TRUMP UNHINGED

ORANGE-FACE TRUMP LOSES IT ON LIVE TV The sexist criticism once levelled at Kamala Harris as a reason for her not to become president is now being put to Donald Trump. US president Trump sparked huge reaction online when he crashed out mid-interview and then walked out in a huff. The incident occurred during an NBC News interview when reporter Kristen Welker pressed Trump on his repeated conspiracy about a rigged election. When Welker requested that Trump produce the evidence, he proceeded to label her “crooked” and “stupid”.

Are Jews Uniquely Evil?

Or does CNN just suck the Big One? A worldview has taken root: that Israel is uniquely evil, and Jews, by association, are complicit. If Israel is committing genocide, then most Jews – who support or identify with the state – are, logically, accessories. And if they’re accessories, then attacking them becomes not merely understandable, but righteous in the minds of the indoctrinated. The idea that one can demonise and dehumanise Israel and Zionism – both central to modern Jewish identity – without targeting Jews defies reality and rests on a linguistic sleight of hand. As an ancient people, we’ve been known by many names: Hebrews, Israel, Jews. Our national movement is named after one of Jerusalem’s hills. And a 19th-century German Jew-hater, Wilhelm Marr, introduced the term “antisemitism”, yet another name, into politics. This linguistic variety makes it easier to argue that anti-Zionism has nothing to do with Jews. It’s the equivalent of denying Ireland’s right to exist while insisting you aren’t “anti-Irish” – so long as they don’t live in Ireland or support its statehood. Would such an argument be taken seriously? This is no passing storm. It is the new climate. The assassinations, the arson attacks, the blood libels rebranded as humanitarian concern – these did not emerge from nowhere. They are the consequence of years of intellectual and institutional decay. Western universities have trained a generation to see Israel as irredeemably guilty. That worldview has metastasised. NGOs, once thought impartial, now act as ideological enforcers. Major unions echo anti-Israel slogans. Church groups issue one-sided condemnations of the Jewish state. The minds were primed. So when Hamas broadcast live the most barbaric mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust, it didn’t prompt moral clarity. Instead, 1. It intensified the hatred. 2. Instead of revulsion, there was rationalisation. 3. Instead of solidarity, blame. The idea had already taken root: Israel is the villain of the story. IMO Jews aren't evil, inferior bad or malign; ISRAELI's are. Jews should consider granting Palestinians their Independance ASAP. Otherwise they are asking for it all over again. PG xo

Why Jews Are Universally Hated

This is what another Jew says about why Jews are always hated (ike rats or termites or hangovers perhaps ...) In the aftermath of Hamas’s pogrom of October 7, it’s become mind-bogglingly obvious that no other political cause is as widespread worldwide as Israel hatred—an intersectional common denominator of otherwise unrelated and even opposing forces in the public arena. Their shared disdain of Israel has allowed the extreme Left to stand together with the extreme Right, governments of developed countries to follow the call of underdeveloped ones, humanitarian NGOs and the liberal press to give credence to terrorist cabals. And, in the streets, it has allowed staunch secularists to hold hands with religious fundamentalists, globalists with nativists, feminist and LGTBQ activists with reactionary bigots. What on Earth is going on? Responses abound already, and elucidations in book-length format are forthcoming. But for those who remain perplexed, a brief genealogy of Israel hatred, a panoramic sketch of it, might provide a measure of clarity. I’ll render such a picture by bringing into plain view the lasting influences that have contributed to the widespread opprobrium of Israel, drawing them proportionally in order to convey a cogent perspective. https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/why-almost-everyone-hates-israel/ The recent wave of Israel hatred is the overt expression of the present-day anti-Zionist stance. A century ago, however, anti-Zionism—originally the denial of the Jewish claim to sovereignty over the Holy Land—comprised a variety of senses. Back then, a large share of Jews remained unconvinced by Zionist aspirations. Some of them feared dual-loyalty entanglements (a common antisemitic slander), others were devout Communists intent on doing away with all nationalities equally, and others objected to Zionism on contentious religious grounds (as still do the Satmar Jews that feature at pro-Palestinian rallies). During their Mandate, the British deferred to their national interest for their anti-Zionism, while among Arabs it became the logical corollary of their territorial dispute with the Jews. However, the Anti-Zionism propagated after the establishment of Israel acquired a more uniform sense as a distinct disaffection for the Jewish State. Through a variety of interests, the label “Zionist” became recast as a slur among the bien-pensant, while its opposite eventually evolved into a term of endearment. Today’s anti-Zionists may or may not resort to retroactively denying Jews their claim to Statehood. When they do, it’s in response to Israel’s alleged oppression of Palestinians. For the medley of demonstrators scolding Israel on the streets, anti-Zionism is advanced as a moral creed whereby Israel is singled-out and portrayed as exceptionally criminal and uniquely evil among all nations. What distinguishes their anti-Zionism is its underlying Double Standard, as described in the IHRA working definition of antisemitism.

Why Did Hitler Hate Jews?

I only need to watch CNN in the morning to hate Jews. But what about one of the greatest Genius' of all time want too exterminate them? I am no iteler fan and normally Germans suck, but Hitler had a lot going on upstairs.He was born April 20 1889 in Upper Austria 4th Child of a Customs Officer. https://www.history-channel.org/why-did-hitler-feel-such-deep-hatred-toward-the-jews/ The persecution of the Jews by Adolf Hitler had deep ideological, political, and personal roots in his worldview. From his youth in Vienna, Hitler was influenced by the racial antisemitism present in certain sectors of European society. Unlike traditional, religion-based antisemitism, Hitler’s hatred was grounded in the idea that Jews constituted an inferior and dangerous race, one that threatened to corrupt the purity of the German people. Watch CNN any time of day any day of the week and you will agree with Him. lol Some more facts on the centuries of European Antisemitism Hitler did not invent hatred of Jewish people. He inherited it. For nearly two thousand years before the Holocaust, Jewish communities across Europe faced persecution rooted in religious hostility and reinforced by legal discrimination. During the Middle Ages, authorities restricted the jobs Jews could hold, confined them to segregated neighborhoods called ghettos, expelled them from entire countries, banned them from owning land, imposed special taxes on them, and forced them to wear identifying markings on their clothing.2 False accusations that Jewish people had poisoned wells, caused the Black Plague, or used the blood of Christian children in rituals became embedded in European culture as accepted truths rather than slanders. The Protestant Reformation added another layer. Martin Luther, after failing to convert Jewish communities to his reformed church, turned viciously against them. He called for their synagogues to be burned, their homes demolished, and their prayer books confiscated.3 Centuries later, Nazi propagandists would cite Luther’s writings to give their program a veneer of historical and religious legitimacy. In Russia and Eastern Europe, government-encouraged pogroms killed thousands of Jewish people in the decades before World War I, and the pattern of blaming Jews for political assassinations and social unrest was well established long before Hitler adapted it to German politics. It goes on an on ... until Jews domiate mainstream media, busness, politics, tech etc... once again...

My Kind of ANGELS ("Angels Forever, Forever Angels" is meant literally)

They are an all white Club BTW The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) is an international outlaw motorcycle club founded in California whose members typically ride Harley-Davidson ... Can you quit Hells Angels? Quitting the Hells Angels is exceptionally difficult because membership is considered a lifelong commitment. While members can leave, they are generally expected to fulfill strict exit protocols, such as surrendering club property and undergoing a formal ceremonial process or "retired" status. Leaving the Hells Angels (HAMC) is a strictly regulated process that operates much like an intense divorce. The reality of walking away involves several strict rules and realities: No "Retired" Status: According to the club's bylaws, there is technically no such thing as a "retired" member. The motto AFFA (Angels Forever, Forever Angels) is meant literally. Honorable Discharge: In rare cases where a member can no longer fulfill his duties (due to age, health, or family), he can stand before his chapter and request an exit. If the chapter votes unanimously, he is allowed to leave on good terms. Surrendering Property: Anyone who leaves must hand over their "cut" (the leather vest with club patches) and all other official club property. Strict "No Contact": Even those who leave on good terms face a strict no-contact policy. They are no longer permitted to attend club events, visit the clubhouse, or interact with active members on a day-to-day basis. Leaving "Out Bad": If a member leaves without permission, breaks the club's code of conduct, or is suspected of speaking to law enforcement, they are considered "out bad". This typically results in being completely ostracized or facing severe retaliation. https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1305969/detained-german-biker-in-greece-for-hells-angel-gathering-suffers-stroke/ But they are not immortal: One of several foreign motorcyclists taken into custody Friday at the northwestern port of Igoumenitsa for alleged weapons possession and other offences has suffered a stroke while in detention. The man, a German national, was among thousands of Harley Davidson riders who arrived in Greece for an international gathering of members of the Hells Angels motorcycle group in Drepano, near Igoumenitsa. He was arrested at the port on the order of a Corfu prosecutor in connection with a pending extradition request to Poland over his alleged involvement in a traffic accident. He has since been hospitalized under police guard in Ioannina. The Hells Angels gathering has placed Greek police on heightened alert. Members of the group have, for decades, been linked to criminal activity in a number of countries. The three-day get-together, which concludes on Sunday, is being held for the second time in coastal Drepano and has been organized by a Patra-based group acting as a local branch of the organization.

