It appears that the energy crisis stemming from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict is already having an impact even within the US. In a recent move, the Indiana state government suspended fuel taxes to help mitigate the crisis's effects, as the region faces an energy emergency.
What it's really about.

It is damn obvious that Washington has lost Donald Trump's idiotic war on Iran. After all, it is now five months since the opening salvos of Operation Epic Fury on February 28, which was advertised to last only 3-4 weeks. Instead, the conflict has settled into a grinding, inconclusive stalemate at best, and, more importantly, a strategic fiasco that reveals the bankruptcy of America's entire Empire-based foreign policy.

I went back and reviewed an essay I wrote in Feb. 2024 about Anthony Fauci's forthcoming memoir, On Call: A Doctor's Service, which was published by Viking a few months later to rave reviews such as the following:
In the six years since Covid broke out, there has not been any autopsy of the bishops'-and Pope Francis'-decisions during that time.

The United States Senate will soon vote whether to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer a Senate committee's questions. On July 29, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs held a hearing in which Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination when asked about decisions he made during his tenure as Covid Czar.

The EO Is a Cheap Distraction
Donald Trump's executive order on vaccines is a stage prop, not a shield. The administration can sign all the paper it wants, but the FDA, the CDC, and Big Pharma have ignored executive orders before, and they will ignore this one too. Executive orders are not laws, and the unelected bureaucrats who run the vaccine machinery know it.

The recent Senate Hearings (2026) highlighted the fact that Dr. Fauci's diary entries contradict many of his previous public statements on NIAID funding at Wuhan and the actual origins of the pandemic. Left totally unresolved, however, is the nefarious role of several private universities and U.S. intelligence agencies in all of this deadly nonsense.
Beginning around 2002-and then continuing despite the Obama Administration's explicit prohibitions on the funding of "gain of function" (GOF) research in 2015-there were dozens of grants by the NIH and the NIAID to researchers at the University of North Carolina (Dr.

Le mythe fondateur de l'identité politique de Donald Trump repose depuis longtemps sur une illusion soigneusement entretenue faite de bravade physique, d'une incroyable brutalité et de mépris pour ses adversaires.
Alors que les réalités concrètes de la campagne militaire ratée de Washington au Moyen-Orient continuent à faire surface, le fossé entre ses postures théâtrales et son réel comportement de chef de l'exécutif a été mis à nu.

Le journaliste Tucker Carlson, aujourd'hui le plus écouté aux États-Unis, a dénoncé l'addiction à la guerre de sa propre patrie. Avec le groupe de personnalités qui se rassemblent derrière lui, il espère désintoxiquer les États-Unis de leur maladie.

Un litige en matière de licences concernant la livraison des missiles Patriot à l'Ukraine peut révéler un problème plus profond que la simple sécurité technologique. Plusieurs facteurs empêchent, en fait, la livraison de ces missiles à Kiev. Les capacités de défense de l'Ukraine sont ainsi totalement réduites.
L'Ukraine ne peut plus assurer sa défense du ciel.

Those who challenge and protest U.S. policies are not foreign-paid terrorists; Rubio and other Trump appointees are using "McCarthy" tactics to stop dissent, says Ann Wright.
Thin-skinned and heavy-handed, the Trump administration apparently feels like it is being singled out by those who dissent from its policies. As a result, Trump appointees are taking drastic "McCarthy" tactics to stop dissent.
Le chef de la minorité au Sénat américain, Chuck Schumer, a prononcé un réquisitoire cinglant contre l'offensive militaire imprudente et non autorisée du président Donald Trump contre l'Iran, la qualifiant de guerre illégale qui est en train d'être perdue et qui met en danger la vie des Américains tout en faisant grimper les coûts pour les citoyens ordinaires.
Donald Trump nous a entraînés dans une guerre illégale qu'il est en train de perdre et à laquelle il n'a aucune issue, a écrit Schumer sur X lundi.

L'Iran... message reçu
Vous demandez : pourquoi Achille a-t-il traîné Hector trois fois autour de la ville de Troie ?
Réponse : Il était tout simplement furieux.
Il en va de même pour le président DJ Trump et les fanatiques djihadistes intransigeants qui entraînent l'Iran dans un cul-de-sac.

Une commission sénatoriale américaine inflige un revers cinglant à Anthony Fauci, le "sauveur de l'humanité". Jeudi dernier, ses membres l'ont jugé coupable d'entrave aux prérogatives d'enquête du Congrès. Un verdict lourd de sens pour l'ancien visage de la lutte contre le Covid-19, aujourd'hui âgé de 85 ans.
Tout part d'une audition tendue devant le Sénat, la semaine précédente.

Most would agree that Tucker Carlson is honest, intelligent, and the most effective commentator in the country. But that will not be enough to win with a third party, even though politicians in the Democratic and Republican Parties have been proven to be greedy Liars and Traitors who have brought the country to the brink of Economic Ruin and Nuclear Obliteration.

According to a Wall Street Journal report citing US officials, President Trump has been privately weighing the possibility of declaring victory against Iran and ending the war without securing a nuclear deal,.
Trump reportedly has floated to senior aides that if the US can keep Iran's nuclear program in check and traffic resumes through the Strait of Hormuz, he would be willing to extend the ceasefire "indefinitely" and effectively declare the conflict over.

Although few Americans have heard of the National Science Foundation (NSF), fewer still have heard of the National Science Board (NSB).
The NSF is "an independent federal agency that supports science and engineering in all 50 states and U.S. territories." It was established in 1950 to "promote the progress of science,"advance the national health, prosperity and welfare, and secure the national defense."It fulfills its mission"chiefly by making grants."Its budget request for the upcoming fiscal year 2027 is $3.41 billion.

It's premature, but Trump may be following my advice on Iran. All I did was lay out a path of least resistance, and in my experience, this is the most likely path followed by man and state. The trick is to perceive how how the "state" views "least resistance," and how it defines "easier."
DC consistently does the easy thing, choosing immediate pleasantries over its peasants, preferring to borrow for wars and nice drapes over building for the next generation.

Washington should give the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement a chance.
Heatwarming scenes out of Mecca Friday: After the conclusion of a defense pact between Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, those countries' respective leaders powwowed in a high-rise conference room to get themselves photographed praying towards the Kaaba. The beef over the Saudi dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi in Turkish territory is just a dim memory.
Le sénateur américain Chris Murphy a livré une analyse cinglante de la guerre en cours contre l'Iran, soulignant que le président Donald Trump "a perdu cette guerre", et avertissant que chaque jour où les combats se poursuivent, les États-Unis s'affaiblissent tandis que l'Iran se renforce.
Dans un entretien accordé à NBC News, le sénateur démocrate du Connecticut a estimé que le gouvernement américain était confronté à une réalité stratégique grave, appelant à mettre immédiatement fin aux hostilités, même si cela implique d'accepter des conditions très défavorables.
