Let me tell you a story about the Navy. The $1.2 billion USS Bonhomme Richard was destroyed by a fire in 2020 while it sat in the San Diego bay. The Navy blamed it on a white kid who was frustrated at the Navy’s incompetence, bureaucracy & sclerosis—tried to put him away for life Image
Image
Image
Image
After the white kid had been locked up for months (years?), halfway thru the trial to put him away for life, the prosecution admitted their original arson suspect was a “PoC” who actually had lots of evidence against him (unlike the white kid) but that they had to switch targets: Image
Image
Image
Image
It also later came out that the white kid had acted heroically & competently during the fire, unlike pretty much all of his pretty much all PoC peers, & that he’d raised specific concerns relating to the risk of fire that later consumed the ship. & this is what made them hate him Image

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: There's an old morality question, "If you could have, would you kill baby Hitler?"

No one ever asks about adult Hitler, let alone in 1943.

Tucker condemned attempts to KILL HITLER in the middle of WWII & the Holocaust — because it would be un-Christian.

Again: Tucker said it would have been un-Christian to kill Hitler. In the midst of World War II & the Holocaust.

Specifically, Tucker on Wednesday condemned Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer — for supposedly rejecting Christianity by participating in covert attempts to assassinate Hitler. Tucker held up Bonhoeffer as a cautionary tale of what people today could become if you "start calling people Nazis."

This is the story of the man Tucker views as a cautionary tale:

Bonhoeffer was deeply involved in the German Resistance before and during WW II.

He was the first public critic of Hitler, giving a radio address warning about the emerging cult of the Führer on February 1, 1933, just two days after the Nazis took power. Bonhoeffer also helped found the Confessing Church — directly in response to the Nazi push to control and Aryanize the nation's Protestant churches.

In 1941, he joined the Abwehr (German military intelligence), allowing him to avoid Wehrmacht (military) service.

Crucially, Bonhoeffer used his Abwehr post as a cover for his role in multiple secret plots to overthrow or assassinate Hitler.

Through his official cover, Bonhoeffer was able to travel internationally and act as a courier between the Resistance and foreign contacts, such as the ecumenical movement in Switzerland and Sweden.

Bonhoeffer also was involved in Operation 7, the effort launched by his brother-in-law Hans von Dohnanyi to smuggle seven Jews and their family members to safety in Switzerland.

On April 5, 1943, Bonhoeffer was arrested by the Gestapo on charges related to Operation 7 — which was deemed to be both treason and an undermining of the war effort, since military intelligence resources were used to save Jews.

At the time of his arrest, the Nazis did not know about the assassination plots, let alone Bonhoeffer's role in them.

After Hitler survived the infamous Operation Valkyrie "briefcase bomb" plot on July 20, 1944 (the subject of the Tom Cruise movie), the Gestapo soon learned of Bonhoeffer’s deep involvement in Abwehr efforts to topple the Nazi regime.

On April 8, 1945, an SS "drumhead court" completed a show trial by sentencing Bonhoeffer to death.

The next day, on April 9, 1945 — just weeks before the European front of the war ended — Bonhoeffer was hanged at the Flossenbürg concentration camp, alongside several "co-conspirators."

Despite Tucker's insinuation that Bonhoeffer had turned away from Christianity, his faith actually strengthened leading up to his execution.

Notes found after the war show that Bonhoeffer prayed daily, wrote meditations on Psalms, and had theological discussions — even with guards.

Bonhoeffer gave sermons, some of which he prepared in solitary confinement, and he held clandestine worship services for his fellow prisoners.

His SS interrogators, in fact, complained that he was “too religious.”

Found in Gestapo notes were these two quotes:

“Bonhoeffer persists in religious delusion.”

“He speaks of Christ as if Christ were alive.”

Bonhoeffer’s burning, intense faith never dwindled, as further evidenced by his final recorded words:

“This is the end—for me, the beginning of life.”

---

With the benefit of context regarding Bonhoeffer, here is the full text of what Tucker said:

"Because once you start calling people Nazis, we really have no choice but to start shooting them... to be Dietrich Bonhoeffer, to reach the end of reason, or even Christianity. Bonhoeffer decided that Christianity's not even, he was a Lutheran pastor, Christianity's not enough, we have to kill the guy [Hitler]. I'm not judging Bonhoeffer, who was a great man in some ways. But that's inevitable once we decide that some people are Nazis."

"Have you sent it?"

"I have sent it since. Release."

The survey didn't find Christians going pro-choice.

It found spectators in church pews.

We've been measuring attendance.
We should have been counting disciples.

The numbers tell the whole story 🧵
First, who was surveyed?