NewFound-Island & Labrador-Land Need To Be Either 1. Bilingual EU Member State(s) , 2 New American States OR 3. ITS OWN COUNTRY

Newfoundland and Labrador have been overlooked, underappreciated, neglected and ignored for waaayyyy too long. Known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture, comprising the island of Newfoundland and the mainland region of Labrador. Newfoundland and Labrador is the easternmost province of Canada, located in the Atlantic region. The province consists of two main parts: the island of Newfoundland and the continental region of Labrador. The total area of Newfoundland and Labrador is approximately 405,212 km² (156,453 sq mi), with the island of Newfoundland being home to about 94% of the province's population, which is estimated to be around 545,579 as of 2025 The capital city, St. John's, is situated on the southeastern coast of Newfoundland and is the largest city in the province, housing about 40% of the population Historical Context Newfoundland has a rich history, having been inhabited by Indigenous peoples long before European exploration. It was claimed by John Cabot in 1497 and later became a British colony. Newfoundland was a separate dominion in the British Empire until it joined Canada in 1949. The province was officially renamed Newfoundland and Labrador in 2001 Historically, the region has been shaped significantly by its fishing industry, particularly in the Grand Banks, which have been vital to the local economy for centuries. Cultural Significance The culture of Newfoundland and Labrador is heavily influenced by its English and Irish heritage, with a unique blend of traditions, music, and dialects. The province is known for its friendly communities, stunning coastal scenery, and outdoor recreational opportunities, making it a popular destination for tourists seeking natural beauty and cultural experiences Conclusions Newfoundland and Labrador is a province rich in history and culture, characterized by its stunning landscapes and vibrant communities. It plays a significant role in Canada's identity as the easternmost province, with a unique blend of Indigenous and colonial history that continues to shape its character today. But that is yesterday. Think of the opportunities NFLD present America today. NewfoundIsland could be America's largest AirCraft Carrier (forward-leaning airbase between USA, CANADA, UK, EU and Arctic/Russia immediately. We have a host of dormant and vacant Airfields and Bases that can be re-established overnight. Thnk Stephenville Airforce Base and Goose Bay as just 2 examples of dormant American bases. During 1940, Germany was threatening the majority of Europe, as well as North America, through its successful air, land and sea campaigns. The destructiveness of the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine in the Battle of Britain and Battle of the Atlantic alarmed military planners in the United States who theorized that the Nazis could in future establish a beachhead on Newfoundland and the adjacent French islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon and use it for launching air attacks and eventually land and sea attacks on the industrial heartland of North America. In 1940, the United States entered into the Destroyers for Bases deal with the government of the United Kingdom, allowing the US military to establish facilities in British Overseas Territories in the Western Hemisphere. The primary focus for North American defence from Nazi aggression was Newfoundland, which the United States sought to arm as a geographic buffer much as it was doing with its Alaska territory to defend North America against Imperial Japan in the northwest. The United States established an administrative army air force and coast defense base named Fort Pepperrell in St. John's, along with a deepwater naval base and naval aviation field at Argentia on the Avalon Peninsula. The northeast coast of Newfoundland and the strategically important Strait of Belle Isle were left exposed, therefore military planners sought to establish an army air force base on 8,159 acres (33.02 km2) of land at the northeast end of Bay St. George near the coastal hamlet of Stephenville. The 76th Congress approved the 99-year lease and in April 1941, construction began on a deepwater port and adjacent air field. During the war a battery of two 155 mm coast defense guns was at the base, due to its coastal location. It was called Battery T8503 and was operated by Coast Artillery Corps troops of the Harbor Defenses of Argentia and St. John's.[1][2] The air force base was originally referred to as Stephenville Air Base. On September 1, 1943, the Newfoundland Base Command transferred control of the Stephenville Air Base to the North Atlantic Wing, Air Transport Command. The base was actively used throughout the war and was one of the largest U.S. military airfields located outside of the continental United States; it was capable of landing the largest cargo aircraft in the world at that time and the base became a frequent stopping and refueling point for USAAF aircraft crossing the Atlantic. Stephenville Air Base was renamed "Ernest Harmon Air Force Base" on June 23, 1948, in honor of Captain Ernest Emery Harmon. Capt Harmon was a U.S. Army Air Corps pilot who was killed in an air crash in 1933. The deepwater port which supported the base was named Port Harmon at this time. Ernest Harmon AFB was transferred to Northeast Air Command in October 1950. The 6605th Air Base Wing served as the host unit at the base. In April 1957, with the rising threat of nuclear war, the Strategic Air Command (SAC) assumed control of the base for use as a forward refuelling point. The 6605th Wing was superseded by the 4081st Strategic Wing. Ernest Harmon AFB became home to a fleet of KC-97 Stratofreighter air refueling aircraft, which were kept on alert in order to meet and refuel nuclear armed B-52 Stratofortress bombers in the skies over western Newfoundland. The base also saw use as a refueling stop for transatlantic military flights and the base supported three Aerospace Defense Command (ADC) units. In 1957, the Canadian Department of Transport constructed an airport terminal to accommodate Trans-Canada Air Lines (now Air Canada) commercial flights; Ernest Harmon AFB being the only air field in western Newfoundland. Aerodrome In 1942 the aerodrome was listed as USAAF Aerodrome – Stephenville, Newfoundland at 48°32′N 58°33′W with a variation of 30 degrees west and elevation of 40 ft (12 m). The field was listed as "all hard surfaced" and had three runways listed as follows:[3] Runway name Length Width Surface 7/25 5,000 ft (1,500 m) 150 ft (46 m) Hard surfaced 12/30 5,200 ft (1,600 m) 150 ft (46 m) Hard surfaced 14/32 5,000 ft (1,500 m) 150 ft (46 m) Hard surfaced Cold War expansion and road construction icon This section does not cite any sources.

