The decision to hand over the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius was not merely a mistake in judgment. It was a category error. It treated a question of power as though it were a question of sentiment, and it treated a matter of strategic survival as though it were a matter of moral housekeeping. In geopolitics, this confusion is not benign. It is fatal.

A bill aimed at enshrining in law the government's Chagos deal will not be debated in the Lords as previously planned.
The legislation, which would see the archipelago in the Indian Ocean handed to Mauritius with the UK leasing back a key military base for £101m a year, was due to be debated in the Lords on Monday.

But late on Friday, the Conservatives - who have long opposed the deal - tabled an amendment calling for a pause "in light of the changing geopolitical circumstances".
The government has now decided not to go ahead with the upcoming debate and said the bill will return to the Lords at an unspecified later date.

The United States owns the world’s largest official gold reserves, held primarily by the U.S. Treasury (with some custodial arrangements involving the Federal Reserve).
According to the latest official U.S. Treasury data (as of December 31, 2025, last updated January 9, 2026), the total U.S. Treasury-owned gold is 241,439,644.821 fine troy ounces.

the remainder
A small portion is in coins, blanks, or display items.
In terms of weight commonly used for international comparisons (metric tonnes), the figure is consistently reported as 8,133.46 tonnes (equivalent to the above ounces; 1 metric tonne ≈ 32,150.7 troy ounces). This amount has remained unchanged for many years, per sources like the World Gold Council (data as of Q3 2025) and IMF statistics.

outstretched to ride the stormwind,
and pass damned shadows;
perhaps, as I hunt for light
I will meet your wild spirit.

What a cold call!
Nearly 1 million kids in the NYC school system could be forced in front of the screens for remote learning Monday, Mayor Mamdani said Friday even though Hizzoner could reinstate traditional snow days his predecessors nixed.
Public school students can at best hope for remote classes for early next week as the city braces for a potentially devastating storm that the mayor has already said could dump more than a foot of snow across the Big Apple.
Forecasters are predicting the fast-approaching winter storm could batter the city with up to 18 inches of snow through Monday — bringing a bone-chilling temps and a travel nightmare.Craig McCarthy (New York Post)

This is what I share with anyone who talks to me, pro or con, about the Global Warming/Climate Change scam.
The biggest carbon footprints on Earth show unprecedented greening. If you're not doing your part to get your carbon footprint as large as possible, then you're a virtue-signaling global warming (read=cooling) nihilist who doesn't care about facts or life.
And the primary source of all this greening (in just 20 years): COAL.

Trumpismus přežije Trumpa
Aktuální dění ve Spojených státech označuje Faggioli za měkkou občanskou válku, jako by v zemi žily rozdílné národy. Například sňatky lidí z republikánských a demokratických rodin už prý takřka nepřicházejí v úvahu.
„Nevím, jestli to vyústí ve skutečnou občanskou válku, ale je stále těžší vnímat Spojené státy jako jednu zemi. Když žijete v Kalifornii a v Texasu, žijete pokaždé v jiné zemi, liší se zdravotní systém i učivo ve školách. Objevují se trhliny a země už není jednotná minimálně v tom, co chce,“ doplňuje.
Spojené státy bývaly symbolem stability a předvídatelnosti, to ale přestalo platit. Donald Trump a jeho okolí považují USA za impérium a mezinárodní vztahy za místo konfrontace a konfliktů.
„Přišli s novou představou toho, na co má Amerika právo. Měli bychom se na to připravit, protože tento svět bude mít delší trvání než biologický život Donalda Trumpa. USA jsou v relativním úpadku, ale jako Evropa jsme na nich v mnohém závislí. Tohle je jen začátek, trumpismus svého tvůrce přežije. Cosi se změnilo v duši Ameriky a změna bude pokračovat,“ předpovídá.
„Nezná Bibli ani křesťanskou teologii, ale jeho voličům na tom nezáleží. Vybrali si ho, protože slíbil vrátit Ameriku Bohu,“ říká expert na náboženské dějiny Massimo Faggioli pro Český rozhlas Plus.Petr Vizina (iROZHLAS)
"sňatky lidí z republikánských a demokratických rodin už prý takřka nepřicházejí v úvahu"
U těchto příkladů mi vždy přijde zajímavé, že neodpovídají na otázku proč (asi proto, že ta nenávist není oboustranná a možná to je to, co se změnilo v duši Ameriky 😉).
To, že trumpismus přežije Trumpa, je pravda. Trump je něco jako horečka, obranný mechanismus těla, který se snaží nemoc oslabit a zabít. Může tělo jen poškodit a uspět, nebo ho při tom zabít, ale pořád to ukazuje na funkční imunitu.
Amerika je možná v dočasném úpadku, ale stále je silnější než Evropa, která stagnuje, přičemž většina jejího růstu je catch-up Polska a daně amerických firem sídlících v Irsku, a má oslabený imunitní systém.
JD Vance výstižně řekl:
"People think that Trump, or that I, or that Rubio, hate Europe or have some problem with Europe. We don’t. We love Europe.
Why do we want Europe to control its borders? Because we love European civilization. We want it to preserve itself.
Why do we care about economic growth? Because they’re one of our most important allies in the world. We share a common civilizational heritage.
Why do we care about NATO? Because we want Europe to be able to defend itself if, God forbid, they were invaded.
We love Europe so much, we’re demanding that they do what their own leadership refuses to do, which is look after themselves and be smarter."
If you are estranged from a parent, or have ever wondered how those situations arise, I’ve written about my own experience.
Parental estrangement still carries a lot of taboo and is often described as a trend.
I hope what I have written helps to convey the long process and complexity behind a decision like this, which is rarely made on a whim.
