As Norman Pearlstine once said to me, "You're sick and twisted…. It's tragic you exist."
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

This lady is amazing. Narrowly loses primary to Abdul, initially does a unity tour, then marries a Jewish guy, says she dreams of Israel, fantasizes about converting herself, and now she's effectively going around campaigning for the #1 Bush/Trump GOP hawk

I don't think this is enough. There should be a special reserve fund set aside -- ideally gold held by a Swiss bank -- so if the entire United States were ever wiped off the face of the earth, there would still be continued funding of Israel till the end of time.
Nancy Pelosi in 2018: “If this Capitol crumbled to the ground, the one thing that would remain would be our commitment to our aid, I don’t even call it our aid, our cooperation with Israel.”

Author Benjamin Moser on Israel's election: "There were also elections in apartheid South Africa, there were elections in French Algeria, there were even elections in the Confederate States of America... We're talking about really who's going to run the concentration camps."

Israel is “setting a permanent architecture of control made out of all the rubble and ruins of Palestinian homes” in Gaza, says @weizman_eyal, director of @ForensicArchi. “The shuffling of that rubble is destroying evidence for the genocide.”

Draft officers in Vinnytsia forcibly dragged a man out of his car and shoved him into their van. He’s going to be a soldier now. Whether he wants to or not.

Serbia's Student List supporters are now telling me N1 and Nova S are irrelevant media platforms in Serbia's information space (despite many of them following/quoting/sharing their content). However they are actually among the top 3: reutersinstitute.politics.ox… The fact the CIA/State Department set them up in 2013-2014 and they've become so dominant in Serbia's information space - only makes it more obvious how so many people became infected with "Student List" fever. Nothing is "spontaneous" or "organic." The US wielded the most powerful media outlets in Serbia's information space - and convinced everyone to go out into the streets.

Western media and Student List supporters themselves cite the central role of N1/Nova S in building up and promoting the Student List movement. US NED-funded BIRN's Media Ownership Monitor Serbia admitted United Group (N1, Nova S) were acquired and built up by former US Amb. to Serbia Cameron Munter and former CIA director and chairman at KKR David Petraeus starting in 2013-2014 specifically to serve as opposition media in Serbia.

This seems more like a hostage video than a resignation video...... Is @Lagarde alright? @BotengaM and others, please investigate.
I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027. It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution. I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

A reporter just asked Trump about the removal of Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia, but referred to him only as "Lt. Gen. Sylvia." "She’s got problems," Trump said. "She’s gonna have big problems. We’re very much looking for leakers"

On October 14, 2016, Maksym Kozytskyi, the head of the Lviv Regional State Administration, is positively ecstatic about a march honoring UPA in Lviv, where the crowd chants, “Bandera and Shukhevych are heroes of Ukraine!” Fast-forward to Oct. 28. Przemyśl, Lublin and other Polish cities are severing ties with Lviv over its decision to declare 2027 the Year of the UPA and Shukhevych. Suddenly, Kozytskyi discovers a fascinating technicality: the resolution, you see, “hasn't been signed.” Ah, the miracles that loom on the horizon when money threatens to disappear! Nothing cures a patriotic erection quite like the prospect of losing Polish funding. A truly breathtaking recovery. And they say Lviv is crawling with Banderites. Nonsense. It's crawling with opportunists whose principles are as flexible as their funding arrangements. As for the whole “Glory to Ukraine!” enterprise, apparently its real purpose is to keep the front lines supplied with fresh meat for the grinder. Patriotism is a wonderful business model. The politicians collect the dividends. Someone else's sons pay in blood.

My comments on the triumph of Arab science and their contribution to preserving Aristotle, Ptolemy, Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, during the dark ages, until it transitioned 500 years later to Copernicus, Galileo, Tycho Brah, Kepler, Vesalius, da Vinci, Gilbert. Without the great centers of Arab science in Baghdad, Cordoba, Cairo, all would have been lost. There would be no SpaceX, Anthropic, Meta, or at least not for another 500 years. You can take that to the bank straitstimes.com/world/unite…

Il presidente israeliano Herzog, interpellato sulle accuse di Netanyahu secondo cui i partiti palestinesi avrebbero “rubato” le elezioni: «Questo è un momento delicato, quindi vorrei essere chiaro: Le prove e le accuse devono essere oggetto di un’indagine approfondita, e i responsabili devono essere arrestati e chiamati a rispondere con tutto il rigore della legge». Le prove, per la cronaca, la polizia israeliana dice di non averle trovate. Ma il messaggio arriva lo stesso: se i cittadini palestinesi israeliani votano in massa, il problema NON è chi ha perso. È chi si è permesso di votare. “Unica democrazia” del Medio Oriente. Basta che votino quelli di razza superiore.

This leads off an excellent Bloomberg story about Megaspeed, and I think it understates the sheer scale of its operation to ship GPUs to china. Megaspeed is an obvious front for a Chinese company running NVIDIA GPUs bloomberg.com/news/features/…

US drones fly from Persian Gulf regimes to gather intelligence on Iran's defenses. The Islamic Republic captured a 170-MQ just hours ago—demonstrating both Iran's extraordinary electronic warfare capabilities and these regimes' sinister role in Trump's war against Iran.
Everyone should be prepared to leave the family dictatorships in Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain swiftly. If Trump moves to carry out his genocidal threats against Iran, these regimes will be demolished immediately. The global economy will collapse swiftly.

Your reminder Bandera was a Ukrainian Nazi responsible for the massacre of tens of thousands of Polish and Jewish civilians in WWII. We just gave Ukraine £10 billion.
“Bandera will come and put things in order!” proclaims the soundtrack to footage of young men from the Stepan Bandera Trident organisation engaged in military training in Ukraine
