My utilities come to about £3,000 a year. Cruella claims £45,000 from us to pay for hers. And she'll no doubt be cheering on 'Honest' Bob's plans to cut welfare from those most in need.

Taking a page out of Project 2025 Donald Trump is hiding statistics from the public. He's hiding everything from air pollution levels to child leukemia clusters to genuine employment numbers and almost everything the government keeps track of.

Russia is resupplying Iran with missiles. Guess who is, in effect, paying for those missiles when we pump $$$ to Russia for diesel? That's right. Another masterstroke from the genius-in-chief.

I spelled out "superpower suicide" in this essay from May 2026. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.
