The Israeli Plot to Extinguish the Journalists Documenting Genocide Palestinian journalists live through the same brutal conditions they cover — and describe a pattern of direct targeting by Israeli forces.

This highlights the lie that Israel is attacking Gaza because of Hamas: theintercept.com/2025/07/03/i... - the actions of the current Israeli government and military are beyond any acceptable justification. They are murderers, pure and simple.

It would be very healthy for human species, If there is less Discouragement.

It is difficult to appreciate just how badly JD Vance’s comments are going down with military leaders, families of fallen soldiers & citizens across Europe.

This is the UK’s most popular independent radio station, LBC.

Some Sunday thoughts on America and the defense of Norway and Europe.

Some input values: I have been an Atlanticist, believed in America as a beacon and the leader of the free world and strong proponent of as close as possible bilateral defense relationship.

‘We’re no longer in a Cold War, we’re in a hot war, we’re no longer fighting the Soviet Union, we’re fighting Russia.’

Here's fascist traitor Trump with Brexiters Farage, Raheem Kassam, and Arron Banks. And here's Raheem Kassam boasting about Russia defeating Ukraine in half a day, and Farage and Arron Banks parroting pro-Russian propaganda lies.

Farage is a traitor working for the fascist axis.

Ah, fair enough, I am corrected, just as it should be. 😁It is sad to see the USA now being treated as an international pariah - but I guess that's what you get when you vote in a collection of sociopaths.

🤣🤣🤣 If only this were true I'd still be laughing. However, nuclear fuelled submarines are not fuelled by diesel which is what the company are now refusing to sell to the US Navy. I commend them, the USA has been utterly humiliated by its leaders. Reported as misinformation.

People seeking asylum can apply for permission to work after a year in 23 highly specific roles including classical ballet dancer and racing groom. But not engineering, nursing, farming and many other vital professions.

Understanding why Trump says and does the things he does, comes down to understanding narcissism.

Starting with #14, Masking: Beneath the mask, the narcissistic personality is unstable, alienated, deluded, antagonistic, and morally unaccountable. Read more: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-...

At a time when the rule of law is under global attack, those electronic books people have made the Sunday Times bestseller #FakeLaw a Kindle Monthly Deal, a stonking 99p.

Those in power misrepresent the law to advance their own agendas.

Don’t let them lie to you.

👀🇺🇸🇺🇦 After yesterday's meeting with Zelensky collapsed, J.D. Vance fled on vacation to Vermont, where hundreds of angry protesters were waiting for him.

Since I wrote this midweek, the weight on Starmer’s shoulders has become even heavier, the task even greater. But as dark as things are, the prize is still there, if he has the political imagination to take it.

This weeks cover from @theneweuropean.bsky.social was spot on as always

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Who with me?

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. 

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. 

Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

This is the transcript of the conversation between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky

Everything Zelensky said is 1000% true and reasonable

Everything Trump and Vance said is not just false and insulting, it’s actual Kremlin propaganda

Shame on EVERY PERSON WHO VOTED FOR THIS TRAITOR 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such

"NATO is not the thing that Russia is afraid of. Russia is afraid of democracy expanding to Russia. Why are we in NATO? Its because we are afraid of Russia. And the only thing that really works – the only security guarantee that works – is NATO's umbrella," Kaja Kallas said in an interview with AFP

THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE THE GERMANS, 1933-45 MILTON MAYER with an afterword by Richard J. Evans

Reading THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE—Milton Mayer’s interviews of 10 “ordinary” German Nazis:

“Nazism overcame Germany not by attack from without or subversion from within, but with a whoop and a holler. It was what most Germans wanted or—under pressure of combined reality and illusion—came to want”

"This is what is required of Europe today: Commitment, clarity, confidence, planning and strength. This is disparaged as warmongering by Putin's apologists on left and right. In fact it is the opposite. It is the best way to prevent further war."

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.

Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.

Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