(July 2023) (Learn how and when to remove this message) The Cold War expansion of the base in the early 1950s coincided with the Korean War and the rise in nuclear tensions with the Soviet Union. The USAF sought to build more roads in the area to serve the base and nearby Pinetree Line early warning radar site and to patrol the immediate area for security; the roads would also act as a means of dispersing personnel in an emergency. One of the more important projects was a bypass road around the base, known as the Hansen Memorial Highway. In 1953, the 347th (Engineer Aviation) battalion was assigned the immense task (along with 2,502 contractor personnel) of completing the 62 line construction projects at Ernest Harmon AFB. These consisted of: completion of major runways of up to 222,000 yd2 (186,000 m2) taxiway and aprons of up to 421,000 yd2 (352,000 m2) aprons of heavy duty pavement up to 351,000 yd2 (293,000 m2) construct a runway complex that was so large that the existing harbor facilities at Port Harmon had to be demolished to give proper clearance for aircraft construction of fighter aircraft hangars construction of three wharves and dredging of the existing harbour at Port Harmon, which, when completed was 8,000 ft (2,400 m) long, 200 ft (61 m) wide, and 35 ft (11 m) deep construction of a flight control tower in September 1953 construction of four petroleum tanks with a capacity of 25,000 to 125,000 bbl (4,000 to 19,900 m3) of aviation fuel Rock crushing operations along the Hansen Highway 1960 By June 1953 the 347th Engineers had deployed 444 engineers. They were joined by an additional 750 engineers who departed Florida and arrived at Harmon on June 23 to construct three of the line construction projects: a bypass road Hanson Memorial Highway to prevent civilian access through the base (in progress since April, 1943) a base salvage yard a trailer park for Harmon personnel removal of a granite hill the north end of the Frobisher Bay AFB runway The 347th Engineers was made up of four companies; three line companies and one Headquarters and Service (H&S) company. Company A was responsible for construction of the salvage yard and Company B and C were responsible for the construction of the bypass road with a budget of $583,000. The salvage yard, which was situated near Noels Pond on 30 acres (120,000 m2), was finished to partial occupancy by the fall of 1954 and completed in 1955. Thirty Butler Buildings (prefabricated steel) were located on the property. The machinery which constructed the bypass road was buried at the end of the property when it became over used and obsolete in 1959–1960, under the supervision of Warrant Officer Ebb Higdon, Company A. They were later dug up to be sold for scrap but were found to be useless and reburied. This equipment had come up from Florida in Liberty ships, with the battalion in 1953. In 1986, when this information was made available to the town of Stephenville via a series of articles in the Georgian newspaper, several doubters and curiosity seekers, armed with metal detectors, swarmed over the site and located the buried equipment.[4] Company B and C began work on the bypass road by working towards each other. Company C, under the command of Captain Claxton Ray began at the Stephenville side and worked towards Company B which began construction near Cormiers Village and worked in two directions towards Long Gull Pond and towards Stephenville. It was necessary to begin construction of the road at Cormiers Village and work back towards Stephenville pending the finalizing of property agreements. Company B was under the command of Captain Gomez. The H&S Company split operations equipment and men between the three Companies. The 11 mi (18 km) long construction began with a line of corduroy roads comprising one half of the road and when Long Gull Pond was reached in the fall of 1954, the other half was constructed. The road followed the existing rail road line. It was necessary to build three access roads approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) in length in order to facilitate construction of the bypass road. These roads were built to the same specifications as the bypass road as they were used constantly for heavy hauling. The concrete bridge over Cold Creek was built in 1954 and the 60 ft (18 m) concrete bridge over Warm Creek was programmed for completion in 1956. Not counting equipment, 90,000 yd3 (69,000 m3) of fill. 30,000 yd3 (23,000 m3) of crushed rock and 15,000 yd3 (11,000 m3) of earth were used before the final 19 in (480 mm) of paving was laid down. Equipment and material were stored at the Gull Pond site. The bypass road was officially opened to the public in October 1957 and named the Hanson Memorial Highway. The third construction operation was cancelled. The 347th (changed to the 823rd in 1954) Engineer Aviation Battalion was disbanded in 1957 and most of the men went back to the US. The two battalion commanders at the time were, Colonel Germain and Major Truet. The medical officer was V.H. Berry and the ground safety officer was 1st Lieutenant Arthur Everitt. The general construction on the base (buildings, roads and runways) was done under the base supervision of Colonel Koski and Colonel Bailey. J.A. Jones held the construction contract from 1954 to 1959. From 1956 to 1959, Major Ray was the superintendent for the asphalt, rock crushing and concrete operations for J.A. Jones and was responsible for the construction of 200 on base houses, two seven-story barracks for 1,500 airmen, additional runways and the Central Heating (steam) Plant. One of the barracks is used as residences for the College of the North Atlantic as well as a hotel during the summer tourist season. The other barrack was converted into a six-story apartment complex known as the Stephenville Manor. Base facilities see here https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/society/air-force-base.php

Black African Male Migration Peaks In EU

What a mess. The UK already has enough Janitors, Garbagemen, Carwash Attendants, Drug addicted-dealers and Inmates ... so stay in Africa ... Charlie Yaxley of the U.N. Refugee Agency said the numbers were tiny compared to the peak European migration crisis in 2015, when more than a million people crossed the Mediterranean Sea — many drowning. "This isn't a crisis of numbers, this is a crisis of humanity," he said. "The sea crossings are just a symptom of the problem and until you address the causes of the problem, that symptom is not going to go away." He added that most refugees still fled to neighboring countries and only a minority attempted the dangerous sea crossings. Next week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is set to unveil contentious new asylum policies for the bloc. On Wednesday, she described immigration as a normal fact of life and said the continent should learn to manage it. https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/europes-border-crisis/migrant-arrivals-sea-nearly-match-1st-half-2015-unhcr-n528701 The number of refugees and migrants making the perilous sea journey to Europe in the past two months nearly matches the entire first half of last year, the U.N. refugee agency warned Tuesday. While numbers have come down during the winter they still remain high, the U.N. said, with 131,724 people making the journey in January and February. That approaches the 147,209 for the first six months of 2015. “It’s rough,” UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards said. “We’re also still seeing people die as part of this movement — 410 deaths so far in 2016 ... It is a worrying situation.”

JEWS IN AMERICAN MEDIA

Whiney Jake Tapper is the absolute worst - and he is not even intelligent. You just hear this guy's voice and it makes you turn the channel without even loooking at the TV screen. Awful. Jake Tapper Jake Tapper, CNN’s lead DC anchor and host of The Lead with Jake Tapper, has been a prominent figure for many years and is the best-selling fiction author of the 2023 thriller novel All the Demons Are Here. With Jewish chutzpah guiding him, he remains one of the most accepted and authentic of American journalism’s go-to voices. Ben Shapiro Ben Shapiro, a conservative commentator for The Daily Wire, has also had quite the year. Besides his large-scale visit with Canadian “manosphere” superstar Jordan Peterson to Israel last October, he has earned a massive following on social media with short, flagrant sound bites (like butting in on the Kanye West and Candace Owens antisemitic outrage). Bari Weiss After resigning from The New York Times in 2020, Bari Weiss founded The Free Press media company, with which she scored significant coups in the past year, such as an interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, her secret “Twitter Files” endeavor, and “The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling.” Together, Tapper, Shapiro and Weiss are a formidable force in American journalism. lol What a joke .. Don't forget the Jewish John Berman and Kate Baldwin Duo in the mornings @CNN...

I'M ACTUALLY GETTING NAUSEOUS THINKING THIS GUY COULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT BUT HE IS ONLY THE AMERICAN SECRETARY OF DEFENSE ATM lol https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/07/pete-hegseth-d-day-speech-immigration-grotesque-stupidity Pete Hegseth’s D-day speech on immigration condemned as ‘grotesque stupidity’ Historians and campaigners accuse US defence secretary of desecrating memory of soldiers who fell in Normandy Ashifa Kassam European community affairs correspondent Sun 7 Jun 2026 13.22 BST Share Prefer the Guardian on Google The US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, has been accused by historians and rights campaigners of “grotesque stupidity” and desecrating the memory of the soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy after he sought to link immigration to the D-day anniversary, saying Europe was facing a different “invasion” of its shores. Speaking in north-west France on Saturday to mark the 82nd anniversary of the D-day landings, Hegseth seized on the moment marking the wartime liberation of Europe to reiterate the US administration’s longstanding attack on European immigration policies. “Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different, dangerous ideologies,” Hegseth told those gathered at the American military cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer. “Beaches in Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion, or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not,” he said.

AMERICAN AID TO ISRAEL

U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel: Overview and Developments since October 7, 2023 Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. Successive Administrations, working with Congress, have provided Israel with assistance reflective of robust domestic U.S. support for Israel and its security; shared strategic goals in the Middle East; and historical ties dating from U.S. support for the creation of Israel in 1948. To date, the United States has provided Israel $174 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. RL33222 May 28, 2025 Jeremy M. Sharp Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Over the last two decades, including during Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas, American public attitudes toward Israel as expressed in public-opinion polling have shifted somewhat when compared to previous eras. Though lawmakers continue to vote in favor of U.S. assistance to Israel, there have been calls from some political and ideological groups to reevaluate the long-standing U.S.-Israeli assistance relationship. In 2016, the U.S. and Israeli governments signed their third 10-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on military aid, covering FY2019 to FY2028. Under the terms of the MOU, the United States pledged to provide—subject to congressional appropriation—$38 billion in military aid ($33 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) grants plus $5 billion in missile defense appropriations) to Israel. While negotiations over the next MOU have yet to start, U.S. and Israeli experts and government officials have already started to formulate proposals to shape future U.S.-Israeli military cooperation. Since the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023 and Israel’s subsequent conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, Congress has provided emergency supplemental military assistance to Israel and appropriated funding beyond the annual MOU terms for joint U.S.-Israeli missile defense programs. In April 2024, Congress passed P.L. 118-50 (Making emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, and for other purposes). That act included, among other things, $3.5 billion in FMF for Israel. The act also included $5.2 billion in defense appropriations for missile defense ($4 billion) and Israel’s new laser defense system, Iron Beam ($1.2 billion). P.L. 119-4, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, provides FMF and missile defense cooperation funds to Israel at FY2024 levels ($3.3 billion and $500 million, respectively). The act also contains several Israel-specific provisions or anomalies, such as: Section 11206(1) specifies FY2025 FMF for Off-Shore Procurement for Israel (per the terms of the MOU) at $450.3 million; Section 11208(c) reauthorizes loan guarantees to Israel through 2030; and Section 11208(d) reauthorizes annual monetary caps for U.S. additions to the War Reserve Stockpile for Allies program, including the stockpile in Israel, through FY2027 (at $500 million per year). P.L. 118-47, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, FY2024, in addition to providing the amounts mentioned above, also included $47 million for the U.S. Israeli anti-tunneling program and $40 million for the U.S.-Israeli counter-unmanned aerial systems program. https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/RL/PDF/RL33222/RL33222.51.pdf?pubDate=20250907

How Much $ Does America Give Israel?

