Suggest you view Hiroshima Mon Amour or one of the Soviet archive films of the clinical treatment of Chernobyl victims. Nuclear power is a wonder its risks as a weapon or otherwise recklessly abused should not be relegated to a "topic Of pseudo intellectual academic sophistry". People will die!!

Spot on. They will take down Due Process, the Rule of Law and Evidence-based science along with us as they throw our Democracy --paid for in the blood of 250 years of patriots--on the trash heap of history for the sake of enriching their circle of friends.

Revelations. Pat Robertson was the first Christian Nationalist pol to fundraise off of being a phony anti-AntiSemite. It's been a core tactic of the Christian Right for 55 years...

And his pet policy wonk Steven Miller is Jewish. behaving so inconsistently with Judaism's ethical tenants that his own family (including Holocaust survivors) have openly repudiated his actions on Trump's behalf. Strange little man .

The Progressive left (including many academic Jews-students-& adult faculty who should know better) have adopted a categorical approach conflating Judaism with Zionism & both with Netanyahu's bloodthirsty Gaza Strategy.

Indeed. My roster of Trump horribles is pretty much the same. Many of us American secular Jews are having to struggle with assaults from multiple quarters: MAGA carries the Christian Nationalist Pat Robertson legacy of the Revelations / Armageddon myth, befriending ISRAEL (NOT Jews)!

You don't have to be "anti Zionist" to condemn Netanyahu's government its prosecution of a revenge-laden strategy in Gaza and its generally self-destructive policy towards Palestinians....

For nearly 4000 years, NO antisemite has EVER needed a "reason" to hate Jews. Now, sadly, for a year and a half Netanyahu is giving EVERYONE a reason to hate Jews--including many of us Jews who support the state of Israel. the concept of Zionism-but condemn the Israel's bloodthirsty Gaza tactics.

A lower court ruled them illegal under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Supporters say tariffs protect jobs and security; critics argue they exceed authority and raise consumer costs. The issue remains unresolved, with arguments set for July 31, 2025.
comment in response to
post
The claim that a federal appeals court ruled the U.S. can use tariffs to protect itself is inaccurate. On June 10, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit allowed Trump's tariffs to stay in effect during an appeal, not affirming their legality.

In my years in D.C., I was never once accused of NOT occasionally being "weirdly fair": it's a cliché, but if your decision as an arbitrator pisses off both sides, it is very often the correct outcome....

Gov Newsom needs to be cautious: Trump recanting on authority of the CA National Guard places him in a risky Hobson's Choice situation. The last big black eye for the militia concept of the NatGd happened in May 1970 @ Kent State. If CA takes command back, he would do well to assure NO LIVE ROUNDS!

This is-along w/ climate change & starvation-an existential issue our Nation/world are facing (& to which Biden Admin devoted enormous-if insufficient) effort , BUT WHICH Trump/lackies are ignoring in a gleeful race to the bottom of public policy stewardship. This THING is not Theirs to DESTROY!

Trump's insincerity and campaign lies have abundantly revealed themselves to Musk. Musk's wealth-rooted disdain for rules, their misreading of each other's racist tribalism, Trump's apparent impatience with Musk's immaturity and demeanor. These have given each ample "grounds" for this divorce.

The relationship is rooted in mendacious self-interest creating a parasitic symbiosis, and once one of the creatures (Musk) no longer sees a benefit from what he's contributing to the co-joinment, there is inevitably going to be a distancing, friction and ultimately separation.

Others may have already made this observation, but as the cable pundits debate/mythologize "what's at the root of the Musk-Trump denouement ?" I for one have my own assessment-- rooted in part in Kara Swisher's sage observations about the underlying pathology of both: their bromance never existed.

Indeed, with constantly equivocating "friends" like Trump we Jews certainly don't need anymore closeted enemies-like the entire MAGA movement. They simply can't tolerate the proposition that one can be a pro-Israel Zionist and yet condemn Netanyahu and his government/prosecution of Gaza disaster...

suspect SOME U.S. Admin. will work out a long-term U.S. UAE presence (Clark AFB style) before the TSMC fab is operational. The loyalties of these sheiks is simply not reliable long-term.
