The implicit notion-extant on both ends of the Accela Corridor-that the present financing arrangements for the $31 trillion of publicly held US Treasuries represent the natural order of things in the financial markets is just damn nonsense.

And that's to say nothing of the brobdingnagian task ahead-finding a home for another $142 trillion of US Treasuries by mid-century at a sustainable yield that does not blow the bond pits to smithereens.

Turning on our allies has always been the American way.

Donald Trump - America's self-proclaimed "peace president," head of the world's newly created Board of Peace, and the recipient of the first FIFA Peace Prize - has nonetheless been embroiled in more than 20 wars, interventions, and conflicts. And more loom on the horizon. Cuba remains on the chopping block.

The Man Who Downgraded America

In August 2011, Deven Sharma did something unprecedented.

As president of Standard & Poor's-one of the three major agencies that assess the creditworthiness of governments and corporations-he stripped the United States of its AAA credit rating and downgraded it to AA+.

One of the greatest issues in healthcare, which I believe is a reflection of the society at large, is that everything has become so rushed that there is no longer time for doctors to actually connect with their patients. Because of this, a lot of the most critical parts of medicine get missed, and I have known so many patients who were harmed by the medical system because of the fifteen-minute-visit model.

Russia is at war with Washington and Europe, a war that has vastly widened, but Putin thinks Russia is engaged in a Special Military Operation confined to the battlefront in Donbas.

Iran is at war, an existential war, with Satanic Israel, but the Iranian leadership thinks they are responding to an American "illegal military intervention." All of Iran's invective, threats, and vows are directed at Satanic America.

"When progressives say they want to dismantle 'whiteness,' they want you to believe they mean some complicated sociological phenomenon," wrote commentator David Marcus in 2021. "They do not. They mean 'white people.' They mean they want to dismantle the lives of white people."

This warning could come to mind when pondering Mayor Zohran Mamdani-led New York City's recent erasure of "whiteness." This amounted to omission of Italian-heritage (and, reportedly, Irish and Jewish) neighborhoods from a "New York City Immigrant Enclaves" map.

A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification.

For generations, the American supermarket symbolized abundance. Endless aisles filled with fresh produce, dairy, meat, and household essentials reflected not only the country's productive capacity but also the confidence that ordinary families could afford to fill their shopping carts without questioning every purchase. Today, that image is beginning to fracture.

Curiously - perhaps not - the war has resumed but only two parties appear involved, Iran and the United States. Israel is quiet, which is curious since the war began because Israel started it (Trump has publicly acknowledged this). Now it appears the war does not involve Israel at all.

Fascinating, as Mr. Spock says.

The truth, of course, is that this war between Iran and the United States is an example of let's you and him fight - on behalf of Israel.

Writes Bill Madden:

Video below discussing our 1953 Iranian regime change.

I tend to bludgeon this point to offset the MSM brainwashing which establishes the beginning of the Iranian hatred of the USA as 47 years ago when the Iranians took over the American Embassy. They have hated us for 73 years when the first Iranian regime change occurred. They captured the American Embassy after 25 years of rule by the pro-Western Shah because of our first regime change.

Writes Bill Madden:

Other than they are much too long, all of Tucker Carlson's videos are worth viewing. This one states Tucker's thoughts on the Peace President and the damage that President Trump has and is causing the country.

The courageous Dr. Jeffrey Sachs calls Trump "unhinged". I would call him "reckless".

I'm just finishing the book about his second term as president called: "Regime Change".

Trump affirme que la fin de la guerre en Iran permettra de freiner l'inflation, mais plusieurs questions restent en suspens, notamment celle de savoir quand la guerre prendra fin.

Mercredi, le président Donald Trump a balayé d'un revers de main un rapport fédéral indiquant que l'inflation aux États-Unis avait atteint son plus haut niveau depuis 2023, déclarant aux journalistes dans le Bureau ovale qu'il "adorait l'inflation."

The Economist, le média britannique appartenant au clan des banquiers Rothschild, pousse depuis longtemps à la guerre contre la Russie.

Ce journal est cependant embêté car la population de l'Europe (occidentale) n'a aucun intérêt ni envie de mourir pour ceux qui profitent de tels conflits.

Diverses enquêtes faites en Europe montrent que les gens n'ont aucun intérêt à "défendre leur pays", lorsqu'on leur propose que cette "défense" se passe au-delà du côté est du fleuve Dniepr.

L'administration du président Donald Trump a été accusée de mener une guerre contre l'Iran pour le compte d'Israël. Israël n'avait pas caché sa détermination à entraîner les États-Unis dans une telle confrontation, après avoir échoué à persuader les administrations américaines précédentes de le faire.

Depuis lors, les pays de la région subissent les conséquences des répercussions de la guerre et des décisions de Trump à cet égard, que ce soit au niveau de leurs relations régionales, du contexte général de sécurité régionale, voire de la sécurité intérieure et de la stabilité de certains États.

Le président Trump est intervenu à la télévision à une heure de grande écoute pour déclarer à la nation que la Chine avait truqué les élections de 2020.

Selon le président, la Maison Blanche a examiné des documents qui montreraient que « dès le début du cycle électoral de 2020, la République populaire de Chine a mené ce qui serait la plus grande opération de piratage de données électorales de l'histoire ».

L'un des principaux mouvements nationalistes en Égypte dans les années 1920 et 1930 fut le très populaire Parti Wafd, qui avait été fondé après la Première Guerre mondiale. Le dirigeant du groupe - Saad Zaghloul (portrait) - participa à la Révolution égyptienne de 1919 qui a abouti à l'arrestation de Zaghloul et à sa déportation sur l'île de Malte.

Beaucoup se souviennent de la célèbre réplique dans Astérix et Obélix: "Ils sont fous, ces Romains". Les Gaulois de Goscinny et Uderzo observaient les légionnaires romains accomplir des choses contraires au bon sens. Non pas parce qu'ils étaient stupides, mais parce qu'ils devaient obéir aux ordres venus de Rome. On ne leur demandait pas de réfléchir, mais d'obéir.
