Trump is a liar.

(Click here)

Dipping a hand in water does not cause an entire paint job to separate from the concrete. It must have been the ducks. They shit in the water. That did it!

Hurry. Shoot the ducks.

Trump hired a buddy to paint the reflecting pool. He used vinyl paint (click here). 

An entire surface that large will never allow a coat of vinyl to stay intact. The concrete was never prepped properly.

Think about this now. What are the chances of putting a huge vinyl blanket to cover the reflecting pool and have it stay there. The water leaked behind the vinyl and started floating off the concrete. 

No American did anything except the incompetent know it all Trump. Trump is liable for the damage he is causing to government land and structures. He is deflecting responsibility because he is scared of losing all the money he stole. 

Hegseth is completely incompetent.

His ideology is destroying readiness of the USA military.

Enough of the idiocy that goes along with the Trump/Hegseth view of the world. The USA military has to be protected from complete and absolute malpractice of military principles and science.

Getting a jab every year (click here) to protect against the flu is no longer a requirement for active-duty personnel, reservists and Defense Department civilians as part of a new policy announced by the Pentagon. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum lifting the annual influenza vaccine requirement in a video posted Tuesday on X. “We’re seizing this moment to discard any absurd, overreaching mandates that only weaken our warfighting capabilities,” Hegseth said in the video. “This includes the universal flu vaccine and the mandate behind it,” he said. “The notion that a flu vaccine must be mandatory for every service member, everywhere in every circumstance at all times, is just overly broad and not rational.”

Lackland flu outbreak a casualty of Hegseth’s culture war on medical science (click here)

Twenty-eight men have served as secretary of defense since the U.S. Army made flu vaccines mandatory in 1945, and only one of them called this sound policy “absurd, overreaching” and said that it can “only weaken our war-fighting capabilities.”...

June 20, 2026

The Air Force has yet to release any numbers but Castro said 222 recruits in basic training had fallen ill as of Thursday. Initial reports had said that up to 160 recruits were sickened in a flu outbreak that began three weeks ago....

June 22, 2026

Moderna's mRNA vaccine (click here) for influenza prevention has passed a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Advisory Committee (AdCom) meeting, meaning the company has successfully navigated a volatile backdrop with the modality in the US.

The FDA panel of experts discussed the benefits of the vaccine, known as mRNA-1010 or mFlusiva, in preventing the disease in two age groups....

Interesting developments today.

The conviction of Pedro Hernandez was restored. That is excellent news for the family and friends that lost a beautiful child so long ago. Thank you to the Supreme Court for seeing things clearly.

And.

Former President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry were validated through Iranian diplomacy for inspections of the Iran nuclear capacity. 

Both are magnificent achievements that make me proud of my country.

I am pleased Iran is leading the way to peace and prosperity. Speaking of prosperity, the Gulf countries are investing in Iran.

(Click here)

Many of the Gulf countries are encircling Iran with opportunity to reestablish tourism and a viable economy. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, and others are looking toward a peaceful and happy Middle East. It is time the USA and Israel put away their guns and get over the hate.

STOP IT NOW! (Click here)

Vandalism?

Trump is attempting to victimize Americans curious about his failure to provide good service to the Lincoln Reflecting Pool?

Everyone falsely accused needs to file a defamation lawsuit against Trump and a malicious prosecution charge against US Attorney Jeanine Pirro. 

These people are criminals involved with racketeering. 

If Trump had left the USA government intact rather than exposing all Americans to the racketeering of DOGU this would never have happened.

This is the culture Trump brings to Americans. This is not my tee shirt. It belongs to someone else who actually discarded it. I picked it up to photograph it. The lies will not be honored in a court of law, but, on the street the MAGAs are practicing. Trump. This is Trump's society based in lying, cheating, and racketeering.

Lying cannot become the new normal. This society will stall.

The Biden Legacy

(Click here)

Hunter Biden needs to pick-up where his father left off.

There has never before or since been a president with vast amount of legislative experience or achievements as Joe Biden. His presidency resulted in a reality rarely seen; he prioritized the youngest Americans over the others. He saw a world in trouble of being sustainable and without committing political catastrophe he moved into the future rather than exploiting every natural resource on Earth.

The Biden Presidency was unique because it focused on the people and the power every American holds within their own lives. 

Joe needs someone to harness the greatness that lives in that reality and run for office to continue his legacy. 

Lead from behind

(Click here)

I think the worst of the negotiations are over. I am certain everyone involved is worried about their souls so the future path is obvious. No one sincerely understands Iran, the Iranian people, their fears, their joys, or their faith. When all that is more clear with the assist of trusted diplomats in Pakistan the path forward should be clear. The path should be one of national security for all involved including Israel. 

Israel is attempting to migrate into being the 51st state of the USA without seeking statehood. It won’t work. It doesn’t matter the trickery of the words, it is grossly unconstitutional and an assault on the national security of the autonomous USA. The Las Vegas Cabal can keep their money and set up trust funds to ensure the people of Palestine have state of the art medical care forever. 

Israel will not have mercenary power of the USA military defense force. That is not anti- semitism. It is however peace.

The Non-Proliferation Treaty has to take center stage in all negotiations going forward regardless of the treaty. With that as the global model Iran can be the star of setting the standard. Use of nuclear energy has to be secured in a way that can never, ever result in centrifuges that create weapons grade fuel. Realizing how much of a threat nuclear weapons are to the global economy and the safety of all people every country on Earth should be following the example set by the Iranian standard to finally achieve the goal of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and that is the end of all nuclear warheads including and especially North Korea.

