Here’s Benjamin Netanyahu’s son calling for Arabs to invade Spain.

Nothing to see here. Please move along.

You know something is fundamentally broken when yields surge and your currency can’t rally.

This is one of the defining macro signals of our time:

America’s debt burden is turning higher yields into evidence of fiscal stress.

None of us own enough hard assets.

Your husband is the only person who ever loved you purely by choice.

Your family was already written into your story.

Parents loved you because you were theirs.

Siblings stayed because you shared blood.

Even your child is there because you’re the mother.

But your husband walked in as a complete stranger.

No obligation.
No duty.
No shared past.

He could have built a life with anyone else.

Yet he chose you.

Chose to grow old with you.

Chose to call you home.

That kind of love is never automatic.

It is a daily, deliberate decision to stay, especially when it’s hard.

So never forget to thank the man who still chooses you every single day.

One of the main guilty acts of Fauci is not the claim that he got the COVID origin wrong at first. It's that he and his Lancet crew fabricated a certainty about COVID's origins they plainly did not possess -- due to entirely self-interested reasons (namely, their careers and reputations would be endangered if COVID had been caused by gain-of-function and other Wuhan research they funded and participated it).

They then weaponized that fake, deceitful certainty to label anyone who suggested a lab leak as a racist (which never made sense, since the "wet market" theory was always the more racist one), and then also used that non-existent certainty to bully and coerce media outlets and Big Tech to aggressively censor anyone questioning or dissenting from their proclamation.

The complete shutdown of debate, discussion and dissent over some of the this century's most consequential policies was one of the main crimes. That they did this not out of good faith error but crass self-advancement and self-protection made it all the worse.

Things are going to get pretty hot soon, at both ends.

More actors are going to join the conflict, and it will escalate not from Trump's hands, but matching his objectives.

Any modern commercial greenhouse will boost CO₂ levels artificially to between 1,000 ppm and 1,200 ppm—nearly triple outdoor conditions worldwide.

In controlled glasshouse environments, this heightening of CO₂ supercharges crop yields by 20% to well over 40% for staples like tomatoes and peppers.

This is why greenhouse operators spend millions pumping it into their enclosures—the biological return on investment is immediate.

This biological miracle is not only found in greenhouses any more. It's happening in the open fields and arid regions throughout the world. CO₂ has climbed to roughly 426 ppm, powering a green revolution across desert margins and many formerly barren landscapes, such as the Sahal in Africa.

This global greening wave is visible from space and has been measured by NASA satellites. It covers twice the area of two United States.

The climate change bureaucracy declared that rising CO₂ would lead to droughts, floods and food scarcity. The ice caps would melt, flooding many coastal cities. Drought or rainfall would become the norm. These baseless fears were based almost entirely on worst-scenario computer models. That is not how it's turning out.

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'.

For C3 crops, like wheat, rice and potatoes, the extra CO₂ has been an instant stimulant, driving growth and expanding biomass. CO₂ 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.

This data comes from a landmark study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which used satellite tracking to measure the exact impact of CO₂ fertilisation on broadacre field crops.

CO₂ has been painted as an agent of crisis by the climate change bureaucracy, led by the United Nations.

Yet science proves once again that this miracle molecule is the world's primary engine of green agricultural abundance.

Victory against Iran depends heavily on a surge in production of sophisticated missiles and drones virtually overnight.

America’s Defense Industries cannot meet this objective without a massive overhaul of procurement and production.

[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

The US government managing to so effectively suppress the price of oil, a natural resource existing in finite quantities, tells you they could lower and control the prices of everything, from food to real estate, if they wanted to do it. Only they don't.

Put differently: the only time the US did something for affordability, it was to support a war effort

[Lukas Ekwueme @ekwufinance]

So to sum things up:

- The US encouraged ships to violate the MoU.
- Iran warned ships not to use the Omani lane.
- Iran blew up ships using that lane.
- And closed the Strait.
- The US bombed Iran to reopen the Strait.
- Now they've stopped bombing Iran.
- The Strait is still closed.
- The Houthis disrupted Bab el-Mandeb.
- The Houthis targeted key Saudi oil export infrastructure.

How fucked up is this?

[Eric Nuttall @ericnuttall]

Strait of Hormuz entry traffic remains at ~5% of normal (7 day avg.), ~6.5MM Bbl/d of production remains shut-in, Saudi energy infrastructure getting hit by Houthis, SPRs on fumes, and yet oil has fallen by 9% in 2 days. Perplexing to many of us.

Breaking news from the delivery room: Parents are saying “No thanks” to the standard newborn protocol.

More moms and dads are declining the routine vitamin K shot, Hep B vaccine at birth, and the whole “just in case” bundle. Refusal rates have skyrocketed in the last year — and it’s not rebellion. It’s research.

When mom tests negative for Hep B and baby isn’t heading into a high-risk lifestyle on day one, many families are asking: Why poke a brand-new human with toxic injections they do not need?

