Gone. They're all gone 💔 An entire family, Tamar, Yonatan, their 6 yr old daughters Shahar & Arbel, and their 4 yr old son Omer. They were all slaughtered by Hamas terrorists who infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz. Just because they were Jews! I don't have the words. Only tears ...

In May 2021, @nytimes put photos of children killed in Gaza on its front page. Will its editors now put the faces of every Israeli child who has been murdered and kidnapped on its cover? Demand that they do.

Watching in disbelief as innocent Israeli citizens are being kidnapped by Hamas. The World needs to be united behind Israel. #IStandWithIsrael

"Inflation is in effect a hidden tax. The money that people have saved is robbed of part of its purchasing power, which is quietly transferred to the government that issues new money. It is a way to take people's wealth from them without having to openly raise taxes. Inflation is the most universal tax of all." — Thomas Sowell
She has two parents, both public school teachers, and points out what they were able to afford in the 1990s. Compared to what the typical incomes are today and the cost of housing, there is just no comparison. The massive inflation of the real estate market (hard assets) compared to real income indicates we are all getting poorer over time. The published government inflation data (housing, food and everything) is massively underreporting what is happening.

When @CPC_HQ forms government they just need to undo all the junk @liberal_party pushed through and they’ll be revered as the greatest government Canada has ever had.

As the autumn leaves fall, I’m reminded Seasons change, just as our lives do. But through it all, family remains our constant, grounding force. Grateful for these moments of reflection and the warmth they bring. 🍂

Today, we reflect on the painful legacy of residential schools and commit to healing and reconciliation with Indigenous communities. Let’s listen and get to work #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters

We shouldn’t be recycling the Bush 43 playbook & it’s shocking that this still represents mainstream GOP views. We should focus on deterring Chinese aggression, not waltzing into World War III. If someone crashes your car, don’t turn over the keys to the same guys to fix it. 🇺🇸
ATLANTA—Republican presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.) called for an increase in military spending on Friday, saying that the U.S. military needs to be able to simultaneously go to war with Russia, Iran, and China. buff.ly/47xfL8N

How refreshing is @VivekGRamaswamy - anyone who takes a few minutes to listen to him will be impressed. It is crazy that Joe Biden or Donald Trump are considered front runners when you have a candidate like Vivek in the mix. Rooting for him.

Populism now defined as wanting to maybe one day own a home and afford a family as so many columnists who write about “populism” do.

Had a post a few days ago about PZA.TO Royalty of a Canadian Pizza chain which is well established in Ontario and reaching to other parts of the country, lots of cash flow. Bombed some shares and had a nice week - Expansion into Mexico and potential huge market. Slowly learning dividend investing doesn’t have to be complicated. Pick good businesses and start stacking those bricks. PIZZA PIZZA ROYALTY CORP. ANNOUNCES STRONG SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/pi… via @YahooFinanceCA

Oil prices rising.. energy stocks moving up?

Got to check out the Johnny Manziel Netflix special, highly recommend it. Two takeaways: A) What a special talent Johnny was. To be that good at the QB position with that behaviour anchored to him, simply wow.. guy was truly special and we all lost out by not seeing him be able to reach his full potential and see him do his thing in the NFL. B) If the world was fair @ncaa owes Johnny a few million for the money they made off of him and his likeness. Enjoyed it @JManziel2 good luck bro.

Inflation will get worse regardless of what the #CPI reports for July. Instead of looking at Govt. measures designed to disguise price increases, investors should look at rising #oil prices and widening federal budget deficits as more reliable indicators of future #inflation.

Portnoy has never received the proper level of respect for his business acumen, even in the early days. I would not sleep on him going forward, true disruptor. Well played @stoolpresidente

Sea level has risen 400 feet over the last 20,000 years, but climate experts say the last three inches are your fault. #ClimateScam en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_…
