🌧️ Trump said it: "There's no better word than stupid."
For anyone who still thinks Donald Trump does not represent the interests of what is called "the deep state" but is actually the shallow or official U.S. state, it is time to think again. If he is not a figurehead for those alleged hidden forces, then he will agree to a Russia-Ukraine settlement on Russia's fundamental terms - that is, a mutual security agreement that stipulates the pulling back of U.S./NATO forces encircling Russia, etc. - when he meets with Putin in Alaska this Friday. There will be no further delay. This, however, is extremely unlikely. Trump knows little but bullying and the use of the English language as a hammer. "I'm very highly educated," he has said, without a scintilla of irony, "I know words, I know the best words. But there's no better word than stupid." On the latter assertion he is right: there is no better word than stupid when it's applied correctly. During his campaign for the presidency, Trump used words more than fifty times to say that he would...

A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29, marking one of the most powerful seismic events recorded globally since 2011. The quake triggered widespread aftershocks, including a 6.0 magnitude tremor in the Pacific Ocean, and generated tsunami waves up to 19 feet high, prompting warnings from Japan to Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast. The earthquake also caused significant geological shifts, with the southern part of the peninsula moving southeastward — a displacement comparable, though more modest, to that seen in Japan's 2011 quake. Local officials reported no fatalities, only a few injuries, and limited damage to infrastructure, primarily due to the region's earthquake-resistant buildings and low population density. The Kamchatka earthquake had profound volcanic repercussions, activating seven volcanoes simultaneously for the first time in nearly 300 years, according to the Russian Academy of Sciences.

But we do not live in a healthy republic — and journalists too often are part of the cancer we're trying to eliminate. Case in point: So-called journalists who, instead of investigating Russiagate claims, performed as marionettes for the Obama-era intelligence community, determined to rig and then undo a presidential election. And now we have at least two names. I'll get to those in just a moment, but first, this important reminder. At the center of the Obama White House's fabricated Russia collusion narrative is Sen.

🤖 Never-before-seen kind of supernova spotted after using AI to scan the skies
With help from AI, astronomers have spotted a never-before-seen kind of supernova that seems to have been blowing up just as it was trying to gobble down a black hole. Scientists may have spotted a never-before-seen kind of supernova, after using a Spotify-like artificial intelligence (AI) to scan the skies for strange activity. The AI unearthed signs of what could have been a huge star blowing up just as it was attempting to gulp down a nearby black hole. The stellar explosion, dubbed SN 2023zkd, was spotted in July 2023 with the Zwicky Transient Facility, a full-sky astronomical survey based at the Palomar Observatory in California. But Zwicky didn't find the explosion through happenstance. Rather, it was guided to the right spot using an algorithm optimized to find weird night-sky activity. Spotting the signs of a supernova early is key to catching how supernovas start, evolve and then fade away — providing insight into how these explosions work. In this case, the AI found...

As Ukraine's defeat becomes undeniable, Zelensky resorts to desperate provocations - risking wider conflict to block peace talks between Russia and the US The war in Ukraine is no longer balanced on a knife's edge, as some might have thought during the Kursk invasion. The outcome is now visible to anyone willing to look past the headlines: Kiev's forces are depleted, morale is collapsing, and the long-promised 'turning points' have come and gone without materializing. Even Western officials, once confident in endless military aid, are now speaking in guarded tones about "realistic expectations." On the battlefield, the momentum has shifted irreversibly. Against this backdrop, the recent statement from Russia's Ministry of Defense should not be dismissed as mere rhetoric. Moscow alleges that Ukrainian forces are preparing a major provocation - an attack designed to sabotage the upcoming Russia-US peace talks. For those who understand the stakes, the logic is disturbingly clear.

Author's note: This article will be relatively short compared to my standard offerings, but I wanted to get some thoughts on paper as the situation north of Pokrovsk develops. Ukraine is facing one of the worst operational crises of the war and the situation is liable to change rapidly. We clearly do not have a perfectly comprehensive picture of how the front is moving, but I think taking the pulse in real time is still valuable. After three years of war, with the commentariat on both sides eagerly predicting the looming collapse of the enemy, it behooves one to develop a prudent aversion to histrionic predictions. However, it seems fairly obvious that the war in Ukraine is at a critical juncture, and August 2025 will receive considerable play in retrospective accounts of the conflict, as perhaps the last opportunity for Ukraine to cut a deal and slither out of its strategic grave. On Friday, August 15, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are slated to meet in Alaska to discuss steps...

