Podcasts about Orban

Viktor Orban's Dangerous Alliances with Russia and China. Facing domestic electoral pressures, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban manipulatively courts the Trump administration while deepening dangerous alliances with Russia and China. Ivana Stradner explains that Orban leverages these relationships to project global relevance and maintain power, falsely claiming that Hungary is a victim of unavoidable Russian energy dependence. #131906 INDEPENDENCE FORESTERS

2-19-261970 IRAN The European Left and the Ukraine Conflict. John Batchelor and Anatol Lieven discuss the European left's evolving stance on the Ukraine war. Facing economic strain, radical leftist parties are prioritizing peace and domestic issues over punishing Russia, driven by historical anti-NATO sentiments and deep skepticism toward European military expansion and the United States. #1 Negotiated Settlements and Expanding Security States. Anatol Lieven explains the European left's growing concerns about the Ukraine war fueling authoritarian security and surveillance measures. While a negotiated settlement requiring Ukraine to surrender the Donbas seems impossible in Kyiv, the conflict risks becoming a prolonged war of attrition dictated by modern drone warfare. #2 Truman, the Fed, and the 1951 Accord. Professor John Cochrane explores the 1951 Treasury-Fed Accordduring the Korean War. Fearing another World War II-style crisis, President Harry Truman pressured FedChairman Thomas McCabe to keep interest rates low. Instead, the Fed fought for its independence to combat inflation, establishing modern monetary policy precedents. #3 Modern Lessons from the Fed-Treasury Accord. Drawing parallels between 1951 and today, John Cochraneexamines the tension between presidential administrations and the Federal Reserve during crises. He emphasizes that the Fed must maintain its independence, warning against perpetually funding government spending and urging a strict focus on inflation control over politically motivated easy money. #4 Peru's Political Crisis and Chinese Influence. Professor Evan Ellis details Peru's chronic political instability following the appointment of its eighth president in eight years. Amidst endemic corruption and a fragmented Congress, the nation is deeply intertwined with Chinese investments, particularly in telecommunications, mining, and the strategically vital, Chinese-controlled deep-water port of Chancay. #5 Cuba's Severe Energy and Economic Collapse. Evan Ellis describes the catastrophic collapse of Cuba'seconomy. Cut off from Venezuelan and Mexican oil, the island faces severe rationing, blackouts, halted public services, and completely collapsed tourism. With millions fleeing the dire conditions, the communist regime's survival is heavily strained as basic resources fail. #6 Border Drone Threats, USMCA, and Venezuela. Evan Ellis discusses the closure of El Paso's airspace due to sophisticated cartel drones. He also highlights the critical necessity of renegotiating the USMCA to preserve Mexico's economy and cooperative security posture. Finally, he notes a surprising US military delegation visit to negotiate with Venezuela's Maduro regime. #7 Guyana's Massive Oil Boom. Evan Ellis highlights the profound economic transformation of Guyana following the discovery of billions of barrels of light, sweet crude oil. Driven by massive investments from ExxonMobil and Chevron, the South American nation serves as a prime example of effective management and foreign partnerships generating transformative national wealth. #8 Israel's Initial Response to the October 7 Atrocities. Following the horrific October 7 attacks by Hamas, Israelileaders reacted with understandable outrage and mobilized forcefully to neutralize the threat. While Hamas is currently severely degraded militarily and controls less territory, the group remains armed and continues to pose an ongoing security challenge fueled by Iranian backing. #9Defining Israel's Deep Political and Demographic Divides. Peter Berkowitz clarifies crucial definitions in Israelipolitics, explaining why a one-state solution would destroy Israel's democratic and Jewish character. He outlines how traditional left-right divisions have morphed into pro- or anti-Netanyahu factions, heavily influenced by religious demographics and the ultra-Orthodox community's contentious role in military service. #10Trump's Middle East Legacy and Israel's Judicial Crisis. Examining the Trump administration's lasting diplomatic legacy, Peter Berkowitz praises the embassy move to Jerusalem, the withdrawal from the flawed Iran deal, and the strategic Abraham Accords. He also analyzes Israel's internal turmoil over its overly activist Supreme Court, which sparked mass protests prior to the ongoing war. #11Confronting the Ignorance Fueling Anti-Israel Protests. Dismantling the arguments of global anti-Israel protesters, Peter Berkowitz highlights their culpable ignorance regarding Israel's defensive sovereignty. He refutes false accusations of colonialism, exposing how Hamas deliberately uses Palestinian civilians as human shields and actively seeks to destroy both the Jewish state and broader Western democratic civilization. #12Viktor Orban's Dangerous Alliances with Russia and China. Facing domestic electoral pressures, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban manipulatively courts the Trump administration while deepening dangerous alliances with Russia and China. Ivana Stradner explains that Orban leverages these relationships to project global relevance and maintain power, falsely claiming that Hungary is a victim of unavoidable Russian energy dependence. #13Bangladesh's Political Turmoil and Rising Islamist Influence. Following the violent ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh faces severe political and economic instability under Tariq Rahman. Sadanand Dhume warns of a concerning Islamic revival, highlighting the growing parliamentary power of the radical Jamaat-e-Islami movement and the critical need to pragmatically repair fractured diplomatic relations with India. #14Justice Scalia and the Unitary Executive Theory. Reflecting on Justice Antonin Scalia's legacy, Professor John Yoodetails the concept of the unitary executive. Scalia powerfully argued that the Constitution vests all executive power directly in the president, warning that independent agencies fragment federal authority, diminish democratic accountability, and disrupt the essential separation of powers. #15The Supreme Court's Threat to Independent Agencies. Analyzing upcoming Supreme Court cases, John Yoopredicts the potential overturning of the historic Humphrey's Executor precedent. Such a ruling would fundamentally dismantle the protections shielding independent agencies like the Federal Trade Commission from direct presidential control, sparking a massive structural revolution within the federal government's executive branch. #16

