@deuxglass1 @TheMichaelEvery Good eye We see no sign the Admin is in a hurry to open the Straight That's cause they have ultimate (financial) targets far afield of Iran

@TheMichaelEvery I have the feeling that this is the cat playing with the mouse and the mouse is Iran. Every time the mouse tries to escape the cat cuts off its path and oil goes back down.

Every time an Iran deal is close, it moves away again. I’d described this crisis as a polytropos Odyssey, but it also matches Zeno’s Achilles & the 🐢 paradox - ever closer but never reached. If so, markets pricing oil lower is… ZENOHEDGE. (Sorry, the pun was irresistible!)

@MondoARG @TheMichaelEvery @zerohedge I sense that you might be missing a layer or two A realpolitic review rendered by @TheMichaelEvery could round out a worldview Or just ignore that stuff

@TheMichaelEvery @zerohedge Bro, don't over think it.

@wretchardthecat It is always best to allow a smoothed path to surrender. It may not help at the moment, but further internal IR restructure may open that path.

It's almost as if the USN is actually wiping the floor with the Iranian navy but doesn't want to rub it in to allow the IR to save face.

👉🏻🇲🇽Ya siente pasos en la azotea. Visiblemente molesta y nerviosa, Claudia Sheinbaum lanza una frase que lo dice todo: “primero vendrán por unos, después por otros. Ya no es cooperación, es injerencia”. Este acto luce como un intento desesperado por imponer una narrativa contra Estados Unidos y empezar a amarrarse el dedo ante cualquier posible detención y/o acusación contra peces gordos del narcorégimen Cuando un gobierno se victimiza antes de tiempo, es válido preguntarse qué sabe o qué teme.

For five years RU hasn't gone after the EU proper. Restraint that will evaporate. A clear way to resolve a stalemate is expansion of the conflict. EU not allowing closure, insisting on further hostility. May they not get what they wish for good and hard.

"The Russian drone that hit a Romanian apartment building on Friday morning, wounding two people in NATO territory, may have been an accident. But it has only added to the wariness Europeans feel as the Ukraine war drags through its fifth year." Shockingly, soft power didn't stop the drone. nytimes.com/2026/05/30/wor…

@proteinwisdom Ann has induced cringe for years Nothing bad about being acerbic One of your specialties, in fact I've not settled on whether Ann is more Grifter or more Op. I see little Ann lately I suspect she has self-marginalized

Oh, lookit! This sleight hoary Chris Christie, Mitt Romney mega-booster is going groyper, to absolutely no one’s surprise! Ann was once a border hawk. But hating on Jews is more topical and more profitable these days, so she’s throwing her tiny weight behind an open borders lolbertarian so she can get in on some of that tasty scapegoating. Note: the American Jewish money spent to defeat Massie was spent in defense of America’s borders. American Jews helped defeat an open borders dickhead being ostentatiously supported by Islamists and commies. That’s who Useful Idiots are simping for. Cope, Jewspergers.

@Vandiemans_Lad @mistressdivy I'd forgotten.

@mistressdivy Why did his son take out an ad to assanate Trump.

🚨 BILL GURLEY: “I would encourage people to read as much as they can about Anthropic … I don't think they think they're writing software. I think they're midwifing a deity.” JASON: “I know some of these folks … They believe they're so powerful, that they can create God.”

@bereaguilarv @brozoxmiswebs Ay que diversión!

Esto de @brozoxmiswebs no es solo una parodia; es una sátira política brutal. Se pone en los zapatos de Sheinbaum para presumir sus dizque “logros” mientras exhibe lo que el narcorégimen quisiera esconder: los narcopolíticos, los escándalos y los corruptos de Morena. ¡Órale!

@WilsonPreet @AnaEscobarShow @grok It's nice you asked.

