Les États-Unis se trouvent à un tournant où deux choix s'offrent à eux. Ils peuvent soit opérer une transition pour passer du statut d'Hégémon mondial à celui d'un pays prospère et pacifique collaborant d'égal à égal avec toutes les autres nations, soit s'obstiner à rester un empire en faillite et violent cherchant à maintenir son contrôle sur toutes les autres nations.

Il devient chaque jour plus difficile de couvrir la guerre actuelle contre l'Iran. Les déclarations officielles et les lignes d'action des États-Unis changent d'heure en heure, sans aucune cohérence.
L'opération "Project Freedom", c'est-à-dire la protection américaine des navires quittant le golfe Persique, a été annoncée dimanche. Elle avait échoué dès lundi.

With President Trump's decision to dash the CIA's hope of keeping its JFK records secret forever, virtually all of the focus has been, naturally enough, on the various small pieces of evidence that further fill out the mosaic of the U.S. national-security regime-change operation that took place on November 22, 1963.
But there is something else to consider - what those long-secret records do not include - a critically important omission that points directly toward criminal culpability in the assassination itself.

Doctorow Describes the Rising Cost to Russians of Putin's Ever-Widening, Never-Ending War:
"As to whether Russia is actually winning the war, my position has changed substantially from where it stood just a few weeks ago. What has changed is the vast improvement in quality and numbers of Ukrainian drones striking key infrastructure deep inside the Russian Federation.

Yesterday President Trump abandoned his laughable "Project Freedom" just five hours after his two lieutenants, Warcrime Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, had been sent out to promote it:
The president had pulled the rug out from underneath his top team. Even his closest confidants could not understand why.
"So f--g embarrassing," a source close to the president said shortly after the announcement.

Le président Donald Trump a brusquement suspendu le "Project Freedom" - une opération militaire américaine chargée d'escorter des navires à travers le détroit d'Ormuz, bloqué par l'Iran - environ 36 heures après son lancement. Selon NBC News, ce revirement fait suite à de vives réactions de la part d'alliés clés du Golfe, en particulier de l'Arabie saoudite.
The US President needs authorization from Congress if he wants to resume military action in the Middle East.

Apparently, the irresponsible decision by US President Donald Trump to go to war against Iran is already having a strong domestic impact. American lawmakers are moving efforts to prevent Trump from preserving his "exceptional" powers regarding the current conflict in the Middle East.

The very first story on the Drudge Report on both April 23 and 24 was headlined with a quote from Bernard Arnault saying if the Iran war was not quickly settled, it could be a "world catastrophe."
I apparently do not keep up with world business as much as I should, because I did not know that Arnault is one the three richest men in the world along with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

Trump and Netanyahu are not the only politicians who have trapped themselves in a war to their electoral disadvantage. The two are joined at the hip not only in purpose but in stupidity. The two stooges overestimated their military prowess and underestimated Iran's. If Iran had kept to its vow and not agreed to a ceasefire at Israel and Washington's request, Iran's victory would be complete.
And why globalism seeks to destroy it.

Freedom exists in the absence of government control. We are free when we are able to worship, speak, write, make a living, and protect our families and property without fear that government agents will punish us for our actions. America's Founding Fathers embraced an expansive view of personal liberty that recognizes the inherent right of each person to do as he sees fit, so long as that person refrains from infringing upon the liberties of another.

Il faut rendre hommage à Sara Jacobs, la démocrate californienne et plus jeune membre de la délégation de la Chambre des représentants de l'État doré.
Elle présente un bilan de vote tout à fait honorable - du moins selon les normes du Capitole - en tant que membre du Comité des forces armées et du Comité des affaires étrangères, mais ce n'est pas la raison de cet hommage.

En cette fin de journée, nous sommes confrontés au paroxysme de la folie et de la confusion stratégiques.
Les menaces fusent de toutes parts, de Washington à Tel-Aviv en passant par Téhéran et Dubaï.

Les États-Unis sont désemparés face à l'Iran et n'ont d'autre choix que de gagner du temps. Dans cette situation, il faut se méfier des manœuvres américaines ! Et il est fort probable qu'elles soient déjà à l'œuvre.
Comme chacun sait, le détroit de Malacca est un carrefour mondial, un point de passage stratégique et, pour la Chine, une véritable voie maritime vitale.
Au cours d'une série de réunions en cellulle de crise, le président Trump a mis en balance son instinct avec les profondes inquiétudes de son vice-président, ainsi que l'évaluation pessimiste des services de renseignement. Voici les coulisses de la prise de cette décision fatidique.

April marks the time when the guns of war began to fall silent across the South in 1865, after four years of war. On April 9, General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia. General Nathan Bedford Forrest stood down his cavalry on May 9. By June 23, General Stand Watie had surrendered the last of the Confederate soldiers still fighting, the First Indian Brigade which included his own Cherokee Braves.

On Friday, Donald Trump was at it again. He posted on Truth Social a photoshopped picture of his face next to those of the four earlier presidents carved in stone on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. At least he was grinning, not displaying his usual snarl or sneer with his little fist raised defiantly in the air showing what a tough guy he is ! That stern presidential portrait will be on display on the first page of the new United States passports which will be issued by the Washington DC passport office in June to commemorate both the Sesquicentennial of the United States and the 80th birthday of our most glorious leader.

In a recent editorial exhorting President Trump to stay the course in Iran, the Wall Street Journal wrote, "Democrats in Congress are hoping for Mr. Trump's failure in Iran, as if that wouldn't also be America's."
For the life of me, I don't see how Trump's failure in Iran would also be America's failure in Iran. I wish the Journal had explained its reasoning.

Gas prices aren't quite yet as high as they were back in 2008 - which was just before GM went bankrupt and Ford nearly did, too. But what happens when they do get there?
Well, probably what happened back in '08 - again.
GM and Ford are more dependent now than they were back then on the on the profits earned via the sale of trucks and SUVs, especially the big ones.

Il movimento "No Kings" si è affacciato sulla scena politica lo scorso giugno organizzando manifestazioni di protesta in occasione del compleanno di Donald Trump e della parata militare per il 250° anniversario dell'esercito. Da quel momento le sue iniziative di lotta hanno visto la partecipazione di milioni di persone, non solo negli Stati Uniti ma più recentemente anche in diversi paesi occidentali.
