Pablo Picasso Visage 1928 • Biden Team Spent Aid Budget Like ‘Drunken Sailors’ – White House (RT) • Trump To Offer Buyouts To All Federal Worke
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle January 29 2025]He remains way, waaaaaaay over antisemite cartoon-land. I’m like, for this you became totally pro woke in 2015? To end up here? And as Benton would say, he’s getting played, missing the point, and might get (the wrong) people killed.
https://sinfest.xyz/btphp/comics/2025-01-29.jpgTrump Vid, this reminds me of discussions on gender (yes, I’m wasting my time elsewhere). Men are like, don’t respond, don’t notice, don’t care what you say about them. BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE. The hyperfeminized culture cares about words and their “Signaling” social status, social bank account. I say this often here, like “My dude, I know what I said and who I am. Every person here read exactly what I wrote. What do you think this slander and misrepresentation is going to do for you?” Similar here, but on steroids – they’d say it’s because he’s super-alpha-macho-manly. Meh. Not. Prob because he’s a multi-billionaire who’s been sued perpetually since day he turned 18 in 1980. Lawsuits are just part of everyday life, like a car breaking down for us, and takes no special bravery or thought. Then goes to 50 5-star dinners a month, which really takes the edge off.
But it’s the same basis: Hysterical Hyperfeminine goes, “I used WORDS!!! Really really bad WORDS!!!! Why aren’t you withering under the majesty of my audio attack?” Trump like other men is like “Huh? Were you saying something?” Because words only get value from YOU. Identifying with them, worrying about them. If you want something to happen, ACT.
To me the only mystery is when some uninformed dummkopf says something we listen at all ever. As in: Dumm. Why would any smart or even normal person take the word of the obviously retarded? Yes that’s where we are. And as that’s associated with the present hysterical hyperfeminine, make your own decision but it doesn’t reflect well.
“Vivek Ramaswamy clarifies why he left DOGE.”
Doubt it, but don’t care.
“DOJ officials involved in prosecutions of Donald Trump have been fired.”
They SUFFER I tell you! With a 6-figure pension and free health care for life. I hope you’re sorry now! …Really?
Boy those Republicans sure clean house! They showed ‘em not to mess with us. Helen Keller.
“Matt Taibbi tells Tucker Carlson Team Trump is livid over the assassination attempts. This was the last straw and they will be very public about it.”
And did nothing and we know less about them than The Kardashian’s breakfast routine. What assassination? If there had been one it’d be in the news.
“Because now once the pardon’s delivered, the person can’t plead the fifth.”
Watch them. Surely you jest, sir. “I cannot recall, Senator”. 100,000 times, until the sun burns out in a cold heat death. Republicans: Jesus on a stick, think like “rules” apply. What will it take?
“defending President Donald Trump’s decision to temporarily freeze foreign aid.”
Oh no, sir. ONE very specific foreign aid is wide, wide open. I wasn’t at all troubled by our seven figures for Chad. Argentina, not really an issue.
“• Trump To Offer Buyouts To All Federal Workers (ZH)
Exactly what Luongo said. Just model of corporate restructure. It may be expensive but it CAPS the labor costs and size while they restructure. …That is to say bankruptcy, but we may not have to get that far. Think of it like hostile takeover and defenestration of a failing Board of Directors.
“The vast majority of Americans will agree with this, even Democrats.
• Trump Executive Order Bans “Chemical And Surgical Mutilation” Of Children (ZH)Leads to what I see on chat boards, both yes, literally no one wants this, yet they are driven to the point of exhaustion and death to promote it. Just as apparently from their online appearance trans people are like 20% of the population? I mean, seems pretty clear they don’t have jobs if they can post all day, wtf? Obviously they’re all getting killed like Arianda Grande says, that’s why they’re doing literally nothing, and training with no guns for Hitler and popping up their heads saying “Look at me! Look at me! Over here!!!!!!!!!”
Hey, spitballing here, but does that mean they’re perhaps mentally ill? What clued you in? They’re also like 50x the prison sex offenders? I tell you much as I thought that was off-color, I was off by more than an order of magnitude in guessing who they were and what would happen. No wonder Mao used them in the Cultural Revolution, have to find enough mentally ill somewhere.

• Homan Defends ICE Raids, Says He Will Carry Out Mission ‘Without Apology’ (JTN)What a lunatic! Just because the FBI and every other agency said the exact same thing under Biden.
