Huge family achievement: my 17-year-old son David lifted a personal best 491 lbs (deadlift) and went 8 for 9 at Powerlifting America Age Division National Championships in Reno last weekend. Way to go, Diesel Dave!

- Eleven (yes, 11) reporters on this @washingtonpost story and yet not one mention that the #Israeli hostages were evidently kept not in underground tunnels but in private #Palestinian homes in crowded, multi-story buildings, which would raise disturbing questions about broad
- Hello, @washingtonpost - is there a reason why you have not yet published a single front-page story (print edition) on the #Iran protests, the most consequential popular uprising against clerical rule in years & the most significant new factor in #MiddleEast politics today?
- I am breaking my usual all-business twitter to report this historic breakthrough by my 3 sons: After 4 days, a thousand attempts, a lot of swearing and a few scotches (by me), we did it! Not since Wilbur & Orville have brothers (with a little help from dad) had such a success!
00:00 - Last month's @washingtonpost article on #Palestinian mothers separated from their babies gnawed at me: could #Israel really be that nasty? So I did what 3 reporters should have done but didn't - I asked the Israelis. If they did what I did, they would have written a very
- Hey, @washingtonpost - it’s 3-plus weeks into the most serious popular revolt against mullah rule in #Iran since 1979 and these amazingly brave women and men have still not earned a single front-page story. If you don’t take it seriously, why should the #Biden Administration?
- These #Palestinian poll results (from March 2024) tell a depressing story: - 71% say 10/7 attacks were "correct" - 91% say #Hamas committed no war crimes in this conflict - 59% say Hamas should control #Gaza after the war is over - Hamas has double the popular support of #Fatah,
- Question for @nytimes: concern for fate of @JKhashoggi notwithstanding, by what rationale are you suspending tourism to #SaudiArabia but proudly advertising money-making "Journey" tours to #Iran, world's leading sponsor of terrorism? nytimes.com/times-journeys…
- We are witnessing what could be a terribly sad moment in US #MiddleEast policy - a moment that cheers #America’s adversaries and frightens #America’s friends. I have praised @JoeBiden as having proven himself since 10/7 the most pro-#Israel president in US history. However, the
- Sadly, tendentious media reporting from the #Hamas-#Israel war has grown commonplace but I have never seen a story quite like the @washingtonpost piece headlined “Israel’s war with Hamas separates Palestinian babies from their mothers.” 1/14
- Hey, @washingtonpost editors: after more than a month of nationwide protests in #Iran that "stunned" @JoeBiden & compelled @BarackObama to admit a "mistake" in not supporting activists in 2009, don't you think it's overdue to give this seismic event even one front-page story?
- After 40+ years of mullah rule, the people of #Iran are rising up to reclaim their freedom and their country. I am so proud to have provided a platform for @AlinejadMasih to explain why every American should care. @WashInstitute #MahsaAminiWhy should Americans care about the murder of #MahsaAmini and Iranian people’s fight against Islamic regime? Thanks to @robsatloff and @washingtoninst for asking this important question. Please listen to my address.
- I kept a secret to #Jordan’s #KingHussein for a quarter-century. Now, with his son #KingAbdullah at the height of his popularity, leading the fight against #coronavirus, it’s time to tell this story. @aminterest
