Finally Bold Kallas is back.

But with these comments, the EU's foreign policy chief risks being rebuked again by her half-boss 🇪🇺President von der Leyen - who eschews any criticism of 🇺🇸.

Kallas's other half-boss is Council - the 27 🇪🇺 foreign ministers.

Trump men tend to complain a lot and want control, maybe that’s why they don’t get women

The men that I know are a diverse bunch who have always considered women as equals

They are great

Black, White, Indian, Hispanic, rich, poor, privileged, British, German, Canadian, etc.

A more honest and accurate headline would be:

"Trump assured massive profits to fuel Putin's war on Europe while simultaneously paying off oil execs who bankrolled his campaign."

Mamdani is considering ending free street parking in NYC. This would be another huge boost to NYC residents' quality of life, reducing traffic in ways that would be comparable to congestion pricing. And it would be another step in ending suburban free-riding on NYC.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

Palantir CEO thinks his AI tech will lessen the power of ‘highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat’ while increasing the power of working-class men.

“This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less.”

The Iran War Is Also Now a Semiconductor Problem The conflict is exposing the deep energy vulnerabilities of Korea’s chip industry.

Why Korea & Taiwans stock markets are tanking
No Gulf energy ->No manufacturing of Chips -> No Sales to AI data centers
And why Asia is rationing electricity, fertilizers & industries
Those shutdowns will RUN through world economy

The Iranian regime was wobbling during the protests. Trump could have financially/practically helped opposition figures. It might actually have worked, but he never gave a damn about Iranians. The most effective & least dangerous path to regime change was blocked off by his lack of empathy.
