Something unexpected happened at #Davos Jamie Dimon, hardly a socialist firebrand, openly called out the dysfunction at the heart of the global system. Not in activist language. Not in moral rhetoric. But in blunt, managerial terms. Dimon argued that targeted public spending,…

Some of you asked for my take on this operation (video coming this week). Here is my take on Venezuela. We’re told a Delta team walked in, faced zero resistance, and somehow pulled off a clean grab, no man wounded even though Maduro was supposedly armed to the teeth and wrapped…

One of the best television episodes ever produced. The show got special permission to film at @ArlingtonNatl after the Defense Department loved the script that was written.

You only have to look at the thread under the Tomahawk post to see how many of us in this country all seemed to share something very special at the same time in different parts of the country. Before tech really hit, when many of our toys were meant for outdoors and Wheb we…

As life passes us by I realise that the times that everyone told us would be the best times of our lives, actually were. I would give so much to have one more family Christmas with parents and grandparents even though I pretended to hate it at the time I miss those days 😢❤️

The Western elite's mad fury is driven by a sense of eternal loss. Inspired by resilient Russia and China, the world they've bled dry since 1500 rejects their dominion and plunder. Don't sacrifice your lives for them. They're no longer anyone's Masters. x.com/i/status/20007…

It’s true that the US’s higher GDP relative to Europe is partly explained by longer working hours rather than productivity. But there’s another factor that’s often ignored: the US’s poor health and extractive healthcare system 🧵
