Well, it’s not like the USAF Colonel stood up to POTUS’s and DoD Medicine’s plan to Torture Folk in the name of Justice in Defense of the Nation but they still got her, the Repubthuglican branch of the current Republican party.
“Loss in Confidence in Her Ability to Command” an isolated USAFBase somewhere near Greenland or Iceland.
However one part is missing and needs to be asserted. Corporal combat war Correspondent JD Hamel Vance Bowman Blanton sure as hell ain’t The Junior Commander in Chief and therefore isn’t in the Colonel’a chain of command.Brave girl defying JD Hillbilly Bowman.
Personally, I would have recommended the good Colonel have chosen a more worthy hill to “die” on to suicide her career. JD isn’t wasn’t worth it in my estimation.Jamie Dimon ((?coinclipper?)) whining and bitching for more money…a sight to behold.

The other thing about Rome that strikes me as deeply interesting is that everybody talks about the fall of the Roman Empire as if it were somehow a bad thing to have happened and that the reasons it fell were all mistakes of one kind or another.
That’s really a peculiar way to look at things. It’s as if people were of the opinion that maintaining a tiny corrupted monstrously deviant homicidally compulsive slave master elite, at dire cost to everyone else, was somehow a good thing to keep doing.
Rome wasn’t a high point, people. It was a living HELL that laid waste to half of the planet. Yeah, they dressed cool and built magnificent monuments to themselves, (and wrote of themselves that they were just the PINNACLE of human development, but hey, you could say the same thing about the Nazis and Pharaohs.
News flash: 1% of a population can live quite high on the hog by using 9% of the people to steal everything from the remaining 90%. That’s not civilizational advancement. It’s something else altogether and I dearly hope that y’all know what it is and are properly remorseful for being a part of it. Please don’t make it worse by lamenting the demise of yet another Rome.
The sedimentary layers of past empires lay like the pages of a tragic book. Just close the cover and try to write a better story next time.

According to Fox News, it was Japan whose sale of American bonds yesterday forced Trump’s hand to announce a 90-day suspension of tariffs.
The USA puts tariffs on Japan, not the action of a friendly country that depends to some extent on your money to keep its currency afloat. The Americans are propped up by the rest of the world, yet think they somehow deserve to be at the top, are hard done by and can treat everybody else like shite. The people of America will have a hard landing when they realise they exist at the mercy of the rest of the world and are nothing special.

China wants to sell and get rich but not buy (or consume) much from any other country.
America meets the financially responsible Chinese, something Americans cannot understand in their world of maxxed out credit cards.

The fall of the roman empire can be traced back to Constantine, a Trump-like ego maniac who was the first Roman emperor to adopt Christianity to boost his popularity. Christianity was a major cause of the decline of Rome because people were alerted to the idea that they could communicate directly with god, that they did not need their Roman leaders to communicate with their gods on their behalf, that they were not born into a certain status and had to remain there. The Christians of 400AD introduced the term “paganism” to describe the religions of the Romans prior to the conversion of Constantine, it was a derogatory term, as if the Christians were more enlightened than the Romans; I consider it similar to people who describe themselves as “progressive”; “retarded” would often be a better desciption.
Interesting that the Jewish Christians only need to convert one person in power in order to bring down the whole edifice. The women were the key, lots of women dragged their men into Christianity. Peter, the man who went to Rome to start the Christianity movement (hence St Peters in Rome), would have been cheering in his grave. The Jews finally beat the Romans.
History repeats, just different players.
Another unforeseen and thus unexpected consequence of shutting down China’s access to American markets is that such pressures might accidentally force China to learn how to survive without them, such as by buying and selling things elsewhere, including to its own vast regions and enormous populations. Once that is accomplished (albeit not an easy task) it will never be at the mercy of foreign markets again.
It’s all a matter of perspective and preconceived “notions” anyway. There is no need to bring in “fresh money from outside”, because “outside” is not an actual or real thing in the first place. It’s just one’s illusory perspective about how far away something has to be in order to be far enough away to be considered “outside.” The next town down the road or the province next door is plenty far enough if you want to think of it that way. The BRICS have a combined total population of 3.25 BILLION people. I think one could learn how to scrape by somehow with a market of that size, not to even mention the realizable savings and efficiencies of shorter transportation.

