From Business Standard:
Trump heads to Davos to pitch how he’ll make housing more affordable
President Donald Trump plans to use a key address Wednesday to try to convince Americans he can make housing more affordable, but he’s picked a strange backdrop for the speech: a Swiss mountain town where ski chalets for vacations cost a cool $4.4 million.
On the anniversary of his inauguration, Trump is flying to the World Economic Forum in Davos an annual gathering of the global elite where he may see many of the billionaires he has surrounded himself with during his first year back in the White House.
Trump had campaigned on lowering the cost of living, painting himself as a populist while serving fries at a McDonald’s drive-thru. But in office, his public schedules suggest he’s traded the Golden Arches for a gilded age, devoting more time to cavorting with the wealthy than talking directly to his working-class base.
At the end of the day, it’s the investors and billionaires at Davos who have his attention, not the families struggling to afford their bills, said Alex Jacquez, chief of policy and advocacy at Groundwork Collaborative, a liberal think tank.
Trump’s attention in his first year back has been less on pocketbook issues and more fixed on foreign policy with conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine and Venezuela. He is now bent on acquiring Greenland to the chagrin of European allies a headline likely to dominate his time in Davos, overshadowing his housing ideas.
Trump noted the Europeans’ resistance, telling reporters Monday night, “Let’s put it this way: It’s going to be a very interesting Davos.
The White House has tried to shift Trump’s focus to affordability issues, a response to warning signs in the polls in a year where control of Congress is at stake in midterm elections.
About six in 10 U.S. adults now say that Trump has hurt the cost of living, according to the latest survey by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. It’s an issue even among Republicans, who have said Trump’s work on the economy hasn’t lived up to their expectations. Only 16 per cent say Trump has helped a lot on making things more affordable, down from 49 per cent in April 2024, when an AP-NORC poll asked Americans the same question about his first term.

This Greenland drama is getting comical. The Bundeswehr sent 15 soldiers last Friday. Apparently they flew home on Sunday. I read that the U.K. sent one Officer to Greenland. Not sure of his status. This is like a comic opera.

“This Greenland drama is getting comical…”
Our NATO ‘allies’ are comical, and that’s a big part of what DJT wants to emphasize.
Our airbase up there used to have lots of Nukes too. 4683d Air Defense Wing up until 1968. A B-52 crashed there with 4 live nukes onboard.
It is Hoth for sure windspeeds of 200 MPH have been recorded there. That will freeze your Tauntaun ride for sure.
I assume that all of you guys that have your panties in a bunch over Greenland are ready to give everything between Texas and California back to Mexico, right? You realize that they never did anything to us and that we essentially goaded them into a war — and then took what is now the US southwest, right? In fact, the parallels between the two interesting; Mexico was neither able to defend nor even populate their northern provinces between Tejas and Alta California — and so we took them (too bad we didn’t grab Baja California as well). Denmark is clearly unable to defend Greenland — and it obviously can’t be heavily populated, and there is a precedent, so…
Lib: I did not like the way Trump removed Maduro, but certainly shed no tears for his departure. In the end Venezuela will be a better place. Greenland is a whole other level.I have not heard Hakeem’ s speech but will take a look. You know my feelings on the so called Democrat alternatives upcoming, just pathetic.
Small : Comparing Mexico and the US to Greenland is a huge stretch. That whole whole area was all called New Spain when the Mexicans supposedly forced the Spanish out, after fits and starts. As you note that whole area was sparsely populated. At the time of the California Gold Rush there were around 6,000 people there who were of Mexican or Spanish descent. I am guessing those people would have considered themselves Spanish. The total population of California at that time was around 150k people most of them indigenous. What became the southwestern US, was only part of Mexico by virtue of default. The US could have occupied all of Mexico, and in fact was in Mexico City, but the American government did not want all of Mexico because they were not white and they were Catholic. The only people that got screwed in the Mexican American war, were the indigenous tribes that lived there. Mexico did not fully conquer the Yucatan Peninsula (Cancun) until the 1930’s, and then went on a heavy Mexification/ Spanishfication of the natives.
Away from all of that, you simply cant run around taking over countries today The Greenlanders have made their wishes clear they wish to keep the current arrangement with Denmark. They are part of NATO, but being a self governing part of Denmark, a NATO member. We have bases there already, if they need to be upgraded then upgrade them. Trump needs to stop this madness now.
NY Times Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion
The Editorial Board
President Trump has never been a man to ask what he can do for his country. In his second term, as in his first, he is instead testing the limits of what his country can do for him.
He has poured his energy and creativity into the exploitation of the presidency — into finding out just how much money people, corporations and other nations are willing to put into his pockets in hopes of bending the power of the government to the service of their interests.
A review by the editorial board relying on analyses from news organizations shows that Mr. Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view. And they continue to grow.
Mr. Trump’s hunger for wealth is brazen. Throughout the nation’s history, presidents of both parties have taken care to avoid even the appearance of profiting from public service. This president gleefully squeezes American corporations, flaunts gifts from foreign governments and celebrates the rapid growth of his own fortune.
When President Harry Truman left office in 1953, he did not even own a car. He and his wife returned to Missouri by train and lived for a time on his Army pension. He refused to take any job that he regarded as commercializing his public service, explaining, “I knew that they were not interested in hiring Harry Truman, the person, but what they wanted to hire was the former president of the United States.” Mr. Trump has said that when he leaves office, he plans to take with him a $400 million Boeing 747 that was a gift from Qatar, and to display it at his presidential library.
This tally focuses on Mr. Trump’s documented gains. The $1.4 billion figure is a minimum, not a full accounting. It is probable that Mr. Trump has collected several hundred million dollars in additional profits from his cryptocurrency ventures over the past year. The Trumps have acknowledged as much. When The Financial Times asked Eric Trump, one of the president’s sons, about its estimated value of the family’s crypto gains, he said they were probably even larger than the news organization thought.
Our accounting also does not include other ways in which the president has encouraged influence seekers to make donations that benefit him politically, including to his planned White House renovation. During the government shutdown, Mr. Trump even used a private gift to finance his policy priorities. Other presidents did not behave this way.
Mr. Trump was already the wealthiest person to serve as president of the United States. He began his second term with a large portfolio of real estate holdings and an ownership stake in a social media company. Those businesses have benefited from his presidency. His real estate company, for example, is making millions from deals licensing Mr. Trump’s name for use on new projects in foreign countries. Even more striking, however, are the enormous profits the Trump family has reaped by creating and selling cryptocurrencies, allowing Mr. Trump to collect money from those seeking his favor.
It is impossible to know how often Mr. Trump makes official decisions, in part or entirely, because he wants to be richer. And that is precisely the problem. A culture of corruption is pernicious because it is not just a deviation from government in the public interest; it is also the destruction of the state’s democratic legitimacy. It undermines the necessary faith that the representatives of the people are acting in the interest of the people.
Aristotle, writing more than 2,000 years ago, saw clearly and warned that a government whose leaders worked to enrich themselves might still call itself a republic, and might still go through the motions, but when the aim of government shifts from public good to private gain, its constitution becomes an empty shell. The government is no longer for the people.
The demands of avarice gradually corrupt the work of government as officials facilitate the accumulation of personal wealth. Worse, such a government corrupts the people who live under its rule. They learn by experience that they live in a society where the laws are written by the highest bidder. They become less likely to obey those laws, and to participate in the work of democracy — speaking, voting, paying taxes. The United States risks falling into this cynical spiral as Mr. Trump hollows out the institutions of government for personal gain.
Methodology These numbers are based on publicly available information and analyses by news organizations. Licensing and crypto estimates are drawn from a Reuters analysis published in October; the estimate for both categories is based on data from the first half of 2025. $Melania meme coin estimates are drawn from The Financial Times. It is unclear how much of this money went to the Trumps and how much went to their business partners. “Melania” documentary estimates are drawn from The Wall Street Journal. Legal settlements and Qatari jet estimates are drawn from The New York Times. Some of the money from these settlements will go to Mr. Trump’s presidential library and other plaintiffs in the cases.
The Trumps and their business partners have disputed some of these estimates, but we find the estimates to be more credible than the Trumps’ claims.