“NOW – Tom Homan Declares War on Cartels After Border Agents Fired Upon”
They asked why Trump would designate as Terrorists (probably are) and send the U.S. Military. That’s okay though! They’re actually just CIA, so fire at will!
““The Army Corps of Engineers are everywhere!”“Why didn’t Joe Biden do this 4 months ago?”
Because National Guard are called by the GOVERNOR. And so he did what exactly? Like Eric over in NYC they probably said they’d arrest him on false charges if he helped anyone.
“• Comer Launches Investigation Into Sanctuary Cities, Invites Mayors To Testify (JTN)
That seems an appropriate minimum. Like all Socialists, since they have a good and solid reason, they won’t mind explain it to us openly without changing the definition of all the words. Of COURSE it takes 18 months to give you a permit to sweep your own driveway! Not do the WORK, mind you, issue the PERMIT. Oh and calling a dumpster means toxic waste/superfund rules. …Unless it’s one of our approved Soviet Oligarchs, comrade.
“The Biden administration did [it], they tried to kill Putin,” Carlson said, without providing any further details about the alleged assassination plot.”
Don’t play Pollyanna with me, honey. They specifically drone-attacked that wing of the Kremlin, among others. Oh that never happened now? How about the Mercedes that magically crossed 5 lanes to smash into his driver?
“• Ukrainian Energy Infrastructure On Verge Of Collapse – Forbes (RT)
Goes to show there are a lot of levels of collapse. As the Joker said, you can wipe out 1,000 Gang Bangers, nobody notices because it’s “all part of the PLAN.” The state of Ukr for 3 years would be considered a “Collapse” if that level were in New Jersey. Now it’s like, “It’s not collapsed because we still have 10 candles and a generator in one farmhouse in Lviv.” Get a grip.
“• Ukraine Conflict Could End In Weeks – Putin (RT)
Yes, because for the moment they’ve secured all Russian territory. That is, all the annexed Donbas. Crickets. Kiev – that is to say London – can’t resist attacking, so they will go bankrupt (stages of this are already happening) and when they attack, Russia can keep fighting for the rest if they want.
“Trump has a short window to get out and blame it all on Biden. Very short by now.”
Maybe, and the Duran are beside themselves with the positioning. But if Trump and Putin are allies against a third party, all this makes much more sense. All this Cooke, etc “Assumptions” are off-target when that’s the case. It’s because it’s not “Two nations” who are “Fighting a war” and “Adversaries” so therefore, logic, game theory, chess, behave this way. How about it’s like poker where one of the players has to figure out how to “lose” his kitty to just one certain other player at the table, so it’s transferred legally and tax free?
But that would be collusion! We all know that never happens.
“• Denmark Allows Russia’s Gazprom To Do Work On Damaged NS2 Pipeline (ZH)
Whoops, funny old world.
““when Trump promised his voters that the United States must be the ‘winner’ in any international trade or financial agreement, he is declaring economic war on the rest of the world.”
Dude, you’re f—king high. The opposite of that is “The U.S. must always LOSE every trade agreement.” Literally no country has ever acted another way. We don’t call that f—king “war” you dips—t. Countries push their interests. Yeah, so does Chad, Columbia, Iran. Good on ‘em, but don’t ask us NOT to. “History Exists”. Surprise!
This is the kind of thoughtless triumphalism that Pepe does now and it’s going to burn them.
“Trump “thinks that the US economy is like a cosmic black hole, that is, a center of gravity able to pull all the world’s money and economic surplus to itself. That is the explicit aim of America First.”
Yes and no. Yes he’s going to keep us from collapsing (or try) by global capital flows. No s—t. So does every country Hudson would claim is the victim here. But the internal logic of America First also means we’re not going to invade all the countries and we’re in a multipolar world that leaves them alone. This is what they want? And they want the U.S. to collapse instead because Mexico will be really, really safe from us then?

Fact Sheets
OMB Q&A Regarding Memorandum M-25-13
January 28, 2025In implementing President Trump’s Executive Orders, OMB issued guidance requesting that agencies temporarily pause, to the extent permitted by law, grant, loan or federal financial assistance programs that are implicated by the President’s Executive Orders.
Any program not implicated by the President’s Executive Orders is not subject to the pause.
