It's of little substance, other than adding to the mountain of lies upon which Biden stands, but why not offer ye the latest Biden lie, this time at West Point. When he wasn't almost playing pro baseball on the eighteen-wheeler he used to drive, to his father's coal mine that was located in Neil Kinnock's life, Biden claims he also was recruited to be a naval academy star. No Joke! Biden is accused of repeating long-running lie in commencement address (msn.com)

That insane $320 million tax-layout for the Gaza Pier is, again, proving to be unworkable. Meanwhile, the Israeli government not only doesn't open the food gates, they continue to let locals raid and burn the aid trucks – after IDF forces repeatedly have shot and killed aid workers, even UN aid tents.

US ships operating Gaza humanitarian pier beach on Israel’s shores
ASHDOD, Israel — Rescue operations were underway Saturday in Israel, as American and Israeli soldiers worked to release two beached U.S. army vessels that had washed ashore while working to build a floating pier outside the Gaza Strip. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement Saturday morning that “heavy sea states” caused four U.S.…

This video of Boris Johnson praising the Azov Battalion, which was involved for years in the Donbass slaughtering innocent people merely because they were ethnically Russian, a military group in Ukraine that is close to the Svodoba Party – both of which have strong Nazi ideologies – yeah. Boris praised them, and, of course, his visit to Zelenskyy in spring of 2022 was to tell Z to stop his peace negotiations with Russia. I doubt pop media is going to ask questions about this revelation on the video... https://x.com/BowesChay/status/1793863751554539587

As I got to write re this, on X:
"Every nuance of Antitrust law is not only unconstitutional, it is immoral and runs contrary to real economics. What they call 'anticompetitive' is actually competitive, and they don't like that fact. Open markets allow the chance of competition, and it is government which stands in the way of open markets."
Domnic Armantano's great book, ‘Antitrust and Monopoly’ goes through the history of Antitrust, showing not only the corrupt origin with the Sherman Antitrust Act, but how it bends the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution and is used to shut down competition, not allow it.

California needs money. They are prepping to tax car owners not just for buying gas, but for miles driven. They claim it's because of the rising number of electric vehicles, but many states, including CA, have been planning to tax by the mile for a long time, using the black boxes on cars to track the mileage. Here's the first part of this story, in CA, but it's a wider US phenomenon: Caltrans wants to charge drivers per mile: What to know – NBC Bay Area

Every time they collectivize something, they raise costs (the roads), tax people more, and pit people against each other. Classic collapse of collectivism in action.

As I noted on X: "He's working the dual fork of hypocrisy. He's implying that the US disregards the ICC and ICJ, of course, but, meanwhile, he pushes NATO and US backing the artificial govt of Ukraine that the US helped install in 2014. When an international org suits his purposes to expand political power and militarism, he's all for it."
Here's Johnson picking and choosing when he thinks the "international" authority is or is not authoritative. He cares for consistency about as much as he cares for his oath to the US Constitution.

The ESG mindset at Chase spurred them to attempt to debank Christians. But legal pushback has seen Chase back down. If this were truly a private interest, they should be free to do what they want and suffer the consequences, but they have gotten govt bailouts and are directly tied to the Federal Reserve. As a result, people will argue over what their politics and policies ought to be. It's a bad idea to mix govt and business in any way, and this is another example of the trouble it creates.

The WHO is engaging in a tactical move to delay. They also have what is called the OneHealth protocol that will operate parallel to their eventual "treaty" and "rules changes", and OneHealth will dictate things such as vaccinations of livestock, control of food supplies, and more. With OneHealth running as a side program, they can tweak OneHealth and change rules as they see fit, because the "Rules" and "Treaty" can simply refer to OneHealth for definitions. Here's the latest from Geneva: W.H.O. Pushes to Seal Global Pandemic Treaty as Closed-Door Talks Conclude (breitbart.com)

Here is the OneHealth system they are creating: One Health (who.int)
One Health is an integrated, unifying approach to balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It uses the close, interdependent links among these fields to create new surveillance and disease control methods. By addressing the linkages between human, animal and environmental health, One Health is seen as a transformative approach to improved global health.

And here is a great quick look at how insane some politicians in DC are. Not only is the US not supposed to have any standing army other than the militia, i.e. the people — not a “US Army” or the “Marines” or “Air Force” (the Constitution does allow for a Navy), but the US is not sanctioned to prevent employers from firing members of the US military should they leave work to fight. David Crockett explained the very limited nature of compensating for the military, when he gave his famous “Not Yours to Give” speech in Congress in 1830. Now, many of these DC legislators want to bend the Constitution again to strongarm private employers, etc, to have to do special favors for people who run off to join the Israeli military! https://rokfin.com/post/178701/GOP-House-Members-Want-Military-Benefits-For-Americans-In-ISRAELI-Army

320 million dollars for that? I'm fairly certain, that even in today's inflation nation, I could put up a dock made of wood, that wouldn't float away for about a tenth of that and still come away looking rich. When you're done with it, you turn it over to the locals to be used as a fishing pier. At least, that's how I would sell it on the floor of congress. The original Santa Monica Pier was opened in when, 1909 if my Wiki is right? Wood piers work just fine.
The G7. I have been a critic of this Globalist money exchange forever. I wrote about the disgrace that was the Reagan led giveaway of our liberty in 1983 at Colonial Williamsburg. The truth of that particular meeting, was a globalist launching of the idea of a world currency and haircuts all around for those who were too prosperous. That buy off plan didn't work too well.
When NATO disappears, it will take the "G" scam with it.
