I was no fan of the late Senator Graham, but at least he recognized that Israel is a great ally. They have the best interceptor technology, the best intelligence in the region, and a military that is well equipped and very capable. What other “allies” have helped us in the Middle East? We should be working closely with Israel. You do not deserve to succeed Senator Graham. We’ll take his sister over you. Stick to selling furniture.
@SteveLovesAmmo Nope. I have 4 siblings. We were all raised by the same parents in the same home. We are all quite different people. Some make good decisions, others not so much. Genetics plays a much larger role in personality than you appear to be crediting.
.@NYCMayor Mamdani’s appointed advisory commission is recommending an 18.2% raise for himself and other elected officials purportedly because of inflation, yet his self-appointed Rent Guidelines Board — which is supposed to consider inflation in setting rents— froze rents for two years.
A question for the mayor:
How is this fair or appropriate?
@Gwynne_Shotwell I hope this means you can gift the shares in-kind, rather than the proceeds from a sale. I can’t think of anything more inspiring than giving a child an actual share in SpaceX. You and your husband are awesome!!
Egypt's coach waving the Palestinian flag after their win in World Cup yesterday 👇
Fun fact: Egypt has built a 7-layered wall on its border with Gaza to make sure not a single Palestinian refugee crosses into Egypt 🤡
Fifty years ago today, Air France Captain Michel Bacos showed the world what true moral courage looks like.
When Flight 139 was hijacked by Palestinian and German terrorists and flown to Entebbe, the non-Jewish passengers were eventually released. Bacos and his crew were also offered their freedom.
However, Bacos, who also served in the French army under DeGaulle, refused to leave his Jewish passengers. All his crew also refused, without exception.
Instead, they chose to remain alongside the 94 Jewish hostages, fully aware of the danger they faced. As Bacos later said, abandoning his passengers was simply "unimaginable."
Days later, they were freed in the legendary Israeli rescue mission, Operation Entebbe, led by Yoni Netanyahu, who would die in the battle.
For his extraordinary courage, Bacos was honoured by both France and Israel. Yet his greatest legacy was not the medals he received, but the example he set: that decency, duty and humanity must never yield to terror or antisemitism.
Michel Bacos was a true hero. May his life, his courage and his memory forever be a blessing and an inspiration.
@LizAnnSonders “Prediction markets” gotta be one of the greatest euphemisms of all time. I’m not betting, gambling or wagering, I’m trading in the prediction markets. No big surprise that a global online casino is generating serious revenue.
The 60/40 portfolio was coined during the 40 year bull market in bonds. Once we hit zero interest (or close to it), the bull market in bonds was over. We are now likely in a bear market for bonds. I wouldn’t own any bonds. If you want income, write calls against your stock portfolio.
Idea for you @SecScottBessent : Ask @elonmusk to donate shares of $SPCX to these Fostering Our Future Accounts. Treasury would need to allow the accounts to hold individual stocks that are donated. Allow the donor (Musk) to vote the shares so long as they remain in the accounts (the kids are minors so shouldn't be voting the shares anyway). Foster kids owning SpaceX will be beneficial to them, to SpaceX and the country. @altcap@DavidSacks@SarahHuckabee
@USTreasury@SecScottBessent@elonmusk would be really cool if you contribute to the Trump Accounts of these foster kids. "World's first trillionaire funds savings accounts for foster children" has a nice sound to it. Talk with @altcap and @SecScottBessent
@MOSSADil To heck with "proportional and limited". Our response should be entirely disproportionate. Magnanimity will be viewed as weakness. Go big or go home.
