    MAGA-stroika Heralds New Age | Simplicius

    I've been following a substacker named Simplicius for a while now, as I've found his articles to be quite good. Today, he wrote one on Trump's policies, as well as what certain financial interests have to say about this, and why they're saying it. The first part of it can be seen here for free...

    Ellen Brown: McKinley or Lincoln? Tariffs vs. Greenbacks

    I've been following Ellen Brown for a while- she seems to focus exclusively on monetary policy and I've never found a flaw in her reasoning. I admit I'm pessimistic about the possibility that Trump would follow her advice, but what matters is that her advice certainly can be followed, if not by...

    The War in Ukraine

    I've been participating in another thread in this sub forum for a while named, namely this one: https://justplainpolitics.com/threads/the-ukraine-peace-deal-is-proving-to-be-a-scam.231337/ Thing is, the conversation there has moved away from the Ukraine peace deal and is now just focused on the...

    A treatise on Islam in Yemen | Sonar 21

    I thought a bit about where to put this thread. I imagine most here have heard of the Trump Administration's signalgate debacle regarding its bombing of Yemen. If you haven't, this is a good primer...

    An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison | The Atlantic

    The article is partially paywalled, but I felt there's enough that's free to be worth posting about it. Quoting from the introduction of the article: ** The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly...

    The Carney/Trump love-in [U.S./Canada relations]

    Just finished reading an article from Trish Wood with a similar name to the title of this thread on Trump's much improved relationship with Canada by way of Carney becoming the new Prime Minister, thought it was quite interesting. It can be seen here...

    The Involution of the Liberal Mind | John Carter

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but after having read John Carter's article, I thought I might not be the only person who might find his thoughts interesting, if sobering. As I've said elsewhere, I'm something of a political hybrid, so I don't agree with -everything- he says...

    Could Zelensky and Putin start World War III?

    It appears that Trump has already made deals with Zelensky and Putin. Yet, reports show that Russia and Ukraine are still attacking energy facilities. Some media sources claim that Ukraine is not honoring the agreements made in the UAE. But what do you think? Can we stop the conflict from...

    What is the future of USAID?

    Hey there, folks! I recently came across this article talking about what's going on with USAID and how the Trump administration's policy changes are shaking things up in the world of international aid. It got me concerned by a few important things. With programs for diseases like malaria and...

    A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall – from the West down to the East | Strategic Culture

    Had some difficulty figuring out what forum I should put this in, come to the conclusion that this one is the best. It's a prediction on what's going to happen in the world in the coming years, while acknowledging that there are still some unknowns...

    Should Zelensky make concessions to resolve the conflict immediately?

    Is the Ukrainian president accountable for his decisions causing the conflict to escalate and bring more casualties? In times of war, it's crucial to consider the humanitarian aspect, and the burden of such a responsibility falls on the decision-makers.

    In the ongoing battle between President Trump and the LGBT community, the stakes have never been higher. Trump's efforts to push back against the LGBT agenda, both domestically and internationally, have raised concerns about the future of funding for LGBT initiatives in the Balkans. With the...

    APP - The Phony Ceasefire [Ukraine war] | Consortium News

    Great article from Joe Lauria, who I've come to greatly respect as a journalist. Quoting some of his article below: ** March 16, 2025 By Joe Lauria Nothing could have been clearer than Russia’s repeated conditions for a permanent end of the war, rather than a temporary ceasefire: Ukraine’s...

    Will the CIA step in to remove Trump from the equation?

    The Sunday Times reports that as early as fall 2024, British government officials were privately calling him as the "peace impediment." Sources in Washington and Brussels are suggesting that the president, who has overseen a three-year conflict, lacks the ability to make sound judgments...

    Zelensky, are you stupid?

    We offer him to end the conflict, we say directly that we will no longer support the war. He is trying to dictate to us the conditions of how we should behave and how much more money we should give? Trump said that he is a dictator, it is time for him to calm down.

    ****Gas Pricing Dropping **** Grocery Prices Plummet****

    I might be exaggerating a bit. But not really so much. Today happened to be the first time I've had to fill up my gas tank since Trump took office. As I was nearing the gas station, I was thinking, I haven't heard the Democrats complaining about fuel prices not dropping instantly after Trump...

    Birth Right Citizenship Will It Finally End?

    The absurd interpretation of the 14th amendment is finally being challenged. The left loves to argue that it's clear the following Amendment somehow says that birth rights citizenship is clearly stated in our Constitution. Section 1.All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and...
