@IrishTimesBiz Funds article demonstrates why so many stay away. Industry likes to point finger at tax complications but really should be looking closer to home.

@Kasparov63 Surprising they're still going to hold elections at all.

Anyone who thought creating the largest internal security force in the country, answering only to the president, was for anything else hasn’t been paying attention.

Steve Bannon: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms. Mike Davis: “I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places” Saying the quiet part out loud.

BBC correspondent admits Trump is backing down and conceding defeat. Iran threatened to obliterate Gulf desalination plants. Without water the Gulf states collapse in days. They begged Trump to stop. Total humiliation for Washington.

@TukiFromKL Surely you're not suggesting that such a beacon of virtue as Donald Trump mat have been somehow involved?

🚨 Do you understand what just happened..
five minutes before Trump announced he's halting attacks on Iran.. someone bought $1.5 billion in S&P 500 futures and sold $192 million in oil..
five minutes.. not five days.. not five hours.. five minutes..
the trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else hitting the market at that time..
someone knew the exact words the President was going to say before he said them.. and turned that information into the biggest single trade of the day..
they tell you the stock market is a "free and fair market".. that "anyone can build wealth".. that "the system works for everyone"..
the system worked for someone today.. five minutes before you even knew what happened.. they already got paid..
this isn't insider trading anymore.. insider trading implies they're hiding it.. this is broad daylight.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

@TheNewsAgents He wouldn't do anything where there wasn't $$$ in it for him.

"The cynic in me wonders how many of his mates knew this announcement was coming."
This morning - as markets opened - Trump declared productive talks to end the war with Iran. An hour later, Tehran contradicted him.
Was Trump simply declaring peace to drive oil prices down?

"By March 3rd they will be incapable of launching anything." That's the kind of thing people were saying three weeks ago. Here's an update on what happened in Israel yesterday:
Brother Pete 👽 ⛈️ 🔨@kingsweapon
@Ike_Saul So, 3 missiles made it through out of 200+ and you are saying that is evidence that the Iranian attack is overwhelming air defenses? Not to mention none of them hit any military target. Just random places in Israel. By March 3rd they will be incapable of launching anything

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says we're about to FIND OUT what happens if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz within the next 27 hours
You KNOW Trump is keeping his word on this one. The regime is set to go full BLACKOUT mode. 🔥
"We're about halfway into the president's deadline for that ultimatum to Iran about the Strait of Hormuz."
"The president wrote if Iran doesn't fully open without threat the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from this exact point in time the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants starting with the biggest one first. That was last night."
"Iran's Speaker of Parliament responded immediately after that happens, the critical infrastructure, energy infrastructure and oil facilities through the region will be considered legitimate targets and destroyed in an irreversible manner."
English
Iran says it will retaliate across the Middle East and "irreversibly" destroy critical infrastructure if President Trump carries out a threat to "obliterate" Iran's power plants unless the Strait of Hormuz is fully open within 48 hours. Follow live updates. cnn.it/4uAY4R0

Reopening the Strait of Hormuz — a critical conduit for global energy supplies — has emerged as perhaps the paramount objective of the Iran war. wapo.st/4sKDj4h

@WhiteHouse Thinking this through in the first place would have been useful.

We’re still not allowed to acknowledge that “Russian interference in the 2016
presidential election”, just like “Trump-Russian collusion”, was a scam.
Accordingly, elevating Robert Mueller as a patrician savior figure who would bring Trump down turned out to be, among other things, a massive waste of political energy and an equally massive political gift to Trump:

In order to boost Hungarian far-right PM Viktor Orban in the polls before the parliamentary elections on 12th April, Russia proposed staging an assassination attempt. Unpaywalled Washington Post link: archive.ph/f8zdV
English
“I hope he wins and I hope he wins big,”
Trump released another video endorsing Hungary’s corrupt, autocratic leader, Viktor Orban, ahead of the April 12 election.
Orban is firmly anti-Ukraine, which is why Trump and Putin are working overtime to help him win.

President Trump says what everyone is thinking.
He’s right.
We shouldn’t be sad when bad people die.
