A comedic bit imagines rapture logistics as travel-planning anxiety. He riffs on packing questions — USB cables, outlet types in Jerusalem, weather in the clouds — alongside a passing remark that Jimmy Kimmel is "coming back on the day of the rapture," before deciding he'll just stay put.
He frames a named list of prosecution targets as itself the "accurate reporting." Responding to a clip demanding accurate reporting, he lists figures the speaker has said should be prosecuted — including Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Liz Cheney, Hillary Clinton, Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, James Comey, Adam Schiff, Andrew McCabe, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Mark Milley, John Brennan, James Clapper, Chris Krebs, Gavin Newsom, Anthony Fauci, Jerome Powell, George Soros, and Mark Zuckerberg — and notes the same person's actions led to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from his show and a global boycott of Disney.
A political lie is aimed at believers, not skeptics. He argues that once you can already see the cracks in a lie, you were never its target; it's built for the audience that wants to believe it, so it can be clipped, shared, and amplified.
The outrage-driven media ecosystem sells the viewer, not to the viewer. He frames the lie as currency within that system, arguing that outrage, frustration, and division are the actual product being sold, with the audience as the commodity rather than the customer.
The public statement is a performance staged for someone else. He closes by telling viewers to recognize the act for what it is and to identify who it's really meant to persuade, since they merely happen to be present while it's filmed.
Mr. GlobalInvestor Owned Utilities #news #truth #breakingnews #trump
A "regulatory compact" guarantees investor-owned utilities a profit regardless of usage. He explains that in exchange for accepting regulation, utilities are granted monopoly status and a guaranteed profit margin of roughly 9–11%, and as high as 14% in some states.
Capital spending enriches the utility even as it's billed to customers. He argues that when a utility spends a billion dollars on the grid, customers pay for it, and afterward the utility owns a larger, more valuable asset capable of carrying even more electricity.
A shrinking customer base drives per-customer costs up exponentially. As cheaper, easier solar installation pulls more customers off the grid, he argues the remaining customers must cover the same total cost, a trend he says is already underway and is his reason for concluding utilities shouldn't be private.
Mr. GlobalCandace Owens #news #truth #breakingnews #trump
He accuses Candace Owens of exploiting a friend's death for attention. He characterizes her recent commentary as consistent with a long pattern of seeking attention, predicting she knows her claims will draw a large conspiracy-minded audience and that she'll "milk that cow until it's dry."
Mr. GlobalHulu’s Mistake #news #truth #breakingnews
He reports Hulu's ad blitz backfired after a mass cancellation wave. He says one Hulu ad drew over 400 comments, nearly all saying "you're cancelled" rather than engaging with the ad content, and reads this as evidence the advertising spend is reinforcing the backlash rather than countering it.
Mr. GlobalAmerica First? #news #trump #truth #breakingnews
Ted Cruz warned it's dangerous for government to threaten broadcasters over content it dislikes. In a played clip, Cruz cites the pressure to pull Jimmy Kimmel off air and says the precedent could later be used to silence conservatives.
He reads Cruz's objection as self-interested rather than principled. He counts roughly six times in the clip where Cruz frames the danger as harm to conservatives specifically, arguing Cruz never invokes the First Amendment or free speech as a universal right.
He generalizes the complaint to politicians broadly. He asks whether any politician can frame an issue as being about America rather than about their own side's advantage, and concludes he doubts one can be found.
The US ambassador to Canada is reported puzzled by Canadian anti-American sentiment. He identifies the ambassador as Pete Hoekstra, who expressed disappointment that Canadians aren't more passionate about the US-Canada relationship despite Canada's "elbows up" campaign.
He attributes the sentiment to roughly 75 million Americans, not to Trump policy alone. He argues it was ordinary Americans turning on Canada because Trump told them to that did the most damage, more than any specific policy Trump enacted.
He reads this as evidence Trump can turn Americans against each other too. He argues that if Trump could mobilize mass hatred of another country with a few words, the same mechanism works domestically among Americans.
Oklahoma's Supreme Court halted new K-12 social studies standards that taught election-fraud claims. The standards, developed with input from conservative think tanks under superintendent Ryan Walters and including the claim the 2020 election was rigged, drew lawsuits and a court hold despite opposition from some conservative state lawmakers; he predicts the court will ultimately strike the standards down.
