US Politics

Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin commented on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, reportedly describing the Democratic Party as “America’s Ukraine” and claiming that some liberals are celebrating the killing while the MAGA movement mourns. Dugin also suggested the possibility of civil unrest. Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, announced plans to continue his legacy by strengthening Turning Point USA’s mission through campus tours and events like America Fest, encouraging supporters to join the cause. However, some mainstream voices, including MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd, have denied any widespread celebration among liberals, emphasizing a need for unity and non-violence across political divides.

Separately, the alleged suspect, Tyler Robinson, has been linked to Antifa through online activity, according to reports, leading some to call for the group to be designated as a terrorist organization. Conversely, representatives of Antifa on social media have stated they are a decentralized movement and deny any formal connection to Robinson, asserting their focus on anti-fascism rather than violence.

Relatedly, misinformation has circulated widely after the assassination, with a fake photo of Tyler Robinson wearing a Trump shirt gaining 400,000 impressions on X within an hour. Posted by an account with 5 million followers, the image spread faster than a real photo, which reached only 50,000 impressions, underscoring challenges in managing false content on the platform during significant events. FactCheckX has noted that the account responsible for the fake photo later shared a correction, though it received far less visibility, highlighting issues with platform algorithms favoring sensational content over factual updates.

Economy

TriColor Auto Group, a Texas-based automotive company, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy with liabilities exceeding $1 billion. The company, which operated multiple dealerships in Houston, has closed locations, and customers report being unable to contact representatives. The Houston Chronicle has noted that many customers are left without service support for their vehicles, highlighting the local impact of the closures.

In financial markets, BlackRock is reportedly exploring tokenized ETFs on blockchain platforms, following the performance of its Bitcoin funds. Similar moves by JPMorgan and others suggest potential changes in trading hours and collateral use in decentralized finance.

Separately, a Gallup poll indicates that public confidence in the value of higher education has dropped, with only 35% of Americans now considering college “very important,” compared to 75% in 2010, citing rising costs and questions about degree relevance. Despite this, some sources, including The Atlantic, argue that a college degree still offers long-term benefits like higher lifetime earnings, particularly in certain fields.

Health

Vaccine stocks, including those of Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna, declined on Friday following reports that the Trump administration intends to present data linking 25 child deaths to COVID-19 vaccines. The information, sourced from the federal VAERS database, is scheduled for review by a CDC advisory panel next week, which could impact vaccine recommendations and access. The CDC has clarified that correlation does not imply causation, and further investigation is needed to establish any direct link between the vaccines and the reported deaths, while health experts have also urged caution in interpreting the data.

Geopolitics

Tensions over Ukraine continue as President Trump warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that his patience is “running out,” threatening new sanctions and tariffs to encourage cease-fire talks. Trump noted mutual animosity between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as an obstacle to progress, while also seeking European support for secondary tariffs on countries like China and India. The Kremlin confirmed that peace negotiations are currently “on pause,” with spokesman Dmitry Peskov stating that contact continues but no immediate progress has been made. Zelensky reiterated his refusal to concede eastern territories, despite reports of Russian military advances and Putin’s alleged intent to occupy the Donbas region within months. Western allies, according to Reuters, are reportedly pushing for security guarantees for Ukraine, including a potential NATO reassurance force, though Russia has condemned such proposals as unfeasible.

Energy

America’s power grid is under strain from increasing demand driven by AI data centers, electric vehicles, and extreme weather, alongside aging infrastructure and retiring power plants. With 12.3 GW of capacity set to retire in 2025 and demand projected to grow, grid operators have raised concerns about reliability risks. Policy delays and permitting challenges are reportedly hindering upgrades, though investment in modernization and energy storage is seen as a potential solution. However, some experts cited by The Hill suggest that concerns about grid stability may be overstated, pointing to the grid’s resilience and ongoing adaptations by local utilities.

As they say, about damn time! What took them so long? Trump is finally investigating the Soros funded NGO’s across the country and is looking to charge him and his organizations with the RICO Act. I hope he doesn’t forget that George Soros has transferred his wealth to his son Alex to continue his work. He supposedly is marrying a former Hillary Clinton aide, Huma Abedin, a match truly made in Hell. Lets hope Alex and Huma decide not to procreate. We have enough demons on this planet.

She has been someone that has mostly stayed out of the limelight, but you see now she was driving force.

I can’t help to see how we don’t end up again in a full blown Civil War in the US. When you have a group of people (progressive/left) engaging in acts of violence and hate and that same group not only trying to cover up those acts but taking a step further and accusing the other side of hate and violence. I can’t see this ending well.

This could play out as the 2024 movie, Civil War. You might want to practice answering the question: “what kind of an American are you”?

Bluesky is where the progressives and leftists went when they couldn’t get their censorship ways on “X”.

This dolt made this remark on Bluesky: “Actress Amber Tamblyn called the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk a “public execution” and mocked that his young daughter witnessed the killing. In a post on BlueSky, she wrote “Wish granted” while sharing a 2024 Newsweek article where Kirk had discussed the idea of children witnessing public executions as a deterrent to crime.”

If true, the bubble economy inflated with easy bank loans and which produces nothing of actual value in proportion to its costs is literally sucking the baseline commodity required for nearly all industrial civilization to produce goods and services.

An excellent metaphor for the intersection of Money Magic and Techno-utopianism flushing productive work down the economic toilet because bankers want certain numbers to go up - the kind that centralize control of all flows of capital on earth.

We need to define the extreme left. Just talking about an undefined entity is meaningless and useless.
The extreme left consists of privileged people who live on other people’s money - the money of their parents and/or inherited money. So how does one address parental responsibilities of the likes of Bill Gates. How does one address the thinking of people who weasel their way into foundations and management of legacies. How many extreme leftists is Black Rock going to spawn and ultimately end up funding?

So, Ivy League grads, which is the easy way to spot the group you mentioned and federal and state white collar employees.

Wach carefully! I smell tactical positioning from the mainstream media and their leftist players.
If the say “…need for unity and non-violence across political divides…” that means they wanted to cool things down in order not to lose their mind manipulation grip on the sheeples.
If they cannot cool down the situation the divide will become obvious to the mass and what they have left is their radical army. Those radical actors will stand out of the mass like light poles in the night and the deception will become obvious for everyone (with some common sense left). At that point their plan of a (cultural) communist revolution in America will be over.

So, they don’t want to risk that. Hence watch out for this way of talk. It’s a cover up.

They can’t cool things down. They have created monsters out of mentally unbalanced youth that have zero maturity. I suspect this will get worst, particularly if the current administration and congress continue to think it will just get better.

Well, let’s hope.
Unfortunately, as I can clearly see it from the distance in Europe the “left monster” is still alive, in full swing and well fed.
