The two million mom-and-pop companies that were destroyed sent customers scampering to the survivors. You no longer can eat at Linda's Diner so now you must go to Chipotle's or MacDonald's. It was a hostile takeover. Biggest winner, of course, was Amazon.

Bari Weiss interfered with 60 minutes that asked that the protesters be made "to look more violent."

Let that sink in.

Scott Pelley: “Bari Weiss sends an email to my boss, Tanya Simon. Two of the things in the email include, can we make the protesters look more violent?”

Appears to be a warning by Iran today that as a result of President Trump‘s permission for Israel to launch “targeted strikes“ against HZ in Lebanon, we risk receiving counterstrikes by Iran against American and Israeli assets.

This ceasefire appears to be hanging by a thread — and we keep pulling at that thread…

[The Iranian Letter @TheIranianzg3z]

BREAKING: Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has concluded its emergency session, with reports indicating that a decision has been reached, though its details will not be made public.

Sources suggest the recent attack was viewed in Tehran as a challenge to Iran’s resolve rather than an operation aimed at achieving a significant military objective, with officials now reportedly assessing their next steps behind closed doors.

Maximum alert has been raised across Israel, from north to south.

The Israeli defense system and air force have entered maximum alert status.

The IC is leaking this at a critical moment.

It's a giant red flag saying Israel is doing everything possible to compromise US policymaking as Washington scrambles to get out of the Iran war.

[Jon Hoffman @Hoffman8Jon]

Re-upping this thread from March given today's news.

1) Israel does not provide the US with critically needed intelligence.

2) For decades, Israeli espionage has posed a substantial threat to the United States.

I’ve always been proactive about my health by eating very healthy, exercising, prioritizing sleep, not getting Covid vaccines, flu vaccines, and other traditional medical recommendations.
Here’s an easy Internet search about some of the stem cell treatments that we had to go to Dream Body Clinic in Mexico to get because they’re not available in the U.S.
It’s a shame that so many Americans have to travel abroad to get all types of medical treatments that they can’t get in the United States because our FDA doesn’t allow it.
Medical tourism is a huge industry and America should be ashamed of itself that so many Americans leave our own country seeking all types of treatments, medications, and surgeries that cost them 40 to 80% less than it does in the U.S. Our health insurance is already absolutely ridiculously expensive and healthcare cost is way too high.

@JonathanTurley You’re a tool of AIPAC

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Welker: You insisted no new wars. What changed?

Trump: I didn't guarantee "no war." Why would I build the strongest military in the world?

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Welker: 70% of farmers say they can't afford fertilizer.

Trump: The farmers are doing well. All of them support me.

IDF ALREADY embedded with (& training) ICE. And THIS will surely happen once they're integrated in US Forces.

While the attention is all on tech stocks, crude oil and the middle east, the black swan is in plain sight: the JPY

Everyone should pray the Japan government doesn’t lose the grip and the JPY starts free falling - the worldwide shock will be biblical and impossible to quantify

[Wyatt Reed @wyattreed13]

Leading Iranian legislator promises a “decisive and painful response to the Zionist regime's attack on the suburbs” of Beirut today.

“This rabid dog must be disciplined and put in its place.”

“Look at the sky over the occupied territories tonight.”

[John LeGalt @JLegalt]

@AFP Threatening its own territory?

Hungarys new "Man of the people"

Sitting on a yacht reading a book on Churchill by the repulsive fraud, liar and serial failure Boris Johnson.

With Idols like these, the future for Hungary is clear.

Trump: “would not release Iranian assets or ease sanctions initially in any agreement”

Bessent: “will use Iran frozen funds to repay GCC for the war damages”

Iran: “we won’t give up neither the SOH nor our Uranium”

Israel just attacked Beirut again

All bearish oil bro 👊

51% of the S&P 500's market cap is in stocks trading above 10x sales.

Half the index.

In 2002, after Sun Microsystems crashed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy famously said this about his own stock at 10x sales:

"At 10x revenues, to give you a 10-year payback, I have to pay you 100% of revenues for 10 straight years in dividends. Zero costs. Zero R&D. Zero taxes. Zero employees. What were you thinking?"

He was explaining why investors had been insane to pay it.

Today, half the S&P 500 trades there.

Different decade. Same math.

Pentagon DIA says Israel has ramped up spying on US officials since Trump showed interest in a deal with Iran

Israeli human espionage and technical collection is at a ”critical level,” the DIA states

Israel placed Stingray spy devices throughout the White House during the first Trump term