Mr. GlobalGas Prices #news #trump #truth #breakingnews #gasprices #oil #gas
A commenter blamed blue-state gas taxes for gas prices exceeding year-ago levels. He rebuts this by pointing to red states with higher prices than a year ago: Texas and Florida both up 7 cents a gallon, Ohio up 14 cents, and Alaska up 20 cents, alongside Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
California, a blue state, is reported cheaper than a year ago. He notes gas there is roughly 15 cents a gallon lower year-over-year, while acknowledging Washington and Oregon are more expensive than last year.
He attributes the national average move to a weighted calculation, not tax policy. He argues Texas and Florida's larger populations carry more weight in the national average than Washington and Oregon, which undercuts the blue-state-tax explanation.
Unqualified hires through personal connections are common in the oil and gas industry. He says nearly everyone in the industry has complained about a boss or coworker who got the job through a brother-in-law, friend, or relative rather than merit, and says this pattern skews white.
Despite knowing this, people don't feel nervous around white professionals in high-stakes roles. He contrasts this with the wariness some feel toward other groups, even while knowing the connected-hire problem statistically makes a white professional more likely to be underqualified.
He labels the discrepancy "white comfort," a bias people often don't recognize they hold. He frames this gap between known risk and felt trust as an unexamined assumption rather than a reasoned judgment.
He doubts Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure will reverse falling US rig counts. Despite oil and gas prices rising on the strikes, he argues OPEC's production increases starting next month make the current situation different from past wartime periods when rig counts climbed, though he allows that a long-term, large-scale loss of Russian output could eventually change oil companies' investment decisions.
Mr. Global2 Days #news #trump #truth #breakingnews
He contrasts a past dismissal of political-violence warnings with events two days later. Replaying a clip questioning whether violent rhetoric ever leads to real violence, he notes it has "happened twice" in the two days since the clip was recorded.
Mr. GlobalPants On Fire! #news #trump #truth #breakingnews
He argues the Epstein case's physical evidence undercuts claims that accusers lied. Pointing to flight logs, an island used to bring in young girls, Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction on two trafficking counts, and thousands of electronic payments from wealthy individuals, he predicts the story will keep resurfacing because both Republicans and Democrats want answers, and expects more "distractions" aimed at burying it.
He says Congress, not Biden, authorized SPR sales unrelated to a foreign crisis. Responding to a claim that SPR oil should only be sold for a foreign crisis, he says lawmakers passed five pieces of legislation selling 240 million barrels to fund Trump's tax cuts, his budget, the FAST Act, the Cures Act, and the 2015 budget, then later called the sales destructive; he adds that oil would be gone either way and that some of it would otherwise be sold now at $62 a barrel versus $94.
Mr. GlobalElectric Bills #news #truth #breakingnews #gasprices
A viewer reports their bill jumped from $830 to $1,253 in a month. He responds that he's warned for two years this was coming and that last summer and winter's high bills were "just the beginning," not a peak.
Seven more utility companies nationwide are reported seeking additional rate hikes. He says these requests cover millions of customers and predicts bills will keep climbing even for people who haven't yet seen an increase.
He blames the underlying cause on dysfunctional government rather than grid mechanics. He argues that debates over grid capacity and power generation are secondary to political leaders serving donors instead of the public, leaving people unable to afford basic utilities.
He blames the "big beautiful" budget bill for the Willow Project's revised-down revenue. Alaska's projected income from the ConocoPhillips project fell from $6.3 billion to $2.6 billion, which he attributes to the bill's oil-industry giveaways applying retroactively to existing projects — including roughly a 25% cut to Alaska's 50/50 royalty share and expanded lease-expense deductions — and predicts state politicians will avoid discussing it.
Mr. GlobalSummer vs Winter Blend Gas #news #truth #breakingnews #gasprices
EPA-mandated seasonal gasoline blends explain the price swing, not politics. Summer gasoline requires lower Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) to prevent evaporation and smog across hundreds of millions of vehicles, which requires costlier additives and coincides with higher summer driving demand.
Winter blend is cheaper mainly because it substitutes butane for those additives. He says gasoline can contain up to 10% butane in winter, a cheap component that lowers production cost and pairs with lower winter driving demand.
