with a US-China embargo, China won't be accumulating as much USD, so has less need to trade it for interest paying bonds. They have a huge pile of bonds to sell if they require cash. Lots of downward pressure on USD, which will make importing anything into the US even more expensive and push up inflation. But inflation won't be a problem over the background of a total collapse in trade and govt spending.

Seit 2. März hat Israel alle Hilfslieferungen in den Gazastreifen gekappt. Die Menschen stehen vor einer humanitären Katastrophe, vor allem die Kinder. Ein Interview mit einer Mitarbeiterin der NGO Save the Children.
Basel Adra, co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, shares his lifelong commitment to documenting the brutal realities of life under occupation. Starting as a teenager, he captured firsthand the violence inflicted on his village Masafer Yatta by settlers and the Israeli military—from home demolitions by bulldozers to brutal assaults on community members. Despite international recognition for his work, Adra reveals that the cycle of violence, displacement, and injustice continues unabated, with daily attacks that leave Palestinian communities in constant fear.
Speaking at the UN Palestinian Rights Committee on 3 April 2025, Adra recounted harrowing personal and communal experiences, including the attack on his cousin, which exemplifies the systemic oppression faced by Palestinians. He highlighted that these incidents are not isolated but part of a broader strategy to displace Palestinians and seize their land, underlining the complicity of state authorities in facilitating such actions. Adra’s testimony is both a call to action and a plea for global accountability in the fight for Palestinian rights and dignity.
While the Border Czar was addressing lawmakers, Democrats stormed out of the Capitol as Homan began speaking about the over 300,000 children who were smuggled into this country and lost by the Biden regime. They were holding signs with the names of illegal aliens who were deported.

Members of Trump’s inner circle have begun to openly feud as the reciprocal tariffs prompt mixed reactions on the world stage. At the core of the division is messaging, namely whether to present the tariffs as a long-term revenue raiser or as part of a negotiating tactic to secure more favorable trade deals with other nations.

1970 MUSTANG MACH 1 351C 4BBL This is sort of a barn find. The original owner was my brother in-law. He bought it new in 1970. For whatever reason he parked it in a barn in 1986. I married his sister in 1988. I never knew this car existed. He passed away and everything went to his mother. Since I have always been a mustang nut the family decided I would get the car. That was when I first even heard about it. My son and I went out to the barn and started digging it out. What we found was shocking. The car was in very good shape. I offered to pay my mother in-law but she would only except $10. So I paid her the $10. Anyways here are pictures from when we first uncovered it and the finished project.
Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson published new emails from FBI whistleblowers showing that President Joe Biden’s then-Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Su personally assisted the FBI in securing President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence’s cell phones to assist the nascent “Arctic Frost” investigation over January 6.
The new whistleblower emails also show that a future member of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team and an anti-Trump FBI agent were closely involved in the origins of the FBI probe.

"On Tuesday, new court documents were released that reveal would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh was in talks to purchase a Stinger Missile to take out Trump here in the US.
A Stinger missile reportedly costs from $119,000 to $120,000.
A Stinger missile costs anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 on the black market.
So, where did Ryan Routh get all of his funding?
The Gateway Pundit reported that the court documents reveal that Routh was communicating with someone he “believed to be a Ukrainian with access to military weapons.”
The Gateway Pundit questioned at the time, “It sounds like Routh was holding talks with a federal operative?”
And, Routh and his associate were talking about assassinating Trump in July 2024 in Pennsylvania!...
So, who was running Ryan Routh?
And why was he not arrested in July if he was plotting to kill the former president in Pennsylvania and was attempting to purchase an illegal Stinger missile?
Holy smokes!
On Tuesday night, former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou answered these questions on Jesse Watters Primetime, and it was just as many of us suspected.
The feds were likely involved with Routh for many months. But they DID NOT stop him from planting himself in the bushes at a Trump Palm Beach course where he waited to kill the president.
The FBI needs to come clean...
Why are we funding an organization that was working with the would-be assassin of President Trump.
In a shocking revelation, former CIA officer John Kiriakou suggests potential FBI oversight in the case of Ryan Routh, who attempted to assassinate Trump. Uncover the alarming details surrounding this unprecedented security breach.

