RICHARD FERNANDEZ ON WHAT’S GOING ON WITH IRAN:

TRENT TELENKO ON WHAT’S HAPPENING IN IRELAND (THREAD):

Unrolled thread is here.

THE PRESIDENTIAL “DIGNITY” THEY INVOKE AGAINST TRUMP:

IS ANYONE SURPRISED BY THIS?

RUNNING THE NUMBERS:

SECURITY & CIGARS: It’s Elon’s World Now.

Politicians worth hundreds of millions of dollars lecture him about giving his wealth to the government. Influencers demand that he feed the entire continent of Africa. It is only a matter of time before the ladies on The View condemn him again.

What these jealous critics miss, or perhaps understand but will not admit, is simple: hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people live better lives today because of what Musk has built. One clear measure of this impact came yesterday: more than 4,000 new millionaires were created by the SpaceX IPO alone.

They don’t actually care about improving people’s lives — as evidenced by their whole course of action over years — they just regard him as a threat to their power. Which, thank God, he is.

THAT STUFF HAS BEEN MEMORYHOLED NOW. “OBAMAWHAT?”

OPEN THREAD: Rock on!