The September 15 switchover date doesn't apply everywhere. He notes California gets winter blend about a month later, and he believes Maricopa County, Arizona may also be exempt from the standard date.
Alaska's Willow Project subsidies now reportedly exceed the revenue it will generate. New figures cut the state's projected take on the ConocoPhillips project from $6.3 billion to $2.6 billion, and he says the tax credits and subsidies Alaska is giving ConocoPhillips are now greater than the total revenue it will receive, which he attributes to higher project costs — including steel prices — and lower oil prices from OPEC's market-share gains.
He argues domestic disinformation outpaces foreign bot campaigns. Responding to a clip blaming Russian and Chinese bots for encouraging violence, he contends American politicians and media produce comparable disinformation under the labels "politics" or "entertainment," and that people are more at risk from trusting familiar domestic figures than from spotting foreign bots, which he says most people can already identify.
He rejects efforts to blame Tyler Robinson's college environment for his actions. Noting that roughly 19 million people are enrolled in US colleges and that Robinson attended one of the country's most conservative schools, he argues against pinning the shooting on ideological exposure there, and says the fuller explanation will surface with time rather than being forced now.
Mr. GlobalNatural Gas Outlook #news #truth #trump #breakingnews #gasprices #gas
He expects natural gas jobs to stay secure while oil work faces a downturn. He says he's advised people since Trump's election to seek work in gas-intensive plays like Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and the Haynesville, and argues the US-OPEC oil price war will boost natural gas further, in sharp contrast to the outlook for oil.
Mr. GlobalHow Do You Support Those You Don’t Believe? #news #truth #trump #breakingnews
He challenges a self-described supporter who admits the president lies constantly. Reacting to someone's post saying they still support Trump despite calling him a "pathological liar" and alleging his party is covering up the Epstein files, he argues the person cannot actually know what policies they're backing if, by their own account, everything the president says is false.
Mr. GlobalEV’s #news #truth #breakingnews #gasprices
He says EV owners' own reviews are overwhelmingly positive despite skeptics' narratives. He reports fielding EV-purchase questions from roughly 50 people a day, and says that across five or six years of discussing EVs he has seen almost no buyer-regret comments, estimating around 99.99% of EV owners' comments say they would never go back to gas; he recommends asking actual owners rather than non-owners.

Mr. GlobalChina Russia Deal #news #trump #truth #breakingnews
Russia and China signed a deal for what's described as the world's largest natural gas pipeline. Following a summit including Putin, Xi Jinping, Modi, and Kim Jong-un, the deal routes gas from Russia's Yamal Peninsula to China via the Power of Siberia system.
He reads this as displacing US ambitions to supply Asian gas markets. He argues years of US effort to secure those markets are now lost to Russia, which gains a buyer locked in for the next 30 years.
He calls the deal a foreign-policy failure that undercuts US leverage over Russia. He argues that a Russia with a guaranteed 30-year gas customer becomes far harder for the US to economically isolate over actions like the war in Ukraine, and blames the Trump administration for not grasping the link between trade and diplomacy.
Mr. GlobalOPEC Increases Production #news #truth #trump #breakingnews #gasprices
OPEC's output increase undercuts the US "drill baby drill" push. In a 13-minute meeting, OPEC agreed to raise production by 137,000 barrels a day every month from October through next September; he says analysts are calling it comparable to 2020's price collapse.
Winter-blend gasoline and falling oil prices should bring relief at the pump. Winter blend arrives within a week and alone could cut prices by 30 cents a gallon, and he expects oil to fall further, with most analysts projecting it below $60 a barrel.
Gas prices are headed down as winter-blend fuel reaches pumps. The seasonal fuel switch arrives in the second week of September and can cut prices 20 to 30 cents a gallon on its own; he says weakening demand and OPEC's latest production increase are adding further downward pressure on oil. Northern states will see it first, while California is roughly a month behind.
He warns drivers not to spend the savings. He says the money saved at the pump will likely be needed to cover other rising costs, like electric and food bills.
Mr. GlobalSnooze Button #news #truth #breakingnews
The snooze button's 9-minute length is a leftover mechanical-clock limitation. He says early alarm clocks couldn't fit a two-digit snooze interval into their mechanism, so 9 minutes became the maximum, a default he says persists on phones today.
