Trump has contempt for international law and its value system that prohibits the use of force to change external borders. In its place Trump pursues “sheer coercive power” or mobster diplomacy with shakedowns, blackmail and deal-making as the agents of change.

Attack at a mosque in Nigeria yesterday killed at least 5. Likely suicide bombing, could be Boko Haram or ISIS. But the US president said something about protecting Christians.
Nigeria is a US counterterrorism partner, so it’s not like if US bombed Venezuela. But unclear if Nigeria asked for this.

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi.
They must bring her b4 committee, under oath.
Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Watching car salesmen days before year end baffled that sales have been down for 3 to 4 months. The cars are worse, cost twice as much, wages are half what they were, and you want $700 a month to lease. Nobody’s making money. Of course no one’s buying.
It won’t be better in 2026. Any guesses why?

The Russian economy is on its knees. So, Putin might well agree to some kind of peace plan to give him time to rebuild until he can reignite the war. Dictators can only survive if they keep their countries perpetually at war and invoke a feeling of patriotism.

Sentimental Value is the best movie of the year.
Every actor was in his/her best.
The screenplay has so much depth that there can be some many interpretations of the plot.
