ParticipantSort of yesterday, Mamdani rent going straight up, 8%, national rent and housing costs slowly creeping down. Just like gas prices. So…headlines, right? NYTimes is all over this one. We’re saved!
Yeah, no. If you hadn’t guessed. And you sure not saved if you’re in any Blue area coast to coast! They are keeping rents and housing high and refusing Federal money to start businesses. Thanks government! You’re the bestest!

“IRGC Vows ‘Not A Drop Of Oil & Gas Will Be Exported’ From Region Amid Sustained Cross-Gulf Fighting

“Sheriff Says Somali Youth Gangs Are Running Wild In MinneapolisYou can just remove the word “Somali”. I don’t care. Blue cities always love drugs, crime, and violence. Always have. They hate poor and colored people like cancer; as you notice none of the NICE Blue areas have this problem: they are policed fine. Only the poor and working districts. Yay!
If this is “Just a thing” why are Red Cities and areas not (as) susceptible to it?
Like this: “footage from Northern Ireland captures police sprinting past a group of knife- and stick-wielding feral youths to cuff a local man who had grabbed a stick to protect the native women and children in his street.”
Police exist to protect YOU from US. They exist to help criminals and are doing a stellar job. All blue cities have to do is nothing, actually. Inform the public they are free to defend themselves, we’ll clean up the bodies since that’s all they respond to anyways. In six months, the criminals will be gone and the remaining ones much better behaved.
“Did The AI Bubble Just Burst This Week?
Maybe. And other nations seem to have made up this bubble as the lever to pop and drop us, but the market hasn’t been rational since I don’t know when. It’s definitely a bubble and maybe the biggest, from Day 1. But the level of interventions is almost impossible to measure.
Helga LaRouche showing that the Germans really DO have no understanding of humor. That’s just as funny as always.
And day after day, Trump now says “You’re not getting anything for free, no weapons for your war, and I’m shutting off your oil too.” Fight the war now, you p—ks. Trump is the Prime warmonger who shuts off weapons swapping for factories that will never be built and bombed in days if they were.
You can tell they have nothing to say as both articles go long on adjectives, pejorative slander, and short on facts or understanding. Brain stoppers. Skim skim skim.
“The sort of person who insists that his facts should come in popularly advertised brand-labeled packages should not expose himself to the mental anguish he will suffer in confronting even the simple day-to-day truths of routine counterintelligence work. On this level, the world is very complicated; in this realm, there are few allies, and almost no one operates openly under the brand label of the one, two, or three interests he ultimately serves.”
If only they followed their own advice. They call Trump being sarcastic 5D chess and that’s it’s a conspiracy theory. It’s 1D chess, mostly. If you just accurately accounted all the 1D chess, we could discuss the possibles far more coherently. “I shut off your oil and removed all my troops from the area” isn’t 5D chess.
“the region has witnessed a return to full-scale US-Iran war, “
It would seem the US identified the hub of the missiles and IRGC bunker on the coast, just as desired. It appears a 5,000lb bunker buster was dropped on it, lighting off all the other weapons and rocket fuel. The U.S. was not similarly attacked. This is 1D chess again: you shoot missiles at random ships who are in Omani waters, and the U.S. blows up wherever they came from. So all attacks are one-shot. All radars are one-use. They can SAY lots of things, but the half-trillion dollar military is down to a handful of cruise missiles and another IRGC base and command center is taken out with each use, then pretty soon whoever they call the iRGC commander is standing in the woods with two sticks and it doesn’t matter if he’s the Lead General or not. This is the unfortunate reality of war: you need to hurt them back. They haven’t hit a Denny’s. Okay, well we can clearly keep this up 1,000 years militarily.
“War On Iran: Oil Supplies Will Again Be In Trouble – This Time For Real
Ah! They’ve been biding their time, luring us in, and being all-around nice guys so far. They let us bomb them for months with a bomber from 1952 just to give us that false sense of security.
“Col. Larry Wilkerson: Full-Scale U.S.-Iran War Erupts, Every Front Now Active”
Iran has zero fronts active on the United States. Are they massing in Tijuana? Their amphibious fleet is boarding in Cuba. Maine is in play for invasion now. What “Fronts”, Larry?
“Iran’s response to US strikes will not be proportional”Wow, truer words were never said. Iran is being attacked at an 80:1 ratio. I mean, thanks, if you claim that’s voluntary because you’re being nice, but as far as wars go, that’s a problem. And still zero attacks on anything in the U.S., supplying our forces 5,000 miles away not disrupted at all. This is also militarily a problem. At least stop us from reloading our WWII-era bombers.
No support from China, Russia, or even Yemen. Not Turkey, a muslim country with relevant military – to the contrary, Iran is bombing them for no reason anyone can explain. Chinese railway cut off. Resupply ports blockaded. If you say that’s bad or illegal I can certainly agree with that, but it’s not militarily relevant to think things. Opinions aren’t operable to deliver bullets.

