Much of the world that is burning now has always been in fire prone areas. He talks about the living nature of fire. From FRANCE- Last week I covered the huge confrontation by east Indian youth who call themselves the Cockroach movement- they have called a truce after the minister of education resigned. Trump pardoned former rightwing president Juan Orlando Hernandez in December for allowing shipments of 400 tons of cocaine to the US- he returned to Honduras this week.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. News editor Ben Sales joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Iran-backed Houthis struck two Saudi oil tankers on Thursday that they accused of violating a naval blockade imposed by the group. These attacks signal a potential new front in the US-Iran conflict, as the US military struck Iran for the 12th successive night and Iran lashed out at its neighbors. Arguably related to stymying Iran and its ambitions, the United States and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday forged a new agreement that could potentially provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability for its civilian nuclear program. We hear why Israel is worried. Overnight, the US House of Representatives narrowly passed its version of a massive defense policy bill, despite Democrats’ concerns about its huge price tag, the Iran war and a provision that would boost Pentagon ties to Israel. The NDAA includes several provisions that allocate hundreds of millions of dollars to US-Israel joint military projects. Sales explains the political considerations in voting for Israel aid right now. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday acknowledged that he cannot actually arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite his past pledges to do so. Most legal experts had come to that conclusion years ago. Why is this in the news right now? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

U.S. House Approves Merging Israeli & U.S. Military

"Democrats have accused the US House of Representatives judiciary committee of a “baseless” and “vindictive” attack on former special prosecutor Jack Smith after it referred him for criminal prosecution for allegedly lying to Congress over his investigation into Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The committee chair, Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, wrote to the acting US attorney general, Todd Blanche, on Wednesday night, asserting Smith “made willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact” during testimony about obtaining phone records of a number of Republican lawmakers."

Speedy Gonzalez would love playing a round of golf with newly-crowned Open Championship winner Ryan Fox. A round of golf at last week’s British Open at Royal Birkdale averaged a snooze-worthy 5 ½ hours.  Don’t blame the weather.  All four days of this year’s event were played under benign conditions.  No rain or high winds affected play. The final player on the golf course on Sunday was a relative unknown named Ryan Fox. The native New Zealander was already tied with clubhouse leader Cameron Young at 9-under par as he sized-up an 11 foot birdie putt to win the tournament.  A massive throng of British fans surrounded the green to watch the drama unfold. It took 39-year old Ryan Fox (seeking just his third professional victory) just 22 seconds to line-up and execute the most important putt of his golfing career.  He drained the birdie putt, won the Claret Jug trophy, and captured (on paper) more than $3.2 million in first prize money. Unfortunately, the British government absconded with nearly 45% of his payday.  The take home pay for the new “Champion Golfer of the Year” was sliced to $1.76 million. Great Britain’s His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs group had already pilfered $1.44 million on behalf of the host country’s bank account. And you thought the I.R.S. was tough? Ryan Fox has now become the people’s champion to help end slow play! Weekend warriors at public golf courses are monitored by an oft-times surly roving ranger who tries to keep rounds at four hours or less. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a 4-hour pace of play in professional golf? Why should professional golfers (who require significantly fewer shots, utilize personal caddies and play with the latest high-tech equipment and golf balls) take 25% longer than a player who requires 30% more swings? New Zealand native Ryan Fox is the exact opposite of today’s sloth-like pro golfers.  He is already thinking about his next shot while moving toward the golf ball. Fox said, “The less time I have to think about it, the less bad stuff can creep in there.”  He added, “It’s not that difficult to pick a shot and pick a club.” Indeed! It must be maddening for Ryan Fox to play golf with many other professional golfers who seem to agonize over every single shot. Sure, today’s “Slow Poke Pro Golfer Brigade” tries to defend its slower pace of play by saying the higher tournament payouts require more time to consider each shot. The Slow Pokes would chuckle and say that you, too, would take longer if standing over a $1.4 million putt (the difference between a first and second place finish) for a major championship win. Oops!  