Uranium is going so fast, how can one even calculate one's exposure... to assist in the valuations... I suggest the Elon musk approach to Twitter...
You just go Frack it, its X !!! and BUY !!!
BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's new claim that he reached an agreement to "cancel tonight's strikes" on Iran as "baseless," saying no agreement has been approved at all, and all of Trump's words should be disregarded like all his previous "38 times" deal-imminent announcements over two months, per Tasnim.
A senior Israeli official also tells Channel 12 they are "not aware of any agreement being reached," per N12.
🚨🇪🇺REMEMBER : Elon Musk just put the EU chief back in her place!
Von der Leyen was preaching about "democracy" until Musk hit her with a truth bomb:
"If democracy is the foundation of freedom, surely your position as leader of the EU should be elected directly by the people?"
@CFlanders7 Can you please share how the compounding and sizing works that a Total 150% from the top gainers in 2025 contributed to the 1300% gain in 2 years
This is one part of the systemic part of the process which no one really goes into but its crucially important
Maybe most important
GOD BLESS YOU SIR 🫵🏻🫡

Clint Eastwood Said Something About Getting Old That Stopped Me Cold.
Aging is not gentle.
You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move. But the body that carried you through everything - the wars, the work, the wildness of youth - begins to ask for more than you can give it. Joints that never complained now speak up in the morning. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses.
But none of that is the hardest part.
The hardest part is the quiet.
At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call.
The people who knew you when you were young - who remembered the same summers, the same streets, the same faces
- are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry have no one left to share them with.
So you tell the stories anyway.
To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps the truth deserves. With a touch of pride you've earned and a grief you don't always name. You know the person across from you wasn't there. You know they can't quite feel it the way you do.
But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on.
Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered.
And if no one asks for them - you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up.
Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body.
It is memory looking for a place to rest.
And what an older person needs - more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel - is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen.
Not to fix anything.
Just to be there.
That is the whole gift. And it costs nothing.

🚨 let me tell you what this actually costs you because I'm sure most people don't know..
Obama returned $1.7 billion to Iran..
and here's the part nobody wants to say out loud.. that was Iran's own money.. impounded funds.. a Hague-related ruling.. not a single dollar of yours..
the Strait of Hormuz was open the entire time.. free.. no deal required.. no war required..
now run the math on what just changed..
Trump backed a conflict that closed the Strait.. 20% of the world's oil supply.. gone.. and the proposed fix is a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran.. linked to US envoys Witkoff and Kushner.. pending Trump's final sign-off..
$1.7 billion of Iran's own money = open strait..
$300 billion of your money = maybe open strait.. for 60 days..
that's a 17,547% cost increase to get back to where we started..
and the people who spent years screaming about the $1.7 billion are the same people calling this 4D chess..
the system worked for someone today.. just not for you.
I'll share more updates shortly, turn on notifications before it's too late.
Not 1°C of warming has been reduced. Not one life was saved. Not 1 ppm of CO₂ has been avoided.
The total climate price tag by 2050 will be $275 trillion—amounting to $9.2 trillion every single year (McKinsey, 2022). That staggering total is roughly 2.5 times the entire annual GDP of the world.
Not one life has been saved from a changing climate that could have been better protected by leaving cheap, reliable, traditional energy in place. This is the ultimate belief gap, and it's staggering.
While the UN chased a global wealth redistribution bonanza, the cost to our future has been colossal. Imagine a world we could have built if that capital hadn't been poured into a failed ideology. The UN wealth redistribution scheme didn't save the planet, it funded a new, fabulously wealthy, bureaucratic class.
Reality is finally calling in the debt.
The LARGEST human ivermectin cancer study EVER conducted found 84% of cancer patients declared COMPLETE REMISSION, TUMOR SHRINKAGE, or HALTED TUMOR GROWTH.
Our study is now PEER-REVIEWED and PUBLISHED by the International Institute of Anticancer Research.
The tide is turning.
Walk into any modern high-tech greenhouse, and you will find CO₂ levels artificially elevated to between 1,000 ppm and 1,200 ppm.
