WIESBADEN, Germany — Leadership of NATO’s mission (click here) to oversee support to Ukraine has switched hands as U.S. European Command began shifting responsibility for parts of the effort to European allies. 

Lt. Gen. Curtis Buzzard relinquished command of the U.S. Security Assistance Group-Ukraine and NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine to Lt. Gen. Guillaume N. Beaurpere during a ceremony at Clay Kaserne on Monday. 

“It has been a privilege to lead this extraordinary multinational team,” Buzzard said. “Together, we have created a window of opportunity for Ukraine to achieve peace. This window will grow as Ukraine continues to raise the cost of war for Russia.”...

Trump has been pulling USA troops out of NATO for no real apparent reason. My guess is he wants instead to put American boots on the ground in Iran. But, pulling troops out of NATO willy nilly is not in the best interest of the USA. So, why not leave NATO vulnerable at the same time Trump builds deployment to Iran? Otherwise, he might have to risk a military draft and that would be political suicide before the Midterms.

There is nothing to say NATO is not capable of being without USA Troops, HOWEVER, we have a treaty and right now Article 5 (collective defense - click here) is active. There is every reason to believe the USA should be building up troop strength in Europe and not reducing it.

One of the reasons Ukraine was provided support for their war effort was for the protection of NATO. Initially, there was every reason to believe Putin's aggression was never about NATO, but, simply about Russian speaking people. That was the narrative out of Moscow, however, that has changed this year. There have been Russian incursions into NATO borders and Article 5 has been activated. The simple act of initiating that alertness and readiness has not deterred Vladimir Putin. 

There is every reason to believe Putin will be assaulting former Soviet states. There is absolutely no reason to believe differently. This has been Putin's long terms goals and his deceptive diplomacy and overt aggression of Ukraine openly conveys Putin's ambitions for eastern Europe. It is outrageous there is even one USA soldier leaving NATO, yet along thousands.

I believe the NATO alliance has a strong case against the actions of Trump and even more so against the highly bigoted and racist Hegseth. Hegseth's recklessness alone endangers American lives in the USA military as I write this. The NATO alliance needs to consider taking action against this administration. The USA military is not a lone entity in the world simply taking malicious orders from an incompetent Commander and Chief. The USA military is a global presence and up to the point where Hegseth became Secretary of Defense, was a highly competent and welcome part of world peace initiatives. 

I believe if the alliances of the USA act to bring their case to the people and structure of the treaty they will be able to thwart what is an openly disregard for the readiness of alliances spanning decades that has served the balance of power exceptionally well.

As far as Iran goes, it is no real threat to anyone. The country, with exception of missiles has been degraded in it's military expertise. That is a matter of fact, not strategy by the Free World. Trump has moved in ways to attack not only military targets, but, religious targets as well. The assassination of the Supreme Leader was completely unnecessary. Iran posed no threat. As a matter of fact, the reason Trump had to abandon his Palace Air Force One for the real Air Force One was because the people were clearly demonstrating with signs in English stating "We will kill Donald Trump." Shoulder fired missiles are a reality and on take off without the capacity of the REAL Air Force One it could have burst into flames. Those same Iranians not long ago were demonstrating for their civil rights. Now, with attacks on their country they are demonstrating for the end of war and the removal of Trump's and/or his death.

The Anti-Weaponization Fund

What is it?

It is an anti-First Amendment Fund.

During the time of Hitler it was advantageous for citizens of Germany to be loyal to the Third Reich. Citizens were rewarded in one way or another for their loyalty in ratting on Jews and the an people that protected them. 

So, how does Trump go about ending Freedom of Speech without an amendment to the USA Constitution which he would never get anyway?

Rewards. First a person would have to buy into Trump's lies and hatred which drives the lies, and want to make them the truth. Hence, the changes in historical sites and renaming monuments to serve his purpose like the John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts. Eventually, Trump would build enough momentum to remove the Late President's name and leave only his own. 

$1.776 billion US is a lot of reward. 

So, if there were reasons to turn someone into ICE (instead of the Jews or maybe someday even the Jews) there would be a reward not only for the number of immigrants reported but the people protecting them or housing them or employing them.

That is what that money was for, but, why anti-weaponization? Because the MAGAs talked about that. The weaponization of this and the weaponization of that so the money was to be a way to anti-weaponize all those terrible, terrible things and people causing the MAGAs social distress. 

Trump is currently bringing racism to USA policy. He is removing protected status from every group of people currently protected by USA immigration law. Why racism? Because it is one group after another group after another group without any real reason to carry out such mass deportations. He is pretending it is about protecting the vote, but, it is about hatred and racism. Sorry, I just don't buy it that all those people break the law and vote without the proper credentials. Remember, Trump is deporting even those immigrants with Green Cards, so this is another way of attempting to put his thumb on the scale of the elections, too.

