Thiel is the highest-profile Silicon Valley tech figure to support Trump.

In his 15-minute speech, the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies said Trump is the antidote to decades of bad policy decision by both Republicans and Democrats that led to wars, housing and stock market bubbles and is sending America over a cliff.

Thiel used his speech at the National Press Club to take shots at Silicon Valley, saying its ‘elite’ denies the reality millions of Americans outside the Washington D.C. Beltway and wealthy Bay Area neighborhoods face.

We completely rebuilt the site on the WordPress VIP platform to make it faster, whether you’re on a smartphone or desktop computer. The crisp design is optimized for your phone or tablet and also makes browsing easier on the desktop. It highlights the important stories of the moment and helps you to find everything on topics you’re passionate about. You’ll also find a feed of stories from our SiliconBeat.com tech blog.

We simplified the site navigation. We reduced the confusing clutter on the main sports, business, entertainment and other pages. And you’ll also notice fewer ads on each page; those that remain will be more attractive, interactive and engaging for both advertisers and readers.

We redesigned the article pages to better display photos and videos. You’ll find more helpful links to related content as well as other recommended stories. We improved our social sharing buttons to make it easier for you to share an article with friends. Click on the topic tags you find at the end of each story to go directly to a page with more of that content. We are highlighting article commenting activity so you can see the stories that other readers are discussing.

We hope you’ll spend some time exploring the new design and are pleased with the changes. We recognize that you may encounter bugs or unexpected problems, but rest assured we’ll work as quickly as we can to deal with any issues.

Please let us know what you like, or problems you encounter. Send your feedback to