That analogy just went down the drain.  Speedy Ryan Fox stepped right up and sank the winning putt on hole #18 in just 22 seconds on Sunday. Other golfers have taken note of Ryan Fox’ faster pace. PGA golfer Min Woo Lee played with Fox in an earlier round.  He was excited for Ryan Fox’s victory and the message it should send to golfers at all levels. Lee said, “He just plays his own game, and that’s something that everyone can learn.  Whenever a fast player wins, it’s the greatest thing ever!” Should we blame the greatest golfer of all time for today’s slow play? Jack Nicklaus is best remembered for his 18 major championships and being one of the most focused golfers of all time. The Golden Bear had a tendency to stand over his putts for what felt like an eternity during his heyday in the 1960’s and 70’s. Nicklaus famously received a two stroke penalty for slow play during his first year as a professional golfer in 1962. A rules official at the Portland (Oregon) Open gave Nicklaus a two-shot penalty for failing to speed-up his play during the second round of that tournament. The PGA official told him, “Jack, you can take as long as you want when you’re over the golf ball, but be ready when it’s your turn!” Nicklaus had believed that it was poor etiquette to prep for his next shot when it wasn’t officially his turn to play. Jack Nicklaus ended up winning the tournament in Portland by six shots.  He said he learned a valuable lesson from being penalized for slow play. Lee Trevino is the same age (86) as Nicklaus.  He laughed about his friend receiving that two-shot penalty for slow play in 1962. “It didn’t make a difference.  But at least they had the guts to penalize a superstar!” Trevino (winner of six major titles) was one of the fastest golfers of his generation.  Lee made a number of suggestions to improve the pace of play. Golfers should take two or less waggles prior to beginning their backswing.  They should be required to putt-out on every green without marking their golf ball again.  Trevino was one of the earliest advocates of “Ready golf”.  That means that the first player ready to hit the ball should go right ahead. Former European Tour star Colin Montgomerie won 54 professional events – mostly in Europe.  He had a second place finish at the Open Championship, the Masters, and the US Open. Monty (who plays on the PGA Champions Tour today) ripped into the slow play seen at last week’s major championship. “TV hates it and specatators hate it,” he voiced.  “Too long is the chat between the caddie and the player…it goes on forever!  The (yardage) book comes out. How many times do they get that bloody book out?” Is it time for pro golfers to ditch their caddies? The role of a professional golf caddie has grown significantly in the past half century.  A caddie originally just toted a heavy 40-pound bag of clubs for five miles every round for a sometimes temperamental golfer. Today’s caddies now function as the chief meteorologist (wind speed and direction) and sports psychologist (“Stay in the moment!”). Many of the top professional golf caddies earn $500,000 per year or more for their efforts. Most receive a weekly minimum payday from $1,500 to $3,000 plus a sliding percentage of the player’s earnings from the week’s golf tournament. The caddie for Open Championship winner Ryan Fox was expected to receive a 10% share of the winner’s check. I wonder if the caddie’s $320,000 earnings were taxed by the Brits, too? Perhaps we may soon see an AI-based rolling golf bag cart to follow the players around. It could spew yardages, provide wind speeds and directions, and offer encouraging words to the golfer.  Especially those who just dumped their approach shot into a lake in front of the green! Too much time is being wasted in conversations between today’s pro golfers and their caddies prior to nearly every shot.  There is zero evidence that the additional time spent in consultation has resulted in lower scoring in professional golf. Let’s fix it!  Penalties to dock the golfer’s paycheck are the most effective way to increase speed of play This weekend, I watched as one pro golfer marked his golf ball less than six inches away from the hole rather than just tapping it in. I kid you not.  The distance about the width of his hand. Most golfers wear spikeless shoes.  It shouldn’t matter if the player briefly stepped into the line of his playing partner in order to quickly complete that short putt. This seemed like a perfect example of today’s slothful play. Slow play has been fostered by a lack of tough rules and a lack of enforcement. The United States Golf Association (USGA) rules do not spend a lot of space addressing the pace of play. However, Rule 5.6 was adopted to limit golfers to 40 seconds to make a stroke after the player is ready to hit. Let’s say that Rory McIlroy has just completed his second shot from the fairway.  Now it’s now my turn.  