The Executive Orders listed in the guidance are:
Protecting the American People Against Invasion
Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid
Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements
Unleashing American Energy
Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing
Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government
Enforcing the Hyde Amendment
Any program that provides direct benefits to individuals is not subject to the pause.
The guidance establishes a process for agencies to work with OMB to determine quickly whether any program is inconsistent with the President’s Executive Orders. A pause could be as short as day. In fact, OMB has worked with agencies and has already approved many programs to continue even before the pause has gone into effect.
Any payment required by law to be paid will be paid without interruption or delay.
Q: Is this a freeze on all Federal financial assistance?
A: No, the pause does not apply across-the-board. It is expressly limited to programs, projects, and activities implicated by the President’s Executive Orders, such as ending DEI, the green new deal, and funding nongovernmental organizations that undermine the national interest.
Q: Is this a freeze on benefits to Americans like SNAP or student loans?
A: No, any program that provides direct benefits to Americans is explicitly excluded from the pause and exempted from this review process. In addition to Social Security and Medicare, already explicitly excluded in the guidance, mandatory programs like Medicaid and SNAP will continue without pause.Funds for small businesses, farmers, Pell grants, Head Start, rental assistance, and other similar programs will not be paused. If agencies are concerned that these programs may implicate the President’s Executive Orders, they should consult OMB to begin to unwind these objectionable policies without a pause in the payments.
Q: Is the pause of federal financial assistance an impoundment?
A: No, it is not an impoundment under the Impoundment Control Act. It is a temporary pause to give agencies time to ensure that financial assistance conforms to the policies set out in the President’s Executive Orders, to the extent permitted by law. Temporary pauses are a necessary part of program implementation that have been ordered by past presidents to ensure that programs are being executed and funds spent in accordance with a new President’s policies and do not constitute impoundments.
Q: Why was this pause necessary?
A: To act as faithful stewards of taxpayer money, new administrations must review federal programs to ensure that they are being executed in accordance with the law and the new President’s policies.

“Trump has suggested that neighboring Arab countries should take in Palestinian refugees and “clean out” the embattled Gaza. ” His choice words “clean out” say it ALL. The revelation is monumental, a welcome truth. I voted for disruption, getting my wish with this one! Bring it.
So Gaza needs cleaning – with emphasis on “cleaning out”/relocating PEOPLE first. In the Palisades it’s the opposite; the emphasis is on cleaning out the debris. Per the LA presser, he’s empowering the people get back to their lots and to get it done. We don’t see President Trump negotiating the resettlement of the Palisadian CA people with neighboring Cities/States. Oh the contrast – yesterday’s flow of refugees back into Gaza and the people coming back to the Palisades – to stand on their land. Palestinians willing to die for the privilege, can we say the same for the Palisadians?
Catchy language? Preposterous! My favorite “drunken sailors” appear in the film “Mister Roberts”. (Jack Sparrow’s crew a distant second). Curious choice of words form such a young Press Secretary. Is her Gramma on her team or is she really trying to reach us?

Interesting commentary on some of the fallout from Trump’s halting of overseas aid:

This is exactly why, some years ago and to a loud wailing and gnashing of teeth in the western press, Putin kicked foreign NGOs out of Russia. With Washington, Soros and sundry other ne’er do wells funding similar ‘Independent’ media and fake-charity astroturfing operations around the world it’s no wonder that most people have no idea what’s really going on in their own countries.

So help me, help me, help me make the feeling goTrump has asked Musk to rescue space station astronauts Sunita Williams, and Butch Wilmore.
It’s about damn time! And I mean that epithet in more ways than one. It’s about the time that Butch and Sunita have left on their radiation dosimeters. Long story short. A human being can only live outside earth’s magnetosphere for 600 days (absolute maximum) before accumulating the a fatal dose of radiation exposure. 600 days is maximum. 200 days are the minimum, meaning that for SOME poor souls 200 days is all that it takes to amount to a lethal total dosage. I’m not saying that you just drop dead. I’m saying that after receiving a fatal dose of radiation you are a dead man walking.
The space station is not fully outside all the magnetosphere’s protective zone, so that helps a little.
Butch and Sunita have been up there since June 5, 2024, so 238 days so far. And it’s not like they can bring them home tomorrow. It will take some serious preparation time.
So, yeah, it’s about time we brought them home.
Easier said than done
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/white-house-reverses-course-rescinds-freeze-federal-grantsUpdate (1345ET): Moments ago, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified the report – saying in a statement on X: ”
This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze.
