@adamemedia1 Good post for this one. A little daily Twain is a good thing.

Massie: I’m walking to an airplane to rejoin the most expensive congressional race in U.S. history. It’s turned into a referendum on whether Israel gets to buy seats in Congress. And what they found out is that my seat is really expensive. By the time this is over, they will probably have spent $20 million and come up short. I’ve never seen Great Britain, Australia, or even Germany play in our elections here in the United States. But Israel gets so much from the United States. It’s a one-sided relationship. They get us to be their proxies in wars they want against their enemies. They get our military assistance. They get our technology. They get our bombs. They get our tax dollars. And I think it’s a very one-sided relationship. At least with NATO, we pretend that they would come to our aid someday if we needed it—and even that’s a ruse.

The media spent 2.5 years telling you this is “targeting Hamas.”

⭕️ Iran Is Watching the U.S. Bond Market Melt and Making Sure Americans Know Why Iran’s Foreign Minister and Parliamentary Speaker are directly messaging American officials and the public, highlighting the surge in U.S. Treasury yields as the direct economic cost of what they call a “war of choice” on Iran — and offering Tehran’s 14-point peace proposal as the way out. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who heads Iran’s nuclear negotiating team, opened the campaign four days ago, warning that “the longer they drag their feet, the more American taxpayers will pay for it,” and yesterday posted the FT headline announcing the U.S. had sold 30-year bonds at 5% yield for the first time since 2007. “You know what’s crazier than $39 trillion in debt?” he wrote. “Paying a pre-GFC premium to fund a LARP” — LARP, or Live Action Role Play, used here to mock the war as an elaborate performance with no strategic logic — “and all you’ll get is a brand new GFC,” a reference to a potential global financial crisis on the scale of 2008. This morning, Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi followed up with live U.S. yield data as Treasury markets sold off sharply, warning that “real pain begins when U.S. debt and mortgage rates start to jump,” and noting that auto loan delinquencies are already at a 30-year high. “This was all avoidable,” he wrote. The bond selloff Araghchi was referencing is significant. The 30-year Treasury — which settled today after the U.S. auctioned $25 billion in bonds Wednesday at 5% yield for the first time since 2007 — surged another 11 basis points to 5.13% Friday, approaching levels not seen since the pre-financial crisis era. The 10-year benchmark jumped 14 basis points to 4.59%, its highest in a year. The moves were driven by a week of hot inflation data — wholesale prices rising at their fastest pace since 2022, consumer prices at their highest since 2023 — both linked to the energy shock caused by the Hormuz blockade, alongside uncertainty over the policy direction of newly confirmed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Markets have now fully priced out any Fed rate cut this year. The posts come as U.S. and Iranian officials are in a standoff in talks, with Tehran insisting any deal must recognize the rights laid out in its 14-point proposal.

@Tripple____M That front 4 for sure! Giroud - Gyok Alexis - Trossard Ozil - Eze/Odegaard Santi - Zubi.

How many would start for our current side?

So the title race would’ve been done and dusted and Arsenal would’ve won the title comfortably if City hadn’t benefited from a wrong decision, absolutely scandalous. Basically, PGMOL manufactured a title race that shouldn’t have existed. Funny how the entire football world stays quiet about that, yet they’re quick to scream when Arsenal got a correct decision their way against Westham.

@MaxBlumenthal So, this means Iran is not a threat to the US at all. He attacks Iran simply because of Israel and the UAE.

Trump explains why the US has attacked Iran without provocation, sending the global economy into crisis: "We're doing it to help Israel" and the Gulf dictatorships

If you say the US has no interest in continuing war in Iran, and Trump is only doing it to serve Israel and the Gulf State tyrannies he loves and that enrich his family, you'll be called an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist. But then Trump just comes out and says it himself:

Arsène Wenger: “I had a meeting with the players before the next season, 2004. They said, ‘You put us under too much pressure because you said we can do a whole season unbeaten.’ I said, ‘It’s just because I believe we can do it’, and we did it!” 🏆

🇵🇸 NAKBA DAY | Palestinians across historic Palestine and around the world on Friday marked the 78th anniversary of the Nakba. Arabic for “catastrophe,” Nakba refers to the mass expulsion of some 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in 1948 by Zionist militias. Over 500 Palestinian villages in what became Israel were destroyed. New figures released this week by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics show that the global Palestinian population has reached 15.5 million. Some 7.4 million live in historical Palestine, while 8.1 million live in the diaspora, including 6.8 million in Arab countries. Palestinians have long described the Nakba not as a single event but as an ongoing and continuous process of dispossession, apartheid, and violence. In the Gaza Strip, the death toll from the Israeli genocide has topped 72,700 with thousands more missing under the rubble. Nearly the entire population of Gaza has been displaced since October 2023, many of them multiple times, and are living crammed into less than half of the enclave with Israel controlling over 60% of the territory. In the occupied West Bank, over that same time period, more than 40,000 Palestinians have been displaced and over 1,000 killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers.

Tim Howard: “You will not hear from somebody more qualified on this than me. David Raya was fouled. Would I have liked Raya to be stronger? Yes. Is it a foul? 1000 percent. It’s NOT a conspiracy, VAR got it right.” ✅👏 🎥 @UnfilteredSoccr

We’ve all come across street preachers, but this man is a straight-up street philosopher 😂

@mrtnnwu @nonewthing Fair criticism on the framing of the graphic. Welfare and pensions can absolutely reduce poverty and help stability, but long term you still need enough productive growth, businesses and workers supporting the system for it to remain sustainable.

@samwadz_ @nonewthing Dude just admit that the post you sent was twisting facts dramatically to piss people off.

You are assuming that 1. The government knows what the less privileged needs to become successful. 2. The government will actually provide what the less privileged need to become successful. 3. That that money is not better used by entrepreneurs to create new ventures, new jobs and new possibilities. You are also not considering 1. Scale. You need surplus or excess to pursue innovation before it is profitable. 2. The Laffer Curve. Taxes are a disincentive on working hard and productivity. 3. Authoritarianism. More taxes = more government power over the individual = more room for abuse. 4. Welfarism. If the government has too much, it can buy legitimacy and votes through handouts. 5. Money is better utilized by individuals with skin in the game than by government officials who are not accountable and have no need to be efficient.

@mrtnnwu @nonewthing I’m not saying stop paying pensions. I’m saying the direction of travel matters. More people retiring, rising welfare obligations, slower growth and fewer workers supporting a bigger system isn’t exactly a recipe for things getting easier…

@samwadz_ @nonewthing A quick search shows your ig post is misleading and designed for clicks… who would’ve thought. Over half of that 300+ figure goes to pensions (Office for Budget Responsibility). Unless you’d like the government to stop paying those too.

@mrtnnwu @nonewthing Search for it on your trusted source but it’s still true…

@samwadz_ @nonewthing Instagram as your source is an interesting choice, friend

Reporter: "To what extent are Americans' financial situations motivating you to make a deal?" President Trump: "Not even a little bit…I don't think about Americans' financial situations."

Paul Scholes on THAT VAR call: “It’s a foul. There’s two fouls, he’s got his hand on top of Raya & there’s someone behind pulling his arm. People are moaning Arsenal have done it all year, but they haven’t. They’ve done it legally.” 🗣️ 🎥 @goodbadftblpod
