Countries that have adopted electric vehicles the fastest will suffer the least from oil price spikes caused by the US/Israel attack on Iran.
NZ is not one of those, thanks to Luxon’s poor leadership.
Noem is gone, sort of, but there are lessons to be learned from her tenure, how she was fired, and why it didn’t happen earlier, why the Senate confirmed her in the first place, that we can”t afford to ignore joycevance.substack.com/p/fired-but-...
Trump allows Russians to interfere in our elections. He does nothing when they pay bounties on our soldiers, and now he doesn’t care when Russia helps Iran kill Americans. A weak President.
Make no mistake, Russian soldiers have committed atrocities in Ukraine — things we haven’t seen since WWII. Over 25,000 people, including women and children, were slaughtered in Mariupol alone, and Russia continues to bomb cities, schools and hospitals. Sickening.
This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

Thanks to a Prop 1 investment of $65 million, 6 vacant state-owned buildings are being turned into 162 housing and mental health treatment beds.
Californians deserve swift action to address our state’s behavioral health crisis – and today, we’re delivering.
The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.
Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.
Wonder why that is?
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump + We just concluded a very good meeting with the largest U.S. Defense Manufacturing Companies where we discussed Production and Production Schedules. They have agreed to quadruple Production of the "Exquisite Class" Weaponry in that we want to reach, as rapidly as possible, the highest levels of quantity. Expansion began three months prior to the meeting, and Plants and Production of many of these Weapons are already under way. We have a virtually unlimited supply of Medium and Upper Medium Grade Munitions, which we are using, as an example, in Iran, and recently used in Venezuela. Regardless, however, we have also increased Orders at these levels. The Companies represented were the CEOs of BAE Systems, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Missile Solutions, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. The meeting concluded with another meeting scheduled in two months. States all over the Country are bidding for these new Plants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Another one not written by Trump but which shows how much he’s been stung by the analysis that the US is running out of munitions.
Can’t be a big bully if you’ve only got a tiny stick.
We haven’t been “winning” like this in forty three years.
A beautiful tribute to Kristi Noem.
I thought it was leading up to a strike on a girls school.

Is this a coincidence that we in Ukraine are having a sharp decrease in the number of Russian Shahed attacks these days?
I mean, it’s very noticeable. Same goes about Russian massive missile attacks.
Yes. I just can't.

Tragedy and farce, at the same time.
Interesting that among the few advance plans we made are those that benefit Russia. See my longer essay on Oligarchic Corridors.

Four years ago these days in Kyiv.
That was a university lecturer's desk, and the rifle was his, too.
Suits him.
I have a feeling Trump won’t remain in office until 2029.
He has become far too, far too, far too mad and dangerous in his behavior, and in the consequences of his madness, and he’s dragging far too many people down with him.
It's all way too much already.
Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates serving as background props while Trump rambles about war as bombs fall on Iran (1200+ civilian dead so far) was not a good look. The team's PR department should have read the global room better and postponed the meet-and-greet. It was a major cringe.
Great piece about a unique time in this city
It's a lovely tribute to them.
Coup tactics
As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.
wtf? Someone might tell the White House that Russia is on Iran’s side.
While Kristi Noem funneled $220M in taxpayer funds into self-promoting political ads, she refused to distribute $500M+ in FEMA funding for LA Fire survivors.
The Trump Administration must immediately release that relief and redirect those wasted ad dollars to recovery efforts.
It’s a Republican legacy
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldIrump X.com The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....
He’s right, you know. Wait…