He credits the button's inventor, Seth Thomas, with causing widespread daily harm. He argues repeated snoozing raises heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol, and leaves users fatigued for the rest of the day.
He cites usage figures showing the habit is widespread. He says roughly 50% of people use the snooze button and 15% hit it three or more times, placing himself in that latter group.
Mr. GlobalEV’s #news #truth #breakingnews #gasprices
He argues charging time, not range anxiety, is the bigger barrier to EV adoption. Responding to a viewer demanding 500 miles of range and a 10-minute full recharge unaffected by cold, he says busy parents don't have 30 minutes to spare waiting for a charge, even though many gas vehicles don't hit 500 miles on a tank either. He predicts it will be "game on for EVs" once charging time matches a gas fill-up and fast-charging infrastructure is widely available.
Mr. GlobalEV Anxiety #news #truth #breakingnews #gasprices
He says EV hesitancy is driven by psychology, not daily practicality. Responding to comments noting 90% of EV charging happens at home overnight, he agrees but argues buyers fixate on the rare one or two times they might need to charge on the road, the same way people buy pickup trucks they rarely need hauling capacity for. He concludes that "selling cars is about psychology," not what's practical.
The deadliest disaster in US public school history is tied to the oil and gas industry. He describes the 1937 New London, Texas school explosion, where the district tapped into a nearby oil field's gas line to avoid a $300 monthly heating bill rather than pay for utility gas.
A leak of unodorized gas filled the school's basement before a spark ignited it. He says a spark from a sander triggered the blast, and the practice of tapping into raw field gas lines was common at the time.
Over 300 people, mostly children aged 11 to 16, were killed. He says the tragedy drew condolences even from Adolf Hitler, and points to a Dispatch article for further detail.
California may pay Valero $200 million to keep a refinery open. He reports lawmakers are considering covering maintenance costs at Valero's Benicia refinery with taxpayer money, after an earlier state effort to help Valero sell the plant appears to have failed.
He links the deal to Gavin Newsom's 2028 political prospects. He had previously predicted that California refinery closures could push gas prices toward $8 a gallon by then, which he frames as a liability for a potential Newsom presidential run.
He questions the authenticity and significance of a reported Trump note to Epstein. He speculates about what the note's reference to a shared "secret" means, calls for a handwriting expert to verify the signature, and argues that writing such a note would have been a "low IQ move" — while also asking whether it even matters at this point.
AI-driven data center growth is outstripping the grid's capacity. He says US data center electricity use will triple within three years, and Northern Virginia's "Data Center Alley" alone already handles 70% of global internet traffic.
Power plant retirements are far outrunning new capacity additions. He cites the EIA projecting about 12 gigawatts of retirements this year, 65% more than last year, versus a Department of Energy estimate of only 22 gigawatts of new firm generation by 2030 against the over 100 gigawatts he says is needed.
He argues the grid's strain is political, not technical. He says the grid itself likely won't collapse, but household budgets will as bills rise, and whether the underlying problem gets fixed depends on policymakers.
Mr. GlobalStop Telling MAGA Trump Is A Liar, They Know, They Just Don’t Care
Telling Trump supporters he lies is pointless because they already know. He says he's watched a pro-Trump creator who consistently criticizes the administration's dishonesty yet never withdraws support, which he calls the defining difference between MAGA voters and everyone else.
He blames the lying epidemic on voters never punishing it at the ballot box. Because people prioritize their side winning over holding politicians accountable, he argues, political dishonesty will keep escalating unchecked.
He frames voting as an endorsement of a candidate's character. He says he cannot support a "pathological narcissistic liar" of any party, contrasting today's politics with a past era when presidents were widely revered.
Mr. Global"Trump's Massive Foreign Policy Failure Unites China and Russia In Huge Energy Deal"
Russia and China signed a deal for the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline. It would run from Russia's Yamal Peninsula through Mongolia to China, carrying over 50 billion cubic meters of gas annually, with him separately citing an eventual Chinese purchase volume exceeding 100 billion cubic meters a year.
He calls the deal a major US foreign-policy failure. By giving Moscow a replacement market for gas lost when Europe cut Russian energy over the war in Ukraine, he argues it blunts Western sanctions and increases Russia's ability to act without economic consequence.