The SIMPLE ANSWER IS too much but the details are alarming and show how subserviant America is to Israel. BTW Where are all the filthy rich Arab Gulf State Sheikhs in all of this? United States gives Israel a baseline of $3.8 billion every year under a ten-year agreement, split between $3.3 billion in military grants and $500 million for missile defense. That baseline, however, has been dwarfed in recent years by emergency spending. During the Gaza war that began in October 2023, Congress approved roughly $12.5 billion in supplemental military and defense aid on top of the annual commitment, and the current administration authorized nearly $12 billion more in major arms sales in early 2025 alone. In total, the United States has provided Israel approximately $174 billion in nominal dollars since 1946, or about $298 billion when adjusted for inflation, making Israel the largest cumulative recipient of American foreign assistance. In April 2024, President Biden signed P.L. 118-50, which included $26.4 billion in Israel-related spending. The key allocations were: Foreign Military Financing: $3.5 billion for weapons, ammunition, and other defense purchases, with a portion permitted for Israeli-made equipment Iron Dome and David’s Sling: $4 billion to replenish interceptor stockpiles depleted by heavy use Iron Beam: $1.2 billion for procurement of the new laser defense system Defense operations: $4.4 billion for U.S. military operations in the region https://legalclarity.org/how-much-money-does-america-give-to-israel-the-breakdown/

UBI - UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME

CONGRATS https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/17/marshall-islands-launches-universal-basic-income-scheme-offering-cryptocurrency-in-world-first Marshall Islands launches world’s first universal basic income scheme offering cryptocurrency Quarterly payments of $200 to be offered via stablecoin or traditional currency in a scheme designed to ease cost of living pressures in the Pacific nation The Marshall Islands has introduced a national universal basic income (UBI) scheme that offers payments via cryptocurrency, alongside more traditional methods, which experts say is the first scheme of its kind in the world. Under the program, every resident citizen of the Marshall Islands will receive quarterly payments of about US$200 as part of a government effort to ease cost of living pressures. The first instalments were paid in late November and recipients can choose whether the money is paid into a bank account, by cheque, or delivered as cryptocurrency on the blockchain through a government-backed digital wallet. “We the government want to make sure no one is left behind,” Marshall Islands’ minister for finance David Paul told the Guardian. Why universal basic income still can’t meet the challenges of an AI economy “$200 per person per quarter, which is about $800 a year, does not compel you to quit your job … but it’s actually like a morale booster for people.” An archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, the Marshall Islands lies between Hawaii and Australia, and has a population of about 42,000. Paul said the payments were intended as a “social safety net” as the country faces rising costs and citizens leaving. The UBI scheme is financed by a trust fund created under an agreement with the United States, which in part aims to compensate the Marshall Islands for decades of American nuclear testing. The fund holds more than $1.3bn in assets, with the US committing a further $500m through to 2027. Dr Huy Pham, associate professor and crypto-fintech lead at RMIT University, said the Marshall Islands scheme “is the world first for a national rollout of a UBI program.” He said the use of blockchain technology is “unique in terms of a nation-wide implementation.” The cryptocurrency delivery option – which involves the transfer of a digital token known as a stablecoin, pegged to the US dollar – was designed to address the practical challenge of delivering the money across hundreds of remote islands. “We saw the opportunity in what the blockchain has to offer,” Paul said. But according to Pham, digital payments alone do not necessarily provide financial inclusion, especially in a country like the Marshall Islands where internet connectivity is patchy and frequently disrupted. “Improving internet coverage, improving smartphone penetration – all these kinds of things are the minimum for a blockchain-based economy,” he said. Most recipients are choosing to receive payments through conventional channels. According to the Marshall Islands Social Security Administration, about 60% of the first round of payments were deposited directly into bank accounts, with the remainder issued as paper checks. Only a small number of people – about 12 so far, officials say – have signed up to receive payments on their digital wallet. The ministry of finance says the first sign-ups formed part of a small pilot programme, which met 100% of its initial targets. Anelie Sarana, the finance manager involved in the rollout, said over the past year her team has travelled to the outermost islands of the country to register people in the scheme. Sarana said many recipients were using the money immediately for basic needs, like food and essentials, while others used the $200 to pay for celebrations to commemorate the annual Gospel Day holiday which coincided with the first distribution.“ I know they’re happy, because you can see in the streets, there’s so much traffic, it’s like there’s a big something happening,” she said. This is not the first time the Marshall Islands has experimented with using cryptocurrency. In 2018, the government attempted to create a national cryptocurrency known as the Sovereign, or SOV. The plan ultimately stalled after warnings from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF has cautioned that while the technology underpinning the latest scheme is innovative, the blockchain-based delivery of universal basic income carries “financial, fiscal, legal, reputational, and financial integrity risks”, particularly if governance and oversight are not robust. Dr Monique Taylor, a lecturer in world politics at the University of Helsinki, said it was hard to predict if the Marshall Islands’ experiment with a universal basic income and a cryptocurrency delivery system would succeed. “Universal income schemes are rare, particularly at national scale, and there are no direct precedents that combine this fiscal architecture with a digital delivery component in a small island state,” she said. But, she believed the scheme did present benefits for small island nations. “In a geographically dispersed island state where conventional banking infrastructure can be limited, a digital wallet may lower frictions and make transfers more accessible, particularly in outer atolls,” she said.

EARTH CURRENCY - TOWARD A UNIVERSAL CURRENY

universal currency There is no official universal world currency, but the United States Dollar (USD) serves as the de facto global currency. It is the most widely held reserve currency by central banks, accounts for the vast majority of international debt, and is the primary unit of pricing for global commodities like oil.While no single tender is used universally, the global financial system relies on a few major currencies and specialized global assets to manage international trade and reserves:U.S. Dollar (USD): Dominates the global economy, making up nearly 60% of allocated central bank foreign exchange reserves. It acts as the primary medium of exchange for global trade.Euro (EUR): The second most important global currency, utilized by the Eurozone and heavily used in international reserves and foreign exchange transactions. THE WORLD NEEDS A UNNIVERSAL CURRENCY ASAP THE ONLY THING MISSING IS AN APPROPRIATE NAME... The BRICS nations are interested in creating a new currency to compete with the US dollar, and recently announced plans for a blockchain-based payment system. Learn about the developments thus far and how investors can prepare for the possibility. https://investingnews.com/brics-currency/ The BRICS nations, originally composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, have had many discussions about establishing a new reserve currency backed by a basket of their respective currencies. The creation of a potentially gold-backed currency, known as the "Unit," as a US dollar alternative is also under consideration by BRICS members. However, whether or not these countries can fully separate themselves from the ruling global currency is up for debate even amongst themselves. A potential BRICS currency would allow these nations to assert their economic independence while competing with the existing international financial system. The current system is dominated by the US dollar, which accounts for about 89 percent of all currency trading. Traditionally, nearly 100 percent of oil trading was conducted in US dollars; however, in 2023, one-fifth of oil trades were reportedly made using non-US dollar currencies. Central to this situation is the US trade war with China, as well as US sanctions on China and Russia. Should the BRICS establish a new reserve currency, it would likely significantly impact the US dollar, potentially leading to a decline in demand, or what's known as de-dollarization. In turn, this would have implications for the US and global economies. If BRICS watchers were hoping for more fireworks at the 2025 BRICS meeting held in Brazil this July, they were sorely disappointed. Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping were not in attendance, and talk of a BRICS currency was much more muted. On top of this, according to Modern Diplomacy, that topic may be even less of a concern at next year's BRICS meeting; it will be held in India, which has sought to distance itself from a move away from the US dollar. It's still too hard to predict if and when a BRICS currency will be released, but it's a good time to look at the potential for a BRICS currency and its possible implications for investors.