For those of you pedaling with and electric bike looks like you will need insurance and registration going forward. Also no one under 15 can operate them. I wonder how much my kids barbie dream car would have cost me to insure from. Back in the day?
Trump is using tariffs like they are water balloons. MAGA so proud. Rest of world with 1/2 brain sees the showman that he is.
Midterms can’t come soon enough. When the Dems win, I plan to cut my dick off to celebrate. Maybe add a third breast. Cause that’s all us liberals think about.
Walking. My POS electric bike, with pedals (cause it needs them) has a 750 watt battery. I’m good. Truth be told, anything above it begins entering the realm of motorcycle. Only makes sense you should have to insure it. Rest assured, no one will and this will become just another Murphy toothless law.
And I wear a helmet with a mirror, and have the required lights. For some things, common sense should not require laws for people to do the right thing. Then again, half the country is being fooled by MAGA lies daily.

China has deployed life-sized AI-powered ‘robocops’ to police roads and direct traffic around the clock.
Wearing reflective vests and white caps, the humanoid officers have been spotted patrolling Wuhu City, in eastern China’s Anhui Province, barking orders at civilians.
‘For your safety, please ride bicycles in the non-motorized lane,’ one robot was heard calling out to a cyclist who veered into traffic.
The robots’ futuristic appearance has made them local celebrities, with pedestrians frequently pausing to snap photos.
Traffic police officer Jiang Zihao described the machines as ‘new colleagues’ capable of assisting officers on the streets.
According to Jiang, the AI-enabled robot – known as Intelligent Police Unit R001 – is linked to the city’s traffic signal system and can perform traffic-control gestures in sync with changing lights.
Equipped with high-definition cameras and an intelligent voice-broadcasting system, the robot uses advanced algorithms to automatically detect traffic violations by pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles and deliver on-the-spot warnings.
Beyond fixed post duties, the robot is fully mobile, able to autonomously travel to designated locations on command.

