    Zelensky Refuses Any Peace Deal Taking Orders from EU & NATO – War Forever
    ​ Donald Trump berated Zelenskyy on April 23, after he said Ukraine would not legally recognize Russian control over Crimea. He said he will not accept ceding any territory, even though this is against the Minsk Agreement that was supposed to allow the Donbas to vote on separation, since they are Russians who have lived there for hundreds of years.​ https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/zelensky-refuses-any-peace-deal-taking-orders-from-eu-nato-war-forever/

    ​ Moon of Alabama: Setback For U.S. ‘Ceasefire’ Deal In Ukraine
    Zelenski bailed out and the proposed meeting fell apart. According to the Independent Zelenski had feared to be “ambushed”…
    ​..Zelenski does not want to concede any territory. He also does not want to sign the mineral deal which would eliminate all sovereign decisions abut Ukraine’s resources. A longer war, during which billions of dollars and Euros keep flowing, is the best deal for him.
    ​ At least some Europeans still want to ‘win’ against Russia. They reject any lifting of sanctions. They want to insert ‘peacekeepers’ into Ukraine but only with U.S. backing.
    Russia wants a bigger deal, not just a ceasefire in Ukraine, but a new European security architecture.
    ​ Claims by the Financial Times that Russia is willing to stop the war and to give up on its larger aims of demilitarizing and denazification of Ukraine have been rejected by Moscow. Russia will also not give up control of the nuclear power station in Zaporizhzhia.
    ​ The U.S. acceptance of Crimea as Russian territory is an interesting point but likely based on an ulterior motive. It would lift sanctions on Crimea and allow U.S. companies to take part in the exploitation of natural gas fields around it.
    ​ There is little the U.S. can do for now to press for a compromise. The best and most likely move is for Trump to wash his hands over Ukraine and walk away.
    ​ This would fit the larger plan of leaving the struggle with Russia to the Europeans while the U.S. will concentrate its forces in Asia for a potential conflict with China.​ https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/04/setback-for-us-ceasefire-deal-in-ukraine.html

    ​ John Helmer on Trump stringing-along deluded European countries to maintain his other open-option with Russia:
    THE REAL TRUMP DEFAULT IS EUROPEAN WAR WITH RUSSIA SO THE US CAN ESCALATE WAR WITH CHINA – THE CASE OF THE ARMS SUPPLY LINE FROM RZESZOW TO KIEV
    ​ “Fake news”, the government in Warsaw claimed. There had been a transfer from US to European and Polish control of the airport hub, and its US-supplied Patriot missile defences, but this was not a Trump decision, nor was it a US pullout from the Russian war. On the contrary, the government source announced the airport will soon be reinforced by German missile units and a Norwegian Air Force squadron of F35 fighters.​ https://johnhelmer.net/the-real-trump-default-is-european-war-with-russia-so-the-us-can-escalate-war-with-china-the-case-of-the-arms-supply-line-from-rzeszow-to-kiev/

    ​ Elon Musk and Scott Bessent had heated argument in halls of the White House: sources
    The conversation — about the IRS — got so tense, Axios first reported, that the two men got in each other’s faces within earshot of President Trump.
    ​ “Elon was shouting and rambling and Scott just wasn’t putting up with it,” one source close to the White House said.
    ​ A second source close to the White House said the fight was fundamentally about the different visions the two men have for reform, with Musk taking a more aggressive approach.
    ​ “Bessent has two mandates: reform and stabilize,” the source said.
    “Elon has one mandate: break things in the process of reform.”​ https://nypost.com/2025/04/23/us-news/elon-musk-and-scott-bessent-had-heated-argument-in-halls-of-the-white-house-sources/

    ​ According to the Standard, the nonprofit was halfway through an NEH grant of $345,000 when its funding was abruptly cut.
    It’s an especially important initiative, considering the organization was busy archiving websites targeted by the Trump administration.​ https://futurism.com/elon-musk-cuts-funding-for-internet-archive