ARE NOWHERE TO BE SEEN... PALESTINE SHOULD BE A STATE ASAP Holocaust, the systematic state-sponsored killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II. The Germans called this “the final solution to the Jewish question.” Yiddish-speaking Jews and survivors in the years immediately following their liberation called the murder of the Jews the Ḥurban, the word used to describe the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 bce and the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 ce. Shoʾah (“Catastrophe”) is the term preferred by Israelis and the French, most especially after Claude Lanzmann’s masterful 1985 motion picture documentary of that title. It is also preferred by people who speak Hebrew and by those who want to be more particular about the Jewish experience or who are uncomfortable with the religious connotations of the word Holocaust. Less universal and more particular, Shoʾah emphasizes the annihilation of the Jews, not the totality of Nazi victims. More particular terms also were used by Raul Hilberg, who called his pioneering work The Destruction of the European Jews, and Lucy S. Dawidowicz, who entitled her book on the Holocaust The War Against the Jews. In part she showed how Germany fought two wars simultaneously: World War II and the racial war against the Jews. The Allies fought only the World War. The word Holocaust is derived from the Greek holokauston, a translation of the Hebrew word ʿolah, meaning a burnt sacrifice offered whole to God. This word was chosen because in the ultimate manifestation of the Nazi killing program—the extermination camps—the bodies of the victims were consumed whole in crematoria and open fires. https://www.britannica.com/event/Holocaust REPEAT THE ONLY THINIG MISSING ARE THE OPEN-AIR PUBLIC GAS CHAMBERS AND OVENS/CREMATORIUMS... https://www.yadvashem.org/holocaust/about/what-was-the-holocaust.html

RENAMING CNN

CUT TO THE CHASE & GET TO THE POINT - CNN IS A JEWISH NEWS NETWORK - SO CALL IT JNN / JEWISH NEWS NETWORK - PERIOD HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME CURRENT DRIVEL THAT TRIES TO EXPLAIN AWAY THE OBVIOUS JEW-DOMINATION OF AMERICAN MEDIA ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Executive Summary The claim "Jews own most of the USA media" is an oversimplification that conflates representation in leadership with concentrated ownership and invites conspiratorial readings; available analyses show some Jewish overrepresentation in executive roles but not numerical ownership dominance or monopoly across U.S. media. Recent examinations and datasets emphasize corporate complexity, diffuse public ownership, and differing definitions of "Jewish" identity, producing estimates of notable but limited percentages of Jewish individuals in senior roles rather than evidence that Jews collectively control most American media 1. How the Claim Emerged and Why It Persists — Leadership vs. Ownership Drama Public lists and viral claims often point to Jewish CEOs and senior executives at major conglomerates as evidence of control, creating a narrative that leadership equals ownership and consensus control. Several modern write-ups enumerate Jewish executives at big companies like Comcast, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount, feeding the impression of dominance [3]. Yet corporate reality is more complex: these media giants are largely publicly traded or part of diversified holding structures where ownership is diffuse among institutional investors, pension funds, and thousands of shareholders, and decision-making power is structured through boards and markets, not a single demographic bloc [3] [4]. The gap between visible executives and ultimate control is central to the misunderstanding. 2. What Empirical Studies Actually Show — Overrepresentation, Not Monopoly Careful analyses quantify Jewish representation in leadership without supporting the claim of ownership majority: a 2022 study found roughly one-quarter of top CEOs and around one-fifth of leading officers in top media companies identified as Jewish, with lower percentages when focusing strictly on U.S. news media and those “ultimately in control” [1]. Older internet memes claiming that "six Jewish companies own 90–96% of American media" trace to debunked or outdated pieces and are treated skeptically by modern researchers because they ignore corporate mergers, public shareholding, and evolving ownership since 2009 [2] [1]. These studies demonstrate statistical overrepresentation in certain roles but fall far short of proving a coordinated ownership majority. 3. Data Gaps and Definitions that Skew Interpretations — Who Counts as 'Jewish' and What Counts as 'Media'? Analysts warn that results hinge on two fuzzy definitions: the criteria for classifying someone as Jewish, and the boundaries of "media" (broadcast, film, newspapers, streaming, digital platforms). Studies highlight that Jewish identity can be religious, cultural, or ancestral, and public biographies or surnames are poor proxies; misclassification can inflate or deflate counts [1]. Simultaneously, the media ecosystem includes Big Tech platforms, local broadcasters, niche publishers, and nonprofit outlets; focusing on a small set of conglomerates or executive lists ignores the plurality of owners across hundreds of markets and platforms [5] [6]. These definitional choices materially change findings and the story they support. 4. Historical Context and the Risk of Dangerous Narratives — Concentration vs. Conspiracy Public concern over media concentration is legitimate: research shows industry consolidation and large corporate influence in content distribution, which raises democratic concerns about diversity of voices [7] [6]. However, framing concentration through an ethnic or religious lens revives long-standing antisemitic tropes that attribute coordinated control to Jews, a narrative repeatedly criticized by scholars and watchdogs [2]. Responsible analysis separates structural concentration—measurable market share and regulatory outcomes—from attributing a collective agenda to a religious group; the available evidence supports the former as a policy issue and rejects the latter as an accurate description of ownership. 5. Practical Bottom Line for Consumers and Policymakers — Focus on Ownership Mapping, Not Ethnic Attribution For an accurate assessment, policymakers and the public should prioritize transparent ownership mapping, disclosure of major shareholders, and attention to platform power, rather than using religion as a proxy for influence. Media-ownership projects and indices aim to expose concentration across mainstream, nonprofit, and digital sectors and to inform antitrust or disclosure remedies; these efforts do not find a homogeneous Jewish ownership bloc controlling most outlets [5] [7]. Addressing democratic risks means regulating concentration and improving media literacy, not promoting narratives that conflate individual representation with collective control [6] [1]. 6. Where Reporting Disagrees and What to Watch Next — Methodology Matters Divergent sources reflect methodological differences: lists of Jewish executives produce alarming headlines, while peer-reviewed or systematic ownership studies produce more modest estimates of representation and highlight corporate diffusion [3] [1] [4]. The story to watch is not whether a religious group "owns" media, but how market concentration, ownership disclosure, and governance structures shape information ecosystems; future updates should track large mergers, activist investor actions, and transparency initiatives that materially alter who controls what. https://factually.co/

RUSSIA IS A NATION WITH UKRAINE BUT ONLY A COUNTRY WITHOUT

RUSSIA NEEDS TO RETAIN UKRAIN SIMPLY FOR ITS GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION AND RESOURCE LANDMASS; Russian Ends and Means Effective strategy requires the alignment of ends, or objectives, and means to achieve those objectives.5 Putin’s primary objective is to bring Ukraine back into Russia’s sphere of influence, either directly by militarily conquering and annexing Ukraine (as Russia has done in some areas of eastern Ukraine) or indirectly by installing a Russian ally in Kyiv. In addition, Putin seeks to prevent further NATO expansion eastward, either through NATO membership or an expanding U.S. or European sphere of influence. Putin has been clear and consistent in claiming—falsely—that Ukraine is not, and has never been, an independent country with a distinct culture, history, religion, or language. In his article “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians,” Putin misleadingly noted that Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarussians are descendants of Ancient Rus and “bound together by one language (which we now refer to as Old Russian), economic ties . . . and—after the baptism of Rus—the Orthodox faith.”6 Putin continued that “there was no historical basis” for “the idea of Ukrainian people as a nation separate from the Russians.”7 After failing to bring Ukraine back into Russia’s orbit by seizing Crimea in 2014 and then using a combination of regular and irregular military units in eastern Ukraine over the next several years, Putin resorted to a conventional invasion in February 2022. But the Russian military was unable to swiftly defeat Ukrainian forces through a blitzkrieg campaign and has resorted to a strategy of attrition warfare. https://www.csis.org/analysis/russias-grinding-war-ukraine

The Trump administration is reportedly considering purchasing the strategically important Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean. See more President Donald Trump is reportedly setting his sights on a new territorial acquisition, and this time it's not Greenland. The administration is exploring a deal involving a strategically vital island chain in the Indian Ocean. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly raised the idea to Trump. Donald Trump reportedly considering buying Chagos Islands The White House is reportedly weighing a plan to purchase the Chagos Islands, The Independent reported on Sunday. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent directly raised the idea with President Donald Trump. The Chagos Islands comprise dozens of islands located in the Indian Ocean. The territory hosts Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-U.K. military base of major strategic importance. A U.S. official told The Independent that the Trump administration opposes the U.K. "giving away the British Indian Ocean Territory." The official called Diego Garcia "a vital and indispensable military installation of significant importance." The U.K. has controlled the Chagos Islands since 1814. Trump previously called the U.K.'s planned cessation of the islands to Mauritius "an act of GREAT STUPIDITY." The U.K. delayed legislation completing that transfer after the U.S. withdrew support in January. Multiple sources told The Telegraph that Bessent presented the purchase as one option for Trump. The plan was reportedly not the president's "leading" option at the time, sources said. Diego Garcia sits in a highly strategic location, enabling missions across Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The base supports U.S. efforts to counter Chinese military activity while also enabling strikes on Iran. Under the previous U.K. plan, Diego Garcia would have remained under joint U.S.-U.K. control. Since returning to the White House, the president has increasingly focused his foreign policy on territorial acquisitions. His earlier push to acquire Greenland from Denmark ended after strong resistance from European and NATO leaders. He also threatened to annex Canada, Venezuela, Panama, and Cuba during his second term.