Those with the vision of non-proliferation were true humanitarian who saw a global peace that was inclusive of every race and faith manifested by their creator. It is time that vision be fulfilled with Iran leading the way and a timeline to completion without interruption for the rest of the world powers.

There will be no more five permanent nuclear powers at the table of the UN Security Council.

Albedo 1.0

This should be the agenda for the Lincoln  Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC between the Washington and Lincoln Memorials with the Capitol Dome in the distance. 

The USA Army Corp can handle it with input from NOAA regarding the algae. These agencies are already paid with magnificent expertise.

The algae most likely came from the Potomac River if that is the source of the water in the pool. The algae are microscopic and can lodge in every crack and crevice. It is going to be an ongoing project best assigned to expertise already in the federal government.

(Click here)

The HEALTH of the water in the reflecting pool is paramount to citizens enjoying their visits. There are such things as HABS (Harmful Algal Blooms). Those blooms must be taken seriously and prevented.

Algae in the reflecting pool

The black color absorbs heat. 

The optimal temperature for rapid algae growth is between 75 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is the algae, Cyanobacteria? 

Algae can be poisonous. Some algae are neurotoxins.

Wednesday, June 17, 2026

Propaganda really does work for those willing to hear it as fact.

The MAGA crowd is happier today than yesterday. Why? Because Trump continues to brag about the Iran peace plan supposed to be signed on Friday. Iran is still saying the plan is not complete without the removal of Israeli troops from Lebanon. I, more than anyone, hope the peace plan is signed and other issues can begin to be addressed between the USA and Iran, but, even if the peace plan takes hold and the Persian Gulf is again open to ship traffic the processing of any petroleum products will not take effect immediately. If there is a fall in price it is Wall Street adding impetus to Trump's plans for peace. 

The real concern today and beyond is the depletion of the USA Strategic Petroleum Reserve for the purpose of politics. This is worrisome and should not be considered a minor issue especially with Hegseth carrying on with the military as he does. 

June 16, 2026

After weeks in the doldrums, (click here) Donald Trump's job approval rebounded in this week's Economist / YouGov Poll to its highest level in three months — though he remains unpopular. 39% of U.S. adult citizens strongly or somewhat approve of Trump's job performance, and 56% disapprove, for a net job approval of -17. Last week, 35% approved and 60% disapproved for a net approval of -25....

The amount of oil (click here) in the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve plunged last week to the lowest level since 1983 as the Trump administration continues to deploy emergency oil to minimize the damage from the war with Iran.

According to federal data released Monday, US officials released another 8.9 million barrels from the SPR last week alone.

That leaves the US emergency oil reserve with 340.3 million barrels of crude, taking out the prior low set in July 2023 under President Joe Biden after Russia invaded Ukraine.

The last time the SPR had less oil than today was July 1983, when the Reagan administration was filling the reserve for the first time and when the United States had a smaller economy....

Henry Morales Hernandez should be far more valued as an informant than a migrant.

What the heck are they doing? This man is in the USA because of the danger to his life by Maduro. He should be valued for the understanding he has about the Maduro regime. He should be protected as a federal witness in the case Trump's DOJ has brought against Maduro. Does anyone in this administration know what they are doing?

June 15, 2026
By Billal Rahman

Federal immigration authorities detained a Florida grandfather and former Venezuelan army major who had sought asylum in the United States after fleeing the government of Nicolás Maduro, family members said....

...The case comes (click here) as the Trump administration has ramped up immigration enforcement, increasing arrests and detentions nationwide under it’s flagship mass deportation policy. The administration has moved to narrow protections for some migrants, including Venezuelans, while tightening legal pathways for immigrants.

Esmeralda San Andres Morales, an American citizen, disputed the circumstances of the arrest, telling Newsweek her husband had consumed a small amount of alcohol and was not impaired.

“He was taken in based on false allegations,” she said, adding that a breath test showed a blood alcohol level of about 0.03, and that her husband had no prior criminal record....

This entire mess doesn't smell right.

Bosch is a privately held company in Germany (click here).

Normally, the profit structure is applied in charitable methods. If companies are leaving the USA it may very well be based in extortion by Trump. Just a guess.

The Robert Bosch Foundation (click here) is one of the largest corporate foundations in Europe. For 60 years, our work has followed in the footsteps of Robert Bosch, continuing his social and societal commitment in a contemporary way.

The Justice Department (click here) announced today that it has declined the prosecution of Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), thereby resolving its investigation into an alleged scheme to send products and software manufactured with equipment that was the direct product of U.S. software or technology to an Entity-listed company in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). This decision was reached pursuant to Part I of the Department-wide Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy (CEP), after also considering the factors set forth in the Department’s Principles of Federal Prosecution of Business Organizations. Bosch promptly disclosed the misconduct to the National Security Division (NSD), fully cooperated, and timely and appropriately remediated — which qualified them for a declination under the CEP, given that aggravating circumstances were absent Bosch has agreed to disgorge the $11,430,098 in profits it made as a result of the transactions at issue — a portion of which will be credited towards the $36,184,680 fine paid in a parallel civil action by the Department of Commerce....

Congratulations Former President and First Lady Obama.

Your Presidential Center is opening and it is very exciting. 

I am so grateful for the Obama years. Our country was without a doubt an icon of peace and benevolence. There were also many wonderful goals achieved domestically. The First Couple served as an example and inspiration to an unshakable morality for the country.

Thank you. I look forward to the inspiration the Obama Presidential Center will bring to all those who visit.

And.

