It is also kind of cute how they refuse to address the Iran-russia connection.

Like, how the russians have provided intel to the Iranians to help them attack American bases in the Middle East?
Or how the Iranian shaheen drones are used by Putin uses to blow up schools and hospitals in Ukraine.

If they really want to solve the problems in Iran they need to put the screws on Putin.
But of course they can’t. It seems pretty obvious he has something on both Trump and Witkoff.

From what I've read, it was Netanyahu who convinced trump to join in on Iran - he had lobbied for Obama and Biden to do the same, but they knew better.

As for the Melania thing... seems there could be a reason for that. Long story, but basically, a long-time acquaintance, Amanda Ungaro could be the key. Divorced by her husband, then the husband (long-time trump buddy) got her deported. Seems she's pissed and ready to spill the beans. LINK

Trump keeps saying Iran doesn’t have the cards, but they are literally holding a strait, while neither of Trump or Vance has a pair…

Lol on multiple levels

I don't know if this is planned, or just a happy benefit. Trump is letting the war in Ukraine drag out, while Russia is doing the boiled frog routine with their economy. Ukraine is playing it very smart. They know they can't recapture their own land without better tactics. And, destroying Russia's economy is a good one. Russia has spent most of their gold reserves, inflation is still sky high, and their oil industry is burning to the ground. Add in 35k in monthly losses, and Russia is in big big trouble this year. But, as the Russian generals are fond of saying " The Duration of Peace is in direct proportion to the slaughter inflicted on the enemy ". Russia needs more slaughter inflicted on it to end the war.

Found on the interwebs...

"We are closing the strait to open the strait to win the war we already won to open the strait that was open until I started the war that closed it... Also we are very close to making a deal exactly like the one Obama already made...and that’s why we cannot release any more of the Epstein files. Have I told you about my ballroom? People are saying, Sir that ballroom is gonna be fantastic, really something." ~Trump

Yeah ?????? Follow your leader.

Cool article!
Someone in Australia likes us.

While the world focuses on Ukraine and the Iranian war, Canada is sowing its seeds of internal destruction with its deals with China.

I don't understand the EV deal with China from an economic, political or security standpoint. We get a temporary drop in Canola Tarrifs (a $2B export to China) for a in initial $2B/year (and growing) in new markets for China. Canola didn't get a trade deal, It got used as a card in a poker game, and China has a mittful of those cards. We are sacrificing our auto industry and our internal security, and our foreign policy for a photo op and the lowering of a Tarrif that we usually get lowered for free.

Our EV Tarrifs on Chinese cars is lower than Trump's overall Tarrifs on lead painted toys.

Remember Gene Hackman's wife died seven day before him of hantavirus. He died of of starvation and dehydration because she was no longer caring for him.

So did their poor dog, who was crated.

But yeah, hanta viruses are scary.

We have one in Sweden, which we call "sorkfeber" (vole fever). It's usually not lethal, but will knock your kidneys out, so people have to get hospitalized and have dialysis for a couple of weeks. Typically the kidneys will start functioning again, but in the rare case a patient may need a new kidney or even die, but the death rate for our version is pretty low. And the virus only seems to exist in the northern half of the country. Baically, it means you have to be careful when handling fire wood or cleaning out sheds, make sure to not inhale too much dust.

The hantaviruses of the Americas seem more potent. From what I understand both the kind that got Hackman's wife and the one they had on the boat attacks the lungs rather than the kidneys, and then it can go south really quick.
