Selling your house is stressful. Can’t imagine what it would be like if we *needed* to sell. We just countered a buyer’s offer :-D

Iran just leaked the receipts on the new deal, and it looks like a total US capitulation. According to Mehr News, Tehran claims Washington locked in a staggering $300 BILLION in direct reconstruction funds. Even wilder? They're allegedly getting $24B in frozen assets unfrozen, with $12B handed over upfront just to sit down at the table. This completely torches Trump’s narrative that Iran wouldn't get a single cent. Trump is trapped. This is a massive checkmate.

We were told the war was necessary to: • remove the ayatollahs and IRGC from power • get Iranians to rise up and take control • eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons capacity • end Iran's support for terror around the globe • create stability in the Middle East None of those things happened. None. Instead, Iran is getting billions. Its homicidal regime is intact, worse than ever before. It keeps its weapons-grade uranium. It gets to keep its proxy armies in Hamas and Hezbollah. It is getting de facto control of the Strait of Hormuz and has been transformed into regional superpower. This "deal" is a fiasco. Not just for Israel, but for the world. And it will take years to repair the damage.

Working in healthcare IT around the world for 20 yrs has exposed how financially driven healthcare in the US is. UK, Australian and Canadian sites (which have universal healthcare) seem to have less focus on financials than US sites… and it all comes back to insurance companies.
This may sound counterintuitive, but the best place to start a path to Universal Healthcare is with big companies. Our biggest companies are really bad dealing with the economics of their healthcare benefits. They get ripped off. A lot. They are not functionally set up to address both cost and quality of outcomes. They take on all the cost risk. But. They hire companies affiliated with huge HC conglomerates to manage it all for them. Those conglomerates keep the huge companies as much in the dark about actual costs as they do the 20 person start up I can’t tell you how many times I have talked to companies with tens and hundreds of thousands of lives who had no idea whether the price the company administering their medical benefits paid a hospital for a surgery and in patient stay, was the same price they billed the company. They have no idea at all. In many cases, they only receive a weekly invoice for millions of dollars for their medical and pharmacy benefits and they have no idea if it accurately reflects their contract, or, if they got the best price , or if there is a spread and more Some try to audit, but the claims data doesn’t incorporate the actual amount paid to the care provider. Nor does it have all the fields necessary. Or even worse, sometimes they only get their weekly invoice and don’t have full claims available to them Still, despite this they “ trust” these big conglomerates to act as middlemen and rip them off. Why don’t they switch ? This is the conundrum they find themselves in. They have tens or hundreds of thousands of employees and their families they cover. The law of big numbers say a lot of those folks are in very messy situations. They dont want to go through the pain, fear and uncertainty of moving from their current source of care. And the HR department knows the emotional switching cost of moving away from the incumbent is incredibly high. They don’t have enough people working in HR to deal with it. Those same big companies rarely have more than one person acting as a “HealthCare CFO “, responsive for making sure all the pricing is accurate or negotiated. And of course, no big company wants to admit they are getting ripped off. And none will violate their confidentiality clause of their contracts. I literally tell them to put a pdf of their HC contracts into their LLMs and just ask it “where am I getting ripped off “. Not perfect. But the list is always very long and eye opening So what should they do. The word of the week is “Carve Out”. These companies are big enough they can ask to Carve Out anything they want. I tell them to use their Carve Out to direct contract with transparent surgery centers and providers. Maybe just hop or knee replacements to start. Hopefully CostPlusDrugs.com too :) This is the starting point

Hey dumbasses, “Biolabs” are research facilities, the type that track things like tick diseases. The US does fund them globally, including in Ukraine, that’s not a secret. Pretending it is a secret and pretending it’s something dangerous is a literal Russian talking point.

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel. This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide. I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

“Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work.” Yes, and she did this before joining ODNI and again on her way out the door, which should probably tell you where she’ll wind up next. Senators who voted to confirm her should think on their sins.
EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To “Resign” As DNI 🚨 In her “Ukrainian Bio lab” document “declassification” release this week, I’ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government. Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbard’s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda. Here’s the evidence: Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.… Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the US’s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do. Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government. Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022. Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies. Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week. Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/up… Gabbard’s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine. Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research. But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act. My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond. I look forward to reading the emails. The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration. Nice to know ODNI gets their “intel” and their graphics from Russian intelligence. See photographic evidence below 👇🏻

"A year later, the situation changed. According to a Ukrainian soldier with the call sign "Nick", who took part in the Estonian exercises for the second time, the infantry now responds quickly to drones, and the overall organization of the troops has become much better." As I said before, the only way to get changes implemented is to get the shit kicked out of you in exercises that allow for that. militarnyi.com/uk/news/ukray…