Key documents from the FBI’s politicized Crossfire Hurricane investigation into false allegations of Trump-Russia collusion remain hidden from public view, but a new order from President Trump will reveal more answers — and documents already obtained by Just the News provide clues on what is to come.
Trump's executive order in January 2021 on Crossfire Hurricane was thwarted at the last minute. His new executive order seeks to right that wrong, and Just the News can provide a preview of what mysteries remain.
Es ist ja schön das BlackRock Merz es geschafft hat sich zurückzuhalten und das Thema Migration erst als zweites, nach dem Thema Finanzen, anzusprechen, das macht es leider kein bisschen weniger widerlich...
Die Aussage das Merz die „Anzahl der sicheren Herkunftsländer vergrößern” will ist die schlimmste von allen — sie wollen das Grundrecht auf Asyl umgehen indem sie einfach mehr Länder als sicher definieren und somit niemand mehr Asyl beantragen kann.
Merz sagte auch das ein Wehrdienst „zunächst auf der Basis der Freiwilligkeit” eingeführt wird. Betonte nochmal das „zunächst” und das wir hoffen sollen, das sich auch genug Menschen dafür finden.
„Wir werden die Bundesverwaltung um 8% auf die Wahlperiode verkleinern. Wir werden Personal einsparen und wir werden auch die Zahl der Beauftragten des Bundes um etwa die Hälfte reduzieren.”

nun, man könnte das Geld aus dem Budget entfernen und müsste anschließend die gleiche Summe aus einem anderen Topf zahlen, mit eigenem Verwaltungsoverhead. Das nennt ein bayrischer Dorfdepp dann "schlanker Staat".
All diese Halbschauen schauen in die USA und denken "wow, die sparen ja richtig!". In Tat und Wahrheit spart der ganze Wirbel nicht mal ein halbes Prozent der Staatsausgaben der USA. Und jetzt will man es auch noch nachmachen. 🤷
Witzig find ich ja "Völkerrecht Wir wollen ein starkes Zeichen für das Völkerrecht und gegen Aggression setzen, und die bestehende Zuständigkeitslücke zum Verbrechen der Aggression im Statut des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs schließen."
Während einer seiner ersten Aussagen von Merz war das man das Völkerrecht erst mal missachten und einen Kriegsverbrecher nicht festnehmen will 🙃

In his first interview since being pardoned by President Donald Trump last month, former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer tells Just the News that there was “no doubt” the younger Biden was talking business with his father and confirmed that his former partner was selling the “Biden” brand in deals abroad.
Hunter Biden's former business partner more clearly described the former first son’s role in leveraging his family name for business deals around the world. He also said he had “no doubt” the younger Biden was talking business with his father.

I like Rand Paul, but he's wrong here. He isn't looking at the big picture and using individual transaction analogies that don't work when scaled up. Trade deficits in and of themselves, in moderation, are not a big deal, but, being giving free access to your market, and not getting it in return can be and has been ruinious. They way it is now only benefits him and those like him, but the cost of unfair competition is borne by the working class. he seems blind to this. breitbart.com/clips/2025/04/08…
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that it was “absolutely a fallacy” that the United States is getting ripped off because they have a trade deficit with another country.

China has been a zombie state for years now. Massive social unrest (entire villages attacking and killing cops, public suicides en-masse, the "laying flat" and "let it rot" movements, etc), companies pulling out more and more for ten years, the "Belt and Road" initiative collapsing as previous and current infrastructure projects collapse, the military falling apart as subs sink in the harbor along with fighters exploding left and right (and that's just some of it), the literal millions and millions of people that have seemingly "vanished"
If China shits the bed and dies, it was already written on the wall in neon paint
and all this choas really just seems like "flooding the zone" (the term existed before Steve Bannon)
"Trump this. Trump that." really just plays into the strategy. It's what they want.
But that aside, there's this weird "kamikaze" feeling I get from this admin. It seems like over the top incompetence and sloppy implementation, but at the same time, there's a suicidal accelerationist bent to it all (if you zoom out and ignore the left/right bickering)
The "New Apostolic Reformation" cult (and lots of others like the "I AM" cult, the Moonies, and Scientology) can adapt if Trump's admin implodes, so "Orange man bad" is just pissing in the wind
Wouldn't put too much stock in the accounts of the elders of this era. Between the normal distorting effects of nostalgia and the staggering rise in early onset dementia, they are among the weakest I've seen for guidance of the young away rom dangerous patterns of history