At the Munich Security Conference, Marco Rubio offered Europe a peace in our time. The Americans sprayed on the charm. But looking between the fine words, it seems like Marco was on his way out the door. Do Europe's friends need to tell her this is a break up speech? Meanwhile, rumours of the destruction of Iran remain premature. We've run the numbers, and it turns out it would take ten per cent of all the Tomahawks in the world to flatten three mullahs and an oil derrick. But with American strike fleets still camped in the Persian Gulf, how does this end? Finally, Hungary was all anyone was talking about backstage at Munich. The Brussels establishment have decided that defeating Orban in his upcoming fourth successive election will bring a massive W in a world drowning in Ls. The polls haven't just tightened - they've actually split. With two sides both predicting victory for their candidate, across a spread of 15 points, what happens when one side wakes up in April to find themselves robbed?

Doomberg stops by the Energy News Beat and Energy Impacts podcast with Stu Turley and David Blackmon. We are going to cover some of Doomberg's current articles, including the Energy Crisis in California, and the Global Oil and Gas market update. We will be live on X, YouTube, and LinkedInThe main topics and themes discussed in this podcast are:1. The energy crisis in California: - The transcript discusses the emerging energy crisis in California, particularly in Northern California. It highlights how the state's regulatory policies have led to the closure of major refineries, creating a fuel supply shortage. - The discussion covers the potential consequences of this crisis, including the possibility of $10 per gallon gasoline and the impact on the broader West Coast region. - The transcript also touches on the national security implications of California's energy dependence and the need for a more resilient energy infrastructure.2. Politics and policy: - The transcript delves into the political dynamics surrounding energy policy, including the potential impact of the SAVE Act on voter ID requirements and the role of the Republican and Democratic parties in Washington. - It also discusses the implications of the removal of the EPA's endangerment finding for CO2 and the potential for policy whiplash depending on the outcome of future elections. - The discussion touches on the potential presidential ambitions of California Governor Gavin Newsom and the challenges he may face in the Democratic primary.3. Energy markets and geopolitics: - The transcript explores the EU's "grid socialism" plan and its potential impact on energy prices and grid stability across Europe. - It also discusses the potential implications of the EU's proposed carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) on US LNG exports and the geopolitical dynamics surrounding energy trade. - The discussion includes an analysis of the Bloomberg article on a purported Russian memo seeking to rejoin the US dollar system, which the speaker dismisses as likely false.4. Doomberg and media analysis: - The transcript provides insights into the Doomberg brand, its approach to analysis and publishing, and its plans for expansion, including a forthcoming book project. - It also touches on the challenges of being a media guest and the importance of maintaining brand consistency, particularly in relation to thumbnail images and headlines.Overall, we cover a wide range of energy-related topics, with a focus on the interplay between policy, geopolitics, and market dynamics, as well as the role of media analysis and commentary in shaping the energy discourse.## 1. **California's Energy Crisis**The transcript extensively covers an emerging energy crisis in Northern California, driven by regulatory policies that have led to refinery closures and fuel supply shortages. Key concerns include potential price spikes (up to $10 per gallon gasoline), regional impacts across the West Coast, and national security implications related to energy dependence and infrastructure resilience.## 2. **Energy Policy & Politics**The discussion examines the political landscape surrounding energy policy, including:- The SAVE Act and voter ID requirements- The EPA's endangerment finding for CO2 and its removal- Policy volatility depending on election outcomes- Governor Newsom's potential presidential ambitions and Democratic primary challenges## 3. **Energy Markets & Geopolitics**This section explores international energy dynamics:- The EU's "grid socialism" plan and its effects on energy prices and grid stability- The EU's carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) and its impact on US LNG exports- Geopolitical dimensions of energy trade- Analysis of claims about Russia and the US dollar system## 4. **Doomberg Brand & Media Analysis**The transcript discusses the Doomberg media brand, including:- Its analytical approach and publishing strategy- Expansion plans and upcoming book projects- Challenges of media appearances and maintaining brand consistency- The importance of visual presentation (thumbnails, headlines) in mediaChapters: 01:32 California Energy Crisis10:21 Military Bases in California12:57 filibuster and problems with elections16:12 Endangerment of CO2 findings and its impact21:12 EU grid interconnect problems and energy crisis28:25 is the war with Ukraine about to end?31:46 publications in the EU36:00 Orban and his re-election47:46 Upcoming topics around copperCheck out Doomberg on his Substack: https://newsletter.doomberg.com/Check out for Stu Turley on The Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/For David Blackmon https://blackmon.substack.com/

