Check out my video marching for science in NYC: awesome interviews, interesting info: youtu.be/nMSjWeW46Q0 #marchforscience

@Dr_TheHistories Thank you

"'Is everybody OK?' Those were the last words of a man who had just been shot in the head. Not a cry for help. Not a scream of pain. He asked about everyone else. Some men spend their whole lives trying to be heroes. Robert Kennedy was just being himself." It was just after midnight on June 5, 1968. Robert F. Kennedy had just won the California Democratic presidential primary, a victory that positioned him as the likely next president of the United States. The ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles was electric with hope. He had spoken of ending the war in Vietnam, of bridging racial divides, of a better America. When he finished, he was told there was a shorter route to the press conference—through the kitchen. He agreed, shaking hands with hotel staff as he walked. Then Sirhan Sirhan stepped out from a low tray-stacker and fired. Eight shots from a .22 caliber revolver. Three hit Kennedy. As he crumpled to the concrete floor, blood spreading across the linoleum, his first question wasn't about himself. Lying there, mortally wounded, he asked: "Is everybody OK?" Those around him would later say they couldn't believe it. In the moment of his own destruction, he was thinking of others. He died the next day at 42. The nation that had already lost one Kennedy brother now lost another. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated just two months earlier. 1968 was tearing America apart. RFK had been the figure who seemed capable of holding it together—a white politician who marched with Cesar Chavez, who cradled a dying child in his arms in the Mississippi Delta, who spoke of healing when others preached division. The photograph of him lying on that kitchen floor, a busboy named Juan Romero cradling his head, became one of the most haunting images of the 20th century. Romero, just 17, had been shaking Kennedy's hand moments before. He stayed with him until help arrived. He would carry the weight of that night for the rest of his life, visiting RFK's grave annually until his own death in 2018. Some men leave behind speeches. Others leave behind policies. Robert Kennedy left behind a question that still haunts us: 'Is everybody OK?' In a world that often forgets to ask, maybe that's the most important legacy of all... #drthehistories

@DavidJHarrisJr It provides for an eye for an eye. In Saudi Arabia a thief had his hand cut off. That would stop looting. But they also kill women for adultery

🚨Tucker Carlson in Saudi Arabia: “Sharia Law is better than the law in New York City.” Thoughts?

@RabbiPoupko @yadvashem This is Vital Hasson, the Jew, who placed the Jews of Salonica on the trains to Auschwitz

List of European countries/societies that gladly handed over their Jewish populations to be murdered by the Nazis: 🇫🇷 France 🇳🇱 Netherlands 🇧🇪 Belgium 🇳🇴 Norway 🇭🇺 Hungary 🇸🇰 Slovakia 🇭🇷 Croatia 🇷🇴 Romania 🇮🇹 Italy 🇺🇦 Ukraine Who else am I missing? Photo @yadvashem

@RabbiPoupko @yadvashem You forget to mention the Judenrats, the Council of Jews, and the Jewish Police, who gathered the Jews. The Jewish Police even threatened mothers that they would give their children to the Nazis if the women refused to have sex.

@DrewPavlou Sure, if you could have assassinated Hitler.

This is an absolutely disastrous moment for American liberalism because their top public intellectual just said they should embrace open communists who support mass killings and political terrorism. I compiled a video showing 65 times Hasan Piker endorsed political killings and terrorism: x.com/DrewPavlou/sta…

@DA_Stockman North Korea can have the bomb because it borders China and Russia. Pakistan and India can have the bomb because the United States is afraid of the losses it would suffer. Israel has killed 70,000 Palestinians. The United States killed 70,00 Japanese when it nuked Hiroshima

Apparently, you also agree with Ayatollah Sr., who said the same thing (no nuclear weapons) in a Fatwa in 2005, which was a binding order on the whole nation, and was observed by the Iranian military according to the repeated reports of the US intelligence community since then. So your boss (not the Donald) assassinated him so that Ayatollah Jr.---less a father, mother, wife and siblings---would replace Ayatollah Sr. and agree to what Ayatollah Jr. heard Ayatollah Sr.command 21 years ago. So, are we done now?

@DA_Stockman It is the United States that is waging economic war on the United States.

@NiohBerg Why do you not read some books about “the shah.” Unfortunately most people, who post about the benevolence of “the shah” have the equivalent reading comprehension of a 5th grader.

Everything happening today is downstream from Jimmy Carter backstabbing the Shah of Iran. Absolutely everything.

@Geniustechw In ‘68 I was 21

What's the first thought that pops in your head? 🤔

@RabbiShmuley You are a moron. The big aggression is the murder of 70,000 Palestinians and the murder of Iranians by the United States.

