Europe Faces a MAGA ‘Vibe-Shift’ as Trump Moves to His Primordial Objective – The Global Reset

If Europe pretends to replace the U.S., it is going to be extremely expensive, very politically costly, and it will fail.

President Trump wants Ukraine settled, full stop. This is so that he can move ahead quickly – to normalise with Russia, and begin the ‘big picture’ project of setting a new World Order, one that will end wars and facilitate business ties.

The point here – which Europe feigns to not understand – is that the end to the Ukraine conflict simply is Trump’s ‘gateway’ to the entire ...

President Trump, Where Are Those Long-Secret JFK Records?

It has now been two months since Donald Trump assumed the presidency. The question naturally arises: Where are those long-secret JFK Records that he repeatedly promised to release to the American people? Or to be more precise, why are those long-secret JFK records still secret? What’s up with the delay, President Trump?

After all, it takes about one minute to write and sign an executive order that states as follows: “I, President Donald Trump, hereby order the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon, the Nat...

The Faulty Metaphors of Appeasement and Molotov Ribbentrop Pact

We all rely on metaphors to make the present more understandable. I did the same when I compared Trump’s presidency to the era of Khrushchev.

The widely accepted narrative is that the historical parallel for Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine lies in the political events preceding the outbreak of the Second World War. According to this view, Nazi Germany’s successful aggressive moves to seize Austria and the predominantly German-populated territories of Czechoslovakia—facilitated by th...

Arthur Koestler and the Generation of Adventure

The intellectual and moral level of European elites is shockingly low. I say shockingly because as an American I found the European (and British) accents gave a very sophisticated quality to their discourse. Now, after living in France for almost twenty years, they sound as idiotic as the typical US senator. See the recent Macron and Baerbock speeches as prime examples of this descent. Or maybe it is just that I understand the world a bit better now.

I put the current generation in contrast to t...

The Dangerous Automation of Information

I feel one of the greatest issues in healthcare (which is a reflection of the society at large) is that things are so rushed there isn’t time for doctors to connect with their patients. Because of this, a lot of the most critical parts of medicine get missed and I’ve known so many patients who were harmed by the medical system because of the 15 minute visit model. As such, my original goal here was to be able to connect with everyone who reached out to me, but now, due to how many correspondence...

Is President Trump an Israeli Puppet?

President Trump has given every indication that he is as concerned with Israel’s interest as he is with the interests of MAGA Americans.  I have expressed the hope that Trump’s sickening kowtowing to Israel is a strategy to keep the Israel Lobby off his back until he can deal with other opponents who stand in the way of his domestic agenda.  I still have this hope, but it has been shaken by the Trump administration’s sacrifice of constitutionally protected free speech in order to protect Israel ...

The Glow of the Gaslight

CBS 60-Minutes’ Gaslighter-in-Chief Scott Pelley was at it again Sunday night trying to put over the story that Donald Trump had unfairly cashiered a broad swathe of federal agency Inspectors General — whose job it is to investigate crime, mischief, and administrative malfeasance. In the spotlight sat one Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel to the independent Office of Special Counsel, who just resigned after a court battle over his firing weeks ago.

Do you have any idea what a laugh riot that is...

Bad News Comes in Small Packages

There’s a change taking place in supermarkets – one that’s going largely unnoticed, in spite of the fact that it’s becoming a new norm.

Packaging for products, particularly foodstuffs, is getting downsized. Folger’s coffee, Chobani Yoghurt, Fritos, etc. – all are being offered in smaller packages than before.

The resizing is not dramatic; in fact, it’s so small – sometimes less than 10% – that it’s hard to imagine why they’re bothering to do it.

This is particularly true of items that come in pl...

It’s Rescission Time

The politicians who run the GOP on Capitol Hill are about ready to rug-pull Elon Musk and his patron in the Oval Office big time. That is, the so-called “clean CR [continuing resolution]” that Speaker Johnson is apparently cooking up will ratify the entirety of the runaway spending in the last Biden budget, thereby cancelling virtually every single dime that the DOGE operation has purportedly saved.

This awful outlook, of course, is a consequence of the stacked institutional mechanics that Elon ...