How ladylike. she too didn’t wan’t to follow rules.
A woman who cut in line at a popular theme park in California hit a female security guard in the face before the guard tackled her to the ground as onlookers cheered.
The confrontation took place on Saturday at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, a small city in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and it was captured on video by a witness.
In the video, which was obtained by KTLA, the woman who cut the line can be seen arguing with the security guard while another theme park guest attempts to get between the two.
The line-cutter could then be seen hitting the guard in the face, shocking onlookers who loudly exclaimed.
The security guard then immediately tackled the woman who hit her to the ground, and the exclamations turned into cheers.
The guard seems to have suffered a nosebleed from being struck, as after taking out a pair of handcuffs to restrain the unruly guest, she could be seen wiping her nose with her sleeve.
A witness told KTLA that the confrontation began after an employee barred the woman who hit the security guard from entering the attraction she had cut the line for.
The confrontation escalated into an argument, drawing security guards over, which then escalated into an assault. The video begins after the argument was already well

3b,
My first thoughts were of the exact same when I viewed that link.
3b traveling on different papers is rich. Juice is too chickensh!t to admit he’ll be doing the same.
Anyone who doesn’t wan’t to use their American passport isn’t a patriot or true American.
Why would you want to hide who are what you are unless you don’t really believe that is who or what you are?
Even some of the illegals would be proud to be an American. I’d rather have them.
If you aren’t a real american, what are you doing here? grifting?
kind of like many of those church people, say they love god, then do like the priests and bang the altar boys, cheat on their spouses, covet thy neighbors, and spout all of that biblical shit.
l=
If you have dual citizenship and need to give it up or the American passport, which one will it be?
I don’t even want to consider this as an option RL.
Dark Phoenix,
I am proud to be an American, but I don’t want to be harassed while traveling. There are nut jobs all over, just like in the US. The German passport offers me a bit of security in that regard. German passports only list the city of birth and not the country. My passport doesn‘t give me away as being American. My dad was in the US Air Force and I was born in Japan. So any immigration control workers reviewing my German passport will see my city of birth as Tachikawa.
Dark: True American or patriot? That sounds a little right wingish for you. How do you define a true American? My Dad came here and was drafted in less than a year and served. Is that American enough? Trump, Biden, young Bush, and Clinton all got military deferments, but my Dad, the guy off the boat went.
I pay my taxes and contribute, so your grifting comment is nonsense.
I travel a lot to Europe, and I don’t want any hassle or grief because that doofus Trump has a hard on to take over Greeenland. We are the USA, and we are not supposed to be engaging in imperial conquests, we dabbled in the past, but fortunately pulled out of most of these countries fairly quickly. The fact is the people of Greenland have expressed their opinion, they have no interest in being part of the USA. That is it, case closed.
I am appalled that any American would support the forced annexation of Greenland. So, yeah when I am in Europe this summer I don’t want any hassles or grief from the locals, so in between countries or for other ID purposes I will not be using my US passport. I would not be proud to use it, but t rather embarrassed.
Boomer: Traveling on different papers makes perfect sense if the time/situation calls for it. I think the current environment meets that definition. The law says I can be a dual citizen, so nothing un American about that. I also own property in another country, so there is that as well. I don’t feel un American or unpatriotic by not using my US passport in Europe. Who needs or wants the hassles with this crap.

Fat Eddie,
Your words sound nice, like Kumbaya…. Reality is different.
The Libertarian model would work best. — Nothing is as Libertarian as Cartels. The wannabe techno-lords dream of running their libertarian world, wait till they are put in their place by Cartels with more money, connections, and shear preponderance of violence to make them submit. Ask the early russian oligarchs how did it turn out.
The American Empire… has a nice ring to it. — By, For, Benefit of Billionaires. As Carlin said – “You are not invited”
Just the Western Hemisphere… no more. We won’t be so selfish as to want to rule the world. — Your problem is that the world will want to make you their bitch and our edge is based on open society democratic western civilization liberal values. We can’t compete on Stalisnesque style as we don’t have the history, the knowledge, the tolerance for the abuse. And before we get there, enemies of this new empire will have picked apart by different ideological, economical and social groups that will slaughter each other to control the pie.
Let’s face it, Trump has become deranged. TDS is real but it applies to him.
High tariffs (i.e. taxes) is not small government. Nor is government taking stakes in companies, or government threatening companies with price controls, penalties, etc, if they don’t obey the President’s every whim.
Even elementary school kids don’t usually throw tantrums like Trump for not winning his little Nobel prize, which half the time is given to idiots anyway.
Next he’s going to be pissed off that the Melania movie doesn’t win all the Academy Awards.
I know most of you have full time jobs so we don’t have the time to express outrage at all of his hundreds of stupidities. But at this point, anyone rational has to stop making excuses for this extremely unpresidential big baby.
3b,

I don’t buy the Putin/Trump schtick, it has been beaten to death. Trump does Trump. and bows to no one. This Greenland madness is some sort of historic quest on Trump’s part, looking for the history.

Fast: The Baltic countries are pretty small, and with small populations. It would not be too difficult to overwhelm them initially, holding on to them would be another issue. The Russians almost wiped Estonians off the map during their years of occupation after WW 2. Of course if Trump grabs Greenland, then there can be no outrage if Putin re grabs the Baltics or China takes Taiwan. You need to call him and tell him to get a grip, and stop this madness.
Scott Bessent brought up an eye-opening datapoint in Davos.
Since 1980, the US has spent $22 trillion more on defense than all other NATO members combined. They preferred to ramp up welfare instead. That’s about two-thirds of outstanding US debt.

How quaint, making believe that Trump cared about anything besides personal enrichment.
“Of course if Trump grabs Greenland, then there can be no outrage if Putin re grabs the Baltics or China takes Taiwan”
Which is what bothered me about Venezuela. Believe it or not, how you do things matters. Same with blowing up cocaine boats headed to Europe. Or rounding up immigrants dressed like stormtroopers, or bringing in the National Guard to quell protestors. How you do things matters. As does the law of unintended consequences.
Why not let us have access to Greenland to hold China and Russia in check? Why? Why is Greenland so important to Europe? Why?
They need to wake the f up and realize they have 3 options right now: American empire, Chinese empire, or Islamic Empire. The world is not a nice place…stop blaming Trump for this. These other empires have made their moves, and Trump is simply reacting to it in the name of protecting our position.