Pope Leo pontifex Refuses to Condemn Iran’s Slaughter of babies, women and gays. He’s reduced the Papacy to a Hallmark Greeting Card

@Arrogance_0024 No. They are fucked. The weapons systems failed

The Gulf monarchies paid trillions for US protection. Did they get it?

@DrewPavlou Probably ate the bodies

Islamist paramilitary forces in Algeria attacked the Catholic monastery of Tibhirine in 1996. The Islamist militants kidnapped seven monks and beheaded them all. Only their severed heads were ever recovered; their bodies were never found. The monks had lived in deliberate simplicity alongside the local Muslim Berber community for decades. The monastery was deeply embedded in the village: Brother Luc Dochier, the community’s physician, ran a rudimentary clinic that served thousands of impoverished local patients a year. Their prior Christian de Chergé wrote a last testament anticipating his own murder, addressed to his killers: He pre-emptively forgave his killer, referred to him as “friend of my final moment,” and expressed hope that they might meet as “happy thieves” in paradise together. ''If it should happen one day—and it could be today—that I become a victim of the terrorism which now seems ready to encompass all the foreigners living in Algeria, I would like my community, my Church, my family, to remember that my life was given to God and to this country. I ask them to accept that the One Master of all life was not a stranger to this brutal departure. I ask them to pray for me: for how could I be found worthy of such an offering? I ask them to be able to associate such a death with the many other deaths that were just as violent, but forgotten through indifference and anonymity. My life has no more value than any other. Nor any less value. In any case, it has not the innocence of childhood. I have lived long enough to know that I share in the evil which seems, alas, to prevail in the world, even in that which would strike me blindly. I should like, when the time comes, to have a clear space which would allow me to beg forgiveness of God and of all my fellow human beings, and at the same time to forgive with all my heart the one who would strike me down. I could not desire such a death. It seems to me important to state this. I do not see, in fact, how I could rejoice if this people I love were to be accused indiscriminately of my murder. It would be to pay too dearly for what will, perhaps, be called “the grace of martyrdom,” to owe it to an Algerian, whoever he may be, especially if he says he is acting in fidelity to what he believes to be Islam. I know the scorn with which Algerians as a whole can be regarded. I know also the caricature of Islam which a certain kind of Islamism encourages. It is too easy to give oneself a good conscience by identifying this religious way with the fundamentalist ideologies of the extremists. For me, Algeria and Islam are something different; they are a body and a soul. I have proclaimed this often enough, I believe, in the sure knowledge of what I have received in Algeria, in the respect of believing Muslims—finding there so often that true strand of the Gospel I learned at my mother’s knee, my very first Church. My death, clearly, will appear to justify those who hastily judged me naive or idealistic: “Let him tell us now what he thinks of it!” But these people must realize that my most avid curiosity will then be satisfied. This is what I shall be able to do, if God wills—immerse my gaze in that of the Father, to contemplate with him his children of Islam just as he sees them, all shining with the glory of Christ, the fruit of his Passion, filled with the Gift of the Spirit, whose secret joy will always be to establish communion and to refashion the likeness, delighting in the differences. For this life given up, totally mine and totally theirs, I thank God who seems to have wished it entirely for the sake of that joy in everything and in spite of everything. In this “thank you,” which is said for everything in my life from now on, I certainly include you, friends of yesterday and today, and you my friends of this place, along with my mother and father, my brothers and sisters and their families—the hundredfold granted as was promised! And you also, the friend of my final moment, who would not be aware of what you were doing. Yes, for you also I wish this “thank you”—and this adieu—to commend you to the God whose face I see in yours. And may we find each other, happy “good thieves,” in Paradise, if it pleases God, the Father of us both. Amen.''

@histories_arch @archeohistories Not unusual. The Reverend Al Sharpton called Zohran Mamdani an anti-Semite because landlords threatened to expose his sex life and his predilection for well-hung …. Nothing beats being a rat

Born into slavery around 1790 on a plantation near Winnsboro, South Carolina, William Ellison began life as "April," a name reflecting the month of his birth, a common practice among slaveholders. At age 10, his master apprenticed him to a cotton gin maker, giving him a skilled trade that would define his future. After completing his apprenticeship, Ellison saved enough money from his allowed earnings to purchase his own freedom in 1816 at age 26. He then relocated to Sumter County and established himself as a cotton gin maker, steadily growing his business and acquiring land. Over the following decades, Ellison built one of the most remarkable fortunes in antebellum South Carolina, eventually owning more than 1,000 acres and up to 171 enslaved people, making him one of the wealthiest property owners in the state regardless of race. He and his sons were the only free Black slaveholders in Sumter County from 1830 to 1865. During the Civil War, Ellison and his family threw their support behind the Confederacy, donating money, buying Confederate bonds, and offering slave labor to the Confederate Army. His grandson even served in the Confederate infantry. Ellison's story forced a reckoning with the deeply complicated nature of race, freedom, and power in the antebellum South. His life illustrates that the institution of slavery was not a simple binary of white oppressor and Black victim, but a system that some free people of color navigated and even exploited for personal gain. His decision to own enslaved people and support the Confederacy raises difficult questions about moral agency within oppressive systems. Historians continue to debate whether Ellison's choices represented pragmatic survival strategies or willing participation in one of history's greatest atrocities. His story remains one of the most unsettling and thought-provoking chapters in American history. #archaeohistories