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, River City Hash Mondays is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Trump and Judge Aileen Cannon were caught and called out in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals for a scheme to delete incriminating files.Then, on the rest of the menu, the NAACP and other organizations are asking a judge to protect personal voter information that was seized by the FBI from an elections warehouse just outside Atlanta; LA Olympics leader Casey Wasserman will sell his talent agency in the wake of the Epstein emails discovery; and, a lawsuit by local golfers seeks to stop well-known golf cheat Trump's overhaul of a 100-year-old public golf course in Washington, DC.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where Orbán says the EU and not Russia is Hungary's real threat ahead of its April vote, so of course Rubio stood up Zalenskyy and met with Orban, instead; and, Europeans pushed back at the US over the racist claim they face ‘civilizational erasure.'All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live Player​Keep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!"I was never a spy.

Recesiunea tehnică din România este o contracție de moment, declară la RFI fostul premier Ludovic Orban. Președintele partidului Forța Dreptei spune de asemenea că cei mai mulți primari de comune care l-au criticat pe premierul Ilie Bolojan sunt de la PSD. Ludovic Orban, despre recesiunea tehnică din România: ”Sincer, era previzibil (...). Practic, s-a contractat PIB-ul în mare parte din cauză că nu a mai funcționat minciuna cu creșterea economică bazată pe stimularea consumului, prin măsuri guvernamentale care să crească venituri către categoriile care sunt finanțate de la buget (...). Cred că e o contracție de moment, nu cred că e un fenomen care să continue”. Despre reforma administrației: ”E nevoie de o reformă administrativă care să ducă la concentrarea administrației, mai puține unități administrativ-teritoriale. Personal, susțin și reducerea numărului de județe (...). Eu pot să vă dau o cifră, pe baza evaluărilor mele, se poate ajunge la 17-18 județe, fără probleme”. Despre primarii de comune care îl critică pe premierul Ilie Bolojan: ”Aproape toți primarii care au vorbit împotriva lui Bolojan au fost primari PSD, în frunte cu primărița de Cumpăna, care e din 2020 în funcție (...). Primărița din Cumpăna are 85 de angajați, la o primărie de comună. Cum să nu aibă de unde să facă reduceri de personal? (...) O primărie de comună medie poate să funcționeze liniștit cu 15-16 angajați care să-și facă treaba”.

