@_debramessing Happy Pesach!

Today is the anniversary of my mom’s passing. It always feels like there is a hole in my heart, and the sadness is familiar. Today is also Passover. It has always been my family’s favorite holiday. It is a celebration of the Jews’ escape from slavery in Egypt, and the long exodus back home to Jerusalem. It is a holiday that celebrates freedom over oppression & persecution. It is a celebration of the decolonization of our ancestral homeland after years in exile, but never without hope and faith. We gather not only to commemorate this particular event, but every single time over 3000 years that we have been banished, persecuted, murdered, burned alive, by people who refused to acknowledge our humanity and peoplehood, who blamed us for every ill in the world—- and, each time, with resilience and light, we survived. And moving forward, thrived. This has happened continually, through every human advancement, the ancient hate and attempted erasure of our People. That is why every Passover Seder ends with the final words of the Hagaddah prayer book, with us reading —“Next year in Jerusalem.” Because for 3000 years we never stopped fighting to return home to Jerusalem. Whether we were enslaved in Egypt, or as a non citizen dimmi facing yet another pogrum. Today is particularly painful. To see history repeating itself, the demonization, the dehumanization, the thirst for Jewish blood. May we all pray for all the innocent civilians in this horrendous war. May this year see the Iranian people freed from their decades long struggle against oppression, torture, murder, stripping of human rights for all women and people not afraid to love who they love. Even in the face of death. May the US soldiers be kept safe as they bravely fight alongside the IDF to finally bring peace to the entire Middle East. Like Pharoah, may the IRGC, become just a footnote in history. What a celebration that will be. BH. Happy Passover from Elsie and me. She is helping me make my mother’s Charoset. And yes, it is the best in the world. All my love, D

UBS called Miami the number one housing bubble risk in the world. Same report: “a sharp correction appears unlikely at this stage.” 42.8% of Miami-Dade closings in February were cash. Howard Schultz paid $44M in Surfside the same week. The headline and the data are telling different stories. Link to newsletter in the comments.

@mdubowitz @Sam_Schulman Why include Poland, they refused the US request to transfer/let us borrow one patriot anti-missile battery to place in Turkey?

Five Eyes was built for another era. We get diminishing value from four partners, and ties with Britain are at a low point. Time to rethink the alliance around those actually delivering intelligence value — Israel, Poland, Ukraine, UAE, Japan, ROK and other serious partners.

@johnondrasik @megynkelly @RealCandaceO April Fools!

I’m told @megynkelly will be apologizing today for her support of radical antisemite @RealCandaceO. Nice to see her salvaging her reputation and moving back toward the clear thinker we all appreciated for decades. ❤️🇺🇸

@K_AminThaabet @AceofSpadesHQ The best yellowcake comes from Niger.

Not only will Iranians die of thirst because of the destruction of the heavy water plant, they will die of hunger from the destruction of yellowcake

@johnkonrad More generals than tanks.

“Canada can not, and will not be part of the bloodbath in Iran” Don’t worry babe, you don’t have a single warship that could make it to kharg island without sinking. Not one.

@TheStingisBack Not a bad movie, it’s good for a Sunday afternoon when there’s no football.

Cocktail (1988) won a Razzie for Worst Film of the Year, and I demand a recount. It shaped bar culture. It looks gorgeous, you get Elisabeth Shue AND Gina Gershon, an ultra-charismatic Bryan Brown, and Tom Cruise doing Tom Cruise-type things. That bad? Or do we love it a little?

@Jkylebass I hate to see Xi would do when his kids brought back a poor test result or grades.

After U.S. forces turned China’s most advanced anti-stealth radar—the JY-27A—into little more than lawn art, Xi reportedly ordered the execution of its chief designer, Yang Wei. Engineering with Chinese characteristics…

Sunday morning ritual. The kids today will never understand

Yeah, we will keep dominating the world with our strategic allies regardless of what you leared about geopolitics from Joe Rogan talking to a comedian for three hours…

@DefiantLs Who is she?

Actress Eileen Davidson: I’ve been “really scared” living under Trump presidency and calls everyone to join a “No Kings” march She definitely wasn’t paid and told to say this like all the other “celebrities”

@DanBurmawy Hence what Hamass unleashed on October 7.

If we’re forced to choose between Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims in today’s geopolitical landscape, then as a former Sunni, I can tell you, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second: I would choose the Shia every single time. Hezbollah has devastated Lebanon for over 30 years. They’ve hijacked the country’s sovereignty, dragged it into needless wars with Israel, dealt drugs across continents, and trained militias from Syria to Yemen. Iran’s regime has exported chaos to the entire region. I am not here to sanitize the destruction caused by Shia Islam. But there is no comparison, none, between Sunni jihad and Shia jihad when it comes to the barbarity, monstrosity, and nihilism at their core. Shia wilāya is a political-theological project rooted in eschatological hope, the belief in a coming world of justice, peace, and divine order under the awaited Mahdi. This doesn’t make their actions justifiable, but it does mean their violence is directed, however twistedly, against what they interpret as tyrannical regimes or ideological threats. When they target civilians, it’s typically selective, an assassination of a perceived enemy of the movement, not wholesale slaughter for religious cleansing. This vision stems from their Muʿtazila-influenced theology, which still gives weight to human reason and moral evaluation alongside the sacred text. Sunni jihad, by contrast, is a black hole. It recognizes no moral hierarchy, no ethical filter, no gradation of violence. There is no distinction between soldier and child, between combatant and teacher, between state and street. Any non-Muslim, or even any “wrong” kind of Muslim, is a legitimate target. Bombing a wedding, beheading an aid worker, enslaving Yazidi girls, torching churches, shooting up schools, this is not collateral damage. It is the goal. Sunni Islam’s dominant theological school, Ashʿarism, rejects reason as a tool for understanding good and evil. Morality, in this view, is whatever Allah commands, even if it contradicts logic, conscience, or compassion. If the Qur’an says to kill the unbeliever, then killing is not just allowed, it is good. Period. This is why Sunni jihadis can burn people alive, blow up their own children, or massacre entire villages, because they believe Allah said so, and that’s the end of the story. Shia Islam, for all its flaws, is still institutional, hierarchical, and clerically mediated. You don’t see Shia suicide bombers popping up in random countries every week because violence is still (relatively) controlled from above. But Sunni jihad is chaotic, decentralized, and viral. Sunni theology is deontological, Shia theology is teleological. Sunni terrorism is a Frankenstein of Wahhabism, Deobandism, Salafism, and Muslim Brotherhood ideology that teaches followers to reject all modernity, all compromise, and all mercy.

@mikemoviez Great movie. I just rewatched it for the first time since I saw it when it came out. I definitely appreciate the movie much more now than I did when I watched it the first time.

I just finished my first ever viewing of James Mangold's COP LAND [1997]. I was beyond pleasantly surprised with this one, I think it's excellent. The cast is unbelievably stacked, I saw about twenty recognizable supporting-type actors. Great performances top to bottom. Liotta is fantastic, Robert Patrick is great, Keitel is menacing, DeNiro is DeNiro. Stallone gives what is probably the most nuanced performance I've seen from him. I'm glad I finally crossed this one off the list. Superb.

@guychristensen_ @TeamYouTube Maybe the Cuban government can loan you some money.

.@TeamYouTube just stole my rent money and labeled me a promoter of terrorism. AGAIN Massive pressure forced them to restore my channel in February when they deleted me in an act of political targeting. I advocate for human rights. Don’t lose my voice: yourfavoriteguy.com/subscribe
