced by an autistic whose favorite train is refurbished and arrives late to the depot.
That doesn’t mean that he’s wrong about talkshow hosts being smarter than your average bear.
To him, a microcephalic outcompeting others and living in a big house via je ne sais quoi induces a kind of anxiety and disgust comparable only to that experienced by an autistic whose favorite train is refurbished and arrives late to the depot.
Part of it is my love of symmetry. I loved the idea of the World’s biggest brained woman/black being the most successful woman/black because it lines everything up so perfectly, perhaps a high-brow analog to an autistic toddler lining up his yellow cars and blue cars so that much are perfectly arranged from biggest to smallest. Even though I know intellectually that the correlation between success and IQ (let alone brain size) is far from perfect and I have no problem with that, I still get aesthetic pleasure from having a few vivid anecdotes where things line up nicely at the extremes which is why I resented Elon Musk for usurping Bill Gates as the richest man ever. I loved the idea of a 170 IQ stereotypical nerd being the richest man ever because of the near symmetry that invoked.
My love of symmetry even extends to certain horror films. For example many people, including the writer himself (Carpenter) hated the Halloween II (1981) plot twist where Jamie Lee Curtis’s character is revealed to be Michael Myers’s sister, but for me that was the best part of the series because I loved the symmetry of child Myers killing his older sister when she was 17, then returning as an adult to kill his younger sister when she was 17. I even wrote a popular blog post about Myers being autistic.
The plot of the first few F13 movies is also extremely symmetrical which I love.
Gates certainly could have a numerical (working memory) IQ of 170
I highly doubt his spatial IQ is that high.
The test cartouche posted put my math IQ at 109
spatial I am 125+
The people at industrial light and magic are extremely high spatial and numerical and mechanical (processing speed)
The verbal part of the team need storytelling that verbal is distinct from those three.
Storytelling requires causality

and why
Steven Wolfram’s numerical IQ is much higher than Bill Gates.
He made math software that you program in such a way that you can do this:
Circle = rotate by square root of phi (pie chart)
Phi = 1.618
Grid [8×8] • Circle – rotation of previous
Add variable slide for phi
This was 15 years ago
And you can make physics simulations with code like this in his software.
She remembers the sexes of the valedictorian and salutatorian of her high school class, and you interpret that as her being ranked third?
And she was friends with both of them and they compared notes. That combined with the fact that she said she ranked high in the class, was the only girl in the math classes, got a full scholarship to NYU and a partial scholarship to the female Ivy League (Banard college) where she started as a chemistry major, makes me think she was arguably third.
Wouldn’t her expected IQ from academic performance regress to the mean to the extent of 1 minus the GPA-IQ correlation coefficient?
For stylistic reasons, I usually try to divide my article into a statistical prediction based on biodemographics, and then we see how close the prediction came with actual psychometric data. In this case I had no true psychometric data so I used her class rank instead but I agree that class rank could have been in the prediction section. For that matter even IQ could itself could be in the prediction section since not even the best IQ tests have a perfect g loading & thus regress but you have to draw the line somewhere.
She was involved in extracurriculars, so you make no adjustments?
Well if you’re in 10 different clubs there’s not a whole lot of time to study, so in her case the high grades arguably reflected IQ and not grinding
The only type of closet genius Martha may be is one of literal closets.
LOL! Good one!
Sometimes elites are just smarter than average, work hard, make a few shrewd decisions, and get lucky.
For sure which is why I showed the 95% confidence interval of my estimate was 115 to 165 even though I personally think she’s in the middle of that range. But I have blogged about lowish IQ self-made billionaires too, like the lady who got rich after flunking the LSAT:
The liver stores resources for the body in case of emergency.
The liver processes fats with insulin from the pancreas.
Choline is the fat component of the Omega 3 and you need a lot for cell membrane especially in the brain where not enough the brain eats itself.
The adrenal glands use choline to make hormones for all kinds of functions.
Adrenaline is made to boost energy in the fight flight response.
–
Sleep cycle cleans the brain from waste.
Mitocondria make ATP
I have a gene for better DNA repair in my mitocondria
I also have a gene for more efficient fat transport in the blood.
Glial cells support the neuron’s metabolism removing waste and feeding them.
Mine are more efficient at removing dead cells from the brain.
Higher density of capillary blood vessels in the brain is linked to better cognition.
Your such a fucking clown. What weighting are you giving becoming a billionaire in your equation? Something like 90%?
She became a billionaire from being a celebrity. So did Kim Kardashian and Kylie jenner. Youre a dumbest person Ive ever seen making IQ estimates. What a joke.
