Mark Cuban is such a confusing character…. On the one hand, he’s been wildly successful in life and business.  You watch him on Shark Tank and he seems incredibly sharp.  So you have to assume from all of that that he has a higher-than-average intelligence. And yet, that higher-than-average intelligence seems to go out the window and his IQ seems to drop 100 points any time the topic turns to President Trump or Elon Musk. Why is that? Well, we’ve covered that before and I’ll post my thoughts on that down below, but first let’s address the latest…. The latest is Cuban’s opposition to DOGE, which just seems to pointless. The man fighting against fraud, waste and abuse in the prescription drugs industry doesn’t want to fight against fraud waste and abuse in Government? Why? I thought this post from AbsentInsight summed it up very nicely: Mark, please. Think for a moment. Why resist an audit like this instead of help with it? The DC Democrats and Republicans are all in on it. — Absent Insight (@AbsentInsight) February 14, 2025 Exactly! But to his credit, Cuban replied to that post with the following: Any fraud they find is a crime against the USA. If you are going to accuse any one of a crime, you need to document it and prove it. If it’s a crime. File charges. Do it now. If you aren’t filing charges, what are you even doing ? What’s the point ? Fraud is against the… https://t.co/TE19tFbCzk — Mark Cuban (@mcuban) February 14, 2025 Any fraud they find is a crime against the USA. If you are going to accuse any one of a crime, you need to document it and prove it. If it’s a crime. File charges. Do it now. If you aren’t filing charges, what are you even doing ? What’s the point ? Fraud is against the law. That’s just real world. And if what they claim is fraud , is not , then that is a whole different shit storm If it’s a program that @doge and @elonmusk don’t believe should exist. Fine. But shouldn’t the people who got the funding get a chance to defend themselves ? Isn’t that the American way ? Shit. Have them on a spaces to discuss it. Trying to remake a bureaucracy isn’t easy or pretty. But it doesn’t have to be chaotic All of this feels like there is no plan The law of unintended consequences can get nasty if there isn’t a plan. And if there is a plan , why not show it ? If you have nothing to hide. Hide Nothing So he seems to support filing criminal charges if fraud is found but then doesn’t think any fraud is being found? Or that it’s not being publicly presented? Interesting. The DOGE website only recently launched and will be the central repository for posting everything in explicit detail. And I have a feeling that will trap many people like Cuban who have taken the approach that “sure I support criminal prosecutions if fraud is found, you just haven’t shown me any yet.” So what happens when suddenly there is a flood of indisputable evidence posted? Those people will have no choice but to go along with that, having already staked out their positions. In an even clearer post responding to Elon Musk himself, When can we expect criminal charges against the perpetrators of fraud ? #lockthemup Seriously. Fraud is bi-partisan. Sooner they go to jail the less fraud we will see. https://t.co/CODZWTkNe0 — Mark Cuban (@mcuban) February 15, 2025 When can we expect criminal charges against the perpetrators of fraud ? #lockthemup Seriously. Fraud is bi-partisan. Sooner they go to jail the less fraud we will see. This is much more clear and much more aggressive, asking when can we expect criminal charges against the perpetrators of the fraud? Of course I don’t think Mark truly wants that or believes it will come….I think it’s said very tongue-in-cheek to make the point that he doesn’t believe any will ever be found. Oh how wrong I think he will soon be. What do you think? But now let’s talk about Cuban himself….why so much hate an animus for Donald Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE? Well, for Elon I have a hunch it’s kind of simple….Elon is just way more successful and way richer than Cuban and Cuban likes being the BMOC. As for Trump? Well, we’ve covered that before: Mark Cuban Confirms AGAIN Why He Turned On Donald Trump Mark Cuban Confirms AGAIN Why He Turned On Donald Trump Talk about living "rent free" in someone's head.... President Trump clearly broke Mark Cuban and Cuban has never really recovered. It seems Cuban is holding on to many grudges, which we have documented here before and I will reprint down below so you can see them all. But he once again confirmed this morning exactly what is eating him up inside so badly.... It appears that Cuban once asked President Trump for a favor and he was declined. And it also appears that Cuban never recovered from it. He admits it in his own words, take a look at this Tweet he just posted: https://x.com/mcuban/status/1840425734659358809 Elon, there will come a time when you need something from Donald Trump. You will think you will have earned the right to ask and receive. You have been a loyal, faithful soldier for him. You have supported him politically with 10s of millions of dollars. Then, at the point you need him the most, you will find out what so many before you have learned, his loyalty is only to himself. LOL, he even put it in all BOLD to let everyone know how super serious he is about it and super offended he still is all these years later. We get it Mark, Donald Trump hurt your feelings. BOO HOO. Someone get him a tissue for his issue, I think he needs a BIG one!

