This broke my heart ... again.
A bereaved father searching for his 4 children under the rubble, after #Israeli bombardment wiped out an entire square in Al Burij Camp in central #Gaza. The cameraman keeps telling him they are in Heaven.

There are two things the US cannot afford:
• Rate hikes
• A prolonged, costly war
Yet those are precisely what’s driving the selloff in hard assets.
Not too many times in history do you get the chance to buy gold at oversold levels during a secular bull market.
Act accordingly.

Foreign government ownership of US Treasuries just reached the lowest share in history.
The world isn't keeping up with America's exploding debt issuance.
That may prove to be one of the most important monetary shifts of our time.
None of us own enough hard assets.

@dedollared@DanielLDavis1 1) Where does the buck stop?
2) The majority of Americans are opposed to this war. (So perhaps Trump’s intended audience are the Zionists…)
One of the many tragedies of this war is that before the war began the U.S. Intel Community, including CIA, was in agreement that Iran wasn't developing a nuclear weapon & that Iran would target U.S. bases in the region & shut down the Strait of Hormuz if they were attacked by Israel & the U.S.
The IC also properly assessed that targeting the Iranian leadership would strengthen the regime and embolden the hardliners.
Despite the professionalism & accuracy of the IC, the narrative & agenda spun by a foreign government- Israel, won the argument & forced us into this war.
We need to understand exactly how this happened to ensure we are never put in this position again.
This is huge and confirms that the notion that the Saudis were quietly backing the US war on Iran was a complete myth.
It never made sense to start with: given the eminently predictable devastating consequences the war has had on Saudi Arabia, why on earth would they have signed up for it?
It also confirms that the Saudis - and, I suspect, many other actors in the region - no longer see US military presence on their soil as a a security guarantee, but instead as a vector of insecurity.
Which is another way in which Iran is winning strategically. Many people were wondering what possible strategic calculus Iran could have in "mindlessly bombing all their neighbors," as many were putting it. Well, the whole point was precisely so those neighbors would do exactly what the Saudis just did. Q.E.D.
