Le président américain a sévèrement critiqué son ancien conseiller après que le magnat de la technologie a annoncé son intention de financer le soi-disant America Party.
L'homme le plus riche du monde a annoncé la création de l'America Party dans une série de messages publiés récemment sur X, anciennement Twitter, le réseau social qui fait partie de son empire privé.
MAGA contre lui-même
par Georges Feltin-Tracol
Animateur-vedette d'une émission de télé-réalité de 2004 à 2015, The Apprentice, Donald Trump aurait été observé avec attention et curiosité par Guy Debord. Sa maîtrise des codes médiatiques qu'il détourne et dévoie volontiers suscite un intérêt constant sur sa personne. Cet attrait médiatique toujours renouvelé lui est plus que jamais nécessaire alors que les premières fissures apparaissent dans le mouvement MAGA.
Brèves de crise
Qui pouvait imaginer cela, il y a, disons, deux-trois mois ? Que les foules MAGA, emplies de partisans du MAGA de Trump, accueilleraient le président dans cet immense stade du New Jersey plein à craquer en le huant dans un effrayant vacarme de divorce furieux ? Que la présentatrice de FoxNews Laura Ingraham, intervieweuse favorite de Trump parlant à la conférence ‘Turning Point, USA' réunissant des foules de jeunes républicains, ardents partisans de MAGA, donc de Trump par conséquent, – non ?...
The once-promising diplomatic path will be more difficult to walk in the aftermath.

On June 23, the United States helped to end a war that it helped to start and that never should have happened.
Catching almost everyone, including some top officials in the Trump administration, by surprise, Trump suddenly posted, "It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE!" Unheralded, the emir and the prime minister of Qatar reportedly played a key role in getting Iran to agree to the ceasefire.

Donald Trump lors de la tentative d'assassinat en Pennsylvanie, à l'occasion d'un meeting de campagne durant l'été 2024.
Un an après la tentative d'assassinat de Donald Trump, le 13 juillet 2024 à Butler, un rapport sénatorial dénonce les «erreurs inexcusables» du Secret Service. Une «cascade d'erreurs évitables» a failli coûter la vie au président, selon l'enquête.

All government intervention is bad, but the income tax is a particularly insidious form of evil. As the great libertarian theorist Frank Chodorov wrote in 1954: "With this definition of 'evil' in mind, it is the purpose of this book [The Income Tax: Root of All Evil] to show that many laws and governmental practices are impregnated with it, and to trace this wholesale infringement of our rights to the power acquired by the federal government in 1913 to tax our incomes-the Sixteenth Amendment.

Everywhere, power is exerted over people's life, liberty, and property by governments.
Limiting Governments
In tribes, power was exerted by chiefs. In larger agricultural civilizations, power was exerted by kings. The person who used the most power reigned.
In Israel initially, laws were given by God and administered by judges, and collective self-defense was organized under military leaders.

Like a child with his new favorite toy at Christmas, President Trump is using tariff taxes not only to attempt to centrally plan the pricing of thousands of goods and services in the economy, but also to engage in election interference in other countries. The latter statement refers to how he recently put the government of Brazil on notice that 50 percent tariff taxes would be imposed on Brazilian imports to the U.S.

Jack Callahan was frying rainbow trout on his camp stove along the Upper Sacramento when the news broke on his iPhone. California's Caligula was at it again, crying about federal agents doing what they're supposed to do-enforce the law.
This time, Gavin Newsom was throwing his slick-haired tantrum over immigration raids at marijuana farms where ten children were found working illegally.

Like a trailer park after a line of tornadoes, the landscape is littered with debris from awful presidencies. But few opportunities have been as wasted as the one Donald Trump is squandering. This shouldn't be surprising.
Six months ago he re-entered office, bearing specific promises and broad support. The hope was that he'd learned lessons about the nature of the presidency, and about political enemies who use nefarious means to preserve their power.

Matt Smith: All right. Good morning, Doug. Lots happening these days. I'd love to get your take on-I think starting with the Epstein case. Case closed, apparently. What do you think? What's going on?
Doug Casey: Well, where to start on this thing? It's so ultra disappointing, so embarrassing, and so serious that it's hard to figure out where to begin.

If one thinks that arming Ukraine against Russia or having Israeli soldiers and also American contractors slaughter Gazan civilians are not supportive of any United States actual interests, last week could easily be written off as yet another descent into Hell on the part of the United States. Americans and others should have the right to criticize how the Israelis wage war without being denounced and criminalized by governments that have been corrupted from the inside, most often by money, but that is exactly what is going on in the US and in select countries in Europe.

As Epstein was murdered to keep him quiet, it was obvious no files would be released. AG Bondi said she had the files and videos and was going through them. But then the men in black paid a visit, and suddenly there were no files. Moreover, the authorities concluded that Epstein committed suicide in his prison cell. So we are left with the puzzle, there is no evidence that Epstein did anything wrong, so he committed suicide for no reason.

The Trump administration, which won the 2024 election promising libertarian smaller government and an end to endless wars, has summarily dumped its libertarian promises. Elon Musk has split from the administration after spending several months identifying myriad opportunities to cut federal spending under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The "Big, Beautiful Bill" has replaced those cuts with spending increases that will outpace those under the previous Democratic administration, as every Republican administration of my lifetime has done.

All hail our blurt-worthy President! On a daily basis, he does his part to reveal the stained wife beater worn underneath the Empire's fraying costume.
The United States empire already consumes 40% of what we make, more if you consider its nonstop borrowing from future taxpayers. It regulates and controls much of the non-state economy, and is frenetically militarizing in every direction.

They both blame 'the other side', when, actually, EACH of the 'two sides' (which together constitute the entire public) is being controlled by the mere thousand-or-so super-wealthy few individuals who - because of their control over the 'news'-media, politicians, think tanks, etc. - effectively control public opinion, and so control the Government in this 'democracy' and benefit from it even when the public (both the liberals and the conservatives) are being harmed by it.

The domestic situation in America continues to spiral out of control, Robert Bridge writes.
In recent days, global attention has been focused on the explosive events in the Middle East and Ukraine, and that helps people to forget about the domestic situation in America that continues to spiral out of control.
Evidence that the American people are slowly starting to awaken from a deep stupor known as 'the American Dream' began in earnest on June 12 as Democratic Senator for California Alex Padilla stormed a speaking event by the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and was quickly arrested by federal agents.

Le refus de l'administration Trump de divulguer les dossiers et les vidéos sur Epstein tend non seulement à protéger Trump, mais tout autant la classe dirigeante. Ils font tous partie du même club.
Le refus de l'administration Trump de divulguer les dossiers et les vidéos accumulés durant les enquêtes sur les activités du pédophile Jeffrey Epstein sonne le glas de l'idée absurde, soutenue par les partisans de Trump et les libéraux crédules, selon laquelle Trump démantèlerait l'État profond.