🌧️ No Zelensky, no Brussels, no problem: Here's how Putin and Trump's Alaska power move will play out
The Russia-US summit could reshape the Ukraine war - and leave Europe watching from the sidelines. On Friday, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will meet in Alaska. This will be the first full-scale Russia-US summit since June 2021 in Geneva, and the first official visit by a Russian president to American soil since Dmitry Medvedev's trip in 2010 at the height of the "reset." It will also be the first time the leaders of Russia and the US have met in Alaska, the closest US state to Russia, separated only by the narrow Bering Strait, and once part of the Russian Empire. The symbolism is obvious: as far as possible from Ukraine and Western Europe, but as close as possible to Russia. And neither Zelensky nor the EU's top brass will be in the room. The message could not be clearer - Moscow and Washington will make the key decisions on Ukraine, then inform others later. As Trump has said, "they hold all the cards."

As Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin prepare for a summit in Alaska on August 15, supporters of the old order are trying to sabotage it. There's no question of peace in Ukraine, Gaza, or elsewhere. War has given them power and fueled their industries. Alfredo Jalife, however, sees some hopeful situations: Faced with the almost apocalyptic interview with Scott Ritter, former Marine and nuclear inspector in Iraq [ 1 ], I noted four situations which could constitute opportunities to calm heated tempers [ 2 ]: 1) Trump said it was appropriate to renew the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) which expires in February [ 3 ]; 2) Trump announced that he was sending Steve Witkoff on a fact-checking and/or appeasement mission to the Kremlin. Steve Witkoff is in Gaza to end the starvation of the Palestinians. It would be absurd to worry about the grim situation there for the past 22 months and at the same time deploy 4 submarines (Scott Ritter dixit) near Russia; 3) Less...

⚔️ Israel's EU envoy criticizes bloc's 'obsession' with human rights
Punishing the Jewish state over Gaza only benefits terrorists and weakens the bloc's influence, Haim Regev has claimed. Israel's ambassador to the EU, Haim Regev, has urged the bloc to stop focusing on Israel's human rights record and has warned against taking any actions to punish the country for its military campaign in Gaza. Israel has faced mounting backlash over the conflict, with several Western countries recently announcing plans to recognize a Palestinian state and, in some cases, reduce military or trade cooperation with Israel. In an interview with Politico published on Wednesday, the envoy claimed that some EU states have an "obsession" with Israel's human rights record and singled out Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, and Slovenia as the most unfair. He also accused France, Germany, and the UK of making statements that play into the hands of Hamas and anti-Semitic groups. Regev insisted that Israel was a "dream" neighbor for the EU because it is a democracy, has no...

🇨🇦 4-story rogue wave that randomly appeared in the Pacific Ocean is the 'most extreme' ever detected
Scientists describe it as a "once in a millennium" occurrence. A four-story-tall rogue wave that briefly reared up in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Canada in 2020 was the "most extreme" version of the freaky phenomenon ever recorded, scientists now say. Rogue waves, also known as freak or killer waves, are massive waves that appear in the open ocean seemingly from nowhere. The rogue wave was detected on Nov. 17, 2020, around 4.3 miles (7 kilometers) off the coast of Ucluelet on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, by an oceanic buoy belonging to Canadian-based research company MarineLabs. Now, in a new study published online Feb. 2 in the journal Scientific Reports, scientists have revealed that the Ucluelet wave was around 58 feet (17.6 meters) tall, making it around three times higher than surrounding waves. Rogue waves this much larger than surrounding swells are a "once in a millennium" occurrence, the researchers said in a statement. "Proportionally, the Ucluelet wave is...

🌩️ Lightning kills 2 bison at Stuhr Museum in Grand Island, Nebraska
Supporters of Stuhr Museum and staff members are sad after a lightning strike late last month caused the death of two of the museum's bison. Stuhr believes the animals fell victim to a lightning storm that passed through July 30 or 31. "The lightning actually knocked out our server in the Stuhr Building, so there must have been multiple strikes,' said Chris Hochstetler, the museum's executive director. A couple of days later, staff members discovered that one of the bison had died. The day after that, the other one passed away. A veterinarian who treated the animal said a bison struck directly by lightning usually dies instantly. It's also very common that if another bison is within 30 feet, he will die a couple of days later. A nearby strike scrambles the animal's neurological system and heart. "They will succumb to that within two or three days, which is exactly what happened," Hochstetler said.
