It’s a bit of a distraction headline really, isn’t it… Fr Health Minister Catherine Vautrin said:- “Hospitals are always preparing – for epidemics, for surges. It’s normal for a country to anticipate crises and their consequences.” So! this is contingency, not war planning…
It’s called Greed!
It’s systematic in the democracy the US operates From the electoral college to the Senate to gerrymandering to a biased SCOTUS, money = power & so power serves money SCOTUS made that unlimited with Citizens United so now, even with the will of the people, it’s hard to see a democratic way out
Agreed!
Where’s our MSM on this story. He’s been MIA for days, lying about his whereabouts, slurring speech when he talks, bruises, swollen ankles… where’s CNN, MSNBC, Fox, et al They forced Biden out of a Presidential race for less Is everything going to be the Reality TV Show script?
He’s right tho Maybe the US is happy using Ukr existence & Eu security as some Reality TV Show script, but this is life & death to REAL people This bull***t has to stop. Give the man something to use or get off the stage…
I’m not sure how many times this has to be said… But! It’s Congress that responsible for the Purse. It raises or lowers taxes as it sees fit It’s the Administration that implements the laws (& therefore the taxes) that Congress passes That’s the Law, the Constitution, that’s how the USA works…
Rex Tillerson didn’t get to be the President of Exxon by being stupid He lasted just over a year with Trump, gutted the State Dept for him & later admitted that he’d enabled far more bulls**t that he should have Of course he was right:- “Trump IS a F***ing Moron!”
I’ve not had it but apparently it’s:- “Very positive, bright and sunny whisky, summer, festive, perfectly balanced, with a rich palette and sufficient depth” I know things look glum right now. But! Fingers crossed you get (& the rest of us too) the right occasion to crack it open… ☘️Slainte!
Tongue & groove, dovetails, slide fit, matching grain… Lovely ‘joinery’, good to see a bit of craft Nice Work… Well Done

Excellent post
Apologies for the misspell of your name Ari, it was unintentional However I stand by the content & yes I do read & watch & learn
Imagine… Deporting 600 unaccompanied minors (children) to no home address, no adult care, nothing & what have these kids done? Nothing except exist… It’s callous, brutal & inhumane. I don’t want to hear one word from any Republican about God or Pro-Life or Christianity They’re sadists!
So! Why are NVIDA, Open AI, AWS AI, Meta, Palantir etc shares all thru the roof? They’re now worth more that ALL the cash money in the USA What are these guys betting on? Or are you asleep! It’s already happening…
We don’t know enough to have an opinion Firstly, it’s a matter of choice & that’s up to the individual, so judgement’s irrelevant Secondly, we see benefits, but know little of risks, as these often take a long time to become clear I hope there are no side effects, & that’s all we can do… Hope!
The MSM is asking where are the Dem’s & why aren’t they ‘saving the US’ Well! Where were the MSM during the last election? Biden’s - senile, Kamala - no policies, Dems - woke, socialist They did their level best to elect Trump & it worked, 77m votes Now they want Dem’s to save them? Ya… Right!
& where were you Ari & the rest of the MSM during the last election? Biden’s too old, senile, Kamala has no policies, Dems are too woke, too Liberal, don’t understand the economy Ye did ye’re level best for Trump & it worked, 77m votes Now you want a saviour & you’re blaming the Democrats. Right!
& trust who? You!! The drug addict who eats road kill & gets his kids to swim in sewage outfalls. I’ll stick with the experts thnx!
So! Now Importers refuse to pay Goods get impounded & stored @ huge storage cost to the state, while the importers take the Administration to court (case by case), also @ huge cost to the state Meantime, shortages, bankruptcies, inflation etc etc etc… One word… CHAOS!

It’s their brazenness that’s incredible. Judges must find it almost laughable The United States Administration Defence is:- “I know I robbed the bank, but you can’t take the money back now, I’d be broke & you’d be making a fool of me…”
Oh! I dunno… In these Trump Season 2 days, it seems to the world that the US capacity for embarrassment is infinite…
🤣
Yes, exactly. It’s under Biden’s Chips Act I thought this was a news organisation not a propaganda channel
It’s a self-actualising metaphor for Trump Season 2…
It’s diplomatically embarrassing is what it is… How do Pentagon & Administration Staff go to NATO meetings when this stuff will be in the briefings? This isn’t Ru & Crimea. Denmark is a longstanding ally of the US If you’ll do this to Denmark, who’s next? Why should allies trust anything you say?
So! The US ‘negotiated’ to end the war in Vietnam? Yeah… Right! Go to the back of the class Mr VP…
Up-to-date DOGE savings estimate in firing federal employees is $205bn as of August 2025 However, independent reviews suggest that the actual verifiable savings are under $115bn A far cry from the $2tn (& then $1tn) Musk & Trump claimed, also $2tn short of the budget deficit it was meant to fill
It’s cheap knock-off stuff you can buy off Etsy… Go look it up! It’s <$50.00 an item, mostly made in China… A perfect metaphor for Trump Season 2…
Oh! It’s the other Georgia
Don’t tell me…. He’s a White Republican & it proves MLK couldn’t have been from Georgia
As Dylan said:- “Money doesn’t talk… It Swears!”
Yes! He is & has always been transparent.. But the worse part is his facilitation & validation by people who should know better (SCOTUS, Judges, Law Firms, Congress, Businesses et al) All in a craven & greedy lust for power or be near power It’s unforgivable!
Well then… Come on lads… Hair.. Make Up… Lighting… Camera Angle… Sound On… 3.. 2.. 1.. Aaanndd… ACTION!
Note the vague mealy-mouthed language:- “.. certain interventions… that are almost certainly causing autism..” No proof, no study reference, no fact… just suggestion, that’s all What a Charlatan!
China’s power is now at 18% supply by renewables, Eu is at 29%. Both are rising rapidly year on year This Luddite wants the US (& everyone else) back in the Industrial Revolution I’m surprised he’s not peddling steam engines…

