TRUMP BDAY COSTS $60 MILLION

WOW! Americans were astounded to find out the true cost of President Trump's upcoming UFC birthday spectacle. New legal filings give a detailed overview of "UFC Freedom 250," the president's planned weekend-long extravaganza on the White House grounds. Court documents submitted on Wednesday brought the shocking costs to light. Trump's whim to have a UFC match on the South Lawn for his 80th birthday has cost over $60 million to set up. This massive production involves nearly 500 portable restrooms, hundreds of transport vehicles, as many as 900 contractors, and the cooperation of seven federal agencies. https://www.aol.com/articles/eye-watering-cost-donald-trumps-130000000.html PG

TRUMP TURNS 80 TODAY

Hardly no news about this at all... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/trump-holds-phone-calls-with-putin-and-zelensky-on-his-80th-birthday/ar-AA25CXPw?ocid=BingNewsSerp

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRUMP

HARDLY ANY NEWS ABOUT THIS IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA. HAPPY BDAY DJ TTRUMP ANYWAY!!! Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American politician, media personality, and businessman who is the 47th president of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021. Born into a wealthy New York City family, Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968 with a bachelor's degree in economics. He became the president of his family's real estate business in 1971, renamed it the Trump Organization, and began acquiring and building skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. He launched side ventures, many licensing the Trump name, and filed for six business bankruptcies in the 1990s and 2000s. From 2004 to 2015, he hosted the reality television show The Apprentice, bolstering his fame as a billionaire. Presenting himself as a political outsider, Trump won the 2016 presidential election against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton. During his first presidency, Trump imposed a travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries, expanded the Mexico–United States border wall, and enforced a family separation policy on the border. He rolled back environmental and business regulations, signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and appointed three Supreme Court justices. He withdrew the U.S. from agreements on climate and trade, and started a trade war with China. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, he downplayed its severity, contradicted health officials, and signed the CARES Act. After losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, Trump refused to concede defeat and attempted to overturn the result, culminating in the January 6 Capitol attack in 2021. He was impeached twice—in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress and in 2021 for incitement of insurrection—and acquitted by the Senate both times. In 2023, Trump was found liable in New York state civil cases for sexual abuse and defamation and for business fraud. In May 2024, he was found guilty in a New York state court on 34 counts of falsifying business records, making him the first U.S. president convicted of a felony. After winning the 2024 presidential election against Vice President Kamala Harris, he was given a no-penalty sentence, and two federal felony indictments for retention of classified documents and obstruction of the 2020 election were dismissed without prejudice. Trump began his second presidency by initiating mass layoffs of federal workers. He imposed tariffs on nearly all countries at the highest level since the Great Depression and signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. His administration's actions—including the targeting of political opponents and civil society, restriction of transgender rights, mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, and extensive use of executive orders—have drawn over 550 lawsuits challenging their legality. In Latin America, he pursued a campaign to attack alleged drug traffickers, and ordered a military raid into Venezuela to capture the country's president. In February 2026, he authorized joint U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran that resulted in the 2026 Iran war. Since 2015, Trump's leadership style and political agenda—often referred to as Trumpism—have reshaped the Republican Party's identity. Many of his comments and actions have been characterized as racist or misogynistic. He has made many false or misleading statements during his campaigns and presidency, to a degree unprecedented in American politics, and promotes conspiracy theories. Trump's actions have been described by researchers as authoritarian and contributing to democratic backsliding. After his first term, scholars and historians ranked him as one of the worst presidents in American history. PG

HOLD GOLD & REAL ESTATE

In uncertain times you always need Gold and Rea Estate holding in your portfolio as Buffet, Dalio and Trump stress. DALIO RECENTLY SAID; More recently, he reiterated the point, noting that “in a time of great stress, what you’ll find is that the gold will do well [when the other] assets don’t.” Long seen as the ultimate safe haven, gold isn’t tied to any single country, currency or economy. It can’t be printed out of thin air like fiat money and in times of economic turmoil or geopolitical uncertainty, investors tend to pile in — driving up its value. The asset that made Trump rich If gold is the go-to hedge for moments of chaos, real estate is the long game — and no one knows that better than Trump himself. Before politics, Trump made his fortune in real estate — and the asset class remains a powerful tool for building and preserving wealth, especially during inflationary times. That’s because property values and rental income tend to rise along with the cost of living. Unlike some other investments, real estate doesn’t need a roaring stock market to deliver returns. Even during downturns, high-quality properties can generate rental income — offering a dependable stream of passive cash flow. As Trump told Steve Forbes back in 2011, “I just notice that when you have that right piece of property, whatever it might be, including location, it tends to work well in good times and in bad times.” Today, you don’t need to buy a property outright to benefit from real estate investing. Crowdfunding platforms like Arrived offer an easier way to get exposure to this income-generating asset class. PG

AMERICANS PAUSE DEFENSE CO-OPERATION WITH CANADA

In a post on X on May 18, Elbridge Colby, the under secretary of defence for policy at the Pentagon, announced that the United States would pause its participation in the Permanent Joint Board on Defense (PJBD) to “reassess how this forum benefits shared North American defense.” The under secretary pointed to Canada failing to make credible progress on its defence commitments as well as to Canadian rhetoric, a jab at Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech in Davos about middle powers co-operating in the face of hegemonic powers, as the reasons for the US decision. The move comes barely six weeks ahead of the mandatory joint review of the US–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), which Canada is heavily reliant on, as well as amid a climate of worsening bilateral relations since President Donald Trump’s own rhetoric about making Canada the fifty-first state and the imposition of tariffs on Canadian trade. IN PG'S OPINION CANADA'S TOP 3 TRADING PARTNERS SHOULD BE; 1. EU 2. CHINA 3. JAPAN LET America continue to isolate itself until Covil War breaks out to remove the TRUMP administration. https://thewalrus.ca/canada-and-america-are-drifting-apart-the-pentagon-just-made-it-official/ Feel free to email me at paymentguy@gmail.com anytime.