Big difference between becoming a billionaire in 2021 like Kardashian did and becoming one in 1999 like Martha Stewart did. The latter was ten times more difficult. Also Kardashian was born into the family business. Stewart created an empire from nothing.
I want you to get this through your head:
Becoming rich by becoming a celeb is NOT a sign of any intelligence.
“Becoming rich by becoming a celeb is NOT a sign of any intelligence.”
Under PP’s definition it is. There’s more evidence you can’t draw inferences.
There is no greater friend of the high IQ gypsies than the blogger.
Defending blacks to the hilt in every comment. Routinely spams jewish ‘science’. Defends Harvey Weinstein employees to the hilt.
your matrix is almost correct
141.4 was what I got
What kind of numerology is that?
Hes an autisitic spaz. Hes just spamming numbers.
It is the correlation matrix of wealth bmi and head size.
This tells you the independent prediction effect between them but you need to add up all the column not just filling in half the matrix.
and it is at thee decimal points accuracy.
Martha Stuart Should be around 141.4 in IQ
i know it is trivial but you were off by 1.4 points
Is this some new math you invented?
i am sure it’s not
I learned that the matrix needs to be filled in all the way then add together the column to show how all relationships work.
so if a weaker correlation exists “between all” variables it will show up
the selection of the variables matters and is how most items can be eliminated from the positive manifold
if you had more than three variables you could find more
The selection matters
First of all, in a correlation matrix, in the cell where the column and row intersect, you’re supposed to have the correlation between that column and row. So where your wealth column and row intersect, you’re supposed to have 1.0 because obviously wealth correlates perfectly with itself. And similarly for the other two variables.
But you never added the 1.0 to the bottom.
so the addition is wrong
((IQ/200)•(IQ/200)) = the correlation to itself as a matrix
IQ 100
(√0.25)•2 = 1.0
In a matrix the square root is needed when 100 is the mean to find correlations.
Why did you leave half the matrix blank?
It’s common practice to leave half the matrix blank, because everyone already knows the correlation between a variable and itself are 1 so no need to print it.
In my state capitol THOUSANDS were marching against Trump and Elon. It was my first protest, and I had a blast. I met a lot of intelligent people, and I’m glad I’m not alone in my thinking.
Definitely going to start getting more politically involved.
You should march against the supreme court not Trump
The majority of the protest were white women and people of color. However, I was surprised at how many veterans and bearded “good ol boys” I saw.
Absolutely no indians, asians (other than me) or white gym bros.
Kind of sad.
I already took some of those tests on that site I linked you the other day, Pumpkin. I got some interesting results….
I think some of them might be good at diagnosing Social IQ
You could be right pumpkin.
The test I took was the PSAT/NMSQT
I found that my score of 1410 predicts a score of 1480 on the SAT
I did win the award amount listed on the official website ($2,500) as I still have the letter.
So maybe the confidence interval of the average winner 137 means people can get in even with an IQ of 120?
after I did all my classes they put me in the advanced class where I spent half the time doing stuff I wanted to do because I passed the tests I wasn’t sure why they were giving them to me.
and I never saw a counselor
Nor did anyone talk to me much
that is why I never thought about exactly what to do after highschool
from what I see now
i developed a more advanced version of ChatGPT
but only in theory (tokens)
not practically
because I could not code in OOP
my conception of code was like the laungauge BASIC or Fortran
i was unable to find books that taught the concepts I needed for my level
Im never shocked by trumps sayings, but the latest thing with pushing the palestinians into the desert was shcoking.
And you said he has a one in 300 million level social IQ. LOL
But its a shocking development that the neocons long term plan is to push all the palestinians into the desert. As you know I have a very low opinion of jewish ‘morals’ but this is taking the biscuit.
Hes nowhere near powerful enough. 99% of the population is mind controlled like you. The control most of the pols, most of the money and almost 99% of the minorities. His calculation is simple- i give them Gaza and i get to stop mass replacement and stop the Ukraine nonsense.
A lot of Americans support palestinian rights and oppose the Ukraine war and immigration. If he stopped wasting political capital on slashing the government and threatening Canada, he wouldn’t need to ethnically cleanse Gaza. He’s just sucking up to adelson to have access to her wealth & hopes to build trump hotels on beachfront gaza land
Believe me. The $300m the Adelsons gave is just a bonus. He knows the deal. He needs to do this stuff before another access hollywood tape, another russia investigation etc comes at him.
We both know the neocons are trumps real enemy the last 15 years. Theyre the ones funding all his opponents and throwing weird shit at him.
They don’t have as much power as they used to. It’s not 2002 anymore; power has shifted from the old media (CNN, New York Times, Fox news) to the new media (Elon Musk,Zuckerberg, Tic toc, Joe Rogan, Youtube) where neocons have much less dominance. Also, the internet has made society more democratic. Trump’s rise would not have been possible 20 years ago.