Die „Montagsdebatte“ widmet sich der Frage, ob die zunehmende Radikalisierung, die wir derzeit erleben, auch auf religiösen und weltlichen Erlösungshoffnungen beruht. Im Anschluss an einen einführenden Impulsvortrag der niederländischen Zeithistorikerin Beatrice de Graaf von der Universität Utrecht folgt ein Gespräch mit Frank Bösch, Direktor des Leibniz-Instituts für Zeithistorische Forschung Potsdam. Nicht nur Islamisten, auch Rechtsextremisten verwenden in zunehmendem Maße religiöse Muster, Symbole und Praktiken. Sie nutzen diese zur Anwerbung, Legitimierung und Verherrlichung von politischer Gewalt in Europa, den USA und Russland. Radikale Erlösungshoffnungen treten auch zunehmend in den Führungen politischer Parteien auf: Trump wird von Evangelikalen als biblischer ‚König Kyros‘ gesehen, Orban stellt sich als ‚Verteidiger des Christentums‘ dar, Putin wirft sich gar als ‚Katechon‘ auf und Vox-Anführer Abascal sieht sich als neuer Kreuzfahrer gegen den Islam. Was sind die Ursachen für diese Rückkehr radikaler Erlösungshoffnungen und wie könne wir darauf reagieren?

In April 2026, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban faces fresh parliamentary elections. He has been in power since 2010, and his party's grip on the Hungarian media and civil society means many felt his place in office was permanently secure. However, discontent over allegations of corruption and his brand of "illiberal democracy" has been growing, led by a new challenger, Peter Magyar. His growing party, Tisza, has shown signs of being able to unite wide swathes of Hungary's disjointed opposition, and Orban is suddenly well behind in the polls. Magyar himself is a former member member of Orban's party, Fidesz. Nick Thorpe travels across Hungary meeting activists and voters mobilising for the contest.

"Nessuno può concludere accordi sull'isola tranne noi e la Danimarca", replica il governo di Nuuk (capitale della Groenlandia). Trump sfida con lo stesso tono anche l'Onu, firmando la fondazione del Board of Peace su Gaza: una cerimonia a Davos con i 20 rappresentanti dei paesi che hanno aderito tra i quali Orban e Milei.

Christoph Chorherr eröffnet eine Serie zur „Zukunft der Demokratie“ und spricht mit Judith Kohlenberger, Kurt Guwak und Laurenz Ennser-Jedenastik über die Thesen ihres gemeinsamen Buchs „Demokratie sucht Zukunft – Wie Parteien neu gedacht werden müssen“. Die Gäste schildern, warum Parteien im Vergleich zu Unternehmen strukturell innovationsarm, innerlich verknöchert und stark von Kontrollbedürfnis, Risikoaversion und kurzfristiger Wahllogik geprägt sind. Laurenz Ennser-Jedenastik erklärt mit Verweis auf das „eherne Gesetz der Oligarchie“, wie sich in Parteien funktionale Eliten und mächtige Vetospieler – von Landeshauptleuten bis Bürgermeistern – herausbilden, die Reformen und Zentralisierungsvorschläge blockieren. Judith Kohlenberger beschreibt eine polarisierte Öffentlichkeit, Veränderungserschöpfung und Vertrauensverlust in staatliche Handlungsfähigkeit, während zugleich viele Menschen weiterhin politisch interessiert, aber von Parteipolitik abgestoßen sind. Am Beispiel Migration zeigt sie, wie symbolpolitische Maßnahmen (Asyl-Auslagerung, Scharia-Verbot) echte Zukunftsthemen wie demografischen Wandel und qualifizierte Zuwanderung verdrängen und wissenschaftliche Expertise meist nur für Wahlkampf-Framings abgefragt wird. Im Gespräch über Brexit, Orban, Erdogan, Trump, China und neue rechte Bewegungen diskutieren die vier, warum Demokratien ineffizient wirken, autoritäre Systeme scheinbar „liefern“ – und dennoch nur die liberale Demokratie Menschenrechte, individuelle Freiheit und Machtbegrenzung garantieren kann. Die Runde arbeitet heraus, wie Hyper-Individualisierung, soziale Medien, Boulevardlogik und alternative Medien-Ökosysteme Parteien zusätzlich unter Druck setzen, Politiker:innen zu permanent defensiver Kommunikation zwingen und geteilte Öffentlichkeit erodieren lassen. Am Ende skizzieren die Autor:innen Reformideen: Parteien sollen sich öffnen, echte inhaltliche Beteiligungsräume jenseits von Mitgliedschaft schaffen, Zukunftsbilder und kollektive Ziele stärker in den Mittelpunkt stellen und gemeinsam mit einer aktiven Zivilgesellschaft neue, konfliktfähige und dennoch entscheidungsstarke Formen demokratischer Politik entwickeln.Links zur Folge:Buch "Demokratie sucht Zukunft" (Goldegg-Verlag)Buch "Ungleich vereint" (Suhrkamp-Verlag)Ganz offen gesagt SPEZIAL Über das politische Handwerk - mit Laurenz Ennser-Jedenastik und Christoph Chorherr vom 21.03.2025Initiative "mehrGRIPS""Ehernes Prinzip der Oligarchie" (Wikipedia) Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Du "Ganz offen gesagt" auf einem der folgenden Wege unterstützt:Werde Unterstützer:in auf SteadyKaufe ein Premium-Abo auf AppleKaufe Artikel in unserem FanshopSchalte Werbung in unserem PodcastFeedback bitte an redaktion@ganzoffengesagt.atTranskripte und Fotos zu den Folgen findest Du auf podcastradio.at

