🇺🇸 Gold fell back under $4,000 this week and the bond market still lost to it by 138 points since 2022... and the math behind the buying has half of Washington's income going to interest within a decade Washington took in $5.2 trillion last year, its best haul ever, and Peter runs the math: 5% on the $50 trillion the budget office projected for 2035 is $2.5 trillion a year in interest, about half of what came in. Peter Grandich, a 42-year Wall Street veteran who dumped gold in January and went fully back in on Friday, gives investors one rule for what's coming: "Don't try to win. Just try not to lose." Peter says Wall Street generalists started buying physical gold in the last 12 months because the old 60/40 portfolio is turning into 60/20/20 with gold taking part of the bond slot, and that with over 60% of market money now in passive funds, the next downturn won't be normal, because index funds have to sell into it. Add fertilizer shortages out of the Gulf and the next phase of this war shows up at the grocery store, which means the fight over who pays the interest starts long before 2035. @WeTheBrandon @PeterGrandich

🇺🇸 Rubio on Trump: “Well, he’s a historic figure; there’s no doubt about it. He’s not an orthodox political figure. He’s not a politician at all! He's visionary. He imagines what people say is impossible. He thinks things that people say, ‘We can't do it because that's never been done before,’ and then he achieves them.” He is certainly a visionary and has some pretty bold ideas for what things should look like. Take the Reflecting Pool, Trumpy Arch, and the Ballroom as prime examples. He’s struggling with the achievement part! Writer: Jamie t.co/8WKCuEbauR

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel’s former PM Naftali Bennett just made his Palestinian policy very clear “I will not hand over a single centimeter of land from this country to the Palestinians.” He’s one of the main challengers trying to unseat Netanyahu in Tuesday’s election. Swap Netanyahu for Bennett, and the Palestinians still get the same answer. Writer: Daniyal t.co/ZTlksnFHbe

🇺🇸Rubio insists new visa restrictions hitting Indian workers and students are global, not targeted. “It happens to impact Indians that want to come to the United States and work, and that our businesses are trying to bring in.” Last year Trump ordered a $100,000 H-1B visa fee that hit many skilled workers from India.

🇮🇱🇺🇸 A Pulitzer winner says Zionism began as a Protestant fantasy a century before Herzl, and the Jews who warned it would bring endless war were branded self-hating... a new book brings them back from exile Palestine was 95 to 97% non-Jewish when the movement began, and one early leader's goal was to make it as Jewish as England is English, so Jewish critics called the project a catastrophe from day one. Benjamin Moser, whose grandfather fled Nazi Germany in 1938, says: "Zionism has nothing to do with the Holocaust. Zionism exploited the Holocaust." Benjamin says Hannah Arendt hinted at Zionist dealings with the Nazis in Eichmann in Jerusalem and was hounded so completely that the Jewish press barely marked her death. He argues a Star of David on every tank means the backlash to Israel's conduct puts all Jews in grave danger, which is why the anti-Zionist Jews he writes about are screaming themselves hoarse to say this is not us. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸 A rare look inside the most secretive and elite selection in the Navy: only the best SEALs get invited to try out for SEAL Team 6... and roughly 3 out of 4 still don’t make it Former SEAL DJ Shipley recalls walking into a screen test that’s double what it takes to get into BUD/S, with only one piece of advice going in: “You have to have a perfect day every day.” The operators scoring you all look like massive Vikings and are active members of DEVGRU(SEAL Team 6). After a grueling, months-long process covering everything from CQB to jumping, they decide who stays, and the small fraction who make it hear their names read, climb into trucks and run a full mission profile that SAME NIGHT. For the unit behind the bin Laden raid, this is as close to the inside as outsiders ever get. Source: @ShawnRyanShow / Writer: Daniel

🇺🇸 Obama: “And I didn't have to fire a missile to do it. I just had to engage in diplomacy.” The former president pointed out that the 2015 nuclear agreement blocked Iran’s path to a bomb... Meanwhile, Trump is only escalating tensions, hurtling the U.S. towards more conflict to solve a problem that was already handled. Writer: Bri t.co/kFrPiVngwF

🇧🇷 Scary moment in São Paulo, Brazil. A crane fell onto the monorail track, and with no time to stop, the monorail slammed right into it before the crane dropped onto the road below. Thankfully none of the passengers were hurt, though the crane operator was injured, and we hope he's okay. It could've been so much worse 🙏 Writer: Daniyal t.co/FtKmf2zbwl