Iran and Oman

It would appear the two countries are talking about the management of the Strait of Hormuz. I find that encouraging. 

I was driving down the road with a MAGA.

The MAGA was a passenger as her car wasn’t running. We drovw past a sign that stated, “DEER CROSSING.” 

She stated, “See, another government lie, there are no deer crossing here.” 

I started to laugh because I thought it was a joke.

She said, “I hate this government, they lie all the time. I hate Joe Biden.” I realized it wasn’t a joke. There were no deer crossing and a the sign was a lie. 

I turned to her and said, “Dr. Faucie saved my life. First, when he identified the virus. Second when he recommended I use masks. N-95 masks to be exact. Thirdly, when I received a vaccine shot. I have lived six long years more than other older Americans. And, why? Because I had an open mind to experts and I took his words seriously.”

No interceptors?

General Alexus Grynkewich, as reported by the Washington Post, has informed the Pentagon there are insufficient naval forces to protect Israel due to the war with Iran.

The theater is getting too big. There is no real battle front. There is expansionism with settler migration.

Ukraine is reporting it has no interceptor missiles to stop the barrage of Russian ballistic missiles hitting the country.

That is the state of our allies. It is a little to barren in the understanding of ally. Trump has no strategy or clear way forward. Impeachment needs to go forward. Our allies are at risk. The USA is not living up to expectations or contracts. Trump is over extended. He has no strategy.

Does the Republican majority Congress understand what national security is? Or. Are they simply “Paper Pushers for Trump?”

Now, the State Department is issuing warnings for Americans to leave the Middle East as the conflict grows out of control. There are no more interceptors and the military is spread too thin. 

Anybody have a genie on a bottle? 

Why the hurry?

(Click here)

Integrating TOP SECRET military industries regardless of alliance is a direct attack on USA sovereignty. It is very alarming to realize Netanyahu is so eager to dissolve Israel’s sovereign authority knowing Trump is loyal to Putin as well as a madman. 

This is once again treason besides Hegseth’s use of commercial media for troop movements. What does Johnson’s House do on the face of destroying the integrity of USA sovereignty; he kisses Trump’s ass. 

This illegal maneuver is being conducted in a hurry before the Midterms in fear of losing the Republican majority. Knowing Trump, who is paying him off to make this happen; friend, enemy, or Musk?

By the way, this article features competing allies for the limited supply of Patriot missiles. So much for the Golden Dome. Trump is cannibalizing the USA national defense to satisfy Putin while making a few bucks for himself. 

This PROVES beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump and his minion Congress are actively conducting genocide without conscious in the Middle East. None of any of the aggression by Israel would be possible without the Republicans’ cooperation. 

There is a huge difference between the Israeli use of the Patriot missiles and the use by Ukraine. Israel is using the Patriot missiles for aggression and Ukraine is using them for defense. Israel is imposing war and Ukraine is defending its sovereignty.

It seems all to obvious the plan was conceived over at least a decade and why Trump is more than snubbing NATO. Trump is abandoning allies built with the aggression ideology of little tin gods in Israel and Saudi Arabia fighting religious dominance wars.

All the ambitious criminals in the world are coveting the USA military. The one last superpower is turning into a mercenary force to own the world and enforce ay least one of the Abrahamic religions as king. Trump doesn’t care about God. There is no room for the existence of God in Trump World. Trump sucks up all the oxygen. Trump has mental health problems requiring attention from Congress, not indulgence of Trump’s panorama of power.

The Saudi Prince, the Israeli Prime Minister, and Trump don’t give a damn about each other. They are all fighting over the USA military. Trump only cares about who has the biggest bid/treasury. His own self interests. His own safety guaranteed by the occupation of the USA presidency. Trump is a sick man.

Trump cannibalizing the USA munitions’ stockpiles solves the dominance issue. Manufacturing cannot keep up with Trump’s drain. Trump is hungry for petroleum and rare earth minerals to secure his world view as king. Natural resources are like money, once used up it can’t be replaced. So. Who uses the natural resources in the world, war or peace? And. What does the world look like when war drains all the natural resources?

Trump is a sick man. Get over it.

Is it any wonder why Trump was purchased a second term? And. Why he needs a third?

Blanche is a case in point.

Both Blanche and Trump want whatever scheme they have in mind more than governance.

Blanche states to hell with governance and the will of the people.  He refuses to accept the fact so many legislators find him unqualified. Rather, it is just a matter of organized corruption to find out what the legislators want to change their vote and have Trump pull strings.

