Israeli soldiers used the photo of a famous Palestinian-American journalist for target practice. She was killed while Biden was in power, and this was over a year before Israel would start killing more journalists in Gaza than most conflicts around the world combined
A new documentary on the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh reveals that Israeli soldiers use her photo for target practice. This exposes the Israeli mentality that journalists are "fair game", and that the killing of journalists in Gaza is no accident.

Lesson for this Trump tariff shakedown bullshit is that you can call him up and say "well okay, we'll do [list of things we're already doing], that's a really good idea" and he will take that as a win. It's like putting a blanket over a budgie's cage

So basically Donny Dearest backed down. Got Canada and Mexico to agree to do what they’d already planned to do and shat himself, figuratively and literally (again) when he saw the damage he was causing to his own economy. What a loser. Weak.

Musk was or is betting on the Kremlin taking Ukraine so he can purchase these materials at a better rate and abolishing existing contracts between Ukraine and others, quid pro quo.
Ukraine is rich in critical materials for energy transition: lithium(500,000 tons), nickel, cobalt, and non-ferrous metals—essential for batteries and renewable tech. Ukraine holds the largest titanium reserves in Europe, accounting for 7 percent of the world’s reserves. #opcanary

This is why Trump, Musk, and every other collaborator are begging Ukraine to accept a deal with a buffer zone that just so happens to exist over these regions, valued at $10 trillion. The goal is the same, to screw Ukraine from its natural resources and plunder it among Kremlin friendly oligarchs.
The regions containing these mineral deposits align with areas targeted or already occupied by Russian forces, including Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Significant deposits are also located in Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Poltava, and Kryvyi Rih. #opcanary
