Trump (for the 2nd time) announced a Russia/Ukraine energy truce that neither party ever heard about. Despite that and his sell out to buy Russian diesel, Crude Oil is higher tonight. Nobody believes Biff.

Another bad report for Kim Guilfoyle: According to an audio recording reviewed by WSJ, Guilfoyle boasted at Davos about her close ties to two Greek tycoons and said they were bankrolling her high-rolling trips around the world.

I’m sick of this tired talking point from Trump and now Darline Graham… “China has already said they want to be the global leader… If we don’t build data centers for 2 years… we are going to be in trouble.” 📌 The US already has 4,978 more data centers than China.

The United States is the world's largest exporter of diesel. There is no shortage of diesel in The US since Trump continues to allow its export. There is only the global price/market place. Trump buying Russian diesel does not increase supply and it will not make anything cheaper for anyone.

As best as I can tell, RFK Jr.'s latest antivax stunt runs counter to the WMA Declaration of Helsinki. Withholding HepB vaccination clearly does not meet any definition of clinical equipoise. Doing it anyway, overseas, is straight up colonialist medicine.
Use of Placebo

    The benefits, risks, burdens, and effectiveness of a new intervention must be tested against those of the best proven intervention(s), except in the following circumstances:

    If no proven intervention exists, the use of placebo, or no intervention, is acceptable; or
    If for compelling and scientifically sound methodological reasons the use of any intervention other than the best proven one(s), the use of placebo, or no intervention is necessary to determine the efficacy or safety of an intervention; and the participants who receive any intervention other than the best proven one(s), placebo, or no intervention will not be subject to additional risks of serious or irreversible harm as a result of not receiving the best proven intervention.

Extreme care must be taken to avoid abuse of this option.
