A tacit admission from Trump that the Iranian nuclear program wasn’t actually “obliterated” by the previous U.S. air strikes (as he claimed at the time).

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

Potential impact if Europe fail to support Ukraine. The lack of funding and feeling of betrayal might cause the Ukrainian armed forces to collapse. The results would be another 5 - 10M refugees flooding western Europe, a Russia that controls Ukrainian industry and a Russian advance far into the EU.

The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.

What we do makes a difference. It might seem pointless or hopeless... But in the words of Tesco "Every bit helps".. Spread onto other platforms as well if you can (I'll most likely be there - and can follow and boost fellow fellas)

‼️ Russia: The Russian Ministry of Finance has created a new bond AND new issues off OLD bonds (again) The total face value of these new issues are 1 trillion rubles. But it is unlikely to generate that much revenue. Here are the details

CNBC: Do you think we are starting to see a real slowdown in the jobs market? HASSETT: Yeah, I think the jobs numbers were slower than we expected

This fall will be the first big stress test for US clothing retailers. Trump announced his first big round of tariff hikes on April 2 ("Liberation Day"), after most stores received their spring/summer deliveries. It's an open question how they will handle fall/winter deliveries with 10-145% tariffs.

Tomak is turning a bit of a train graveyard. 4 or 5 hit in so many days. And by hit I mean they disabled the engine and then gave the whole train a right pommel

Russia’s economy faces a worsening outlook that is graver than publicly acknowledged, with a credible risk of a systemic banking crisis in the next 12 months. Russian banks are increasingly concerned about the level of bad debt on their balance sheets. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The head of Russia’s Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, gave a candid take: growth over the past two years came from tapping idle resources - unused labor, spare capacity, bank capital, and the Wealth Fund. Her warning: “Many of these resources are now truly exhausted” Source: t.co/OSsHhbuqHt

As headlines remain focused on Iran and Israel, Russia escalates its genocidal war—targeting apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, and shelters. Despite much of the media moving on, the attacks are intensifying and growing more brazen by the day.

‼️🇺🇦 Zelensky: Russian strike. More than 440 drones and 32 missiles. One of the most terrible strikes on Kyiv. Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv and Kyiv regions were also attacked. 75 people are known to have been injured. As of now, 15 people have died.

Transfer of the frozen russian assets could have prevented this. Actual trade embargo could have prevented this. Actual military aid in 2022-2023 could have prevented this. This world deserves WW3 and more. #UkrainianView

The strategy of transferring the war to Russian territory, which General Budanov has been consistently promoting, is the only possible path to destabilizing Russian fascism from within:

united24media.com/latest-news/... Ukraine Destroys Three Russian Iskander Launchers Used to Strike Civilians, Zelenskyy Says — UNITED24 Media Last week Ukraine was celebrating destroying one of these for the first time ever. It appears they are learning quickly. #SlavaUkraini

Remember this? It was a month ago and they promised they would slap brutal sanctions on Russia if nothing happened with the cease fire. Then...nothing...

Last night, Kyiv and Odesa came under massive Russian missile and drone attack. In Kyiv, debris damaged homes, vehicles, business centers, and infrastructure—at least 4 people were injured. In Odesa, a maternity ward burned, an ambulance station was destroyed, and homes were hit—2 killed, 6 injured.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

FCK PTN. That's the post. Again.

russian savages are bombarding a European capital city of Kyiv and we are doing nothing to stop it. It's disgusting #NAFO #Fellas

Murray to FDA Commissioner Makary: "I believe this administration is laying the groundwork to rip away access to medication abortion across the country. This has not gotten enough attention and I know you'd prefer to keep it that way."

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

EU's leaders are struggling with a hard equation. Either spend 1 trillion Euro now on helping Ukraine to defeat Russia or spend several trillions per year indefinitely to defend themselves from a stronger Russia.

“If Ukraine can deny Russia reaching the borders of Donetsk between now & Christmas, & Kyiv’s partners are diligent in degrading Russia’s economy, Moscow will face hard choices about the costs it is prepared to incur for continuing the war.” @rusi.bsky.social www.rusi.org/explore-our-...

💥 Explosions rock OCCUPIED Crimea tonight — reports from Belbek airbase, Armyansk, Dzhankoi & Zaozerne confirm multiple blasts and air raid sirens. Crimea is not Russian. It's OCCUPIED Ukrainian land.

I think it is likely that we will see an Indian military strike on Pakistan in the coming weeks.

What's funny about the latest Pete Hegseth chat scandal is that the timeline makes it extremely clear who provided the New York Times with this information. They're not even trying to hide it.

Zelensky confirms our early reports... Despite Kremlin claims of an “Easter truce,” Russia continues its attacks. Fighting persists in multiple directions, including artillery and drone strikes. Some areas are quieter, but no full ceasefire observed.

The way I see it the future of the free and democratic world depends on the success of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Western civilization is in the balance. The eastern front is where it will be settled.