Mark Cuban in 2015: I support Trump because he is an imperfect person and he opens the door for other imperfect people to run for office. pic.twitter.com/XAOVYjqTLm — MAZE (@mazemoore) September 20, 2024 MORE: We FINALLY Know Why Mark Cuban “Went Crazy” Supporting Kamala Harris Mark Cuban used to be my second favorite Shark on Shark Tank. First will always be "Mr. Wonderful" Kevin O'Leary, I love his blunt truth telling. When everyone else would rather give platitudes rather than actually telling the person what they need to hear, O'Leary gives it to them straight, even if they don't want to hear it. Plus, his creation of the phrase "cash flowwwwww" is an all time legend. But Cuban used to be my second favorite until he kind of went crazy.... And no one could figure out why. The man who no doubt thinks he's always the smartest man in any room, and to be fair probably is most times, suddenly lost 50 IQ points and started trying to convince us all that Kamala Harris was not only a great candidate but the best candidate for the economy! It made ZERO sense. We've been trying to figure it out and finally today we got the answer. And it's really simple: he wants a job! We finally got the motive today when Cuban announced he wants to replace Gary Gensler as Chair of the SEC. Check this out: JUST IN: Billionaire Mark Cuban, who has suddenly become Kamala Harris' biggest spokesperson, says he wants to be head of the SEC. Cuban on Fox: I want to be head of the SEC.

First, it's nice to finally have the motive revealed in plain daylight. Second, he hitched his horse to the wrong wagon.  Cuban thought Kamala would win, so he went all in, hoping his support would lead to the appointment. Sadly for him, President Trump is going to ride to a landslide victory and Cuban will have backed the wrong horse. Third, that all said, this would be a tremendous opportunity for unity post  a Trump win... Mark Cuban WOULD be a tremendous SEC Chair. I can't wait until the moment Gary Gensler and his rat face is FIRED, and Cuban would make a fantastic replacement to undo everything Gensler has done. Cuban is a free market capitalist (at least I think he is, notwithstanding his Kamala Harris miscalculation) and he could bring quick innovation to the SEC and to our economy. Cuban knows what it's like to be targeted by the SEC and I think he would greatly dismantle the (fraudulent) enforcement arm of the SEC that TARGETS Americans instead of protecting them. Lastly, Cuban is pro-crypto (I believe) and could usher in tremendous crypto growth. I see it as a great opportunity. Cuban would need to publicly apologize for his hostility to President Trump  and the President Trump could bury the hatchet and appoint him as SEC Chair. Let's do this! We'll see if Cuban has the character and fortitude to do so....he will have to get over this first: Now We Know Why Mark Cuban Hates President Trump -- It's Personal Mark Cuban is a smart guy, or at least he always seemed like a smart guy.... But like so many people who contract TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) they start to lose all common sense and rational thinking and they start making really strange decisions and saying really strange things. In Mark's case, it's his completely irrational support of Kamala Harris, even going so far recently as to go on CNBC and say her policies will absolutely crash the stock market worse than 1929....but he still supports her! What? WHY? Well, whenever something is so irrational like this, the answer often lies in the fact it's personal and emotion. In short? Some wittle baby got his feelings hurt!