CANADA SHOUD BUY SWEDISH

FIGHTER JETS I MEAN. HAVING LIVED AND STUDIED AND WORKED IN STOCKHOLM 25 YEARS AGO, I AM A BIG FANOF THE SWEDES. THEY ARE SMARTER AND CLASSIER THAN AMERICAN THUGS. THEY MAKE BETTER PARTNERS. THAT'S WHY CARNEY AND CANADA SHOULD BUY SWEDISH FIGHTER JETS RATHER THAN AMERICAN F-35'S. https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/canada-s-f-35-delay-pentagon-raises-alarm-on-airpower-readiness/ar-AA241TKH?ocid=BingNewsVerp Saab Gripen: A Compelling Alternative Canada’s consideration of the Saab Gripen alongside or instead of the F-35 isn’t just political posturing — it reflects legitimate operational and economic advantages that the Swedish fighter offers. The Gripen has proven particularly well-suited for countries with challenging operational environments and limited defense budgets. The Gripen’s lower operating costs represent a significant advantage for Canada’s defense budget. While the F-35’s complex systems require specialized maintenance facilities and extensive training, the Gripen was designed for simpler, more cost-effective operations. This operational simplicity could be particularly valuable for Canada’s remote northern bases where complex maintenance infrastructure is limited. Swedish industry has also offered substantial domestic industrial benefits as part of a potential Gripen purchase, including technology transfers and domestic production opportunities that could strengthen Canada’s aerospace sector. This “domestic control” aspect appeals to Canadian policymakers who want greater sovereignty over their defense capabilities. The Gripen’s cold-weather performance and ability to operate from shorter runways could also make it better suited for Canada’s Arctic operations, where the F-35’s more complex systems might face greater challenges. Implications for NORAD and Continental Defense The stakes of Canada’s F-35 delays extend far beyond bilateral relations — they threaten the very foundation of North American security architecture. NORAD modernization depends on both nations fielding compatible, advanced fighter aircraft capable of intercepting modern threats including cruise missiles and hypersonic weapons. Canada’s vast Arctic territory requires constant surveillance and patrol capabilities that aging CF-18s can no longer provide effectively. The capability gap leaves critical air approaches to North America inadequately defended, potentially compromising the entire continental defense system. The delays also impact Canada’s ability to contribute meaningfully to NATO missions and coalition operations. As threats evolve and adversaries deploy increasingly sophisticated aircraft and weapons systems, Canada risks being left behind with outdated capabilities that limit its strategic value to allies. This situation puts additional strain on an already complex relationship between two nations that must work seamlessly together for continental defense. The Pentagon’s suspension of the PJBD reflects genuine concern that Canada may not be a reliable partner for shared security responsibilities. A Pattern of Procurement Problems Canada’s F-35 delays fit into a troubling pattern of defense procurement challenges that have plagued the country for decades. The Sea King helicopter replacement took over 20 years to complete, while the national shipbuilding strategy has faced repeated delays and cost overruns. This history of procurement dysfunction has eroded confidence among allies and defense industry partners. The political nature of Canadian defense procurement, where major acquisitions often become electoral issues rather than capability decisions, has contributed to this dysfunction. Each change of government brings new reviews, delays, and sometimes complete program cancellations that waste billions of dollars and years of progress. Charting a Path Forward Canada faces a critical decision point that will define its defense relationship with the United States and its role in global security for decades to come. The Pentagon’s unprecedented suspension of the PJBD serves as a wake-up call that business as usual is no longer acceptable. Resolving this crisis will require decisive action from Canadian leadership and a commitment to following through on defense spending promises. Whether Canada ultimately chooses the F-35, Gripen, or some combination of both matters less than making a decision and sticking with it. The longer Canada delays, the wider the capability gap grows and the more strained the relationship with its most important ally becomes. With global tensions rising and new threats emerging, Canada can’t afford to keep kicking the can down the road on critical defense decisions. The Pentagon’s alarm is clear — it’s time for Canada to step up and demonstrate that it’s serious about defending North America. FAQ What is the Permanent Joint Board on Defense (PJBD)? The PJBD is the highest-level forum for U.S.-Canada defense coordination, established in 1940 through the Ogdensburg Agreement. It has operated continuously for 86 years until its recent suspension, facilitating bilateral defense planning and cooperation through major conflicts and security challenges. Why is the Pentagon concerned about Canada’s F-35 delays? The Pentagon views the delays as indicative of Canada’s broader reluctance to meet defense spending commitments and take continental security seriously. The aging CF-18 fleet creates capability gaps that affect NORAD operations and North American defense readiness. What are the main advantages of the Saab Gripen over the F-35 for Canada? The Gripen offers lower operating costs, simpler maintenance requirements, better cold-weather performance, shorter runway capabilities, and potential for greater domestic industrial benefits. Its operational simplicity could be particularly valuable for Canada’s remote Arctic bases. How much is Canada planning to spend on defense? Canada plans to spend over $82 billion on capabilities over five years and $87 billion on NORAD modernization over 20 years. The U.S. wants Canada to increase defense spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2035, up from the 2% target Canada is meeting for the first time in 2025. What are the main problems with the F-35 program? The F-35 has faced significant challenges including its 8th Pentagon audit failure, 238-day development delays, a 51% readiness rate in the U.S. Air Force, and delays in the Block 4 upgrade program that would provide enhanced combat capabilities. How do these delays affect North American security? The delays create capability gaps in continental air defense, particularly in Canada’s vast Arctic territory. This compromises NORAD’s ability to detect and intercept modern threats like cruise missiles and hypersonic weapons, potentially leaving critical air approaches to North America inadequately defended.

Did Trump Rape A 13 Tear Old (Girl)?