@AnaEscobarShow @grok verify

Did you guys know the jewish club at Yale, Shabtai Society is where JD Vance met his wife Usha? It’s the one where the goy serve dinner to members The founder is the guy who took Jeffrey Epstein to Israel 😭

@lou_twin @ZombieSlay26 @AnaEscobarShow Sorry Your facts are wholly irrelevant Discarded, as it does not fit the narrative The lie, however, accepted of course Debate wins nothing

Grok: 👇 JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance (née Chilukuri), met as students at Yale Law School. They first connected around 2013 (some accounts note related activities as early as 2010–2011 in overlapping Yale circles) through a discussion group they co-organized or joined on “social decline in white America.” This topic later influenced Vance’s bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy. Key details of their meeting and early relationship: • They started as friends and took many classes together. Usha later noted in a 2017 NBC interview that she was impressed by JD’s diligence when they were assigned to work on a legal brief together.

@BowTiedGSV @TMTLongShort @balajis No. Asset bubbles are cyclical and natural, driven by human psychology. Normally beneficial, flooding money into innovation. But not real estate, where money is sloshing now. That, is a Non Productive asset, and those crashes are horrible. Sorry.

@TMTLongShort @balajis Theres so much money sloshing around all over the place, its kind of this weird thing that even if this goes "well", will any lessons be learned?

@balajis believes that Canada has already effectively surrendered to the Chinese. He believes Europe will fast follow as Carney is looked up to as the smartest politician on the left. When Trump crushes Canada into the USMCA renegotiation and Xi does nothing to throw Carney a lifeline out of fear I hope Balaji reconsiders his blackpill posture. Yes you should look at the world clinically and without emotion. But you should also realize the system is reflexive and after decades of retarded politicians there is an incentive for non-retards like Bessent to step up and fix things before the homeland is lost. I hope one day soon Miami will be a more compelling outpost than Singapore 🫡

@AlexDelarge73 @TMTLongShort @balajis Canada is likely to reverse course right about now. Existential and finally imminent threat of sharp reduction of us imports should suffice. Carney is playing a long game. His hourglass runs out faster than thought.

@TMTLongShort @balajis USMCA will be dissolved 1 trade Bill for USA / Mex 1 trade Bill for USA / Can Canada, sadly, is screwed

@rcarnold1 @TMTLongShort @balajis Weakness as Strength Neat jujitsu But replacement of the US market with a Chinese?

@TMTLongShort @balajis Canada wouldn't have run a destroyer through the China Strait. We are also starting to see the Canada pivot.

@wretchardthecat Ol joe was never in fact in charge So no worries there But public perception became a problem to manage

"I don't know what happened. I mean, when I, as I watched it, I thought, 'Oh my God, he's having a stroke,' and it scared me to death," the former first lady said later on in the clip. Was anybody ever frightened that the fate of an entire nation, and possibly the world, was being kept in the trembling hands of a poor impaired man? abcnews.com/Politics/jill-…

@GOP_is_Gutless @TrumpsHurricane Correct.

I guarantee that bitch has no idea what the definition of fascism is. Fascism : It may be mere coincidence, but I find it striking how the term “fascist” or “fascism” has been radically redefined in recent years to serve specific political agendas. Allow me to clarify the true, historical meaning of fascism. A precise 2025 definition might read: Fascism is when government and business collude to strip citizens of their rights and freedoms. This aligns closely with the 1954 Webster’s Dictionary: Fascism: a centralized system of government which exercises absolute control over industry, advocates strong national policies, regulates all news, and suppresses opposition. The period from 2016 until Donald Trump’s election exemplified this dynamic—government colluding with business to erode citizens’ rights and freedoms. Under Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, entities like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google, and others were enlisted to silence dissenting speech. This escalated when Biden leveraged America’s media to conceal the Hunter Biden laptop story from public view. Further examples include the Obama and Biden administrations directing banks to “debank” individuals for political reasons. In essence, the tactics deployed by Democrats starting in 2016 under Barack Obama mirrored the fascism of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini in the 1930s.

This woman says that her and her son are leaving America to "escape fascism" and she's angry that she has to do that. What is your Advice to her ??
