Thomas Sowell: "The percentage of cabinet appointments with experience in the private sector:
Dwight Eisenhower: 60%
George W. Bush: 50%
Barack Obama: 20%
This is the reason why things have declined the way they have."
A lot has been said about concessions to Iran, what they mean, whether the final result overcomes them.
But the biggest concession came before the MOU was ever signed: Letting Pakistan mediate.
Pakistan. Freaking Pakistan.
🇱🇧 🚫 🇮🇷 Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, in a fiery message to the Iranian regime:
“This is not your country. It’s our country. It’s not your job to interfere in our country. They are using Lebanon as a bargaining chip in their negotiations with the U.S. It’s unacceptable.”

Juneteenth isn’t some organic black triumph. It’s a Black Lives Matter achievement and it is a white guilt holiday.
Most Americans never heard of it or cared until the George Floyd riots in 2020. It was mostly a local holiday or celebrated within certain black communities for years. Suddenly it’s a federal holiday. And after America told the George Floyd protesters, tell us what will make you happy. And now we have this black power/white guilt virtue signaling holiday.
The core image of Juneteenth is a white Union Army general riding into Texas a year too late to tell slaves they’re free. That’s the “celebration.”
There are real achievements by blacks worth celebrating. Inventors, Tuskegee Airmen, war heroes, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, etc. But those don’t let whites wallow in white guilt or buy easy absolution. So Juneteenth is truly and will be forever a white guilt holiday.
If you think Iran’s use of leverage over the Strait is going to stop with this, you’re a moron.
We’ve handed them a trump card over the world economy, and they’ll be using it a lot throughout these “negotiations.”
Buckle up.