In addition to his friendship with Epstein, which stretched from the 1980s until the two had a falling out over a business deal in the 2000s, Trump is also accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old who he met through the convicted sex trafficker. “In 2019, Jane Doe came forward and was interviewed by the FBI 4 times about her encounters in the early 1980s,” the Post and Courier reported. “This was the individual that Hillary Clinton referenced in her comments to the House Oversight and Reform Committee.” Testifying before the House Oversight Committee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked why the Trump administration has refused to further their investigation into this account. The FBI interviewed this 13 year old 4 times: During the testimony, Clinton commented, "And this latest example of the missing files about the allegations, and they are absolutely nothing more than allegations, but the FBI interviewed that witness four times. You don't interview a non-credible witness four times. You don't put into the FBI reporting 'protect this source' if you think there is nothing to it. So, of course, I would like to know, like every other American deserves to know, what is in those files and who is going to hold people accountable? Because the Justice Department seems to be either unwilling or incapable of doing so." Longtime Epstein reporter and researcher Julie K. Brown wrote about Doe in a report for the Miami Herald last week. She noted on Substack, "This story is massive, and it will take a village of journalists to put the threads together." https://www.alternet.org/jeffrey-epstein-donald-trump-2675920084/

Trump Aging Poorly

He stays up late, phoning lawyers and lawmakers, while posting up to 150 times a night on Truth Social. His mornings involve calls with world leaders about the war in the Middle East, or talks with landscapers about replanting a bothersome tree. When he arrives in the Oval Office, his unstructured days unfold like a time-lapse video, with people zipping around him as he stays seated at the center of the frame. As President Trump turns 80 on Sunday, he is so intent on projecting an image of relentless energy that he has installed a massive, mixed martial arts octagon on the South Lawn to mark the occasion. After watching the fight, Mr. Trump will depart Washington in the middle of the night and cross an ocean for a diplomatic summit in France. It is a schedule that seems devised to ward off questions about age and stamina as he begins his ninth decade. But even for a president known for imposing his own reality on every situation, Mr. Trump is facing scrutiny over his age that has grown more intense with each passing year. A Reuters/Ipsos poll taken in February showed that nearly six in 10 Americans think Mr. Trump is growing more erratic. On Monday, Mr. Trump appeared to doze off during a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. That episode prompted such intense speculation that James Dolan, a prominent ally and the team’s owner, felt compelled to weigh in publicly, saying the president “was very much awake.” On June 4, during an hourlong appearance in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump leaned to the side in his chair, closing his eyes for a few seconds as Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, spoke about the importance of coal. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/us/politics/trump-age-birthday-80.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qFA.6DzW.-4PKy4QUW625&smid=url-share

SuperAgers

Scientists have discovered why a lucky few people in their 80s retain razor-sharp memories - performing as well as those three decades younger. The remarkable group, dubbed SuperAgers, appear to resist the usual signs of cognitive decline because their brains stay biologically young. Researchers in the US found they were far less likely to have a build-up of two toxic proteins - amyloid and tau - which are known to spread through the brain and cause memory problems. These proteins can form plaques and tangles that interfere with brain cell function and are thought to drive Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. The team also discovered that super-agers showed no significant thinning of their cortex - the brain's outer layer, which plays a key role in decision-making and memory. Experts said the findings, described as 'earth-shattering', could pave the way for new methods to prevent or delay memory decline in later life. Professor Sandra Weintraub, a neuropsychologist at Northwestern University in Illinois, said: 'Our findings show that exceptional memory in old age is not only possible but is linked to a distinct neurobiological profile. 'This opens the door to new interventions aimed at preserving brain health well into the later decades of life.' The term SuperAger was coined in the late 1990s by Dr M. Marsel Mesulam, founder of the Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease at Northwestern University in the US. To qualify as a SuperAger, participants must be aged 80 or over and score as well as someone in their 50s or 60s on a standard memory recall test, remembering at least nine out of 15 words after a delay. They must also perform normally for their age on other cognitive measures such as language, attention and executive function, and have no history of neurological or psychiatric illness that could affect performance. Those accepted into the programme are reassessed annually with brain scans and cognitive testing – and many later choose to donate their brains for research. Since 2000, some 290 SuperAgers have taken part in the programme, with researchers examining 77 of their donated brains after death. Some of these brains contained the toxic amyloid and tau proteins - also known as plaques and tangles - that are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, while others showed no build-up at all. Professor Sandra Weintraub said: 'What we realised is there are two mechanisms that lead someone to become a SuperAger.

French Far Right Rejects Trump

BRUSSELS — If Jordan Bardella becomes France’s next president, don’t expect him to be Donald Trump’s man in Europe. The 30-year-old leader of France’s far-right National Rally — and the favorite to replace Marine Le Pen if she is barred from running in 2027 — sought during a 45-minute exclusive interview with POLITICO to put distance between himself and the U.S. president he once openly admired. Trump’s behavior is “not only erratic but also extremely unsteady and constantly shifting,” said Bardella in the interview, which will be released in its entirety Monday. Asked how he views the American president, he said: “It depends on the day. There’s a Monday attitude, a Tuesday attitude, a Wednesday attitude.” https://www.politico.eu/article/frances-far-right-frontrunner-jordan-bardella-rejects-us-donald-trumps-backing/

Trump-Family Investments In Virtual Currency Worth Billions

Reuters reported this month that the Trump family’s crypto ventures, led by WLF, have generated billions of dollars in paper gains and become one of the largest sources of wealth tied to the president and his family. World Liberty announced the company was creating a “bonus pool” for the event the company and quoted Zach Witkoff, Steve Witkoff’s son and CEO of World Liberty Financial. “We believe this is the future of finance, and we’re excited to partner with UFC,” he said, “which has done more than any organization to modernize the business of sports”. World Liberty was dogged by controversies surrounding its digital “governance token”, a type of crypto it sold, and is in litigation with Justin Sun, the crypto tycoon who was an early buyer of the tokens. He sued the company this year alleging it improperly froze his tokens, and World Liberty sued him for defamation. The USD1 stablecoins are separate from the tokens and are tradable digital assets that are backed by dollar reserves. The firm has also applied for a banking license from the Office of Comptroller of the Currency.

