The reason the US administration is supporting 'far right' political parties is because these are the parties supported by billionaires. Amid the hypocritical Nationalism you will find the true agenda: more power to the rich.

It is clear that Trump is not long for this world. Once he goes the way of all flesh, the thing to look out for is what happens to his moronic tariffs. If the tariffs stay in place, then they aren't Trump's idea, even if he agrees with them.

The ingredient list for butter ice cream should not contain any type of skim milk. Also, there should be more butter than salt. I suppose the reason they decided to add less than 334 MG of butter in 14 ozs. was so they could still call it butter ice cream. This is capitalism.

Postal imports to the US are down 80% because of tariffs. This is when people do Christmas shopping. Christmas shopping is when retailers become profitable for the year. Empty shelves, rising prices, starting to look like Russia.

What would really put the cherry on top is for Trump to pull the US out of the UN Security Council. I'm certain that if someone suggested as much, that Trump would think it was a good idea. A lot of other nations would think so, too. And one would not.

Given that Pam Bondi was previously the Florida AG, did her contact info wind up in Epstein's phone list?

It was after midnight at a post acute facility. The RN was calling for CNAs: "Sam! Frieda! Jesus Christ!". None of them showed up.

Musk thinks he's smart because of the Dunning-Kroger effect.

During WWII the US was transformed into a major industrial power with a dramatically stronger federal government. Many new institutions were created. Political power shifted across the population. Now Trump is systematically destroying those federal institutions.

So, Elon Musk was raised with servants in South Africa. That explains his fundamental incompetence.

Can Musk even tie his own shoes? He is old enough to understand the question.

Michael Wolff, in his latest book on Trump, said Musk and Thiel insisted Trump pick Vance as his running mate in order for Trump to get their support. IOW, Trump is a tool to get an unelectable Vance in the White House. Given the way Vance is acting, that tool may break soon.

Germany became a single nation state in 1870 because of a genius, Prince Otto von Bismarck. Europe had 20 years of peace due to Bismarck's international balancing act.

Bismarck was fired by Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was the exact opposite of Bismarck.

I see that in the recent German parliamentary election the Left Party got 8.8 %, while the FDP got 4.3 %. That means the FDP, which was part of the ruling Coalition, is now out of Parliament. The FDP agenda is most like the US's political programs.

The Left Party was the Communist Party.

Not a short list: Republican elected officials in the closet.

The Houthis are enforcing the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel. They have stopped sanctions on US and UK ships, and will cease sanctions on Israel linked ships when the ceasefire is completed. Note Houthi sanctions increase insurance and worker wages on ships.

I’m seeing a lot of confusion about the Equal Rights Amendment online.

I've been working on the ERA for 13 years & literally wrote a book about it.

So, let me help answer some questions.

1) Yes, it really is a real amendment & fully part of the U.S. Constitution. Full stop.

In a scientific paper comparing life expectancy in the US and Canada: "the legacies of slavery and racial discrimination in the US affect population health".

TL;DR: Canadians live longer because they have universal health insurance and less inequality.

630,000 years ago, Yellowstone erupted and spread ash between Los Angeles and the Mississippi, from the Gulf Coast to Canada. If it were to happen today, all airports would be shut down, and everything near Yellowstone would be toast.