If you're new to these definitional difficulties, there are many prominent and non-equivalent definitions of antisemitism, and the debates about them can be bitter.
I'm a Harvard employee of Jewish descent who lost family in the Holocaust, and I'm not happy with the recent decision.
The IHRA definition (2016) is not careful to distinguish criticism of #Jews from criticism of #Israel. On the contrary, most of its 11 examples of antisemitism deliberately mix the two. holocaustremembrance.com/resou…
Excerpt: Examples of conduct that are NOT antisemitic: "11. Supporting the Palestinian demand for justice and the full grant of their political, national, civil and human rights, as encapsulated in international law…12. Criticizing or opposing Zionism as a form of nationalism, or arguing for a variety of constitutional arrangements for Jews and Palestinians…13. Evidence-based criticism of Israel as a state. This includes its institutions and founding principles. It also includes its policies and practices, domestic and abroad, such as the conduct of Israel in the West Bank and Gaza."
Excerpt: "Using accusations of antisemitism as a tool to suppress criticism of Israel is dangerous on many levels. It distracts attention from bona fide antisemitism, infringes on the principle of freedom of expression, and militates against constructive dialogue and debate among people with differing opinions."
The Nexus Document is a resource designed for policymakers and community leaders, aiming to enhance their understanding of the issues that intersect at the nexus of antisemitism, Israel, and Zionism. It was welcomed in the U.S.
The definition has been at the center of debates over campus antisemitism for years. Now, Harvard has become the second university to officially add it into its nondiscrimination policy—to mixed reactions.
I can't say that Harvard adopted the IHRA definition to please the Trump admin. (The def has bipartisan support.) But I do wonder.
I criticize the def because it lets institutions use their policies against antisemitism to suppress criticism of Israel, not because it lets institutions square with Trump. But others are not hesitating to press the second idea. chronicle.com/article/for-coll… (#paywalled)
Free speech is under attack.
Across the country, politicians are pushing a dangerous narrative that conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism. This false equivalence is not only wrong — it undermines genuine efforts to combat hate.
Update. Defense of #Palestinian rights is not #antisemitism, let alone terrorism. It should not be grounds for campus discipline, let alone deportation. Calling it antisemitic is a dishonest attempt to use support for Jews to deny and suppress support for Palestinians, free speech, and human rights.
"We are Jewish professors, staff members, and students from universities across the United States. We hold various views about Israel and Palestine, politics in the Middle East, and student activism on our campuses. But we are united in denouncing, without equivocation, anyone who invokes our name – and cynical claims of antisemitism – to harass, expel, arrest, or deport members of our campus communities. We specifically reject rhetoric that caricatures our students and colleagues as “antisemitic terrorists” because they advocate for Palestinian human rights and freedom."
Kate Hidalgo Bellows gets this right. #Trump treats criticism of #Israel as #antisemitism and pressures colleges and universities to do the same.
"The #Trump administration has promised to pull funding from colleges that don’t punish people for criticizing Israel, on the basis that it is antisemitic."
But of course we have the same right to criticize Israel that we have to criticize any country. There's nothing intrinsically antisemitic about it.
"Speaking on CNBC last week, #JonathanGreenblatt, the head of the Anti-Defamation League, cheered Trump’s attempt to exercise political control over #Harvard…In a shocking interview with The New Yorker…the Holocaust historian #DeborahLipstadt…praised Trump’s assaults on academia and [his] attempts to deport some pro-Palestinian activists. While in some cases she thinks the administration has gone overboard, she suggested that those who don’t give the president credit for standing up for Jews suffer from “Trump derangement syndrome.” It seems to me that there’s another sort of derangement at play here, rooted in the way Israel’s defenders conflate all but the mildest criticism of #Israel with antisemitism."
Very disappointing. Even the lead editor of the IHRA definition has fought against its adoption in recent years. An org that willingly adopts it in 2025 is making a choice to keep those problematic "contemporary examples of antisemitism".
Canada is pushing for a similar thing. By all accounts in spite of technically being Jewish, by speaking up against Israel I am antisemitic under their definition. What feels truly antisemitic is being told you aren't a real Jew if you aren't a ferocious Zionist.
This post was apparently reported saying I was being antisemitic and equating this to blood quantum. I am literally just saying I'm a non-practicing Jew and this is the garbage that we have to contend with. Seriously.
can you explain to me what you mean with "criticism of Israel"? The existence of the Jewish state? Is there anything comparable, e.g. criticism of Germany for example?