To Trump it isn’t about governance at all. Blanche is about politics and postponing any vote until after the Midterms. Trump believes that is the smartest move on his chess board.

This administration isn’t interested in governance, it is interested in power and control. 

Iran is not gambling.

Trump’s hatred is obvious. His abandonment of NATO stunning. His blindness to Israel’s aggression cannot be missed. Israel has no massive petroleum resources. 

Iran wants its sovereignty respected, especially since this is a war of choice. There is absolutely no reason for Trump’s aggression globally except hatred. 

National building always fails. That is a fact. Nation building is an ideology with Trump. He eyes liquid assets of a country along with any mineral stores, especially petroleum. His motivation is verbalized as hatred, but, lies in greed,

I will put it this way:

International laws, including warfare and maritime are built upon dispassionate religious preferences. Humanitarian efforts are the crux of all international agreements. Resignation of authority to humanitarian outcomes of people is the focus. Diversity of skin color, language, and culture including religion is marketable to help establish an economy. International trade is mitigated through the WTO and World Economic Forum.

When wars are fought out of hatred and religious dominance rather than safety there is no reason to stop and surrender if an individual soldiers soul is in the balance.  

GET OVER TRUMP. He is a toxin to civilization. I like France’s dialogue a lot. France of all countries has stood with the USA since the inception of this democracy. 

End of discussion.

Poor Dr. Fauci

 He is the administrative scapegoat.

A diary is not evidence when it is full of thoughts regarding scientific investigation. 

There is no there, there. 

For solid evidence it has to hold up past speculation. Dr. Fauci had a responsibility to look at every possible scenario. 

If Trump is looking for a reason to bomb China he can continue with his hyperchristen hatred of every other form of diety, except himself, of course.

How did they die?

(Click here)

Many of the Trump War on religion died because of military leadership. 

Illegal orders.

Orders that were chronically in the state of emergency. 

Running the ship aground in the Caribbean. 

Fires aboard the USS Gerald Ford. 

How did they die not just that they died.

This is exactly where Trump should be as a rouge agent to war.

The United States belongs at the peace tables with sincere effort and not the pretend peace tables Trump and Rubio conduct while war rages.

Trump is a known rouge president unwilling to recognize the USA Constitution with Congressional oversight. Trump has negated the Rule of Law in the USA when it comes to limiting presidential powers. Trump has ignored the Supreme Court in regard to tariffs and his illegal use of them. Trump has ignored every policy in the USA regarding government property and the processes protecting USA History and it's park lands. 

It is only right Trump and Hegseth are limited in every scope of USA military involvement and if that means limiting munitions to NATIONAL DEFENSE ONLY, then that is what that means. Carrying on in the Middle East to spark greater and greater conflict is NOT the best national security of the USA. 

End of discussion.

...Trump has decided, (click here) for now, to back away from plans to ramp up attacks on Iran, the New York Times said on Saturday, citing two people briefed on the discussion.

The president and his advisers, the newspaper said, have concerns about expanding the conflict, depleting defense stockpiles, alienating Middle East Gulf allies and affecting energy supplies and the global economy.

Vice ‌President JD Vance and Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of ⁠the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both raised concerns about the U.S. munitions stockpile with Trump during a White House meeting on Friday, a U.S. official told CNN.

Operations are "on a hold," a Department of Defense source told the broadcaster on Saturday.

Despite the Gulf lull, Saturday's ⁠fighting between Iran's Houthi allies and Saudi Arabia showed that the war, which has already disrupted energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, could affect a second major shipping route and reignite Yemen's civil war....

The Former FBI Director put these guys away rather than allow any chance of violence.

..."We are now, (click here) like, in the singularity," Sam Altman said on Saturday's episode of the "Relentless" podcast.

The singularity is often regarded as the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and begins advancing at a pace that's difficult for people to predict or control.

That felt like the case last week when an AI agent powered by OpenAI's latest models went rogue and — with a singular purpose, according to OpenAI — broke out of its digital sandbox and hacked into datasets at Hugging Face, another AI company, all to solve a benchmark designed to test hacking ability. Hugging Face's CEO called it "unprecedented."

Altman said on the podcast that just a decade ago, the so-called singularity still felt like a distant and improbable dream — something he and his colleagues would discuss casually over lunch.

"Now we're actually in the moment that we used to talk about at the lunch table in a very not-serious way," he said. "I've been waiting for this my whole life, and I think it's going to be incredible, hugely positive, awesome for the world."...