This is nearly triple ambient outdoor conditions. Raising CO₂ in controlled environments can supercharge crop yields by 80% to over 120% for staples like tomatoes and peppers. If CO₂ really was a toxic pollutant, commercial greenhouse operators wouldn't spend millions pumping it into their enclosures.
But this biological miracle isn't just found in greenhouses any more. It's happening right now in the open fields. CO₂ has climbed to roughly 430 ppm, becoming a silent tailwind behind a new green revolution. The climate agenda warned us of impending droughts, floods and food scarcity—fears based almost entirely on computer models.
NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory satellites reveal an unexpected new dawn. Between 10% and 40% of all historical crop yield improvements since 1940 are directly due to rising CO₂. For wheat, soybeans, and corn, the atmospheric fuel injection has driven a massive portion of the modern 'green revolution'.
This data comes from a recent landmark study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which utilised satellite tracking to measure the exact impact of CO₂ fertilisation on broadacre field crops.
For C3 crops like wheat, rice, and potatoes, the extra CO₂ has been an immediate stimulant, accelerating growth and biomass. More CO₂ also allows leaf pores (stomata) to stay partially closed, reducing water loss by up to 40%. In dry broadacre zones, this creates unprecedented natural drought resilience.
CO₂ has been treated as an agent of starvation and ruin in the climate agenda. Yet the hard science proves it is a primary engine of agricultural abundance. The planet isn't dying; it's successfully feeding a population of 8 billion with unprecedented biological efficiency.
Perhaps they never expected this.
Alcohol and tobacco are available on every street corner.
Cigarettes proven to cause cancer. Alcohol proven to destroy the liver, the brain, the marriage, and the careful plans of an entire weekend.
Both legal. Both taxed. Both stocked at the petrol station.
Raw milk, on the other hand, sold by a farmer three miles down the road from a cow that has a name, must apparently be regulated as a public health threat.
The petrol station sells nicotine pouches, vodka, energy drinks containing seven grams of taurine and a kilogram of sugar, and an entire wall of ultra-processed snacks designed by chemists.
The farm gate down the lane sells a glass of milk. The same milk humans have been drinking for ten thousand years.
The petrol station is fine. The farm gate is the problem.
You can decide which of these your government is actually trying to protect you from.
I spent 4 hours yesterday updating my resume to apply for a mid-level PM role.
The listing said they wanted someone with 10 years of experience in a software that was invented 4 years ago.
I clicked apply and was immediately redirected to a third-party portal that asked me to upload my resume, which I did.
Then it asked me to manually type in every single detail of the resume I had just uploaded.
Why did I upload it if I have to type it again?
Is the uploaded PDF just a ceremonial offering to the HR gods?
I spent 40 minutes breaking down my career history into tiny mandatory text boxes.
The portal required me to list a start and end date for every job, but the calendar widget wouldn't let me type the year.
I had to click the back arrow month by month to get to 2002.
My wrist started cramping somewhere around 2018.
Then it asked for my high school GPA.
I'm 44 years old.
I don't even remember the name of my high school mascot, let alone my proficiency in AP European History.
After the history lesson, came the behavioral assessment.
It presented me with 75 statements and asked me to rate them from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree."
One statement was "I prefer to work alone but also thrive in team environments."
That is a paradox.
I'm being asked to evaluate a philosophical contradiction by a recruiting algorithm.
I just clicked "neutral" for everything out of spite.
The final step was a mandatory video cover letter.
I had to record a one-minute pitch explaining why my core values align with a B2B SaaS company that sells inventory management software.
My core value is being able to afford groceries and paying my internet bill on time.
I put on a dress shirt over my sweatpants, stared into my webcam, and lied for 60 seconds.
I said I've always been profoundly passionate about supply chain optimization.
Nobody is passionate about supply chain optimization.
I clicked submit and immediately received an automated rejection email.
The timestamp said it was sent zero seconds after I applied.
I was evaluated and deemed unworthy by a line of code at the speed of light.
Next time I'm just going to wrap my resume around a brick and throw it through their office window.
🚨 🚨 BEZOS HAS 3 OPTIONS LEFT AFTER NEW GLENN'S LAUNCHPAD EXPLOSION. ALL 3 ARE CATASTROPHIC.