How 2 Live Longer & Healthier

I disagree on 1 suggestion as a small meal at Bedtime which is a Scandinavian and Finnish Tradition usually makes for a Good Night's sleep... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/other/a-longevity-doctor-said-you-should-add-3-habits-to-your-health-portfolio-to-slow-aging/ar-AA23Apao?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=6a261064a7204c439cf06f4dd2de5e02&ei=7 A top longevity doctor said you have more control over healthy aging than you think. She recommends simple lifestyle changes to boost sleep and metabolism for a longer life. Invest in your health with small tweaks like not eating before bed and optimizing your workout. Good genes are one of the biggest factors in living a long, healthy life: up to 50% of longevity is inherited, new research suggests. Still, DNA doesn't have to be your destiny when it comes to aging and illness.Take Dr. Florence Comite. As an identical twin, she's seen firsthand how our unique life experiences can shape our health and, more importantly, what we can do about it. "If we're identical twins, why do I love sushi and sashimi, and she doesn't really eat fish? I murder plants, and she's an amazing gardener," Comite quipped to Business Insider. "By understanding all the factors that make up who we are and thinking of it as a proactive approach, you identify risk before symptoms, and you can stop it in its tracks and even reverse it," she said of aging. Comite is a top longevity doctor, the founder of the Comite Center for Precision Medicine, and author of the new book "Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer." She's also an expert in epigenetics, the study of chemical changes that influence gene activity, including those that may affect the aging process. "Being able to turn switches on and off by the choices we make is the way we can give the control back to ourselves, she said. Comite said that today's decisions can make a huge difference in our ability to thrive for decades to come. "We begin to show changes of aging below the surface at the cellular level in the 30s. And we can do something about it to really protect our health for life because the earlier we do it, the better off we're going to be," she said. Comite shared some of the best health changes she's made to her own routine that you can add to your own "health portfolio" for a longer, healthier life. 1..Ditch the bedtime snacks (I disagree as a small healthy meal atround Bedtime is normally Healthy and improves zzzzzz... Comite said she saw major benefits after triumphing over her own personal health nemesis: the late-night snack. "I'm a grazer. At night, I would just sit and snack on fruit, chocolate, ice cream, whatever. When I gave that up, and I made myself aware of the fact that I just have to stop eating an hour or two before bed, it was a world of difference," she said. Cutting out nighttime eating may support digestion and sleep quality, including deep sleep, the time when your body can repair cellular damage to support your metabolism, immune system, and other essential functions. That's why quality sleep is essential for long-term health, helping stave off age-related decline. "In your 20s, you can sort of burn the candle at both ends, and your body can compensate. That's no longer possible in your 30s," Comite said. 2. Cut your alcohol intake in half - I disagree and say rarely if ever consume alcohol because essentially it is FUN POISON If you're winding down for the night with wine, whiskey, or beer, you may be doing more harm than good. Alcohol has increasingly been tied to serious health risks like cancer, heart disease, and dementia. Recent evidence suggests there may be no safe amount of alcohol. To minimize the risk of drinking, stick to no more than one serving per day for women and two for men, according to the CDC. Comite said a simple way to cut back is to swap in a glass of plain water between boozy beverages, halving the amount of alcohol you consume. If you enjoy a drink, consume in moderation and stay hydrated with plenty of water to protect your health. "If you like alcohol, cut it back. If you drink two glasses, have one glass and a glass of water because alcohol will cause your blood sugar to go up and then go down while you sleep," Comite said. For more precise insights on your blood sugar, Comite recommends wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), which can give real-time data on your body's unique response to different types of food and beverages. 3. Combine cardio and strength training - PG says add stretching / yoga and meditation (thinking time) Another way to optimize your longevity routine is to diversify your fitness, Comite said. "I make time for exercise. Three days a week, I'm in the gym for an hour, and I mainly do weights. There's a little bit of high intensity and aerobic," she said. Between sets of weighted exercises, Comite said she'll spend some time on the rower for longevity-boosting cardio. Comite said she also prioritizes high-intensity interval training (HIIT), such as sprint sessions. The right HIIT workout can maximize your time by tapping into key fitness metrics like VO2 max to make the most of every minute you spend exercising.

Comite said a simple way to cut back is to swap in a glass of plain water between boozy beverages, halving the amount of alcohol you consume. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/other/a-longevity-doctor-said-you-should-add-3-habits-to-your-health-portfolio-to-slow-aging/ar-AA23Apao?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=6a261064a7204c439cf06f4dd2de5e02&ei=7

PEOPLE ARE SO QUICK TO KICK YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN. HANG IN THERE DT!!! PG STILL LOVES YOU XO President Donald Trump is showing off a new portrait painted for his upcoming 80th birthday — and users are pointing out an obvious inaccuracy. “‘Why are his eyes open? It’s not natural,’ one user commented on X, while another posted a photo of the president with his eyes closed in the Oval Office, appearing to be asleep, writing, ‘This is a far more accurate depiction…’” reported The Daily Beast's Wiktoria Gucia. Another person was reported as posting “What’s wrong with this one?” while attaching a picture of Trump with his eyes closed.

UKRAINE MESS

Ukraine is a terrible mess. Seems the Russians and Ukrainians really hate each other ... Since February 24, 2022, the United States has committed over $118 billion in assistance to Ukraine, including roughly $65 billion in immediate military aid. In early 2023, the Biden administration approved the provision of increasingly advanced weaponry, such as the Patriot air defense system, crucial for defending against Russian airstrikes, and top-tier battle tanks. U.S. troop presence in Europe has also increased to more than one hundred thousand soldiers. Despite continued condemnation by key international actors, Russia continues to build valuable partnerships; North Korea and Iran share intelligence and military equipment, while others, namely India and China, have begun purchasing Russian oil and gas at discounted prices. On June 23, Putin faced a major internal challenge when Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the former leader of the Wagner Group of mercenaries, accused the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) of shelling his forces and announced a “march of justice” to unseat the military leadership. The mutiny followed months of tensions with the MoD. Wagner forces quickly occupied Rostov-on-Don, seized Russia’s southern military headquarters, and subsequently advanced more than halfway to Moscow. Putin declared the march “treason” and offered amnesty for soldiers who stopped. On June 24, Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko negotiated for Prigozhin and his Wagner soldiers to relocate to Belarus. Two months after the revolt, Prigozhin died in a private plane crash outside of Moscow. U.S. officials believe an explosion ordered by Putin likely brought it down. https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker/conflict/conflict-ukraine

MORTGAGE IN RETIREMENT

MORTGAGE IN FRENCH MEANS "SLOW DEATH" BTW LOL PG SAYS "WEALTH IS A STATE OF MIND" & "YOU ARE ONLY AS WEALTHY AS YOU ARE HEALTHY" https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/posthaste-more-retired-canadians-mortgage-120125910.html Twenty-two per cent of retirees polled still have a mortgage, more than half of which do not expect to pay it off in under 10 years. More than 20 per cent of retirees and 12 per cent of pre-retirees do not expect to be able to pay off the mortgage at all. Household indebtedness has been rising for all Canadians, making it more likely that a bigger share of the population will enter their retirement years carrying debt. According to Statistics Canada, the number of senior families with debt rose to 42 per cent in 2016, up from 27 per cent in 1999. The proportion with mortgage debt almost doubled. About two-thirds of the total increase in debt for seniors was attributable to an increase in mortgage debt, said the agency. Since then the challenges have only increased. In another survey by EQ Bank this week more than half of Canadian homeowners aged 45 and older said their retirement savings have been negatively impacted by economic uncertainties over the past year. And there have been plenty of those, including the U.S. trade war that has battered Canada’s economy and the Iran war that has sent fuel prices soaring. Inflation tops the list of Canadians’ concerns about their retirement in Fidelity’s poll at 80 per cent, followed by turmoil in world politics and a weaker economy or recession in Canada at 60 per cent. More than a third of retirees said that they have moved their assets into more conservative investments such as GICs, bonds and cash because of worries about global conflicts and volatile stock markets. Canadians are also concerned about their social safety net. “Nine in 10 Canadians expect to rely on government programs for retirement income. But far fewer expect these programs to remain as generous as they are today,” said the Fidelity report.