The formal indictment states that Lin and his accomplices allegedly facilitated the transfer of tens of millions of dollars obtained from the sale of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine in the United States back to Mexico, through an opaque financial chain involving cash purchases of electronic goods and shipments to Asian countries. According to the case filed in federal court in Cincinnati, between 2022 and 2024, Mexican drug-trafficking groups hired this organization to handle the cash generated from drug sales within U.S. territory. The procedure described includes handing over large amounts of physical cash to third parties, who used the funds to buy electronic products. Once the receipt of these goods was confirmed, payment was sent to Mexico through mirror transactions, after deducting a commission. Partial records indicate that at least $27.4 million in cash was moved through this network. The indictment, which includes charges of conspiracy to launder money and concealment of funds, indicates that the alleged operator could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted by a federal court.

The whole starter kit. The guy, Marton Benedek, was sitting inside EU institutions while sketching out a roadmap for protests, messaging, fundraising, even something that reads a lot like a shadow government. He talks openly about building a permanent coordination hub to challenge Orban's rule. This was an EU migration and security official, with deep access and zero plausible deniability, not just some street activist. The early effort flopped. The party he helped build face-planted electorally. But the playbook didn't disappear. It just waited. Fast forward and suddenly a brand-new figure, Peter Magyar, drops out of nowhere, gets wall-to-wall Western media love, runs a campaign with serious money and polish, keeps his ideology vague, stays aggressively pro-EU, and rockets to the top of the polls. No clear funding trail. No real policy spine. But momentum. The uncomfortable part for Brussels isn't whether Orban is good or bad. It's that this confirms what his supporters have said for years: The EU doesn't just pressure governments. It actively works around them when they won't comply. Rule of law language on the surface. Regime-management instincts underneath. If this were Russia doing it, headlines would be screaming “foreign interference.” When it's Brussels, it's called cooperation. https://twitter.com/nypost/status/2011184281989595612?s=20 ‘Going to Be a Big Problem for Him’: Trump Smacks Down Greenland PM After He Says He ‘Chooses Denmark' President Trump isn’t playing around when it comes to the United States taking control of Greenland, and he just sent a warning shot to the island’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, that Nielsen’s continued resistance is “going to be a big problem for him.” Greenland’s PM and other regional authorities downplay the possibility of a hostile takeover of the island by Russia or China, Denmark’s Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS) recently released a pointed assessment of Russian and Chinese military ambitions for Greenland and the Arctic. But the “Intelligence Outlook 2025” report on the security of the Kingdom of Denmark, released just last month, had warned at great length that “China is preparing for a military presence in the Arctic” and that “China's long-term Arctic interests include Greenland.” The report highlighted Chinese air-based, seaborne, and submersible activities in the Arctic.

Musk Stands Up Against the Ayatollahs, as Iranian Regime Cracks Down on Starlink Terminals, Deploys Military-Grade Jammers Against Sole Internet Option for Protesters   At the beginning of the massive popular demonstrations in Iran, Elon Musk took the bold initiative of providing free Starlink services for the protestors. A few days in, Iran shut down the Internet in the entire country. For the first time since 2019, a nationwide blackout was imposed, disrupting phone networks and landline telephones. Starlink became the sole web outlet for protesters to get informed, communicate, and share the images of the momentous developments with the world. It didn't take long for the brutal Iranian regime to crack down on Starlink terminals, arrest ‘terrorist' users, and deploy military-grade jammers to impede the functioning of the service. Now, reports say SpaceX engineers are hard at work to bypass the jamming and give protesters a voice, again.