Trump $$$, Threatening Canada & Cage-Fighting B-Day Parties While In Office Crosses A Line

This was inevitable. But profiting from the Presidency is not only unseemly, it is un-American and illegal. And this Dana White guy is a loud mouth untalented Ahole. Sad... The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) announced on Friday that it will pay bonuses to fighters in a form of cryptocurrency issued by Trump family business World Liberty Financial at the heavily publicized White House mixed martial arts event on Sunday. The development connects the Trump family’s financial interests to the high-profile UFC competition being promoted on government property. The competition on the south White House lawn is scheduled for 14 June, Donald Trump’s birthday. The UFC said some fighters will receive bonuses in World Liberty Financial crypto called “stablecoins”, whose value is pegged to the US dollar. World Liberty named the currency “USD1”. World Liberty is a venture of the Trump family and the family of Steven Witkoff, Trump’s friend and special envoy to the Middle East. The company is now listed as an “official sponsor” of UFC Freedom 250, the fight scheduled for Sunday. The use of its stablecoin in the fight would appear to boost efforts to have it used more more broadly. White House spokesman Davis Ingle said there is no conflict of interest and that Trump’s assets are in a trust managed by his children. “The Fake News’ continued attempts to fabricate conflicts of interest are irresponsible and reinforce the public’s distrust in what they read.” The fight is not linked to America250, a separate organization promoting the 250th anniversary of the country. World Liberty Financial, a Delaware-based cryptocurrency venture co-founded by Donald Trump and his sons in 2024 alongside the Witkoff sons , has emerged as one of the highest-profile businesses connected to the president’s family. At one point, Trump Sr was publicly listed by the company as its “Chief Crypto Advocate”. His financial disclosure form lists his holdings in World Liberty Financial as “over $50m ”. Reuters reported this month that the Trump family’s crypto ventures, led by WLF, have generated billions of dollars in paper gains and become one of the largest sources of wealth tied to the president and his family.

The USD1 stablecoins are separate from the tokens and are tradable digital assets that are backed by dollar reserves. The firm has also applied for a banking license from the Office of Comptroller of the Currency. World Liberty Financial’s role in the festivities emerged only this week. The company first announced it was an official sponsor of the event on Wednesday 10 June via x.com. The next day, on Thursday, the UFC announced it was distributing bonuses to fighters in a separate cryptocurrency called CRO. Then on Friday at 9.30pm, the UFC issued a press release to say World Liberty Financial would be the “Presenting Partner of a new $250,000 Performance of the Night bonus pool”. The UFC revealed it was to make those payments in USD1. “This sounds like advertising,” Todd Phillips, an expert in crypto at the Klaros Group, told the Guardian. He said “Paying the fighters in the USD1 stablecoin would have the same economic function as writing them a check but announcing to the world they are doing it in USD1 sounds like they are adverting to the world that USD1 is out there and that it is connected to the UFC and the White House. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/14/white-house-ufc-fighters-crypto

The UFC said some fighters will receive bonuses in World Liberty Financial crypto called “stablecoins”, whose value is pegged to the US dollar. World Liberty named the currency “USD1”. World Liberty is a venture of the Trump family and the family of Steven Witkoff, Trump’s friend and special envoy to the Middle East. The company is now listed as an “official sponsor” of UFC Freedom 250, the fight scheduled for Sunday. The use of its stablecoin in the fight would appear to boost efforts to have it used more more broadly. White House spokesman Davis Ingle said there is no conflict of interest and that Trump’s assets are in a trust managed by his children. “The Fake News’ continued attempts to fabricate conflicts of interest are irresponsible and reinforce the public’s distrust in what they read.” The fight is not linked to America250, a separate organization promoting the 250th anniversary of the country. World Liberty Financial, a Delaware-based cryptocurrency venture co-founded by Donald Trump and his sons in 2024 alongside the Witkoff sons , has emerged as one of the highest-profile businesses connected to the president’s family. At one point, Trump Sr was publicly listed by the company as its “Chief Crypto Advocate”. His financial disclosure form lists his holdings in World Liberty Financial as “over $50m ”. Reuters reported this month that the Trump family’s crypto ventures, led by WLF, have generated billions of dollars in paper gains and become one of the largest sources of wealth tied to the president and his family. World Liberty announced the company was creating a “bonus pool” for the event the company and quoted Zach Witkoff, Steve Witkoff’s son and CEO of World Liberty Financial. “We believe this is the future of finance, and we’re excited to partner with UFC,” he said, “which has done more than any organization to modernize the business of sports”. World Liberty was dogged by controversies surrounding its digital “governance token”, a type of crypto it sold, and is in litigation with Justin Sun, the crypto tycoon who was an early buyer of the tokens. He sued the company this year alleging it improperly froze his tokens, and World Liberty sued him for defamation. The USD1 stablecoins are separate from the tokens and are tradable digital assets that are backed by dollar reserves. The firm has also applied for a banking license from the Office of Comptroller of the Currency. World Liberty Financial’s role in the festivities emerged only this week. The company first announced it was an official sponsor of the event on Wednesday 10 June via x.com. The next day, on Thursday, the UFC announced it was distributing bonuses to fighters in a separate cryptocurrency called CRO. Then on Friday at 9.30pm, the UFC issued a press release to say World Liberty Financial would be the “Presenting Partner of a new $250,000 Performance of the Night bonus pool”. The UFC revealed it was to make those payments in USD1. “This sounds like advertising,” Todd Phillips, an expert in crypto at the Klaros Group, told the Guardian. He said “Paying the fighters in the USD1 stablecoin would have the same economic function as writing them a check but announcing to the world they are doing it in USD1 sounds like they are adverting to the world that USD1 is out there and that it is connected to the UFC and the White House. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/14/white-house-ufc-fighters-crypto