Lib: Still should not be competing , but your point is taken.
Lib: As I said not pleased with how he got rid of Maduro, but could live with it. Greenland is something else. The optics of rounding up illegal migrants is bad,banging down doors and invading schools etc.
Obama removed far more illegal migrants than Trump is doing, and without the chaos. Remember, Obama was called the “Deporter in Chief”.
Newsome is out lecturing European leaders today on Trump, I hope he knows more about integrity affairs than Biden s Vice President, but probably not by much. Newsome is the front runner for 2028 for President. This is what we have not to look forward to, after the disastrous job he has done in California. But, he will say the right progressive crap and he will win.

3b,
I know, we know, everyone here knows you didn’t vote. There’s no need to explain, yet again, that you did not vote. I also didn’t vote. I just don’t repeatedly use that as a defense.
Think of how much money that saves when you have AI create the software. All that human brain power and capital can now be freed to go and cut down the cost of something else. Scaling/compounding till products are basically free to make or grow (farming is already pretty much automated…imagine on steroids). Can’t tell me money will matter in terms of the context in which we define today. Aka do not fear debt. Just do not based on what we see coming.
When everything is practically free…what do you really need massive amounts of money for? You wouldn’t. It’s as useless as having one billion today…you would just spend it on stupid chit….you couldn’t really spend it all….that’s impossible…unless you decide to buy overpriced stupid chit that you don’t really need. There is no purpose to having that kind of money unless you crave power or are some extremely competitive person that has to be no. 1.
I nearly always vote for NOTA. It’s the proper response for this continual cycle of shit candidates by either party.