ParticipantHas anyone else seen those collapsing polls? I haven’t. Anyone?
Well, if the new trend for discussion on the TAE board is to post AI search results, I will give it a go once.
The prompt: “One columnist today said that Trump’s poll numbers have been collapsing. Another said “I do not see any evidence of that.” What is the truth in the context of the resumption of the war between the US and Iran?”
The response: The short answer is that **there is little evidence that Trump’s poll numbers are “collapsing” in the wake of the renewed fighting with Iran.** There is evidence that they have **declined from the beginning of his second term**, but the available polling suggests that the recent resumption of hostilities has **reinforced an already-existing weakness rather than triggered a dramatic new collapse.**
A few distinctions are important.
**1. Overall job approval**
The highest-quality recent polling shows relative stability.
* An AP-NORC poll conducted in mid-June found Trump’s overall approval at **37%**, essentially unchanged from May (37%) and February (36%), despite the Iran conflict. Approval of his handling of Iran was also largely unchanged. ([apnorc.org][1])
That is inconsistent with the idea of a sudden collapse.
**2. Reuters/Ipsos tells a somewhat different story—but not a recent collapse**
Reuters/Ipsos found Trump’s approval at **34%**, tying the lowest level of his second term. However, Reuters itself emphasized that this represented **a return to his previous low**, not a new plunge. Trump had begun the term around 47%, then gradually declined over several months because of inflation, immigration controversies, and other issues. The Iran war appeared to contribute to that weakness. ([investing.com][2])
In other words:
* From inauguration: substantial decline.
* After the Iran war: modest additional deterioration or no recovery, depending on the poll.
* After the renewed fighting this month: not enough evidence yet of another sharp downward move.**3. Americans are skeptical of the Iran war itself**
This is where the polling is much clearer.
Recent surveys show:
* Only about **one-quarter** of Americans think the war has been worth its costs.
* A majority doubt that any ceasefire or agreement will produce lasting peace.
* Roughly four in five Americans now expect a prolonged U.S. military involvement after fighting resumed. ([investing.com][2])That suggests considerable public pessimism about the conflict.
**4. But opposition to the war is not the same as collapsing presidential approval**
Historically, those two measures often diverge.
A president can be viewed negatively on one issue while maintaining a relatively stable overall approval rating because voters continue to prioritize:
* inflation,
* immigration,
* taxes,
* crime,
* judicial appointments,
* or party identification.Trump’s coalition has remained highly polarized. Republican approval of his performance remains very high, while Democratic approval remains extremely low. That polarization tends to dampen large swings in overall approval. ([apnorc.org][1])
### Why two commentators could honestly disagree
Both statements you quoted could be defended depending on what data they were using.
The columnist saying **”Trump’s poll numbers have been collapsing”** is probably referring to:
* the decline from roughly the high-40s early in the term to the mid-30s today, or
* issue-specific polling on Iran, where public opinion is clearly negative. ([investing.com][2])The columnist saying **”I do not see any evidence of that”** is probably looking at:
* the most recent polling surrounding the renewed Iran fighting, which shows Trump’s approval remaining roughly where it already was rather than suddenly falling. ([apnorc.org][1])
So, based on the polling available **after the resumption of hostilities**, the second characterization is closer to the evidence. Trump’s approval ratings are **low**, and many Americans are skeptical of the Iran conflict, but there is **not yet clear evidence of a dramatic new collapse in his overall approval** attributable to the renewed war.

