Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”. “I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.” This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Word of the day is ‘foozle’, from the 19th century: of a golfer, to bungle a shot. More generally, to make a complete mess of something.

This isn't The Art of the Deal. It's insider trading with a bad comb-over. Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’ Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Donald doesn’t understand the scale of difference between American and Chinese business culture. Americans operate month to month and they live/die by the quarter. The Chinese think in terms of generations. This is not a trade war the US can win. They don’t have the patience.
