What a week on the high seas! Massive thanks to everyone who was on the MORC 2025 cruise and who gave MSG and all the bands so much awesome support. What a line-up of bands it was!
So great to be able to meet up with so many old and new friends too.

So Zelenskyy, as the dignified one, wanted to put egos to one side and go straight back and continue negotiations with Trump and his team on what could seriously define the future of the world.
However, all a sulking Trump could say was, "He wants to come back right now; I can't do that."

While Trump is still rolling out his typical playground-bully-speak, the rest of us have to come to terms with the fact that yesterday proved beyond a doubt that the US has changed allegiance and is now fully aligned with Russia, not Europe.

Can you believe Trump actually posted this video?!

With Trump now firmly allied with Russia, China, Israel and North Korea, I can't help but wonder if the US will change its allegiance back to Europe again if the Democrats win the US presidency in 4 years time. Will there even be another election?

By supporting the AfD, the entire former East Germany has endorsed racism, right-wing extremism, "remigration," isolation from Europe, and the end of democracy. God help us.

It's all a game to Musk isn't it? This chainsaw was supposed to represent the savage job cuts he's imposing on federal employees. Musk's sickly grin contrasts with the stark reality of the loss of livelihoods of thousands who virtually have to beg to keep their jobs. It's heartless and depraved.

What's going on? First, the US courts Russia, China, and N. Korea as trusted friends, and then VP Vance demonises Europe as being undemocratic. I get the feeling there's a lot more to Musk and Trump's supposedly impromptu ramblings than meets the eye. Is this a New World Order in the making?

It's funny how it takes a rogue state like North Korea to have the tenacity to tell it like it is.

North Korea has called for the US to stop ‘encroaching upon the dignity and sovereignty’ of the Palestinian people.

Can people who voted Republican put their hands on their hearts and *honestly* say they feel good about the proposed illegal ethnic cleansing of Gaza? Is this what they voted for? Is such dehumanisation of Palestinians actually making America great again? Or is it turning it into a pariah state?

Now Trump's imperialistic and autocratic intentions are beyond any doubt, I wonder how many Trump voters are regretting their choice. If there was an election tomorrow, would he win again?
The stuff of absolute nightmares.

Trump's proposed "clearing out" of Gaza is a disgrace both morally and politically and emphasises how his level of compassion is zero. Since the Balfour Declaration in 1917, the Palestinians have suffered terrible oppression and injustice and now the US just wants to sweep them away. It's grotesque.

The clock is currently at 90s to midnight. It's never been that close before since its creation in 1947. We've all been hoping for a respite, but I fear now we can only move closer to midnight. We'll find out in a couple of hours.
