I received at La Fortaleza the Consul General of Israel in Miami, Zuri Siso, whose jurisdiction includes Puerto Rico. During the meeting, we discussed the strategic alliance between our nation, the United States, and Israel, and the close relationship maintained in areas such as defense, security, and intelligence. https://x.com/Jenniffer/status/2090469030624624939?s=20

BREAKING NEWS🚨: Spanish activist loses her own home after taking in migrant Estíbaliz Kortazar, a far-left Spanish activist from Basauri, did what foolish women do: she opened her home to a North African migrant out of solidarity. Once he got what he wanted, the man started sexually harassing her, insulting her (calling her “puta” and “perra sucia”), watching porn in front of her, and making her life unbearable. He stopped paying rent, refused to leave, manipulated/changed the locks, and effectively took over the house. She called the police for help. Their response: “We can’t do anything without a court order.” She’s now sleeping at relatives’ houses, seeing a psychologist after a nervous breakdown, and has launched a petition to fast-track the legal process and get her home back. This is why you dont let illegal migrants into your home ! https://x.com/britains_rights/status/2087539947771195469?s=46&t=gT6uLhaVod8uwzT4p6povA

'THAT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME': A retired Air Force officer who carried the nuclear "football" for President Bill Clinton says President Donald Trump's Air Force One decoy operation in Ankara was "brilliant" — but warns that whoever leaked the details of how it was done was "highly placed" and should be prosecuted to the fullest. Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson told Fox News Digital that presidential decoys and aircraft swaps are routine tools used to protect commanders in chief — and that he personally participated in a nearly identical operation with Clinton that was never publicly reported. The difference now: someone on the inside exposed the playbook. "There's only a few people who actually know exactly what's going down, and that's by design," Patterson said. "So if somebody leaked it, it was somebody involved in the process." https://x.com/foxnewspolitics/status/2087912937499553937?s=46&t=gT6uLhaVod8uwzT4p6povA

The conversation between Rich, Tom, and Vince lays out a unified theory of the financial war running beneath the kinetic war with Iran. The core argument runs like this: Gold has reasserted itself as the ultimate collateral because the West destroyed trust in its own financial plumbing. When the EU froze Russia's euro-denominated assets at Euroclear in Belgium in 2022, every country on earth recalculated. If a nuclear-armed state could have its reserves seized, nobody's money was safe in Western treasuries or euros. The BRICS response — building alternative plumbing with gold as the common denominator — is the direct consequence. The yen carry trade was the engine of global financialization. For decades, Japan kept rates artificially low. Everyone borrowed yen at near-zero, converted to dollars or euros, and bought higher-yielding assets — treasuries, Nvidia stock, whatever paid. This funded European welfare states indirectly by keeping global capital flowing through Western channels. Now Japan is raising rates, coordinated with Trump's Treasury, and the carry trade is unwinding. Europe is the trapped animal. The Swiss National Bank cut to zero to act as Europe's emergency carry currency, but Switzerland is a house cat compared to Japan's lion — it lacks the industrial base and currency float to replace the yen. Europe cannot raise rates without collapsing its banks and insurance companies. It cannot lower rates without watching capital flee and energy import costs soar. The euro is being squeezed from both directions. Trump's energy policy is the financial weapon. By threatening the Strait of Hormuz and selling Europe expensive American LNG instead of cheap Russian gas, he raises Europe's cost of capital. Every rate hike to defend the euro kills exports. Every rate cut makes energy unaffordable. The Europeans are being forced to choose between economic death by inflation and death by deflation. Japan's repatriation of capital — selling European stocks, converting euros to yen, bringing money home — is draining Europe further. The US-Japan convergence on interest rates around 2% would leave Europe as the world's carry trade currency: everyone borrowing euros at low rates to invest elsewhere, bleeding the continent dry.