Quarante trois députés français, dont une écrasante majorité du groupe Renaissance, ont appelé à bloquer le renouvellement du mandat de Francesca Albanese au poste de rapporteur spécial de l’ONU sur les territoires palestiniens. La juriste italienne a toutefois été reconduite le 1er avril. Pour Off Investigation, elle a accepté de revenir sur le sujet ainsi que sur la situation à Gaza.
Les pressions exercées ces dernières semaines depuis plusieurs pays n’auront pas suffi. La juriste italienne Francesca Albanese, connue pour avoir dénoncé avec courage la logique génocidaire imposée par Benjamin Netanyahou à Gaza, a été reconduite pour trois ans à son poste de « rapporteur spécial des Nations unies sur les territoires palestiniens », qu’elle occupe depuis 2022. Et ce, en dépit des initiatives visant à faire capoter le renouvellement de son mandat, menées par des parlementaires pro-israéliens aux Etats-Unis et sur le Vieux continent.

Ja, ruhig bleiben und dennoch bestimmt. Ich habe meinen Kommentar hier gelöscht und unter meiner Weiterleitung geschrieben, weil dies eher ein Zeichen für Unruhe ist. Abseits des Keyboard habe ich mich da mehr in Griff ;)
Also das mit dem Wissen stimmt. Aber Wissen hilft ja nur, wenn mensch das irgendwie vermitteln kann. So wie Du mit Deinem Buch oder auch bei einem Freund der jetzt schon das zweite Buch veröffentlicht hat. Aber bitte, wer liest das? Es ist so detailreich ohne Spannungsbogen, damit können die Leute doch nichts mehr anfangen. Z.B. müsste mensch, um den jetzigen Konflikt mit Russland zu verstehen , mindestens bei Napoleon anfangen. Wenn mensch im Gegensatz zu unsere noch-Außen auch nur ansatzweise Wissen über die Vergangenheit hat, dann lässt sich nicht mehr so viel von Pseudomoral oder Bacons schaffeln. Also Wissen kann manchmal für die Gemütsverfassung echt negativ sein. Nicht-Wissen wollen ist doch von daher leider viel einfacher. Dennoch , bei aller kritischen Betrachtung, letztlich bin ich davon überzeugt, dass mensch nur durch Wissen, Nachdenken und Kommunikation , irgendwie weiter kommt. Wissen dient auf jeden Fall dem Selbstwert und dem Selbstschutz, als Angriffswaffe ist es sehr, sehr schwer zu handhaben.
Also Philosophie ist das Eine, da kennst Du Dich besser aus, aber ich glaube heute geht es immer um Psychologie. Das eine bedeutet Nachdenken oder früher auch Geist, das andere bedeutet Wissen über die nicht-rationalen Besonderheiten und Schwächen des Menschen. Positiv um sich selbst besser zu reflektieren, negativ , um Menschen zu steuern. Und dieses Wissen, über die Schwächen des Menschen in die Hand von Robotern oder Maschinen bzw. empathieresistente Menschen zu geben, dürfte so ziemlich das größte Problem dieser Zeit sein. Bis dahin kann es einfach nur heißen , in Bewegung bleiben. Ein sich ständig bewegendes Ziel kann schlechter getroffen werden. Und ja Bewegung kann auch mal Wut sein, wenn sie nicht dabei stehen bleibt.