DJ Trump Can't Walk Straight

With Donald Trump fast approaching his 80th birthday, critics are constantly pointing out physical and cognitive health concerns while wondering if he’s fit enough to hold his office as president. One such discussion gripped social media after footage emerged of Trump climbing down an airplane and making his way towards reporters after attending the Knicks-Spurs game in NYC. In the clip, the president can be seen holding onto railings while climbing down the stairs, and then shuffling from side to side on his way to the press. This led netizens and critics to raise concerns surrounding his health and call for the 25th Amendment, which enables the legal process for transferring presidential power. Donald Trump’s Wobbly Walk Raises Health Scare After the footage of Donald Trump failing to walk in a straight line before approaching the press went viral on social media, people raised health concerns surrounding the head of the nation. Liberal political commentator and social media influencer Harry Sisson took to his X account and tweeted, “He’d fail a field sobriety test. Trump can’t walk in a straight line anymore. 25th Amendment NOW.” Social media sensation and political firebrand Joanne Carducci, aka JoJoFromJerz, also addressed Trump’s bizarre walk and tweeted, “Are we just not gonna talk about the fact that he cannot manage to walk in a straight line?” https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/critics-warn-of-cognitive-decline-after-donald-trump-fails-to-walk-in-a-straight-line/ar-AA25jbIZ?ocid=BingNewsSerp

Antonelli Not Named After Kimi Raikkonen

Few young drivers have garnered as much attention as Andrea Kimi Antonelli before even turning a wheel in Formula 1. The Mercedes Academy driver has been under the limelight for potentially replacing the outgoing Lewis Hamilton ever since the latter announced his move to Ferrari for 2025. Amid these speculations, Antonelli’s middle name — Kimi has also caught the attention of many. There has been a popular belief that Antonelli was named after Kimi Raikkonen. The 18-year-old’s father, Marco Antonelli has been a big fan of Raikkonen. Thus, it could have influenced him to name his son after the last Ferrari world champion. However, that is far from the reality, as Antonelli himself revealed in an interview a couple of years ago. I don't believe this is not a conincidence.

Oliver Baerman

This guy has "presence" Oliver Bearman As an official Ferrari reserve he made his F1 race debut in Saudi Arabia 2024 in place of the ill Carlos Sainz. That was after the young Bearman had got his first taste of F1 machinery with the Scuderia towards the end of 2023, in preparation for a pair of FP1 outings for Haas at the Mexican and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix. He would go on to complete several more F1 test runs whilst also competing in F2 with the Prema Racing team, winning four races and placing sixth in the feeder series standings that year. After a tough start to the 2024 campaign for Prema in Bahrain, Bearman struck back to claim pole position at the high-speed Jeddah track but, with Sainz-subbing duties calling, he was required to temporarily drop his F2 commitments. Not that he was complaining - a stunning performance saw the young Englishman score six points for seventh place in his first Grand Prix, enhancing his future F1 prospects no end. Indeed, that drive helped him secure a full-time F1 seat with the Ferrari-powered Haas squad for 2025 – as well as an early Grand Prix debut with them in Azerbaijan ’24, as team regular Kevin Magnussen served out a one-race ban. And after taking the best result of the American team’s ’25 campaign with a fourth place in Mexico – as well as outscoring the highly-experienced Esteban Ocon on the other side of the garage – Bearman still has the ultimate Ferrari prize firmly in his sights. www.formula1.com/en/drivers/oliver-bearman

NUKING IRAN

PG predicts DJ TRUMP and America will Nuke Iran and its Towel-headed Mullahs into dust rather than lose the War conventinoally.... The US war on Iran distracts from big problems and is a "distraction" from Trump's politicla domestic failing s and his own personal legal jepardy of impeachment. 1. It divert public attention from America's problems and projects military strength, 2. It aims to distract from the escalating political fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which threatens to expose more powerful figures, 3. It deflect from the severe economic crisis, particularly the unsustainable wealth gap and the erosion of the middle class, 4. It gives Trump immunity from Legal Prosecutionand proceedings while it rages, and 5. It covers and distracts from Jewish - Israeli atrocities in the Middle East/Palestine.

Iran vs USA - Who Won? Or Is The War Still Raging?

Will the Americans lost the Iranaian War and end their World Leadership? “The U.S. dollar was the currency used everywhere in the world, the U.S. Navy protected shipping and made sure that the United States got what it wanted out of any other country in the world. People like you and me, we lived in a time when the American empire was dominant and it was growing. Here comes the hard part: that part of American history is over! It's not coming back, it's done.” Iran appears to have emerged from the conflict with the United States as a new “major world power,” having been able to withstand the full military might of the United States and survive largely intact. As such, Wolff argued, the global perception of the United States would likely shift following the war, and to such an extent as to cause great economic damage. “The damage to the American economy, which is already declining, will be huge. Every small country in the world has had their problems with the United States. Now they can imagine winning,” Wolff said. “They haven't been able to imagine that for 75 years, and that's a new exciting option. When you put that together with the fact that they can turn to China to buy and sell almost everything, what do they need the United States for?” And, as noted by Wolff, the decision to launch the U.S. war against Iran was made by President Donald Trump, who he described as “not the sharpest knife in the drawer.” “Not a good time to be Donald Trump, even in MAGA land, they're having doubts about it,” Wolff said. PG disagrees. Again, as before, Trump and the American-Jewish Empire will NUKE Iran to DEATH before losing and ssacrificing their World Dominant Economic - Military Status... This Jewish-American Richard Wolff continues: The US war on Iran is a "distraction from three big problems" and is a "distraction" American economist Richard Wolff analyzed that the US decision to wage war on Iran is driven by three key domestic political factors. 1. First, it serves to divert public attention from America's relative national decline by projecting an image of military strength, he said. 2. Second, it aims to distract from the escalating political fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which threatens to expose more powerful figures, Wolff added. 3. Finally, it is a tactic to deflect from the severe economic crisis, particularly the unsustainable wealth gap and the erosion of the middle class, he noted This OLD AMERICAN JEW FAUX-ACADEMIC IS A JOKE. The WAR is still raging and DJ TRump would rather die n office than lose to Iran and its Mullahs. America will NUKE Iran into OBLIVIAN rather than LOSE ... PG

