With more of my life behind me than ahead, still baking bread, still cooking and trying to find words to explain what’s going on in the world. I dislike inequality. Another new Leither.

French lower house votes through wealth tax. A 2% minimum tax rate on the wealth of individuals whose net worth exceeds €100m. It is not yet law. UK needs to do similar to reduce inequalities. Instead govts penalise low/middle income families and make poor pay more for crumbling infrastructure.

Unionists in Scotland often scoff at memes like this and treat them with scorn. What I would like to see is a similar Unionist meme showing us the advantages of being in the Union. Anyone?

Every defence and security system we have is entangled with the US. Even GPS is wholly owned by the US Space Force. Our intelligence is automatically shared with the US, whose bases here are allowed to spy on our own citizens. So if the US is now an enemy power, the enemy is already here.

The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution initiated by Ukraine and European countries. It designates Russia as an aggressor state and demands the withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine's internationally recognized borders. The United States and several other countries voted against it.

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

Important counterpoints that need to be added to the overall relief that the AfD didn't win more than expected in Germany tonight. (A relief I share, but Tanja is right nonetheless.)

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Musk again expressed his support for the far right AfD, this time by sharing a video with a speech by Höcke—who holds the most extreme far right positions. I am not clear what those still on X are waiting for; nor why X is not being banned. There is no way to understate the danger Musk and X pose.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

There's a concerted effort to have BRITISH Whisky. This means, the UK Government would want 'Scotch" Whisky to become 'British' and made ANYWHERE in the UK. If you think there's nothing insidious in this, you probably laughed at people who had Japanese Cars in the 70s and Mobile Phones in the 80s.
