Hello everyone! So, as some might be aware I started a newsletter a couple months ago. It surprisingly was well received, which led me to start a consulting company! I’m now open for business for all your geopolitical risk and analytic training needs! 🙂

It's always important to look at history to compare likely scenarios for the future. Eurasia once again takes center stage in geopolitics. https://t.co/v8tj5EIFLA

As I recently noted, and again lament, we were assured re: the 2021 withdrawal that Afghanistan would never again become a haven or a base for international terrorism. https://t.co/zSVSQeJcG6

Your reminder that:

1. American LNG is cleaner than Russia, Venezuela, Iran, etc.

2. American LNG displaces global coal (37% of the world’s energy production)

3. Stopping American LNG exports is dumb & simply offshores supply to our enemies (aka bad for the environment)

Brilliant essay! Though I’m a communitarian, I deeply admire libertarianism, and I think there’s much to learn from Barnett’s emphasis on keeping the public-private separation.

A good summary of the case that removes the hyperbole. My constitutional view would agree with the decision, but I would dissent on not allowing official acts to be admitted to create evidence of a mindset.

Can someone explain to me why every Netflix show has to ruin even moderately good stories with woke nonsense and misandry? Watching Dead Boy Detectives, and of course there’s an episode on “toxic masculinity.” It’d be nice is not everything was like that. 😒😒😒

What Rishi Sinai did in the UK is purely authoritarian. If I were the cigarette companies, I’d immediately pull out of the UK. See how well the Tories do in the next election… pure evil.

Woke activists are slapping the label "occupier" on posters of missing Israeli children in order to take away the moral status of these children.

The woke want the public to stop seeing kidnapped children as "innocent victims" and to start seeing them as "guilty occupiers."

I believe Congress should pass a law to make it easier to sue universities that do stuff like this. I also find it egregiously wrong that @dove would reward someone who made false accusations. https://t.co/3oTcFzNG7j

The Fall of the House of Usher is a brilliant miniseries and wonderful use of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories. Possibly Mark Hamill’s second best work (only behind the Joker). Definitely recommend.

I hope she actually believes this and applies it to dissenting conservatives, not just dissenting leftists.

New message from Harvard President Claudine Gay:

“Our university embraces a commitment to free expression. That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous. We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views.”

Understanding Hamas’s Genocidal Ideology:
A close read of Hamas’s founding documents clearly shows its intentions.

1/ In the UK smoking causes 1 in 4 cancer deaths.

So I’m proposing changing the law so children turning 14 or younger this year can never legally be sold cigarettes in their lifetime.

A smoke-free generation.

None of us want our children to grow up to smoke.

Here's why 👇🧵

Itay and Hadar Berdichevsky hid their 10-month-old twins in a hidden shelter as Hamas terrorists were trying to brake into their home.

They were both murdered.

Their children were found alive by Israeli soldiers 12 hours later

October 7, 2023 saw the most Jews slaughtered in a single day since the Holocaust.

A map I came across of the attack. Sorry I didn’t save the source (will tag them if someone knows).

[Bruce Hoffman @hoffman_bruce]

Last Monday I bumped into a former senior US intell officer/past president of a DC think-tank. "Are you still studying terrorism?"--implying that it was yesterday's threat & that I should move on. As today's tragic events show, the threat is worse & more consequential than ever.
