Susan Kokinda argues that a Trump-Putin phone call signaled alignment in blaming Zelenskyy and European governments for prolonging the Ukraine war, followed by the Kremlin confirming a Victory Day ceasefire.

She says the media focused instead on King Charles’ Washington visit, which she portrays as an effort to preserve the UK-led “Special Relationship,” while Chatham House speakers acknowledged that the post-1949 order and US underwriting of European security is ending.

Kokinda then frames the UAE’s exit from OPEC as a major crack in the post-1971 petrodollar system built around dollar-floating, OPEC price control, and Gulf instability, noting new regional security ties such as Israeli Iron Dome support in the UAE.

Finally, she highlights the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital, described as an internal investment bank with about $210B in lending authority to finance industrial capacity and “de-risk” critical production.

For decades, the SR 71 Blackbird ruled the sky, cruising at Mach 3.2 - about 2200 miles per hour.

It was so fast that thousands of missiles fired at it never scored a single hit.

For half a century, nothing came close.

Now something faster is coming.

The SR 72 Darkstar.

A new stealth aircraft built to push toward Mach ten - nearly 7700 miles per hour.

At that speed, modern air defenses barely have time to react.

So the real questions are:

• How close is the SR 72 to the sky?

• And will it be airborne in the present war?

April 7th, 2003…

A 28-year-old captain dives her A-10 Warthog through a wall of anti-aircraft fire over Baghdad - and a surface-to-air missile slams into her tail.

Hydraulics gone.

Controls dead.

What she does next becomes one of the most legendary saves in modern aviation history.

In this video, 3 of the most intense A-10 missions ever flown are presented…

• Kim Campbell's hour-long fight to bring a crippled jet home on steel cables

• Mike Hilkert's six-hour rescue over Kapisa, dodging nine surface-to-air missiles to shield a downed crew, and

• Karl Marks killing 23 Iraqi tanks in a single day during Desert Storm

Is America heading down a dangerous path?

In this video, Yoel and Mari sit down to have an honest and urgent conversation about the frightening parallels between today’s America and pre-revolution Cuba - from political assassination attempts to inflammatory rhetoric being used to divide everyday people.

As someone with firsthand experience watching a country unravel, Yoel shares what these warning signs really mean and why we can’t afford to ignore them.

They also break down how to protect yourself by being intentional about where you consume your news and who you allow to shape your worldview.

If you care about the future of this country, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.

Our note: This is going to depend on where you live - Blue States have been and still are notorious for their Socialist policies and they have only been getting worse since Biden took office, accompanied by self-inflicted TDS in all such States. They aren’t getting their way and are pulling what can only be categorized as childish temper tantrums, believing they will get their way by puling a me, me, me hissy fit. We are publishing this as a warning to all that our work is still yet to be finished…

A 25 foot strand of bare copper wire, grounded into damp earth outside your foundation, eliminates mold permanently by draining the static charge that pulls spores to your walls in the first place.

The Amish have been doing this since the 1700s, and an 1897 Pennsylvania agricultural bulletin documented 94% mold reduction in barns using this exact method.

You can install it this weekend for less than $40, and it will outlive you with zero maintenance.

The American mold remediation industry generates over $4 billion annually selling you chemicals, dehumidifiers, and air purifiers that never fix the root cause.

Dr. William Frear documented this technique in his 1897 Penn State Extension bulletin on page 43, including the addition of charred oak bark bundles that create what he called a "biological scavenger field."

Cornell confirmed it again in 2011 with 12 farmhouses in upstate New York, then buried the study with no press release and no follow-up funding.

This video shows the exact installation method using number ten bare solid copper wire, a 4-foot grounding rod, one brass split-bolt connector, and optional homemade charred oak bark wrapped at 12-inch intervals - all installed along your baseboard without tearing out walls, hiring contractors, or pulling permits.

You answer the phone, say hello, and all you hear is silence.

Then a click.

Sound familiar?

That three-second pause is not a glitch.

It is a sophisticated automated system called a predictive dialer, and it is testing whether your phone number belongs to a real person.

Once it confirms you are real, your number becomes a valuable target sold to scam operations worldwide.

In this video, we break down the 4 phases of the silent call scam, from the initial robocall blast to how your number ends up on a criminal hot list.

You will learn exactly what happens during those 3 seconds of silence and why saying hello is the worst thing you can do.

Most importantly, we give you a complete four-step defense plan called the Silent Shield that you can start using today.

Plus, we cover what to do if you have already been answering these calls for years.

If you or someone you love answers unknown calls, this video could save thousands of dollars.

Share it with a parent, grandparent, or friend today.

Our Note: the strategy presented in the video has a flaw - your background noise. Some scammers will recorder that background noise in spite of not saying hello - indicating they have a real person. You are better off letting an unknown caller or a number you do not recognize go to voicemail then retrieve the voicemail later.

YouTube’s Tasted & Tested channel’s latest food video exposes widespread practices within the dairy industry, revealing how many products on shelves are not what they seem.

They dive deep into the truth about butter, showing you how to spot "fake butter" and make informed consumer choices by reading "food labels".

Learn about the importance of "natural ingredients" versus the promises of mass production to ensure better food quality in your kitchen, especially when considering products like "homemade butter".

They also discuss the issue of "natural flavors" and other "hidden ingredients" in commercial butters.

NOTE: Kerrigold recently changed the recipe of their UNSALTED but not the salted butter. Occasionally check the ingredients on your favorite butter - companies do not have to notify of changes if the ingredients fall within government guidelines.

1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs / 454 g = 1 lb

1.00 GBP = 1.3489 USD (28 Apr 2026)

You only need one ingredient and one tool - a stand mixer, but you could also use a Food Processor, and the best quality and high fat heavy cream (aka double cream) you can find (or afford).

Either way it is super fast and super easy to make Butter!

You should all try it at least once just to see how delicious it is!

RECIPE…

• CREAM! More fatter the better -

  • 2 cups (473 ml) of heavy cream will produce approximately 1/2 pound of delicious butter

  • 1 lbs (453 g) butter will make 11.5 ounces (333 ml) of liquid clarified butter

• About salt, you can add it at any time and how much really depends on your taste. If you add the salt before the wash, some of it will wash off but most of it will stay in. Add a little at first and you can always add more.

Advice on Buying Commercial Butter

READ THE INGREDIENTS - there should only be TWO ingredients: cream and salt. Anything else is to compensate for low quality cream - or even no cream at all, such as hydrogenated oil-based butters.

You should occasionally reread the ingredients as well - some companies will change their recipe and not make any notice of it.

Grass fed, organic, are many times marketing gimmicks - pasture raised is what you want to look for. Governments have allowed very loose terms to be used for organic.

Revolutionary America tells the story of the American Founding, the greatest political achievement in history.

The American colonists had developed a unique way of life as they practiced self-government for 150 years.

In the struggles between the colonies and the mother country that followed the French and Indian War, Britain declared that Americans had no right to rule themselves.

This went against everything the Americans knew.

In response, our ancestors risked their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” to fight the War for Independence.

Against all odds, they won, and in victory formed a stable, lasting republic.

This documentary, produced by Hillsdale Studios, narrated by Tom Selleck, and featuring interviews with prominent scholars and commentators, will help you see the Revolution through the eyes of the Americans who lived through it.

With expert commentary, historical documents, compelling cinematography, and beautiful music, experience the Revolution like never before.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution (meaning, no government funding) of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith. The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law. By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
