That’s why Musk and Thiel are pushing this hard financially. JD Vance is their man. Trump gets the win, out in 12 months because of his mental health issues (which will also be used as defence for everything) And Vance takes over. (I predicted Trumps cognitive health and defence years ago)

Netanyahu is sounding utterly desperate today. He's posting non-stop about high Arab voting turnout to create hysteria and fear. He also released a video statement claiming "They are trying to steal the election from us!" Arab Israelis make up 21% of the Israeli electorate.

It was 1986. Reagan begged Congress to give $100M to the Contras, a right-wing paramilitary. Then he struck Libya. Reagan tried to link the two interventions, to justify it all. And he found that language in a book by a young diplomat: Benjamin Netanyahu. zeteo.com/p/40-years-a...

In Nazi Germany, turning in or denouncing your neighbor was a common practice that relied heavily on ordinary citizens reporting peers to the Gestapo or party officials out of fear, personal grudges, ideology, or material gain.

Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.” Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.

Kushner took a $50 mn bribe from the Emiratis to orchestrate the firing of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, according to Matt Cole's new book, Princes and Thieves, out today. To be clear, this is a serious felony, if true.

The timeline of former Senior Advisor Jared Kushner’s security clearance was one of the most scrutinized personnel processes in modern White House history, involving multiple form revisions, background checks, temporary downgrades, and eventual presidential intervention.

Reversal: The rejection was overruled by Carl Kline, the White House Personnel Security Director appointed by the administration. Reporting revealed that President Donald Trump directly ordered Chief of Staff John Kelly to grant Kushner the clearance despite objections from intelligence officials

March–June 2017: Kushner updates his SF-86 multiple times to add over 100 foreign contacts across 20+ countries, including meetings with russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Russian bank executive Sergey Gorkov.

In Ingram, Kerr Co, Texas, local police helped the DHS seize roughly ten percent of the entire population of the town and deport them. The economic and social consequences for the community have been devastated. And the police have now concluded they made a serious error in judgment.

Stop the Boatloads of cash... All these overseas-based economic migrants donating to the Refukkers, whilst patriotically avoiding paying UK taxes. Including some based in the EU, funding a party that stops their fellow Brits from having that freedom. 🤔

This morning on BBC Breakfast, Nigel Farage said he had received “zero help from the state” with his security. Yet reports say he had previously received publicly funded protection and was offered a taxpayer-funded package including a bodyguard, a secure car and a trained driver.

As in Hungary, the authoritarian regime in Serbia is being dismantled . “For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.

Back in the US after a long break in the UK, I am suffering from total sticker shock after visiting a couple of DC supermarkets. I have never seen prices like it. Inflation numbers here are going to soar & are not yet telling the full story. The difference between late May & today is staggering.

The far-right can be defeated but one crucial factor is motivating young people to vote. If young people had voted in the same numbers as older people the UK would still be in the EU.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.