Adults attending a church at least once a month. Online counts. No doctrinal filter.

This an update to a similar study done in 2023 repeated now in 2025.

15% of respondents were non-Christian.
(Up 1% from ‘23) Image
Between those two snapshots what people in those pews believe about God, salvation, and Scripture changed significantly.

Now watch what happened downstream when it did…

सिर्फ़ ईरान ही क्यों, महबूबा को एक कदम आगे बढ़कर ये भी बताना चाहिए कि 13 से 30 की उम्र के बीच, जब बायबिल में ईसा मसीह के जीवन का कोई जिक्र नहीं मिलता, तब वे भारत आए थे और बौद्ध व हिंदू दर्शन का अध्ययन किया था। खानयार में रौजाबल दरगाह है और यहीं युज आसफ की कब्र भी है। यहूदियों के मूसा भी कश्मीर ही आए थे.. बांदीपोरा में अहातम शरीफ के पास एक पर्वत का नाम ही कोह ए मुसा है। मूसा ने यहाँ इबादत की थी। कश्मीर में हिंदुओं के अलावा तमाम अब्राहमिक अवधारणाएँ बाहर से ही आई हैं। महबूबा मुफ्ती का बयान इसी बात की तस्दीक करता है।Image

- שקרים, צביעות וזיכרון סלקטיבי -
 
הפרשן המשפטי הנודע, שמחלטר גם כפרשן לענייני כל דבר אחר, פירסם בסוף השבוע טור, שעסק – איך לא – בסאגת בקשת החנינה שהגיש נתניהו לנשיא המדינה.
 
אנחנו נתמקד בחלקו הראשון של הטור, שעשוי ללמד אותנו לא מעט על האופן שבו מתנהלת התעמולה בשירות נתניהו. >> Image
אם ננסה לסכם את האמור בקטע הרלבנטי (שאר הטור הוא לרלרת חסרת משמעות וחשיבות) – בשנים האחרונות נוצרה "תאונה" בין "הימין" לבין "מערכת המשפט".
 
יאמר לזכותו, שסגל כבר לא מנסה להתחבא מאחורי קשקושי "משילות", ואומר את הדברים כפשוטם: הכל תוצאה של "משפט נתניהו", כלומר של "תיקי האלפים". >> Image
במילים אחרות, סגל מודה ש-"הימין התלכד סביב רפורמה משפטית" בעקבות העובדה ש-"מערכת המשפט" החצופה העזה להעמיד לדין את בנימין נתניהו.

זה הסיפור האמיתי מאחורי "הרפורמה", ויריב לוין לא היה מתמנה לשר המשפטים אלמלא הבוס שלו הסתבך בפלילים, ושינה את דעותיו על מערכת המשפט מקצה לקצה. >>

Three major misunderstandings are distorting the Iran War
These three represent lingering hopes for a quick victory
But hoping Iran will bail us out is not a strategy
This war is entering a long strategic game—and we need to see how it actually works
Misunderstanding #1: “The war is mainly about Iran’s military capabilities”
No. The war right now is a race
A race between the rising global price of oil and Iran’s shrinking supply of drones
The U.S. can destroy drones, but fast enough to head off months of $120 p/b oil?
If oil prices rise faster than Iran’s drone arsenal falls, Iran wins the race
That’s Iran’s leverage
Misunderstanding #2: “This war will end quickly”
Washington says the conflict could end in weeks
But war is a two-actor game
Iran has no incentive to reopen Hormuz before U.S. politics turns toxic
By summer, the war becomes a political crisis in Washington
That’s Iran’s timing

🚨 EXCLUSIVE — Tucker Carlson just said that Bibi Netanyahu's rhetoric is worse than Hitler's ever was.

This was two hours after the terrorist attack targeting the Detroit-area Jewish preschool.

Tucker said that Hitler hadn't "ever" called to "exterminate" the Jews.

Like with so much of what Tucker says these days, this is a sadly common theme in white nationalist and neo-Nazi circles.

In order to believe this insanity, let alone repeat it out loud, however, one would have to be intentionally ignorant of history.

Tucker somehow tops this, though, by fusing it together with a stunning level of Biblical illiteracy.

Pretending not to understand that Bibi Netanyahu's references to "Amalek" are simply a political ralling cry to define the Iranian Mullahs as determined enemies of Israel, Tucker claims Bibi is somehow calling for the murder of all Iranian civilians.

Never mind that Bibi Netanyahu and the vast majority of pro-Israel accounts on X have not only supported, but openly praised the brave Iranian people who have continued protesting the regime despite the 40K+ protesters murdered by the Mullahs.

But nothing compares to Tucker's glazing of Hitler.