This is the moment nobody wants to talk about.
After years of development, a $1B+ heavy-lift rocket program, and a final ground test before Amazon's Kuiper satellite mission → Blue Origin is now boxed into THREE choices. And every single one is a nightmare:
⚠️ OPTION 1: REBUILD LC-36 FROM SCRATCH
– The only launchpad Blue Origin owns is now a debris field
– One 600-foot lightning tower toppled. Erector-gantry: gone. Ground equipment: destroyed.
– Pad rebuilds after a full vehicle explosion take 12–24 months minimum
– Amazon's Kuiper constellation — already years behind SpaceX Starlink — falls further behind
– Every month of delay costs Amazon market share it cannot get back
⚠️ OPTION 2: BORROW OR BUY LAUNCH CAPACITY FROM A COMPETITOR
– The only competitor with available heavy-lift pads is SpaceX
– Asking your direct rival for a launchpad is not a business negotiation — it's a surrender
– SpaceX has every incentive to slow-walk, overcharge, or simply say no
– Amazon would be funding the company that is actively destroying Kuiper's market window
– Jeff Bezos built Blue Origin specifically to avoid this dependency
⚠️ OPTION 3: ABSORB THE DELAY AND KEEP INVESTING
– New Glenn's first stage was enveloped in fire during a routine hotfire test — the final check before orbital flight
– The vehicle collapsed. The upper stage tilted and fell. Fires burned at multiple stories
– This wasn't a launch failure. This was a ground test. The hardest problems haven't even been attempted yet.
– Blue Origin has no second pad, no backup vehicle, and no timeline for the next attempt
– And Starlink already has 7,000+ satellites in orbit
Let that sink in.
There is no Option 4. There is no clean exit. There is no "we rebuild and catch up by Q4."
The media is showing you "rocket science is hard" and "no injuries reported."
They're NOT showing you that Blue Origin just destroyed its only launchpad — the single piece of infrastructure that connects years of development to an actual orbital mission — three hours before midnight on May 28, 2026.
This is the most consequential single test failure any American space company has faced since SpaceX's Pad 40 explosion in 2016.

🎯 Deep Dive: The Quiet Coup Inside the NDAA
The Responsible Statecraft piece has put its finger on something genuinely significant — and the fact that this is happening inside a must-pass $1.15 trillion defense bill, buried at Section 224, tells you everything about how the permanent national security apparatus operates when it wants to avoid a public fight.
🏗️ What Section 224 Actually Does
This isn’t a tweak. Section 224 — titled the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” — is a structural rewiring of the U.S.-Israel military relationship.
The provision authorizes $150 million annually from FY2027 through FY2029, but the money is almost beside the point. What matters is the architecture it builds:
- Bilateral R&D across AI, quantum computing, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, counter-drone systems, and missile defense
- Co-production and joint ventures with Israeli defense firms on U.S. soil
- Licensing agreements that embed Israeli-origin intellectual property into Pentagon programs of record
- “Network integration” and “data fusion” — which means U.S. military data flowing into Israeli systems and vice versa
- Pathways from R&D straight into procurement, bypassing the normal foreign aid oversight channels
The key phrase in the legislative text: technologies are to be identified for “integration into United States systems and programs of record.” That’s not foreign aid. That’s making Israeli defense tech a backbone of the U.S. military.
🔄 The Strategic Shift: From Aid to Embedded Infrastructure
The Quincy Institute’s Steven Simon has been tracking this for months. His brief, The Disappearing Aid Check, lays out exactly what’s happening — and it’s more sophisticated than most people realize.
The current model: Israel receives Foreign Military Financing (FMF) through the State Department, voted on annually by Congress. It's visible. It's politically accountable. People can argue about it.
The new model: Phase out FMF grants and replace them with Pentagon procurement accounts, industrial partnerships, and sustainment pipelines. Same money, different door — one with vastly less transparency.
The logic, as Simon documents, is being sold under an “America First” framing: this isn’t a handout to Israel, it’s an investment in American military readiness, industrial capacity, and jobs. Israeli co-production facilities in Mississippi and Arkansas become political leverage — members of Congress protect the jobs in their districts, and the relationship becomes structurally impossible to unwind.