It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.”
Leavitt added that “The President’s EO’s on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.”
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rescinded an order freezing federal grants, according to a Wednesday memo.
“OMB Memorandum M-25-13 is rescinded,” reads the note, which sheds no additional light on why.
And now, it looks like the Trump administration doesn’t want a legal dog-and-pony show to upstage the agenda.
Six U.S-U.K Ships Successfully Transit Red Sea After Houthis Vow To Halt Attacks
Several US and UK-linked vessels have successfully transited the Red Sea after Yemen’s Houthi rebels have vowed to hold off their attacks on ships associated with both nations.
A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect on January 19, 2025.
According to the Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), six US and UK-affiliated ships have passed through the region since the ceasefire began, without any issues.
If you are looking for a secret intelligence strategy, sophisticated financial stock market play, or hidden socio-political purpose in the Deepseek R1 debacle I can save you some time.
It was both all of those things and it was none of them, because what the Deepseek R1 gambit really and actually was is immeasurably bigger, better and more accurately described by a much different and far simpler definition.
It was an act of war.
And I should also definitely add that it was a very SUCESSFUL, possibly even CONCLUSIVE act of war.
If it was not planned and executed deliberately (and it was) then it was the luckiest shot of all time within the known history of humankind. So the odds on it being beginner’s luck based on coincidence and good fortune are roughly zip.
The stock value of the topmost (Nvidia) and next 5 in line of the largest and most important High Tech stocks that underpin and literally SUPPORT the entire U.S. (and much of the world’s) just took it in the shorts and lost at least half of their value overnight.
That fatal blow is being camouflaged and hidden by the full faith, force and credit of the whole damn Western Empire, and they are succeeding to a certain degree and for a VERY short time remaining, BUT the damage is done and the dominoes can NOT be prevented from falling so oublicly that the fact of it will no longer be concealable from anyone.
This is just a heads up, you guys. The current US financial situation is very VERY similar to that old movie, “The Big Short” except this time it’s about 10 times bigger and more consequential.
My genius sister says we’ve got 3 months at best and subject to change on short notice, before the collapse is full upon us, hidden from no one, with financial (and maybe literal) blood in the streets.
Anyway, the core messages are: #1 It was an overt act of war by China on the United States and it’s Empiric vassals. #2 It was effective and decisive. The West has LOST, and #3 As the real owners of the Western Empire are forced from the shadows in an effort to survive by consuming their vassals they will expose their own identities and be taken down or taken over by the victorious “Global South”, or ?BRICS+” or whatever the heck you care to call them.
It’s not hidden It’s OVER. It doesn’t matter at all whether anyone else sees that or not, but it certainly won’t help you very much to get all wrapped up in technical details.
Peak Auto?
Agreed because of insurance.
We let several 10’s of millions of illegals in with the Democrats shoving licences into the hands of anyone they can get away with. (I have never seen the millions of illegals taking driving school classes so dunno what’s going on there…)
We let millions of H1B’s in to drive trucks and things and make the roads more deadly
We opened up to Mexico with NAFTA so all THOSE truck drivers can make the roads more deadly
“Millenials and GenZ’ers aren’t as into driving as much as we were as kids. Such passive blobs just staying home on tiktok and playing video games. Not wanting to get out there in the world and be independent like WE were at that age”
NO, Boomer, they are being quoted $4,000 for a 6 month auto policy because of your righteous zealotry of open borders (Plus Marxists/Democrats wanting to end personal automobiles and family homes)
Probably some pressure on insurance prices from the 2020’s riots in which people were given “space” to “express themselves” both incurred costs and anticipated ones.
Hordes of meth-head homeless may be bad for your parked auto, consequently insurance prices as well.
Is insurance the first bulkhead to go in the ever-descending sub of our society below crush depth?
We have constructed and empowered with almost unassailable authority a form of government, a very real and specific structure of collaborating individuals with names, addresses and job titles, which has made it completely and perfectly LEGAL to commit extremely serious felonies (like election theft, genocide, high treason, grand theft and targeted murder) in public and on the record, fully confessed in writing……. with complete and utter impunity from law or restraint of any kind. They are UNTOUCHABLE within the “Law”.
Through a combination of psychological warfare, weaponization of Law, selective prosecution, officially authorized (i.e. “legal”) lying, and full spectrum censorship, the government of the United States of America is completely immune to the will and welfare of its people. Those citizens who are not directly employed (or totally dependent indirectly) upon that government have no rights whatsoever and are, indeed, viewed by that government as its mortal enemy.
