Keith Kellogg, envoyé spécial pour l'Ukraine
Donald Trump a critiqué son envoyé pour l'Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, après que celui-ci a déclaré qu'il défendait Kiev contre les «isolationnistes» au sein de l'administration. En qualifiant Zelensky de leader courageux lors de la conférence de Munich, Kellogg a provoqué la colère de Trump, qui l'a ensuite qualifié d'«idiot» devant ses conseillers.

The idea of constitutionalism is that of limited government under the rule of law. The whole point of agreeing on the basic rules by which the country is to be governed is to constrain the tendency of bureaucrats, and all those vested with executive power, to become despots and turn on their own citizens. In theory, the Constitution should safeguard individual liberty by giving citizens a bulwark against state tyranny.

On December 5, 1933, after 14 years of violence, civil disorder, and loss of respect for law and order, our ancestors wisely ratified the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, repealing attempted Alcohol Prohibition, and thus indelibly marking that classic fail.
Note for later contemplation: Beginning in 1920, the attempted prohibition had likewise been put into effect Constitutionally by ratifying the 18th Amendment.

Gary Heavin and Mike Adams discuss MAGA Divided between Israel First and America First.
It is distressing, but true, that Israel not only controls America's media and publishing, entertainment, financial sector, Middle East foreign policy, but also the Republican House and Senate, the Republican Party, Republican governors, President Trump, and half of MAGA America.

Note: Many thanks to Peter Secosh for much of this information. He has helped me immensely with his incomparable research skills.
Our Congress, which is noted for honestly representing the interests of the general, unwashed, riffraff public, has forced the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. You know, the ones that Donald Trump called a "Democrat hoax." The ones that Kash Patel and Pam Bondi said didn't exist.

In September 2023, I posted an essay on this newsletter in which I presented evidence that the August 8, 2023 Lahaina, Maui fire was a Predictable & Predicted Disaster. That the lovely, historic town was in grave danger of being incinerated by wildfire was obvious to everyone who noted that a similar fire almost incinerated the town on August 24, 2018.

In the eighties, I had a friend who worked for me on and off. He was a competent handyman and could do an oil change without screwing it up, something that was always useful in an auto shop, which I ran. Eventually, however, he got a better paying job as a drywaller.
Anyone who has ever done a home project with even a small drywall repair knows how difficult it is not to have even a small repair stick out like a sore thumb.
Les meurtres extrajudiciaires perpétrés par l'administration Trump dans les Caraïbes s'inscrivent dans le prolongement d'une dangereuse prise de pouvoir initiée par Dick Cheney et amplifiée sous Barack Obama.

Il y a plus de dix ans, j'ai posé une question qui semblait tout droit sortie d'un épisode de Black Mirror : qui ne peut pas être inscrit sur la liste des assassinats extrajudiciaires d'un président ?

Si vous écoutez les déclarations du président américain et que vous les prenez pour argent comptant, vous aurez l'impression que beaucoup de grandes choses sont accomplies. Mais il suffit de creuser un peu pour découvrir que ces grands projets ne sont que pure fiction. Et si vous cherchez vraiment un domaine dans lequel les États-Unis sont encore les meilleurs au monde, vous ne trouverez que ceci : la suspension de l'incrédulité.

Réfléchissez avant de parler
C'est la saison où tout le monde est déconcerté. Vous voyez maintenant ce que c'est quand toute autorité est suspecte et que personne ne peut croire quoi que ce soit. La question, bien sûr, est de savoir dans quelle mesure cela est orchestré par des parties intéressées et qui sont ces parties ?

• L'ambassadeur américain auprès de l'OTAN a déclaré qu'il restait 90 jours. C'est également le délai politique imparti à Trump pour présenter sa politique aux républicains : la paix selon les conditions de Poutine ou la guerre selon les conditions de Zelensky. Trump n'a pas son mot à dire. Il doit simplement prendre une décision.

President Trump recently signed an executive order changing marijuana's Controlled Substances Act classification from Schedule I to Schedule III. Schedule I is supposed to include especially dangerous drugs that are likely to be abused and have no medical purpose. Whatever one thinks of the wisdom and morality of using marijuana, the fact is it is less addictive, and quite possibly safer, than alcohol.

Human life began with people scratching the world they lived in for food and shelter. They traveled as nomads, then after someone invented the rudiments of agriculture they settled down. As producers they were subject to raids from bands who confiscated their produce. Eventually the invaders figured they could make their thieving lives easier by settling among the victims and serving as their protectors - in exchange for life support.

The New York Times Sunday top-right front page lead story on 28 December 2025 - headlined "For DOGE, Big Disruption Returned Meager Savings, had been posted online on December 23rd under the headline "How Did DOGE Disrupt So Much While Saving So Little ? The group's biggest claims were largely incorrect, a New York Times analysis found. And its many smaller cuts added up to few savings."

She isn't the first to admit - after the fact - that taking NATO off the table to avoid Russian invasion was considered, and dismissed
When it comes to the Ukraine war, there have long been two realities. One is propagated by former Biden administration officials in speeches and media interviews, in which Russian President Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion had nothing to do with NATO's U.S.-led expansion into the now shattered country, there was nothing that could have been done to prevent what was an inevitable imperialist land-grab, and that negotiations once the war started to try to end the killing were not only impossible, but morally wrong.

It seems that this pedophile network at the apex of Western power has indeed produced so much smoke that even the QAnon lunatics managed to pinpoint the exact location of the bonfire.
At the end of Trump's first term, Western media were in an uproar denouncing the latest far-right conspiracy theory, QAnon. A certain Anonymous Q, abbreviated as QAnon, had revealed that the world is controlled by a network of satanist pedophiles who promote international child trafficking.

Many libertarians hope that Donald Trump would favor many free market policies. The claim by these libertarians was that, aside from obvious exceptions like eminent domain and tariffs, he was basically sympathetic to the free market. Unfortunately, these hopes have not been fulfilled, and in this week's article, I'll try to show this. Before going ahead, though, I'd like to avert a possible misunderstanding.

Dear freedom fighter, trying to make sense of the world, and to beat back evil,
I do not just want you to watch more Candace Owens, but I want you to go back to September 10, 2025, and to watch all of her broadcasts from that point forward.
Candace Owens is not a saint who should be imitated in every thought. That is not why I recommend watching her. I want you to watch her because of her thought process and her methodology.

As we enter 2026, the ever-widening war is further widening. Russian foreign minister Lavrov accuses the European Union of escalating the conflict and preparing for war with Russia. As a fifth year of conflict begins, Russian president Putin's limited military operation is expanding into a general conflict between Europe and Russia. The EU has raised apparently from loans from banks approximately $100 billion to enable Ukraine to continue the conflict while Europe builds up it's military capability to directly enter the war with Russia.
