I didn't think there was anyone in Trump's orbit that was dumber than Noem, for the exception of Boepert. But Trump seems to know just where to find them.

The Middle East conflict is stress testing global energy. Bloomberg sees oil at $108 in a severe escalation. We have seen this before. The difference now is that solar and batteries are more cost competitive. Every fossil fuel spike strengthens the case for renewables on energy security alone.

The first meeting of Donald Trump's “Board of Peace” showcased the dystopian future the U.S. envisions for Palestinians. But even those plans might soon be eclipsed by Israel's renewed full-scale genocide in Gaza.

I'm beyond the Plausible Deniability line. A very distressed Ellen Degeneres just apologised publicly in one of those classically obfuscative narrations stars are famous for, and tried to win hearts with her sense of 'equality'...but added that "People got away with murder". Her exact words.