A GENERATION THAT CANNOT AFFORD TO RETIRE

FASCINATING Nick Lichtenberg Sun, June 7, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. NDT 10 min read The Baby Boomers have most of the wealth and power in America, so why are they so angry when this gets pointed out? In recent weeks, a collection of economic data and explanations of structural forces preventing important things like housing affordability, household formation and economic mobility have provoked many responses—some thoughtful, some angry, some even defensive, but increasingly urging me to look beyond the reliable generational framing. “Your article is gross,” one wrote to me. “There is no balance in the world we live in!” another said, adding, “a golf ball is a golf ball no matter how you putt it. So is the economy! Adapt!” Another gave me a sense of the angst felt when broad macro strokes don’t capture the reality on the ground for every micro-case: ” You write like every boomer is sitting on a McMansion and a seven‑figure IRA,” one bereaved Boomer wrote to me. “A lot of us are one bad diagnosis away from losing everything.” Still another wasn’t much of a hater at all, but wrote with wistfulness about what’s gone down. “Many boomers are poor, scared, and anxious about the life they have left,” they wrote. “They were led to believe that if they worked hard and climbed the corporate ladder you would eventually be able to be financially secure and retire at 65 and enjoy their ‘golden years.’ Many tried this approach but ran into misfortune along the way.” Either there was a layoff at 55 to 60 years old, unanticipated health issues, or others. “Life happens. For many boomers, the golden years are not golden, and they don’t have much to look forward to. Their bodies are broken and they are still in debt. They are trapped in a life without a way out and their future does not look golden. Yes, they live longer, but for too many of them, not better and certainly not in a way they expected when they were younger.” It speaks to the very real sense many Boomers have that things weren’t supposed to end up like this. The generation that rode cheap college, rising home prices, and the 401(k) revolution into late career was expected to bow out gracefully, freeing up houses and jobs for their kids and grandkids. Instead, millions are hanging on—staying in big homes they can’t quite afford to leave and in jobs they can’t quite afford to quit—because they’re confronting a grim reality: in financial terms, they are broke and living too long. A generation that can’t afford to retire Roughly 30 million “peak boomers” are turning 65 between 2024 and 2030. Two‑thirds of them will not be financially prepared to maintain their pre‑retirement lifestyles, according to an analysis by ALI Retirement Income Institute economist Jason Fichtner and colleagues that modeled their assets, expected lifespans, and spending needs. More than half have $250,000 or less in retirement savings—before health shocks, market downturns, or long‑term care—which means they will lean heavily on Social Security and work income to get by. Vanguard’s research on “young baby boomers” reaches a similar conclusion from a different direction. Only about 40% of workers in their early sixties are on track to sustain their standard of living in retirement; the typical near‑retiree faces about a 24% income gap, roughly $9,000 a year. Other surveys find that nearly half of boomers have less than $100,000 saved and about a quarter have nothing set aside at all, despite being at or near traditional retirement ages. For a generation that could easily spend 20 to 30 years in retirement, the math does not pencil out. Dan, a 71-year-old who retired in 2021, wrote to me of his “head-down and plow-in-the-dirt mentality,” claiming he never missed a day of work in 18 years at a mechanic shop (third shift.) But in the past two or three decades, “we all (not just Baby Boomers) saw our spendable income shrink. How far is it going to shrink? No one knows. Not only that, many of our benefits have been substantially reduced or completely taken away.” Although it’s true that he has acquired what look like “substantial bank accounts,” he worries about assisted living costing $10,000 a month. “No Baby Boomer wants to be in that situation but it is always in the back of our minds.” The only recourse is to keep working or to hang onto what they worked for — there is no choice about passing on wealth to the next generation when the economy feels precarious. Dan gets at the core mismatch. A Stanford Center on Longevity analysis notes that a healthy 60‑year‑old woman today has more than a 50% chance of living to 90 and roughly a one‑in‑three chance of reaching 95; men aren’t far behind. Yet surveys as far back as the mid‑2010s found that only about 30% of workers aged 55 and older had accumulated $250,000 or more in retirement savings, even as actuaries were projecting 25‑ to 30‑year retirements as increasingly common. Even if Boomers planned well for retirement, then, how could they plan for an explosion in lifespan and cost-of-living crisis? A widely cited survey from the Indexed Annuity Leadership Council found that 60% of boomers thought they needed less than $1 million to retire comfortably, and large shares underestimated their likely lifespan and overestimated their Social Security benefits. That combination—optimism about benefits, pessimism about how long they would live—helped produce a cohort that, on paper, owns more wealth than any in history, but in practice includes tens of millions of people who will struggle to finance the last third of their lives. Stuck in big houses The housing market is where this financial anxiety becomes concrete. Boomers and older Gen Xers own a disproportionate share of the nation’s three‑bedroom‑plus homes, including many in desirable urban and suburban neighborhoods. They bought those houses when prices were lower and interest rates were modest; many now hold mortgages with rates below 4% or own their homes outright.The reason boomers don’t move isn’t just sentiment—most boomer homeowners (about 54%) have no mortgage at all, so there’s little financial pressure to sell. A Redfin analysis of 2024 Census data found that empty-nest baby boomers (one- to two-adult households) own 28% of U.S. homes with three or more bedrooms, compared with 16% for millennial households with kids. Housing economists talk about a “mortgage lock‑in” effect: when you have a low fixed rate and a large unrealized gain, selling and buying even a smaller place can raise monthly costs once you factor in today’s higher rates, taxes, and fees. That’s exactly what many older homeowners describe. A couple in Phoenix wrote that they “cannot afford to sell our home and move,” noting that one‑bedroom apartments now rent for more than their mortgage and that senior living facilities are out of reach. “We are not rich, just comfortable at the moment,” they said—emphasis on “at the moment.” This attitude extends down to generations, based on a darkly funny exchange I got with a certain Gen Xer. “I do live in a 6400-sq-ft house with a $3 million view that’s paid off. I just want to say that if my continued existence can possibly make any younger people more miserable, broke, and whiny, then it’s all worth it. Sincerely, a Gen X who worked hard and has no problem with the younger generation paying high rent for crappy apartments while they build zero equity. Did you hear that sound? It was my heart breaking for the younger generation(s) (not).” When I followed up to ask why younger generations seem whiny, I got a nice picture of that $3 million view, and the explanation, “I have no idea, but anytime I go on social media young people are complaining about their inability to buy a house or a car. I worked seven days a week most of my life for what I have; no one ever heard a single complaint out of me and they never will. And for the record, I am a hard-core liberal Democrat and always have been.” An unequal pig in the python None of this is evenly distributed. Wealth data show extreme inequality among older Americans: early work using the AHEAD survey found that households with someone 70 or older in the top tenth of the wealth distribution held around 2,500 times as much wealth as those in the bottom tenth, and more recent work finds that inequality has widened further since the late 1990s. Older Black and Latino households, renters, and those with chronic health conditions are far more likely to enter late life with low assets and high debt. The letters reflect that divide. At one end is the anxious, under‑saved retiree doing everything possible to stretch limited assets. At the other is the California homeowner who bought for just over $1 million and now sits on a home worth more than $4 million—but worries that selling would trigger close to $1 million in combined federal and state taxes. In the middle is a broad group that describes itself as “fine, but not secure” and treats staying in place—physically and professionally—as the only rational option. A system built for shorter lives It is easy to frame this as a morality tale about selfish boomers strangling the economy they built by refusing to move or retire. The reality is more structural, and in some ways more damning. Over several decades, the U.S. shifted retirement risk from employers and the state onto individuals just as lifespans were lengthening and housing and healthcare costs were exploding. Defined‑benefit pensions gave way to 401(k)s; long‑term care remained largely uncovered; tax and housing policy rewarded holding onto appreciating property rather than making room. Boomers largely followed the script they were given: work hard, buy a house, save in tax‑advantaged accounts, rely on Social Security to fill in the gaps. Many are now discovering in their late 60s and early 70s that the script did not account for a 90‑plus lifespan or for the cumulative effects of wage stagnation, market crashes, and runaway medical costs. Seen from the outside, they look like a wall of retirees hoarding houses and jobs; seen from the inside, they look like a generation quietly terrified of running out of money before they run out of years. To then be blamed for this structural issue, instead of recognizing its reality, seems a bridge too far. A 69-year-old real-estate consultant wrote to me to say that this reporting echoes conversations he often has with his two millennial children and five millennial nieces and nephews. “I have systematically and factually compared my affordability when I bought my first house with them,” he wrote. “In every analysis, the cost of homes were less, interest rates were much higher, the quality of the homes and the areas I could afford were not close to what they want.” Most millennials, he argues, are unwilling to do what needs to be done to get a house,” whether that’s save more to buy a house in a nicer neighborhood or pursue a house somewhere less fashionable. Overall, the added, this is “not a generational issue (though that’s is one the influences), but one of economics. It’s the sheer number of Boomers that creates the problem you describe, not the Boomers themselves.” https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/posthaste-more-retired-canadians-mortgage-120125910.html This story was originally featured on Fortune.com

Moderate Livelihood Defined

Key Elements of the Livelihood Scope of Income: The Supreme Court defined a moderate livelihood as a way to meet basic day-to-day needs.

