In Sheffield, England, a group of schools under the organization of Notre Dame High School, designated as a British national teaching school to lead the training of teachers, has developed an "anti-racism" curriculum for seven year old kids that teaches that blacks cannot be racist towards white people, because racism can only be expressed by whites who hold cultural power over black people.

We love to mind each other's business. And, unlike our benighted ancestors of a hundred years ago, we have just the tool to do it. I'm holding it in my hand, and most of you have it in yours.

Has any century started worse than this one?

It's a question typical of our short-sighted, self-centered, attention-deprived age. The answer seems obvious, and can be sought by looking a hundred years into the rearview mirror.

Le Sénat américain a fait progresser mardi une résolution sur les pouvoirs de guerre visant à exiger l'autorisation du Congrès pour toute poursuite de l'agression militaire américaine contre l'Iran.

Les sénateurs républicains Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski et Rand Paul ont voté en faveur de l'avancement de la résolution.

Le jeune garçon qui a inspiré à Ésope son conte "L'enfant qui criait au loup" (également connu sous le nom de "Le jeune berger et le loup") a grandi et occupe aujourd'hui le poste de président des États-Unis. Depuis le 28 février 2026, Donald Trump a publié 11 déclarations suggérant la fin de la guerre contre l'Iran ou l'imminence d'un accord de paix, mais toutes se sont avérées n'être qu'un canular.

• Une autre appréciation, cette fois d'un homme de très grande qualité, à la grande finesse psychologique. • Alastair Crooke envisage la rencontre entre Trump et Xi sous l'angle de l'évident effondrement de la puissance américaniste, homme de plus en plus seul (quand on est allié et prisonnier d'Israël, on est seul), homme de plus en plus errant dans sa folie.

America's top spy agency is making headlines for allegedly going rogue - again. A member of Congress and a CIA employee accused the clandestine agency this week of seizing dozens of boxes with classified documents that were slated to be declassified in accordance with a presidential executive order.

"Internal Coup"

On Wednesday, Florida Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna published a social media post endorsing a report that the CIA seized dozens of boxes of classified information about the John F.

Axios cites "classified intelligence" warning "Cuba has reportedly procured more than 300 attack drones from Russia and Iran" that will be used "against the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, U.S. military vessels, and even Key West, Florida."

A senior U.S. official highlighted the seriousness of the situation, stating, "Considering such technologies so close to us, combined with various dangerous actors like terrorist groups, drug cartels, Iranians, and Russians, it is concerning.

It's an undeniable fact that many of the most famous or infamous historical quotes are actually incorrect, having been distorted, garbled, or even entirely invented.

For example, the former president of General Motors never said "What's good for GM is good for America."

Voltaire never said "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

After Kevin Warsh was confirmed as Federal Reserve chairman last week, he received a stark reminder of the challenges facing the central bank. The reminder came in the form of a worldwide surge in the interest rates paid by government bonds. The surge followed the spike in oil prices caused by the Iran War.

The rise in bond yields comes along with the news that, according to government statistics (which are manipulated to understate the real rate of inflation), consumer prices increased by 3.8 percent over the past year while wages increased by 3.6 percent.

Dans Naked Capitalism, Yves Smith soutient depuis un certain temps que seuls "les marchés" empêchent le président américain Donald Trump de lancer de nouvelles attaques contre l'Iran.

"Les marchés" veulent d'abord dire le marché obligataire où tout effondrement signifierait une baisse des bons du Trésor, des taux d'intérêt plus élevés et des problèmes pour les États-Unis pour financer leur dette.

Washington autorise pour 30 jours certaines opérations liées à des livraisons de pétrole russe déjà chargé en mer. Présentée comme une mesure destinée aux pays les plus vulnérables, cette dérogation intervient dans un contexte de fortes tensions sur le marché énergétique mondial et confirme le rôle toujours important des approvisionnements russes.

President Donald Trump is back from his business trip to China which had a lot of ambiguity over issues like Taiwan without having done either much discernible damage or benefit to American interests. The trip ended with the American participants dropping all the gifts that they had received from the Chinese into a large garbage bin on the tarmac before they boarded their plane.

The Beijing circus is over and Donald Trump's talks with Xi Jinping produced nothing more than some pleasing photo ops and some performative diplomacy with no substantive accomplishments.

There was no final communique at the end of Trump's two days of meetings with Xi Jinping. Instead, we are left to rely on the statements from each government. When you parse the two statements, the two readouts diverge significantly, and the gaps are as informative as the overlaps.

For those who might have been out of the loop over the past few months, there is a war going on between the US and Europe. Largely, it's western European governments that are the problem - They started the conflict, they continue to perpetuate the conflict, and they tend to cry victim when they suffer any consequences for it.

It's clear that the European elites have a distaste for US policy.