Now here is a read. Long but worth it. This shows how much Donnie has set us back.
Overnight in Davos, Switzerland, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered what I suspect will be recorded in future history text books as an era defining speech. It is profound, accurate, and very relevant to another “Middle Power” like Australia.
Here is the full text of that speech. I urge you to read it in its entirety:
“It’s a pleasure – and a duty – to be with you at this turning point for Canada and for the world.
Today, I’ll talk about the rupture in the world order, the end of a nice story, and the beginning of a brutal reality where geopolitics among the great powers is not subject to any constraints.
But I also submit to you that other countries, particularly middle powers like Canada, are not powerless. They have the capacity to build a new order that embodies our values, like respect for human rights, sustainable development, solidarity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of states.
The power of the less powerful begins with honesty.
Every day we are reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry. That the rules-based order is fading. That the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must.
This aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable – the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself. And faced with this logic, there is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along. To accommodate. To avoid trouble. To hope that compliance will buy safety.
It won’t.
So, what are our options?
In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless. In it, he asked a simple question: how did the communist system sustain itself?
His answer began with a greengrocer. Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window: “Workers of the world, unite!” He does not believe it. No one believes it. But he places the sign anyway – to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists.
Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.
Havel called this “living within a lie.” The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source: when even one person stops performing — when the greengrocer removes his sign — the illusion begins to crack.
It is time for companies and countries to take their signs down.
For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order. We joined its institutions, praised its principles, and benefited from its predictability. We could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection.
We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.
This fiction was useful, and American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods: open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.
So, we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.
This bargain no longer works.
Let me be direct: we are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.
Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics laid bare the risks of extreme global integration.
More recently, great powers began using economic integration as weapons. Tariffs as leverage. Financial infrastructure as coercion. Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
You cannot “live within the lie” of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.
The multilateral institutions on which middle powers relied— the WTO, the UN, the COP – the architecture of collective problem solving – are greatly diminished.
As a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions. They must develop greater strategic autonomy: in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance, and supply chains.
This impulse is understandable. A country that cannot feed itself, fuel itself, or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.
But let us be clear-eyed about where this leads. A world of fortresses will be poorer, more fragile, and less sustainable.
And there is another truth: if great powers abandon even the pretence of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from “transactionalism” become harder to replicate. Hegemons cannot continually monetize their relationships.
Allies will diversify to hedge against uncertainty. Buy insurance. Increase options. This rebuilds sovereignty – sovereignty that was once grounded in rules, but will be increasingly anchored in the ability to withstand pressure.
As I said, such classic risk management comes at a price, but that cost of strategic autonomy, of sovereignty, can also be shared. Collective investments in resilience are cheaper than everyone building their own fortress. Shared standards reduce fragmentation. Complementarities are positive sum.
The question for middle powers, like Canada, is not whether to adapt to this new reality. We must. The question is whether we adapt by simply building higher walls – or whether we can do something more ambitious.
Canada was amongst the first to hear the wake-up call, leading us to fundamentally shift our strategic posture.
Canadians know that our old, comfortable assumption that our geography and alliance memberships automatically conferred prosperity and security is no longer valid.
Our new approach rests on what Alexander Stubb has termed “values-based realism” – or, to put it another way, we aim to be principled and pragmatic.
Principled in our commitment to fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, respect for human rights.
Pragmatic in recognising that progress is often incremental, that interests diverge, that not every partner shares our values. We are engaging broadly, strategically, with open eyes. We actively take on the world as it is, not wait for a world we wish to be.
Canada is calibrating our relationships so their depth reflects our values. We are prioritising broad engagement to maximise our influence, given the fluidity of the world order, the risks that this poses, and the stakes for what comes next.
We are no longer relying on just the strength of our values, but also on the value of our strength.
We are building that strength at home.
Since my government took office, we have cut taxes on incomes, capital gains and business investment, we have removed all federal barriers to interprovincial trade, and we are fast-tracking a trillion dollars of investment in energy, AI, critical minerals, new trade corridors, and beyond.
We are doubling our defence spending by 2030 and are doing so in ways that builds our domestic industries.
We are rapidly diversifying abroad. We have agreed a comprehensive strategic partnership with the European Union, including joining SAFE, Europe’s defence procurement arrangements.
We have signed twelve other trade and security deals on four continents in the last six months.
In the past few days, we have concluded new strategic partnerships with China and Qatar.
We are negotiating free trade pacts with India, ASEAN, Thailand, Philippines, Mercosur.
To help solve global problems, we are pursuing variable geometry— different coalitions for different issues, based on values and interests.
On Ukraine, we are a core member of the Coalition of the Willing and one of the largest per-capita contributors to its defence and security.
On Arctic sovereignty, we stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland’s future. Our commitment to Article 5 is unwavering.
We are working with our NATO allies (including the Nordic Baltic 😎 to further secure the alliance’s northern and western flanks, including through Canada’s unprecedented investments in over-the-horizon radar, submarines, aircraft, and boots on the ground. Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland and calls for focused talks to achieve shared objectives of security and prosperity for the Arctic.
On plurilateral trade, we are championing efforts to build a bridge between the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the European Union, creating a new trading block of 1.5 billion people.
On critical minerals, we are forming buyer’s clubs anchored in the G7 so that the world can diversify away from concentrated supply.
On AI, we are cooperating with like-minded democracies to ensure we will not ultimately be forced to choose between hegemons and hyperscalers.
This is not naive multilateralism. Nor is it relying on diminished institutions. It is building the coalitions that work, issue by issue, with partners who share enough common ground to act together. In some cases, this will be the vast majority of nations.
And it is creating a dense web of connections across trade, investment, culture on which we can draw for future challenges and opportunities.
Middle powers must act together because if you are not at the table, you are on the menu.
Great powers can afford to go it alone. They have the market size, the military capacity, the leverage to dictate terms. Middle powers do not. But when we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness. We accept what is offered. We compete with each other to be the most accommodating.
This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.
In a world of great power rivalry, the countries in between have a choice: to compete with each other for favour or to combine to create a third path with impact.
We should not allow the rise of hard power to blind us to the fact that the power of legitimacy, integrity, and rules will remain strong — if we choose to wield it together.
Which brings me back to Havel.
What would it mean for middle powers to “live in truth”?
It means naming reality. Stop invoking the “rules-based international order” as though it still functions as advertised. Call the system what it is: a period of intensifying great power rivalry, where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as a weapon of coercion.
It means acting consistently. Apply the same standards to allies and rivals. When middle powers criticise economic intimidation from one direction but stay silent when it comes from another, we are keeping the sign in the window.
It means building what we claim to believe in. Rather than waiting for the old order to be restored, create institutions and agreements that function as described.
And it means reducing the leverage that enables coercion. Building a strong domestic economy should always be every government’s priority. Diversification internationally is not just economic prudence; it is the material foundation for honest foreign policy. Countries earn the right to principled stands by reducing their vulnerability to retaliation.
Canada has what the world wants. We are an energy superpower. We hold vast reserves of critical minerals. We have the most educated population in the world. Our pension funds are amongst the world’s largest and most sophisticated investors. We have capital, talent, and a government with the immense fiscal capacity to act decisively.
And we have the values to which many others aspire.
Canada is a pluralistic society that works. Our public square is loud, diverse, and free. Canadians remain committed to sustainability.
We are a stable, reliable partner—in a world that is anything but—a partner that builds and values relationships for the long term.
Canada has something else: a recognition of what is happening and a determination to act accordingly.
We understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation. It calls for honesty about the world as it is.
We are taking the sign out of the window.
The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy.
But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just.
This is the task of the middle powers, who have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and the most to gain from a world of genuine cooperation.
The powerful have their power. But we have something too – the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home, and to act together.
That is Canada’s path. We choose it openly and confidently.
And it is a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us.”

Lol. You guys are outrageously entertaining. My battery in my car is almost dead. Fucking Trump. Lol.

Oh, a country that cannot feed, fuel and defend itself? Hmmm….
That “speech” did nothing to inspire me and I like being inspired but unfortunately, nothing the Left says inspires me in the least.

Carney is full of it. He is a Bankster who is running Canada now.
Look they have an active duty force of 68,000 soldiers. The only reason they can keep such a small force to protect such a large country is because of Big Brother USA by far the largest and most advanced military in the world.
They cannot save Ukraine, they cannot defend Greenland, they can complain however about the old world order.
Fact is Trump took a blow torch to the old order, WTO, UN and and COP and made them irrelevant, about as irrelevant Canada is when it comes to making the rules for world order.
RE: electric bikes.
How many of those who think illegals should get deported because it is the law are now going to break the law over electric bikes because it’s stupid?
When you pick and choose which laws you are going to break, you are no better than those who you complain about. You are just a liar and a hypocrite, and probably go to church on Sunday as well.
Canadians are getting awesome Chinese BYD cars.
Americans get tariffed products and unreliable cars that keep you spending money at the parasitic dealerships, where they pay their mechanics so little money on warranty work that your car comes out worse than it did when it went in.

