Cortés has returned to the Americas... Chaos, then exploitation — Trump’s plan. Chaos, then exploitation — Corporate America’s plan. Chaos, then exploitation — The billionaires’ plan. Colonial extraction logic without colonies.

Rent control succession by inheritance gone bad. An anomaly.

The crisis in Nepal continues after the glacial event and the "Slurpee" icy flood that followed. 6,000 souls still missing and catastrophic structural damage. Reconstruction may cost 10% of Nepal's GDP.

AI: The next frontier? Or more of the same? #AI

Sentenced to death in Iran waiting her day with the hangman. The family says those confessions were obtained through torture and threats of sexual violence.“They told Taraneh, ‘If you don’t confess, we’re going to rape your sister in front of you" This is the Iranian regime many here cheer on.

The obvious factual foundation: the ability to promulgate sophisticated rules doesn't itself demonstrate the institutional ability to administer them effectively. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Political skullduggery: "Missouri’s Republican Party chairman, Peter Kinder, called on Ross to drop out of the race, describing the circumstances of his arrest as “serious and deeply troubling.” " But he's OK with a felon as President. Why am I not surprised?

Wanted dead or alive bounties on any soldier is tantamount to "no quarter" war crime. Now wait for the Trump war crime counteroffer in 1.. 2.. 3..

President Captain Trolling for Chaos strikes again. Trolling for traffic in so many ways.