He ties China's halt on US LNG imports to Trump's tariff rhetoric. China stopped buying American LNG in the administration's first week, he says, and with Beijing now locked into 30 years of discounted Russian gas, US LNG exporters' long-sought Asian market share is largely gone.
Mr. Global"OPEC Just Declared an Oil War on America"
OPEC announced a full year of monthly oil-production increases. Hikes of over 137,000 barrels a day begin in October and run through August 2026, on top of the 2.2 million barrels a day already restored, and he expects oil to fall below $60, possibly to $58-59, in the next session.
He says this differs from OPEC's 2020 market flood. Lower prices, aided by the seasonal switch to cheaper winter-blend gasoline around September 15, mean cheaper pump prices for consumers, but he expects more layoffs and rig idling in the US oil and gas industry.
He warns falling US oil output could spike winter gas bills. Because much US natural gas is "associated gas" produced alongside oil in West Texas, he says a drop in oil production could tighten gas supply, and he advises workers to seek jobs focused on natural gas rather than oil.
Mr. GlobalGas Prices #news #truth #trump #breakingnews
A commenter credited "drill baby drill" for a coming 20–30% drop in gas prices. He counters that US rig count has fallen 14% and frac spread count 17% in eight months, alongside layoffs of 25% at ConocoPhillips and roughly 20% or more at Chevron, Halliburton, SLB, Exxon, and Shell.
He attributes any coming price drop to OPEC flooding the market, not US drilling. He argues OPEC is doing this at the Trump administration's request, which he says is destroying the US oil and gas industry and costing tens of thousands of jobs.
He predicts OPEC will later cut production once the US industry is weakened. He forecasts gas prices spiking again around the time a new, likely Democratic, president takes office, calling it a recurring "cycle of stupidity."
A quietly signed executive order lays groundwork to unwind most Trump tariffs. The order, covering 109 pages of annexes, tells countries that reaching trade and security agreements with the US will restore their tariffs to 0%, reciprocal rates.
He reads the low-key rollout as an implicit admission of failure. He calls it the "biggest taco event ever," a bigger white flag than the one on the White House lawn, and says the administration is unlikely to keep touting record tariff revenue going forward.
He predicts trading partners may now have more leverage. Whether countries will negotiate cooperatively or hold out given what he calls Trump's missteps is unresolved, he says, but he expects the shift overall to be good for US inflation and prices.
Mr. GlobalTrump 9/11 Museum #news #truth #trump #breakingnews
He argues Trump shouldn't control the 9/11 museum. He points to Trump's reported push to soften the Smithsonian's portrayal of slavery as evidence of how he'd handle historical framing, jokes that a Trump-run 9/11 museum might feature fabricated imagery, and compares the idea to letting Trump run a January 6th museum; he argues the decision should instead rest with New Yorkers.
Mr. Global"The Economy Is Flashing Red: Bad Signs You Can't Ignore"
He points to a weak jobs report and rising real-estate distress as recession warning signs. He cites a report showing only 22,000 jobs added and unemployment at 4.3%, plus commercial real estate delinquencies at a 10-year high, with banks holding trillions of dollars of exposure to office-tower debt he says echoes 2008.
He argues US LNG exports have "globalized" domestic gas prices, driving up utility bills. By exporting so much natural gas that the US must compete with Europe and Asia for its own supply, he says domestic prices are rising to meet world rates, on top of climbing food, rent and insurance costs.
He cites record household and government debt as further evidence of strain. Interest on the national debt is set to exceed the defense budget this year, he says, while consumer credit card debt is near $1.5 trillion and auto loan defaults are rising, and he blames the current administration for undoing a recovery that had produced 48 straight months of job growth.
Mr. Global"Is Russia Running Out of Gas? Ukraine's Drone War Hits Hard"
Ukraine's strike on Russia's largest refinery triggered domestic gasoline shortages. He counts roughly 81 Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities and 31 on refineries in the past month, including hits on the Samara refinery and the Luga LNG terminal, which he says lost half its capacity, taking out about 20% of Russia's overall refining capacity.
He predicts refinery damage will push more Russian crude onto global markets. Because Russia produces far more oil than it can refine domestically, he estimates up to an additional million barrels a day could hit global markets, coinciding with OPEC and Saudi Arabia signaling further production increases at Sunday's OPEC meeting.
