Good news on the consumer front, the prices are about to come back to us. Major sellers are using “marketplaces”, IE: ebay, to remain more competitive. Walmart has one, and I just shopped at Best Buy. I read the fine print; “orders split in two because one is coming from a marketplace seller”.
The marketplace logic was mandatory to counter Amazon (who makes profits 2 ways) and is highly effective. And check this out… I am just buying cabling for my POE; 3.5 audio extension, and USB A extension – I got free shipping on both at Best Buy; (hello). I had to empty my cart at another place they wanted $29 for shipping the same items.
I sincerely feel the market coming our way. Keep being frugal!
I am referring to the fabric of America, of course. You know you can speculate until the cows come home, as I myself have been doing with regards to President Trump. I have been speculating that he came back for revenge in his second term, unsubstantiated – naturally.
You see, the one thing Europe does not have is a unified intelligence body. What they do have is “EU INTCEN“, a civilian intelligence body under the European External Action Service (EEAS), which analyzes intelligence shared voluntarily by member states. So, we do not call that a shortcoming, rather a work in progress. I am pretty sure the term ‘civilian’ does not hold its natural context.
In March of 2025, in one of Trumps world famous pressure moves to get Ukraine to the negotiating table; the United States suspended sharing battlefield information with Ukraine.
The decision sparked bipartisan concern in Congress. Even some of Trump’s allies, like Senator Lindsey Graham, expressed alarm about the long-term consequences of cutting off intelligence support to Ukraine.
So, this is probably when the EU officially began dropping a monster load.
European leaders reacted with alarm and urgency to the U.S. decision to suspend battlefield intelligence sharing with Ukraine in 2025, viewing it as a major strategic rupture and a wake-up call for European defense autonomy.
Europe rushed-in to try to bolster what America had just withdrawn, a signal to the end of support. But a much wider signal to Europe that, you are on your own.
French President Emmanuel Macron declared that Europe can no longer rely on the U.S. and proposed extending France’s nuclear deterrent to cover European allies. This marked a dramatic shift in European strategic posture and drew sharp criticism from the Kremlin.
This kick-off took place back in March, fast-forward January 2026. “US invades Venezuela.”
As America becomes unstitched, we have a very rational man on Pennsylvania Avenue now totally unhinged. In this case, fools very much should, rush in. Donald Trump is yelling “fire”, in a crowded room. No smoke, no flames…
[do not smile, shake my hand, show me how big your chest is (M&F), if you do not have courage. your legacy, not mine. will your grandchildren bear pride or shame? you decide]

Objected to “Trump Administration takeover” and renaming of the center
The big question is what does this do to Iran? I mean they are going to have to kiss Trump’s ass, at some point. Better sooner rather than later.
President Trump has opened the doors to a new era of global aggression. There is no leader in the world right now confident in their nation’s security posture.
President Trump turned on America, when they stole an election. He has turned peace on its head after not winning the Nobel Peace prize.
How safe is it when any country in the world is left without a leader? The Vice President is waiting on Trump’s command. Maybe Trump should rule that country, as well.
These actions by the United States, clearly rival the rise and dominance of Adolf Hitler (it must be said).
[the tools have been given to us that are necessary in this situation. you must have courage to use them. Americans are now officially weak, ruled by a king, again. the uk is already a police state. we make the first two]
[if president Trump had a plan, why did he take potentially innocent lives in the alleged drug boats? if they actually knew they would take Maduro, why take unnecessary lives? he could have let that money go, and focus on the prize. Maduro gets due process, but not the niggers – they die. murder she wrote]
[Trump has a taste of murder. he will better understand BiBi]
[Trumps indecisiveness gave Putin time to get to Rodriguez first. Obama had that same problem]
[Zelenskyy has a message for Trump; when you take out one mob boss they get replaced by another. Venezuela’s front door is wide open. If not Putin, the president of Columbia has her. he understands diplomacy, although they want to put him in league with Arafat or Gaddafi.]
[the term cartel gets bandied about a bit. cartel’s do not give-up without a fight. and they do not sleep]
[America has the same problem in Trump, that Venezuela had in Maduro]
She will not fear Trump. For Trump that is a problem. Their constitution says she is the leader. And she can run for president.
Without a doubt the threat is real. The threat is from ecology, aimed squarely at capitalism.
Free buses are proven to increase ridership over 100%. Less cars on the road, less air pollution.
