The Metternich-Marlborough-Sun Tzu of our time has thoughts on Bibi's judgement.
🚨President Trump told me: "Why did Bibi have to do a fucking attack? I was so pissee off. I let him know. He has no fucking judgement. I let him know that"

If you replace the finish with a belly flop this works well as a graphic depiction of the vast majority of conservative commentary through the Trump years.

Get some kolaches, maybe in Zabcikville if you have the time.
Česká reprezentace, která během základní skupiny pobývá v texaském městě Fort Worth, přijala pozvání městské samosprávy k návštěvě místní čtvrti Stockyards. 🇺🇸 Český tým navštívil také tradiční rodeo. Čtvrť Stockyards hrdě odkazuje na místní tradici kovbojství a Divokého západu. Právě zde se v roce 1918 uskutečnilo první halové rodeo na světě. Děkujeme za pozvání! 🐂🫶

"US’s folly in Iran led by Hillbilly Obama AKA JD Vance." Yes, it's totally J.D. Vance, not Trump.

“Polls show that Trump voters still support his war aims. The catch is that it seems he no longer does.” Devastatingly accurate postmortem on the US’s folly in Iran led by Hillbilly Obama AKA JD Vance.

Money is fungible; a nation's accounts all roll up. If they can access unfrozen funds to make 'humanitarian purchases' then they have more 'other' funds to spend on being a pest.
U.S. official familiar with the Iran talks tells @DrEliDavid: • No cash to Iran. Any unfrozen funds are limited to humanitarian purchases and require U.S. approval. • No enriched uranium remains. All 60%, 20%, and 3.67% stockpiles must be removed or diluted. • Only temporary sanctions relief: a 60 day oil sales window that expires if no final deal is reached.

Do Hugh and Mark understand the extent they've supported and made excuses for the fool who initiated this war and is giving in to that rump regime?
Mark understands the rump regime in Iran and the IRGC that enforces its rule, because he has read Bernard Lewis and the founder of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini. Mark is exactly right on nature of the fanatics’ theology. Even if you have never listened to @marklevinshow or think you don’t care for him, watch and listen to these 16 minutes. It is driven by deep learning and a great love for the U.S. Every elected and appointed official should at least know the basics of the Khomeini’s doctrine. This is an enemy unlike any we have faced since World War Two.

Are you going to donate the proceeds of the book “to the people”? Have you already donated the advance? The “people” deserve the fruits of your labor.

It's almost as if a stock market allows people to purchase a share of the future cash flows of a company. The more those cash flows, or benefits from ownership, are thought to be, the higher the price of a share(s).
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did. And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves. One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults. Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life. If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever. Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen. Alternatively There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all. To start - If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers. It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail) Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability. Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up But They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

I was going to post something about the Deep State being behind the algae returning as a joke. And scene.
President Trump fixes the reflecting pool and a week later it’s green again, loaded with algae… Sabotage… Vandalism? I believe it is. The left can’t stand Trump, American greatness and his quest to make DC beautiful again. What a shame!

Spurs fans lamenting their team having double digit leads in the first quarter only to lose is understandable, but it is the NBA--"you only have to watch the last 2 minutes"--and large leads being overcome was a theme this year.

Notice how Khanna doesn't even pretend that it is state & local government making us prosperous. It is the FEDERAL government that is the magic dispenser of all things good.
This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.
