Iran knew what it was doing. They expected the war and prepared for it. They built missiles and drones and got through Israel's Iron Dome. If you send a hundred at once, you can't shoot them all down. That's part of why the US is in serious trouble militarily. Iran has depleted a lot of the stockpile. If there were a war now with Russia and China, the US wouldn't have the equipment to fire with.

Mamdani is on the path to destroying New York City. Wall Street has moved to Texas and Florida. Texas set up an exchange to compete with New York, which opened in July. They never open a history book and ask whether this has ever worked.

You're seeing separatist movements with Scotland, Wales and Ireland. In Canada, it's east versus west. With Democrats taking the midterms, I think you'll see rising separatist movements in the United States too.

The AfD won a couple of elections, and it looks like they would probably win federally. In France, Marine Le Pen is polling around 46%. With the riots, another poll might put her over 50%. Both represent a real threat to Brussels. Both are anti-war and anti-Brussels. Meloni has said she wants some sovereignty back. Brussels needs an external enemy, and that's Russia. Without it, Brussels will collapse. Our computer shows the likelihood of the EU surviving past 2029 isn't very high.

I'm disappointed in government. By 2032, the computer projects a risk of these republican forms of government collapsing. People are getting frustrated. You're seeing it in Europe, where you're likely to see a greater risk of war because Brussels is in a difficult position.

Nobody's interested in the country anymore. Whatever Trump says, they take the opposite position. Democrats opposed NAFTA because it would cost American jobs. Trump wants out, and suddenly they're for it. They flip-flop. It doesn't matter.

The computer still shows a tighter Senate race, but it has always shown that Republicans will probably lose the House. That's standard. Midterms usually go against whichever party is in the White House.

The immigration topic is all politics. They've been deliberately trying to change the population so they can retain power. That's what it's always about.migration

The left knows it's declining. Look at how many seats the Democrats have held. The major high was the Civil War. Each time they get power, it's less. It's a bear market.Biden allowed people in assuming they would vote for the free lunch. Europe did the same thing.

We had good trade relations with Russia and China. Then this nonsense of taking Russia out of SWIFT. These people may be experts in one field, but they know nothing about anything else. What brings everybody together is free trade. If you trade with Russia and somebody says, “We want to go to war,” their own people will then realize they will be out of business so the private sector puts a check and balance against government.

World peace is attainable. Open up and allow everybody free trade. That's how Rome lasted for a thousand years. Different cultures, but somebody could make a vase in France and sell it in Syria. No tariffs, no taxation. Free trade kept Rome together. It was more beneficial to be inside Rome than outside.

Macron has shown exactly what I've been saying: nobody in government will accept responsibility for a mistake. It's always somebody else's fault.

When Macron addressed France about the riots, he said Gasoline and energy prices went up, and it's Trump's fault because of the Middle East. No mention of Zelensky taking out Russian refineries. The Middle East is crude oil. Zelensky is targeting refineries: jet fuel, heating oil and diesel. It's very selective memory.

What we need in government is one time in and out. Once they get there, they have to keep lying to keep the job. They'll never admit a mistake. It goes on everywhere.

Europe is a different situation. They're setting France on fire and burning churches. All I hear is, “They might do that over here.” What they let in over there were people from third-world countries who had been radicalized. I think it's seriously distorted everything. I disagree with it.

Government has become so arrogant. It doesn't matter which government we're looking at. They will never admit a mistake. They refuse to give an answer because they can't. It ends up being a cover-up. Somebody made a stupid decision, and that's it.

They've confused illegal immigrants that Biden let in with anybody who's not an American. I'm having that problem myself. I have an employee who's been with me since 2011. He's a key programmer in Dubai, and they won't let him into the country. I've had three lawyers. They refuse to give an explanation. There are people in the Trump administration I completely disagree with on this issue. They've taken the migrant question to extremes.

Ukraine blew up Nord Stream. They have no regard for anyone just as Zelensky told Trump to F-Off he would not stop destroying Russian refineries. The audacity of Zelensky destroying Nord Steam, undermining the Germany economy and Europe as a whole and then negs for money is beyond imagination.

Reliable sources report that two masked men set fire to Starlink antena in Bulgaria when it was said that Musk turn down Starlink for Ukraine. Then when it was to be turn on, oops, the Ukrainian in their typical vengeance destroy the antena that the Ukrainian military used. According to reports from multiple news sources, two masked individuals did set fire to Starlink antennas in Bulgaria, but the incident did not occur in Ukraine, but at a secret facility near Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. According to Bulgarian opposition lawmaker Ivaylo Mirchev, two masked men broke into a secret facility near Sofia and set fire to 11 out of 17 Starlink antennas used for communication with SpaceX satellites.
