If tariffs don’t cause high prices, how will suspending beef tariffs cause low prices?

Itamar Ben-Gvir: "I have a son going in and out of Lebanon with his reconnaissance unit. He and his friends deserve for us to bomb Beirut - to crush them."

He's calling for the destruction of a city of 2 million people

These people are lunatics - and people still pretend they're interested in peace.

That’s weird, because the rest of us understand it perfectly.

If Democrats do everything right, the national debt will matter again at 12:01 pm on January 20, 2029.

Falling Down.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

It's official.

On July 31st, we called for US government intervention as long-term borrowing costs hit 2008 levels.

Today, it happened. The US Treasury is DOUBLING buybacks to $4 billion per operation for "liquidity support."

What comes next? Let us explain.

Israel didn’t just “fire on a car”, the Red Cross told them 5-year-old Hind was in that car. IDF gave permission to an ambulance to enter the area, then ambushed & bombed that ambulance, shot 355 bullets at Hind’s car, prevented anyone from reaching her body for 12 days & lied about it for 2 years saying “we never even had troops in that area” despite satellite images & audio recordings proving they were lying!

NEWS: Google Just Made It Easier for Campaigns to Send You Fund-Raising Emails

The tech giant quietly rolled out a new program Monday to allow candidates, PACs and parties to more easily bypass the spam filter — and wind up in inboxes.

when this video first dropped I was like "hey uh why are Americans funding catapults to start wildfires in Lebanon?" and hundreds of Israelis came into my replies and were like "it's actually a trebuchet idiot"

Slowly and steadily, the 30-year US Treasury yield is heading toward 5.30%, a level the economy -- and the housing market in particular-- has not seen in decades.

Whooops! I'm sure that's just an innocent mistake

This story is harrowing. Police jailed this woman, impounded her car for 7 months, and hit her with 8 felonies after a Flock camera flagged a Dodge Durango that killed 3 people. She faced life in prison.

The problem: It was a completely different Dodge Durango.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Gaza:

Anyone who looks from here understands that in the next 20 years there is nothing to look for there.

And that’s perfectly fine. It must remain an eternal ruin.

It shall not be rebuilt, as a reminder of iniquity for anyone around us who ever conceives of doing to the Jewish people what these Nazis did.

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: Iran has completely ruled out any future negotiations with the Trump administration, declaring it will wait out Donald Trump's term until January 20, 2029, per Iranian outlets and Ghalibaf advisor's post.

"Trump will not reach an agreement with us. We will accompany him until his term ends," said Majid Shakeri, advisor to Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf.

He posted: "The path to victory is neither fighting nor a deal — it is managing the process of neither war nor peace, up to the point of victory. Publicly confirming negotiations with the U.S. is sheer folly. The winning approach is denial, ambiguity, and strategic patience."

Iran's conditions remain unchanged: $300 billion in compensation, release of frozen assets, and withdrawal of U.S. forces. Until then, the Strait stays closed.

My only regret is that Lindsey Graham didn't live to see this. Rejection of his life's work.