That is demographic manipulation. When law enforcement records misclassify race and suppress immigration status, the downstream effect is predictable. Crime statistics are distorted. Public understanding is corrupted. Accountability disappears. Police departments know exactly why this is done. Federal crime data is aggregated by race. When offenders who are foreign nationals are reclassified into domestic racial categories, the real source patterns are buried. The public is then fed a sanitized dataset that supports preselected talking points. This is not about one case. It is about how the books are cooked so trends can never be honestly discussed. News outlets compound the deception. They repeat the arrest sheet verbatim, never asking why immigration status is missing, never questioning implausible physical descriptors, never pressing the department for clarification. The omission is the story, and they deliberately ignore it. That is not journalism. That is information control. If the individual were a citizen, the records would say so. If the individual were legally present, that status would be highlighted immediately. Silence only appears when the truth is politically inconvenient. That silence protects institutions, not victims. Two teenagers are dead, and the system's first instinct was not transparency, but insulation. This is exactly why public trust is collapsing. People are not stupid. They can see when reality does not match the paperwork. When law enforcement manipulates categories and media outlets run interference, the public correctly concludes that the truth is being managed rather than reported. The question is simple. If the data were honest, why hide it. If the classification were accurate, why does it defy common sense. If transparency mattered, why was immigration status erased. This is not incompetence. It is intent. https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/2011214982881386564?s=20  Solomon & Emmer on his podcast today.

Here is what Tom said, “Hey, everyone. Huge news. Judicial Watch lawsuits led to the cleanup of 4 million dirty names from the voting rolls in just the last two years or so. But there's more heavy lifting to be done for cleaner elections. That's why Judicial Watch just sued the state of Oregon to force it to finally clean up its voting rolls, which are a mess. Federal law requires states to take reasonable steps to clean up their voting rolls, and Oregon hasn't been doing that. In fact, our new lawsuit, Just Filed For and With the Constitution Party of Oregon and Oregon Voters, details how 29 of Oregon's 36 counties removed few or no registrations as required by federal election law. Oregon and 35 of its counties had overall registration rates exceeding 100%. Frankly, Oregon has the highest known inactive registration rate of any state in the nation. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections.   Tom Fitton announced that the Oregon Secretary of State announced removal of 800,000 dirty names from the state's voter rolls. https://twitter.com/TomFitton/status/2010748003834016216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2010748003834016216%7Ctwgr%5Ed441c69e8d73f0694063c2d5ef9f04f6759470f5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fanother-victory-tom-fitton-judicial-watch-oregon-agrees%2F   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2011464963257196757?s=20 to 2 weeks SCOTUS has upheld Rep.

The Dems' entire platform revolves around election fraud and retaining/expanding their power. Hence why they don't want ICE/US MIL deporting illegals in their sanctuary cities, why they don't want voter ID, and why they want the border open. That's what all the fuss is about. It's because Trump is getting close to ending the Democrat Party as we know it. Without illegals voting in their districts, they face extinction. Not only will they no longer be able to win elections, but this election fraud scheme was nothing short of treasonous. They sold us out to foreigners while pocketing our money. They covertly enslaved us and enriched themselves off our labor, while we struggle to stay afloat. This is a serious situation.

Day 1,411. Today, as the world reacts to America's operation in Venezuela over the weekend, we explore Moscow's notably muted response - a silence that hints at the tension inside the Kremlin between defending an ally and condemning US action, risking Donald Trump's wrath, or quietly applauding an example of international intervention.

Asli Aydintasbas joins The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about the similarities between Erdogan in Turkey, Orban in Hungary, and Trump, in the backsliding of democracy but why she sees hope for United States.

  China Writers' Group is your one-stop knowledge shop to understand reality behind the West's Big Lie Propaganda Machine headlines! Thanks to China Writer T.P.