Oh, by the way, the nasty slurs in the air are somewhat expected, right? The current occupant of the White House with a destroyed East Wing doesn’t like to share the limelight. It is amazing to realize what a threat a magnificent President and First Lady brings to others lacking moral content in office. 

Thank you both. The girls and their 8 years of shared growth with all of us. And let’s not forget the dogs. They were great from the expression of friendship of the Late Ted Kennedy to their celebrity pet status that delighted us all.

Did I say thank you? Somehow it just doesn’t seem enough.

Lebanon

There can’t be all that many Hezbollah fighters left in Lebanon. The demise of Hezbollah goes back to the beginning of confrontation by Israel. September of 2024 thousands of pagers exploded killing and injuring thousands of Hezbollah and bystanders. 

(Click here)

Israel has tracked Hezbollah in Lebanon for as long as I can remember. Every once in a while the lone article appeared in the news that a truck loaded with munitions was exploded by an Israeli missile in southern Lebanon. So, the conflict has been an ongoing problem. But, continuous conflict in Lebanon is appearing to look like expansionism and not the removal of Hezbollah from Lebanon. 

Iran is demanding an end to the hostilities by Israel in Lebanon. For as unpopular as this will be, I think that is correct.

Hezbollah is not the only population in southern Lebanon. There are people called Lebanese now displaced from their homeland. If there is to be a true peace, one that settles the argument of Hormuz and ends the conflict between Trump and Iran, there cannot be another fighting force to pick up where the USA left off. 

There is also the issue of religious lineage of the Shi’ite faith. Nasrallah is dead. His neighborhood was destroyed. Israel is not contemplating spiritual genocide, is it? 

There are many reasons to end the hostilities. But, it must end even if there was no reason to end it. War becomes murder when it is endless.

imo.org

The commercial mariners caught in the middle of the war between Trump and Iran are suffering. They did not imagine such a thing could be their reality. They do not have food and water in sufficient quantities.

Iran knows the importance of charity among the Muslim faith. This is not fair. It is wrong to use innocent people as pawns in a very wicked set of circumstances. 

The agreement will be signed and it is important the mariners receive relief now. There are 14 dead already. This is a horrible tragedy especially to realize these mariners have families they support with their work on board these civilian ships. 

The waters where these commercial ships are currently hostage must be viewed as neutral territory to allow humanitarian efforts to bring relief to their suffering.

Please. No threatening moves, but, allow their companies and/or their countries to bring in food and clean water. These mariners are innocent. It is time to end any and all violence toward the ships and allow relief supplies to reach them. Allow them to send their sick to hospitals and their dead to their families for burial.

All I have is love for you brothers.

 Nothing but love.

Domestic Gun Regulations


It has always been a State's Rights issue. That is not politics. A state like Alaska people live at a distance from law enforcement. These folks hunt while among wildlife differently than someone in Los Angeles. In densely populated states such as New Jersey or Rhode Island the idea of an automatic weapon carried freely on the street is simply an outrageous danger to people. Part of owning a weapon is knowing how to prevent it from being used against you and others. Open carry invites all sorts of problems. 

It is unconstitutional but Trump unilaterally removed any and all gun regulations. That is going to include automatic weapons like the Tommy Gun, the most important arm of racketeers. Welcome to domestic terrorism.

Hegseth is toxic.

The thread was from yesterday.

Hegseth is destroying readiness through chronic fatigue both of the personnel and assets.

There was a “Major Accident Response Exercise” at the time of the deaths of the B52 crew. This is a chronic strategy to wear down the integrity of the USA military. The Stratofortress is a backbone of the USA nuclear triad. 

The Trump Administration is an enemy of the American people. 

Monday, June 15, 2026

A Stratofortress has crashed.

It is the same scenario has the Stratotanker that crashed in Iraq March 12, 2026. It crashed on take off. 

A through investigation into the crashes of these planes must eliminate the cause. There is something very wrong here.

Within three months Hegseth has managed to crash extremely important jets that have been in service since 1955. Those jets are part of the nuclear triad and nearly impossible to replace.

We lost six highly qualified crew members in March. How many this time? 

The crew is dead. The only thing left of the jet is ashes.

What kind of ordnance was it? Where was it headed. Was the crew under emergency orders? How much was it overweight on take off? All the safeties are removed by the Secretary.

I congratulate Pakistan.

I am very please Iran is moving forward after tragedy it has faced over the past months. I hope the Shi’ites will find peace in their homeland and the Shia diaspora will think of Iran and Iraq as their homeland. The Shia need to think about moving out of the crescent into their most sacred lands. I believe the crescent causes Iran and the Shi’ite leaders problems best served by peace. 

I sincerely believe there are intractable tensions between the Sunni and Shi’ite faiths. Settling into Iran and Iraq as permanent homelands would help end some of those tensions. Iran is a settled homeland and has been for 70 years. Iraq has been freely Shi’ite since Saddam has been tried for his crimes. These are both large countries that can accommodate the people that grace them. It is time the Shi’ites have peace and security without the ravages of hatred. It is time for the diaspora of the crescent to come home and end the forever conflicts that give others a reason to hate. 

The girls paid a high price. It is time joy find permanence in the hearts of Muhammad’s  heirs.

The USA has no business being there.

 (click here)

US President Donald Trump said on June 9 that Iran had shot down a US Army Apache attack helicopter while it was on patrol over the Strait of Hormuz.

The following day, a pro-government Iranian online user shared a video on X allegedly showing the destruction of the aircraft. The clip garnered more than 5 million views. 

Iran has a right to defend it's territorial waters. This is also how Ukraine began it's defense of it's sovereign lands.

