The fall general assembly of the USCCB lumbered into session last week at the Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore, as they do each November. The ponderous livestream of bishops, all doing their best to be flavorless, was, to say the least, somnolent. There were approximately two minutes of interest on day two, when Bishop Strickland stood up to make an intervention.

I've long thought that Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address," which he delivered on November 19, 1863, may be the most succinct and elegant speech ever written. I invariably think about it whenever I'm at a wedding or some other formal occasion and hear a windbag droning on for over five minutes with no structure, theme, or resolution.
Lincoln's speech is a 272-word masterpiece that he delivered in less than two minutes.

"The Soviet Union and something called communism per se had not been the object of Washington's global attacks. There had never been an International Communist Conspiracy. The enemy was, and remains, any government or movement, or even individual, that stands in the way of the expansion of the American Empire; by whatever name the US gives to the enemy - communist, rogue state, drug trafficker, terrorist."

President Trump's alliance with Israel is giving us Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun as Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism. The Special Envoy's job is to suppress free speech if it involves criticism of any Israeli policy, including the ongoing genocide of Palestine and its remaining people. Probably it will be considered anti-semitism to criticize the Trump regime for enabling with money, weapons, and diplomatic protection the genocide.

I had my last conversation with my MAGA supporting cousin in November of 2020. Until that point, he had led me to believe he cared for my immigrant family enough that he wouldn't cast a vote for a lying, treasonous xenophobe who had turned a call for violence into a campaign slogan.
But my cousin had been drinking and he let the truth slip out.

I may be in the minority, as my stances are in many matters, in the Tucker Carlson brouhaha, but it was only a matter of time before the Israeli lobby and the neocons would find a villain to help people forget 68,000 dead and counting in Gaza, most of them innocent women, children, and old people. They did the same thing to Pat Buchanan when he dared to say that the Israeli lobby and the U.S.

Donald Trump et Mohammed ben Salmane à la Maison Blanche.
Les États-Unis ouvrent la voie à la vente de F-35 à l'Arabie saoudite, une avancée stratégique pour MBS. Cette transaction remettrait en cause le principe de l'avantage militaire de Tel Aviv. En arrière-plan se pose aussi la question d'un éventuel rapprochement israélo-saoudien, encore conditionné par MBS à des garanties sur la cause palestinienne.

«Le nouveau maire musulman de New York : islam américain ou évolution américaine ?»
Lors d'un récent entretien avec le professeur Kevin Barrett, analyste politique et islamologue reconnu, nous avons examiné cette question en profondeur. Barrett a évoqué l'élection de Mamdani à la mairie de New York - malgré un climat d'islamophobie exacerbé et un lobbying sioniste influent - et a qualifié l'événement d'«inattendu» et de «politique».

Donald Trump a promulgué une loi autorisant la déclassification de documents liés à l'affaire Jeffrey Epstein, accusant le parti démocrate d'avoir caché la vérité pendant plusieurs années. Le texte prévoit que les pages des enquêtes soient rendues accessibles au public, dans un contexte de forte de

Pay-to-play schemes. Protection rackets. Extortion. Corruption. Self-enrichment. Graft. Grift. Brutality. Roaming bands of thugs smashing car windows and terrorizing communities. Immunity for criminal behavior coupled with prosecutions of whistleblowers.
This is how a crime syndicate operates-not a constitutional republic.
What we are witnessing today is the steady transformation of the federal government-especially the executive branch-into a criminalized system of power in which justice is weaponized, law is selectively enforced, and crime becomes a form of political currency.
De la censure d'un rapport sur la surveillance intérieure par la CIA à la couverture de la guerre des Contras, en passant par son rôle dans le lancement de la guerre contre le terrorisme, Dick Cheney a consacré sa vie à faire en sorte que l'État américain puisse tuer, espionner et torturer en toute impunité.

«Tais-toi la truie !» à l'une, «vous êtes une personne horrible» à l'autre : Donald Trump s'en est pris violemment à deux journalistes à quelques jours d'écart, menaçant notamment mardi d'interdire de diffusion la chaîne ABC News à cause de questions qui l'ont rendu furieux.
À bord de l'avion présidentiel Air Force One vendredi dernier, Donald Trump a été interrogé sur l'affaire Epstein, dans laquelle son gouvernement se trouve empêtré depuis plusieurs mois.
Brèves de crise
a rapidité et la candeur brejnévienne des votes du Congrès rejoint, dans l'affaire Epstein, les extraordinaires manœuvres à 180° du président Trump. Fait extraordinaire : les deux chambres ont voté l'une immédiatement après l'autre et les deux votes ont été acquis à l'unanimité (sauf 1 pour la Chambre, mais on s'abstiendra de chipoter).
Cette démonstration d'unité et d'unanimité ne trompera personne, sauf les divers zombies de nos élites qui croient obligés de croire encore à la vérité des votes.

Nima et moi discutons de ces questions. Nous n'abordons pas la question de savoir si Epstein a été assassiné, qui est pourtant au cœur du problème. S'il a été assassiné, pourquoi ? Epstein a-t-il été tué parce qu'il menaçait de révéler qu'il dirigeait une opération de chantage, et non un réseau de trafic sexuel ? A-t-il été assassiné parce qu'il détenait des informations compromettantes sur trop d'Américains influents ? La CIA l'a-t-elle fait assassiner en représailles à l'espionnage des États-Unis par Israël ?

Donald Trump reçoit Mohammed ben Salmane.
Trump et MBS ont offert une démonstration inhabituelle de transparence, abordant les dossiers sensibles. La rencontre a mis en lumière un rapport de force rééquilibré, MBS obtenant visibilité et concessions symboliques. Riyad cherche désormais à ancrer sa relation avec Washington autour des technologies stratégiques.

Financial Separation is the only answer short of Civil War.
Communist Cities and individuals are being funded by Federal Taxes collected from those who work, contrary to the Enumerated Powers in the Constitution. This is a standard but intolerable situation for those who work, especially MAGA. When the economy really tanks, or sooner, the productive workers will show their displeasure, likely with "extreme prejudice", with using their tax money to fund those who won't and don't work.

There are no easy fights in the struggle against the empire. Lots of losses and no clean wins.
You spend years protesting the genocide in Gaza, and you get a fake, shitty "ceasefire" deal that's just designed to shut you up while Israel continues creating hell for the Palestinians and carving off more pieces of their territory.
Humanity manages to avoid nuclear conflict at the most dangerous points of the Ukraine war, but the country continues getting torn apart for years in an idiotic bloodbath that could have been easily avoided with a little diplomacy and common sense.

Last night President Trump stated on his Truth Social account that he is reversing course in the matter of the Epstein files and now supports their full release.
Lately I've been wondering if the hypothesis that Epstein's primary weapon was the use of underage girls may, to some extent, be a red herring.
While underage girls were likely a part of some of his operations, I imagine a scenario in which Epstein (or his masters) also used the representation that underage girls were present at social gatherings to amplify the force of their blackmail operation.

Nima and I discuss these issues. We do not discuss whether Epstein was murdered, which is the question at the heart of the matter. If he was murdered, why? Was Epstein murdered because he threatened to reveal that he was running a blackmail operation, not a sex-trafficking operation? Was he murdered because he had the dirt on too many elite Americans? Did the CIA have him murdered as revenge for Israel's spying on the US?