ParticipantA new nationwide poll conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research has found a host of indications of the sea change in American Jewish attitudes about genocide in Gaza, and their relationship to Zionism itself.
The poll revealed NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is more popular — by far — than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
This may be surprising. We’ve heard ad nauseum from the Anti-Defamation League and an all-too credulous media that Jews in Mamdani’s New York live in constant fear.
The AP-NORC poll revealed 44% of American Jews actually hold a favorable opinion of Mamdani. That’s the most of any politician polled, and it’s far more favorable than for Netanyahu, viewed favorably by only 32% of American Jews and negatively by a whopping 59%.
Further, researchers found only 23% of U.S. Jews said the term “Zionist” described them extremely or very well. That’s consistent with polling from earlier this year that found most U.S. Jews — 63% — do not self-identify as Zionists. https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/2026/07/15/israel-is-losing-american-jews/

ParticipantDonald Trump broke the Internet” If you mean that no one noticed and it won’t be reported, then yes. “Breaking the Internet” means “Same as every other tweet”.
That means “It’s Happening”, which means, “No one can tell any difference at all, nor point to it.”
The “It” which is happening, is me and my five friends had a thought. We have a lot of thoughts, actually.
“newly declassified intelligence reports that reveal a foreign nation’s plans to interfere in the 2020 presidential election.”
This will also not matter as everybody has already heard and picked sides and doesn’t care. Social engineers know this.Humans respond NOT by fact, but because they are mad. If you can delay the mad enough, it dissipates, so when the fact is finally confirmed there is no impetus to action, like hanging them in the streets. This is odd, since that’s the law, which I guess they don’t care about, have no emotion for either? Nor duty? I don’t LIKE to do it, it’s a lot of work, but that is the task once you know, to arrest, try, prosecute, and hang them each and all publicly.
So regardless of what is said or revealed it will make no difference, and I expect both sides know that. However, hanging them WILL cause a most gratifying emotional reaction with all kinds of long-term benefits. Color me not optimistic as John Bolton pleas to a traffic offense for high crimes of Top Secret handling.
ICC, Rubio:
This is classic A/B thinking. Yes perhaps we should have an international court. But they had their chance and let Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Albright, and Obama go with all their Nobel Prizes and multi-million bonuses. However, the only thing worse than our court is theirs. So no thank you.
Tell you what: do anything, successfully, ever, and I’ll consider it. So far you’re a largest failure in the history of court failures, and that’s really saying something. Trust is built on the past and action. …And I wouldn’t trust you then either since that’s what a “Con” is: You establish CONfidence in something or someone, then betray it. Easy. UN, WHO, all sorts, all Cons. They exist, put on some whitewash for a few years so they can rape you for the 25 years after. Uh, no. It’s not any better after than honestly and just upfront. If you think you can try, Make Me, but I’m not going to help.
“• Trump Backs Off 20% Fee Plan For Hormuz (ZH)
Trump says things to get us to discuss things. Then they are duly discussed and they think they’re so smart and #winning, doing exactly what he wanted them to do. Discussion here is, WHY does someone get to charge a toll? For existing? No. For SERVICE. So if you are keeping ships safe instead of bombing them, for instance, that would be good example. As we do worldwide, actually. If you don’t like it, build a Navy.
“So Gulf allies, and likely officials within his own cabinet, have talked Trump out of the 20% collection scheme idea”So “He was talked out of” an idea he had for 60 seconds, posted without being serious, and made you all chase your tails. 11 years later they still don’t catch on. I guess it will be their entire lifetimes, I guess. Break out the Cat Lasers in the Press Corps again that they LITERALLY did this for “Sharpiegate” and the Press LITERALLY did not catch on he was trolling them, about how they were too fecking retarded to see when they jump on the table, hop up and down and point with both fingers. …And so just this minute, again.
Trump had an idea. Like, 1) we should we turn the moon into one giant cheese plate? 2) The press take it all literally and seriously. 3) When he does NOT turn the moon into a cheese plate with crackers, they declare victory, stunning and brave, having expended 100,000 man hours on it. 4) Trump is beavering away elsewhere they pay no attention to. 5) They are so fecking criminally retarded and need to put in a group home, with helmets strapped on the short bus, that they think they are the “Stable Geniuses” here. 6) I expect comments saying how yes, they really are schmartz, ackshully, and Trump is soooper-doooper dum, thus uniting with the press in the home for developmentally-disabled.
Applesauce will be served shortly.
Okay, man. You won. We’re not charging tolls, and the moon is not a cheese plate. You’re all #Winners. Happy?

