I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 45 minutes. He's so sharp. Just like always he let me do all of the talking. He's a great listener. After that we prayed silently for awhile and had a staring contest. Just like always, he beat me. I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.
@Osinttechnical Well guys, we lost! And sure it would’ve been much better if we never initiated this war, but what of the friends we made along the way? We would’ve missed all those fun Lego videos
The oil trading algos are so dumb.
Axios headline again but this time, peace deal between Lebanon and Israel, which by the way, was supposed to be in a ceasefire since mid-April.
Comical at this point.
Americans are told that they must absorb rocketing costs of war of choice on Iran.
Put aside gas price hike and stock market bubble. Real pain begins when U.S. debt and mortgage rates start to jump. Auto loan delinquencies are already at 30+-year high.
This was all avoidable.
@hotdamhistorian Right, like one of Madison’s biggest “challenges” was creating representative government Tha wouldn’t challenge or divide colonial elite interests. But should AOC explain that to everyone? Fuck no lol
Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples.
Without a change of direction in the assumption of political responsibility, and without respect for institutions and international agreements, humanity's destiny risks being tragically compromised. God does not want this. His holy Name must not be profaned by the desire for domination, arrogance, or discrimination. Above all, it must never be invoked to justify death-dealing choices and actions.
