Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

Distinguished Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on war in Iran: “This is a war of naked aggression by two mentally unstable individuals… this is not a war where people debate what happened. It is very clearly understood that this is a war without any justification whatsoever.”

It’s 100 years since a competition decided the most beautiful set of currency designs of the 20th century Irelands ‘barnyard animals’ coinage was greatly admired 1926 is also the year we chose our national anthem - ‘The Soldiers song’ vied with ‘let Erin Remember’ up until then! #ireland

My 10-year-old daughter is nonverbal… but her art speaks louder than words. 🤍 She drew this all by herself. I see joy, freedom, and a beautiful soul. Would you encourage her to keep going? 🥹✨

Football legend Gary Lineker endorsed a call demanding that Israel be suspended from international football until it ends its grave violations of international law, particularly its apartheid rule, and the crime of genocide in Gaza.

10 reasons Israel is NOT a Jewish state: Jews worldwide don’t vote there. They don’t choose its leaders. They don’t live under its laws. No state can represent people without consent. Israel represents Israelis not Jews worldwide. Judaism is a faith, not a nationality. Jews existed for thousands of years without a state. Zionism is modern politics, not Judaism. Criticizing Israel is not antisemitism. Jews represent themselves. Stop confusing Judaism with Israel.

A psalm of David Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy kindness: According to the abundance of thy mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight: So that You are justified when You speak, And blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy kindness: According to the abundance of thy mercies, blot out my transgressions.

This is the most amazing thing you'll see today! 💯 Psalm 50 in Aramaic by Trio Mandili — the language of Jesus. Haunting Miserere (Psalm 51 in Western Bibles). Grab tissues 🙏🏼 Translation from Aramaic down in the comments.

Last Saturday, the price per megawatt-hour of electricity in Spain was €14, while in Italy, Germany, etc, consumers were paying over €100, that difference was not luck, but because we worked to be at the forefront of renewable energy. - Spanish PM Sánchez

@Rainmaker1973 This is Patricia Janečková, a Slovakian coloratura soprano. She died of cancer in 2023, a few months after she turned 25. 😌

The Song is considered to be one of the most difficult arias ever written for a soprano. And yet she makes it look so easy, and with such power. And she was only 17 years old when she performed it.

Cuba is not in a crisis because it is communist or has an authoritarian government, it’s having a catastrophic humanitarian crisis because the United States is carrying out an illegal siege against the island with the goal of starving and killing thousands for financial gain.

In another school, a mother asked to see the SPHE and Bí Cineálta materials being used with her daughter. The school agreed to send some SPHE books home — but refused to show any Bí Cineálta content. They said - to this mother - that these would not be shown to external parties. In one of this school’s policies, it states that there are guidelines for teaching LGBT content within the Bí Cineálta framework and now, this school is refusing to show what Bí Cineálta resources will actually be used. #BíCineálta #SPHE

🇪🇺 A major line has been crossed 🚨 🇵🇱 Poland’s PM Donald Tusk is the first EU leader to confirm that European Council discussions were directly leaked to Moscow via 🇭🇺 Orbán’s circle. This would mark an unprecedented breach within the EU: a Member State covertly working with an hostile foreign power to undermine European interests.
