In this interview by Nima of John Helmer on Dialogue Works, Helmer presents much detailed information that probably tasks the understanding of most Americans. Nevertheless, he makes two very important points and one is that it is not yet known whether the drone attack was an attack on Putin's residence or whether it was an attack on a bunker that is part of the Russian nuclear war control system.

Even when you begin to think that it can't get any worse with Donald J. Trump as President of the United States the Orangeman does something that is so stupid and so reflective of a man who thinks only about himself that it makes one's shudder in disbelief. Last week included some completely bizarre performances that could lead to nuclear war while also falsely promoting that our leader is a "man of peace." That is in spite of the fact that it has become hard to imagine that Trump can even pronounce the word "peace" without an interpreter or the five letter word flashing up in boldface on his teleprompter screen.

It's been 13 months since voters reelected Donald Trump. To say they voted for change is an understatement.
Americans wanted, first and foremost, to preserve their country. The United States was on a path to full-blown collapse. The previous administration's open-borders policies alone put in motion a litany of destructive changes that would've destroyed the country if they had continued for another four years.

That was the denouement in the noire movie classic "Keeper of the Flame", which film is described this way at Amazon:
It's no surprise that Keeper of the Flame came out in 1942, the same year as Casablanca. In this would-be film noir, the problems of two little people again don't amount to a hill of beans when it comes to fighting fascism in other countries-not to mention the United States.

New evidence reveals how America's pro-Israel establishment disciplines defiance - and why one man's ideological independence became a national threat.

Newly obtained group messages, and a posthumous admission from a close ally, show that in the 48 hours before he died Charlie Kirk was openly severing the ties that had for years tethered him to the pro-Israel donor class.

End-of-year wrap-ups take three forms: autopsy, obituary, or eulogy. If the year is particularly bad, it is dissected like a corpse and forgotten in a morgue freezer. If it had its moments, a few biographical flourishes are relived. And, occasionally, a year is filled with enough memorable events to deserve a grand send-off.

Several readers responded to my post yesterday (Maui County's Bungling Revolutionaries) by urging me to endorse the theory that Lahaina was set ablaze and the fire intensified and maintained by the use of Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) such as the following:

Encore plus de Donald Trump.
Même quand on estime que la situation ne peut pas être pire avec Trump à Washington, l'homme orange trouve toujours le moyen de nous bluffer, se surpassant en stupidité et en égocentrisme. La semaine dernière a été émaillée de comportements particulièrement déroutants aux conséquences potentiellement apocalyptiques, alors que notre guide suprême prétend, à tort, être un "homme de paix".

Tout cela sous le prétexte de «rechercher la paix» dans une guerre par procuration que les États-Unis ont eux-mêmes orchestrée et qui, à toutes fins utiles, les oppose à la Russie par l'intermédiaire de leurs mandataires ukrainiens.
Les États-Unis continuent de préparer le terrain pour une escalade plus large et plus dangereuse, tant en termes d'extension d'un blocus maritime mondial émergent contre le transport maritime russe, iranien et même chinois, qu'en termes de préparation de l'Europe à s'engager dans la guerre par procuration de Washington alors que la capacité de combat de l'Ukraine s'effondre.

"C'est vraiment l'honneur et le privilège d'une vie", a déclaré le nouveau maire.
Le socialiste démocrate Zohran Mamdani a prêté serment jeudi matin en tant que maire de New York dans une station de métro abandonnée, scellant ainsi l'ascension au pouvoir d'un ancien membre de l'Assemblée de l'État dont les priorités en matière d'accessibilité financière, la volonté de lutter contre la corruption de l'establishment et la maîtrise des réseaux sociaux ont inspiré l'électorat, y compris de nombreux anciens abstentionnistes.

You're likely aware that I'm a libertarian. But I'm actually more than a libertarian. I don't believe in the right of the State to exist. The reason is that anything that has a monopoly of force is extremely dangerous. As Mao Tse-tung, lately one of the world's leading experts on government, said: "The power of the state comes out of a barrel of a gun."
From Eshkol's headline to JFK's rupture to Charlie Kirk's final message, the same architecture appears: financial pressure, narrative warfare, and intelligence tools now normalized in America.

At times I have expressed doubts whether Americans have enough sense to continue to survive as a people, and they keep proving my doubts justified. The London Daily Mail reported yesterday that San Francisco voters elected a mayor who has just sneaked through a reparations bill that gives each black resident of San Francisco $5 million to "compensate the affected population for the decades of harms that they have experienced."

I've been writing about the inherent fraud behind third-world immigration for many years now, including the rarely addressed issue of remittances flowing from migrants in the US back to their countries of origin. Third worlders tend to act like a nest of vampires, bleeding the US and giving indirect sustenance to their failing home economies. This process is heavily enabled by foreign governments that rely on this river of dollars to stay afloat.

On Tuesday, President Trump denounced the New York Times in a Truth Social post as a "serious threat to the National Security of our Nation" and a "TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE" for publishing an article detailing Trump's close personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. "Chasing women was a game of ego and dominance. Female bodies were currency," the Times reported.

Some years chip away at freedom. Others tear the mask off.
2025 was the year the government stopped pretending it was constrained by the Constitution-when executive power expanded openly and unapologetically, surveillance became ambient, dissent became dangerous, and the machinery of militarized government embedded itself into daily life.

Keith Kellogg, envoyé spécial pour l'Ukraine
Donald Trump a critiqué son envoyé pour l'Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, après que celui-ci a déclaré qu'il défendait Kiev contre les «isolationnistes» au sein de l'administration. En qualifiant Zelensky de leader courageux lors de la conférence de Munich, Kellogg a provoqué la colère de Trump, qui l'a ensuite qualifié d'«idiot» devant ses conseillers.
