Trump’s Nuclear Power Obsession

Donald Trump on May 23rd declared nuclear power to be “a hot industry.” Nuclear power plants are “very safe and environmental,” he said. He made the claims as he issued executive orders to quadruple nuclear energy capacity in the United States.

He failed to mention that nuclear power plants are subject to catastrophic accidents—such as the Fukushima, Chernobyl and Three Mile Island disasters. And in routine operation, they release deadly radioactive emissions. Also, the nuclear fuel cycle—including mining, milling, enrichment of nuclear fuel—is highly carbon-intensive.

He missed the fact that in pure economic terms they portend the largest economic debacle in human history. He omitted mention of who would pay for 300+ new nuclear plants in the U.S. to be built under his executive orders. (There are currently 94 nuclear plants operating in the U.S.)

Remember America’s Dead on the USS Liberty

It often pays, literally, to be perceived as a perpetual victim, a status that Israel and the Jewish institutional constituency have exploited relentlessly since 1945. It is now eighty years since the Second World War ended and the numbers of those receiving “holocaust” reparations from the German government hardly seems to diminish and may now include children of survivors who presumably were somehow damaged in the womb after the conflict ended and the camps in Europe were “liberated.” More than 20,000 Jews fled to Shanghai in China before and during the war, avoiding the prison camps in Europe, but they too are reported to be eligible for reparations.

Make America Racist Again

Basically, everyone knows that “making America great again” means making America racist again – making racism the cultural norm again, unlocking the cage of political correctness and freeing, you know, regular Americans to strut again in a sense of superiority.

This cultural norm was “stolen” by the civil rights movement. Prior to the changes the movement wrought – I’m old enough to remember those days – polite ladies at church could say, “Oh my, that’s very white of you.” And lynchings were not only normal but quasi-legal, or so it seemed, far more likely to result in postcards than convictions.

Ex-hostage felt safer in Hamas captivity than in Israel

Israel's rape crisis centers got 55,000 complaints in 2023 and reported that 81% of sex offense cases closed without indictment for that year. Most victims were minors attacked by people they knew, according to a report by Eve Young in the Jerusalem Post on November 18, 2024. The JP is the largest English-language daily paper in Israel. Among its latest and most highly publicized victim is Mia Schem, who is a French-Israeli national freed from Hamas captivity in November 2023. She filed a rape complaint against Tel Aviv fitness trainer Nati Avidan. “I am the complainant,” Schem stated. Avidan, a prominent figure in Tel Aviv’s celebrity fitness scene, is under investigation for allegedly drugging and raping Schem three days before her wedding. Schem, who trained at Avidan’s studio, claims he invited her to an apartment, spiked her drink with a date-rape drug, and assaulted her. After the incident and being disoriented, she confided in a friend who took her to a hospital, where staff confirmed signs of rape.

Hiding Exploitation Behind an App

Alejandro thought that driving full-time for Uber offered freedom — flexible hours, quick cash, and time to care for his young son. But that promise faded fast.

“There are hours when I make $20,” he told me. “And there are hours when I make $2.” As his pay dropped, he pawned his computer and camera, began rationing his insulin, and started driving seven days a week just to break even.

Alejandro, whose real name is withheld for his privacy, is one of millions of workers powering a billion-dollar labor model built on legal loopholes.