I guess ZH couldn’t hide the turmoil in the real money markets after all; they are talking bonds; of course, the bond markets are many, many times larger than the equities markets. Equities for the poor, bonds for the rich. Can Trump survive this sort of destruction to the wealth of rich people? We will find out. Of course, the banks are happy, they make money regardless, transaction fees in limited access markets keep them afloat, it is a protected source of income.

One interesting point he makes is that in China, the government rules, the billionaires are beneath the government; the USA’s billionaires will not readily accept that demotion, from running the show, to obeying the government.
The Jews finally beat the Romans.”
Yeah, but the irony is that they had to stop being Jews to do it. Sweet irony, though, because the process involved moving upward from being “the people of the book” (Torah) to becoming “the people of God” (Christian).
Those who refused making the leap stayed Hebrew and consequently got (and still get) their heinies kicked out of everywhere they try to set up shop. Slow learners, I guess.
And as double irony many of those who attempted the leap, but didn’t quite make it the full distance (Constantine’s crowd), started acting like Romans. Holy Roman Empire, and all that.
Fortunately, though, the game’s not over yet. Still time for stragglers to catch up. Even Chinese guys if they’re attentive to history.
Tariff Boxing Bout:
It has been a week since the bell was rung to open the first round of the Tariff Boxing Bout.
There were a flurry of punches and counter – punches thrown.
Trump got a lower US dollar, but higher for now interest rates.
A 90 day pause has been declared now, so the boxers are sitting in their stools in their corners resting.
Short term knee jerk market gyrations get time to sort themselves out.By – the – way, does anybody really know what this Boxing match is all about?
We do know Trump is one of the 2 boxers.
But who is he fighting against?
Does anybody really know who Trump is fighting against?
My best guess is the old financial order’s Globalists.Who else has been fighting these globalists?
It looks like Putin has been fighting them since at least 2022.
It kind – of – looks like Xi has been fighting them too.
We know Trump is now fighting them too!Hummm.
Yah don’t suppose the 3 of them (gasp) might secretly be in cahoots?
Afterall, Putin, Xi, and Trump, are the 3 least trusted leaders in the world today!So who seems to be getting punched the most and hardest?
Trump is playing golf tomorrow.
Putin might be having a nice hot sonna.
Xi might be doing whatever they do on weekends in China.
None of them appears to have a bloody nose or any bruises.So who has the bloody nose and bruises from all those thrown punches?
The Globalists haven’t been trading with Russia since 2022, by their own choice
Obviously this first punch was thrown by the globalists!
Globalists; You and him fight!Maybe Trump and Xi, are throwing the second and third punches!
Trump is bombing Europe via Yemen, closing the Suez Canal
(Yah sure got to hand it to them military bomb boys, they sure know a Yemen brothel when they see one!)
So where do most of the Globalists live?
Oh yah, Europe!
It kind – of – looks like globalist trade between China and the US is coming to a screeching halt too!
Globalist trade with the rest of the world looks like it might soon be affected too.The Globalists do seem to be looking a little battered of late!
Maybe their mistresses beat them up for not paying them as much as they use to?
Mr. WEF resigned.
Wonder why?
Maybe he doesn’t own anything and is very unhappy, about how his plan “turned” out?Sorry, don’t pay any attention to me!
I just found Trudope’s or Mr. Z’s cocaine stash!
Snort!Aspnaz:
Regarding no basements in China.
I would think in northern China, like Manchuria, they have basements for cold storage and to prevent frost heaving of their buildings during the winter.
At least there unemployed young Chinese could practice the art of “laying flat” in their parent’s basements, like our youth do here.I can see in the south of China, flooding concerns might discourage building basements in homes.