Yeah unfortunately Trump was democratically elected.
If you dont count the 4 million people purged from the voter rolls.
Protests against Trump are heating up:
Yeah, I was actually shocked how many people showed up for the protest.
I agree Trump would have not made it without the internet. But the neocons have many more tools than just the media. They have the deep state/NSA/CIA. They have most of the courts. They have AIPAC. They have academia.
Obviously the solution for them for Trump is….well you wont let me say it without banning the comment. But its something they would definitely consider.
They don’t really have academia because academia is high IQ and relatively low in psychopathy so it’s teeming with liberals who encourage all the protests. But Trump is MAKING academia more neocon by promoting policies that define criticism of Israel as antisemitism. He’s an Uncle Gentile who is desperate for Jewish approval, even though they voted for him at rates even lower than Muslim’s did. Because nobody respects a lapdog, not even their masters.
They control academia completely. Every single paper published. Every single major Ivy league.
But the point about jewish voters is really interesting. It shows there are many non-Zionist/racial supremacist voters.
All zionists are neocons dumbass.
False. All neocons are zionists, but not all Zionists are neocons. The main difference is neocons hate Trump; Zionists generally love Trump. Neocons are the sophisticated Zionists who write for the NY Times or teach at Harvard.
They are literally the same people. Literally. All the major zionist leaders ‘elders’ are neocons like Abrams, Nuland, Jen Rubin, Max Boot etc.
You think Netanyahu actually like trump??? LOL
You think Adelson preferred trump over hilary?? LOL
They are trying their best to control him but their preferred choice was Jeb or Hilary all day long.
Netanyahu views Trump as a useful idiot and preferred him over both Hillary & Harris.
Sheldon Adelson & his wife prefer Trump over any Democrat.
By contrast people like Thomas Friedman & David Frum & Bill Kristol much prefer Hillary & Harris & probably even Obama over Trump.
False. The neocons tried their level best to knock trump out of the race in 2016 and then again in 2020. In the republican primaries trump was outspetn sometimes 4:1.
Netanyahu would take hilary over trump in a heartbeat.
The neocons tried their level best to knock trump out of the race in 2016 and then again in 2020. In the republican primaries trump was outspetn sometimes 4:1.
Which is what I just said. Neocons hate Trump but the rest of the Zionists LOVE Trump
Netanyahu would take hilary over trump in a heartbeat.
False. Netanyahu deliberately helped Trump beat her. Even though Hillary’s a Zionist puppet (because Epstein had dirt on her husband?), she never would have ripped up the Iran nuclear deal like Trump did. That was by far the most important issue for Netanyahu
I’ve often wondered if the dems would run an animal or an inanimate object like a chair for president.
It’s pretty clear the only thing liberals in Western countries know how to do is destroy, teach intersectionality, and whine about how others allocate resources that they didn’t create or obtain.
I have a high-IQ blonde girl that orgasms on my brown cock every night.
Im her first brown lover. No other dude was able to make her cum like I do. My dicks not even big, white dudes just don’t know how to fuck.
Seethe about it
your gf is actually a dude.
sad.
Mugabe, you are my gf.
I think in some ways melo might be more mentally ill or neurotic than loaded.
I’m gonna be honest, almost everything Trump has done has been amazing. It’s hard to compare presidents given the disparate times they’ve lived in, but thus far, given how complicated the world is now, he truly could be one of the best presidents.
The combination of the mutual blackmail between all the powerful politicians and bankers and aristocrats making him effectively immune to it given the balance of powers, mixed with his stubborn and aggressive self-centered personality, his ruthless competitiveness, and his constant AB testing and willingness to listen to the people… he is truly the man for the time. We live in corrupt, surveilled and monopolized times, so it’s going to be far from perfect, but that’s what makes his combination of factors so good for this system. All of those factors made it clear to him that he has do these things fast and constantly abide by the majority will. There is no political solution… which is a metaphysical statement.
He’s doing what everyone could have hoped he did in the first term.
Hes doing some good stuff and some idiotic corruption stuff. Maybe the corruption stuff is what republican elders want and he just has to do it.
Trump is a lot more left wing on econ than he lets on.
LOL! One reason Trump is so politically successful is his fans blame anything they don’t like on the people around Trump (Republican elders), yet give only Trump credit for the stuff they do like. But Bolton would agree with you. He said on CNN last night that Trump has never ever been a fiscal conservative. But he meant it as an insult, saying Trump loves spending other people’s money.