@RabbiShmuley Maybe he knows that you are a moron

As I exited a plane, this Jew-hater attacked me publicly at Newark airport. He’s British. How did he get into the USA and why aren’t we monitoring Jew-haters who enter our country?

@BladeoftheS Yes, most assuredly

US Congressman Thomas Massie “We should end all US military aid to Israel.” HELL YEAH!

@FurkanGozukara Trump’s economic Professor at Wharton said that Trump was the god damned dumbest student that he had. Failed Statistics SAT Score: 970 Graduated 364th out of a class of 366 at Wharton

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs brilliantly dismantles the Trump administration. He confirms Washington is entirely run by corrupt, incompetent amateurs who bought their positions. He exposes Donald Trump as completely illiterate on economics, dragging the world into disastrous conflicts.

@DA_Stockman I apologize for another posting. But in NYC a minimum of 25% of the cost of Medicaid is due to fraud.

Orange Jesus,The Dual SOH Blockade And The Stagflation Ahead (open.substack.com/pub/davidstock...) .......the Federal outlays level is about to explode owing to the Donald’s insane war on the Persian Gulf, which isn’t in a real sustainable “truce” by any way, shape or pause. This is just a “pause” that will soon break wide open again because there is no way to square the circle as between the Bibi/neocon quest to obliterate Iran as a functioning state and the latter’s evident unwillingness to submit to a suicidal surrender. Still, when you examine the revenue side of the March YTD budget figures, the footprint of impending recession is unmistakable. To wit, the fiscal YTD collection from withheld income taxes as of March 2026 amounted to $1.087 trillion. By contrast, the inflation-adjusted figure for March 2025 YTD was $1.088 trillion. That’s right. In constant dollars, there has been zero gain in withheld payroll taxes, meaning the US economy is already treading water. And even when you look at withheld social security and related payroll taxes, the story is essentially the same–with constant dollar revenue collection up just 1.7% on a Y/Y basis for March YTD. As we have frequently noted, the green eye-shades at the BLS have a seemingly inexhaustible tool kit of methods to fiddle with the reported “jobs” numbers, but one thing is sure: None of America’s 155 million taxpaying employers are about to send in tax payments to Uncle Sam for phantom employees—just to make the joker in the White House look good at any given point in time. So here in inflation-adjusted dollars is what employers have done during the first six months of the fiscal year on a Y/Y basis. A gain of total payroll tax collections of just 0.7%, therefore, does indeed depict an economy on the slippery slope toward recession. March YTD Withheld Income and Social Security Taxes In Constant FY 2026 Dollars: March YTD 2025: $1.931 trillion. March YTD 2026: $1.944 trillion. Y/Y increase: +0.7% In this case, the honest numbers from the IRS tax collectors actually pretty much track what the BLS has been reporting in its monthly “Jobs” reports. For instance, between December 2024 and March 2025, the total count of nonfarm jobs rose form 158.316 million to 158.637 million. That’s a gain of just 21,000 jobs per month, when the working age population grew by roughly 225,000 per month during the same period. Of course, we don’t think the arbitrary dates of a presidential term have much to do with the cycles of economic rise and fall or the trend rate of jobs growth. But, still, the anemic gains during the Donald’s 15 months to date stand in sharp contrast to the alleged “disaster” of Sleepy Joe’s term, where monthly nonfarm job growth averaged 329,000 job gains per month. That’s right. On a pure paint-by-the-numbers basis, Joe Biden’s jobs growth rate clocked in at 16X the rate on the Donald’s watch since December 2024. So, the Donald has not yet delivered the Golden Age of prosperity to be sure, but there is something even more crucial in the numbers: Namely, that nonfarm job gains of just 21,000 per month in a macroeconomic setting where the working age population (18-70 years) is growing by 225,000 per month is indicative of an economy lapsing into recessionary contraction. And yet, that’s actually not the half of it. Since December 2024, total nonfarm employment has grown by just +321,000 jobs. Yet during the same 15- month period, employment in the government financed private education, health and social services sector has risen by +856,000! On the math, therefore, there has actually been a 535,000 net loss of nonfarm jobs out side of the education, health care and social services sector. That hardly smacks of a golden era of prosperity. Not when you start with the age old GOP principle that prosperity stems form investment, productivity and output in the true private sector. To that end, the graph below strips out both the government sector (local, state, Federal and post office) and the primarily government-financed education, health care and social services sector from the nonfarm payroll total. The graph leaves nothing to the imagination. When the “socialistic” Dems were in power during the 48 months between December 2020 and December 2024, the true private sector jobs count rose by+229,000 per month. Alas, during the Donald first 15 months the second time around the barn, the true private sector jobs count has contracted by -21,000 per month. That’s right. Employment levels in the true private sector have been shrinking for more than a year—all of the MAGA chest-beating to the contrary notwithstanding. Yet the real shellacking from the economic whirlwind spreading outward from the Persian Gulf—-now intensified by the blockade of the blockade—is still months from making landfall in the government’s inherently lagging monthly economic numbers. Moreover, the graph below is a reminder of an even broader point: Namely, that the whole MAGA spiel about the fulsome virtues of Trump-O-Nomics is just groundless bull shit. Under the King of Debt, fiscal spending and borrowing were already out of control as of February 27th. And now with a full on war in the Persian Gulf that the Donald has no clue about how to end, the budget will soon be exploding in red ink at a $3-4 trillion or higher annual rate. After all, incremental war spending is already running at $700 billion annual rate; about $4 trillion of government spending driven by COLAs and inflationary services procurement (e.g. Medicare/Medicaid) is also set to get an inflation shock for next year’s spending adjustments; and the recessionary subtraction from revenues is just around the corner.