The Hep-B injection gained FDA & CDC approval from only 5 days of 'safety monitoring' of only 147 children, and no saline placebo was used... that is not a safety study.

The synthetic Vitamin K injection is just that... it is NOT a natural food sourced real vitamin. It is a synthetic lab created chemical... which carries a BLACK BOX WARNING in the package insert for seizures, anaphylaxis and death.

This is **informed consent** in action. Parents protecting their littlest ones by questioning the script instead of blindly following it.

A quiet, powerful shift toward trusting our bodies’ natural design.

If you’re in the “do your own homework” camp, this one feels like a win.

[Hodgetwins @hodgetwins]

Republicans actually think calling Democrats “Dumocrats” and communists is enough to win elections. If this Iran war drags on and gas and grocery prices keep climbing, voters won’t give a damn about those childish talking points when it’s time to cast a ballot.

[Tomthunkit™ @TomthunkitsMind]

The most logical reason that Trump called of the invasion of Iran is the fact that Iran hit almost all the US staging areas with preemptive strikes. Like Israel did to Egypt in the Six Day War.

Excluding Israel, Iran destroyed billions of dollars of US military assets, equipment, and bases.

[Lukas Ekwueme @ekwufinance]

We are moving towards a sovereign debt crisis.

Countries around the world, especially in the developed world, used the artificially low interest rate environment to massively increase their debt burden.

Governments basically made a massive bet that interest rates would keep falling, or never rise again. Even as rates went negative...

Guess what happened?

Interest rates didn't merely rise... they surged.

Since 2019/2021:

- US 10-year yield: increased ~6x
- Japan 10-year yield: 0.3% -> 2.7%
- Germany 10-year yield: -0.4% -> 3%

Former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan put it best:

"The US can pay any debt it has, because we can always print money to do that."

Just look at the other guy as he slowly realizes what he just said...

They won't default...

They will inflate the debt away by destroying the currency and your savings.

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

Earth is still bound to the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, and our planet's average global temperature still hovers around a very livable 15°C.

This is far below the world's long-term planetary average of 18°C to 24°C - seen throughout most of Earth's biological history. It makes the idea of a global warming crisis seem out of sync with reality.

Despite four decades of continuous climate alarmism, roughly 10% of the Earth's total land area remains permanently capped by glacial ice, which covers 15 million square kilometers (5.8 million square miles).

That is nearly a third of its extent during the peak of the Last Glacial Maximum (26,000 to 19,000 years ago), when continental ice sheets reached their historical zenith.

The Antarctic ice sheet remains the largest and thickest body of ice on the planet, extending up to 4.8 kilometers (about 3 miles) deep. It holds roughly 90% of global ice volume and accounts for 85% of total glacial land cover. Spanning 14 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles), Antarctica alone makes up 8.3% of Earth's total land surface.

A basic geographical reality is often forgotten: land comprises a mere 28% of the planet's surface. All human cities, towns, and infrastructure combined occupy just 1% to 3% of that land (while deserts take up 33% and forests 31%).

We live on an ocean world, and waters cover 72% of the globe to an average depth of 2.3 miles.

Crucially, the oceans hold 86% of the global carbon reservoir and absorb over 90% of retained thermal energy. By contrast, the atmosphere holds a fraction of a percent of each. The oceans—not human industrial activity—serve as the true long-term regulatory engine for atmospheric carbon dioxide and global climate stability.

The current Quaternary Glaciation is part of an ice age cycle that began 34 million years ago with the thermal isolation and glaciation of Antarctica, later intensified by the closure of the Isthmus of Panama and orbital variations (Milankovitch cycles).

Carbon dioxide was not the driver of these immense shifts.

All of human civilisation, agriculture and technological progress has unfolded within a brief, warm respite: the Holocene interglacial period, which began just 11,700 years ago.

Yet for 40 years, the narrative has been dominated by a campaign driven by an unaccountable bureaucratic authority—the United Nations—pushing an agenda of global control.

The promised catastrophe of runaway, unprecedented warming never arrived.

[Sina Toossi @SinaToossi]

Trump restarted the war because he wanted ships to abandon Iran’s designated route through Hormuz for the U.S.-backed route. Weeks later, after major escalation & Brent going back above $100, every transiting vessel is using Iran’s designated route. None are using the US route.

[Ellen R. Wald Ph.D.🛢 @EnergzdEconomy]

last time Abqaiq was offline Brent jumped 20%, then settled back to just a 10% increase.

This was with no other disruptions & Aramco had full capacity in its storage facilities to satisfy customers.

Today? prices are down.

Something is wrong.

[David Pyne 🇺🇸 @AmericaFirstCon]

When the war broke out, I predicted that it would prove politically disastrous for Trump unless he ended it quickly. Now, one pollster is reporting that the number of Republican and Republican leaning independents who identify as MAGA has decreased by one-third since Trump started his Deep State forever war in the Middle East five months ago.
