The US government is now supporting Bukele to send hundreds of special forces to rescue the 4 El Salvadoran air personnel taken hostage by Haitian gangs. Is this what you voted for?

Six days after Oct. 7th, I went on the PBD Podcast and asked a series of questions about what Israeli intelligence failures happened that allowed Hamas to massacre 1,200 civilians. The clip went viral and I was attacked as an antisemite and called worse than a "Holocaust denier." But now my instincts have been vindicated by a recent bombshell report proving Israel knew Hamas's attack plans more than a year in advance — they called it "Jericho wall" — and the plans were shared widely with intelligence and defense officials. Now many more questions must be answered: Why did Israeli intelligence officials, when notified of unusual activity in Gaza on Oct 6, not put one-and-one together that the planned attack was about to unfold? Why did it it take between 6 and even 20 hours for the IDF to get help to the communities massacred by terrorists? I stand with Israel and it's offensive against Hamas, but the US should not send one more penny to Israel until we have answers to these questions. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Just put 80$ worth of diesel in my truck… and it’s not even half full…. But hey.. at least the greater Israel project is on track

Why isn't financial education taught every year in school? It is by far the most important topic to cover.

The dead cat continues to bounce. What is Bitcoin, 17 years later? It’s not great for transactions or smart contracts; the user experience is still intimidating for most, and it’s no longer capturing the public’s imagination. If it comes up at the dinner party, it's followed by a hearty “remember that!” It’s a boring store of value, trusted as that—which is its biggest value. It's boring. Folks expect bitcoin to be stable and that it’s no longer a way to get rich quick. Institutions embracing and accumulating it took $btc from punk rock to Muzak. Advocates went from pirates to suits in orange ties, awkwardly sharing cringe memes — just like the cool kids do! If Bitcoin were going to reach mass adoption and an important use case, it does better than anyone else, it would have by now. Bitcoin feels like the CD in the age of Spotify, the DVD in the age of Netflix — a bridge technology that folks who invested in “their collection” keep saying is the better experience. Perhaps bitcoin is vinyl, cool memories and fun to drag out and put on display, but a technology that served us to get to where we are now.

.@POTUS announces the TRUMP DIVIDEND: If Republicans win both the House and the Senate, because of our tremendous economic success, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States for $5,000

It's nice to see my timeline filled with tributes to Wendell Berry, encouraging to know that there is a vast network of people inspired by his work. It would be wonderful if his passing unleashed a fresh wave of energy towards healing the land and it's people, he would enjoy that

Should we return to the gold standard?

Call me a prude, but I do not like public officials using the "f -word" in public, where little kids can hear it or even proper adults don't like it.

Now we just need Gigi back.

The rumour is we’re back. So back.
