It appears, UK Prime Minister Starmer still has not understood, the US is out of the alliance. Starmer:

"The UK will work to ensure we keep the US and Europe together. We cannot allow any divisions in the alliance to distract from the external enemies we face."

In my view, the solution is not to fantasize that Trump could be Biden. The solution is to realize that the US that was is gone, and Europe must now carry the torch of freedom on its own.

Trump's administration accidentally fires 300 people from a department handling the US nuclear weapons, then tries to walk back the decision.

This is lethal amateurism, and it will end up getting Americans killed.

Fox News host Pete Hegseth was in NATO, where he claimed that returning Ukraine's territories to Ukraine is "an unrealistic objective".

What an absolute coward.

Putin must be defeated.

"When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one", said Trump, and this is what US voters are now facing:

"It is time for every American patriot to stand up"

Wow! Attorney General Kris Mayes has the floor:

The Russian stock exchange rises 6 percent after Putin’s phone call with Trump, and Trump’s remarks about Putin keeping the occupied territories.

The US has lost its role as a world leader.

Imagine if Franklin D. Roosevelt had told Europe, that returning France to its prewar borders was not "realistic", now that Hitler had invaded.

This is how Trump is communicating about Ukraine.

For the rest of our lives, Europeans will remember that 77 million Americans voted for a coward.

I feel sad for every US citizen who really wanted the US to move forward and are now seeing everything falling apart.

And I especially feel sad for the elders — people who remember how fascism brought the world to a breaking point in World War II. People who do not just say “never again” but feel it with every bone in their body. They recognize what the MAGA movement is. They know what is comming.

I hope, Trump can be stopped with peaceful means before it is too late. The people deserve it.

Trump claims the people of Greenland have been treated "very bad" by The Kingdom of Denmark, but the US will take over Greenland which will treat the people very good. So today the Republicans held a Senate hearing about the US annexation of Greenland.

The hearing invited an expert from Texas Mineral Resources who explained how Greenland has natural resources which can be used in American electric car batteries.

Guess who were not invited…

The people of Greenland.

44 million Ukrainians have been attacked by a ruthless dictator. European countries have invested 125 billion euro in defeating Russia. But forget all that, because a Fox News host says that defending democracy is not realistic, and this whole war thing is too expensive anyway.

It is time for the democratic countries to decouple from the failed US leadership and take the lead.

Russia must be defeated.

With all the media people still clinging on to X, I find it refreshing every time I meet some who have moved to Mastodon.

Today I found radio host Bernice Hillier from the Canadian state of Newfoundland and Labrador.

I hope she gets a million followers:

MAGA farmers voting for Trump, only to have USAID shut down, thereby ending the $2.1 billion in food purchases from… American farmers.

#TrumpChaos

All my life I have been listening to the excuse, that the US had to be flooded with weapons, because if a dictator ever came to power, these weapons were the guarantee that the people could defend the US against the dictator.

They did not.

They voted for him.

“So I did not bring down grocery prices as promised, and I did not end the war in Ukraine as promised, and I am starting conflicts with multiple allies, while I am dismantling the federal government, and our stock market is in decline… but here is a plastic straw for you — enjoy!”

While Putin is filmed dreaming about going to Mars (picture 1), numerous reports show Russian soldiers are being issued donkeys for transportation of military equipment — yes, the actual donkey animals — because the Russian army is falling apart (picture 2).

Does this person named Sarah McBride look like someone you would introduce as “Mister McBride”?

That is what Republicans are now doing on the US House floor to demonstrate their contempt for humans who are transgender.

A big compliment to Sarah for not taking the bait, and instead just delivering the punches she came to deliver.

Enjoy the best 84 seconds of this entire week. The man on fire here is US House representative Al Green.

(To Europeans: The English word “dastardly” means evil and cruel)

Living in the US now is like living in Germany under the Nazi takeover — but with live streaming.

Author J. K. Rowling celebrates that Donald Trump signs an executive order which will take funding from schools that allow transgender boys and girls to participate in sports.

I do not know how to solve this complex sports issue, but having an old orange guy force through a solution which segregates a minority group of children from society is definitely NOT something to celebrate.

My sincerest apologies to the #transgender community. In good faith I tried to explain an interesting interview I did with a person born a man, now a transgender woman.

Because I am not perfect, I accidentally wrote man where I meant woman. This was certainly not intentional, and I have now corrected the post.

I seriously loathe how Trump is treating this minority, and all I wanted was to explain why this is not fair.