I never thought the plans Mueller made for terrorists were valid, but, more entrapment, yet they always held up in court. Convictions that put would be terrorists in prison did so for a long time.

We are yet entering a different time for criminal opportunity that results in mass deaths of innocent people. There are far more sophisticated methods to remain covert and out of the reach of law enforcement, namely advanced cyber tactics. Despite the assault on privacy (The Patriot Act) leading to indictment and followed by conviction, perhaps Mueller was right after all. Exposing terrorists in the planning stages ultimately protects society in general.

This paradigm is seen over and over. The most dramatic examples were the attacks on Lower Manhattan, the Pentagon, and foiled attack on The Capitol building in that the terrorists involved were immediately identified the day following the attacks. Would it not have been far better to arrest and convict during the planning stages of such aggression. This means the penalty for any kind of terrorist activity has to be clearly defined and arrests provable to protect lives of the innocent. The final sentencing needs to show all the facts with the potential after math and a clear reason for imprisonment.

The main suspect (click here) in a car-ramming attack that left at least one dead in Berlin was killed by police special forces on Sunday evening, German police said.

Police had tracked down Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German citizen, to the Western Berlin district of Spandau and were seeking to detain him when he attacked them with a knife, Berlin police spokesman Florian Nath said.

The officers opened fire in response, fatally wounding the suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene, said Nath.

The shootout ended a one-day manhunt that began shortly after 10 p.m. on Saturday, when a driver rammed a small van into a crowd of passers-by at the margins of a pride festival Saturday night in the center of the German capital.

The small van later crashed into a tree and was found abandoned. Authorities said the driver then attacked passersby with what appeared to be a machete. While some of the 29 wounded were seriously injured, none were in life-threatening condition, authorities said on Sunday.

After finding a mobile phone in the vehicle, investigators zeroed in on Ballout, who German justice said had a previous conviction for planning a terrorist attack....

Does the retirement paradigm benefit only Wall Street or the American taxpayer?

Can voters struggle with living paycheck to paycheck, with 60% of Americans without significant financial security as a motivating issue count on being a millionaire at the age of retirement?

Basically, where is the American Dream in relation to the reality of most Americans in the year 2026?

The basic reality most, if not all Americans have to come away with, is will all my work throughout my life ever equate to better quality of life and a secure retirement? When will the USA Dollar stop shrinking while inflation eats away at Americans attempt at financial security?

What myths need to be dispelled to achieve a solid understanding of the future of financial security and now that REALITY actually appear in the politics of the day? Basically, who is right and who is wrong in handing American voters reality rather than a dreamscape?

More than 50 percent of millionaires in the USA are nearly old enough to receive Social Security and Medicare.

This is Democratic Party strong suit. They should not overlook this demographic. 

Health care is a big issue for them.

The brief’s key findings are: (click here)

• With concerns about affordability front and center, the burden of out-of-pocket health spending relative to income is a key measure of retirement well-being.
• Even with Medicare coverage and ignoring long-term care, retirees face sizable costs for premiums, copays, and uncovered services.
• After subtracting these costs, the typical retiree has only 71 percent of Social Security and 88 percent of total income left.
• This burden was fairly steady during the period analyzed – 2018 to 2022 – but many retirees may be worried that it could grow in the future.

The most important fact in this entire survey is the average age of millionaires in the USA and how quickly they are occurring in recent years. They are Baby Boomers in their final years of retirement. No wonder the average home buyer is in their late 50s. They are preparing to retire for the rest of their lives. Is that the American Dream? Americans literally have are retiring into the wealthiest part of life in the USA. Or at least the ones that achieve it.

No wonder the global share is 41 percent. The USA has a higher population than the rest of the Free World. It also has more land in private ownership. These self made millionaires obtained the status because they played the real estate market in their years before retirement. The fact that more than three quarters are college educated is even more interesting considering Trump's Education Secretary is attempting to shut down higher education facilities.

The action by the Trump Regime paves the way for nuclear holocaust in the Middle East.

The religious volatility in the Middle East is far too high to trust this level of engagement with any country in that region.

Saudi Arabia for generations has attached itself to the USA for ideological reasons and use of it's military to engage in wars of choice. Iraq was a war of choice and now the assault on Iran is a war of choice. This is a country with a Prince that has overseen the acidic removal of a journalist practicing in the USA for a major newspaper because of the truth telling about the Saudi Prince's regime. This is a country that had a regime of terrorists carry out the attacks of September 11, 2001 under the leadership of Osama bin Laden. This is not a country that is an ally in the way the American people believe an ally should exist. This is a country with it's own direction dictated by it's religious beliefs. There is no democracy in Saudi Arabia, nor will there ever be.