As I understood him he was threatening to impose sanctions on EU administration officials involved in implementing these digital regulations, not tariffs on countries
Except… He can’t! That’s not within his remit as President This is just more headline grabbing by the narcissist who needs attention EVERY day…
Ahem! Small point… The President of the United Stares doesn’t make laws. Not by EO, or any other way Making Laws is Congress’s job & Even tho he thinks he is…. He’s not an Emperor… yet!
You report this like it was just another piece of daily news “His military!” This is how Franco, Mussolini, Batista, Idi Amin talked, how Kim Jong-un & Putin talk Are you journalists or just another propaganda channel?
Fantasyland… where numbers appear out of nothing & the Orange Emperor rules It’s a Lewis Carroll Novelette. Reality TV on speed…
It’s exhausting having to listen to such drivel from the supposed most powerful leader in the world The wonder is… why does the US MSM continue to put up with it?
‘Negociation?’ Ask him how the Viet Cong negotiated with the US at the end of that war They ran them out of Vietnam, that’s what they did
Proving my point!
Proving my point!
You!
Your arrogant assumptions betray you
Arrogance too… nuf said…
I did… Definition: “Communism is a political and economic ideology that advocates for a classless society in which all property, wealth, and means of production (factories, land, resources, etc.) are owned collectively by the State rather than by individuals or private entities”
Yeah! Robbers blame security glitch for bank heist
You’re right, actually it’s communism. Where the state OWNS the means of production
Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza in Oct 2023, 191 Journalists & Media Workers have been killed in Gaza & the West Bank, the vast majority by Israel That’s more than in any other war, incl’ WW2. These are ‘War Crimes!’
Of real concern is the levels of meds he is so obviously on, all clearly visible on our screens Falling asleep @ meetings, slurred speech, no concentration, dislocated thought process, IV bruising on his hands, badly swollen ankles He was not like this before, he’s failing before our eyes
It’s just a Reality TV Show. They turn up in make up & costume, say their lines (all fake & lies) & wander off to wait for their next bit part Nothing in this is true, honest or of any value. You’re watching today’s episode of Trump, Season Two! & the MSM do nothing to stop it, not even a question
Right! Trump, P25, SCOTUS, GOP & all these ‘fine’ Broligarchs, they see their power being stolen by a multi-racial democracy & they’re determined to take it back That’s why they all still talk about Obama, to this day We’re supposed to do what they say, do what we’re told. Shut up & work…
The limping Bear seeks help from the smiling Tiger But at what cost?
It’s not stupidity. It’s a rampant, unaccountable power grab, filled with greed, racism & misogyny The backlash to electing Obama is the realisation that the US no longer belongs to the ‘Good ‘Ol Boys’ & now they want it back Even if they have to tear down everything good to get it…
The weakness of it. That shallow narcissistic ego will do him in No matter how much fake gold, portraits, flags or ballrooms he surrounds himself with, he’s a weak, fragile man See him in the room with world leaders lstwk, so out of his depth it was embarrassing No portrait fixes that!
Seems the world is seeing the US as an object lesson in uncontrolled Capitalism, where only money & power matter & greed is all Even the facades of democracy & Christianity are sliding away Money, greed, racism, misogyny are now the Gods that are worshipped & followed Not a nice place to visit!
She says it’s all just fine & don’t worry, Trump’s not involved But then it was proved that this same woman lied her way through her own trial Then she got 20 years for enticing minors to engage in illegal sex acts with rich white men… like ?
She says it’s all just fine, Trump’s not involved Well! If I was doing 20 years for enticing minors to engage in illegal sex acts with rich men, maybe I’d say that too Particularly if I knew who those men were & wanted a pardon or better treatment from a President whose scared of what I might say…