    ​ “He would say that”, but: Early OpenAI Investor: The Chilling Reason Why U.S. Must Win AI Race Against China
    Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has issued a grave warning, declaring that the United States is in a do-or-die AI race against China, with the specter of worldwide communist ideology looming if America falters. Khosla cautioned that failing to lead in AI could allow China’s authoritarian regime to impose its oppressive vision globally.
    ​ “There’s another kind of risk I worry about even more” Khosla told X interviewer Mario Nawfal. “China can use AI in cyber warfare or physical warfare on the battlefield, but the one I worry about even more is the economic power that AI will give a nation that moves fast and wins the race.”​ https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/early-openai-investor-chilling-reason-why-us-must-win-ai-race-against-china

    The Rest of The World: China Sends Strong Message to “Global South” (and US) Via Its Embassy in Argentina
    ​ Even Argentina’s fervent anti-communist president, Javier Milei, admitted that China is a “very interesting trading partner”. Almost exactly a year after telling Tucker Carlson that he would never trade with China’s murderous government, Milei had nothing but fond words for the US’ main strategic rival, saying: “[they] do not make demands, the only thing they ask is that they not be bothered.”
    ​ Trade with the US, by contrast, always comes with heavy strings attached, and the relationship Washington forges with countries willing to bend the knee is always one of master and vassal, as the EU has learnt to its cost. Contrast China’s talk of “practical cooperation” with countries “on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit” with Trump’s recent bragging about countries “kissing my ass” to negotiate tariffs during a dinner for Republicans.​ https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/04/china-just-sent-a-strong-message-on-trade-and-development-to-global-south-and-us-via-its-argentinean-embassy.html

    Eat those Red Hots before 2026, I guess… MAHA – Petroleum-Based Food Dye Ban
    Establishing a national standard and timeline for the food industry to transition from petrochemical-based dyes to natural alternatives.
    ​ Initiating the process to revoke authorization for two synthetic food colorings—Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B—within the coming months.
    Working with industry to eliminate six remaining synthetic dyes—FD&C Green No. 3, FD&C Red No. 40, FD&C Yellow No. 5, FD&C Yellow No. 6, FD&C Blue No. 1, and FD&C Blue No. 2—from the food supply by the end of next year.
    ​ Authorizing four new natural color additives in the coming weeks, while also accelerating the review and approval of others.
    Partnering with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct comprehensive research on how food additives impact children’s health and development.

    Good, long article: What Science Says About Food Additives
    ​ One paper suggesting that dyes and behavioral effects might be related, which has been cited dozens of times, was co-authored in 2012 by Joel Nigg, a professor of psychiatry at Oregon Health & Science University. Nigg and his team compiled dozens of research studies investigating the role of dietary additives on ADHD symptoms in children. Based on the results of this meta-analysis, Nigg and his colleagues concluded that roughly one third of children with ADHD might respond to a restriction diet free of synthetic additives, and that 8 percent of those children may be sensitive to food dyes specifically. The evidence was too weak to justify policy action “absent a strong precautionary stance,” they wrote, but also “too substantial to dismiss.”
    ​ A later 2022 review led by scientists at the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment reached more definitive conclusions. The OEHHA team compiled 27 clinical trials of children exposed to synthetic food dyes. Most of the trials had dosed children directly with dyes or a placebo on alternating schedules. Parents, teachers, and, in some cases, trained specialists assessed the children’s behavior and in some studies were unaware of when the dye exposures were occurring. Mark Miller, a pediatrician who led the OEHHA review, said doses tested during many of the trials mimicked real life exposure to synthetic food dyes. The dyes had no effect on some children, while others had measurable impacts on attention, impulsivity, learning, memory, and hyperactivity, he said. The combined evidence favoring a link between synthetic dyes and neurobehavioral effects “is very strong,” said Miller, who is now an associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco.​ https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/04/what-science-says-about-food-additives.html

    @those darned kids

    Beware anecdotal experience in medicine.

