President Trump continues to sow the wind, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝. LDC famine and starvation in the tens of millions; other millions on the move...
The emphasis is on the word 'play' in "America should be *playing* the mediator"!
Replying to @vick55top
No way Ukraine should be asked to accept any Russian offer. America should be playing the mediator and insuring Ukraine security and the security of Eastern Europe
Is the back right supposed to be GWB, the front left GHWB, and the front right JEC? They aren't very good likenesses!
Hey @grok, give the worst USA President a clown makeover without changing anything else!
Ian Proud interviews Jacques Baud on his 'situation' youtu.be/vs3imOeOZbM?is=fYDK…
Suresh Nirody - snirody.eth retweeted
Jacques Bauds letzten Sätze zeigen, dass er als Ex-Militär vor allem Diplomat ist, eine Eigenschaft, die ihm die Europäische Union durch die Sanktionierung abspricht:
“Die westliche Diplomatie wurde weitgehend durch eine Politik des Drucks ersetzt. […] Wir verurteilen lieber, als Probleme zu lösen, aber Verurteilungen lösen nichts. […] Die Schweiz hätte diesen Ausweg bieten können, doch dafür muss man glaubwürdig sein. […] Indem wir unsere Neutralität nutzen, um Brücken zu bauen, können wir eine Rolle spielen, die nicht nur sichtbarer, sondern auch konstruktiver und ehrenhafter ist. Bewahren wir die Neutralität, es lebe die Schweiz!”
„Am Ende seiner Rede kippt seine Stimme und es fliessen Tränen, bei Jacques Baud am Grossbildschirm und bei einigen der Anwesenden auf dem Bundesplatz. Die Ungerechtigkeit und die Ohnmacht gegen administrative Willkür der EU und die Untätigkeit des Schweizer Bundesrates ist zu drückend.
Nach der Rede von Jacques Baud verliest Hans Urs vom Veranstalterteam am Mikrofon eine Resolution, die dem Bundesrat und den Präsidenten von National- und Ständerat übergeben werden soll, «damit sie vielleicht auch einmal etwas Vernünftiges denken könnten, dort im Bundeshaus.»
In der Resolution fordern die Anwesenden «die sofortige Aufhebung der rechtswidrigen, rein politischen Sanktionen gegen Jacques Baud». Es scheint, als bräuchte es weiter den «Druck der Strasse» und den publizistischen Widerstand gegen administrative Willkür und Unterdrückung; im «Wertewesten» und in der Schweiz des 21. Jahrhunderts. Das ist eigentlich ein Anachronismus und leider hochaktuell.“

It posted 639 coordinated messages in French, German, English and Polish, which drew about 7.4 million views. Accounts were created around the same dates, posts went out within short intervals, and 23 redirect sites sat on a single IP address.
Hmm, prominent MAGA voices (Trump, Vance, etc.) have framed French unrest primarily as the result of mass migration and Islam rather than school conditions, living costs, etc.

The story also changed once it left France. In English, nearly 1 in 5 posts about the riots blamed migrants or Islam. In French, it was about 1 in 33. Russian state outlets were among those pushing it, though not the only ones. (Source: Alliance4Europe)
A fine for graffiti, OK (though 75,000m Euro seems excessive). Five years for "demoralizing the army in peacetime?" If this is all it takes, perhaps the French government 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐲! Stupidity on steroids!
Fertilizer through Hormuz has dropped to zero.
No fertilizer cargoes crossing the strait in September or October.
Before the war, about 20% of the world’s traded nitrogen fertilizer went through it, Fertilizer Daily reports.
The Gulf also supplies about half of the world’s traded sulfur.
Hear me out: urea isn’t the problem.
China raised its nitrogen exports about 47% and the US about 60%.
By the end of August urea was back to its January price, IFPRI data shows.
Sulfur is the problem.
It has more than doubled, to above $1,000 a tonne, and phosphate is up 25–30%.
You need sulfur to make phosphate fertilizer.
Mosaic has idled two Louisiana plants, and India’s fertilizer subsidy bill could pass 3 trillion rupees, against 1.71 trillion budgeted.
Oil found other ways out of the Gulf.
Sulfur hasn’t.

Hmm, voice mail from a Ohio gubernatorial candidate referencing upcoming Diwali, which celebrates the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance...

To extend solvency of Social Security, all of the below:
1. Raise taxable max (~$184,500 in 2026) to $360,000
2. Increase the payroll tax rate (currently 12.4%, split between employee and employer) to 14%
3. Raise the full retirement age from current 67 to 70 over 15 years
4. Slow cost-of-living adjustments by switching to a chained CPI
5. Reduce benefits by the percentages on the attached effective 2028
Re "there are no parasites that control their hosts..." perhaps not "control" but definitely "influence!"
Replying to @corsair21c
there are no parasites that control their hosts - outside the realm of science fiction - which is the world you live in if you can't see the US as the source of the problem - an empire with many proxies - not just one.
Yep, including all those "political prop" olive references pre-inserted into the Bible...