🚨🇺🇸 Obama unleashes on War Secretary Hegseth at an Ohio rally: “Americans have been killed. Hundreds of Americans have been wounded. We have run down our stock of missiles, and Iran now has veto power over the Strait of Hormuz... Meanwhile, you’ve got the defense secretary who’s squarely focused on important matters like the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops. How much time do you think this Defense Secretary spends looking at himself in the mirror in the morning?” Only long enough to make sure he doesn’t have ‘Kegsbreath’, Mr. President. Those looks are all natural… no primping necessary! OH, it’s Secretary of War now, BTW. Writer: Jamie t.co/V9i5FC5u50

🇺🇸 A 24-year-old Coast Guard swimmer jumped into pitch-black waters and saved 16 lives. Josh Law was lowered from a helicopter into freezing Pacific waters, about 140 miles off Mexico's coast, after a boat carrying 27 people capsized. And the conditions were brutal. Waves up to 8 feet high, barely any visibility, and people scattered everywhere, some clinging to wreckage just to stay afloat. Law was the only rescue swimmer aboard the four-person helicopter crew. The others were busy flying, keeping the helicopter steady and lifting people out of the water. So for 90 minutes, he swam back and forth, dragging survivors to a rescue basket one by one, even as his own suit filled with water and started weighing him down. Some survivors had injuries consistent with shark bites, and Law even treated wounded passengers during the flight back. Sadly, 11 people were never found. Law admitted he was exhausted, but kept going because he knew the people struggling in the water had it far worse. An absolute fucking hero. Source: The Washington Times / Writer: Daniyal

🇹🇷 There was a DRONE CONTEST and Turkey TAKE THE TITLE at the first international military one Teams from 19 countries tackled a 23-obstacle course in Ankara. Turkey finished in 41.4 seconds, ahead of Pakistan, Italy and France. The army chief used the event to set a target of 10 million kamikaze systems in 10 years. Speed on a course is one thing. Building that many systems is the real test, and they passed. Source: Turkey Today / Writer: Lucas

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump was asked about the new intel warning that Iran has stepped up efforts to target U.S. personnel “They’re bad people. Very bad leadership.” He said Iran killed 75,000 protesters and a lot of Americans, and slammed the media for never writing about it. Writer: Daniyal t.co/lCb7kMC4cF

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Trump says the U.S. will “CERTAINLY do business with Ukraine AND with Russia after this war ends.” While Europe is focused on keeping Russia isolated, Trump is openly discussing what comes AFTER the sanctions and the war. For Trump, peace with Russia isn't just about ending the fighting. There's money to be made afterward. Writer: Oliver t.co/5R94wQ7EtG

🇵🇱 Poland's immigration numbers are changing FAST, and the scale may surprise people. According to figures attributed to Poland's official migration database, residents from a selected group of countries increased from just 3,554 in 2019 to 165,160 in 2026. That's more than a 46-FOLD increase. Among them are roughly 24,000 Indians, 15,000 Vietnamese, 13,000 Turks and 12,000 Colombians. For a country long known for its relatively restrictive approach to immigration, that's a significant demographic shift in just seven years. And much of the increase appears to have happened since 2022. Source: CIG on TG / Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸 Trump, after being asked about how people care about government corruption: "Well, because Democrats are very corrupt. Who do you write for?" and when the reporter answers: "WSJ" Trump roasted him: "You guys are worse than anybody." They never learn 😬🤣 Writer: Lucas t.co/owO1sjy1QU

🇺🇸 Trump says he doesn't want INNOCENT PEOPLE going through the same legal nightmare he faced during Biden's presidency. “It would be very unfair to go through what we went through for 4 years... I certainly don't want to see innocent people go through hell and lose all their money.” He would certainly know what that experience feels like. Writer: Oliver t.co/TUAL7Mgh7K

🇺🇸 Trump just gave Bill Clinton a surprisingly decent review, while showing Obama absolutely NO MERCY. “Obama was a lousy president. Clinton wasn’t bad. Outside of the scandals, he would've been a good president.” Apparently, Trump can forgive Clinton's politics. It's the scandals that ruined the performance review. Writer: Oliver t.co/CADiXnlrRP
