I wrote about the recent spate of anti-Zionist violence against American Jews and how such assaults just make Zionism's argument for it. "The unwitting agents of Zionism throughout history have been those unwilling to tolerate Jews in their own countries." Gift link to the full piece:

He should RTO and make sure to send the shareholders a list of five things he’s accomplished every week
A group of activist Tesla shareholders are calling on CEO Elon Musk to devote at least 40 hours a week to the company after he spent much of the past year focused on federal politics.
Tesla investors ask board to make Musk work full-time
Some skeptical backers of the EV company have asked its board to add a ‘new, truly independent’ member.

The $400 million Qatar is spending to bribe Donald Trump with a luxury plane is $400 million they can’t use to fund Hamas. Trump may have just wrapped up the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump's "big" trade deal is with the UK:
- It's a framework not a deal
- They're our 11th largest trading partner
- They're only 3% of US trade (97% to go)
- They *already* charge average tariffs of only 1% (limited upside)
It's a photo op, not a macroeconomically significant moment.