I doubt their claims of 60 Billion AUM today when four years ago they had $42.44 in their bank accounts.
Or maybe they don’t go around creating enemies.
The Ruskies are doing ok in Ukraine. Day by day, gaining ground. Popped a few of those zillion dollar Patriot systems in the last 24 hours.
Russia has been holding an olive branch out to those silly Europeans, who are being laughed at by Trump, his handlers, Stephen Miller, little bearded guy, and Marco Polo.
Kaja Kallas is just another mouthpiece, how exactly did she get that job?
Europe’s leaders are selling out their people. How many of them have closets of gold bars like Menendez?
Look they have an active duty force of 68,000 soldiers. The only reason they can keep such a small force to protect such a large country is because of Big Brother USA by far the largest and most advanced military in the world.
Won’t be long before one of these NATO countries sells some of the American high tech weapons to China to have it reverse engineered.
With the Chinese work ethic and STEM capabilities, it will be disassembled in 24 hours, decoded in 48, and manufactured in quantity by 72.

German Professor on President Trump:
Trump has been President for a year now and has achieved:
-4.3% GDP growth
-the oil price is 20% lower than a year ago
-unemployment below 4.5%
-the American stock markets have risen by about 20% during this period
-inflation is at 2.7%
-the trade deficit is the lowest in 17 years
-the crime rate has declined significantly
-illegal migration has dropped by 95%
Here in Europe, we get indignant, demonize or sabotage him wherever we can. But Trump isn’t Germany’s Chancellor—why should he do anything positive for us? We could, however, learn from it and actually tackle our own problems.
Trump isn’t alone in this. But what I see: His team works with tremendous efficiency.
In German politics, by contrast, success is unwelcome. It is rendered impossible by a multitude of agreements, separation of powers, and regulations. The Bundestag is the best example of that.

thanks to politicians like Biden.
They “legislate” a car that should get a 50 percent increase in mileage each year.
That should pollute 50 percent less each year.
That has to protect the brain dead driver from their stupid driving habits.
That has to keep itself in its lane, cause the vape and alchohol American addled driver can’t do it anymore.
That has sensors to keep it from crashing into the car in front of them so they can drink, do makeup, or text pictures of their cats to their friends.
so you make the block thinner, use wet cylinders, turbocharge, and do just about everything that gives the dopey politician everything they “legislate” and the engineers headaches.
Then pay mechanics very little to repair what is fuccced up in design, production, and implementation.
It’s all junk now. Cars getting totaled now do to cost of sensors.
Making America Great Again
I don’t like Trump as an individual, but maybe that is what makes him a good leader. He is not fake. He tells it how it is. He is not here to be your friend and make you happy; he is here to do what’s best for America and its future. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything he has done so far has made our country better and stronger, yet TDS kicks in, and these people attack him for trying to improve their lives. It’s insane. They have tried to sabotage him every way possible, but he has overcome it.
Lowest murder rate in history….enough said. How can you go against that?
Huge economic growth when people expected it to crash. How can you go against this?
Stopped the illegal migration to our country that we ALL HAD TO PAY FOR in the form of lower wages, crime, and higher taxes. How can you against this?
He has made America a power again instead of being laughed at and taken advantage of on the national level. How can you go against this?
He has significantly stopped China from passing us up and being our master….. How can you go against this?
He has found massive amounts of fraud… How can you go against this?
The haters….keep focusing on ICE and other bs. The Democrats need to reinvent themselves instead of focusing on extremism with their hate for Trump. Their world revolves around hating Trump. How many years can you keep going being filled with pure hate for someone? Let it go….and focus on improving the country. Seriously.
I am a Democrat….don’t forget that. Still some good democrats out there, but they need to take control of their party. Trump isn’t even a righty….he is a centrist. He helped reinvent the Republican Party and what it stands for….Make America Great Again. Simple and to the point. Democrats need to take a step back and come up with a similar plan. At the end of the day, they really just want what Trump wants…. a better more secure America that continues to provide opportunities for its citizens.

“Absolute Resolve” and “Midnight Hammer” were not just successful, they made a statement. Now, when we speak, when Trump speaks, the world listens. There’s no threats of “don’t” or “red lines” because no one takes threats seriously from weaklings.

Go to Walmart, you are doing nothing wrong, film your face with recognition software. Don’t worry, you aren’t committing a crime.

The 76-year-old “Born in the U.S.A” rocker appeared unannounced at the “Light of Day Winterfest 2026” at the Count Basie Center for the Arts, where he delivered a nearly two-minute speech before performing his 1978 hit.
The Boss explained he wrote the song “as an ode to American possibility… about both the beautiful but flawed country that we are, and to the country that we could be,” according to multiple clips from the venue. Springsteen said American rights and values have never been tested more than they are now. He then told the crowd:
“If you believe in democracy, in liberty, if you believe that truth still matters, that it’s worth speaking out, that it is worth fighting for, if you believe in the power of the law and no one stands above it, if you stand against heavily armed masked federal troops invading American cities and using Gestapo tactics against our fellow citizens, if you believe you don’t deserve to be murdered for exercising your American right to protest, then send a message to this president, and as the mayor of that city has said, ‘ICE should get the f— out of Minneapolis.'”
He then dedicated “The Promised Land” to Renée Good, the Minneapolis mother of three who was shot and killed by ICE officers earlier this month.

“Lowest murder rate in history….enough said. How can you go against that?”
While the Trump administration has taken credit for these declines, experts note that this sharp drop in 2025 is a continuation of a downward trend that began in 2023 and 2024, following a sharp rise in 2020-2021.
Context of 2020: During the last year of the first Trump presidency (2020), the US experienced the largest increase in the murder rate on record.