Politics feels louder than ever and somehow emptier too. We open the hood on liberalism—what it claims to be, how it actually behaves, and why Trump's rise didn't just bend norms but exposed tensions baked into the system. With Dillion from Untrodden, we trace the fault lines between liberal commitments to stability and civil discourse and the gravitational pull toward executive power, media spectacle, and anti‑politics.Step by step, we chart the historical map: from the 18th Brumaire and Bonapartism to today's illiberal temptations, and why figures like Orban or Berlusconi echo past crises more than they break from them. We ask whether liberalism's best asset—pragmatic governance—can survive without a clearer core, and whether the left's sharpest critiques can help rebuild a coherent center of gravity rather than just tear it down. We also examine identity politics' moral heat with little policy light, the post‑pandemic sorting of temperaments over ideologies, and the unsettling ease with which tech billionaires switch lanes as incentives shift.Rather than rehearse stale talking points, we get practical about coalitions. What can Marxists and liberals realistically build together? Where do alliance models like the united front make sense, and where do they fail? We argue for a new baseline: mutual recognition, radical honesty, and a shared willingness to protect civil society and institutional checks as nonnegotiables. From unions to city budgets, the places where people shoulder common obligations are where trust can be rebuilt and rhetoric can give way to results.If you're tired of vibes posing as politics and want a serious, good‑faith reckoning with liberalism's crisis and the left's role in solving it, this conversation is for you. Listen, share with a friend who disagrees with you, and tell us: what principle would you refuse to compromise in any coalition?

Today's Headlines: Trump had a busy week: he gave himself an A++++++ on the economy, and in a Politico interview, openly admitted he has “no vision for Europe” while praising autocrats like Orban in Hungary and Erdogan in Turkey. European security officials are sounding alarms too, warning that Russia's hybrid warfare campaign—political sabotage, infrastructure attacks, energy manipulation, and propaganda—could escalate into a full-blown war by 2029. Meanwhile, Netanyahu says he speaks to Putin “regularly” to protect Israel's borders, particularly against Syria, so the lines are already being drawn. Over in tech, Elon Musk confessed on Katie Miller's podcast that DOGE was only “somewhat successful” and that if he could do it again, he wouldn't. And the Pentagon, under Pete Hegseth, is rolling out Google's Gemini AI for unclassified work like onboarding and administrative tasks—but the NYT is suing because Hegseth's new press rules forced reporters to sign gag orders or lose access. In Florida, Miami elected its first Democratic mayor in 28 years, Eileen Higgins, a former Peace Corps director and mechanical engineer, ending decades of GOP control and running on a government efficiency platform. Let's travel back to Taylor Swift's October album release real quick, remember the nazi, trad wife chaos around it? Turns out, less than 4% of accounts drove 28% of the conversation, and over 73% of the inflammatory posts came from inauthentic or conspiracy-focused accounts. Basically, most of the outrage wasn't real—it was engineered.

Die USA treiben weiterhin diplomatische Bemühungen voran, Selenskyj kündigt ein Spitzentreffen an, und Ungarns Ministerpräsident Orban reist nach Moskau, um über Energie und Frieden zu sprechen.

Trump targets insurance giants and meatpackers for price hikes, while Treasury's Bessent urges patience on economic recovery. Orban touts Hungary as Europe's Christian outlier; DOJ probes Miller family doxxing post-Kirk assassination; some nutty stats on injunctions against Trump, and an idea for Republicans should Democrats shut the government down again.   The A.M.

What do Stalin, Trump, and Viktor Orbán have in common? They're all fragile men terrified of truth, artists, and of anyone with a moral compass. In this week's Gaslit Nation, we talk with 91-year-old Peter Hidas, who as a young student helped ignite the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, a movement born of courage and faith in a better world. Peter's story is a testament to what ordinary people can do when they refuse to bow to tyranny. The revolts that shook the Iron Curtain in 1956 laid the groundwork for the movements that would one day bring down the Soviet empire, to the unforgettable soundtrack of Swan Lake played on repeat on Soviet TV by a collapsing regime. Today, a new generation of brave Russians has reclaimed that symbol: the “Swan Lake Collective” is being played by artists on the streets of Russia, creating a rallying cry “Let the swans dance!” for peace, freedom, and the end of Putin's Fox News–style dictatorship. Gaslit Nation is here to remind you that Putin's days are numbered.  This week's show also celebrates the heroes of the No Kings protests, the Gen Z meme pirates toppling corruption crime sprees pretending to be governments, how Trump and Putin might try to save Orban's doomed April 2026 election, and more.  So keep marching. Keep creating.That's how we win.  The song featured in this week's episode is “Election Day” by The Spiders.