Is Happiness A Moderate Livelihood?

Is this the key to living a Happy Life? i.e.; Pursing a "Modeate Livelihood" as defined by the supreme court of Canada? The concept of a moderate livelihood in Canada refers to the constitutional right of certain Indigenous groups—primarily in the Maritimes—to hunt, fish, and gather to provide for the "necessaries of life" (such as food, clothing, and housing) plus a few amenities, but it does not extend to the accumulation of wealth.The Marshall Decision (1999)The phrase stems from the landmark Supreme Court of Canada R. v. Marshall decisions. The court ruled that Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet), and Peskotomuhkati peoples have an established treaty right to hunt and fish for a livelihood, based on the Peace and Friendship Treaties of 1760-1761.Key Elements of the LivelihoodScope of Income: The Supreme Court defined a moderate livelihood as a way to meet basic day-to-day needs. It equates to generating a modest income (often cited by fishers as enough to provide basic necessities rather than engaging in massive commercial expansion).Federal Management vs. Treaty Rights: While the highest court affirmed the right, it also clarified in subsequent rulings (Marshall II) that the federal government can regulate this right for reasons like conservation, provided it justifies the regulations and accommodates the treaty rights.Fisheries & Oceans Canada (DFO): The DFO works directly with First Nations to negotiate and implement community-developed "Moderate Livelihood Fishing Plans". These plans often authorize community members to fish during established commercial seasons to ensure sustainability and avoid escalating tensions with non-Indigenous commercial fishers.On-Going TensionsDespite rulings dating back to the late 1990s, the exact definition of a "moderate livelihood" and how these fisheries should be regulated remain heavily debated. The implementation of self-regulated Indigenous fisheries outside of federally mandated commercial seasons has periodically led to conflict, equipment seizures, and legal battles.For a look at the ongoing conflicts and court challenges surrounding the moderate livelihood fishery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnolCFeO93c

TRUMP LOSES IT ON SUNDAY TV

Trump is unravelling ... and to think he was my HERO since I was 14 ... sad; President Donald Trump lasted through probing questions about his Iran war strategy and repeated weather disruptions during an interview with US broadcaster NBC -- but angrily stormed out when confronted over his unfounded claims of election fraud. "You're a one-sided, crooked network. Sorry. Let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time," Trump told "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker before standing up and walking out of the interview that aired Sunday. The interview, filmed Friday, was conducted on a farm in Wisconsin, where Trump was addressing farmers. A tractor and hay bales served as a backdrop. The interview was interrupted several times by weather and audio issues as torrential rain pounded the roof, making it difficult to continue the conversation. "Is that wind or what?" Trump asked at one point. "Hear that sound?" he said later. "That sound of thunder, lightning, rain." Welker asked her technical crew if they should stop. "No. People will understand -- we're on a farm," the president replied. Several questions followed about Iran, nuclear weapons and his campaign pledges to keep the United States out of foreign wars. "First of all, I didn't guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world?" he said, then accusing Welker of being "a big liberal, a big progressive." "No, I'm just a journalist," she countered. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-storms-tense-rain-plagued-192419262.html

Early Newfoundland History

The Rock has a slong and storied History. Wikipedia has some good references like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_St._John%27s_history Newfoundland's (I CALL IT NEWFOUNDISLAND LOL) name has been attributed to the belief that John Cabot sailed into the harbour on the Nativity of John the Baptist in 1497, although it is most likely a legend that came with British settlement. A more realistic possibility is that a fishing village with the same name existed without a permanent settlement for most of the 16th century.[11] Indicated as São João on a Portuguese map from 1519, it is one of the oldest cities in North America.[12][failed verification] It was officially incorporated as a city in 1888. With a metropolitan population of approximately 239,316 (as of 16 January 2025), the St. John's Metropolitan Area is Canada's 22nd-largest metropolitan area and the second-largest Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) in Atlantic Canada, after Halifax, Nova Scotia.[13] The city has a rich history, having played a role in the Seven Years' War, the American Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal in St. John's.[14] Its history and culture have made it into an important tourist destination.[15] St. John's was referred to as Baile Sheáin (Johnstown), in the poetry of Donnchadh Ruadh Mac Conmara (1715–1810), and among speakers of the Irish language in Newfoundland.[16] 15th Century 1497 – Tradition declares that St. John's earned its name when explorer John Cabot became the first European to sail into the harbour, on June 24, 1497 — the feast day of Saint John the Baptist.[1] 16th Century 1519 – The earliest record of the location appears as São João on a Portuguese map by Pedro Reinel. 1527 – When John Rut visited St. John's in 1526 he found Norman, Breton and Portuguese ships in the harbour (during his New World voyage). 1527 – On August 3, John Rut wrote a letter to King Henry on the findings of his voyage to North America; this was the first known letter sent from North America. St. Jehan is shown on Nicholas Desliens' world map of 1541 and San Joham is found in João Freire's Atlas of 1546. It was during this time that Water Street was first developed, making it the oldest street in North America.[2] 1583 – On August 5, Sir Humphrey Gilbert claimed the area as England's first overseas colony under Royal Charter of Queen Elizabeth I. At the time, he found 16 English ships with 20 French and Portuguese vessels using the harbour; at the time, settlement had developed on the north side of the harbour.[3] There was no permanent English settler population, however, and Gilbert was lost at sea during his return voyage, thereby ending any immediate plans for settlement. The Newfoundland National War Memorial is located on the waterfront in St. John's, at the purported site of Gilbert's landing and proclamation. 1585 -- Bernard Drake's Newfoundland Expedition uses St. John's as a base to supply its ships as it warns English fishermen of a Spanish embargo on their trade and decimates the Spanish and Portuguese fishing-industry in the area. 17th Century 1620 – By 1620 the fishermen of England's West Country had excluded other nations from most of the east coast. 1627 – St. John was "the principal prime and chief lot in all the whole country". 1665 – The town's first significant defenses were probably erected due to commercial interests, following the temporary seizure of St. John's by the Dutch admiral Michiel de Ruyter in June. 1673 – The inhabitants were able to fend off a second Dutch attack. 1675 – St. John's was by far the largest settlement in Newfoundland when English naval officers began to take censuses around 1675. 1680 – Fishing ships (mostly from South Devon) set up fishing rooms at St. John, bringing hundreds of Irish men into the port to operate inshore fishing boats. 1689 – The British government began to plan fortifications around 1689, and these were constructed following the retaking of St. John's after the French admiral Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville captured and destroyed the town late in 1696. The French attacked St. John's again in 1705 and 1708, and devastated civilian structures with fire. 1699 – Anglican Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador founded. 18th century 1705 – The town was besieged by the French in Queen Anne's War (War of the Spanish Succession). 1709 - 1 January 1709 [O.S. 21 December 1708], during Queen Anne's War, (the Battle of St. John's) the town was captured and burned by the French. The French, however, left and the town was reoccupied by the British later that year. 1711 - Abortive British attack on Placentia, Newfoundland. 1713 - Treaty of Utrecht removes French from Placentia. Subsequently, British fortifications decay. 1743 - Major reconstruction of Fort William by the British. 1745 - Naval squadron from Newfoundland sent to support successful Anglo-American attack on Louisbourg, Nova Scotia. 1756-63 - Seven Years' War, (French and Indian War) 1762 – French capture Bay Bulls and St. John's in June.