Irrespective of your political affiliation this is just bonkers. This guy has such an axe to grind against so, so many people. It is a 1.5 hour list of grievances. He’s doing accents, impressions, insults. Insane.

You didn’t know about Shoshanna? What tabloid rock are you living under?

I see that Shoshanna Lonstein is now 50, has already married and divorced, and is kind of old and snookie-looking. Those big milkers when she was aged 17 are probably a low-hanging burden now. Jerry Seinfeld dodged a bullet by breaking up after a few years, it looks like. I can’t believe he’s 71 now, and now they both look about the same age.
Seinfeld’s big mistake is marrying some chick who writes vegan cookbooks. You just know he loves to travel without her and eat big pastrami sandwiches.
Dark: It was not just Democrats supporting pensions, Republicans did too, and were behind Eisenhower’s pension bill in the 1950’s that did a lot for employer sponsored plans, of course they are all pretty much gone now, and the the Republicans did nothing about it, and neither did your “friends” the Democrats .The Republicans are not your friends ,a ND neither are the Democrats, they are the elitists now, with multiple residences and villas in Tuscany. Maybe, the young people are on to something with their so called Democratic Socialism, but in the end, it won t work, because it is does not work. History has proved that.
For a supposedly smart guy, it’s amazing that you still mock these “electronic tokens.”
Understand this: just like stocks have penny stocks, so does crypto. Do penny stocks represent all stocks? So why do you do it with digital assets?
How can you call real technology a scam? You might not understand it, and that’s fine, but just because you don’t understand it doesn’t make it a scam.
I am not mocking you, I am being sincere.

“Cathie Wood Sees Bitcoin’s Shallowest Cycle Decline
Complete
On CNBC’s ‘Halftime Report,’ Ark Invest CEO
Cathie Wood stated Bitcoin has largely finished its down cycle following the halving, calling it the shallowest decline-
—around 30% from its October
2025 peak near $126,000—compared to past drops of 77% to 93%. Trading near $89,000, Bitcoin shows maturing volatility thanks to institutional inflows via spot ETFs like ARK’s ARKB and potential deregulation. Wood described it as three revolutions: a rules-based monetary system, technology breakthrough, and new asset class, with traders now eyeing supports around $85,000.”

Greenland / Iceland whatever it takes. I mean Eric the Red fooled people with the names, maybe it will work on Donny the Orange?
Back on Wood again. I bet you listened to Z100.
Why do you hate her so much? What did she say, in what I just shared, that is completely wrong? What????
Your weakness…you don’t open up your mind. No one is correct 100% of the time, but just because they are not, doesn’t mean we should ignore their thoughts.

And there it is….Trump won’t impose tariffs on European nations after he reached the framework for a future deal on Greenland with NATO.
Everyone goes nuts and overreacts…thanks for the “dip.” I love when everyone reacts like retards.
Trump says no tariffs on EU countries. Apparently he and NATO have reached a framework for agreement on Greenland, that will be beneficial for all. Says he had no interest in Greenland s minerals, and calls Denmark ungrateful for all the help the US has given them since WW II.
We’ve talked a lot about this on the Pod, but the Great SaaS Meltdown has started and there’s no going back.
What exactly is happening?
In short, hi growth, low/no profitability SaaS is no longer a winning strategy because the big question mark is the durability of that growth in the short term and, because of AI, the lack of profits in the long term. Every SaaS company has sold the dream (to investors and employees) that they will growth quickly now, and harvest lots of cash later. With AI, this assumption may be completely out the window.
Now the threshold question is whether their growth will be overtaken by a much cheaper AI-developed solution?
If you are a venture supported SaaS startup and are a legacy Heuristics+APIs+CRUD product, it is likely that a new AI oriented workflow is coming for you.
Investors in private markets can see this now and think that money to fund short term growth will not be rewarded. Investors in public markets no longer believe long term profitability is possible. They would rather pivot into something they think is more resilient.
This is a change in the risk calculus that has existed for the past 15 years and why the chart below is the chart below.
Good luck to all the players!

You keep saying that I called bitcoin a “scam” repeating that word many times. Yet I’ve never used that word. Is this some sort of subliminal projection, where your fears of it being a scam lead you to project that word onto other people? There are so many ways to invest poorly that are not a “scam.”
And yes, Pumpkin, my IQ is much higher than yours, there’s nothing “supposedly” about it. It’s ok, I know many people whose IQs are higher than mine, and yet I can still outthink them in many fields by integrating knowledge more coherently. Unfortunately, you have neither high IQ nor solid thinking methods, so it’s probably better for you to stick with landlording granny’s house and your government job, rather than yet again getting sucked into investments that you simply don’t comprehend, yet feel the constant need to promote.