It is the duty of the capitalist Donald Trump to turn this social innovation, for the people, into another Iran.
But we do not care about those who oppose us. Children of the light will always extend a hand to the greater good. The reason we will continue marching forward within our independence is because good men do not cower in the face of any evil oppressor.
The article is about a city in France, offering free bus rides to all citizens – and the benefits they reap. Mayor Mamdani was elected on a platform with similar ideas.
We shall watch accurately to see if he is able to maintain his independent thought. Or wither and rot, another typical politician?
Now that we are doing so well with our rare earth colonization. I have one question. If you could only choose one between drinking water and rare earth minerals, which would you choose?
At least 25 countries—home to one-quarter of the world’s population—face “extremely high” water stress annually, with recent crises reported in parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. These include both lack of access and contaminated supply, often with deadly consequences.
I have already reported on Mexico, where the residents beside the big foosball stadium have no drinking water. The president was mayor. She did not sleep her way to the top, but it’s real close.
Now Indians are dying from tap water. We have solutions. There are water trucks in existence today that capture the humidity to drink. Where are our leaders.
The difference: rare earths make money, water does not. “People, can die – we need to make money”. But they do not actually say this, that would be too callous. They pretend as though the people being damaged do not exist.
Yes, I see Italy is struggling as well. However, she is addressing aging infrastructure – with pace. I only mention Italy because she is a large donor to the document below. So, Italy’s leadership becomes visible for all to see, kudos.
Fortunately, my water comes from The High Plains Aquifer, which also is beginning to struggle.
Different question; which has more value – peace, or water? How we spend our time is crucial. This world will never know peace. And time is a terrible thing to waste.
Are you getting what we need out of your leadership choices? Or are you just a piece in somebody’s political jigsaw puzzle?
America has been trying to recreate it, since 1979 – when just like man’s visit to the moon the first time, we failed to capitalize on the achievement.
We also failed to capitalize on the USSR breakdown. Humans do possess the intelligence and forward thinking, and innovation – a plenty. But they are controlled by the capitalists. Who I am certain are looking forward to a new cold war as a new era of extended social controls. Nothing about society says “liberty” anymore.
President Trump is threatening Iran about killing the latest protestor’s, which the US probably initiated.
The Middle East is uncontrollable by the West. But we keep trying. Why, because every attempt sends a trillion dollars to the defense industry. We are pretending to be dumb, to make more money. I pray God makes real our offer.
Of course, Iran is going to kill all the protestors. They always do. But they will only kill Iranians. The initiators have an escape route. They are only there to promote the death of others (coward).
Iran is going to send out death squads in the night wearing all black, like always.
The world is silently building coalitions against Trump. They will kiss his ass in public. He will be caught-out at some point. The streets do not change.
My first thoughts are for the tragedy at the Swiss ski resort bar fire, where I understand dozens died. Godspeed to the survivors, may your loved ones rest in peace.
My second thoughts return to AI. I am a process man. Processes and business models are always running concurrent to my creativity, streaming in my head.
So the solution to the PCIe problem is open-client, a shared foundation. I briefly thought I was receiving something superior in ChatGPT. A deep dive revealed the same flaws as Copilot. They are both good, well designed – to a point.
Because of open-client, they share the same “point”. If they are derived from the same base model, my experience tells me that you cannot separate them at the application level. You know that does not compute.
I already pay for Copilot with my Microsoft membership, which does have rewards. Paying for ChatGPT in this scenario is illogical.
AI is a fairly good invention, because it was released prematurely ($). It is very useful if you respect the boundaries, due diligence is down to you. Remember I told you. Consider AI as your program. You have to code due diligence, which is possible – but it multiplies the I/O’s by a factor of 10. The I/O’s (input-output) are slowed down by the bus rate (under-developed). Six in one-hand, half-dozen in the other. I might be wrong. I just like the way it sounds. The beauty, there again, is that the human is now the bus controlling I/O (hmmm), but only effective in a personal use scenario.
[I have also found that using one continuous conversation causes it to, frazzle. when you change the subject, change the conversation]
The policy is very confusing. The battles rage fierce to extend the Affordable Health Care Act. In the meantime, President Trump donates $480 Mil for health care to the Ivory Coast.
He is saying FU to America in plain English. Make no mistake; you are his bitch.
ACA expires tomorrow (22 million Americans impacted. While he and BiBi have grown fond of Black people. The only thing Whites have done for Blacks is use them)
