Well reasoned argument

They told you that America is an idea so they could replace Americans Which inevitably replaces the ideas they believe in
Ozone Park, NYC. This was 85% white in the 1990s. Today, it's 13% white.

Just all so tiresome...
BREAKING: "Speculative data center debt is being repackaged and sold to pension and retirement funds, university endowments, and other institutional investors in a manner eerily reminiscent of the subprime bubble," per AFR

And a FOX News team who thought we could start a war, betray the voters, and not destroy the Republican Party, again. Thanks Team Neocon! I know, let's nominate Rubio!

We have a president who thought he could make a deal with Moscow and a vice president who thought he could make a deal with Tehran.

NYU Prof. Aswath Damodaran, the world's leading valuation expert, estimates that all AI products generate only ~$250 BILLION in revenue a year. This year, the four biggest hyperscalers are spending ~$725 BILLION on AI data centers. WELCOME TO THE AI BUBBLE.

Why is the @StateDept denying entry to a Christian priest and a Christian pastor, especially known for promoting peace? This is outrageous.
🚨BREAKING: 2 Palestinian Christian leaders from Bethlehem DENIED ENTRY TO U.S. Significantly, Fr. Issa Thaljieh and Rev. Munther Isaac had been invited to speak in the U.S. on how Americans are kept from seeing the plight of Palestinian Christians. Our report: vppnews.substack.com/p/west-…

Democrats reminding everyone they love war more than anybody.
Ukraine’s fight is our fight, too. If Putin succeeds, America and our allies will be less safe. That’s why I’ve stood with Ukraine from the beginning and why I’ll keep fighting to make sure Ukrainians have what they need to defend their country and their freedom.

Outrage in Germany after it became public that a Syrian migrant with 3 wives, 32 children and 25 grandchildren, with 70% of the entire family having a criminal record, receives €100,000 a year in welfare. Sounds like Australia

“Hey folks, so I completely destroyed the economy and you are going to be poor. I’m really sorry about that. Maybe we can do better next time. Anyway, I have a dinner reservation in an hour and I need to go. Bye.”
JUST IN: 🇩🇪 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz admits that the German economy is in big trouble: “Our economy is under enormous pressure. That is why we need reforms. We need reforms now, not at some point in the future, but now.”

Chicago is gone.
"Chicago loses its third chief financial officer in a year after she said staying in the job would destroy her integrity" Ashlee Gabrysch, 42, left her role after just three months in a move that has shocked many in the Windy City. "The Chief Financial Officer’s statements about city finances are not idle chatter: they are relied upon by investors, ratings agencies, City Council, and taxpayers. The CFO must act scrupulously to ensure they are always accurate and complete." "It has become apparent, however, that to continue in this role would be to compromise my integrity and professional obligations. I therefore have concluded that I must step down from my role, and hereby tender my resignation." #municipalfinance dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Another investor- fueled homebuying operation showing signs of trouble.
Interesting Invitation Homes' earnings continue to show softness in the SFR rental market. Renewal rent growth remains positive at +4.3% lease-over-lease, but new lease rent growth is still mildly negative (-0.2% lease-over-lease), a sign that pricing power on new move-ins is soft Giant SFR landlord Invitation Homes wholly owns around 86K single-family rentals -> Follow @ResiClub_HQ

🇮🇱🇺🇸 While America was staring at grounded planes, Israel's spy chief was in Washington pushing to restart the Iran war Every departing flight in the country sat on the tarmac today, and the cameras were all pointed at airports. Meanwhile Mossad director Roman Gofman, one of Netanyahu's closest confidants, was meeting CIA chief John Ratcliffe, with a stop in Miami to see Witkoff next, according to Axios. This comes days after that reported shouting match on the phone, where Trump refused to resume the strikes. So what do you do when the president tells you no? Apparently you send your spy chief to work on his staff, on a day when the whole country is distracted. What a coincidence right? Source: Axios, Times of Israel / Writer: Daniel

We have a real Pope.
Pope Leo incentivises young people to get married and have kids ✝️ “If I previously said do not be afraid to think about a vocation, marriage is also a vocation. Do not be afraid of marriage and of forming a family”

Se terminó la tontería, el Papá León XIV se harta de la agenda woke y afirma que “Solo existen el hombre y la mujer. El resto no” Hace falta dar la batalla cultural y espiritual contra esta ideología maligna. Empieza a caerme bien.
