Vendredi dernier, le président américain Donald Trump a annoncé un accord concernant l'exportation de diesel russe. Les paiements relatifs aux produits pétroliers russes faisaient jusqu'alors l'objet de sanctions américaines. Peu après l'annonce de Trump, le Trésor a levé ces restrictions. L'arrivée de diesel russe aux États-Unis et sur les marchés mondiaux entraînerait une baisse des prix à la pompe aux États-Unis.

Grâce à un accord historique, l'Amérique a une fois de plus dû ravaler sa fierté, une situation qui semble être devenue la nouvelle norme pour Washington.
À l'ère du multilatéralisme, les États ne peuvent plus agir à leur guise, car d'autres acteurs ont émergé en tant que centres de pouvoir et d'influence tout aussi puissants.

A company should not disclose a risk of catastrophe to humanity and then sell its shares to the public before any public authority has the power to evaluate that risk or to stop deployment.
Anthropic, the maker of the Claude AI models, is preparing what could be the largest initial public offering in history, raising more than $100 billion, according to The New York Times, at a valuation near $2 trillion.

Alexander Dugin thinks that if the Republicans lose control of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections, the Democrats will renew their attempt to prosecute Trump as a criminal and members of his administration as well. This is a real possibility.
We witnessed the Democrats during Trump's term and during Biden's four years use lawfare against Trump.

Last Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal about the export of Russian diesel. Payments for Russian oil products had previously been under U.S. sanctions. Soon after Trump's announcement the Treasury lifted those restrictions. Russian diesel to the U.S. and to global markets would lead to a decrease in prices at U.S. pumps.
Trump also announced an 'energy ceasefire' in Ukraine.

"And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance ? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two ? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time

I have always had an ambivalent relationship with "conservatives," because I could never divine their principles. They want to "conserve"... what, exactly ? Their congressional majority ? Why ? What for ? How does that benefit me ? Conservatives are cautious about change - the disease of tired/mentally ossified old people. Many of them mean well but are ready meat for the Left, which does have a principle - which is to win and hold onto power by any means necessary.

Lors d'un meeting en Arizona, le 14 octobre, le président américain Donald Trump s'en est pris aux responsables de fuites, qui, à ses yeux, méritent la prison, voire la mort. Il affirme que CNN et le New York Times ont révélé l'heure de départ de l'opération américaine contre l'Iran, ce qui l'aurait contra

"It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."
-Voltaire (1694-1778)
A government that claims the authority to kill persons after they have been subdued, disarmed, tried, convicted and confined in prison has made a startling claim about the nature of political power. It claims not merely the authority to protect the innocent from violence, but the authority to inflict violence when no immediate threat exists.

The young do not think about getting old, and this is to the greatest benefit of governments which spend and inflate younger generations out of any future subsidies they might one day come to rely on. For most people in Gen Z, though, there is at least a tacit acknowledgment that they are paying into a system that might not be there for them when they retire.

The war in the Middle East has been essentially put on pause until the midterm elections in the United States are over, but once we get to that point Iran is expecting the fighting to go to an entirely new level. So Iran is using this temporary lull in the action to get fully prepared. Ground forces are being trained, defenses are being strengthened, new missiles are being produced, and rallies are being held to bolster public support for the coming conflict.

This is a fact-based history lesson. The lesson is about black slaveowners. Larry Koger's book, Black Slaveowners, is well documented. Koger provides 34 pages of documentation listing the names of black slave owners and the number of slaves they owned in South Carolina and 38 pages of historical notes. Most free blacks only owned a few slaves, but some blacks themselves had plantations and had as many as 30 or 40 slaves.

Human despair is being manufactured and monetized by corrupt health care organizations, in ways that defy belief.
Health care companies, working with the neo-Marxists in Western blue states, are using local and state-level policies, and numberless NGOs, to produce ever more drug addiction, alcoholism, mental illness diagnoses, and homelessness.

Les États-Unis mettent en œuvre leur stratégie pour l'Arctique avec succès, en collaboration avec les pays d'Europe du Nord. La récente "annexion de fait" du Groenland, à la suite d'un accord signé avec le Danemark, a placé les États-Unis dans une position géopolitique stratégique, leur accordant un accès plus large et privilégié à des zones de l'Arctique d'une importance capitale, tant sur le plan militaire qu'économique.
Brèves de crise
Les quelques jours qui se succèdent dans cette phase à la fois "hystérique" (mot employé à Moscou) et grotesque qui ont suivi le prétendu-accord Poutine-Trump sur la vente de fuel-diesel russe aux USA (d'ailleurs dans des volumes dérisoires malgré l'importance des chiffres, par rapport à la consommation US qui est de 600 000 tonnes par jour), - ces quelques jours témoignent surtout du désordre extraordinaire régnant dans l'Occident-compulsif dans lequel il faut placer l'Ukraine-Zelenski.

Satire, however over-the-top, never quite measures up to reality.
A thought experiment
Imagine that Giorgia Meloni, as Prime Minister, launches an app for newborns through which the government credits 1,000 euros to each child. She does so in an official capacity, via a government website and under a specific name: "Conto Giorgia." Suppose the campaign promises parents that this capital will grow based on the historical performance of the FTSE MIB - the former MIB30 - provided they invest it on the stock market.

À l'automne 2026, alors que les feuilles commencent à tomber dans les jardins et que les couloirs du Capitole résonnent du bourdonnement nerveux des primaires et des sondages, Washington respire une tension qui n'a rien de nouveau.

Texas Republicans recently became embroiled in a dispute between two factions that we could call, for purposes of exposition, the "Heritage Texans" and the "Creedal Texans."
Heritage Republicans believe that a nation is constituted by a specific and identifiable people who are historically rooted in a place over time, while Creedal Republicans believe in a concept they call "the idea of Texas." Their idea of Texas involves hard work, love of football, and the savoir-faire to say, "Hook 'em Horns." To the Creedals, anyone from anywhere in the world who embraces this idea is as much a Texan as anyone whose ancestors rode with the Texas cavalry in 1861.
