In 1895, in the remote West Kootenays of British Columbia, a narrow gauge railway was built to reach the richest silver mines in the world. By 1910 rampant development destroyed almost everything, a story still very relevant today. Click pics, read ALTs.

Final frames from Ukrainian FPV drones.

Russian military losses (killed/disabled) since the start of Putin's barbaric invasion of Ukraine are now more than 1.2 million. Putin is not just evil. He is clearly insane.

The war would end today if Putin just leaves Ukraine.

When your government says trusting science and knowledge is a "feature of religion and totalitarianism". WTF.

RFK Jr to Tucker Carlson: “We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.” (2025)

Rubio's first two jobs are to represent all the American citizens in his electoral region, and to protect the US Constitution.
Rubio on former colleagues who say he's abandoned his principles: "There's things people can say do in private that they can't in public...but at the end of the day, the person the people elected POTUS is Donald J Trump. That's who they elected. My job is to implement the president's foreign policy"

Everything you need to know about Putin's intent:

"Putin intends to capture all of Ukraine and reclaim parts of Europe that belonged to the former Soviet empire."

So far russia has sustained more than 1,200,000 military casualties (killed/disabled) and lost more than 10k tanks in this invasion.
U.S intelligence report.

So correct, so obvious, and still beyond the comprehension of the U.S. own government.

With so many redactions, there is obviously much to hide. Or at least a very great deal that has already justified ongoing FBI investigations.

Are they just stalling more.

We can also just read and hear the testimony from a large number of victims. Their testimony is more than damning enough.
Lot of black ink on those Epstein files from today's release - and this is the first tranche, the ones Bondi thought were LEAST damning. The rest are being illegally held back.
Here's a quilt of Volume 4 of the Epstein document dump. Gives you a 10,000 foot view of the redactions. that's 2,704 docs.

New speech from French senator Claude Malhuret:
"Those who are not yet convinced that Trump is Putin's servant should reflect on recent events."

He is not wrong.

As the newest replacement Architect for Trump's latest Whitest House renovations, I'm outlining a US$1.5B gold-tinted-glass 6-Star Hotel, the very first on the planet, which would tower phallic-like above a white marble reproduction of the Parthenon housing the largest Ikea ballroom on the planet.
Trump’s White House ballroom makeover just ballooned into a $400 million monument — complete with grand staircases and guest quarters. Read the full story at bit.ly/4aiM6Uw

A very good podcast interview with Bob Seely, author of "The New Total War", who discusses how Putin uses "peace" negotiations and other hybrid tactics to advance his military goals.

Charlie Angus on the Trump administration's gutting of American science and research funding:

"Fortunately, the federal government of Canada seems determined to make Canada a destination of choice for science and academic research."
Canada's Century Has Begun
There was an item in the last federal budget that didn’t get much attention but it’s a detail that has the potential to transform Canada’s place in the world.

"... a deeper understanding of Miller’s views is essential. It demonstrates in a more vivid way the true extremism of his anti-immigrant project—and why it poses a serious threat to the country and its future."
Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.

We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

Putin doesn't want peace. Putin is stalling sanctions and Ukrainian aid by pretending to negotiate.

Trump doesn't want peace, unless it gives him a Nobel prize. Trump wants business deals, and to protect his sugar daddy Putin who saved him from bankruptcy by laundering russian money in condos.
Yup. Ru will demonstrate its intransigence again-- Ushakov and Peskov already said that for the DimWit plan to work it has to become MORE favorable to Ru. They will reject whatever's coming if it isn't Ukr capitulation. The only way forward is Europe stepping up backing Ukr.
Istanbul. Alaska. Geneva. Results? Nothing.
Why? Because:
Russia doesn’t want peace.
Team Trump wants business deals.
Europe refuses to shape events in Europe.

Berlin will be no different.