“• The US Needs to Hit Iran Harder to End the War (Victor Davis Hanson)
So VDH also never saw anyone he didn’t want hit harder? He ought to look into that. I guess it’s possible. What does “Harder” mean? There are no targets left.
“Notice they don’t ever hit Israel” Yes. I did. He hypothesizes why but we don’t really know at all. My guess would be they have no missiles that can reach there, and the few they do are going to hit the Gulf States instead. That is, it was never a religious, moral, “Israel bad” thing. That’s all cover for POWER, where Iran needs to terrify and dictate the Gulf Region, but that is existential to the Gulf States and have to say no. So they hired us to fix it.
“Alastair Crooke is no fan of Trump. That’s why he sees the US losing vs Iran.”
What does “Winning” vs “Losing” mean here? They set up parameters that say if Iran exists, they won. And if the U.S. ever stops bombing for even 5 minutes, we lost. What the hell is wrong with you people? That’s demented and insane? Not only is that not what those words mean, but it illustrates your internal frame of mind of a gleeful psychopath. No, those are not the terms we will be using, you narcissistic abuser.
“These Iranian ripostes provoked Trump to order American air strikes against Iranian targets;”
Wow, Iran, great idea! Please keep provoking! Every time you get bombed again and assets disappear, that means you’re winning! Crooke says, in contradiction to every war ever conducted, ever, since the first cave man.
The 40th time, those are “Omani waters”? So Iran has invaded and conquered Oman now? This is good with everyone? So they bomb the Panama Canal, the Great Lakes, the Danube, also good? A: Yes, so I can win on the Internets.
“Iran is responding to this threat by warning that it will escalate militarily – two strikes for every one American strike “
Okay, well we just bombed 80 targets and included a 5,000 pound bomb on your IRGC base. So…where’s the 2:1 offer? Did you bomb 160 targets in the US and hit Ft. Bragg and San Diego harbor with two 10,000lb bombs? Talk is cheap, buddy.
Alistair says “But I made up some things in my mind and wrote them down.” Ah. Good. All settled then.
He then included other stuff he made up just now. Gas is falling, stocks are rising, USD is at 101.50, too high. Ppl love Trump just fine, unchanged. Gold shows confidence, no fear of war, silver the same as war material. No American people notice, no refineries are hit except the one Newsom forced offline as an Iranian asset and agent I guess.

Or the incredibly stupid and self-congratulatory author. Hey, um, Paul? NATO DOESN’T EXIST. You might have noticed. Just as the U.S. is not part of NATO, TURKEY ISN’T EITHER. They’re a free agent. Does that help a little?
Turkey WANTS to control Iran, the only other Army in the area rivaling them, and save what we call “El Mucho Buckos” on war and put into their economy instead. And this is because Putin WANTS THIS, and Russia and the U.S. are ALLIES on this. So this STOPS two wars, not starts them. All up to speed now?
You’re older than dinosaurs, but this is not the Cold War, which ending so long ago men are generals now that were born after the wall fell. K?
“• UK Government Lobbied For Putting Migrants And Trans People On BANKNOTES (MN)
Well they were proudly the “Gayest” Parliament and government ever, so that should be looked back on fondly. They were totally right! If only gay people and women ran everything, it would indeed be paradise, and in decades to come, they can point at the Starmer Government as the high water mark for British happiness and well-being.
9 year old girls were stabbed or raped only weekly. Not like before. And 70yo Parliamentarians were killed for their political views at the behest and express protection of the government. Sooooo…are we in Hitler territory yet, Britain?
“• Kamala Harris’s Humiliating WNBA Speech Is Painful to Watch (Margolis)
The what? Was that the show ALSO nobody watches, especially women?
“• Ro Khanna Launches Bid as Class Warrior with Expanded Wealth Tax Pledge (Turley)
Weren’t they taxing the Rich down to about $30,000/year income? You’re right! The real poor NEED at least $5k/mo like all the illegals did under Biden. That’s a near $50k swing from positive to negative. This was proven to work wonderfully under the Peronists most recently and Argentina went from poverty to the envy of the world. Oh wait: I meant the #Opposite. From 1st class nation without peer to s—t hole where architects eat from garbage cans.