    Childhood schizophrenia, CsZ, was a term which eventually encompassed Autism or the other direction.

    Yeah my mom cared for Todd CsZ in the late ’60s and early ’70s when his mother couldn’t handle him which meant the duty fell to me and my 2 sisters. Two of Todd’s siblings are adult schizophrenics.

      For much of the 20th century, Autistic children were diagnosed under the umbrella of Schizophrenia (childhood-onset Schizophrenia or COS).

    Then

      The distinction between the two disorders remained unclear for nearly 30 years, until DSM-II included children with autism under the diagnostic umbrella of schizophrenia, childhood type. In 1971, Kolvin2 conducted seminal research that highlighted the distinction between autism and schizophrenia, which influenced the decision to include the disorders as 2 separate categories in DSM-III.

    And the 300 pound Autist ((fashionable)) son of a bankrupt Jewish VIP battered me in 2017….4 cervical discs herniated, moderate to severe stenosis in 3 areas. I’ve written about it.
    That’s a Class C felony in Washington state….same as if he assaulted a judge, but they don’t mean it. 8 years and 12 days later they’re still fighting me. No resolution

    My Jap attorney said “Can’t you see what’s going on D rich?”
    Me: How’s that Douglas?
    Atty: Everyone is afraid of the mother.
    Me: she has no standing in my disability claim
    Atty: he’s autistic. She’s a connected Jew and strategic partner with the medical center
    Me: Autists go to jail all the time. I’m Catholic and her bigotry doesn’t bother me
    Atty: Her antiCatholic bigotry resonates with the Jewish judge, the Jewish CEO, the Jewish Director who fired you, the Jewish General Counsel and the Jewish opposing counsel
    Me: who told them I’m a Catholic that hasn’t been to Mass in 16 years?
    Atty: it wasn’t me.
    Me: you never asked me and I didn’t ask you that question.
    Atty: you need to settle this
    Me: I have a broken neck and loss of nerve function to my hands prohibits performing microsurgery
    Atty: No one cares. You’re an unsympathetic client and he’s an Autistic Jew
    Me: Autist and Mommy have no standing in this disability claim
    Atty: correct. No one cares. And you look fine compared to the drooling 300 pound autist.
    Me: you know he’s not autistic. Right?
    Atty: what do you mean?
    Me: Mom, Granny and Fatboi are scammers. Google that name. You haven’t done your due diligence have you?
    Atty: what?
    Me: Don’t “what!” me Doug…. Fatboy Autist is an Artistê of Sorts. Those 3 Zionists sell cardboard paper art pieces for as much as $10,000 per because Autist jewGuy is a bonafide Idiot Savant
    Atty: you can’t prove that.
    Me: Google that name you stupid sonofabitch and put up a bid. Those 3 ahits make videos and post their work on JouTube
    Atty: How do you know this?
    Me: How come you don’t

    @tdk

    “wowsers” to say the least.

    Masters of Projection n Deflection since my neck got in the way of fatboy’s hands and fists.

    The state’s psychiatrist ((((what else))) opined over 3 paragraphs that my brain was cognitively beneath a rooster’s brain. Their attorney argued over a full page The Rooster Brain Analogy to my brain was “Wonderful”. The court, the judge accepted this stupidity without visible or verbal resistance.

    The straw for my attorney was my refusal to provide the time, date and address of a disability exam by a person named Dr. Lisa Nguyen, in Cincinnati Ohio around December 2017.

    So my attorney withdrew in a very prejudicial manner to my disability claim.

    You see:
    1. I never have been to Cincinnati…..Ever
    2. Dr. Lisa Nguyen never met me nor I her.
    3. The judge ruled as fact my disability case didn’t start until December 2018. So how could Nguyen and me have consorted in a disability exam in December 2017?
    4. Why would my Jewish attorney quit when I refused to answer his falsely premised question in court?
    5. Yes, I have a Jewish attorney AND I had Mormon roommates. I’d recommend neither if they know you’re Catholic
