US News - From War Mongers to Peace | DOGE Hysteria & More

March 20, 2025

From war mongers to peace—it's a tough pill for the media and politicians to swallow. Admitting they may have been wrong after years of fearmongering about Putin's global ambitions makes the idea of peace hard to embrace. Still, any ceasefire talk will likely come with strings attached, as Putin uses negotiations to secure more favorable terms. - Have we fallen into a trap of propaganda and bias simply because we dislike Putin or communism? - Since the collapse of the USSR in 1990, NATO has expanded eastward—driven by both Bush administrations' paranoia about communism, rather than pursuing unity. - Would the U.S. tolerate a Chinese military base in Greenland or Canada? Probably not. A neutral Ukraine and halting NATO expansion could bring peace for all. - It's ironic that critics claim Russia can't defeat Ukraine but simultaneously warn that Putin plans to conquer the world. - For a full breakdown, read this Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 , Part 4 series. - Also see this author profile and afterthought analysis —is the U.S. better off partnering with Russia than leaving it to China?

If nothing else works, just write a true story —at least according to conspiracy theorists. After Biden’s failed use of Nazi and Hitler rhetoric, now the so-called PayPal Mafia is being accused of apartheid sympathies, Nazi lineage, and dictatorship ties. - Since when did saving taxpayer money become criminal? - Learn more about Peter Thiel , branded the “mastermind” of it all. - And where were the reporters when Hunter's laptop surfaced?

Bernie and the Oligarchy —as Democrats push their Town Halls , Tim Walz joins in , perhaps in response to declining media viewership on the left. - Maybe Bernie should join Willie Nelson on tour. Not everyone may be thrilled about Bernie taking the stage, though.

Nostalgia —here's a fun clip on what cowboys ate during the 1800s cattle drives. About 7 minutes in: rattlesnake chili. - Beef wasn’t on the menu because cattle were too valuable to eat. - Hopefully MAHA isn’t watching—though it could be a timely reminder for Lent.

The DOGE hysteria has turned into full-on LAWFARE , driven by third-party advocacy , law firms , and a media frenzy. - Shouldn’t taxpayers be united in wanting to cut waste? It seems there are more voters who take than those who pay—or at least among decision-makers. - Explore these perspectives: doge.gov , opinions , more - Clinton (Gore) proposed it, Obama echoed it—but no one acted until “Big Ball” stepped in. - Burn Teslas or sell them—it’s another summer of protest. - Musk isn't leading the department; he's the brain. Amy Gleason is the actual leader. - Meanwhile, check out the state of Medicaid , USAID , and VOA. - Read the Newsweek overview. - Why was Erica Carr burning classified documents ? - And why is a federal judge ordering DOGE and Musk to disclose their plans ? Is it about transparency—or covering for someone else ?

The Media Mafia —the Gridiron Club , often referred to as the "club of clubs" for elite Washington reporters like those at The Washington Post , remains a self-serving institution. - It’s no surprise that the President received a cold shoulder—what value is there in attending when it's more about insider access than accountability?

It’s the suit now —you really have to wonder who elects some of these people. - With headlines driven more by optics than substance, are we seeing peak performative politics?

Human interference or climate change? The ongoing debate continues as new reports examine the origins of the latest California wildfires. - If negligence is a factor, maybe it's time for class-action lawsuits to bring accountability—and provide relief for FEMA and insurers alike.

The economy: Are we headed for a recession—or just a necessary reset? - What’s really wrong , aside from a bloated stock market that may need a correction? - The market was propped up by artificial confidence during the Biden years— - Perhaps even buoyed by strategic government-funded projects.