Oliver Bearman Eats A Lot of Fruit + Omellettes

Oliver Bearman was surprised to reach Q2 at the Barcelona Grand Prix after battling the “worst” Formula 1 car he’s ever driven that morning in final practice. The Haas driver will start Sunday’s contest in 15th for what is his best qualifying result since the Miami Grand Prix, where he took 13th en route to 11th in that race. But the 21-year-old feared a Q1 exit in Spain after overnight car tweaks backfired for Haas, leaving Bearman to struggle with the VF-26 in FP3 as he finished 17th heading into qualifying. The saving grace for the Briton was completing the joint-most laps in Q1 - nine - to eventually finish 11th and progress into Q2, which proved to be the limit of what his car could achieve. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/oliver-bearman-surprised-q2-barcelona-111045577.html PG LISKE THE NAME OLIVER.

Jews Destroying Scott Pelley (& His Career)

American Jeiwsh Media Destroying CBS's Scot Pelley Scott Pelley was illegally fired by CBS 60 Minutes because he repeatedly and legitimately questioned and investigated the maltreatment of Arabs by Messianic Israeli Fanatic Settlers. Many of us Canadian and American Citizens stopped watching "60 Minutes" years ago because of its obvious anti-business, leftist bias, despite having been loyal fans for years before that. Scott Pelley was very comfortable in his role during these last days but his questioning Israeli - Arab Racism got his fired. Talented Honorable Chrstians are being played for fools by Jews. And we are tolerating this atm which must end. Now. In his May 24 column, "Jewish hate rising in Ohio; silence of activists unmatched," Philip Derrow criticized antisemites and antisemitism. I introduce a contrary viewpoint that is unrelated to actions by Israel's external enemies like Iran or Palestinian ones like Hamas. The foundation of Israel in 1948 resulted in the forced removal of large numbers of Palestinian Arabs from their homes from the current Israeli state. The their conduct in the contested West Bank area. The true and real character of a substantial percentage of Israeli citizens and their current government is revealed by Belligerent, Violent and Messianic Israelis who have made life very hard and in fact unbearabe for Palestinians there. Israelis have; 1. built exclusively Jewish settlements, 2. are actively evicting Palestinians in the process from their homes, farms and properties, and (bbut not all) 3. Israeli Jews have torched Arab's cars and murdered many of them and Palestinians cannot access a fair judicial system to stop this. For multiple decades now, Canada, EU and of course Jew-Merica has generously supported Israel though Israeli crimes against Palestinians go on unabated. This is unjust and Western Christian are being played for fools. CBS and CNN, which are Jewish News Netwoorks are gone to the dogs. Europe, America and Canada need a proper CNN - a Christian News Network. PG

Trump's Decline

David Pakman, host of "The David Pakman Show" on YouTube, said in a new reaction video that footage of the event does not line up with Trump's explanation of what happened. That juxtaposition illustrates how far Trump is in decline, according to Pakman. "Now, as we are starting to debrief and kind of process everything that took place, it's impossible to ignore that the entire thing again is a reminder of the degree to which Donald Trump is declining," Pakman said. Video from the event shows a swarm of Secret Service agents surrounding Trump to protect him and get him off the stage. It appears as though Trump has a hard time walking off of the stage, as he falls to the ground during the effort. "Donald Trump's denials of what is on video are only further raising questions as to what is wrong with this guy," Pakman said. "And this is not about the politics of it so much as it is about, 'hey, we have the ability to look at what's going on.'" "Then we have someone telling us what your eyes show you was not really what took place," Pakman added about Trump's denials that he fell.

Right now it's a 77 year old retired American Jew with long hair and a tshirt named Aaron David Miller leaning into his laptop camera who calls himself an American diplomat. Pathetic... BTW Google Search says: Aaron David Miller is an American diplomat, Middle East analyst, author, and negotiator who advised six U.S. secretaries of state on Arab-Israeli affairs during a 24-year State Department career. Now a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a CNN Global Affairs Analyst, he formerly led Seeds of Peace and held senior roles at the Woodrow Wilson Center.

WhitesLand - Defining "White" White is a racialized classification of people and a skin color specifier, generally used for people of European origin, although the definition can vary depending on context, nationality, and point of view. Description of populations as "White" in reference to their skin color predates this notion and is occasionally found in Greco-Roman ethnography and other ancient or medieval sources, but these societies did not have any notion of a White or pan-European race. The term "White race" or "White people", defined by their light skin among other physical characteristics, entered the major European languages in the later seventeenth century, when the concept of a "unified White" achieve universal acceptance in Europe, in the context of racialized slavery and unequal social status in the European colonies. Scholarship on race distinguishes the modern concept from pre-modern descriptions, which focused on physical complexion rather than race. Prior to the modern era, no European peoples regarded themselves as "White", but rather defined their race, ancestry, or ethnicity in terms of their nationality. Contemporary anthropologists and other scientists, while recognizing the reality of biological variation between different human populations, regard the concept of a unified, distinguishable "White race" as socially constructed, rather than scientific.

