Is the Current Quarrel Between Trump and Musk Staged?

Perhaps, the current quarrel between Trump and Musk may be a well-staged performance. It flared up again at the right time — after the reconciliation reached three weeks ago. Right now, the decisive battle is unfolding in the US Congress over the “Big Beautiful Bill”, which — if Trump wins — will give him powerful […]

How Russian Educated Society Enabled Terrorism in the Empire

What makes terrorism in the Russian Empire between 1866-1911 somewhat unique in the history of European and world terrorism was the massive sympathy and support terrorists received from many members of educated society.

A View of the Biblical Sky

This sky contains the answer to the question of why the Jews did not condemn the Bandera cult in Ukraine… I don’t think that I am the only one who sympathizes with the Iranians, not the Israelis. But this is not a game, not football on TV. Children are suffering… Biblical prophecies are coming true. […]

Everything is on Sale

The death of the last pillars of the big Western press. Something incredible is happening to the leading American media. Even in publications that were previously considered reputable, like the Wall Street Journal, in the “Opinions” or “From the Editor” sections, outright low-grade “custom-made” material is published almost daily. These materials are most likely generously […]

Ukraine Strikes Russian Air Bases

US President Donald Trump was not informed in advance about the impending attacks by Ukrainian drones on Russian airfields, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt officially and confidently stated.

Biden, King of the Forest (Part 3)

Biden, King of the Forest (Part 2) With the US Democratic Party unable to nominate a new contender for the title of “king of the forest” from its ranks, its ideologists are ready to accept any alternative — even an impersonal and unelected “Politburo”. “Even [a mentally incapacitated Biden] is preferable to me and I […]

The Last Mask of the Great Actor

I often think about what it is like to create something with full effort, being on the threshold of death. We are all doomed to it, of course, but we drown out thoughts about it with the vanity of life, work and idleness, feelings and entertainment. But when it has already knocked on the door, […]

However, the Egyptians refused the gift, and France decided to give the statue to America. In August 1875, the creation of the Franco-American Union was announced. The […]

The real Crocodile Dundee

The prototype of “Crocodile Dundee” was a Latvian. But there is a nuance… You’ve probably watched the multi-episode comedy blockbuster “Crocodile Dundee” with the charming Australian comedian Paul Hogan in the lead role. A fearless crocodile hunter from the Australian outback charms an American reporter, defeats bad guys and travels through the megalopolises of America, […]