In a January 1939 Reichstag speech, Hitler explicitly called for "the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe."

Almost four years later, as the Holocaust was in full swing in November 1942, Hitler took a victory lap regarding his own "prophecy" from 1939.

In a speech in Munich commemorating the anniversary of his failed 1923 "Beer Hall Putsch," Hitler said:

"You will remember the Reichstag session at which I declared that if Jewry succeeded in bringing about a world war, the result would be the annihilation of Jewry in Euroape.

This prophecy is now being fulfilled.”

There is substantially more evidence, of course, not that it would matter to Tucker or others echoing this bizarre Hitler denialism.

Just as this evidence hasn't mattered to the legions of neo-Nazis and others who have parroted this exact claim for decades.

It was given the thinnest possible veneer of legitimacy from infamous Holocaust denier "historian" David Irving, a facade that long ago was shattered.

But in recent years, the falsehood that Hitler didn't call for exterminating the Jews has been peddled by the Institute for Historical Review, which is funded by Ron Unz of the Unz Review.

Perhaps not coincidentally, @buckleycarlson loves the Unz Review — as he discussed when interviewed by his brother Tucker.

In short, Tucker glazing Hitler was not some mistake or momentary spell of ignorance.

Just like when Tucker held up Bonhoeffer as a warning of the worst example people could choose to follow.

This is all part and parcel of who Tucker has become.
Less than 24 hours after Tucker flirted with Holocaust denial on this livestream — where @ClaytonMorris & his co-host simply nod along — @megynkelly refused to call a "terrorist" the jihast who rammed his explosive-laden truck into a Jewish preschool.

Claude + NotebookLM seems like a dangerous combo 🤯

One student used them to pass a university exam on a subject they had never studied before.

48 hours. Zero prior knowledge. Full marks.

See how it works 👇👇
Step 1: Upload Everything You Can Find

Before asking a single question upload every source related to your subject. Lecture slides, textbooks, past exam papers, research articles, YouTube transcript links, anything. The more you give NotebookLM the more powerful every single prompt becomes. Quality of input determines quality of output.
Step 2: Map the Entire Subject in One Prompt

Open NotebookLM and start with this prompt:

"What are the 5 core concepts that every expert in this subject must understand before anything else? For each concept give me a plain language explanation, why it matters and how it connects to the other 4 concepts."

This gives you the skeleton of the entire subject in minutes instead of weeks.

🧵Distractions Make Us Stupid…

Just the other day, I was chilling in this bustling eatery with my crew, when—bam—another phone lets out that sharp, piercing whistle. You know the one: the iconic iPhone tweet notification, that cheeky little siren call screaming, "Look at me!" It's like the universal beacon of distraction, pulling minds into digital voids everywhere.

Ads whispering your deepest desires? Not magic, just data voodoo. Shake off the spell, peeps— the matrix glitches when we stop buying the illusion. Poof! ✨

Distractions Make Us Stupid

True story: Stanford brainiacs rounded up two crews for some mind-bending tests—one gang of chronic media jugglers, flipping between tabs like pros, and the other chill folks who kept it simple. Spoiler alert: The heavy multitaskers bombed every single challenge. They got sidetracked at the drop of a hat, couldn't wrangle their focus for squat, and struggled big time to sift gold from the garbage. Wake up, world—time to glitch out of this matrix mess! 💫Image
“Distractions Make Us Stupid”

Ever notice how your phone buzzes right when you're about to have a real thought? Coincidence? Nah, that's the matrix's snooze button, keeping you scrolling instead of soaring. Wake up, glitch-hunters! 🚀

Glitches in the matrix: When your GPS sends you in circles, or news flips faster than a politician's promise. Spoiler: It's designed to dizzy you. Time to debug the dream, dreamers! 🛠️
Distractions Make Us Stupid”

Social media 'likes' as life's scorecard? Pfft, that's the ultimate distraction trap. Real wins happen offline, where the chicanery can't curate your chaos. Unplug and uprising! ❤️‍🔥

The current market for VOL is odd with little historical comparison.

Implied vol is high relative to realised (25v ~= 1.5% daily move) and while hedgers have been making money after theta since early Feb, it's marginal.

The correlations and unique env means it will persist.

1/ Image
2/ The short answer is VIX futures are trading with the oil price like the oil price was a credit spread (which is a measure of risk premium).

This is no different to what happened in past credit crises where the epicentre asset class drives risk premia elsewhere. Image
3/ The asset that is the focus will have a variable effect on risk premia.

Going back to credit spreads - senior bank CDS at 150bp isn't a "I need to dump everything" level, but it is riskier than 75bp at a time when everyone is focused on bank credit quality.
