On Friday Minnesota shut down in solidarity. It’s the nation’s first general strike in response to Trump’s thuggery. Across the state, businesses are closed. People are not shopping. Workers have stayed home or called in sick. Labor unions are encouraging work stoppages. Residents are helping one another. It’s an economic blackout. Organizers are calling it […]

“Let’s unite and… remain vassals, not slaves.” Very telling! In Davos, the discussion is focused on what to do about Trump’s desire to “bend” Europe, seize Greenland, and erect new trade barriers. Macron, as evident from his speech, calls for collective governance, though it’s unclear whether this will be with the United States or separately, […]

So, Trump has been presented with yet another shiny object. This time, it’s a Nobel Peace Prize medal, awarded (for reasons unknown) to Venezuelan opposition figure and double agent for liberal interventionists and neocons, María Corina Machado. Machado’s move is expected and logical: Trump needs to be flattered, given shiny things, and “celebrated for his […]

So evil Dick has finally met his maker and one hopes that this is the last time we hear the name of this greedy, disloyal, nefarious, and pompous scoundrel. The young, progressive, smiling, liberal, and politically correct hope of the Democratic party is in. Voted in as the mayor of the large American city with […]

Deputy Prime Minister Chernyshenko took part in the so-called demo day (sounds ominous) of the international accelerator Sber500, hosted by Sber and its Chairman of the Board, Gref, as part of the Moscow Startup Summit at SberCity. During the demo day opening, Chernyshenko thanked Sber as “a corporation that has built a veritable conveyor belt […]

For some reason, Donald Trump announced some extremely important statement that he will make on Monday, July 14. In fact, this is a holiday that is solemnly and publicly celebrated in France. For France, this is the National Day (La Fête Nationale). With a parade, receptions and other official bells and whistles. Donald Trump is […]

In loving memory of my very dear 6-foot-7-inch Republican senator friend. My old friend Senator Alan Simpson died this morning. He was 93. Our friendship began at one of those interminable Washington receptions I had grown to hate. They were always stand-up events where I was expected to engage in small talk with dozens if […]

With this “good news” US President Donald Trump began his 100-minute speech, which was listened to by both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court justices. The Republican part of the hall applauded standing. The Democrats whistled, booed and raised protest signs. The most zealous Democrat, who interrupted Trump and waved his cane at him, […]

Kash Patel was sworn in as the ninth FBI director in Washington, D.C., in the presence of his parents and girlfriend. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel, 45, who barely made it through his Senate hearings, is tasked with Donald Trump’s most difficult and dangerous job: exposing and cleaning up the secret network of the “deep state.” […]

The 61st Munich Security Conference (MSC) will be held from 14 to 16 February 2025 at the Bayerischer Hof in Munich. How many cool things and people this lair, familiar to all initiates, has seen!
