Last Wednesday all the signs were pointing to a desperate action by the Trump administration to launch a ground operation inside Iran ostensibly to seize enriched nuclear material from an Iranian nuclear research facility.

The report from the Wall Street Journal noted that US special ops forces were once again being deployed to the region to carry out a raid on a Hardened Deeply Buried Target (aka HDBT).

The question ahead of the latest summit with Netanyahu on Tuesday is what the U.S. president will lose - either a war, on the one hand, or on the other, the global economy and the American electorate.

I was talking to an investor friend the other day, asking whether I should get into one of these price-lock arrangements with the people who supply our heating oil.

In his excellent book, As We Go Marching, the great conservative observer John T. Flynn analyzed the "good fascism" of Franklyn Roosevelt's New Deal, comparing and contrasting it with the "bad fascism" of Hitler and Mussolini:

"The test of fascism is not one's rage against the Italian and German war lords. The test is - how many of the essential principles of fascism do you accept and to what extent are you prepared to apply those fascist ideas to American social and economic life ? When you can put your finger on the men or the groups that urge for America the debt-supported state, the autarkical corporative state, the state bent on the socialization of investment and the bureaucratic government of industry and society, the establishment of the institution of militarism as the great glamorous public-works project of the nation and the institution of imperialism under which it proposes to regulate and rule the world and, along with this, proposes to alter the forms of our government to approach as closely as possible the unrestrained, absolute government - then you will know you have located the authentic fascist.

Americans are destroying Flock cameras in illegal acts of protest. As a headline from tech publication Gizmodo eloquently phrased it, "Flock cameras have a people-love-smashing-them problem."

Resistance to the Flock surveillance camera system has been building up since last year. In Suffolk, Virginia, 13 cameras were destroyed from April to October of 2025.

America runs on electricity - but not equally. One state towers above the rest. Texas alone generates a staggering 13.44% of the nation's total electricity, more than any other state by a wide margin. This infographic ranks all 50 states by their share of U.S. power generation, revealing who fuels the grid, who barely registers, and just how domi

Maintenant que la grande fête du 250e anniversaire des États-Unis est terminée - les discours, les avions de combat vrombissants, les feux d'artifice éblouissants, les discours et le gâteau aux fraises -, il n'y a qu'une seule issue possible.

Five months ago this Tuesday, President Donald Trump and his Israeli partners launched their sudden, devastating surprise attack against Iran.

Within the first few minutes, most of Iran's top political and military leadership had been killed in the waves of missile strikes that constituted our official declaration of war.

At the time, few observers believed that Iran could survive that massive onslaught.

Public confidence collapsed not because Americans asked too many questions, but because too many went unanswered.

Science has never required blind faith.

Quite the opposite.

Science advances by asking difficult questions, testing uncomfortable hypotheses, challenging accepted wisdom, and enabling independent investigators to examine the evidence.

I am grateful for all of my readers, and I greatly welcome ALL reader comments, including highly critical comments. I do not take critical comments personally, but regard them as an opportunity for introspection and possibly to clarify something or provide additional information to help make my point.

Reviewing the comments to my post of earlier today, Are You Ready for the Coming Energy Shock?, I see that many of my readers are unhappy with my characterization of the Trump administration as psychopathic clowns.

One of the most revealing investigations this week did not come from Washington. It came from Forbes, which uncovered how an Israeli surveillance company is quietly marketing intelligence-grade technology directly to American police departments. The story is not about another patrol vehicle or upgraded communications equipment. It is about bringing tools originally developed for intelligence and national security operations onto the streets of the United States.

Les États-Unis ont annoncé leur intention de démanteler la Cour pénale internationale, et les journalistes libéraux qui, pendant des années, n'ont cessé de crier au scandale quant à la menace que représentait Donald Trump pour la démocratie n'ont absolument rien trouvé à dire.

Ni le New York Times ni le Washington Post (qui tient une rubrique intitulée "La démocratie en Amérique" pour rendre compte de la manière dont l'administration Trump s'en prend aux institutions juridiques américaines) n'ont publié le moindre éditorial ou article d'opinion s'opposant aux tentatives de démanteler "brique par brique", selon les termes de Marco Rubio, la plus haute autorité juridique de la planète, la Cour Pénale Internationale.

Une milice en sandales vient de mettre échec et mat la marine la plus chère de l'histoire, et Washington continue de croire qu'il est en train de gagner.

Les Houthis viennent de réduire en cendres deux pétroliers saoudiens comme un flux pyroclastique, un quart du pétrole mondial est pris en otage dans deux détroits, et le plus gros connard qui ait jamais foiré l'opération militaire la plus dangereuse au monde vient d'ouvrir les portes de l'enfer de ses deux petites mains couleur argile.

Jordan Peterson reminds us of the euphemisms such as "grooming" that white liberals use to avoid reality. What is really going on is black domination over white people via sexual conquest in order to prove the cultural depravity of the white society that is too indoctrinated against itself to be able to protect its women and children.

Speaking of the 250,000 raped ethnic British girls covered up for 30 years by white governments paralyzed from acting by belief in their white racism, Peterson points out that the rapes were not for sexual pleasure of the rapists, but were hate crimes racially and religiously motivated to destroy British cultural norms, while white authorities anxious to protect "community relations" and fearful of being called racist for prosecuting a black refused to act.

Apparently, Donald Trump's promises to halt American financial support for Ukraine have not been accepted by the country's lawmakers, who insist on approving assistance measures for the Kiev fascist regime.

According to information recently revealed by a US senator, Washington is ready to release a new financial support package for Kiev, awaiting only final approval from Trump, who has yet to make a decision on the matter.

It seems that we are paying super-woke people to denigrate our history and culture, and because of the way in which the governance of this important institution is set up, there's little power for the White House to quickly change it.

After 13 days of bombing Iran, on Friday we took a break. If we were dealing with rational opponents, the war in Iran would be over now, but we are dealing with fanatics and a situation where the monsters are fighting each other, and no one seems sufficiently in charge to enter into a meaningful surrender.

Congress just drafted a bill that allows the federal government to order the shutdown of AI models "that can cause catastrophic harm." Representatives Nathaniel Moran (R-Texas) and Ted W. Lieu (D-CA.) introduced on Thursday the AI Kill Switch Act. The bill would force "developers of the most powerful AI systems to maintain the technical capability to throttle, suspend, or shut them down," according to a summary from Lieu's office.

Lors de son discours sur l'état de l'Union prononcé jeudi 16 juillet, le président américain Donald Trump a affirmé que des documents déclassifiés de la CIA (Agence centrale de renseignement) apportaient la preuve d'une prétendue fraude électorale par voie électronique au Venezuela sous les gouvernements d'Hugo Chávez et de Nicolás Maduro. Or, ces documents, déclassifiés par la Maison Blanche, contredisent cette accusation.

Depuis sa nomination au poste de secrétaire d'État le 21 janvier 2025, Marco Rubio a eu deux obsessions : en finir avec le communisme à Cuba et succéder à Donald Trump dans le fauteuil du bureau ovale. Avec de tels objectifs, Rubio − qui, en mai suivant, parviendrait également à cumuler les fonctions de conseiller à la Sécurité nationale de la Maison-Blanche et d'administrateur de l'Agence des États-Unis pour le développement international − a conçu une stratégie qu'il a mise en œuvre à la lettre.