Quite simply, rich American Wites have run out of space - and they need more Land(s) PERIOD!!! Case closed. PG

CNN is African Jewish

I'm watching CNN's Table for 5 and it i s 2 Blacks 2 Jews and a Hispanic. 1 man and 4 women. This racial, sexual and gender diversity pretty much represents the current racial power State of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA lol BTW none of the men have ties. The Black guy has his blue dress shirt with 3 buttons unbottonned. They are arguing back and forth nonstop with no sensible conversation. The gay Jew has a really big mouth. Hilarious. Such unintelligent garbage banter. America has gone to the dogs. Sitty. Sad. Predictable. PG

TRUMPISRAUM (Post 2)

Trump's Leadership is a form of contemprary Lebensraum. I call it TRUMPISRAUM. TRUMP is an ethnic German (Father was German) and Scot (MOther Scottish) who is pursuing American expansionism. This is like the NAZI's in World War 1 and 2 with their National need for more "living space" LEBENSRAUM. American Lebensraum is politically and economically motivated. Essentially TRUMPISRAUM is; 1. A way for TRUMP to stay in office and avoid impeachment (achieve legal imminuty from impeachment); and 2. Enrich his Family by expanding the Trump Family Real Estate Empire. This actually serves America's National interests as the USA is TOO BIG FOR ITS BRITICHES AND NEEDS MORE SPACE and/or STATES. Political Concept Lebensraum Lebensraum, or “living space,” was a central concept in Nazi ideology, combining geopolitics, racial theory, and imperialist ambition. Rooted in earlier European ideas of political geography, it was popularized by figures like Rudolf Kjellen and Karl Haushofer, and ultimately implemented by Hitler to justify territorial expansion into Eastern Europe. Beyond sentiment and pseudoscience, Lebensraum represented a strategy to secure economic prosperity and military dominance for Germany.Science “Our task is to organize the world so that each country produces what it can best produce while the Nordic race undertakes its control.” — Adolf Hitler, 1930s Lebensraum The national socialist theory of territory or space, like the theory of race, was put together from ideas that had been current in Europe for a century. Fundamentally, it was merely an enlargement of plans for a powerful German state in Central and Eastern Europe, which should expand as far as its military powers permitted. Like the racial theory, it was not exclusively German. Economics In fact it was a Swedish political scientist, Rudolf Kjellen of the University of Uppsala, who expanded the plan into a philosophy and gave it the name under which national socialism popularized it, Geopolitik. In origin Kjellen’s geopolitics was a development of an old subject, political geography, especially as that subject was understood by Friedrich Ratzel. Its fundamentally sound scientific idea was that a realistic study of the history and growth of states must include such factors as physical environment, anthropology, sociology, and economics, as well as their constitutional organization and legal structure. Politics In its development it almost lost touch with its geographic starting point. Behind Kjellen’s theorizing there was also a fear of the western extension of Russian power. The national socialist expansion of geopolitics was associated especially with the name of Karl Haushofer, though many other German writers and scholars had a part-in it. Haushofer added little to the scientific definition of the subject, though he and his associates accumulated vast masses of information from all parts of the world about geography or social, economic, and political matters. What tied this miscellaneous material together was not its scientific organization but its possible use by a military general staff to lay out lines of strategy or by a government that was bent on extending its power. Haushofe also made geopolitics into an effective organ of propaganda designed to make Germany space-conscious. These two characteristics were in general what distinguished geopolitics from geography. According to the definition of the subject formulated by the editors of Haushofer’s Zeitschrift fur Geopolitik, it was the art of guiding practical politics and the geographic conscience of the state, practical politics being in substance imperialist expansion. Like the racial theory, geopolitics combined erudition with a pseudo-scientific justification of imperialist politics.Science The distinctive idea in the national socialist theory of imperialism was supplied by an English geographer, Sir Halford J. Mackinder. Earlier imperialist theory, like that for example of Admiral A. T. Mahan, had stressed in the main the importance of naval power and had depended largely on-the history of the British Empire. Mackinder in 1904 put forward the idea that much European history could be explained by the pressure of landlocked peoples in Eastern Europe and Central Asia on the coastal peoples. This vast area he called the pivotal area or the heartland, the core of the world-island (Europe, Asia, and Africa) which makes up two thirds of the world’s land area. Australia and the Americas are merely outlying islands. Consequently, if any state could command the resources of this territory and thus combine sea power with land power it could dominate the world. Mackinder summed up his argument in a kind of aphorism. Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland. Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island. Who rules the World-Island commands the World.History His immediate purpose was to urge the advantages to England of an alliance with Russia, but the meaning of his aphorism was equally clear to Germans. It outlined a project that resolved the uncertainties of German imperialist thought since the Tirpitz naval expansion in 1900, its ambivalence between naval and land power, and the differing points of view of East German Junkers and West German industrialists. In essence both were right, but expansion by land into contiguous territory on the Continent had priority. Initially the problem is Russia, and in theory the problem might be solved either by a Russian alliance or by conquest. France as a land power is decadent, in terms of the racial theory negroid in its ethnic character, and the pattern of British imperialism is outmoded. The object of German diplomacy and strategy must be to immobilize the western powers, but against Russia its object must be dominance. Substantially this was the theory of German politics that Hitler outlined in Mein Kampf, reputedly under the prompting of Haushofer. The fundamental error of the Second Empire, he said, was in choosing the policy of expanding its industries and its exports instead of expanding its territory. The most decisively important events in a thousand years of German history were the colonization of the Ostmark and the area east of the Elbe. The national socialists will terminate the endless German drive to the south and west of Europe, and direct our gaze towards the lands in the East. We can think primarily only of Russia and its vassal border states. Economics The lines of reasoning upon which the national socialist theory of Lebensraum overtly depended were, like the racial theory, a curious mixture of sentiment and dubious science. In part they were addressed to the long-standing tendency of Germans to idealize the medieval empire, which existed long before the American continent had been discovered, and to the myth that all the political and cultural achievements of Central Europe, or even of precommunist Russia, were the work of German minorities. Hence the Germans are the natural leaders and rulers of this region. The generalized and professedly scientific argument of geopolitics largely took the form of a biological analogy. States are organisms and the relation between them is one of natural selection. So long as they are vigorous they grow, and when they cease lo grow they die. A non-expanding state is either decadent or the product of