Obama is trying to lecture President Trump on how to handle Iran, when Obama’s solution with Iran was to send them billions including pallets of cash just days after Iran seized a U.S. military ship in the gulf and took U.S. troops hostage.

🚨 Retail investors, beware of buying every tech dip! Ted Mortonson, a veteran of the dot-com crash, warns that retail traders could be seriously outmatched by institutional investors. 📉 Semiconductor stocks down 26% from their June peak. 🤖 AI’s long-term potential remains strong. ⏳ But patience matters more than chasing bargains. My takeaway: A falling stock isn’t automatically cheap. I’d rather miss the bottom than buy too early into another selloff. $QQQ $SOXX $SMH

🥇 Gold climbs back above $4,000! 📈 Spot gold ~$4,014 (+0.5%) 🛢️ Brent crude ~$114 (−2%) 🏦 Fed decision Wednesday Lower oil prices are easing inflation fears, giving gold some breathing room after last week’s 4% selloff. But expectations of further Fed rate hikes could limit the rebound. My take: $4,000 is the key level to watch. Holding above it would be encouraging, but the Fed could change everything. $GLD $IAUM $GDX

No number of arrests will drain the sea while the rivers feeding it stay open. Every raid, every ban and every trial deals with the gunman, while the preacher who built his mind keeps his pulpit, his school and his salary. Terrorism is only the graduation day, and extremism is the classroom where takfiri thinking, religious exclusivism and the dehumanization of everyone outside the circle are taught as virtue. Too many governments paid dearly to fight the symptom, then protected the cause in the name of freedom and tolerance. Whoever refuses to confront the ideology has already chosen to meet its next attack. Be like the UAE. It got to the roots.
أن نحارب الإرهاب دون محاربة التطرف كمن يسقي البحر ماءاً عذباً في انتظار تحول البحر إلى نهرٍ عذب

Emerging reports of the Muslim Brotherhood networks are operating openly in South Africa. Sheikh Abdul Khaliq Allie publicly praised Hamas in Sept 2025, yet this month he was welcomed to Brisbane and Sydney for scholar gatherings. The same Australia where the Flydubai co-pilot was radicalised in 2017 via a Melbourne centre linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. Patterns. Questions unanswered.

للتذكير فقط. منذ 28 فبراير 2026، استهدفت إيران دول الخليج بأكثر من 7,000 صاروخ ومسيّرة، وفق مجلس التعاون الخليجي. مطارات، موانئ، محطات كهرباء وتحلية، ومنشآت طاقة، وضحايا مدنيون. دول لم تكن طرفاً في الحرب، ومع ذلك تعرضت لهذه الاعتداءات!

🇫🇷 JPMorgan is warning investors to stay cautious on France, highlighting growing fiscal and political risks. 📉 Rising government debt and borrowing costs are putting pressure on French assets. 🇮🇹 Italy offers an important contrast: not all European debt markets carry the same risks. 🏦 The bigger question is whether France’s troubles could spread across the eurozone.

This is hilarious!! He is literally saying "We've divorced life three times." Wow, how romantic! 🙂 So let me get this straight: even if the Jews leave Palestine/Israel, you'll still chase them across the planet until they convert? And the Christians too? That's not a cause, that's a stalker with a manifesto. 🧐 You don't want them near you… but you can't let them go either. Have you considered therapy? Who appointed you gatekeepers of heaven, deciding who gets in and who gets hunted? Faith is between a person and God, and it was never meant to be enforced by a man shouting threats at people. Decades of "resistance," and the results are in: more graves, more ruins, more orphans. Great job, really. Meanwhile the rest of us are busy doing something radical called living in peace. You should try it sometime. Enough exploiting religion to sell your failed extremism. Nobody's buying it anymore!!
