We are silent when we see that all the money of all the nations has come into the hands of a few men; which we seem to tolerate and to permit with the more equanimity, because none of these robbers conceals what he is doing; none of them take the least trouble to keep their covetousness in any obscurity.

The Paxton campaign left its fingerprints all over the Ohio clinic hoax. They're pure evil, true enough, but they're also hopelessly incompetent.

It is remarkable how on cue, suddenly most of the Rupert Murdoch TV talking heads turn into relay stations for Radio Moscow.

Putin's press spokesman Dmitri Peskov says that the Kremlin has "nothing to say" about the ceasefire agreement concerning energy that Trump hallucinated over the weekend.

So the Talarico mental health clinic hoax has now been tired directly to a disinformation campaign of the Russian intelligence services. How shocking.

James Talarico was absent from the campaign trail for five days due to a bout of the flu. For Elon Musk's Twitter, this was two weeks. Because Elon is capable of manipulating time and space at his whim and there are plenty of Twitter subscribers stupid enough to believe him.

Pretty clear that the FP reviewer didn't see the docu Musk (which has nothing to do with woke thought, but does cover, in great detail, Musk's monstrous freakout when one of his offspring sought gender-affirming care), and that Bari Weiss urgently wants you not to see it because it upsets Elon.

83 years ago today, Willi Graf, a member of the White Rose and a student at LMU, was murdered by the Nazis after 8 months in custody. During his imprisonment, he remained silent despite relentless interrogations and torture by the Gestapo. In doing so, he saved the lives of many who battled Hitler.

For both Elon Musk and Donald Trump, blocking all efforts to rein in malicious Russian bots on the internet was a high priority from the start. We should ask why.

Trump's hand can be seen supporting Trump and his agenda all around the world. This is no coincidence. And the diesel deal has really nothing to do with it.

Instead of an energy ceasefire, Putin has launched a massive campaign across Ukraine targeting six different energy sites. This is known in international law as perfidy, and it's a signature Putin move. In this case enabled by Trump.

Try not to set too much store by politicians—not so much because they are dumb or dishonest, which is more often than not the case, but because of the size of their job, which is too big even for the best among them, by this or that political party, doctrine, system or a blueprint thereof. All they or those can do, at best, is to diminish a social evil, not eradicate it. No matter how substantial an improvement may be, ethically speaking it will always be negligible, because
there will always be those—say, just one person—who won’t profit from this improvement. The world is not perfect; the Golden Age never was or will be. The only thing that’s going to happen to the world is that it will get bigger, i.e., more populated while not growing in size. No matter how fairly the man you’ve elected will promise to cut the pie, it won’t grow in size; as a matter of fact, the portions are bound to get smaller.

So it looks like Rupert Murdoch's NY Post and Elon Musk were both deeply implicated in this hoax. Which is great news for the libel action to follow.

Flynn and his brother were last spotted in the Republic Srbska working with Russian surrogates. He was also spotted seated next to Vladimir Putin at a festive dinner in Moscow, which he attended without clearing security protocols. He's in the tank.

US families are falling behind on debt payments. The percentage of families reporting overdue loan payments surged to 19.6% in 2025, the highest since 2010, according to the Fed data. This marks a sharp increase from 12.2% recorded in 2022.
