Goldman Sachs predicts that the S&P 500 will see an annualized return of just 3% over the next decade, significantly lower than the 13% annualized return we’ve enjoyed over the past decade…A few thoughts... wealthprofessional.ca/investments/et….

@sarahadams @JimHansonDC @ReaganBattalion I love that you are out to shut this rhetoric down.

@JimHansonDC @ReaganBattalion The fatwa was issued as part of a deception campaign. We can’t take its public-facing message at face value; we have to understand why it was issued in the first place, which was to conceal the intent to enrich for a weapon. That nuance is missed in his explanation.

Joe Kent: "There was a religious ruling, a fatwa, against developing a nuclear weapon" True & completely irrelevant He doesn't believe for a second the Ayatollahs actually forbade development of a nuke It's just a way for them to claim they aren't

Who remembers watching this game

“I had Claude build this model for me. See, it’s way better than anything we were building at GS”

@ModeratelyMoco what do you think MCPS’s electric bill is per mile on ours?

@Saul_Sadka It’s a real shame Biden gave up Bagram AFB in ‘21. SMH

The regime's top brass seems to have decamped to the distant city of Mashhad, as far away from the US bases and carriers—and from Israel—as you can get without actually fleeing to Afghanistan. They have abandoned the capital.

Can we all agree it’s phenomenal to see an almost 40 year old still kicking ass.

@runews What is this, a boat for Ants?

Iran: look what we got USA: location?

Has anyone bombed Iraq? Haven’t seen them in a single headline.

@johnrossartist GB’s are for sure rolling in with the Kurds. 🫡

@BostonSatire For sure going to have a high walkability score.

Opinion | Tehran has a chance to do something few countries can. Build a transit-oriented, walkable city from the ground up

@MarioNawfal They were also screwed over by the Syrian deal. So maybe this was the promise that they could go carve out some land in Persia.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇶Trump called Kurdish leaders in Iraq on Sunday to talk about the war with Iran and what might come next. The Kurds have thousands of soldiers right on the Iran-Iraq border, and they control strategic areas that could matter a lot as this thing develops. They also have close ties to the Kurdish minority inside Iran, so Trump clearly sees them as key players right now. Source: Axios

@ComicDaveSmith @AnaKasparian Valid take in 2004, but not in 2026. I bet the internal polling of the regime was way higher than the 20% that supports it now in Iran. Go back to comedy.

George W Bush had the wisdom to decide NOT to do this. Let that sink in.

The feeling of beating cancer.

@AlexiLalas if things go well, they might even get a women's team too!

Current Iranian leadership (as it is) could certainly pull Iran out of the World Cup. But hopefully Iran participates this summer, and the team is embraced as a representation of positive change and a brighter future for the country.

@WarClandestine What no one is discussing is why China sits idly by as we take massive resources away from them. All of this is to weaken their position and they’re just taking it like the paper tiger that they are.

China and Russia stood down. I believe Xi and Putin had to be somewhat in the loop on the situation via back channels. Trump must have secured complete assurances that there would be no interference or escalation, prior to any action. Trump just had a “very positive” phone call with Xi on February 4th, in which they did discuss global military conflicts, including Iran, as well as trade/economic cooperation, and Trump confirmed he will be visiting China from March 31-April 2. I think a backdoor agreement has already been made, and both Xi and Putin agreed Khamenei and the radical Islamic regime must go. There’s no other way this could have been pulled off. It would have been too substantial a risk to both national and global security for Trump to do this blindly. Trump has the board secure.

@SenatorRicketts I don’t think it can be understated how incredible this video is. Our national anthem being played in Berlin, by the Persians expats. 🤯🤯

A friend of mine in Berlin sent me this. Across the world, Iranians are celebrating today's decisive action taken by President Trump.

The leaders in Cuba might as well just pack up and move to Brazil now.