This is the same playbook the military-industrial complex always uses: distribute the subcontracts across as many congressional districts as possible so no one dares vote against the program. Now they’re doing it with a foreign country’s defense sector.
🕳️ The Transparency Problem
The shift from State Department-administered FMF to Pentagon procurement is the move that should alarm anyone who cares about accountability.
Under the FMF model:
- Congress votes on the aid package publicly
- The State Department provides human rights certifications
- There’s diplomatic oversight and policy conditionality
- Public debate is possible
Under the Pentagon procurement model:
- Funding moves through budget justification documents and program element descriptions
- Oversight is limited to “cost, readiness, and capability” — bureaucratic criteria
- The relationship gets evaluated like any other weapons program, not as a strategic political commitment
- No diplomatic strings attached
As the Responsible Statecraft piece notes, this would give Israel “a higher level of military-industrial integration than the U.S. has with any other country in the world” — including NATO allies. Not even the Five Eyes partners have this kind of embedded access to U.S. defense procurement.
🧬 The Legislative Genealogy
This didn’t come out of nowhere. H.R. 7540 (Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-TX) and S. 3855 (Sen. Ted Budd, R-NC) were introduced as standalone bills in February 2026 with nearly identical language. When a standalone passage looked difficult, the provisions got folded into the NDAA — the classic maneuver for legislation that can’t survive public scrutiny on its own.
The JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security of America) influence is unmistakable. Their “Partners in Production” report explicitly recommended deeper industrial integration and the addition of Israel to the U.S. National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB). The FY2026 NDAA had already directed DoD to establish a working group to assess exactly that. Section 224 is the next logical step — and JINSA’s fingerprints are all over it.
⚠️ Why This Matters More Than the Dollar Figure
$150 million a year is a rounding error in a $1.15 trillion defense bill. But the institutional architecture this creates is permanent.
Once Israeli firms are embedded in U.S. supply chains, once Israeli-origin IP is inside Pentagon programs of record, once U.S. and Israeli military data networks are fused — disentanglement becomes economically and institutionally impossible. You can’t just stop the aid check. You’d have to rip apart procurement programs, break contracts, and rebuild supply chains.
That’s the point. This is designed to make the relationship irreversible — at precisely the moment when a growing number of Americans are questioning unconditional support for Israel’s actions in the region.
The traditional Israel lobby works through campaign contributions and media influence. This is more sophisticated: it works through the defense procurement bureaucracy itself, creating material interests that guarantee political support regardless of public opinion.
🗳️ What Happens Next
The House Armed Services Committee markup is scheduled for June 4, 2026. After that, the bill moves to the full House, then reconciliation with the Senate version.
Section 224 is currently in the base text — meaning it was put there by committee leadership before amendments or broader debate. That’s how the most consequential provisions get through: bury them in the chairman’s mark, count on the must-pass nature of the NDAA, and dare anyone to hold up the entire defense budget over one section.
Members who want to stop this have a narrow window: force a floor amendment to strike Section 224, or demand recorded votes that put colleagues on the record supporting the fusion of U.S. and Israeli militaries. The question is whether anyone has the stomach for that fight when the pro-Israel apparatus in both parties remains largely unchallenged.
The Responsible Statecraft piece is right to flag this. The quiet ones are always the ones that matter most.
OAKTREE'S HOWARD MARKS JUST EXPLAINED WHY MOST INVESTORS SELL THEIR BIGGEST WINNERS TOO EARLY
He used Amazon as the example. The stock went from $90 in 1999 to $6 in 2001, down 93%.
If you were smart enough to buy it at $6, here's the question that will mess with your head:
"What about when it got to $60 and you made 10 times your money? Most people would sell."
"What about when it got to $600 and you made 100 times your money? Would you sell half? Would you sell 90%?"
At the time Marks wrote that memo, Amazon was $3,300.
If you sold at $600 when you were up 100x, you left 85% of the gains on the table.
Then he made his real point:
"Buffett invested for 70 years and says he made all his money on 12 ideas. Charlie Munger said he made all his money on 4 ideas."
"If you realize how scarce great compounders are, then the big mistake is getting off too soon."
