Empires End in Military Hubris – “Trump is an ego-driven fool, unknowingly writing himself into a Shakespearean tragedy. I keep hoping, against hope, he will wake up to the reality but, seemingly, he does not. I recognize I go hard against Vance/Gabbard; I see them as Benedict Arnold figures, acting on political ambition. Rather than resigning, keeping one foot in reality, and the other with Trump. The 1st point in the MoU is not to threaten. Today Trump threatened Iran, warning of total destruction and the negotiators not making it back home if the Straight is closed.” – Erik@neverhadaboss.com

JD Vance Distances Himself From Trump – “VP soft-launches his campaign for president. Vice President JD Vance has been on a whirlwind media tour this past week, selling the Iran War and other administration policies. Except there’s a twist.

The Children of The Middle East Are All Terrorists According To Israe – ““You had one job, restrain your blood thirsty ally, but you couldn’t even do that”! ~Iran Embassy. Strait closed immediately. Crude seems unsure how to respond and sits a febrile immobile stoic monster. Should I stay, should I go, should I hold ‘em, should I fold ‘em? Magat’s are now telling Trump to renege on the MOU which would destroy America’s reputation permanently. Every country’s leader is holding their breath waiting to see Trump’s reaction. Pathetic! Israel’s warped reaction to Trump telling them to abide by the Peace Pause was to carpet bomb across the Christian neighborhoods of Lebanon.” – Helena Glass

Israel’s Suicidal Rupture with the U.S. – “Israel is turning on its last important ally in an act of suicidal hubris. Israel is sabotaging the negotiations with Iran and alienating its last important ally by refusing to halt its attacks on Lebanon and withdraw from its occupation of the south. It is determined to reignite a regional conflagration that could see Iran perpetually close the Strait of Hormuz and plunge the global economy into a global depression. And it continues its genocide in Gaza.” – Chris Hedges

Iran Just Humiliated the U.S. — Here’s the Inflation Bill – “The world can stomach an energy shock, provided it’s short-lived. The war in Iran is proving not to be short-lived. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran was not signed over the weekend. And numerous reports indicate the two nations are once again at an impasse. The longer this drags out, the worse the situation becomes from an inflationary perspective. Oil is an input for the entire economy. Some industries can digest higher oil prices via force majeure clauses in their contracts (trucking), but most cannot. The data is already signaling what’s coming.” – Graham Summers, MBA

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Cognitive Load of Survival: Why Smart People Make Catastrophically Stupid Decisions Under Stress – Bob Rodgers

Functional longevity in preparation for collapse – “The core pillars of strength, balance, and mobility to remain an asset to your household and community. A big mistake people make is treating fitness like an emergency project. They smash themselves with sporadic, intense workouts. For a middle-aged beginner or intermediate person, this usually just leads to injury, system-wide inflammation, and quitting the routine entirely. Fitness is a daily maintenance habit. Consistency beats intensity every single time, and is what nurtures the habit. Small, manageable movements done day in and day out build deep structural integrity over months and years, giving you a physical buffer that survives macro-level chaos.” – Sarah Connor

Tomato Suckers: Remove Them or Leave Them? – “Tomato suckers have a way of going unnoticed until they are already several inches long. By the time most gardeners spot one, it has been growing for a week or two. That is not a crisis. A late catch is not a ruined plant, and the decision about what to do next is simpler than most gardening content makes it sound. The part that actually trips beginners up is not finding suckers. It is knowing which ones to remove and which ones to leave exactly where they are. Suckers are not waste material. A sucker that is 4 to 6 inches long is a cutting, and cuttings can become plants.” – In Homestead  – GOOD ARTICLE!!!
