Sad for soldiers: James Kynge reveals North Korea receives $2,000 per month for each soldier they send to fight in Ukraine. The soldiers themselves get nothing; the government is paid directly. If they sent 12,000 soldiers, that’s $24 million per month. We of course do not know how many die?

I find that English (non-gossip) and Italian media bow less to governments, so you get more info. For example, British reporting on Epstein—names and details—is far more revealing than in North America. Even Prince Andrew’s bibliography was edited before publication here.

I don’t trust anything they say. I agree with you. Trump’s beloved, Putin, is at the BRICS summit in China—and not a peep from Trump. It’s all weird, scary, and unpredictable.

Many U.S. representatives now appear on board with a potential West Bank takeover. Since 2021, the Democracy Project allows AIPAC to directly influence U.S. elections by backing candidates and targeting lawmakers not sufficiently supporting Israel. Many people in Israel do not support govt. actions.

Israel has declared it will not follow staggered peace deal. Hamas had agreed, but Israel withdrew approval, making it clear israel wants no peace. Israel is demanding both release of all hostages, destruction of Hamas and West Bank. Jared Kushner and Tony Blair have been working on post Gaza plan.

Yes, but with Trump’s failing health and potential pushback from Alaska, it may not happen. Russia is playing Trump, while Carney has secured northern protection with an advanced system from Australia for us that should be in place soon.

Shameful: Trump tried to send 600 Guatemalan refugee children—brought to U.S. because their lives were at risk of trafficking and torture. No due process; govt. falsely claimed their parents wanted them returned. Emergency court action intervened and halted. Case will be heard in 14 days.

Fifth or sixth day with no press conference. Is he embarrassed over tariff rulings, or is it congestive heart failure (CHF)? Crises may be worsening due to deteriorating heart and kidney function from low oxygen and Lasix use— CHF is usually fatal within a year. All pictures from distance.

My daughter and I teach her to be body-positive and not worry about adult issues. Sadly, some 5-year-olds already worry about being “fat.” We focus on good nutrition—she often asks, “Nonna, is this healthy?” It’s a lot of work, but we’re fortunate not to face poverty and access to nutritious food.

Yes, yes, yes. There’s a big difference between teenagers naturally exploring and developing versus being preyed upon. The media continues to sexualize children. My 5-year-old granddaughter wanted an outfit that wasn’t appropriate, and her pediatrician told her, “No—not until you’re 18.” Awful.

Trump now wants to influence who gets into Baseball Hall of Fame. Roger Clemens was excluded over steroid use and allegations of a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old that became abusive.

Trump renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War signals a war on Americans—especially racialized groups, women, LGBTQ+, and Democrats. From troops in Venezuela to spies in Greenland and interference in Alberta, cruelty mixed with incompetence is dangerously destructive.

Most people receiving public funds work. Your tax dollars subsidize companies like Walmart that pay just $7.25 hr., forcing workers to rely on SNAP and Medicaid.
