Alex Rodriguez is at the White House ceremony.

Oregon's embattled Lori Chavez-DeRemer is at the Inter Miami White House event.

The commentary on the Inter Miami/White House livestream is filled with folks who have placed bets on Polymarket whether Trump will use the word "mogged" We live in a dystopian hellscape.

Polymarket and Kalshi’s Iran War Wagers Are Ghoulish — and Troubling As bad behavior in finance goes, the idea of insiders betting on the US and Israel attacking Iran is about as appalling as it gets. Cashing in on death and destruction across the Middle East — or anywhere else — would be despicable. But beyond the moral dimension, there’s also the issue of national security: Given that handing such information to an enemy would be an act of treason, should risking intelligence leaks through price signals be seen as any less traitorous?

Never mind the moral dimension, Polymarket and Kalshi should ban betting on wars for reasons of national security
