Benjamin Netanyahu’s war costed Israel $139 billion, equivalent to 17% of its GDP, according to Israel’s central bank report.

SCAM India born Sriram Krishnan, Senior Policy Advisor on Artificial Intelligence, is "voluntarily leaving the position. Reportedly, he purchased his degree in India and entered the US on a VISA to work with Microsoft. Krishnan was a huge advocate for the India tech pipeline and removing per-country caps for green-card employment based permanent residency, to clear the massive backlog of Indian applications to enter the US. Allegedly, there were tensions about the H1B reform and 60 day waiting period. How much more will it take to convince you that the India-US corridor and those involved, doesn't benefit the US AT ALL? Ohio this is to you. Either you want your jobs, or you want to elect this. Vivek is selling data centers and automation. Tech jobs. Do you think you will get them? Vivek is selling ending Ohio engineering programs, to remove any competition from Ohio American graduates. Vivek is selling vocational training, so you can work for them.

BREAKING: Israel won't withdraw from land seized in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza, its defense minister says, hours after an interim Iran-U.S. deal was announced. Israel Katz's remarks are the first official Israeli comments since the announcement. apnews.com/article/iran-us-w…

What a remarkable outcome: the world's largest ever oil supply disruption failed to create a major energy crisis. The IEA said 2026 shock was worst than 1973, 1979 and 2022 together. And yet, the cost of oil, natural gas, electricity and coal never surpassed the previous peaks.

No thank you, Iran hawks

BREAKING: Netanyahu directly rejects the Lebanon clause of the US-Iran agreement announced by Pakistan, telling Trump the IDF will not withdraw from Lebanon and that Israel does not consider itself bound by the clause, per Maariv.

Great call, Ken!

Iranian deputy foreign affairs minister tells state television that Tehran and Washington have reached an agreement. Kazem Gharibabadi confirms signing ceremony to take place June 19. “Starting tonight, the US naval blockade against Iran will be terminated,” he added.

@Vladimirth Light 'em up!

The evidence Tulsi released today proves that Mitt Romney is a neocon shill who should not be trusted in the GOP. Isn’t it interesting the entire Democrat party (and uniparty shills like Romney) and the media and intel community tried to paint @DNIGabbard as a Russian asset? Meanwhile they were the ones trying to destroy US foreign policy using Russia as a scapegoat. All in the name of power… gross.

Don’t want it. Either stop this creepy spyware or all Apple devices will be banned from the premises of my companies.

🤣No, mate. You’re the American voice of Netanyahu.

No thank you.

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

Ice cream is actually one of the healthiest foods in existence, judging by a multitude of recent research articles. There was a very highly publicized article that came out in 2018 out of Harvard. It was for a student's dissertation, he found that ice cream was inversely associated with heart disease. The nutrition department and the student himself tried repeatedly to "make the association go away" with different analysis, and checking his work. But it didn't. Not only was ice cream reported as beneficial, it was actually one of the most beneficial dairy products analyzed. With up to a 12% reduction in heart disease risk for having >2 servings of ice cream per week. This wasn't the first study to find benefits of ice cream, and it also wasn't the last. In a 2013 meta analysis of studies, they also found a protective effect of ice cream on diabetes. You can see the bias against ice cream, as they don't even mention it in the main page. That's despite ice cream showing one of the BEST results of any food studied for diabetes risk. Another study from 2014 showed the same thing. Again, this is a meta analysis, not just one study. They are pooling together all of the studies on ice cream and diabetes and still finding this. The best result of any dairy food studied - here with a 32% reduction in diabetes risk. The bias against ice cream is very strong in these studies. A 2016 study once again showing the same benefit of ice cream for diabetes risk. They say that the study above (Chen et al) showed "attenuated association" once diet collection information was stopped after hypertension or high cholesterol diagnosis. They argue that this means that the association is invalid. But not only did they not try to dismiss any other food studied like this, but this is just objectively not true (see above - there still was an association). They also buried their results on ice cream in the supplementary tables so it didn't even make the paper. That's probably because they didn't like the fact that once again, ice cream intake was inversely and strongly associated with diabetes risk. So you really can't argue that there was some kind of agenda in favor of ice cream here. More recent studies show the same thing. A 2019 paper again showed a lower risk of diabetes with increased ice cream consumption. And again, they put this information at the very end in the supplementary tables to try to hide it. Finally, the most recent study in 2024 showed the STRONGEST association for ice cream's protective effect on diabetes. There was a linear dose response. That means more ice cream = less diabetes, straight up. In fact, there was a 50% reduction in risk for having one serving per day. Which, as you could guess by this point, was the greatest risk reduction of any dairy food studied. Why would ice cream actually be good for you? My main guess is the unique protective fats in dairy, that are abundant in ice cream. ◇ C15 ◇ C17 ◇ CLA ◇ TVA ◇ TPA are fats almost exclusively in dairy fat, and all have unique effects. ◇ Mitochondrial enhancing ◇ Anti-inflammatory ◇ Anti-thrombotic ◇ Lipid lowering ◇ Fat burning ◇ Cancer preventing I've covered these all at length in other content. Of course, this is all observational. This is simply seeing what people eat and then seeing what happens to them. It's not an experiment. That is definitely a limitation. However, when you see the same association, consistently, across decades, regardless of analysis and confounding adjustment, you probably have something real. This is not to say everyone should go and immediately pound gallons of ice cream for invincibility. But... it does mean having reasonable amounts of ice cream is likely good for you.

TRUMP IS LITERALLY TURNING THE DNI INTO THE EPSTEIN POLICE FORCE: In a move that almost nobody saw coming, Trump is pushing Epstein Island confidant Jay Clayton to be the new head of the DNI. Jay Clayton was a key partner of Leon Black's Apollo Global Management, which is nothing more than a Mossad front company. Leon Black is intimately tied to Epstein and plastered all over the files. Jay Clayton was then appointed to head the RIGGED SDNY to help with curating Epstein Documents for the DOJ. Jay Clayton will be weaponizing the intelligence community against critics of Trump, Epstein and Israel, turning the DNI into the De Facto "Epstein Police Force."

The strangest oil trade of 2026 isn't happening at sea. It's 700 tanker trucks a day crossing the Iraq–Syria desert. The biggest winner is a government that barely produces oil at all. Hormuz shut → Iraq lost 90% of export revenue. Baghdad will take ANY outlet. So 2 land corridors opened: al-Waleed in Anbar (31 March) and Rabia/Yarubiyah (20 April) the latter sealed since 2013. Destination: Baniyas, Syria's Mediterranean port. Then by sea to Europe. The numbers are medieval and massive at once: 500–700 trucks/day, 30 tonnes each. Baniyas unloading capacity up 30%, 120k bpd flowing. Baseline 150k bpd, target 350k. Moving just 50k bpd of crude takes 1,000 trucks running nonstop, this is a pipeline made of wheels. 💰The economics Here's the desperation premium: SOMO is paying $20–22 per barrel to move fuel oil by land. By sea it costs cents. Iraq signed for 650k tonnes/month anyway because the alternative isn't a cheaper route.... It's zero. Damascus collects on every barrel: transit fees, storage, port charges, plus cheap Iraqi fuel. At $2–3/bbl that's $8–13M/month, rising to $21–30M at full flow. For al-Sharaa's empty treasury, possibly his most reliable hard-currency stream. The worse Iraq's crisis gets, the more Syria earns. The structural irony is that Iran shut Hormuz to punish its enemies. Result, Iraqi oil money now flows to a Damascus government Tehran calls an adversary while Iraq, Iran's closest Arab partner, sits on life support. Chokepoints don't choose their victims, Geography does.