the part that gets me the most about the "fairness in women's sports" stuff is that it assumes women are inherently inferior to men. okay so you're just misogynistic got it, let's move on to something that actually matters
Biologically speaking, am I wrong in saying that, onnaverage, cis men have a higher max strength potential than cis women? Like sure, I'm not strong and there's women who workout who could carry me like a shopping bag and beat me at arm wrestling any day, but again, speaking of average here.
you are wrong in saying that, yes. because sports are a lot more complicated than single metrics, and elite athletes are - shockingly - not average people.
the purpose of gender segregation in sports is not to protect women, it is to protect men from having to suffer the emotional suffering of losing to a woman. and in sports where physical characteristics like that do matter, like wrestling for example, we already have a solution for that; which is things like weight classes. take the physical characteristic that actually matters and divide people based upon that! easy.
"take the physical characteristic that actually matters and divide people based upon that! easy."
Yes, I do agree with this part. But for example I was looking at 100meters runners for the olimpic games where the record established by a man is almost a whole second faster, which I know sounds like an insignificant amount but for athletes of that caliber is an eternity. And I'm not trying to fight against your point for the sake of it, but understand that I've been taught these things my whole life and while I'm open to learning and accepting that something is wrong I also want to look into stuff rather than blindly accept what anyone says, otherwise I'd believe the eart is flat. But back on the topic, yes I agree that dividing by weight, to name one, would be a good option (less muscle mass means less power I think), but if there really is no difference why is there a gap of that size in the records for that sport?
people don’t like to believe in biological arguments even where they exist. They think being angry at them will make them stop existing.
There is of course a lot of nuance to it, especially when it comes to the mainstream arguments, but to flat out deny the statistical distributions is just foolish
You are telling people they consider women inferior instead of replying with something that supports your argument. Besides, nobody even ever said they believe women are inferior.
not to mention there are actually some sports where men are the inferior ones. if i remember correctly, long distance swimming is one where women statistically outperform men.
and my point is we should abolish the sex-based segregation entirely. allowing everyone to participate equally is what matters; winning is not something anyone should feel entitled to. remember that such systems are created to protect men's egos from realizing a woman is better than them at something
If this happened it would not turn out how you expect and then the argument would turn into how popular sports are biased against women to explain the outcome
there was a saturday night live skit of this in like the 1980s where they had drug olympics and a guy tried lifting 800 pound barbell and ripped his arms off
"sex segregation" actually makes more sense at amateur levels and less so more elite you get, as other factors with smaller appearance frequency become more relevant like "first-place olympic runner in this event always comes from certain little population in east africa" or "winner in swimming always had this set of rare mutations" kinda stuff. and high level sports a lot of the "sex difference" factor is actually prescriptive rather than descriptive because e.g. force disqualifying women who aren't "womanly" enough or forcing them use antiandrogens or
it's crude rubric should be used just for keeping some people from hurting other people, and even that doesn't apply half sports at amateur levels, stuff that's not like wrestling or meriken football. should be adaptable non-rigid rule for when "weird" people do appear, willing to accomodate
it makes less sense at professional levels, because "gender" is a very crude heuristic for demographic selection, and elite sports are drawing from a much broader range of people and so small demographics like "people of particular arm length in ratio with particular leg length" become significant to the point of dominating / being a better way to break your sport up into "fairness" classes
to make gender be a useful demographic at elite levels you need to specify what gender means and then construct it, by e.g. forcing people to take anti-androgens or disqualifying the "outlier" people who show up much more often
it makes more sense at amateur levels only because it's an easy way to split up teams in a way that can reduce the injury rate etc, for like wrestling. should not be taken as an ironclad rule though and instead accommodate the outliers and weird people who still show up now and then, because amateur sports are just having fun and exercise, not money and fame
I suspect that what they mean by gender is "person was born with these chromosomes regardless of what they identify as and what they may be transitioning to" But when we start touching transitioning we open a whole new box of things people will say because transphobia is the main reason. "What? Transwoman competing with cis women? Not fair they have an advantage, people should compete against their sex assigned at birth" but then will complain about trans men competing against cis women. There's no making them happy. They just want to cut out trans people from sports.
yeh, the trouble of "person born with these chromosomes" is 1. people aren't "born with chromosomes", to begin with, at least not in the way they mean, 2. there are practically-uncountable (as in finite, but can't be counted in practice) many ways to mutate any given human genome of whatever "chromosomal layout" to produce any given form of woman, man, or something-else, and 3. a human genome is anyways only a cd's worth of information, most of which is garbage, and variations in methylation and other epigenetic changes, cellular structure itself, and the human's developmental environment can also produce any sort of woman, man, or something-else starting with most any human genome without any mutations at all
and this all becomes very apparent at an elite sports level where they're actually checked for and advantageous outliers accumulate. people want to be able to ignore natural variety of human experience, but they can't, and so try instead to legislate it out of existence
auf das hier ...

in reply to Very Hairy Jerry • • •with a US-China embargo, China won't be accumulating as much USD, so has less need to trade it for interest paying bonds. They have a huge pile of bonds to sell if they require cash. Lots of downward pressure on USD, which will make importing anything into the US even more expensive and push up inflation. But inflation won't be a problem over the background of a total collapse in trade and govt spending.