No, its actually true most of his econ policies he never even reads or…frankly understands….he just gives it to the heritage foundation which is controlled by Koch and the oil people.
When they ask trump simple questions though he always says the correct populist answer. Should retail banking and ibanking be seperate? Yes. Should healthcare be nationalised? Yes. Should carried interest exist for PE people? No. Should outsourcing be freely available? No.
Its interesting that when they speak to his closest employees like his butler, his security man, his financial officer, his maid etc they all say trumps a good boss.
But if they speak to his contractors, plumbers and people far away from him on a building site, they despise him.
I explained trumps fiscal idea before. he literally thinks the US government can shaft creditors like a private businessman using the bankruptchy Chapter 11 and 14 to shield himself and just move on hahaha.
If the US defaulted there would be a gigantic financial crisis. But its also true, the very next day after the debt was wiped, people would still buy treasuries. Trump doesnt understand any of this/doesnt care
Patriots are truly in control!
Because We, the people, are in control!
cringe.
Mass protests suggest otherwise, dork.
Not really, freak. The mass protests just make Trump work even faster and harder.
Can you explain how the correlation matrix thing works? (or link me to an explanation if you have one)
Trumps theory of essentially robbing creditors actually works for smaller countries.
Max out the national credit card. Send the money to a tax haven then get on a flight to europe. Lots of african and latino dictators do it and the country is the same as before.
Look everyone here will agree or disagree with the policies. But trump has done more in 2 weeks than Biden and maybe even Obama combined.
Definitely more than Clinton as well.
‘Pure evil’: Robert De Niro unleashes on Donald Trump
Interesting interview. De niro should just come out and say the gossip he heard about trump in the ny social scence. De niro has been there as long as trump since the 70s. He knows the rumours. Theres something hes not saying.
My guess is that De Niro knows about the Trump charity thing. Where he solicited donations and then swindled it all. I think thats the one where he wants to say he knows people robbed but can’t say it for legal reasons. It was never criminally prosecuted.
In economics they call non-mainstream theories ‘heterodox’ or basically non trust fund baby friendly. Minksy, Marx and a lot of Robinsons stuff falls into the bucket.
Trump’s ‘theory’ of trade would definitely fall into it and it is very interesting because trumps trade theories actually make a lot of sense. Theyre basically common sense to a guy in a bar but don’t make sense to an autistic person.
When Trump says he doesn’t believe in free trade, but fair trade. Basically thats a very high IQ statement said by accident. Its actually true free trade can’t ever exist. Some countries basically have slave labourers and thats not going to change in the next 200 years.
Trump is always accidentally correct about alot of stuff hahaha. Ive never seen it in a famous person.
The other statement about trade deficits being ‘subsidies’ to other countries….
I actually don’t know if this is correct or not. I have to really think about it. Like, a lot more than trump thought about it when he said it.
PP, they guy I briefly dated 18 years ago recently got money for research. Like, a lot of money.
He’s in CompScience. I bet u would estimate his IQ as at least 145. I maintain he is more ambitious/motivated than anything else.
PS: I read somewhere that Gates said that he would be diagnosed as autistic if he was growing up today. Lol. Denial?
I found the Gates interview you’re referencing:
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/bill-gates-ndtv-interview-autism-spectrum-diagnosis-microsoft-source-code-my-beginnings-memoir-7630467
I don’t consider him autistic. Genuine autists tend to talk incessantly about their one narrow interest until they bore everyone else to tears and they tend to ramble on and not know when to shut up. Gates’s social problems were probably the result of being so much smarter than his peers.
The graphics user interface was invented at Xerox Park
Windows is a reverse engineered copy
Gates ability to do numbers made him a good executive.
yet the Internet caught him by surprise
He also had little to do with graphics cards that began in the 1980s research labs
Windows uses a proprietary version Linux
Seattle is in a nice place.
Reminds me of 1999 McDonald’s bene babies because in the computer class I took in 6th grade was the time I saw a video from 1992 about computer instructions sets to solve the traveling salesman problem. I drew my first computer in 1999 after seeing the iBook in the hallway of my elementary school. Then I did a book report on the transistor for 5th grade. I did not know it was a logic gate but I did know it was a crystal from the picture of the first model made at bell labs.
pirates of silicon valley I saw in 7th grade
It’s actually insane how easily people fall for misinformation.
You guys should’ve seen the stupid look on my Trump Supporter Uncle’s face when I explained to him the money going to transgender Guatemalans was to help prevent more border crossings because access to gender-affirming care was one of the biggest reasons they immigrate.
Shit is so easy. All of this info was already public and transparent, Elon just deleted the site and then pretended he was uncovering some mass fraud.
You morons literally have no ability to do independent research.