The Sun King in his (fake) Golden Throne Room only sees sunlight…
Ahem! Did nobody tell him the Sun goes down at night!
Or maybe Medhi, just maybe… This is what America actually voted for and wants Why blame the Democrats? They put their form of Government to the people & lost The US is not what you would like it to be, it is what it is. This is what people want now & tho observers might be appalled, this is it!
Once again, (as if we needed reminding), it demonstrates his impulsive nature He responds to the moment, the latest word & uses it in an attempt to show control, power, influence As ever, it’s devoid of any strategic thinking, because he’s incapable of having a strategy much less sticking to one…
So! He’s admitting the US economy (GDP) will grow by <1%, (that’s what the term means) There is no ‘job recovery’ in this, there is job loss, that’s obvious!), wage stagnation & an unemployment rise <1% growth IS a recession in all but name…

Unease where? With who? Be specific. Stop these teaser headlines.
Because Putin has given him his ‘meetings’ answer First Ukr must give up the Donbas. It must agree to never join NATO or a NATO like organisation. And it must never allow NATO troops on its territory. He doesn’t want much does he? He wants war not Peace, WAR! So I guess that’s clear then!
Ah yes! Peace through WAR!
I hope California will cut what the State gives to Federal Government by a commensurate amount
Putin finally responds to Peace Meeting requests 1. Ukr must give up the Donbas 2. Ukr must never join NATO or a NATO like organisation 3. Ukr must never allow NATO troops on its territory He doesn’t want much does he? Except War, not Peace, WAR!
Imagine: The POTUS had to walk out of an unprecedented ‘All Allies Leaders’ meeting in the Oval Office to go & call Putin privately for 40mins… What for? Instructions… No wonder they were angry. What’s that about? Who is this guy? Who’s briefing him? Who is he representing here?
Imagine: The POTUS had to leave an unprecedented ‘All Allies Leaders’ meeting in the Oval Office to go & call Putin privately for 40mins… What for? Instructions… No wonder they were angry. Who is this guy? Who’s briefing him? Who is he representing? It’s not us… Z is the Ukr leader, full stop!
Summary of today’s EU/US agreement; ➡️ tariff limit for pharma’ and semiconductors ➡️ 15% tariff ceiling for most products, including cars and pharma’ ➡️ 0/0 tariffs on aircraft, cork and generic pharma’ ➡️ commitment to reduce tariffs further ➡️ continued access to the US market, ie, 20% of EU exports
Yes! White, privileged, entitled Lady. Let’s focus on the benefits of slavery I’m sure we’ll get to “well! I’m only a ‘soft’ racist, & it was all so long ago… I mean it’s not like that now, is it?”
Putin’s ’Diplomatic’ answer is pretty clear then, isn’t it? Peace thru annihilation…
Eu people are past turning on their TV’s, channels, radios, podcasts, feeds & every day seeing/hearing the top line item as “Today… Donald Trump said…” Nobody cares what he says (or does mostly). He’s a fraud, a moron & if the US wants to continue this Reality TV stuff, then do it on your own…
It seems that despite all the hype, current AI is a text based input/output system, based on text & graphic search results & best algorithmic sorted return It still falls short of human-level reasoning and far short strategic reasoning or decision making It’s a better search engine!
Central Casting… wheeled in straight from the ‘Make Up Trailer’!
As the Western World watches America become not Ronald Regan’s “Land of the Free”, but the new Republicans’ ‘Land of the Whites Only’ Getting what they voted for! A racist misogynistic country
Probably true, it seems that Ukr offered Trump up to $100bn in weapons purchase, in exchange for US being an integral part of Ukr security guarantees The deal to be financed by Eu & delivered through NATO But (kicker) it would be paid for primarily out of the $300bn Ru S Wealth Fund in EU Banks
Good for you.
Read a history book!
Eu/US must stop the 3.5m b/d of W Urals Ru oil being exported thru the Black Sea. It can be done by 2ndary tariffs on receiving countries M East can easily replace supply & is ramping up to do that If stopped, Ru has no storage & has to shut production. This would be disastrous to the Ru economy

Only since 2014. In the 9th century it was Kiev
Oh! So now they’ve realised that their much vaunted SCOTUS Presidential Immunity ruling applies to Democrats too How unfortunate for them!
Hegseth will go down as an incompetent buffoon Imagine, he changed the aid’s office next to his into a ‘make up room’ In the Pentagon, no more, no less Then imagine what the Senior Staff/Generals around him must think of him…
Where are they? They’re on holidays, they left the phone with the kids….
I know yeah! He’s there… Sitting in his fake gold Louis XIV Oval Office waiting for Jesus to re-appear & give him redemption…

You’re not even gonna find a 2 page memo We know because Japan, S Korea, EU, have already told us. There is no agreements, just handshakes & tweets “Agreements in Principle” I think they said
Really!! REALLY?? That’s what you saw, what you report from yesterday?? Are you living in the same reality as the rest of us? That’s just ridiculous….
It was a typical European, polite, mannerly, profusely flattering…. Ambush! & it seems it worked… they set & controlled the Agenda & walked away with tangible results they could use & build on Well Done Z… Well Done Eu…
