One day, you'll bury your dad, and that's the day you'll realize you lost the only man who genuinely wanted you to do better than him.
Take care of him if he's alive.
A brilliant explanation of the sources of wokeism and the foundation behind most of the West’s challenges in recent years.
A very important read.
I would never have found this post except for @X’s auto-translation feature. The original post in French.
🚨HAPPENING NOW: Justice Department announces indictment against Southern Poverty Law Center ("SPLC"). Our indictment alleges SPLC secretly funneled MORE THAN $3 MILLION in funds to members of white supremacist and extremist groups.
@NoLimitGains Oh... the latest ISM was already bad - prices at 78.3 with employment contracting at 48.7. That combination has only appeared during oil shocks, average S&P drawdown of -34%. If this drags on we have a real chance of history repeating
@policytensor The Arabian plate is converging with the Eurasian so the Hormuz strait will close by itself in a few millions years effectively rendering this entire issue irrelevant.
@DineshDSouza “The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a challenge this week to the constitutionality of a federal law that bans the possession of a firearm by someone who has been the subject of a domestic violence restraining order” YOU’RE WELCOME
Oil futures before the Iran conflict (Jan 2026, stuck in the mid-60s) in blue vs now (Mar 2026) in red after the spike.
Prices are up $30+ near-term, meaning higher energy cost for months ahead. Traders are not expecting a decline back to pre-conflict prices anytime soon.
This is a ballsy power play by Trump.
Lloyd's of London was the gold standard for maritime insurance policies until just a day or two ago when they started cancelling policies or jacking them up 3-5X. Others insurers followed. That collapsed commercial shipping traffic through Hormuz, which choked oil shipments out of the Middle East.
Trump doing this means the DFC has the chance to displace Lloyd's as the big dog in this game, when they have been the lock-in player for many years.
It also frees up all the oil that was getting trapped there, heading off shortages and keeping the energy market alive.
And why not? It's the American navy that sunk the Iranian ships that were harassing tankers. And the American Navy -- at least for now -- will keep those tankers safe.
It's a huge reassurance to allies -- both oil producers and oil consumers -- that our campaign in Iran isn't going to sink their economies. And it allows America to be choosy about traffic in the Strait.
It also potentially means billions of dollars in insurance premiums at wartime rates going to America instead of the UK. And those rates are STILL going to be cheaper than what shippers were getting.
A day after celebrating the high-speed rail that is decades behind schedule and a hundred billion taxpayer dollars over budget with Gavin Newsom, the CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority was arrested for domestic violence.
This may have flown under the radar because this was the same day a large section of the high-speed rail caught fire.

@LizMacDonaldFOX Probably right. But even the risk of this law and the fact it is retroactive is forcing some to pick up and leave just in case. What are we up to now, a trillion $ that has left the state? And will not be coming back regardless.