Rule 5.6 states that I should complete my shot within 40 seconds after Rory’s golf ball coming to rest. Pro tip – Put a stopwatch on any golfer while you watch a PGA or LPGA event.  Most will hit their tee shots in the allotted 40-second time.  However, more than half will exceed 40 seconds on every subsequent shot until they complete the hole. Did you know that there is already a (human) walking scorer assigned to follow each group in men’s and women’s professional golf tournaments? The PGA and other pro tours can and should provide a stopwatch to the scorer to record the time for each golfer’s shot.  That information (in addition to the golfer’s score) could be reported after every hole. Upon the first violation, a rules official should advise the player that they are being warned about slow play.  Every subsequent 40-second violation should come with a one-shot penalty for that hole. Players receiving two or more penalties during a round of golf will quickly get the picture.  I wouldn’t be surprised if tournament scoring might be just as good or even better than today. Newly crowned Open Champion Ryan Fox would heartily agree! The problem (much like in politics) is getting the PGA and LPGA to pass rules providing for specific penalties enforcing the pace of play It is akin to seeing someone in the US House or Senate voluntarily introduce a bill on term limits or to require a balanced federal budget. Should it happen?  Yes.  Will it happen?  Not if the players have their way. Enforcing the pace of play with legitimate penalties will also have a trickle down effect.  Increased speed of play on the golf course will improve college, high school, and junior golf, too. With less wasted time, more people might consider playing golf again.  That would translate into more revenue for golf courses! If Ryan Fox can help bring an end to slow play in professional golf, then consider me one of his biggest fans.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. The US House on Wednesday defeated a vote to end Israel aid. Still, with nearly 50% of Democrats backing the measure, Magid notes the significance of the measure and the vote, which he says sends the message that Israel will not have the bipartisan support it used to have if it continues its current policies toward the Palestinians. Magid reviews the recent visit of US lawmaker Ro Khanna to the West Bank, where he was briefly detained in a Palestinian village by Israeli settlers. Magid examines whether the incident was later amplified by Khanna or constitutes another case of settler violence. He touches on the venting JD Vance did during a recent podcast hosted by Joe Rogan, in which the US vice president expressed frustration over an Israeli social media campaign that criticizes the Iran deal. The latest round of Israel-Lebanon talks ended in Rome, and while the tone was positive, Magid tells us that it's unclear whether Israel will be withdrawing anytime soon from the two agreed-upon pilot zones in southern Lebanon. He opines that Israel's reluctance is probably tied to the upcoming elections and notes that the lack of progress is a sore spot for the Lebanese. The Board of Peace is progressing with plans for Gaza, with its own set of pilot zones, says Magid, but those plans are still theoretical for now.

Photo: Deb Haaland signs her new book, “A Voice Like Mine”, during a signing at the Sealaska Heritage Institute clan house Shuká Hít on June 28, 2026. (Mircea Brown / Sealaska Heritage Institute) Former U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo) came to Juneau last weekend as a stop on a tour of her new memoir, “A Voice Like Mine”, as KTOO's Yvonne Krumrey reports. Haaland was the first Indigenous person to be appointed a cabinet secretary. The name of the book comes from a campaign slogan she used when she successfully ran for Congress in 2018, Haaland recounted. Her media consultant told her that Congress had never heard a voice like hers and the phrase “a voice like mine” felt apt to Haaland. Haaland spoke to a crowd at the Sealaska Heritage Institute clan house. “We’d never had a native woman in Congress. We had to wait 233 years to be represented in the US House of Representatives.” Haaland is from New Mexico. Her memoir includes many recipes based on traditional Puebloan foods. Haaland said that food has always been a part of her political organizing work. “When I started organizing in Indian Country, trying to get people registered and out to vote, I would ply them with green chili stew. Of bread, so they would come to our events, and then we’d all, you know, go early vote, or something like that.” Haaland is currently running for Governor of New Mexico. She said she was inspired by Indigenous advocates who came before her and she hopes there are more to follow. “This book I dedicated for those who have never given up, we can’t ever give up. You can’t get tired and say, ‘Oh my god, we’ve been fighting this for 10 years. I’m done. I’m just gonna, you know, do something. I’m gonna go watch TV. I don’t know.’ We can’t ever give up, because I don’t think our ancestors ever gave up.” “A Voice Like Mine” came out in June and is now available at local bookstores. (Courtesy Department of Finance Canada) A group of First Nations in Ontario have signed a deal with the Canadian and Ontario governments to take part ownership in a new nuclear reactor project. As Dan Karpenchuk reports, the chiefs involved called it a historic step forward. The seven first nations are part of the Williams Treaties First Nations east of Toronto. The federal government in Ottawa and the Ontario government are providing CA$700 million (about $492.4 million) in loan guarantees to the First Nations. That money will become equity for one of our small modular reactors under construction at the Darlington Nuclear project east of Toronto. Chief Laurie Hockaday of the Alderville First Nation says the importance of this deal cannot be overstated. “Economic reconciliation is not achieved simply by inviting First Nations to observe development. It is achieved when first nations have meaningful opportunities to participate, to invest, to lead, and to help shape the future of projects taking place within their territories.” Darlington is the site for four small modular reactors, which are now under construction at a cost of about CA$21 billion (about $14.78 billion). The first reactor is expected to be completed by 2030 and, when fully operational, the four will generate about 1,200 megawatts of power, enough for about 1.2 million homes. Canadian Finance Minister Francois Philippe Champagne says the loan guarantee is among the first, and so far the largest, in the loan guarantee program with First Nations. “When it comes to nation building projects, Indigenous people are partners and we want that today to be a blue print. And nations across our country are watching what we are achieving today because today's a great example of us working together to achieve a common goal that generations will look back with pride.” Ontario's energy minister says the involvement of First Nations in the project marks an important milestone. And he adds that it is sensible for any government to build alliances and partnerships with First Nations. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

The latest Federal Reserve policy shifts and rising geopolitical tensions are reshaping the financial landscape. With Jerome Powell exiting and Kevin Warsh signaling a tighter-lipped Fed, investors face renewed market uncertainty and an end to traditional forward guidance. This episode breaks down how the ongoing Iran conflict is dictating oil prices and the timeline for interest rate cuts, while exploring why the stock market continues to offer the best risk-to-reward ratio for capital deployment.The conversation also dives into the massive economic potential of advanced AI and robotics, analyzing predictions from industry leaders regarding the automated future of the global labor market. We evaluate the current hyper-supply phase of the real estate market cycle, the potential massive liquidity injection from the upcoming Crypto Clarity Act, and the exact $5 million financial milestone needed to achieve true freedom in today's economy.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDFederal Reserve policy changes and the elimination of forward guidance under Kevin Warsh.Geopolitical impacts of the 60-day MOU in the Iran conflict on global oil prices.Short-term stock market corrections and interest rate cut predictions for the coming year.Institutional investments, warm water cooling, and the bullish outlook for Nvidia.SpaceX IPO lockup periods and why short-term valuation pressures exist for early retail buyers.The integration of advanced humanoid robotics into global labor markets and factory infrastructure.The upcoming US House committee hearing on the Crypto Clarity Act and its potential market impact.Phase three and four of the Mueller real estate cycle and how to acquire undervalued commercial assets.Leveraging life insurance arbitrage to invest in real estate debt funds for positive yield.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Federal Reserve's decision to drop forward guidance removes the market's reliance on predictable rate cuts, signaling a return to historically normal, higher interest rate environments.Global oil prices remain the primary linchpin for future interest rate decisions, as energy costs directly drive producer costs and broader inflation metrics.Advanced robotics and AI infrastructure are poised to offset massive global labor shortages, presenting one of the most lucrative long-term investment vectors of the next decade.The real estate market is currently navigating the hyper-supply and recession phases of its cycle, making this the ideal time for patient capital to acquire distressed assets before rate cuts occur.Achieving a liquid, risk-free baseline of $5 million in Treasury bills provides a mathematical guarantee of financial freedom, effectively covering lifestyle costs through pure interest yield.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONWealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.