Even beta Jews are laughing at how beta Trump and MAGA are toward alpha Netanyahu:
It is INSANE how politicians capitulate to fucking Bibi.
I would be beating that dude’s ass on camera.
Maybe it’s just because I’m 28 and haven’t sold out yet, but I don’t understand how people don’t have the balls I do. It’s not that difficult to stand up for what’s right.
access to gender-affirming care was one of the biggest reasons they immigrate
melo actually believes that. what a clown-tard.
sad.
Lmao. Mugabe basically admitting that he fell for Elon’s lies.
Dude can’t even be bothered to look something up.
DUMBASS!
if i “looked it up” and found a quote saying that, i would know the person saying it was lying or retarded.
melo = false consciousness on steroids.
sad.
says the retard who fell for musk’s biggest scam, the exploding golf cart.
sad!
It’s not a quote you ass clown. You can google the literal organization that we were paying. They exist solely to help LGBT and women communities in Guatemala.
But no, nothing’s real unless it conforms to your preconceived ideology.
So? Is any part of this a good idea in practice? No.
Americans don’t exist to solve the world’s problems for them while they’re working 60 hours a week… and not even actually solve the problems and just create a bigger, more powerful government that demoralizes it’s populace.
yeah. my “ideology” that one of the biggest reasons guatemalans immigrate to the US is NOT to get gender assignment surgery.
CLOWN-TARD!
gender reassignment surgery may be a motive for a handful of guatemalan immigrants = NOT one of the biggest reasons!
“one of the biggest reasons guatemalans immigrate to the US is NOT to get gender assignment surgery.”
Not all gender-affirming care is gender assignment surgery.
You don’t know that because you’re dumb and uneducated.
Why are you calling it ‘care’. Is cosmetic surgery also ‘care’? Are you a stupid person?
Oh yeah, wasting your dad’s money under the auspices that bad people don’t come to across your border (wait, I thought they were great model citizens who commit less crime), creating more jobs that waste money for useless federal workers in the process, and still having more illegals come into your country is such a 5D chess move. As if even if it were true that would be good thing… Very nice that Trump doesn’t take advice from faggot liberals.
“Melo” is an example of a Reddit-type midwit who just repeats whatever he hears a Youtuber say. He doesn’t even think for 5 minutes if what he’s saying makes sense from a holistic perspective.
Kanye West’s Twitter/X is like LOADED’s comments if he was based and more successful.
Yeah, God forbid we spend a fraction of a percent of our tax money helping brown people.
But I bet none of you have an issue with Trump importing refugee white guys from fucking South Africa?
Just proof it’s not about some fake sense of pragmatism.
YOU’RE JUST RACIST.
Again you low IQ mutt, they wouldn’t need help if it were not for the international community getting involved in their country and forcing Whites to not take control and make South Africa great again. Excepting that, it’s only right that we help our White brothers, since our culture is being erased.
You’re so easy to debunk it’s sad.
Trump calling white south africans ‘refugees’ is hilarious trolling.
I bet Elon had a gigantic say in this particular policy.
Elon & Kanye at war over Elon stealing his Nazi act:
South African whites aren’t as good looking as North American whites. MAGA is going to be disappointed lol
The funny part is that I wouldn’t actually care if we imported South African Whites if their country was actually discriminating against them (they’re not)
I think America, as the most powerful country on the planet, has a moral obligation to help weaker people.
Regardless of race!
if their country was actually discriminating against them (they’re not)
melo: as one of peepee’s personalities i also make shit up and then claim it’s a fact. it’s not discrimination when it’s against wypipo. i am incapable of being consistent because mentally retarded and evil.
sad!
american affirmative action = melo body type
affirmative action in ZA = the austrian oak
sad!
English is Mugabe’s first language, and he still sucks at it.
Sad.
They clearly are and have been for decades. If you ever talk to south african ‘refugee’s and we had some in Ireland and I’ve met some in London, basically beloved blacky isn’t so beloved when hes in charge. Madeeba and the rainbow nation….is a jewish smokescreen.
Anyone find the concept of ‘sanctuary cities’ really bizarre? Your local law enforcement wont enforce national law?? Very weird and jewish. You can just imagine some psychopathic hack like Swank arguing in the state court that ‘states rights’ means you can ignore federal law on having a border. Mugabe would then agree with it as long as it wins in bs supreme court.
To my knowledge the weird concept of santuary cities never has been adjudicated at supreme level. I guess Pam Bondis lawsuit will make to Uncle Clarence and Alito and they have to decide whether Israel decides america’s border existing or not.
Obviously Israel’s (expanding) border is sacred.