– 1980 Recession: RSI 91+ → generational top
– 2011 GFC Aftermath: RSI hit the 90s → 9 years of pain

To Make Homes Affordable Again, Someone Has to Lose Out
Young Americans need home prices to fall. Existing owners don’t want to take a hit.
By Carol Ryan
Trapped renters want home prices to fall so they can finally get onto the property ladder. Millions of existing owners want values to stay high. These and other conflicting interests make it hard for policymakers to give young Americans a leg up in a brutal housing market.
President Trump is heeding anger about housing affordability ahead of the midterm elections, and the administration has been drip-feeding ideas about how to tackle the issue.
A 50-year mortgage and a proposal to order Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy billions of dollars of mortgage bonds to push down borrowing costs have been floated. Earlier this month, Trump suggested banning Wall Street investors from buying any more single-family homes. He is also expected to announce a plan at Davos to let Americans tap their 401(k)s for a down payment.
Policies that give home hunters extra buying power, such as a 50-year mortgage and lower rates, do nothing to address the underlying housing shortage and could even push prices higher.
If mortgage rates were to fall to, say, 4.5% without a pickup in new housing supply, home prices would increase by a tenth over the next three years, according to an analysis by the AEI Housing Center.
Evicting institutional landlords from the housing market won’t move the needle, either. Wall Street investors own only 1% of U.S. family homes, though their share is higher in parts of the country such as Atlanta and Nashville, Tenn., based on data from John Burns Research & Consulting.
The reality of what would be needed to make homes affordable again is stark, and shows why there is no simple fix for housing markets.
According to an analysis by Realtor.com, one of three things would need to happen to bring affordability back to 2019 levels. The group defines that as when a buyer on a median household income spends around 20% of their monthly pay on the principal and interest payment for a median-priced home.
If home prices and mortgage rates remain stuck where they are today, a 56% increase in the median household income to $132,000 is needed to return affordability to where it was six years ago. Wages are rising faster than home values, but it would still take around a decade to inflate incomes to this level.
Or, mortgage rates would have to fall to 2.65% to give home hunters the same buying power they had in 2019, which is very unlikely outside of a major recession. Lower rates could also be counterproductive unless there is a corresponding increase in the housing supply, as cheaper borrowing costs would be capitalized into higher home prices.
The third way back to 2019 affordability is for home prices to fall 35%, based on the Realtor.com analysis.
Yet policymakers will be hesitant to address the housing crisis with measures that harm values, such as subsidizing a gush of new supply. For 88 million U.S. households that already own their property, the housing market is a major success story. As of the third quarter of 2025, they were sitting on a near-record $34.4 trillion of housing equity, an increase of nearly 90% since right before the pandemic, the latest data from the Federal Reserve show.
Trump acknowledged this tension in December. “You create a lot of housing all of a sudden, and it drives house prices down. So I want to take care of the people that have houses that have a value to their house that they never thought possible.”
Builders are also reluctant to create a flood of new supply in case this dents prices and profits. Lennar’s chairman said on the company’s latest earnings call that “short supply can’t be fixed by simply adding supply” since this approach would hurt Americans who have already bought.
Another reason the government can’t pour cold water on home prices is the potential consequences for the wider economy. The wealth effect that has been propping up consumer spending is primarily driven by the stock-market boom, but high home prices are likely helping too.
More owners are beginning to tap their equity, which could keep the U.S. economy humming a while longer. Home-equity loans are the fastest-growing category of consumer credit, although from a low base, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.
It is hard to come up with a national policy to boost housing supply, anyway: Land-use restrictions and zoning laws are set by more than 33,000 different local entities across the country. Things are beginning to move in places where the housing supply is especially crunched. Last week, New York state loosened environmental rules to try to speed up housing construction.
The Trump administration is trying to walk a fine line on housing. Frustration among young Americans who haven’t been able to buy their own homes needs to be tackled in a way that doesn’t puncture swollen housing equity.
For now, White House proposals are about grabbing headlines that may play well with voters. These won’t change the fact that housing remains a zero-sum game.
Interesting Scott Bessent clip. A must watch. Most don’t know he did this very important thing before his current career:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg
And if the Fed drops rates that low, then prices go up. The Fed did that already when 30 year mortgage rates went to under 3 percent a few years ago, thanks to Fed manipulation.
The only solution is a big drop in prices. That’s it. At some point the Senior Citizens will be moving on, or they will be gone, big inventory then which will push prices down, the kids want thr cash from the sale of houses. Then again with the birth rate so
Low who needs the houses? Next up all the colleges that will be closing not enough bodies to put in the seats in the classroom, and then too AI.
Despite his subsequent claim of a “framework of a future deal” for Greenland sans details, the Danes are having none of it. Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen rejected any talks on a takeover. “We will not enter into any negotiations on the basis of giving up fundamental principles,” he told reporters in Copenhagen. “That is something we will never do.”
More Trump lies.
Winning!
More from the elementary school playground know as MAGA…
California Governor Gavin Newsom, seen as a likely frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, said he was denied entry to an event at the sidelines of the World Economic Forum after pressure from the White House.
Newsom had been invited to speak at an event at the USA House, a venue showcasing US companies at Davos. The USA House “under pressure from the White House and State Department” restricted his entrance to the area, Newsom’s office said in a social media post. Anna Kelly, a spokeswoman for the Trump administration, referred to Newsom as “third-rate governor Newscum” in a White House statement responding to the allegation.

He has brought back chip making to the United States. Do you know how important this is and he did it. He forced companies to manufacture pharmaceuticals here. He is slowly taking the rope around our necks away from China.
He is modernizing the govt and financial system.
He has eliminated all the pointless no show federal jobs. Discovered tons of fraud. Took a bat to the political establishment’s ability to funnel money through these non govt bs entities.
He took away so much red tape for the business community. That’s rocket fuel for a boom. More efficiency….and that’s on top of the efficiency being produced by ai. This economy is going to absolutely rip. He helped create these conditions.

Looks like Iran may be back on.

Also, concern that Iran could break apart. 50 percent of the population is non Iranian/ Persian.