He frames the campaign as finally targeting Russia's oil-financed war economy. He predicts Russia will prioritize fuel for its military over civilians, and raises the open question of whether India, which refines large volumes of Russian crude, might now export gasoline back to Russia.
Mr. GlobalYou Are Complicit #news #truth #trump #breakingnews #epsteinlist
Protecting whoever is on "the list" makes the president complicit. He argues the debate over whose name appears on it is a distraction, and that anyone willing to accept that protection out of political loyalty is also complicit in the underlying trafficking.
Mr. GlobalWhy American's Can't Afford Food Or Energy Anymore
Rising food and energy costs are pushing families into survival mode. He cites double- and triple-digit electricity bill increases in some states and says households now spend on average 10% of their income on utilities.
He blames record US natural gas exports for keeping domestic energy prices elevated. By exporting so much gas that the US competes with Europe and Asia for its own supply, he says, domestic prices are pulled up to meet higher global rates even though the resource is abundant at home.
He assigns blame to corporate profiteering and political enablement, not global markets. He says record corporate profits and government inaction, not the existence of global markets themselves, are forcing families to choose between groceries, gas and rent.
Mr. Global"Why Don't So Many Trump Supporters Believe the Survivors?"
He says former "Save Our Children" voices now call survivors liars. He points to a Trump supporter's social media post calling recent survivors' testimony before Congress suspicious because it came late, calling the reversal a sign the original hashtag was "virtue signaling."
He argues the administration's own opacity is fueling suspicion of a cover-up. He cites an ongoing discharge-petition fight over unreleased files and says the material that was released was largely redacted versions of what was already public, which he says the administration brought on itself by not being as transparent as promised.
He says he will believe survivors regardless of political party. He frames the episode as protecting rich and powerful people at survivors' expense and calls it possibly the darkest current example of institutional failure in the US.
Mr. GlobalSave Our Children? #news #truth #trump #breakingnews
He accuses "Save the Children" users of abandoning the cause. He says the same people who used the hashtag in 2019–2020 are now accusing survivors of lying or being paid for political reasons, which he reads as proof the campaign was virtue signaling hijacked by QAnon rather than genuine concern.
Mr. GlobalSlavery Wasn’t That Bad? #news #truth #trump #breakingnews
A commenter argued American slavery "wasn't that bad." He quotes the claim that the historical record is exaggerated, comparing it to Hollywood's portrayal of the Wild West.
He rebuts that with figures on the scale of enslavement. He notes that at its peak, about 4 million of the country's roughly 31 million people — 12.5% — were enslaved, and argues the comparison undersells a practice involving imprisonment, beatings and rape.
A viewer asked why utility bills are forecast to rise a third to double this winter. He responds that this winter doesn't need to match last winter's cold for bills to be just as high, because electricity itself, especially delivery charges, is now structurally more expensive.
Underground natural gas inventory is reported roughly level with last year. He notes LNG exports are higher but so is production, which he calls a wash, leaving the starting position similar to last winter's.
He predicts bills similar to last winter if the forecast mild winter holds, worse if it doesn't. He says any regions with a cold winter will see high bills, and a broadly cold winter would be bad for everyone.
ConocoPhillips plans to cut up to 25% of its workforce. He reports the company confirmed layoffs after earlier rumors, estimating it at roughly 3,000 of the company's roughly 13,000 employees.
OPEC may raise production again just days after calling itself done. He notes OPEC is set to meet Sunday to discuss a further increase, despite having said only days earlier that there was no chance of more hikes.
Wall Street has punished Saudi Aramco's stock hardest among oil majors. He reads this as a sign OPEC is trying to recapture market share from American producers in the current low-price environment.
He argues the Ukraine war and weak dollar prop up oil prices. He frames OPEC's production strategy as deliberately targeting the American oil and gas industry.
Survivors are being forced to name their own abusers. He says this is because people in power are protecting whoever they're protecting, and argues most Americans don't actually care which party is implicated — it's the loudest fringe voices making it partisan. He's unsure whether this reveals how far the country has fallen, or what it always was.
Prayer is not a policy answer to school shootings. Replying to a critic who said he blamed children for the Minneapolis shooting, he denies it and calls it diabolical that after 26 years of children being shot in schools, officials still offer a religious ritual as the fix. He says he prays himself, and that "it's not the only thing" ignores that it has been the only thing done.