If Trump is trying to raise sympathy for his mercenary wars he is barking up the wrong tree. He will get no support for the presence of the USA in the Persian Gulf. The pirates will probably be pursued by the Iranians and Oman. The Persian Gulf has been reclaimed by Iran since the inappropriate warring by Trump in his mercenary wars.

DO NOT SEND ANY MORE USA MILITARY HELICOPTERS OR AIRCRAFT INTO THE PERSIAN GULF AS IT ONLY IS USED AS PROPAGANDA TO PROMOTE THE WAR. 

Trump is assaulting elections again.

This is a States Rights issue.

(Click here)

If there are issues in a state with supposed election integrity problems they should be referred to the State Bureau of Investigation. Removing ejection records from any state is unconstitutional.

This time it is the famously Middle Class state of Ohio.

Any records obtained by the FBI in regard to elections should be abandoned as fraught with handling errors due to the fact the state election security has been breached.

Trump’s mercenary war

For $100 million you to can buy the United States military.

Adelson gave Trump that much for his 2024 campaign. Now, she gets what she wants along with MBS and any other Sunni with enough money to gift Trump a palace in the sky.

Donald be sure and announce to the entire world your plan’s to decimate the Shi’ite homeland so no one gets in the way of Hegseth’s blundering.

How’s the World Cup coming?

Things quiet in Lebanon yet? 

No War Powers Act, huh? 

With any luck the stolen Iranian oil will make it to the market before the vote of 2026.

Wednesday, June 10, 2026

It is called racketeering.

Blaming the victim for a strategy of crime is a cover up. Scott Bessent is doing exactly that. He is attempting to deflect from Trump's abuses to blame Congress for bringing it up in the first place.

It isn't as though they don't know.

By Michael Scanlon

A Congressional Research Service (click here) report released this month tallied 42 U.S. aircraft lost or damaged during Operation Epic Fury, the 40-day campaign against Iran that began Feb. 28. It is the most complete public accounting of a war the Pentagon has yet to assess on its own terms.

The May 13 report, “U.S. Aircraft Combat Losses in Operation Epic Fury: Considerations for Congress,” draws on news accounts and statements by the Defense Department and U.S. Central Command to compile the list....

Is everything with Hegseth an emergency?

Watch a female U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III pilot perform a stunning emergency takeoff at full throttle, pushing this massive aircraft to its limits. With seconds to decide and no room for error, this thrilling moment demonstrates elite training, raw power, and incredible courage.

 But, how? Why?

Hegseth

 The USS Gerald Ford was on fire. 

The USA military is striking Iran?

 What left is there to strike?

Ya wanna know who is a hero?

 Joe Biden.

CO2 Emissions in the United States (click here) increased to 4632160 KT in 2024 from 4618270 KT in 2023. CO2 Emissions in the United States averaged 4868161.25 KT from 1960 until 2024, reaching an all time high of 6135287.21 KT in 2007 and a record low of 2880505.51 KT in 1961.

According to this source (Emissions Database for European Commission) the USA had four lower emission levels of CO2 during the Biden years. It should be as close to zero as possible to reverse the deadly trend of greenhouse gases. 

Is there any wonder why Biden was demonized by the Republicans? 

Who cared about the kids the most, Joe?

Led by the oil and gas industry, (click here for Open Secrets) this sector regularly pumps the vast majority of its campaign contributions into Republican coffers. Even as other traditionally GOP-inclined industries have shifted somewhat to the left, this sector has remained rock-solid red.

Since the 1990 election cycle, more than two-thirds of this sector’s contributions to candidates and party committees has gone to Republicans. Besides oil and gas, the electric utilities industry is another big donor in this sector. Less generous, but even more partisan, is the mining industry. [Read more Background]

Now, why would Trump be delighted at inflation?

The inflation doesn't effect Trump. He has no real costs so much as profits from inflationary trends. Sure, sure the stock market has been having ups and downs, but, for the most part it has been up and up and up (click here).

Then there is the Republcian agenda to be happy about, too. They want to end Social Security. Well guess what the CPI does to SSI?

Trump: ‘I love the inflation’ (click here)

President Trump told reporters Wednesday that he loved “inflation,” after he was asked about inflation spiking in May.

“No, I love it. The numbers were great,” Trump said when asked if he was concerned about the latest data, which showed the consumer price index rising to 4.2 percent over the past 12 months — with an increase of 0.5 percent in May alone, according to the Labor Department.


Then there is Nividia. Trump is a repeat offender.

May 19, 2026
By Bernard Condon

Recent presidents (click here) have stayed away from trading stocks in companies whose fortunes they could lift or scuttle with the stroke of a pen, but Donald Trump smashed that precedent in the first quarter of this year with more than 3,600 buy and sell orders, many of them involving companies whose profits have been directly impacted by his decisions as head of the government.

Among the Trump trades in a recent report filed with a federal ethics agency was as much as $6 million in Nvidia, whose advanced chips Trump approved for sale to China last year. His portfolio also scooped up stocks of several U.S. military suppliers impacted by the Iran war, including Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman.

“If he were defense secretary, he would be committing a crime,” said Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics adviser in the George W. Bush administration and a big critic of congressional trading, too. “Technically he can do this, but it is a fundamental breach of trust.”...

Take a close look at the chart from today of USA stocks (click here). Catastrophic, right? The DOW lost 900 points. Every company on the Big Board is falling, right?

The tech stocks are doing fantastic this year. Yes, they lost today, except, for Apple. But, look at the year in returns so far. Every tech stock is in the green except Microsoft and Meta.

I feel so bad for the country. It simply isn't fair we have to go through this. I hold Congress responsible.