I think South Africa is a pretty excellent example of a country being relatively rich under whites becoming a corrupt and violent cesspit in less than 10 years under blacks, even with whites funding it and ‘teaching’ them how to be serious.
Puppy cries for blacks in America but never whites in South Africa.
BTW puppy wanna know what Idi Amin did to Indians in Uganda?
I wonder what Melania actually thinks about policies her husband goes for.
Trump basically ignores her.
With Biden its the opposite. His wife was basically his chief of staff and directly ran the white house.
Hilary and Bill fought a lot. They agree on economics but on foreign policy I think Hilary is basically George Bush.
Michael I would guess shares the same politics as Barack. Ending Dont Ask Dont Tell and spreading gay rights was a big win for that couple.
I made a mistake. It’s not gender-affirming care that’s one of the biggest reasons people flee Guatemala. It’s gender-based violence.
The grant that we paid for was given to Lambda to curb immigration by creating safer spaces for victims of said gender violence. LGBT people are a part of that group.
2023 – LAMBDA – Inter-American Foundation
LAMBDA Association – Lambda Association
So, the money wasn’t even going to sex change operations to Guatemala. or at least there’s no evidence of that. They just made it up.
AND YOU ALL FELL FOR IT!
I would love to see a real poll showing BLMs approval rating….
Gallup will say 99% percent approval.
ADL and SPLC = 99% approval.
Kanye West = 1% approval.
My favourite thing about trump is when they keep asking him about far right violence and the alt right and stuff and he immediately bangs on about BLM riots. I think its the funniest shit I’ve ever seen a president say.
Easy to pick on blacks because they have no power. If he were even half a man he’d bring them some of that same energy for Israel instead of agreeing to clean up their mess with U.S. tax dollars. What a castrated little slave.
Children should be allowed to take puberty blockers.
Anyone who has read the medical and scientific literature on the topic would agree with me.
Gender-affirming care is the same thing as providing heart surgery to a dying child.
90% of surgeries are done to gay kids because people at the top actually hate gays.
If you cut the dick off then gay sex is impossible.
exactly what the elites want
–
transitioning a four year old is wrong even with the approval of the parents
^^^PEEPEE’S CLOWN-TARD PERSONALITY^^^
sad!
when kids need food
most doctors give them ADHD meds
as a kid my thyroid was bad
i needed iodine
not growth hormones
PROVE ME WRONG
you don’t need a mathematical proof
it is empirically wrong to give kids the wrong medical treatment
you don’t give kemo when other none dangerous methods exist to fight cancer
give kids food
The Afrikaner situation has completely exposed the farce of white nationalism.
Despite only being 9% of the population 72% of South Africa’s farmland is owned by White South Africans.
You all are literally pissing and shitting about brown people coming over and taking the shittiest jobs and living like pigs and that they deserve to be deported back to their homelands, but if South Africans try to simply have majority control in their own country YOU LOSE YOUR FUCKING MINDS.
PURE HYPOCRISY!
Yeah because White farmers were literally the ones who built the country, you pedo lover.
I believe in genetics, AND culture. I never said otherwise. The problem is people like rr or any other blank slatist or communist don’t have holistic theories that explain all levels of society and human interaction. Nazis do, comparatively.
You are such a brainwashed puppet it’s actually sad.
And stop linking “statistics” that have nothing to do with the arguments.
Of course blacks kill more blacks because the Whites in South Africa don’t associate with them and are a minority… Who said otherwise?
You fucking snow [n word redacted by pp, 2025-02-09] think since you conquered this land that it belongs to you, but if South Africans tried to conquer theirs back suddenly that’s a step too far.
White nationalism == White supremacy
If you believe only whites should have power on the planet and fuck everyone else at least have the balls to admit it, and don’t pretend you just want “the freedom of association” don’t pretend that you’re being scientific or logical.
But you don’t have the balls because you know Nazis get their fucking lights knocked out.
Yeah, and then a bunch of Germans got raped by the red army. It’s part of half Filipino culture so you must support it.
Melo, you are less of an American than any commenter here except LOADED. That’s why your opinion matters less.
You sound like every other liberal dipshit with TDS… Condoning mutilating children and giving them osteoporosis and myocarditis.
Oh, and by the way, only 0.375% of homicides involve South African Farmers (including black ones)
So, Mugabe, you can either agree to be my cuck or shut the fuck up.
These crazy variations in head circumference estimation are why you shouldn’t make estimations by just looking at pictures. Try and look up direct claims about her head circumference or hat size. Oprah’s and Rosie’s measurements are acceptable, Martha’s estimations are unacceptable unless they track with actual measurements of her head.
I have pictures with relatives in weird angles where my head looks smaller in some angles, and looks disproportionate bigger in others in spite of my head being about 3 cm larger in circumference based on measurement.
