During his first term in office, Wall Street served as both Trump’s compass and constraint… In that way, the markets would act as a shock collar to limit the damage. But not even that could be counted on anymore.

Four stars. Some claims lack outside proof. But no other book gives you this close a look at how the Mossad operates.

Heute Morgen darf ich zur Zahnpflege. Davor genieße ich eine ausgiebige Morgenmeditation am Klavier mit Robert Schumann und Tee.

Fires continue to burn out of control in British Columbia, sending continent spanning smoke drifting across north america.

FEMA needs to be funded, staffed, and aid be provided without Trumps approval since that will always be used for extortion. Catastrophic disasters are only going to become more common.
People need to stop complaining about the "economic costs of stopping global warming" because if global warming isn't stopped there wont be an economy beyond the survivors digging through the burned out or flooded rubble of our former cities.
Also I want to ban AI data centers for many reasons, including they are largely a scam to increase demand for the fossil fuels that are killing us all.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/aug/11/ai-will-do-more-to-boost-fossil-fuel-production-than-green-energy
I strongly oppose Trump's corrupted EPA allowing data centers to say clean air rules don't apply because of some stupid excuse. The regulations should apply, and even better would be completely banning building more fossil fuel power plants.

Scientists have been warning of catastrophe for decades and the oil industries response has been to install Trump and fire all the scientists.
We need polluter pays legislation and we need to stop burning fossil fuels.
Also about the only way to defeat Iran now is to reduce the worlds oil consumption by 20% so no one cares that they can block the strait at will.
I am so hopeless that our useless government will be able to do anything to save us.
The American Middle East is finished. The regional order that has prevailed since 1991 has been one of the many casualties of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. The American and Israeli failure to overthrow the government in Iran has proved the bankruptcy of decades of sanctions and violence.

…the first shots of Trump’s second-term trade war were aimed at some of America’s closest friends and neighbors. This was more than unnerving to some members of Trump’s own team. …in the White House it was said there were now two types of people: those who loved tariffs and those who had lost the will to fight.
