In a press conference in the Oval Office last week, Donald Trump stated that he wants to keep home prices high. In the past, Trump has stated that he may declare a housing "state of emergency" on the issue of historically high housing prices. When asked for specifics last week, Trump stated that he's interested in making it possible for young people to buy homes.

Donald Trump as the Emperor Caligula
Last week I'd published an article noting the considerable similarities between the reign of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula and the second term of our own President Donald Trump.
According to the ancient sources, Caligula had best been known for proclaiming himself a living god and for declaring that he would appoint his horse to the consulship, the highest office of the Roman state.

This is the most wonderful time of the year, as the song reminds us. The bright lights, the holiday treats, and the timeless music. I've seen more homes with elaborate, Chevy Chase-style lighting this year. Maybe it's a silent way of rebelling against a system that frowns on Nativity scenes and actual Christmas Carols.
I understand the reason for the season.

The decorations and gifts of Christmas are one of our connections to a Christian culture that has held Western civilization together for 2,000 years.
In our culture the individual counts. This permits an individual person to put his or her foot down, to take a stand on principle, to become a reformer, and to take on injustice.
This empowerment of the individual is unique to Western civilization.

Allowing parents to educate their own children at home puts them at risk of all sorts of problems and abuses without massive state "oversight," declared an anti-homeschooling activist this week in the establishment mouthpiece of record. Home education is now firmly in the crosshairs of the educational totalitarians amid a push to create a police state.
Christmas, for Christians, is primarily about our only true home, which is to be found in Heaven, the gates of which were opened by the coming of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

There's no place like home for the holidays. So sang Perry Como in the popular Christmas hit of 1954, and so sings Perry Como and numerous other singers every year on countless "holiday" channels on the radio throughout the Advent season, right through until the advent of Christmas itself.

Is the Trump presidency going to be remembered only for rebranding the Epstein files as the "Clinton Files"?
"The photos depict a web of unsavoury relationships and associations that complicate both Democratic efforts to keep the focus on Trump and the incumbent president's desire to move on from the issue entirely," reported the AP when the first major tranche of photos from the so-called Epstein files was released in mid-December.

Readers of this publication will no doubt already be of the opinion that the economic future of the First World in general and of America in particular is headed inexorably downward. What many disagree on is how America will behave after the Great Unraveling has occurred - after the next crash of the stock market, the defaults on debt, hyperinflation, etc.

Maybe someone should tell Trump that battleships are history.
Literally.
They became obviously obsolete some 84 years ago, when carrier-based Japanese airplanes sank several of them at Pearl Harbor. Those, of course, were literally sitting ducks. And they were all old battleships, dating back to WW I.
But the German battleship Bismarck was state of the art when she was crippled while maneuvering out in the open ocean, firing her main and secondary armament futilely at slow-flying WW I-era biplanes sicc'd at her by the pursuing British.

America's top intelligence chief recently said that Western warmongers are trying to inflame a wider war with Russia and drag the United States into it.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Saturday in a social-media post that "warmongers" are creating propaganda to gin up fear, hysteria, and support for "the escalation of war" in Ukraine.

On December 18, Trump's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, welcomed the return of neoliberal "reform" in Bolivia after nearly two decades of socialist rule. "We applaud President [Rodrigo] Paz's historic efforts to open Bolivia to the world by committing to meaningful reforms to attract international investment," Rubio said in a statement.

Calling the overthrow of Yanukovych a U.S. coup is true, and extremely important.
26.Feb.2023
Eric Zuesse
On February 25th, Elon Musk tweeted "That election was arguably dodgy, but no question that there was indeed a coup." By "That election," he was referring to Viktor Yanukovych's having won the Presidency of Ukraine in an election about which even the British Guardian newspaper had headlined on 8 February 2010, "Yanukovych set to become president as observers say Ukraine election was fair", and it made clear that even Western international observers there were testifying to the authenticity of that electoral win by Yanukovych, such as by its reporting that, "Observers from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said there were no indications of serious fraud and described the vote as an 'impressive display' of democracy." However, Elon Musk, without citing any evidence, was now saying otherwise: that Yanukovych's win had been "arguably dodgy" - and (despite that tweet) he provided no argument at all to back up that 'arguably' allegation.

One by one, as though on a conga line for the Democratic National Committee, our bishops last November recited a scripted Instagram paean to illegal immigration. Moreover, at the end of their recent November meeting, it was reported that they also, by overwhelming majority, huffed and puffed: "We oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of peoples."
I. Introduction - Qu'est-ce que la stratégie américaine ?
1. Comment la « stratégie » américaine s'est-elle fourvoyée
Pour s'assurer que l'Amérique reste le pays le plus fort, le plus riche, le plus puissant et le plus prospère du monde pour les décennies à venir, notre pays a besoin d'une stratégie cohérente et ciblée sur la manière dont nous interagissons avec le monde. Et pour y parvenir, tous les Américains doivent savoir exactement ce que nous essayons de faire et pourquoi.

24 décembre 2025 (03h30) - La première chose à noter est que l'intervention de Tulsi Gabbard a fait énormément de bruit par rapport au désintérêt compulsif et hystérique dont elle est d'habitude entourée comme personne mise à l'index, et a été signalé avec empressement et considération, notamment chez des dissidents divers et youtube . La seconde remarque concerne le contenu de ce qu'elle a dit, et notamment le fait qu'elle ait cité de façon officielle en tant que DNI, parmi les adversaires masqués de la recherche de la paix le très-fameux 'Deep State', ou "État profond".

Late last week, Congress passed and President Trump signed the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill marks the first time the US military budget officially passed the one trillion dollar mark.
Of course, when you add in other military-related spending such as interest on the debt, veterans' affairs, and military components of other government agencies, the true number is at least one and a half times that amount.

I wish I could find my white privilege. All I can find is my white burden. Shrinking middle-class incomes are burdened with the upkeep of millions of illegals who, with the help of Democrats, have overrun our country and with the burden of supporting 42 million Americans on SNAP benefits, which amounts to a form of communism. Redistribution is now the means of sustaining a population 1/4 the size of the American workforce.