What is very concerning is that it appears Congress has as much of an agenda as Trump. I cannot believe they authorized such large payments to ICE and the Border Patrol given the very bad performance of those agencies. They should be ashamed of themselves for being so weak and their party for being so corrupt.

I congratulate Kristen Welker on an incredible interview exposing Trump for his meanspirited method of attempting to impose lies on the American people. Thank you. I understand there is supposed to be a second interview. I doubt if there will be transparency to what he is up to with all the money Congress gave him. I actually expect him to divert it to elections where he believes it is necessary to create hysteria to impose emergencies when Americans are balloting. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the California elections. 

Senator Jon Ossoff was given information about the incredible corruption taking place with Kazakhstan. He made a YouTube video about it and it is jaw dropping. Kristen should provide equal time to Senator Ossoff and interview him regarding his findings. The truth is out and there is no taking it back.

My understanding is simple. The president of Kazakstan called Trump and stated he wanted an American company to mine tungsten. Why? Kazakstan doesn't have companies that mine? Europe doesn't have companies that mine? Why ask a country across the Atlantic to take an interest in Kazakstan tungsten?

At any rate, Trump found a company in the USA to mine tungsten. It wasn't as though he was happy for the country and the company, that wasn't it at all. He first purchased stock in the company. Not only that but he had his two sons make a trip to talk with the president of Kazakstan about the good news. No doubt the boys had a sizeable amount of stock in the company, too.

It doesn't stop there. 

Once the contracts were signed and the news was out on Wall Street and the stock price was rising Trump reached into his presidential bag of tricks and gave the company an enormous grant of taxpayer money. Got that? The American company who has partial ownership now by Trump and his sons received monies from the American people in order to carry out the mining.

There is one word for this and it isn't corruption, it is racketeering. The American people are now engaged in racketeering empowered by the president, but, it isn't as though it is benefiting the USA Treasury, it is benefiting Trump's treasury. Racketeering is highly illegal. I doubt if the American people consent to illegal use of their tax dollars.

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) (click here) is raising questions about a Kazakhstan mining project that has become linked to Donald Trump's sons, saying in a recent X post (1) that "$1.6 billion of your tax dollars" is backing the venture that's now expanding the Trump family's business footprint in critical minerals.

The Georgia Democrat's criticism centers on a tungsten mining project that reportedly received significant U.S. government support before becoming associated with a company tied to Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. The allegation has fueled debate over both government spending and potential conflicts of interest....

And the Kazakhstan president's reaction. Amazing. He couldn't be happier. 

June 10, 2026
By Adele Zhanbirova

Tokayev, in turn, (click here) conveyed his respect to President Trump and reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s interest in further strengthening bilateral cooperation, Akorda reported.

During the meeting, the two sides discussed the implementation of joint trade, economic and investment projects, as well as prospects for cooperation in key sectors, including critical minerals, transport, logistics and digitalization.

Special attention was also given to the work of the Board of Peace, an international organization established earlier this year at President Trump’s initiative and supported by Kazakhstan.

Tokayev reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s readiness to continue contributing to international stability and humanitarian initiatives. The two sides also exchanged views on current regional and global issues.

Let's not window dress this and normalize it. It is criminal. Just that simple. Trump took out stock in the company and subsidized it to remove operating costs and increase profits. This isn't about benevolence for either the USA or Kazakhstan. This is about the profiteering of Trump and his family. It is illegal and is taking place while the Republican majority of Congress is looking the other way. No doubt they will praise Trump for bringing tungsten to the USA. 

Hold it right there!

The tungsten is going to the highest bidder even if it is the communists.

Say good-bye to the treasury of the USA. It is going into Trump's pockets.

Why was the helicopter in Iranian airspace?

What is wrong with this picture?

 War crisis in:

Lebanon 

Iran 

Ukraine

Are any of them made worse by Trump?

A Trumpworld Quiz

Q. Why allow a virus without a vaccine?

A. So everyone’s soul can go to heaven.

At the end of Trump’s first term more than a million Americans died of COVID-19. 

Why Ebola?

It is a virus. 

It is RNA. 

It has flourished in impoverished counties. 

How often does a virus mutate to survive in one month? Now, multiple that by 12 months. Multiple that by decades of time.

How close is Ebola at this time to completely incorporating human metabolism to use the body to death of the species?

Why is it important to fight such diseases at their source?

If you can’t answer that you can’t think for yourself.

Knowledge is different than intelligence.

Survival takes intelligence. Survival’s intelligence is best served by knowledge. Sharing knowledge is empowerment to survival. Prioritizing survival over hate is survival. Common ground is a universal quality.

Iran and USA seeking deal.

 LOL

Trump is stalling until the Mid-Term Elections and installing the military draft.

National Security

Trump carries on about the White House and his personal security, but, yet he is more than willing to place the country's national security in the hands of an imbecile and AI.

And, oh by the way, where is Congress on this? I mean when does a Congress become as meaningless to Americans as the geography of the world?

June 5, 2026

The White House (click here) said on Friday it would accelerate the development ​and use of AI for national security applications, while stressing that the technology should not ‌be used to carry out unlawful surveillance.

The Trump administration said earlier this week that it would ask leading AI developers to voluntarily submit their most capable models for government cybersecurity tests before releasing them to the public, as ​security fears mount in Washington over powerful new AI systems....

THERE ARE NO QUALIFIED HUMAN BEINGS LOOKING OUT FOR OTHER VULNERABLE HUMAN BEINGS.

What's this guys focus, the ballroom?

