“The United States Congress, on the very eve of the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, is preparing to formally diminish American independence and sovereignty through a proposed merger and long-term integration of executive functions throughout the government, coordinated by the Department of Defense. Treacherous provisions in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) mandate that the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Commerce Department, and the heads of other relevant Federal departments and agencies cooperate with their Israeli counterparts for the purpose of consolidating U.S. and Israeli military activities in order to align efforts and avoid duplication.” (06/25/26)

“As today’s AI companies race to create artificial intelligence that is smarter than humans, governments around the world are failing to meet the moment. … The only solution is an international prohibition on the development of superintelligent AI.” [editor’s note: In other words, only “rogue states” would develop superintelligence. How’s that likely to work out for everyone else? – TLK] 06/25/26)

“The new federal ROAD to Housing Act focuses on relief for community banks, changes to manufactured housing rules, and updates to existing federal programs. It limits large investors from buying single-family homes. The bill authorizes no new funds in most of its sections. Proponents say the country faces a severe housing shortage. As usual, the federal government is behind the curve. But the ROAD Housing Act is a mixed bag, like most laws. The positive: loosens some regulations. The negative: it will restrict supply (opposite of its intent).” (06/25/26)

“The Democratic Party is trying to get born again. For forty years it didn’t want to be. Since Reagan, the Democrats stopped fighting the world he built and started managing it. Bill Clinton signed NAFTA and sent the factories south. He signed the crime bill Joe Biden wrote and helped fill the prisons. He ended welfare and called it reform. He tore down the wall between the banks and your money, and a few years later the banks lost your money and got bailed out for it. Obama bailed them out, let the houses go, deported people by the millions, and kept the drone war and the surveillance state running without missing a step. On the things that decide who holds power, money and war and the police and the spying, our party and theirs were one party. That was never where they fought.” (06/25/26)