No, Cuban hasn't suddenly flipped to full MAGA. But he is being intellectually honest here and coming to Donald Trump's defense when it comes to allegations in the New York "fraud" case that he is broke. It's pure nonsense. I've been telling you that and now Cuban is chiming in. Specifically, he is responding to the goofy and uneducated Ted Lieu, who wrote this on Twitter: “Trump claims he is a billionaire. But he can’t pay a $464 million judgement. That means he is lying. How do I know? Math,” Lieu wrote on X. Trump claims he is a billionaire. But he can’t pay a $464 million judgement. That means he is lying. How do I know? Math.#TrumpIsBroke https://t.co/OSS0nR8d6r — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) March 18, 2024 Cuban responded to Lieu on Twitter setting the record straight: Ted, you know I'm no supporter of Trump. That's for damn sure. How anyone can vote for someone who has so many of his executive employees turn on him, and, say he is incompetent is beyond me. But you are wrong on this topic Ted. Net worth is completely different than cash in the bank. We were in a zero interest rate environment for a long, long time. So keeping cash in the bank or even money markets was dumb. In fact searching for yield is what killed small banks last year. Also dumb was keeping interest rates that low for that long. Something Trump demanded more of. So you can argue that trump put himself in this situation by making sure that the only way to grow his net worth was non cash investments. You can also argue Trump sucked at growing his net worth which led to him putting himself in this position by lying to banks about his assets. There is only one reason to lie on a loan application - you have to. On a more macro basis Ted. Even if rates were along a long term trend line for the past ten years, few people are keeping more than 45 percent of their assets in liquid assets. And as far as the bond companies Trump's assets are mostly interests in commercial real estate and foreign assets. No bond company is loaning against them in this commercial real estate market, if ever . Ted, you know I'm no supporter of Trump. That's for damn sure.

Smith: "Trump is WHIPPIN' y'all ass! You can't beat him!" I've never been a huge Stephen A. Smith fan, always found him a bit grating... But he's going viral today for a rant about Democrats getting their "asses whipped" that is so good I had to share with you. It's almost as if he's starting to red-pill right in front of our eyes? Now I don't want to misquote him or suggest he's now a Trump supporter, because he clearly isn't. But I view this as a huge Step 1 towards a full-blown red-pilling. And even though I doubt he would ever admit it even if it were true, I wonder if secretly in that voting both come November if he fills in the circle next to Donald J. Trump. It wouldn't surprise me after hearing this: ESPN’s Stephen A.

How soon before Stephen "Naismith" goes the full distance and posts a rant like this: Far-Left "Comedian" Michael Rapaport Posts New Rant: "Voting Trump Is ON THE TABLE!" No, you are not reading a repeat article. Last year, Michael Rapaport stunned many by posting a rant online saying "voting for Trump is on the table." Today he just went on another foul-mouthed rant and once again confirmed voting for Trump is absolutely ON THE TABLE! Excuse the vile language, but here's a portion of what he said: “This is why when I say voting for Pig, Donald Trump is on the table. Voting for Pig, Donald Trump is on the table. The other day in New York City, six illegal aliens jumped a New York City cop. NYPD’s finest, they jumped a New York City cop in Times Square and were arrested and released without bail. I know it’s a city thing; I know it’s a state thing. I know all that. Okay, stay with me. Released without bail, they came out of the courtroom on some Tupac, raising the middle finger with the Detroit Red Wings jersey. Let me tell you something: What the f*ck is the world coming to if you can be from another country, beat up a cop in New York City, and walk out with no bail? What the f*ck is the world coming to?” “On the same day that happens, Cadaver Joe Biden issues an executive order about four “settlers” in Judea Samaria, aka the West Bank. Some troublemakers. Three of the four have already been arrested. You issue an executive order about four troublemaking ops who’ve already been arrested in Judea Samaria while there’s a war going on, while there’s a hundred plus hostages still being held in Gaza. You’re talking about that, but you’ve got nothing to say about beating up cops in New York City, the greatest city on earth? Maybe my city is not the greatest city on earth anymore if you could beat up cops. If you could beat up cops in the “greatest” city in the world and be released without bail, are we the greatest city on earth? Cadaver Joe Biden, we see you. We see you. Don’t worry about those in Israel. BB got them. Israel will take care of them. Worry about cops getting beat up in Times Square and walking out with no bail like Tupac Shakur; worry about that. This is why voting for Pig Donald Trump is still on the table.” Watch it here: Is NYC the greatest city in the World? Maybe not!!! Another reason why voting D!ck Stain 2024 is on the table!!!!