Bill Pulte, (click here) now the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, during his confirmation hearing in Washington last year.

President Trump on Tuesday named Bill Pulte, who has pressed for investigations into the president’s foes, to serve as the acting director of national intelligence, giving him oversight of U.S. intelligence agencies....

So basically, Pulte sits in on a cabinet meeting and is a yes man that agrees the most intense national security threat are the other parties and possibly the president's own party. Is that about it? 

This is more of the same Big Lie issue. The Big Lie is an issue. Trump is doing his damnest to change the history and dialogue of this country. The Big Lie IS A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE. ABSOLUTELY IT IS. 

Does Pulte even know what the National Threat Assessment says over the past decade?

The Intelligence Community's Worldwide Threat Assessment (click here) is released by the Director of National Intelligence annually at public hearings of the IC oversight committees in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Often referred to simply as the "ATA," the Annual Threat Assessment provides an unclassified summary the Intelligence Community’s evaluation of current threats to U.S. national security, including cyber and technological threats, terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, crime, environmental and natural resources issues, and economic issues.

A Nazi like Trump can't simply come into the White House and order a complete change in direction of the National Threat Assessment without someone screaming treason.

There is a logical progression to the development of these important documents. The issues that are a threat have to be resolved before they can be dismissed as inconsequential. Anyone leading the NSA must have a clear understanding of The Assessment and the brevity it carries. A working knowledge is mandatory to the job of National Security Director.

The White House Ballroom

I think the justices of the DC Circuit have it right. The Organic Act of 1916 doesn't really give permission for major structural changes to any aspect of the Park Service. It does appear that Trump acted in haste when the construction was begun. 

June 3, 2026

The National Park Service (click here) has complied with a comprehensive Freedom of Information Act request, releasing more than 35,700 public comments submitted in response to a controversial federal review of historical signage. The records, which took federal agencies 313 days to process and release, reveal overwhelming public criticism of a White House initiative aimed at re-evaluating how American history is presented across public lands.

The vast public database includes more than 1,700 entries submitted specifically for Colorado's 13 National Park Service sites. An extensive review of the logs indicates that a substantial majority of unique entries strongly object to the federal campaign, with visitors expressing a deep attachment to the park system alongside calls for increased financial and structural support....

The people are especially important when it comes to the benefits of the National Park Service.

There was absolutely no public comment period in regard to the demolition of the East Wing and the start of construction. Basically, Trump completely disrespected the taxpayer and their understanding of what is important as an American, especially when considering the importance of the iconic White House.

Here again is the overshadowing philosophy of Trump, "Just take it."

...“When did it become impossible for courts to stop this?” (click here) Millett asked, adding whether it was when the East Wing was demolished or when the underground portion began.

“I think it would have been improper to enjoin it even on day one,” Roth said.

“If this were complete lawlessness by the government, couldn’t be stopped,” Millett said.

“I think that’s right,” Roth replied.

Thaddeus Heuer, of Foley Hoag and representing the National Trust, urged the panel to affirm Leon’s preliminary injunction and the fact that Congress, not the president, owns the White House.

“Everyone understands, if you go to Yellowstone [National Park], you use the park by going and looking and Old Faithful, you look at the bison, you look at the mountains, that’s how you use Yellowstone,” Heuer said.

Similarly, Americans use the White House complex the same way as a site “for national discourse about what it means to be an American,” he said.

Ebola

Trump is carrying out a VOLUNTARY process to prevent the transport of Ebola to the USA.

The problems in regard to Ebola is impoverishment and not the ability to keep people alive to survive the damn stuff.

The virus is highly covert. After finding a path into the body when a person comes in contact with other contaminated bodily secretions the virus is invisible from the immune response. It is a virus that replicates quickly and mutates even faster to survive the ability of humans to kill it. The most recent strain is a powerful mutant that has circumvented the body's defenses. The development of a vaccine is hope for the people of the region in Africa. 

The problem in surviving Ebola is staying alive long enough for the body's immune response to catch up with the viral load. The problem is that the human body begins to crash causing multiple body systems failure because of the free floating the virus and the lack of effective immunity. The other immune processes recognize something is amiss and tries to combat the invasion without the help of attack cells. It is sort of like the response to septic shock. There is a cascade of failure that leads to death. Primarily dehydration. The loss of fluids is so profound the body has no reserves and it's ability to survive is lost.

The survival of Ebola in the USA is 90 percent because of advanced support systems like dialysis and respiratory ventilation. The body survives the initial onslaught and with time the immune response takes shape and destroys the virus. It is the loss of fluid, the lack of any kind of support systems, and enormous lack of funding that has resulted in the Ebola deaths this year. The new virus variant developed because of THE OPPORTUNITY presented by impoverishment and lack of other vaccines and health care once provided by US AID. That has always been the role of US AID. It interrupted poverty and provided health care and education to people outside the USA to prevent disease, hence, ELIMINATING the threat of disease in the USA.

Ground Zero to the current Ebola emergency.

At the (click here) Kanza Kanza gold mine in Mongbwalu. The lure of lucrative wages draws miners to the area.

The mine needs to be quarantined and the disease eliminated. That mine is putrid.


U.S. embassies continue to keep Americans informed of the latest travel, safety, and health information. (click here)

The Department’s highest priority and focus remain protecting the health of the American people and preventing this Ebola outbreak from reaching our shores. To that end, the Department of State, in close coordination with the CDC, DoW, and the broader U.S. interagency, has published guidance on a voluntary process to assist U.S. citizens who have possible Ebola exposure or who request assistance to depart the DRC, South Sudan, or Uganda during the ongoing Ebola outbreak. U.S. citizens will remain subject to relevant U.S. and foreign government health, travel, and screening measures. Information regarding this new process may be found on the Department’s Ebola information page.

