It is a race against time for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu: a new poll shows Americans have dramatically turned against Israel while President Trump has unveiled a new "deal" for Gaza that looks designed to fail.

In today's Responsible Statecraft, Kelley Vlahos writes that the US government forced sale of the popular social network platform TikTok will chiefly benefit the government of Israel. Israel had long complained that Gen Z was disproportionately critical of Israel on TikTok. The forced sale to ultra pro-Israel businessman Larry Ellison has already reportedly resulted in a shift in tone. Is this a US government violation of the First Amendment?

President Trump's post yesterday on Truth Social left most Ukraine war watchers speechless, as he claimed that Ukraine could not only take back all of its country from Russia but "perhaps even more." Is Trump trolling? Trolling Europe? Or just bonkers? Also today, Syria's "former" al-Qaeda leader makes waves at the UN...

In a Truth Social post over the weekend, President Trump warned that if Afghanistan did not "give back" Bagram air base to the United States, "bad things are going to happen."

Finally: Bondi gets her marching orders from Trump in yet another Truth Social post.

The MAGA world was stunned late last week when the same day RFK was grilled in the Senate, President Trump hosted a lavish White House Dinner for "Big Tech" billionaires including vax addict Bill Gates. Also today...Rand takes on JD over government murder.

President Trump has recently endorsed a policy that is arguably as socialist as anything proposed by New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani or Sen. Bernie Sanders — partial government ownership of private corporations. Earlier this year, as a condition of approving Nippon Steel’s purchase of US Steel, President Trump demanded Nippon give the US government a “golden share” in US Steel. This golden share allows the US government to overrule Nippon’s management if the government determines Nippon is acting against US “national security,” which means the government can overrule many decisions made by Nippon‘s management.

Just hours after the Trump Administration reportedly delivered a strangely vague ceasefire proposal to Hamas, the Israeli military attacked the group as they met in Qatar to discuss the American proposals. This mirrors the Israeli "decapitation" strike on Iranian negotiators in June that launched the 12 day war. Israeli sources say the Trump Administration green-lit the Qatar attacks. Also today: Another massive US jobs revision. Rate cut coming?

Throughout all of human history, central planning has a perfect 100% failure rate. Yet, there is never a shortage of central planners. Even America, which began with a very limited government, has morphed into a web of planners, and agencies, and red tape, and unelected bureaucrats galore. Prices are manipulated to such an extreme degree that rational decision-making and investment become near impossible. Forget consumers. The goal is to get in charge of the state, and force your will onto everyone else. Eventually, this all falls to pieces; and everyone is forced to re-learn what freedom and limited government means again ... That is, until the next batch of central planners arrive on the scene.