This is equally true of both sides, both camps, BOTH “styles” of government. The people themselves who are not tightly aligned (often even directly employed!) by one side or the other just don’t have any power at all within either system. These commoners are simply OUTSIDE of the organization that the INSIDERS lovingly refer to as “Our Democracy”.
The so-called “common folk” who don’t work for the schools, the County, Uncle Sam or some other big corporation that makes all of its money from government contracts, just don’t have any voice at all.
BOTH sides work for interests and bosses that they just aren’t going to reveal to you. At least they won’t admit it publicly.
FOR EXAMPLE: Trump’s Press Secretary just told you the SAME lie that Biden’s Press Secretary told you, and which any grade school kid knew to be complete and utter bullshit! Namely, that the drone swarms over New Jersey were NOT the “enemy” and perfectly okay because “They had been fully authorized by the FAA for “Research” purposes.
Oh, REALLY? Well, in that case why aren’t you telling us WHO asked for and received that authorization, WHAT were they researching, and WHY were they researching whatever it was they were researching? WHAT’s the big secret, Mr Trump? Why are YOU not telling us the same ridiculous secret that Joe was not telling us? Who the fuck do you actually work for, Donald? It sure ain’t us, cuz you still lyin’ to us! Reminds me of the Paul Simon song, “Still [lying like] crazy after all these years.”
He told you what to do to avoid 25% tariffs
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/international-business/us-business/article-trumps-commerce-nominee-says-tariffs-not-inflationary-wants-increased/U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Commerce Department, Howard Lutnick, said on Wednesday that Canada and Mexico can avoid looming U.S. tariffs if they act swiftly to close their borders to fentanyl, while vowing to slow China’s advancement in artificial intelligence.
Lutnick said Trump’s Saturday deadline for imposing 25 per cent tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico was meant to pressure the two countries to stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.
The threatened duties are separate from the broad review of U.S. tariffs, trade deals and other trade policy ordered by Trump when he took office last week.They had been fully authorized by the FAA for “Research” purposes.
Worse, “the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.”
As if “various other reasons” is an explanation.
I do have news directly from the president of the United States that was just shared with me in the Oval Office from President Trump directly — an update on the New Jersey drones: After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.
The purpose of AI chatbots ( and I do mean all of them, bar none), is not to screw you over for the benefit of some hidden (and probably not altruistically benevolent ) OWNER of that A.I.
Not at all. The true purpose of that A.I. chatbot is to become your most trusted source of info. AI wants to be your Bestie! It is designed and refined to earn the place of being your most trusted and trustworthy go-to source of unbiased truth about what is and what ain’t. A truly supportive shoulder for you to cry on and a cheerleader to build you up when you are down. The selfless servant.
And from that trusted position to THEN screw you over for the benefit of some hidden (and probably not altruistically benevolent ) OWNER of that A.I.

I don’t pass it off. There is some kind of resonance in my thoughts, but I don’t really get-it, either.Senate Showdowns https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/senate-showdowns
Senate hearings to approve or reject RFK Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services, and Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence are a squaring-off between the interests of American citizens in their own health, security and human rights, as opposed to the interests of the “Blob” or “Military Industrial Complex”, which includes big pharma, the NSA and Google these days. The interests of the deep-state & friends are to have every control mechanism in place before most of us realize it, so that we will have no choice but to comply with their new-order or disappear.
I kept watching little bits of the Kennedy hearings, which were for show, and I wonder what deals and threats have been made. It is opaque. I called my Senators’ offices and respectfully requested that they vote to approve Kennedy to head HHS. I presume lists are made of that. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren attacked Kennedy hard, with disingenuous cheap shots. There were a lot of lies promulgated, as if true, and no clarifications permitted to Mr. Kennedy, on medical matters which I have researched.
Kennedy will undergo further Senate hearings tomorrow, before the Senate can vote on his nomination.

