When I worked in the Middle East in the 1990s, an Egyptian doctor (3ducated in the US) told me that powerful Emiratis and Saudis abducted poor children to use them as sex slaves, organ donors or for snuff videos. I thought he was full of shit.
And here we are.

I bought a set of windshield wiper blades for $75 the other day. They were Bosch top of the line but that’s crazy. I asked the clerk if that was because of tariffs. She said yes. We both laughed and rolled our eyes! 🙄

There's a reason that they've hidden the real GDP numbers since Trump took office.
They *started* with a measure that was going to tank them: DOGE.
Their vile immigration policies have impacted many industries, the insane tariff policies hitting all of them.

My company uses lots BLS data. We’re having a meeting next month where our data guru will tell us how the numbers are being messed with. Should be interesting. Will we continue to use the data? Or will we look at alternatives that now will be better data than government data? Glad I’m retiring soon.

Oh, and Leon Black is part of the financing group for a billion dollar LNG terminal that will be fully owned by Western LNG owned by Blackstone.

All the prices were up again today at the grocery. China advises limiting US exposure. We've tanked the economy, we're killing hundreds of thousands of people via bailing on USAID. Trump, his administration, and his tech bros have made billions. We're at war with the nicest state in the Midwest.

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

I recently read and recommend Sibylle Grimbert's The Last of Its Kind, translated by Aleshia Jensen. A reflective, tragic tale of an 1830s naturalist who captures a great auk, then bonds with it. As he realizes the species is going extinct, he loses faith in science, humanity, everything. #booksky

The real history of the creation of the modern state of Israel is not what Jew haters have been spewing for decades. Israel was NOT created as a result of western imperialism. In fact, the Jews decolonized the land and kicked out the western imperialists who were doing
