Trump’s Approval Rating Higher in Israel Than in the US | Libertarian Institute > President Donald Trump has substantially higher approval ratings among Israelis than among Americans. Trump had taken several positions that are unpopular with Americans but favorable to Israel. > According to a new poll conducted by the Jewish People Policy Institute, Trump’s approval in Israel is 73%. There is a wide gap between right-wing and left-wing Israelis. Only a third of left-wing Israelis approve of Trump, while 92% of those on the right have a favorable view of the American President. Can't get more America First than that.

I Tried Extreme Celebrity Biohacks (Here’s What Actually Works) https://rumble.com/v75im6o-i-tried-extreme-celebrity-biohacks-heres-what-actually-works.html > I’ve tried some of the most extreme celebrity biohacks, and today I’m sharing my results. Discover which celebrity wellness secrets really work, which ones don’t, and what you can do for health optimization instead. > 1. Peptides Peptides are injectables used by athletes and celebrities for a wide range of health issues. I tried them for my osteoarthritis, but didn’t notice much change. Myofascial stretching is much more effective for osteoarthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids, cod liver, and eliminating seed oils from your diet can also be beneficial. > 2. Stem cells Stem cell therapy is very expensive, and the small improvements were not worth the cost for me. Instead, try prolonged fasting to stimulate stem cells naturally. > 3. Intermittent hypoxic/hyperoxic training This involves using a mask to strategically increase or decrease your oxygen intake during exercise. Reducing your oxygen intake during exercise mimics high-altitude training. As your cells become oxygen-deprived, your body generates new capillaries, increasing oxygen delivery to certain parts of the body. This can be incredibly beneficial for inflammation. To mimic the benefits of hypoxic training without the price tag, try a high-altitude training mask. > 4. Ozone therapy Ozone therapy involves removing your blood, oxygenating it, and reinjecting it. This can be good for hidden infections, but try exercise, saunas, cruciferous vegetables, intermittent fasting, and prolonged fasting to naturally strengthen your body’s detoxification systems instead. > 5. Dry fasting Fasting without food or water can trigger survival genes, creating an intense effect on the body. You also burn more fat when you don’t drink water. Body fat is converted to water, called biological water, during a dry fast. > 6. Ice baths Ice baths lower your body temperature, producing a therapeutic effect. I’ve found this to be incredibly beneficial for inflammation and arthritis, and have even noticed improvements in cognitive function and mood after an ice bath. Ice baths can also help boost weight loss!

Homeownership “Wealth” Is a Fallacy https://mises.org/mises-wire/homeownership-wealth-fallacy By Artis Shepherd > President Trump’s recent remarks, that he wants to keep housing prices artificially high to protect the “wealth” built into people’s homes, ignore the economic dislocation that occurs because these policies require inflating the money supply.

State Department Approves Military Sale to Ukraine | The Libertarian Institute > The White House has notified Congress that it intends to sell $185 million in spare military parts to Ukraine.  > “The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Ukraine of Class IX Spare Parts and related equipment for an estimated cost of $185 million,” a statement  from the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) explained. “The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy Class IX spare parts in support of U.S. Army-supplied vehicles and weapon systems.” > The DSCA did not say whether Europe or Ukraine would pay for the parts. European countries have created a fund to buy American weapons for Kiev. The DSCA said the spare parts are an “urgent need” for Ukraine.

Stop Fighting Your Neighbor: The Mechanics of State Power and How to Opt Out https://mises.org/mises-wire/stop-fighting-your-neighbor-mechanics-state-power-and-how-opt-out By Michael Matulef > The modern state doesn’t get its power from the consent of the governed.

TGIF: Damn Those Innovators! | The Libertarian Institute By Sheldon Richman > Our lives are improved in all sorts of ways by courageous, risk-bearing entrepreneurs, who seek to change the world at a profit. For that reason alone, we should jealously safeguard an environment friendly to entrepreneurship. As the economic historian Deirdre McCloskey has shown through indefatigable research, when society is marred by envy of the richer and highly successful, we all suffer. Widespread prosperity soars, McCloskey demonstrates, when a culture in effect erects huge neon signs brightly flashing the message, “You think you have a great idea? Well, give it a go!” > That is not how people have felt through most of history. Envy that bred a fear of pioneers smothered innovation. Thomas Sowell has documented the horrors, including massacres, inflicted on “middleman minorities,” such as Jews in Europe, Chinese in Southeast Asia, and Indians and Lebanese in Africa. The economically illiterate masses could not understand why middlemen got rich “doing nothing,” never asking themselves why they nevertheless availed themselves of those allegedly unproductive services. That the relatively rich middlemen were usually different ethnically from the majority population made persecuting them with a clear conscience all the easier.

The Vain Struggle to Curb Congressional Stock Trading | Libertarian Institute By Joseph Solis-Mullen > In the halls of the U.S. Capitol, where lawmakers craft policies that shape the nation’s economy, a persistent ethical dilemma looms: the ability of members of Congress to trade stocks while possessing privileged, non-public information. This practice raises serious concerns about insider trading, where legislators can leverage insights from committee briefings, closed-door meetings, or upcoming legislation to achieve returns that often outpace the broader market. Studies have shown that congressional portfolios frequently beat benchmarks like the S&P 500, with average returns for Democrats at 31% and Republicans at 26.1% in 2024, compared to the index’s 24.9% gain. > Such advantages not only fuel (correct) perceptions of corruption but also undermine public confidence in government institutions, where trust is already at historic lows. The core issue stems from the inherent conflicts of interest.

Donald 'Right About Everything' Trump Gets Prices Wrong | Libertarian Institute By James Bovard > President Donald Trump constantly blusters as if he deserves the ‘Nobel Prize for Economic Triumphs,’ just like he supposedly deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Last week in a speech in Iowa, he doubled down on his triumphs by referring to himself in the third person: > “Just after one year of President Trump, our economy is booming…Incomes are rising. Investment is soaring. Inflation has been defeated.” > Unfortunately, Trump’s record on the economy is as shaky as his claims that he ended eight wars.

Fantasies of Fragmenting Iran Only Serve Israeli Interests ![](https://m.stacker.news/129687) By Jose Nino > A troubling convergence has emerged among Western think tanks, Israeli politicians, and exiled opposition figures advocating for the partition of Iran along ethnic and sectarian lines. This strategy represents a dangerous escalation from traditional regime change toward what can only be described as regime destruction, a policy shift that would benefit Israeli regional ambitions while catastrophically destabilizing the Middle East and creating humanitarian disasters that would dwarf the Syrian refugee crisis. > Iran’s demographic reality forms the pretext for these proposals. Persians constitute between 51 and 61% of the population, while Azerbaijanis comprise 16 to 24%, Kurds represent 7 to 10%, with smaller populations of Arabs, Baloch, Lurs, and Turkmen rounding out the nation’s ethnic composition. Rather than viewing this diversity as a national strength, Balkanization advocates frame it as a strategic vulnerability ripe for exploitation.

Trump, Immigration, and ICE https://mises.org/mises-wire/trump-immigration-and-ice By Llewellyn H.
