Trump’s NSS claims Europe faces “civilizational erasure”.

Join us every day at 9 a.m. as Ukraine halts to honor the fallen. In Kyiv's Maidan, we silently pay respects, saying their sacrifice matters and our freedom continues. Traffic slows, voices quieten, hearts are covered. War takes our best, but memory outlives fear. Stand with us.

Just finished the Shimanami Kaido connecting Honshu and Shikoku by massive bridges over five islands in the Inland Sea. A superb cycling experience and highly recommended for anyone remotely interested in exploring the world on two human-powered wheels.

Experts are warning that Peter Dutton's nuclear idea is too expensive and economically risky for Australia.
Nuclear isn't answer for Australia- it means higher bills, more risk of unreliability and exposure in an uncertain world

In the past four weeks, Costco, which has embraced DEI initiatives, GAINED 7 million shoppers…
Target, which got rid of DEI, LOST 5 million shoppers!
That’s the power we have as consumers.
Remember that.