Mr. GlobalOrphan Wells In The US #news #truth #gasprices
Alberta's orphan and abandoned well count nearly doubled this year. A clip reports the count rose from 1,700 last year to almost 3,400 this year.
The US has roughly 2 million orphan wells, mostly undocumented. He says only about 120,000 are officially documented due to historically poor recordkeeping, and that the $4.7 billion set aside in the infrastructure bill will likely plug only about 1% of them, with little hope of further funding; he estimates the environmental impact as equivalent to roughly 14 million cars on the road.
Mr. Global"Who Really Pays for Tariffs? Why Companies CAN'T keep Absorbing The Cost"
US companies are currently absorbing most tariff costs, but that's expected to flip. Goldman Sachs data show businesses eating about 64% of tariff costs so far, with 22% passed to consumers and 14% to exporters, while the New York Fed finds roughly 75% of firms are already passing at least some costs onto customers.
He cites Nike, Adidas, Procter & Gamble and Home Depot as early movers. He argues companies can only absorb tariff costs short-term since they still must pay workers, suppliers and investors, and that shrinking margins will force further price hikes.
Goldman Sachs expects the cost split to flip by fall, right before the holiday season. He illustrates this with a $1,000 washing machine: a 10% tariff currently adds about $26 to the consumer's cost under today's roughly 64/22/14 split, but under the projected reversal, with consumers paying about two-thirds, that rises to about $67.
He predicts retailers will keep elevated prices even if tariffs are removed. Once consumers show they'll pay a given price, he argues, companies won't lower it again, framing the real question as how much and how soon prices rise, not whether they will.
Mr. Global"Is America Headed for Civil War? The Truth About Rising Division"
He dismisses civil war predictions as ridiculous despite real warning signs. He cites researcher Barbara Walter's "anocracy" framework and polling showing only 4% of Americans think civil war is likely, with 97% opposed and most saying they'd stay neutral rather than fight.
He frames the actual condition as a "cold civil war." Slow erosion through disinformation, election manipulation and cultural division is doing the damage, he argues, and the real danger is normalization that desensitizes people and weakens democracy.
He argues politicians exploit this division to gain power. He says most Americans are exhausted by current leadership and want pragmatic, reality-based politicians willing to compromise rather than score points.
Mr. Global"The Surge in Political Violence: Is America Headed for Chaos?"
He says the US has entered its most violent political era in decades. He cites over 300 documented incidents of political violence since January 6, 2021, reversing what had been decades of decline.
He argues this wave increasingly targets individuals rather than institutions. School board members, election workers and judges face harassment and death threats, he says, driven by polarization, disinformation and leaders who normalize violent rhetoric.
He warns the chilling effect is already deterring civic participation. Fewer people are willing to volunteer as election workers out of fear, he says, and he argues there's no quick fix short of leaders dropping violent language and communities engaging across political divides.
He poses a riddle about sibling counts to his audience. A boy says he has as many sisters as brothers, while his sister says she has half as many sisters as brothers (each excluding themselves from their own count), and he asks viewers to work out the family's composition.
A clipped commentator accused him of "blasphemy." The commentator said he was accusing children of not knowing how to pray; he responds that his original video never opposed prayer, but argued protecting kids also requires action — like redirecting less than 2% of the defense budget.
He accuses the commentator of lying for views. He says the commentator misrepresented his original video, which argued prayer alone isn't enough and proposed protecting kids using less than 2% of the defense budget; he calls on viewers to vote for politicians — regardless of party — willing to act.
China and India are holding rare, high-stakes trade talks. Together they represent nearly three billion people and about $30 trillion in combined GDP, and despite a history of border and trade disputes, he says shared needs for investment, technology, defense ties and reliable supply chains are pulling them closer.
He argues Trump tariffs have undercut US strategy toward India. He points to threatened 50% tariffs on India, which he ties to India not nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, as pushing New Delhi toward Beijing instead.
He warns a China-India partnership would reshape global supply chains. Both countries import heavily from Russia and are advancing in AI and semiconductors, he says, though persistent border disputes and India's wariness of dependence on China could still limit how far the partnership goes.
