Imagine you spend billions of your tax dollars to prop up a defiant client state who has been dragging you into forever wars, and then you have to raise your counter intelligence level in fear that this state is spying on you
Pentagon raises threat of Israeli spying to the highest level

WSJ: "Fears of rising interest rates collided with worries about artificial-intelligence spending on Wall Street Friday, bringing an abrupt and painful end to weeks of gains and sending the Nasdaq composite to its worst day in more than a year....
The losses intensified after a robust jobs report raised new worries that the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates later this year to fight inflation."

This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.
Here's the hard truth about the Iran war: Iran isn't trying to win. It's trying to outlast. This has been their plan for decades. We even have footage of them saying EXACTLY THAT in the 1990s.
By every conventional measurement, Iran has lost. But they learned something important over the past decades: The only wars America has ever lost are the ones we've grown tired of. So, they have kept the war JUST hot enough to wear the American people out.
They know they can’t beat us on the battlefield. So they hurt us at the gas pump and wait for us to vote in new people. That has always been their ultimate plan.
Based on Mr. Aoun's comments, one would think it's Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombing his country on daily basis.
Had Lebanon been bargaining chip for Iran, we'd have a deal long ago.
Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President.
Fourth straight night of protests in Albania over a luxury resort project on protected land linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Demonstrators are demanding the project be suspended.
RO KHANNA: “Let me be clear, Netanyahu is the one that actually told members of congress to add section 224 (merging the U.S. and Israeli militaries) into the bill.”
Khanna says the quiet part out loud. Our elected officials are subservient to a foreign nation. We are Occupied.
The October 8th rally was “too soon” and too controversial for NYC-DSA. Every socialist elected official - including Zohran Mamdani - avoided it.
But Darializa Avila Chevalier, then relatively unknown, was there.
Rather shocking remarks at the Park East Synagogue on Sunday from former Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan: “Message to Mayor Mamdani: We survived Amalek, we survived Hamas, we defeated Iran, we overcame Pharaoh — we will overcome Zohran Mamdani as well.”
LINDSEY GRAHAM: “I go back to S.C. and I’m asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Middle East. To all the isolationists: I’m not with you, I’m with Israel. God bless Israel. We should move all of our stuff to Israel.”
He actually said this on live television.
The two reporters on the New York Times Platner story — Katie Glueck and Lisa Lere — are the same reporters who described Zohran Mamdani's July 2025 win as a "Spiritual Kristallnacht."
Oil bros are long and think escalation is imminent, when we legit sent one of the Marine Expeditionary Units that would be needed to free Hormuz in an escalation scenario, away from the region. They’re mad at me for doing the work that they’re not. From rationalizing what their biases blind them to see. Legit just saw one of the guys from France who I used to talk oil with, just saw he doesn’t follow me anymore. I thought we were cool lol. I check his page, and what do I see? He’s long oil. Can I be bombastic? Sure. But I have been on the money wrt to oil. Oil bulls were late, the easy money has been made already, they have been getting crushed by the volatility, lying to themselves saying that they are getting more outdated options, options whose premium will be obliterated on the news drop of a deal. I read and listen to people I disagree with ALL THE TIME. I can’t imagine not following me, even if you’re an oil bull, for even if you don’t agree with my bear case, the best push back you’ll get on a bull case is from my arguments. If you don’t see the value in that then you have no hope in markets.
سؤال مشروع لـ"فتح" وعناصرها..
ما الذي يمكن أن يفعله الاحتلال ويدفع قيادة الحركة إلى تغيير برنامج ثبت فشله طوال عقود؟!
حاول عرفات، رحمه الله، ذلك عبر "انتفاضة الأقصى"، ومحاولة جلب السلاح عير سفينة "كارين إيه"، فانتهى مقتولا بالسمّ بعد أن وفّر مَن ورثوه أجواء اغتياله بالتعاون مع الأوروبيين والأمريكان.
طلب "الخلف" فرصة لإثبات نظريتهم في إنقاذ الوضع، فانتهوا إلى فشل ذريع، لكن شيئا لم يتغيّر.
لا هُم اعترفوه بفشلهم، ولا "القبيلة" سحبت بيعتها لهم ولبرنامجهم.
من الواضح أن لا أمل فيهم، ولا مجال أمام الشعب سوى دفعهم إلى الهامش، رغم صعوبة المهمّة بوجود الشرعية العربية والدولية لقيادتهم.
"فتح" اليوم عقبة في وجه مسار التحرير، ولا بد من تجاوزها كي تُصوّب البوصلة ويدفع الاحتلال ثمن غطرسته.