So just don’t use your eyeballing especially since you are going to skew it to align with other more accurate estimations anyway.
I agree, though some picture comparisons are fun if taken lightly. They probably increase traffic to the blog.
The whole ideological basis of these hyper-progressive globalists is contradictory. So we should stop kids from undergoing puberty who question their sex, yet at the same time we are trying to completely eliminate the outcome differences (including literally anything but self-recognized aesthetic perceptions) between physical differences?
People have no idea what they’re even working for… let alone children. Why would it be a good idea to “not be a man/woman” if we are also actively trying to erase the differences between a man/woman in every possible way? What’s the point of working for the future in general when you don’t even know what the future is? AI will make X skill meaningless. Synthetic prosthetics will make X body feature meaningless.
Work hard for a better lifestyle in the future… and “better lifestyle” will mean something completely different, and whatever you wanted could either be impossible or trivially easy for any one to obtain.
One of the best examples of how powerful the deep-state right wing media is is the massive disapproval of BLM as a concept.
Only 51% of people support it. The only way you could have a negative opinion about such a morally righteous and logically correct movement is brainwashing of some kind.
No it’s quite simple actually: You can’t ask people to be colorblind and meritocratic and accept structural racism at the same time, and not have them ask a bunch of other questions that lead them away from thinking simplistic propagandistic race-based social justice is the correct way of organizing society’s resources and morality.
You basically tell them, “hey, you guys are always making decisions based on race, don’t do that.” And “please make decisions based on race, except in the very specific way ordained by us that is totally fair and will not lead to even worse outcomes. And by the way, this involves a bunch of complete changes to your government, education, lifestyle, culture, all while you have to sacrifice yourself for every other group and give technology supremacy and governmental power to a small group who agrees with us, which we will use to enact our policies while your economic and joy levels degrade”.
No, go fuck yourself.
PEEPEE POSTS HER MOST EGREGIOUS RETARDATIONS UNDER THE MELO PERSONALITY.
SAD!
Just cause Melo knows you’re a moron does not mean he’s me. Everyone knows you’re a moron, not us two only.
NOW PEEPEE IS USING HER OWN HANDLE FOR HER WORST RETARDATIONS!
SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD! SAD!
Mugabe is the type to unironically say “All Lives Matter!” in response to BLM.

PEEPEE IS MENTALLY RETARDED. SHE HAS NO MEMORY. SHE’S EVIL.
TRUMP ENDED THE GAZA MASSACRE INSTANTLY.
Ended it by giving Israel all of Palestine on a silver platter while the U.S cleans up the mess and takes all the blame. What a tough negotiator! LOL
HE WAS AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR.
So was George W. Bush until the neocons talked him into it. The exact same thing would have happened to Trump
THE (((NEOCONS))) HATE HIM.
They hate him in spite of his obedience to Israel. He’s destabilizing the World.
EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT SINCE BUSH 41 HAS BEEN MORE OBSEQUIOUS THAN TRUMP REGARDING ISRAEL.
No other President moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, just handed Israel the Golan Heights and all of Gaza and got nothing in return. No other President assassinated an Iranian General for Israel and let America take 100% of the blame even though it was Netanyahu’s idea. Trump is so fanatically pro-Israel he uses “Palestinian” as an insult and uses it to describe Zionists like Chuck Schumer because not even he was pro-Israel enough. Trump is the greatest thing to ever happen to Israel.
You are a FUCKING IDIOT who shouldn’t be discussing g loaded topics.
He stop the great replacement dead in its tracks.
That’s because his boss Miiriam Adelson doesn’t care about great replacement.
What do you think of people from Oxford pumpkin?
Do some live in Boston?

They have a subway in the basement.
We have a small natural history museum in the town center.

Puppy. I genuinely want to know how you got a job as a political consultant. Was it DEI? Was it nepotism? What were the qualifications needed?
By being simply the best!
DA DA DA
Better than all the rest!
DA DA DA
Better than anyone!
Anyone you ever met!
Id say the neocons are having big long debates about this situation where trump is giving them Gaza but shutting the border. Rubin will be debating Abrams/Mossad and it will be hard to predict who will win and whether trump continues being president.
Really humiliating for Trump: “I’ll steal a country from the most oppressed people on Earth if you please let my people control our own borders”. Least alpha billionaire in the World.
But the truth is even more humiliating because Trump is not even negotiating. He’s genuinely mind controlled. He thinks he’s essentially Jewish & doesn’t realize what a joke he is. It’s like the blind black guy joining the KKK because he thinks he’s white. That’s Trump.