Rapaport shared a video to X Friday railing against the recent news story about illegal immigrants in New York City beating up cops and then being released shortly after the altercation. Furious at the idea that the Biden Administration has been tougher on foreign issues than domestic issues like a record migrant surge, Rapaport opened the clip by slamming his fist on a table and declaring, "This is why when I say voting for pig d--- Donald Trump is on the table, voting for pig d--- Donald Trump is on the table!" MIGRANT ARRESTED IN SPAT WITH POLICE AFTER SHOWING OFF NYPD ATTACK VIDEO Rapaport on TV Comedian Michael Rapaport slammed the Biden Administration for not prioritizing the migrant situation thats ravaging New York City, warning that voting for former President Trump is "on the table." (Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images) He explained, "The other day in New York City, six illegal aliens jumped a New York City cop. NYPD’s finest. They jumped a New York City cop in Times Square and were arrested and released without bail." The incident happened this week and was captured on surveillance footage. It showed two cops wrestling with and getting kicked by multiple migrants. As Rapaport noted, several of the men arrested for the incident were released without bail and four of them are believed to have used fake names to obtain travel vouchers and flee the city for California. Rapaport appeared furious with the news and commented on recent footage showing one of the migrants flipping off a news camera while leaving a New York City courtroom. "Released without bail. Came out of the courtroom on some Tupac – raising the middle finger with the Detroit Redwings jersey." "Let me tell you something, what the f--- is the world coming to if you could be from another country, beat up a cop in New York City and walk out with no f------ bail? What the f--- is the world coming to?" And now if you missed his rant from last year, here it is: Michael Rapaport FLAGGED By Instagram! Well, that was quick! After 8 years of being one of the biggest "Never Trumpers" out there, Michael Rapaport released a viral video this week complaining about the economy -- comparing to be being less desirable than a colonoscopy -- and then said voting for Trump was "on the table". You gotta love it! I'll post that down below, but here's the hilarious part.... There is no honor among thieves and the "thieves" over at Instagram quickly turned on the actor hitting his account with a warning about posting "False Information". Hilarious! Watch this: Wow....that was quick! They got him! pic.twitter.com/beRwM2r2Ha — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) November 21, 2023 Here's what the warning looked like according to reports: Yep, @Timcast , Instagram is censoring Michael Rapaport. pic.twitter.com/I50JV0B96v — Erika Stephens, Free Speech Enthusiast (@BalkyHillMama) November 21, 2023 In the interest of full disclosure, I tested it myself and did NOT receive the warning message, so perhaps Instagram has seen the online mockery and (temporarily?) taken down the warning. We will continue to monitor. Here was the original story we covered earlier this week, which includes Rapaport saying he may be voting TRUMP! Famous Anti-Trumper and Actor Now Ready To Vote TRUMP In 2024! Ok, I apologize right off the bat, perhaps I shouldn't have said "famous". I'm not sure how famous this guy actually is. Have you heard of him before?  Michael Rapaport? Ok, so how about "D-List Famous Anti-Trumper and Actor"...is that more accurate? Or how about "Infamous"? Either way, a dude who fancies himself a Comedian and Actor named Michael Rapaport has been suffering an EXTREME case of Trump Derangement Syndrome for the better part of 8 years now, but suddenly shocked the world when he went live online to announce he's not only talked to President Trump but he's likely going to vote for him in 2024. Pretty incredible. Watch this short clip here: Infamous "anti-Trumper" now open to voting Trump in 2024!

