Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.

It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

Trump is starting a war with Venezuela. A country that coincidentally happens to have the world's largest oil reserves.

The playbook is laughable.

No wonder he wants to sanction the ICC unless they guarantee to not indict him in the future.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Trump threatens new International Court sanctions unless the court pledges not to prosecute him. Previously the US threatened to invade the Netherlands to shut down the ICC.

Every US government Democrat & Republican has refused to sign the Rome Statute and abide by International law.
The image displays a Reuters news article from December 10, 2025, concerning a U.S. threat of sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC). The threat is contingent on the court pledging not to prosecute President Trump.

JFC. The weakening of America continues.
Fred Wellman @FPWellman 🚨 I am getting a flood of messages from panicked @DeptVetAffairs employees that there is a bloodbath unfolding as @SecVetAffairs has quietly issued personnel guidance cutting THOUSANDS of jobs. Heavily hit is mental health and suicide prevention providers! They are gutting the VA and veterans healthcare while we aren't looking! Word is they are even gutting the brand new clinic in Fredericksburg, VA that Collins has been claiming credit for building. This is the privatization they've always dreamed of and veterans are going to pay for it! @RepVindman #veterans

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Both are abhorrent, but Russia has done a much better job covering up the crimes in the occupied territories of Ukraine than Israel has done in Gaza. There are over 50,000 people missing from Mariupol alone