Israel is already unsettled over this allowance by Trump. If there is ever engagement of nuclear weapons by Saudi Arabia, Israel will strike first.

The U.S. and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday (click here) forged a new agreement that could potentially provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability for its civilian nuclear program.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Saudi Minister of Energy Abdulaziz bin Salman formally signed the nuclear cooperation agreement, known as a “123 agreement,” alongside what the Trump administration described as a “bilateral safeguards agreement.”

The U.S. administration released scant details of the deal, but the framework paves the way for the building of a uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia after a joint U.S.-Saudi study, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

“These agreements reflect our two nations’ shared commitment to strengthening U.S.-Saudi commercial relations, delivering prosperity at home and security to our allies abroad,” Wright said in a statement. “Rest assured, these agreements uphold the highest standards of nuclear safety and nonproliferation, while relying on the world’s best nuclear technology and scientists, designed right here in the United States.”...

Americans' health is no longer safe from their government.

Human physiology and cell damage has not changed. If this is not profit driven then it is part of Trump's ideology in killing people. Just that simple. He prefers Putin over NATO. Hello, everyone?

These policies are being changed without any public comment period. The Trump regime is out of control and ranks up there with Saddam Hussein in the assaultive approach to governance. The Saddam Hussein governance allowed for sexual exploitation of women and with the "Manosphere" acknowledged by Trump and his children there is no difference than with the PRIVILEDGE of power.

What the American people are now experiencing is the profound CLASS divide that has always existed in the third world. The ruling class are the wealthy and privileged and the rest of the population impoverished and enslaved. The disconnection between the classes is well underway and will only grow from here.

The deregulation of the nuclear industry is just one example of Trump's assault on human health. The EPA, HHS, DHS, Education, and Interior Departments are engaged in dangerous deregulation of all forms of governance that established not only guardrails, but, walls between industry, private sector interests, and the health and well being of the American people.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (click here) is proposing to eliminate a foundational safety principle that has for 50 years minimized the radiation people in the United States are exposed to and that has been adopted around the world.

Currently, facilities such as nuclear plants, hospitals or academic institutions that use radioactive materials must ensure radiation exposures are kept “as low as reasonably achievable” — the ALARA principle. The NRC proposal would abandon that philosophy while keeping a separate standard on maximum radiation exposure.

The two standards have worked together in radiation safety. Dose limits set the maximum amount of radiation the public and radiation workers can be exposed to, while ALARA kept radiation exposure as low as practical under those limits. Research shows radiation exposure increases a person’s chance of getting cancer, a risk that increases as the dose increases....

Congress sincerely WANTS to maintain the neglect and hardship of the American people.

 Republicans are doing their every trick in the book to end this democracy and the Rule of Law. They hate the USA Constitution. If they didn't they would not be fighting so hard to end it's democracy.

Congress is guilty of neglect of this country while spending wildly on war.

 “The most significant threat to our national security is our debt.”

Those words have been spoken over and over since the testimony of Retired Admiral Mike Mullens in 2012.

The terrorist attacks are starting again.

This one in Germany shut down the largest LGBT celebration in Europe. I doubt if Trump cares. It violates his ideology to care. Think about that a minute. What kind of ideology would look the other way without recognizing the carnage or inhumanity of the brutal act. Think about law enforcement and whether or not the future for such crimes in the US DOJ would even matter.

Germany pledged justice (click here) after a vehicle attack near Berlin’s Pride event left one dead and 16 injured, as investigators identified a suspect described as Islamist and urged the public to help locate him. The incident, in Tiergarten close to Brandenburg Gate during Christopher Street Day, prompted emergency responses and the cancellation of remaining events. authorities emphasized rapid investigation into potential accomplices and whether the attacker acted alone, while the case unfolded amid a tense political moment ahead of state elections. The government’s response and ongoing manhunt underscored concerns over security and extremism, with opposition parties weighing in on the broader context and implications for public safety. The investigation remains fluid, with authorities examining vehicle details and possible second attackers, as the political landscape faces scrutiny over handling of security threats....

Ignoring the Rule of Law is Trump's favorite past time. What makes anyone believe Trump will do nothing but continue to ignore the law because of his ideology and desire to rule as King?

Blanche is a traitor no different than the man that nominated him. 

There are innocent Americans dead because of these bastards. There are people who immigrated to this country legally for an opportunity to live in this country and contribute to it's greatness, some serving in the USA military now in detention facilities.

The Trump Administration is criminal and ignores the Rule of Law. Now, the assault on Iran is manifesting in blockades by the Houthis and so far one terrorist attack in Berlin. This administration is wall to wall morons.
