Investors dedicate countless hours to solving the mystery of how to beat the stock market - and many lose millions of dollars in the process. But the answer might be simple: Just copy Congress. A tool which copies trades made by members of Congress and their families has gained nearly 20 percent this year – performing twice as well as the stock market average of eight to ten percent. And a separate tool which is dedicated to tracking Nancy Pelosi's investments reveals her portfolio has returned a remarkable 50 percent in the last 12 months, vastly outperforming the 17 percent gains of the benchmark S&P500 index of America's top companies.

Gee, maybe Nancy would kindly think about offering her investment skills to other non-Democrat congressional investors. Although I understand that VP Horizontal Harris has done pretty well the last three years ... her net worth has increased from $3 million to $16 million.

It's a mystery why these brilliant stock market millionaires bother to become members of Congress when they could have amazing careers in finance. Clearly they do it out of a strong sense of patriotism.

Every Politician and Federal employee in positions which place them in the "know" about things that could affect the Stock Market, or particular Sectors of the Market, such as Pharmaceuticals, Automakers, Technology, etc., should be required by law to have their finances held in a "Blind Trust" in the same manner as the President and Vice President of the U.S. Martha Stewart can attest that it has been against the law for anyone to use "insider information" to profit in the stock market however, rarely do members of Congress get prosecuted, unless they have an (R) after their names.

You don't spend a million dollar of donated money to keep being a Congressman for nothing. There is money to be had on Capitol Hill and you don't have to dig for it. It comes in insider trading, Lobbyists, Governments that get money from our taxpayers and send 10% back to the Congress that votes to give it to them.

You are sure to make money it you can 'insider' trade. The population cannot participate in insider trading, but the politicians in DC can. Pelosi is followed by many people because if she is investing you can bet that she is making some sort of legislation to support her investment. Pelosi has a great following in the political arena and in the privet sector.

Argentine President Javier Milei used his first executive action in the top office on Sunday to dramatically rearrange the federal executive branch, reducing the number of cabinet-level ministries from 18 to nine. Many of the ministries eliminated were folded into new offices, suggesting that their functions will continue with a much smaller office and reduced staff. Three ministries – the General Ministry, the Office of Media and Communications, and the Legal and Technical Office – were elevated to cabinet level. Milei put the General Ministry in the hands of his sister and campaign fixture Karina, which required the signing of a separate executive order to undo limitations on appointing

President Biden referred to the presidential helicopter Marine One as “Air Force Helicopter One” Monday — while claiming that Ronald Reagan sent the chopper to take him from Delaware to the DC-area Walter Reed military hospital when Biden had a brain aneurysm in the 1980s. The 81-year-old’s anecdote is, like other biographical details he’s shared in public remarks, not supported by his own autobiography — or by Reagan’s daily presidential diary. “President Reagan was nice enough to send Air Force Helicopter One to take me down, but it couldn’t fly,” Biden told firefighters during a day-trip to Philadelphia, using an incorrect name for the aircraft.

Other Iranian officials jumped in to clarify that Tehran believes all of Israel should be given to the Palestinians, annihilating the Jewish state. Amirabdollahian told a forum in Doha devoted to the Israel-Hamas war that a state of “Palestine” should be created via referendum, with “only descendants of those who lived there prior to 1948 being permitted to vote.”

Former President Donald Trump has a double-digit lead over President Joe Biden in the key swing state of Michigan, the latest CNN Poll found. The survey showed Trump leading Biden nationally by eight points, 39 percent to Biden’s 31 percent, in a race that includes independent candidates. That gap, however, only grows in individual states such as Michigan, where Trump is now leading Biden by ten points — 50 percent to Biden’s 40 percent. Another ten percent said they would not support either candidate.

I'll start this with my typical poll story advisory: We're a ways out from the election yet, and it's a poll, so always take everything with a grain of salt. But I think this poll is instructive as to the general momentum moving toward former President Donald Trump and away from incumbent President Joe Biden at this point. Plus, the polls are starting to be redundant, with each finding similar things. So that gives them a bit more merit. First, let's start with the Real Clear Politics numbers as of Dec. 11. The RCP average has him up by 2.2. Check out the red ahead in the past month.

Hunter Biden's lawyer filed a motion to dismiss felony gun charges against him Monday, invoking the 2nd Amendment just days after the president's son got slapped with a nine-count indictment for alleged tax crimes. Attorney Abbe Lowell, who is forcefully confronting prosecutors' arguments in both cases, made the filing in federal court in Delaware, where Hunter is accused of lying on a form when purchasing a Colt Cobra revolver in 2018 – at a time when he has written he was abusing crack cocaine and other substances. He cited recent court rulings on gun ownership including a recent Appeals Court decision striking down prohibitions on prohibitions on drug users possessing firearms.

Lowell was inside the Wilmington courtroom when an earlier plea deal collapsed that would have dispensed with two misdemeanor tax charges and avoided a separate gun charge through a 'diversion' agreement. On Monday, he fumed about a new indictment brought by Special Counsel David Weiss that has him facing nine counts – while also reviving a skein of damaging information about blowing vast amounts of cash

After the past week's Congressional hearings, the presidents of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania are being exposed to an amount of publicity and scrutiny they're not used to and likely wish would go away. As we reported, the trio claimed that calls for genocide against Jews needed to be placed into context before deciding whether they violated student codes of conduct. The backlash was swift, and so was the backpedaling. UPenn's Liz Magill wasn't able to keep her job, though, and Harvard's Claudine Gay might not be far behind.

The Biden administration made two virtue-signaling proclamations at last week’s COP28 conference in Dubai it says will help save the planet from climate change. The policies aren’t likely to change the planet’s temperature by even one-tenth of a degree, but they might just destroy the 21st-century American industrial economy as we know it. First, Team Biden announced it will stop production of all new coal plants in the United States. This comes on the heels of President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency saying this year it would impose new power-plant emission regulations that are virtually impossible for coal plants to comply with. The bottom line: no more coal. Period.

Following precise IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF killed the new commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion, Emad Krikae. The previous commander of the Hamas battalion had already been killed by the IDF earlier in the war. Since 2019, Krikae had been the Deputy Commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion. He was previously responsible for anti-tank missile training in the Gaza City Brigade. Kirikae was also part of anti-tank missile fire and terrorist raids carried out inside Israeli territory. Following the elimination of the commander of Hamas’ Shuja'iyya Battalion during the war, Krikae temporarily assumed the position of battalion commander before also being killed by the IDF.

A Texas woman who sued the state to get an abortion for her high-risk pregnancy has left the state to have the procedure, her lawyers have said. Kate Cox, 31, sought an abortion after her foetus was diagnosed with trisomy 18, a potentially fatal condition that doctors said threatened her fertility. A lower court granted permission for an abortion, but the Texas Supreme Court put that decision on hold on Friday. Texas has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country. Abortions in the state are prohibited from the point of conception except in rare cases where the life of the expectant mother is under threat.