Most ridiculous political analysis ive ever read. Seriously how did you become a political consultant? Was it bribery?
If I ever meet Trump in real life I’ll say “you and Judge Judy are my two favorite Jewish women”
Puppy do you think your autism helps or hurts your level of political understanding?
I think your autism causes you to think Trump hates Israel when obviously he wants nothing more than to join the IDF:
https://x.com/LionBlogosphere/status/1888789151643783369
I never said trump hates Israel. I said he doesnt personally care either way. You are not socially intelligent enough to be talking about this.
For years you thought Trump was anti-semite because his butler is. That’s how disabled you are. He’s the most philosemitic President in American history. He’s an Orthodox Jew in white face or should I say orange face. LOL
Youre socially, not with it. He obviously doesnt like them personally but is socially intelligent enough to hug the neocons to stop his biggest opponent derailing his political career. Theres so much evidence of this from his former lawyer, his butler, his comments in public and his love of hitler.
You’re delusional. And Hitler would have HATED Trump, not just for his pathological philosemitism, but also for his genetic inferiority. Trump thinks he has race horse genes LOL
From Kushner’s book:
According to Kushner Trump replied: “Well, let me ask you a question. Why does she have to convert? Why can’t you convert?”
Kushner replied that she had made the choice herself [Like father like daughter] and was comfortable with it, to which Trump then remarked: “That’s great. Most people think I’m Jewish anyway. Most of my friends are Jewish. I have all these awards from the synagogues. They love me in Israel.”
Trump then added that he hoped Kushner was serious because Tom Brady, the superstar NFL quarterback, was also courting Ivanka.
PEEPEE SUFFERS FROM MENTALLY RETARDED SOCIOPATH PEASANT MIND.
SAD!
PEEPEE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHAT A NEOCON IS BECAUSE RETARDED.
SAD!
HINT: THE NEOCONS HATE PUTIN AND XI AND LOVE THE UKRAINE WAR. AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISRAEL. THE PILL PERSONALITY IS WRONG ABOUT THIS AS USUAL BECAUSE HE’S PEEPEE.
SAD!
” “That’s great. Most people think I’m Jewish anyway. Most of my friends are Jewish. I have all these awards from the synagogues. They love me in Israel.””
Lmao, that’s crazy.
You can see it in his eyes he’s a complete psychopath
“It’s like the blind black guy joining the KKK because he thinks he’s white.”
leave Dave Chappelle alone
He is a good guy
I swear to god sometimes I think you’re just an elaborate troll.
“Trump then added that he hoped Kushner was serious because Tom Brady, the superstar NFL quarterback, was also courting Ivanka.”
Lol I don’t believe that. Ivanka is ratchet as hell.
SO FOR THOSE PALESTINIANS WHO ARE STILL ALIVE AND HAVEN’T BEEN MAMED THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED.
AND ISRAEL DIDN’T GET GAZA!
AND ISRAEL DIDN’T GET GAZA!
lol autism
^^^MAKES SHIT UP THEN CLAIMS IT’S A FACT BECAUSE EVIL AND RETARDED.^^^
PEEPEE IS SO UTTERLY FUCKING RETARDED SHE DOESN’T KNOW THAT ISRAEL KICKED OUT ALL OF ITS OWN JEWS FROM GAZA IN 2005!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_disengagement_from_the_Gaza_Strip
they left in 2005 because safety concerns you moron. Totally different once Palestinians gone.
THEY DIDN’T LEAVE FUCKING LYING DUMBASS!
THE ISRAEL GOVERNMENT DRAGGED THEM OUT!
SADLY THE ONLY THINGS PEEPEE “KNOWS” ARE THINGS SHE MAKES UP.
utterly autistic distinction
Yeah i dont really get what he’s trying to do here.
It’s so obvious that Trump is Israel’s cuck
SO IF TRUMP GETS HIS WAY GAZA WILL BE AN EXAMPLE OF ISRAEL CONQUERING TERRITORY FOR THE US!
OF COURSE WHEN TRUMP LEAVES OFFICE THE NEXT PRESIDENT WILL GIVE GAZA TO ISRAEL.
UNLESS TRUMP MAKES THAT IMPOSSIBLE BY FOR EXAMPLE FILLING GAZA WITH RICH ARABS AND EUROPEANS!
Mug of Pee is so gullible he thinks Israel will remove all the Palestinians and clean up the entire area and then just let the United States own it. And even if they did, America then replaces Israel as the most hated country in the World. When Trump said he’d put America first, we didn’t think he meant as a target for terrorism.
PLUS TRUMP DISLIKES NETANYAHU INTENSELY.
That’s why he sucks his dick so much. It’s hate fucking