And you know what? I don't have a problem with that. Free Speech kind of works like that. But as always, this confirms one of the oldest and most reliable truths in politics, I believe first famously said by James Carville: "It's the economy stupid!" People can go Far Left Woke and dream about Far Left ideals.....UNTIL.....it hits THEM in the pocketbook. So people like Michael Rapaport, who have maybe banked up some money from his time in Hollywood, might be able to stay Far Left for longer than most, but eventually when even he can't get a job anymore or afford a house or afford a car, finally even he taps out. It's the economy stupid! EVERYTHING WOKE TURNS TO SHIT! And eventually people realize that and say "Enough's Enough!" when they themselves turn poor. Often it's too late by that point, but credit to Michael for finally waking up. For a history on Michael's Extreme TDS and prior flare-ups, keep reading: TDS ALERT: Michael Rappaport Goes On Another Unhinged Meltdown Over Trump...

'I just drove off in the car and hit him head-on'

Because common sense is the key to understanding America’s original design at every level, America was long known as “The Common Sense Nation.” Now, President Trump and his “common-sense revolution” might succeed in making America the common-sense nation once again. Unalienable rights and self-evident truths are the core ideas of the American founding. Those ideas are also the core ideas of a philosophical school known as “common-sense realism,” inspired by Adam Smith, Thomas Reid, and other representatives of the Scottish Enlightenment. In the words of Arthur Herman, “Common Sense Realism was virtually the official creed of the American Republic …” As historian Allen Guelzo explained in “The American Mind,” his indispensable college lecture series, “before the Civil War, every major collegiate intellectual was a disciple of Scottish common-sense realism.” The founders were true revolutionaries, believing that the people were capable of self-rule by virtue of their common sense. America’s founders were guided by the ideas and the thinking of the common-sense realists. Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton, especially, were thoroughly trained in common-sense realism by their teachers, who brought those ideas and that manner of thinking from Scotland to America. Today, the centrality of Scottish common-sense realism to the founding of our nation and to its ongoing sense of purpose is all but unknown. The founders would be astonished by our ignorance of the men who inspired their work. Admittedly, it has been a struggle — for more than a century, American academia has labored to obliterate the memory of what was once known by virtually every American. Of course, academia has also been working hard to destroy “common sense” in its ordinary usage, too, insisting that men and women are arbitrarily designated categories and that the imperative of every English professor is to support violent insurgency. As a witty friend of mine likes to say, “Say what you want about the liberal arts, but they’ve found a cure for common sense.” Thomas Paine was the great champion of ordinary common sense at the time of the founding. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Paine’s short book “Common Sense.” This pamphlet was and remains the best-selling American book in publishing history, and it was read aloud in taverns and village squares. It had a decisive influence on American public sentiment in favor of the Revolution. Paine turned the spotlight of common sense upon monarchal rule to devastating effect. “One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in Kings,” Paine wrote, “is that nature disproves it, otherwise she would not so frequently turn it to ridicule, by giving mankind an Ass for a Lion.” The founders’ wild and crazy idea was that the people are sovereign. At the time, this construction was a contradiction in terms. The monarch was the sovereign. To say that the American people are sovereign was to say that the American people would rule and that government in America would be the agent of the people. Talk about turning the world upside down! The founders were true revolutionaries, believing that the people were capable of self-rule by virtue of their common sense. Today, the progressives — whose purpose from their beginning has been to dismantle the America of the founders — often justify their claim to power by claiming that Americans do not have enough common sense to be able to rule themselves. That is a back-handed reference to the fundamental role of common sense in the founders’ America. It certainly feels as if we are now engaged in a titanic struggle to determine America’s future. Perhaps the best way to understand the meaning of that struggle is to see it as an effort to restore rule by the common sense of the American people. President Trump and his common-sense revolution may be precisely what patriotic Americans have longed for — and what America has long needed.
