Highest-Yielding Dividend Stocks in the S&P 500
In some cases, the companies below have entered elite-yield territory only because their share prices have come under significant stress. In turn, some analysts are now concerned about the long-term sustainability of these payouts.

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇

"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation.

So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse.

A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."

Belarusians are for Ukraine!

From the very beginning of the full-scale war,

Many Belarusians immediately joined the Ukrainian army as volunteers.

Many of those in this photo are no longer alive; some are in captivity.

Glory to Ukraine! Long Live Belarus! For your freedom and ours!

1/ Leaked messages and photographs from a senior Russian general show his role in the murder, torture and abuse of captured Ukrainians, some of whom had their ears cut off. The messages illustrate how routine extreme brutality is in the Russian army, even at senior levels. ⬇️

[Dan Burrows @danburrows]

@Aviation_Intel Yes, please do.

@ChrisO_wiki Isn't this Dead Souls, Sevastopol Sketches, and the "Aulic Council" in War and Peace?

@SonnyBunch @HistoryBoomer Isn't there a Mark Twain quotation for this? "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it."

@tracyalloway @Noahpinion Or this chart?

@tracyalloway BTC vs GLD. The final nail in the coffin.

[Richard Farr @farrmacro]

Concur with @michaeljburry . Our BTC price target is 0.0. That's not just for shock factor. It's where the math takes us. It's not worked as a dollar hedge, rather it's just a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq. It's not gaining any traction as medium of exchange. No serious central bank will ever own something where Michael Saylor controls the float. The miners (who are the network) are bleeding cash. It's horribly inefficient as a transaction processor and wastes tremendous amounts of energy. Nothing "green" about this "coin". We think it's a zero.

@clairlemon Sanctimony, yes, but it’s also a classic case of malignant projection.

Twitter has always revealed character. It exposes insecurity fast. Plenty of “successful” adults still act like kids, complaining, gossiping, and embarrassing themselves in public. If you’re younger, study it closely. It’s a masterclass in what not to become and who to avoid.

[Paul Anleitner @PaulAnleitner]

The online trend of young men reading classic works of literature and posting about it continues.

⁦@ChrisKindaReads⁩ was the first I saw do it, but it is spreading.

Don’t blackpill on the next generation.

It's now illegal to play football when the government is playing football. Watching the Great Patriotic Government Football is mandatory. All comrades must participate or social credit scores will be reduced. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Glory to the Soviet Union!
