I will probably vote for Trump, although I will remain open a little longer before I make my final decision, but I have to say that I think Trump lacks the diplomacy I find important in a Secretary of State - not as much in a president. There were so many times during his presidency when he could have conveyed the same message in a much better manner. Pissing people off is not a prerequisite for accomplishing your goals.
I thought about this on my bike ride this morning.
Foreign Ministers and Secretaries of state are the Chief Diplomats, but it doesn't mean that they have to be pleasant. Unpleasantness will be overlooked if the negotiations produce deals which are acceptable to all parties, including long-term assurances for monitoring and assuring compliance.
Trump can be nice. People in other countries like him better than we Americans do.
I never liked him since 1974 or 1975 when he was suddenly in the news with Ivanka, cheating on her with Marla Maples...
sigh.
Sergey Lavrov is the epitomy of diplomacy in every way, even his manners, but it is more important to see through what a diplomat is saying for the folks back home, and the details of the actual deal being offered.
Trump could make a lot of deals that would be good for Americans and the rest of the world, not the globalists.
I agree with everything. I've never liked Trump, either. Living in Spain for the last 15 yrs I can tell you that most people I know hate him but it's because he's all about "America First". Obama gave away the farm and everybody loved him. I think Trump has learned a lot and could do a better job if there's a "next time". It's possible to inspire respect and even fear without always being so offensive and that's what I'd like to see more of in Trump.
Probably. Besides, I loved what Naomi Wolf said in her recent post about Trump being a bully, but he's our bully! I think the country needs someone who doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks of him. (I used to think he was bad for our image, but that was before our image was completely destroyed) I don't know if anyone can stop what's happening to our country, but it will take a super hero!
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.
There appears to me a through line of greed. Consider a sky scraper. The top floors are quite indifferent to the lower floors fate. They assume the building always will be a good place. We in the USA more or less assumed if we tried hard, worked harder, put our shoulder to the wheel, did well, accomplished, sprouted up not like Dragon's Teeth, the unfair stupid system called USA would by magic improve and not decay. We were wrong.
Greed is mental illness. The rich are sick. In our life the rich bought the rules. And buy more. Tax deduction. :)
One again you takes your readers on a romp through important recent publications. Thanks for this guide that shares with us material that you have identified as valuable and worthwhile reading.
To me the contemporary folk song rendered by Oliver Anthony was hugely cathartic. It was pretty clearly a class-based critique of the ruling clique. The song emanates from the perspective of people who must work for an increasingly meagre living doing genuine labor. Yes. Its a call for solidarity among the oppressed to push off the weight of the parasites taking all the profits for themselves and leaving average folks with the major costs generated by such a ruthless top-down kleptocracy. The song highlights the surveillance society as well as the overtaxed and underpaid people in something like a call for solidarity among the working class. Bravo.
This outburst of justified indignation from Oliver Anthony should point out how ridiculous and dishonest those woksters pretending to be left-wing liberals really are. The woksters have made themselves into useful idiots not only for the likes of the people behind, for instance, Biden and Trudeau. The Woke sell-outs have also attached themselves to the Wall Street/City of London thieves who are pushing us into nuclear holocaust with Russia even as their state-backed derivative bets and shadow banks create havoc for the rest of us. Oh yah.... and lots of folks are becoming very mobilized to resist the burgeoning child abuse developing in our transgendered schools along with the attempt to normalize pedophilia, an outcome that some of the rich folks north of Richmond probably would probably welcome.
The need to revisit a renewed form of class consciousness is to my way of thinking reinforced by Leake and McCullough in their assertion,
"Readers of this Substack will probably agree with my sentiment that enough is enough of lying and obfuscating U.S. government agency officials and their mercenary lawyers. It’s time for the grown-up, reasonable citizenry of this country to join Marik, Bowden, et al. in suing the pants off the FDA and other U.S. agencies against whom there is a preponderance of evidence that they have unlawfully interfered with the doctor-patient relationship and committed negligent homicide, fraud, and concealment.
Cry havoc and let slip the plaintiffs’ attorneys! Sue the FDA; sue doctors and hospital administrators; and sue the medical boards. Let them pay for the damages they have inflicted on the families of patients who were denied ivermectin until their last breaths. Let them pay for the massive damage and distress they have caused for courageous doctors like Paul Marik and his colleagues who tried to help their patients."
In other words, the time has come to translate analysis into action. We the people are longer prepared to tolerate the kind of dance around technicalities as displayed in cynical attempts by our unaccountable governors to obfuscate the global cascades of death and destruction they have precipitated. The malicious blockage of ivermectin is just one of the giant accumulation of crimes that must be addressed. How are we the people to hold the guilty accountable for what they have done and the myriad of new crimes against humanity they are busily launching.
It seems like it should help her be wise and strong.
There is a proviso that the story could not be confirmed, since it had been at a public event, but without sharing of contact information. I included that at the end. The other stories are also compelling, but not as powerful.
I know that these things seem unworldy and farfetched. My German mother told me a story of how her mother was forced awake one night with winds and curtains flapping at the open window. Her mother heard her son shouting "mama" and saw him trying to swim. He was 23, 10 years older than my mum. It was 1942 and he was in Luftwaffe. When they received KIA notification it stated he and others had been ambushed during time off, stabbed and thrown into the canal with steep sides where they were billeted in France. Having thought more on transplant surgery, they only use about to die donors, already in hospital and I have read organs taken before absolute death so this girl's recollection is probally true. Messages get through.
Every once in a while you put out a zinger-of-a-post worthy of so much more than the screen-and-mouse-time we give it. Gracias amigo!
Also, the RFK Jr / Tulsi Gabbard combo is delicious to ponder, but Trump as Sec of St is a great idea.

I wonder what would happen if Trump exhibited some public humility. Could he get more likability by softening his edges?

Great roundup, thank you. I think the memories are contained in the water that is in the cells of the organ. Water remembers.
Water memory is a fascinating phenomena, isn't it? Oh to understand it's the range of it's magical qualities!

Thank You, Professor Hall. I fully agree.
You are right there my friend... there are wildfires out there that are deemed to suffocate humanity.
The "fires" in Hawai as it was some years ago seem to burn everything except trees...
Some kind of fire.
And the war in Ukraine...
If you ask me... Ukraine is a testbed for AI warfare.
And Hawai also was to test their space weapons.
Based on the Information I collected we have something far greater to fear... AI war.
And this is fast approaching.
Ukraine is to test this AI warfare.
That is the conclusion I had to make.

Thanks Fritz.
Confront threats!
Wow about the girl with donor heart. I hope she's ok.
I also hope she's ok.
She helped the girl who died, who helped her.
It seems like it should help her be wise and strong.
