- Friedberg out 😟
- Hamas terror attacks in Israel
- Attack is similar to 9-11
- Lets hope and pray for not more escalating wars
- Hamas didn’t attack uniformed Israeli forces - they attacked civilians
- 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza - half are kids
- Seems like Hamas strategy is to leverage the civilians to foment outrage against Israel if they attack
- US politicians who are braying for escalation by Israel seem to not have done a full accounting of the mistakes of America going to war over the last 2 decades
- One of the intentions for this action seems to be to ruin any chances of peace between Israel and the rest of the middle east
- Trump administration wins
- Abraham accords was a big win
- Almost accord between Israel and Saudi
- Trump Derangement Syndrome is causing more damage than he ever did
- And TDS is now causing issues
- He was right
- Border wall - he was right
- Long term interest rate refinancing - he was right
- Structural peace in the middle east - he was right
- MSNBC called Hamas “fighters”
- Listen to Lex Fridman podcast with Jared Kushner
- Kushner is actually thoughtful and smart - he was maligned mistakenly
- He did focus groups and had fresh ideas
- Harvard Students Letter
- Anti semitic
- These elite organizations were unable to denounce Hamas terrorist attacks
- Woke madrassas brain washing kids
- University didn’t denounce the letter
- Harvard, Stanford, UPenn, Cornell - all these students are crazy
- Bill Ackman tweet about not hiring these kids
- On these campuses you are basically auto-added to student orgs based on your skin color
- They are so blind they don’t even mention Hamas or the atrocities
- Woke folks are like cultural marxists
- Divide people into identity groups
- Oppressed vs oppressors
- Have to ignore asian american’s success - An Inconvenient Minority by Kenny Xu
- Have to ignore jewish people’s success - join them with the whites and ignore their success
- This version of social justice is defined as collective guilt
- These idiotic harvard students want to cancel people for their decade old tweets and now don’t want to be canceled themselves
- Wokeism is a rejection of excellence
- US geopolitical issues
- Procurement systems here are bad - $6000 for artillery shells here, $600 in Russia
- US will need to help Israel
- They already sent their Israel stockpile to Ukraine
- Israel is an ally - but US stockpiles are dangerously depleted now because of Ukraine war
- We need excellence in leadership - this is why Vivek is doing well - he represents excellence
- This is why Obama did well - he was excellent - same for Clinton
- Biden and Trump are not the leaders we need - cognitively
- China and Russia are also world powers - they can out-produce us
- US will have a problem in a multi polar world if it doesn’t work with other countries instead of fighting every war
- Sanctioning half the world
- WSJ blamed Iran, other publications refuted it
- Trump did well with soft power during North Korea meeting
- Trump did well with starting no wars
- He was willing to do business and not do moralizing all the time - its the art of the deal - he kept saying how smart the other leaders were
- If not for covid he would have been re-elected in a landslide