U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) for the most up to date information for their specific location.

As a result of the Memo of Understanding of Afghanistan there are stranded refugees still today.

Key Facts Regarding Camp As Sayliyah and Afghan Relocation Operations (click here)

By the Numbers

1,100 Afghan wartime allies and family members currently living at Camp As Sayliyah

800 residents in the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) pathway

300 residents in U.S. consular immigration pathways (SIV/IV)

150 residents are immediate family members of active duty or recently separated U.S. military personnel

More than half of residents are women | More than half of residents are children

More than 700 residents are women and children

March 31 deadline for relocation from the camp under current U.S. plans

The Afghan families currently living at Camp As Sayliyah were brought to Qatar by the United States government after being vetted and transported on U.S. government flights. They were told the camp would be a temporary step before relocation to the United States. Today, more than 1,100 Afghan wartime allies and their families remain there as relocation pathways to the United States remain suspended and the facility prepares to close....

...VanDiver (click here) said his understanding of the administration's plan is that the Afghans will be given the choice to voluntarily resettle in Congo or move back to Afghanistan where, he said, they could be targeted by Taliban forces.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

"The DRC is not a responsible option," VanDiver said during a briefing Wednesday. "You cannot call a choice voluntary when the two options are the Congo and the Taliban. Civil War, or an oppressor who wants to kill you."...

And Rubio stated in his hearing that Trump doesn't care where the refugees go so long as they are nowhere near him in the USA which is to be reserved for white people he approves of.

June 3, 2026

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio (click here) said on Tuesday that no Afghan refugees are currently allowed to enter the United States and that those stranded at Qatar’s Camp As Sayliyah would instead be resettled in other safe countries.

In the same hearing, Senator Chris Coons said that around 1,100 former Afghan colleagues, including 400 children and 150 family members of US service personnel, remain stranded in Qatar.

He warned that these individuals could be sent back to Afghanistan or transferred to countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is currently grappling with the spread of the Ebola virus.

The Democratic senator called on the US Secretary of State to work with Congress to bring these individuals, particularly the family members of US service personnel, to the United States....

Hello?

The current majority of Republicans in the House and Senate are worthless and Trump in his dictatorship over them is even more worthless.

The last Memo of Understanding by Trump.

Trump's retreat from Afghanistan was a Memo of Understanding. It lead to a disasterous withdrawal later on the next administration.

 ...A comprehensive peace agreement is made of four parts: (click here)

1. Guarantees and enforcement mechanisms that will prevent the use of the soil of Afghanistan by any group or individual against the security of the United States and its allies. 

2. Guarantees, enforcement mechanisms, and announcement of a timeline for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Afghanistan. 

3. After the announcement of guarantees for a complete withdrawal of foreign forces and timeline in the presence of international witnesses, and guarantees and the announcement in the presence of international witnesses that Afghan soil will not be used against the security of the United States and its allies, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban will start intra-Afghan negotiations with Afghan sides on March 10, 2020, which corresponds to Rajab 15, 1441 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Hoot 20, 1398 on the Hijri Solar calendar. 

4. A permanent and comprehensive ceasefire will be an item on the agenda of the intra-Afghan dialogue and negotiations. The participants of intra-Afghan negotiations will discuss the date and modalities of a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire, including joint implementation mechanisms, which will be announced along with the completion and agreement over the future political roadmap of Afghanistan. The four parts above are interrelated and each will be implemented in accordance with its own agreed timeline and agreed terms. Agreement on the first two parts paves the way for the last two parts....

Another Trump Memorandum of Understanding

The equivalent of massive amounts of dirty bombs. Does anyone actually know what is the status of these former enrichments sites. I have yet to see one.

June 25, 2025

By Jeffery Kluger

There is all manner of geopolitical and military fallout (click here) likely to come from the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear enrichment sites on June 21. What worries a lot of people more, however, is the literal fallout—the radioactive contamination that could be released when massive, bunker-buster munitions are dropped on facilities said to contain more than 400 kg (880 lbs.) of enriched uranium. Demolishing the sites, so the thinking goes, could have the same effect as detonating a so-called dirty bomb—a piece of non-fissile ordnance that spreads dangerous radioactive material across a large footprint of land and expanse of sky.

These documents are worthless. Trump is attempting to recreate the wheel when there is no way SAFE WAY to assess the places in Iran where bunker buster bombs because of uncontained radiation. If no one can assess the facilities safely, then there is no way to work in the facilities to enrich uranium.

...Witkoff and Kushner (click here) agreed terms with their Iranian counterparts last week on a 60-day MOU to extend the ceasefire, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, allow Iran to sell oil and launch talks on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile and limitations on future enrichment.

- Trump asked for two amendments to the text last Friday, and the Iranians said they would ask for tweaks of their own. The U.S. is waiting for the official Iranian response, but the sources said the gaps are relatively narrow.

-For example, Trump asked Tehran to agree that any final deal would include a 60-day deadline to conclude the down-blending of Iran's enriched uranium, but the Iranians want that deadline to be 90 days, according to two sources briefed on the talks.

- There is also disagreement over how much of Iran's frozen billions would be released, and when. The U.S. has said it would release funds after a final deal was reached and concrete steps were taken toward implementing it, a U.S. official said. The Iranians want some of the funds released immediately....

The only problem in the Middle East in regard to Iran are the drones.

Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant (click here)

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) (click here) vigorously condemned the brutal attack on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) involving three drones, one of which targeted the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Al Dhafra region.

In a statement Sunday, Secretary-General of the GCC, Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi stressed that these treacherous attacks on the Plant represent a dangerous escalation and a direct threat to the security and stability of the region.

These assaults are tantamount to a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms related to the protection of critical and nuclear facilities, given the potentially catastrophic consequences affecting regional and international security, as well as threatening the safety of civilians, the environment, and global energy supplies, Albudaiwi warned.

He stressed the full support of the GCC member states for the UAE in all measures it undertakes to maintain its security and stability, as well as the safety of its citizens and residents. (QNA)

Trump has no proof of enriched uranium in Iran.

Iran is importing it's enriched uranium for generation of electricity. All of Trump's rantings are propaganda.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog (click here) has been unable to inspect nuclear facilities in Iran affected by the war last June according to a confidential report by the U.N. nuclear watchdog circulated to member states and seen Thursday by The Associated Press.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported that it “cannot provide any information on the current size, composition or whereabouts of the stockpile of enriched uranium in Iran or whether Iran has suspended all enrichment-related activities.”

The IAEA warned that it was “unable to discharge its safeguards responsibilities” that it has under the Safeguards Agreement of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, adding that it is “indispensable and urgent” for Tehran to implement its obligations under that Treaty.

The only nuclear facility inspected in Iran by IAEA inspectors since the last report in February has been the Bushehr nuclear power plant, which was visited on June 1-3. The reactor currently running at Bushehr uses uranium from Russia enriched to 4.5%, a low level needed for power generation in such plants.

The confidential report come as tensions have flared in the Middle East.

Independent investigation needed.

A British soldier (click here) who was killed in a training exercise in northern Iraq has been remembered as "a lover of the outdoors" and "a devoted family man".

Lance Corporal James Stewart Freeman, 29, of the Royal Anglian Regiment, died on Sunday during a joint training exercise in Erbil with the US, the Ministry of Defence said.

Defence Secretary John Healey said Freeman served the country "with dedication, professionalism and pride", adding: "My thoughts are with his family, loved ones and colleagues at this devastating time."

The US Army issued a statement on Monday confirming one of its soldiers also died in the exercise....

Trustworthy

 Who is trustworthy?

That is on the ballot from here forward.

One part of life many Americans learned about in the 2024 elections is the betrayal by the Republicans when they were entrusted with the Executive and Legislative Branch. For the most part until recently, Congress has been primarily silent and allowed Trump to run roughshod over the country. That is not trustworthy conduct of the USA House and Senate.

The USA Senate didn't stand up for the American people on either of these issues. The Democrats fought the funding of the aggressive and dangerous regime of Donald John Trump and the Republicans simply rubber stamped the violence of Trump in passing this funding without restrictions on violent law enforcement or illegal racketeering of the 1776 slush fund.

The USA Senate has not acted in a trustworthy manner to garner praise over the way they are throwing money around in the face of the deaths of American citizens. The Democrats were not playing politics. They had real reasons to obstruct funding to the Border Patrol and ICE. They killed American citizens. The agents murdered them. The citizens were of no threat to the agents involved, yet they believed they had the right to kill people they decided were worthy of death.

I don't want to hear how they needed training. THAT IS NEGLIGENCE. The USA federal authority is supposed to have agents well trained to protect the people and their rights. Trying to say there is an excuse for the deaths of Americans is part of the problem, not the solution. 

So, it is easy for me to decide for myself these Senators are not acting in good faith. They are not acting in the best interests of the American people and they are exploiting the USA Treasury while allowing racketeering. 

That is what the 1776 Slush Fund is; racketeering. The 1776 Slush Fund is completely based in a lie that serves Trump's propaganda purposes. Got that? The Republican members of the USA Senate simply allowed the racketeering to continue. Just because the DOJ has not brought Trump up on criminal charges doesn't mean it didn't happen or that the USA Senate cannot discern for themselves crime was being conducted.

The Democrats had absolutely no problem in deciding ICE was killing Americans without cause.

The Democrats had absolutely no problem in deciding ICE was killing Americans without cause.

The Democrats had absolutely no problem in deciding ICE was killing Americans without cause.

The Republicans CHOSE to allow the propaganda to stand as fact. Let me state that again. The Republicans CHOSE to allow the propaganda to stand as fact. That means the Republicans recognize that lying works best for them.

The passage of this funding is wrong. It is completely absolutely wrong. There needed to be guardrails for the agents. The funding requires conditions to it's use and the conduct of the agents. The Republicans supplied none. Trump is allowed again to kill at will any American he deems, through his violent federal force, a reason to kill them. Make no doubt about it, the agents killed because they were told to do so. Unarmed demonstrators that wanted the heinous tactics of ICE and Border Patrol to stop were gunned down. The agents were armed and told to kill at will anyone they believed should die.

Yes, heinous. 

Agents repelling down in the middle of the night into an apartment building? That is heinous. There is absolutely no reason for such action domestically in the USA.

The Senate passed legislation (click here) to fund President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies early Friday, after weeks of delays and fierce backlash to an unrelated $1.776 billion settlement fund that threatened to derail the bill.

Senators voted 52-47 to pass the $70 billion legislation to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol for the next three years, through the end of Trump’s term, after Democrats blocked the money for months. The bill will now head to the House, which is expected to take it up next week.

The final vote came just before 5 a.m., after Republicans narrowly defeated multiple attempts by members of both parties to add language to the bill that would permanently ban Trump’s settlement fund for allies who believe they’ve been politically persecuted....