Celebrating 250 years of the Army with a Parade , makes President Trump a King ? You can certainly debate if it is a good Idea, but a King, that is then called a Stratocracy , but calling Trump a Stratocrat, probably never heard.  Healthy again, well the US is probably the most obese country on the planet, and the most drug users at the same time, this is prescription only, not speaking of illegal drug, or over the counter. So give the administration some credit for cleaning out the pharmaceutical lobbyists in the vaccine advisory Group and get some independent and medical experts to decide. The new global order, with President Trump leaving the G7 summit early, without a clear statement, and a failed attempt to reinstate the G-8; (Russia is excluded since 2022) the G 6 without the US are trying their own power play with the new German Chancellor as the face and spokesperson , representing Canada and Europe, in an attempt to ridicule their standing and strengthen the BRIC coalition. Perhaps they took their advice from the Bilderberg community. But Merz, to keep his standing in Germany, must distance himself from Trump, as Trump is a person non grata in Germany . As of today, the Bilderberg Group is holding a conference at the "Grand Hôtel" in Stockholm. Under high security precautions, the elite circle has rented the entire hotel until June 15. In the German-speaking press, the discreet Bilderberg meeting has so far been remarked: nothing! The list of participants includes around 140 high-ranking personalities. Mark Rutte, (NATO Secretary General), Lars Klingbeil (Vice-Chancellor Germany), Julia Klöckner (President of the Bundestag), Christopher Donahue (US General, Commander US Army Europe and Africa), Samuel Paparo (US Admiral, Commander US Indo-Pacific Command), Albert Bourla (Chairman Pfizer), Richard Moore (Chief of British Intelligence), Sophie Wilmès (Vice-President of the EU Parliament) and numerous other actors from politics, business, science and the media will confer under strict Secrecy about big politics.

As a continuation of the summit in Helsinki , the following conference that included Presidents Bush and Gorbachev took place in November 1990 in Paris. The conference included 34 nations, each a part of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) . The conference resulted in the signing of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty by members of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The states of the CSCE also made arrangements to hold similar high-level political meetings regularly to build upon efforts to prevent conflict, control arms, and safeguard elections within these countries. [4] Netanyahu, Israel’s Premier, invokes the Old Testament—an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Since Israel and its supporters portray it as the homeland of Jesus, perhaps the phrase love your enemies was forgotten when the British mandate over Palestine expired and the State of Israel was born—with official recognition from both the U.S. and USSR. With the latest escalation in the conflict and a vow to eliminate Hamas , it appears that the escalation includes the elimination of Gaza . Those unable to flee are seemingly treated as legitimate targets in what some interpret as a strategy to clear the territory for Israeli expansion. What about Trump’s plan to buy the territory and rebuild? That would involve resettling many refugees, but is that worse than killing them? Trump is turning his focus to the broader Middle East , aiming to unite the “non-violent” actors and build a peace coalition, thereby restraining Iran’s allies (presumed to have UN protection), who are often seen as the root of instability. So why are evangelicals supporting the violence —alongside the Jewish elite— while the Left and Europe begin to reconsider their stance ? Are all Palestinians terrorists? What is the true meaning of “from the River to the Sea” —a call for democracy or a religious conflict between Islam and Christianity? And then there’s the UN, watching? And the new Pope, pleading for aid —but peace talks? Only Trump? Shortly after his inauguration, Chancellor Merz made his mark on German politics by deploying permanent troops to Lithuania— you be the judge —possibly to support allies under the guise of protection. His actions won’t help global stability, and insiders in Germany do not dismiss the possibility of aggression reminiscent of WWII, now reframed under the narrative that Russia is the enemy. He will certainly support Zelensky unconditionally, using the war as justification to rebuild EU military strength. European Union leaders concluded a busy defense-focused week by endorsing a landmark plan to unlock €800 billion ($866 billion) in European military spending—though internal political divisions remain. Nelson Mandela, upon becoming South Africa’s president, emphasized moving forward together—not retaliating for the past. One reason for his divorce was reportedly that his wife had a more radical, vengeance-driven outlook, which he believed was incompatible with building a democratic society. Yes, apartheid was real, but reversing the oppression with retribution only prolongs emotional wounds. One has to ask what is just . Perhaps Trump has a point— crime is rampant . But of course, there are always two sides to a story .