@DA_Stockman I loved your presentation… but you must realize that 80% of the population will not understand it.

@DA_Stockman Would you please write an explanation of how defense costs will skyrocket because the United States will be selling fewer weapons. Ergo, the average cost per unit for manufacturing and research and development will increase dramatically. I loved your presentation.

@nettermike And no one will forget. And when the day comes, countries will not purchase oil from the US. And with oil and gas prices going up, Trump destroys the middle class.

Can we just take a second here and admit something that the regime media and the foreign policy geniuses in Washington will never say out loud? President Trump just dropped the hammer on Iran—and it’s not just tough, it’s brilliant. Absolute chess move. After Tehran laughed in our face and refused to play ball on the terms we laid out—no more nuclear games, no more shaking down the world for passage through the Strait of Hormuz—Trump didn’t blink. He announced a full naval blockade of the Persian Gulf. No ships in, no ships out. And here’s the part that should have every oil trader and every globalist suit sweating through their overpriced suits: he’s redirecting those tankers straight to the Gulf of America. Buy American oil. Pay in U.S. dollars. End of story. Why is this genius? Let me break it down like the simple truth it is. First, it ends the extortion racket without sending a single American boot into another Middle Eastern quagmire. Iran thought they could turn the world’s most important oil choke point into their personal toll booth. Wrong. Trump just flipped the script: you don’t control the flow anymore. We do. The same Navy that’s been babysitting the planet for decades is now finally working for us. No more free security for countries that hate us while they get rich off our protection. Second, it supercharges American energy dominance. We’re sitting on more oil and gas than anyone else on Earth. Block the Gulf, prices spike everywhere else, and suddenly every country that needs crude—Europe, Asia, whoever—has one logical place to go: right here. Gulf of America terminals firing on all cylinders. American workers. American profits. American dollars. The petrodollar doesn’t just survive; it gets a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart. While the rest of the world scrambles, we’re printing money and telling our enemies to pound sand. Third, it exposes the whole rotten global order for what it is. For years, we’ve been told we have to play nice, subsidize everyone else’s defense, and let hostile regimes dictate energy prices. Trump just said: no thanks. This isn’t “escalation.” It’s accountability. Iran wanted to play pirate in international waters? Fine. Now they get to watch their economy choke while American energy booms. China and India want cheap oil? Better start buying it from the country that actually produces it instead of funding the mullahs who hate us. The usual suspects are already screaming about “warmongering” and “oil prices” and how this is all so very complicated. Spare me. The complicated part was pretending America wasn’t the strongest kid on the block. Trump just reminded everyone—especially our adversaries—that we don’t have to beg or bribe or negotiate from weakness. We set the terms now. This is what America First actually looks like when it’s executed by someone who means it. No forever wars. No blank checks. Just raw, unapologetic leverage that puts American workers, American energy, and American strength first. And the best part? The Iranians are the ones who forced his hand. They chose this. Trump just made them regret it. God bless the guy. In a town full of people who couldn’t negotiate their way out of a wet paper bag, he just reminded the world who runs the table.
