Drudge Report: I haven't looked at The Drudge Report in years.
Query: Are Drudge Report page views dropping because of chatbots?

Huge, huge news, local: HEB just down the street from us -- grand opening Wednesday, May 20, 2026. The iconic Texas grocery story will open at 6:00 a.m. I may camp out overnight. LOL.
CNBC: yes, I'm back to watching CNBC -- Cramer twice a day -- morning and evening. Right, wrong, or indifferent, he seems to be the only one who is reading about AI.
AAPL: reading the charts -- near term price target -- $315. Trading at $287 now. Apple is a story; it's under-owned and under-appreciated. General consensus among panel members on "Fast Money," CNBC tonight.
Friend: this past month, sold a house in California for $1.4 million. Bought a similar house in Frisco, Texas, north of DFW, on a golf course, for $400K. Leaves a lot of cash to fill the house with new furniture.
BRKB: up $5.00 today. Wow. Clearly a lot of folks were sucked in my Greg Abel's presentation. I was tempted to buy but didn't; the deal breaker: no dividend despite $400 billion cash horde.
Lana Del Rey!
- Rolling Stone: her 50 best songs; link here;
- how many artists even have 50 songs, much less 50 "best songs" reviewed in Rolling Stone?

New Tax On Super-Wealthy Will Have "Zero" Effect On New York State's Budget Gap -- May 7, 2026
Locator: 50744NYS.
Do the math.
NY state budget: $268 billion. (Compare with $170 billion for Texas.)
NY state budget deficit: $5.4 billion. (2%)
New tax on super-wealthy: $500 million (incredibly optimistic; the super-wealthy have ways of cutting their taxes). $500 million / $5.4 billion: about 10% -- that means the state still needs to come up with 90% of the projected deficit -- $4.86 billion.
NY state will solve the problem but it will be mostly through smoke and mirrors.