a people that is space-bound and lacks the genius for political construction. Vitally strong states are compelled under the categorical imperative to enlarge their space. The frontiers of a state are its peripheral organs or growing edges. In nature a state has no fixed boundary but only a temporary front line, a point of calm in a running development. A good frontier is one that favors expansion, in short, one that makes infiltration and border incidents easy. Politics Treaties and international law are powerless to limit the mighty natural forces inherent in a Volk, and in general its constitution and its legally created institutions are merely aids to organize and increase its power. Any voluntary limitation of the competitive struggle by birth-control or pacifism merely resigns the future to the inferior races, since struggle is the law of progress. The culturally superior, but less ruthless, races would have to limit, in consequence of their limited soil, their increase even at a time when the culturally inferior, but more brutal and more natural, peoples, in consequence of their greater living areas, would be able to increase themselves without limit. In other words, the world will, therefore, some day come into the hands of a mankind that is inferior in culture but superior in energy and activity. The idea of Lebensraum, therefore, was an adjunct of the idea of the racial folk. Scientifically indeed the two ideas were divergent, for if culture depends on race, it cannot depend on geography. But what united the two was not science. The tie was essentially mystical or emotional. Phrases like the cultural landscape or the folkish soil combined two universal and powerful human feelings, the love that every people feels for its homeland and the love that it feels fur its way of living, and they marshaled these feelings behind a plan of military conquest. Stripped of these sentimental factors the effective reasoning behind the geopolitical concept of Lebensraum relied on the presumption that economic prosperity depends on political control and that both depend on military power. Added to these was the strategical theory outlined above, that military power under modern conditions is land power rather than sea power. The primary consideration was not territory as such, but access to raw materials and a market for manufactured exports.History Hitler’s repeated comparisons between population and area such for example as that the United States has fifteen inhabitants per square kilometer while Germany has a hundred and forty-between the nations that have and the nations that have not or between proletarian and possessing nations, were obviously meaningless except in terms of markets. And the argument that over-population called for expansion depended on the proposition that markets can be gained only by political power. The geopolitical concept of space, therefore, was a figure of speech derived from the advantages that large areas undoubtedly have for military strategy. Literally it meant simply power extended by the conquest of land-areas contiguous to Germany, for purposes of economic exploitation. In this sense also the geopolitical concept of self-sufficiency must be understood.Science The development of internal resources and of substitutes for missing raw materials were not policies, though some national socialists (Gregor Strasser, for example) thought they were. They were measures to gain relative independence of world markets during war. The geopolitical principle that self sufficiency is an attribute of successful states meant that preparedness for war is a permanent necessity, because on it depends a state’s commercial prosperity. Probably the clearest statement ever made of the meaning or Lebensraum was contained in the remarkable speech which Hitler delivered in 1932 before the German industrialists of Dusseldorf. The success of the speech probably marked the turning point in his political fortunes. German prosperity and the relief of unemployment, he said, depend on foreign trade, but the idea that one can conquer the world by purely economic means is one of the greatest and most terrible illusions. It was not German business which conquered the world and then came the development of German power, but in our case, tog, it was the power-state (Machtstaat) which created for the business world the general conditions for its subsequent prosperity. There can be no economic life unless behind this economic life there stands the determined political will of the nation absolutely ready to strike-and to strike hard. Behind all imperialism stands the will of the white race to exercise an extraordinarily brutal right to dominate others.Economics The white race, however, can in practice maintain its position only so long as the difference in the standard of living in different parts of the world continues to exist. If you to-day give to our so-called export-markets the same standard of living as we ourselves possess, you will find that it will be impossible for the white to maintain that position of superiority which finds expression not merely in the political power of the nation but also in the economic fortune of the individual. 2 years before, commenting on self-sufficiency, Hitler had said: Our task is to organize on a large scale the whole world so that each country produces what it can best produce while the white race, the Nordic race, undertakes the organization of this gigantic plan. That must not, it is true, be bound up with any exploitation of the other race, for the lower race is destined for tasks different from those of the higher race the latter must have in its hands the control, and this control must remain with us in common with the Anglo-Saxons. In substance, therefore, the national socialist theory of Lebensraum was the crudest, if also logically the simplest, possible solution of the problems of international trade and politics. It meant political dominance by military power and the maintenance of a high standard oi living for the dominant power by a system of exploitation, that would perpetuate a low standard of living for the subject-peoples.Politics Short of world dominance by a single power, which might of course be the ultimate goal of a power controlling the world’s Heartland, the theory meant regionalism. The world would be divided into a few great orders or spheres of control each governed by its own dominant power. This was the meaning attributed to the American Monroe Doctrine, to which the theorists of geopolitics assigned a place of high importance as the first recognition of their principles. American insistence on the rights of nations outside the American sphere they construed as imperialism. Their own plan they often described as a Monroe Doctrine for Europe. Between regions the relations were assumed to be merely those of power, since no treaty could be more than a temporary compromise, and no boundary could be more than a point of calm where two powers were for the time being balanced. Within each region the dominant power, in theory the dominant racial group, would assign to the subordinate groups their economic function and their political status. Juristically, therefore, Lebensraum like the racial theory would work out to systems of folk-law and extraterritoriality. International law would disappear in a twofold sense. There would be no equal rights of nations and there would be no equal rights of persons or minorities irrespective of race. In any legal sense nationality would disappear along with internationalism. Thought national socialism drew its support from German sentiment its theory implied a from of world organization substantially like that of the pre-national empires.

A2: Rudolf Kjellen and Karl Haushofer popularized it, integrating geopolitics with military strategy and racial ideology. Q3: How did Lebensraum influence Nazi policy?

A4: No, it combined pseudo-science, historical sentiment, and military strategy, not empirical research. Q5: What was the ultimate goal of Lebensraum?
