something we have very little of is wisdom, here in the empire;

 charlie kirk was killed by the israeli's using the same tech they used in their pager attack, using the mic on his shirt collar;

 

 If you disagree, the truth is simple to find. Shoot a watermelon with a 30 caliber round from 100 yards. Discussion is over.............more............

 we inhabit a world in which up is down and left is right, and there is no measurable truth coming from those who claim to represent us. the great deception is the fraud that western democracies are, so constituted;

 

 There is absolutely nothing democratic within the political schemes of the communists, leftists and Nazis’.  Just as Ukraine is led by an unelected authoritarian under the guise of the ‘new democratic norms’; just as Kamala Harris was installed as a presidential nominee under those same anti-democracy norms; so too is U.K Prime Minister Andy Burnham now installed without any election by the British citizens.

The unelected monarch, King Charles, appoints the unelected Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, and the first pledge of the unelected leader is a promise to make life better for the people who are denied a voice in his agenda.

THE BACKGROUND – Former communist Prime Minister Kier Starmer was facing a massive amount of opposition, his policies and party platform had collapsed, and the people of Britain were revolting against him.

Starmer’s Labour party lost more than 1,400 seats in the country’s local elections, and the non-communist, nationalistic Reform Party was winning.  Something urgent was needed...........more.......

 how many of you really trust 'our' government. i haven't at all for a very long time. here's a bit of 'evidence' on the subject;

 

Here’s part of the bigger problem.

When wrongdoing, fraud, corruption, or criminal activity occurs within a federal agency, including the Intelligence Community, the FBI is the institution tasked with investigating it.

That’s the problem.

People ask repeatedly, why has there been no accountability for the obvious corruption?

Perhaps we really don’t want to accept the obvious answer.

The FBI is doing corrupt, criminal and fraudulent stuff because the institution of the FBI is comprehensively corrupt. As a consequence, they are allied -directly or through willful blindness- with operatives in other agencies doing criminal, corrupt and fraudulent stuff.

Think about “security clearances.” Which agency or institution determines the outcomes of Security Clearance reviews or investigations? Who is responsible for approving or denying security clearances? The same FBI.

The same FBI agency who took possession of Hillary Clinton’s missing emails, Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner’s laptop and Hunter Biden’s laptop. The same FBI agency who took custody of Jeffrey Epstein’s safe contents. The same FBI agency who raided James O’Keefe to retrieve the Ashley Biden diary. That’s the same FBI agency now with custody of the Fulton County election evidence..........more..........

 mr peters doesn't think much of 'our' amazing president bigly and i agree, especially after starting this war; 

Curiously – perhaps not –  the war has resumed but only two parties appear involved, Iran and the United States. Israel is quiet, which is curious since the war began because Israel started it (Trump has publicly acknowledged this). Now it appears the war does not involve Israel at all.

Fascinating, as Mr. Spock says.

The truth, of course, is that this war between Iran and the United States is an example of let’s you and him fight – on behalf of Israel. To serve the interests of Israel is perhaps a more accurate way to put it. Does anyone ask why we are at war with Iran? This far-away country that didn’t attack us before we (along with Israel) attacked it? What’s that all about? America – more finely, Americans (as opposed to the interests that control America) – derive no benefit from being at war with Iran. But Israel does. It serves Israel’s interests to hammer the Iranians. Well, why is America hammering Iran for the sake of Israel? We are not supposed to ask such questions. It is “anti-Semitic” to ask such questions.

Oy vey, as they say...........more............

 karen kwaitkowski has little faith in 'our president' but, really, who does at this point, especially after his thursday night speech; 

 

The US President recently wasted a half hour of national airtime struggling through his complaints about the voting system that delivers our Senators, Congressmen, governors and mayors. He might have spoken of his efforts to create a peaceful off-ramp for Washington’s Middle East obsession, including his widely unpopular advocacy for Israel’s genocidaires and warmongers.  Instead he introduced another war at home, against the states, and in particular their Constitutional role to manage state elections, and for that matter, to name their substitute Senators and to allocate their presidential electors.

Some viewers may have put off by Trump’s direct lies regarding the health of the US economy; others by his pointed disregard for the cost of and damage done by his repeated illegal wars on Iran, extended proxy war in Ukraine, regime changes, and attempted regime changes via electoral manipulation.  The Macro Butler summed it up perfectly, as he always does,...........more............

 larry johnson believes the orange man started a war before checking to see how many bullets he has; 

 

I have talked about the depletion of several categories of US battlefield missiles on recent podcasts and decided to give you the best available data to help you grasp the enormity of the problem. The tables below are based on the most recent publicly available analyses from CSIS, the Payne Institute, and major media outlets (as of mid-2026), and provide a current (overly optimistic in my opinon) estimate for US inventory levels of these key weapons systems. Please note that actual inventories are classified; these are informed estimates derived from DOD budget documents, procurement records, and reported expenditures during Operation Epic Fury (the US-Israeli war with Iran).
