So Giorgia Meloni went to see Trump. One thing you can be sure of, she knows how to talk to mob bosses.

Been saying this for years, now the Chinese said it: “The US is not getting ripped off, the problem is the US has been living beyond its means for decades. It consumes more than it produces. It has outsourced its manufacturing and borrowed to have a higher standard of living."

I just finished reading Heather Cox's last newsletter and it was very disturbing to the point that I felt "I have to do something", set up a resistance group or something. Then I started to watch Bill Mahers report of his lunch with Trump, who couldn't stop saying how nice he was. Really?

So Putin says to Trump: Lets get Ukraine to have new elections, which we will fix, get Zelensky out and a pro Russia guy in, and then we'll settle the peace deal, that we will give you all the credit for. Trump: Fine with me, I'll set it up when he comes to the White House.

So this is really what it is all about, bit late coming to the surface, while keeping us all on the 'landgrabbing Putin' track. The US just pretending to be ideological was a bit farfetched anyway. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Is Trump wrong? Numbers say EU + UK spent more on Ukraine war effort than the US over the last 3 years. No reason to keep EU out of peace talks with Russia. And certainly no reason why US should benefit from Ukraine's minerals. www.corriere.it/economia/fin...

Americans keep saying that they are a rich, maybe the richest, country in the world. But that is not true, by many standards, the US is a poor country, it has just allowed some people to become extremely wealthy.

I referenced this the other day at an event and got the sense that most people had never heard of it, but looking to be ahead of its time! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aUt...

What happened to 'equal justice for all', no more than a slap on the wrist and a 'god bless, go about your business'. Nothing about the contempt of court. How is anybody going to believe this. Did this judge finally bend in the strong headwind? I am so disappointed.

What I find absolutely ludicrous is that, while horrific things are happening, I get news pushed in my face by Google & other media points, that Elon Musk has changed his name on X. Is that the algorithm that they figured I am interested in? And even if I was, which I am not, is it even world news?

A taste of #Italy in the fall in Tagliolo in the Basso Monferrato of #Piedmont. Roasted chestnuts, wine, porcini mushrooms..

Ever thanked a waiter, cook, or restaurant owner with a handshake or heartfelt gratitude? In Italy, it's common—and so simple. Tipping can confuse, but real appreciation doesn’t have to. Sometimes, an authentic “thank you” means more than money. It's about connection, not cash. What do you think?
