⚡🇪🇺🇩🇪 Alice Weidel issues a message to the far-left: “If you support this open-border policy, personally host the next Afghan migrants in your home—and let’s see how that’s compatible with your queer lifestyles.”

In 2015 an unnamed senior Iranian official met Henry Kissinger in New York and explained Iranian foreign policy vis a vis the United States with reference to Immanuel Kant's idea of perpetual peace at the endpoint of exhaustion from conflict:

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak said, “Can the Strait of Hormuz be opened? You need to deploy two American divisions there and prepare to stay for months. That’s how the start of the war in Vietnam looked, the start of the war in Iraq, and the same in Afghanistan. It succeeds at first. By the way, all wars, including this new chapter of ours, one must know: an initiated war starts with a brilliant achievement and impressive damage. Then comes the stage of treading water, which I believe we have entered. And if you don't know how to get out of it and cut it short in time, it ends in negotiations under conditions inferior to what existed before it all started, or in defeat. And America hasn't won a single war. It won almost every battle, but it hasn't won a single war in the last 60 years. All of this needs to be considered, and I very much hope I am wrong.”

Oil market trading like the Strait of Hormuz is going to open imminently because Trump TACOed his own deadline. This is so funny. Whatever the case, let’s just take advantage of this.

LAWMAKERS TO INTRODUCE BIPARTISAN BILL BANNING SPORTS BETS ON PREDICTION MARKETS SUCH AS POLYMARKET AND KALSHI: WSJ

Plenty of hysteria around Restore Britain's policy on banning the burqa. Misinformation is rife, and I want to officially correct the record. We'd ban the niqab too.

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

⚡🇨🇵 Marine Le Pen: “Those connected to Islamist Ideology must be stripped of their Nationality and expelled. Radical Mosques will be shut down…and the Muslim Brotherhood will be dissolved…” The West must wake up!

German political leader Alice Weidel: “They flood our countries with illegal migrants and force our own people to feed & house them, all while terrorism stalks our street, crime explodes, & Islamic extremism takes root.”

Oil prices are no longer the biggest threat to markets. It has become increasingly clear that bond markets will dictate just how long President Trump can continue increase pressure in the Iran War. The 10Y Note Yield is now up ~45 basis points since the war began on February 28th. This is in-line with the rapid surge seen around "Liberation Day" in April 2025. As the 10Y Note Yield surged above 4.50% in April 2025, President Trump began floating a potential tariff "pause." And, once the 10Y Yield broke above 4.60%, President Trump officially implemented a 90-day pause on his reciprocal tariffs on April 9th, 2025. With the 10Y Note Yield now up to 4.40%, we believe the 4.50% to 4.60% range will be the "line in the sand" again. The US economy cannot handle a 5% 10Y Note Yield.

What's your Darryn Peterson NBA comparison?

He is 61-26 in NCAA games and has been to 8 Final Fours. Please go away

Lindsey Graham is 70 years old and has zero children or grandchildren. Just loves war.

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot. "You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in." "That's the American way - except America has gotten soft." You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn. It starts with showing up and earning it every single day. No shortcuts...Just hard work. (🎥@CBBonFOX )

Tom Izzo will go down as one of the last, if not the last genuine program builder in D1 basketball. Guys stay, develop, and get rewarded. Complete opposite of what college athletics has become everywhere else.

Trump can TACO, burrito and chimichanga, but nothing will open Hormuz unless Iran wants it open. We can’t go home with Hormuz shut and missiles raining down on our friends. The only way out, is through Iran.. As scary as that sounds, I think we’re going to mobilize serious boots on the ground. That takes 6+ months. No one’s portfolio is positioned for half a year of this chaos…

Iran’s Kharg Island as seen **today** by the @CopernicusEU Sentinel-2 satellite. Iran is loading multiple tankers, exporting oil and making $$$ — now, with the help of the White House. The idea that Trump admin is using Iranian oil barrels against Iran is simply ridiculous.

Imagine thinking you were going to casually Maduro Iran but instead you collapse the global financial system and implode the petro dollar