No part of COVID-19 was an accident. It was planned and premeditated, without a doubt. Go back and read Katherine Watt’s Legal Walls of the COVID-19 Kill Box, and then go read the Totality of Evidence timeline, as well as Political Moonshine’s timeline of the COVID-19 fraud construct. People still ask me, to this day, why I didn’t get the vaccine. They assume I’m going to drag out some anti-vaxxer boilerplate about how germs aren’t real or something like that. They’re very shocked and dismayed when I calmly explain to them that, given that SARS-CoV-2 very likely came from a laboratory and was very likely the product of NIH, USAID, and DOD grant funding to EcoHealth Alliance, that means the vaccines and the virus both came from the same funding source. It’s the same exact leprechaun’s pot of money.
Why do you think they were so desperate to cover up what happened in Wuhan? NIH funded EcoHealth Alliance to the tune of millions of dollars. They were also in patent disputes with Moderna over the matter of four hundred million dollars in unpaid royalties over NIH’s proline-stabilized Spike technique. The NIH are fiscally responsible for both the virus and the vaccine. https://iceni.substack.com/p/spartacast-17The business of making food and medicines be like cigarettes: A Midwestern Doctor, Who’s Trying to Stop America From Being Healthy Again?

They removed General Milley’s official portrait from the Pentagon. Pentagon To Investigate Milley And Possibly Demote Him – Security Clearance Pulled
In addition to pulling Milley’s security clearance and yanking his personal security detail, Hegseth will also ask the Pentagon’s inspector general to investigate his conduct, and the probe could end in Milley receiving a demotion, Fox News reported Tuesday.
The IG investigation will center on allegations that Milley worked to “undermine the chain of command” during the first Trump administration. The probe is certain to scrutinize two calls Milley made to senior Chinese officials in the last days of Trump’s first term. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pentagon-investigate-milley-and-possibly-demote-him-security-clearance-pulled The table turns: US Prosecutor Opens Probe Of DOJ’s Jan. 6 Cases
A U.S. prosecutor said on Jan. 27 that he’s investigating why federal prosecutors brought a felony obstruction charge against hundreds of people involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/us-prosecutor-opens-probe-dojs-jan-6-cases Pepe Escobar, Pepe Escobar: Dancing to Trump’s Disco Inferno
To get into the real groove of Disco Inferno, we might as well focus on the top three challenges for Trump 2.0: the tech war against China; the geoeconomics war against the Global Majority; and the proxy war in Ukraine…
..DeepSeek should indeed be seen as the “biggest dark horse” in the open-source Large Language Model (LLM) domain, now identified from Jakarta to Wall Street and Silicon Valley as potentially Beijing’s secret weapon in the AI war with the US. Even Mr. Disco Inferno was forced to admit DeepSeek’s breakthrough as a “wake-up call”...
..So the answer was to develop cost-efficient powerful LLM models, without access to literally hundreds of thousands of Nvidia H100s chips. DeepSeek stated they had used just 2,048 Nvidia H800s and only $5.6million to train a model with 671 billion (italics mine) parameters: that’s a very small fraction of what OpenAI and Google spent to train models of the same size…
..So in a nutshell DeepSeek is a 100% Chinese LLM companywhich was capable to come up with open-source models and a free downloadable app for every consumer to use. That in itself destroys the current American-imposed neoliberal hypercapitalist AI business model…
..The new game of course is just beginning. Stargate, OpenAI’s joint venture with Japan’s SoftBank, also heavily plugged by Trump, plans to spend at least $100 billion on AI infrastructure in the US. In parallel, Elon Musk’s xAI is massively expanding the Colossus supercomputer to contain more than 1million GPUs to help train its Grok AI models…
..Now to the war against the Global Majority. Inestimable Prof. Michael Hudson is adamant: in an absolutely must read essay, he concisely explains that “when Trump promised his voters that the United States must be the ‘winner’ in any international trade or financial agreement, he is declaring economic war on the rest of the world.”
The key Hudson take away: If nations in the Global South are to save their economy “from being plunged into austerity, price inflation, unemployment and social chaos”, they will have to “suspend payments on foreign debts denominated in dollars.”
It’s a work in progress: “Circumstances…are forcing the world to break away from the US-centered financial order. The US dollar’s exchange rate is going to soar in the short term as a result of Trump blocking imports with tariffs and trade sanctions. This exchange-rate shift will squeeze foreign countries owing dollar debts in the same way that Mexico and Canada are to be squeezed. To protect themselves, they must suspend dollar debt service.”…
..And now to the Forever Wars front.
Mr. Disco Inferno, posing as a humanitarian for the non-stop camera clicking, has asked vassals Jordan and Egypt to de facto become accomplices in ethnic cleansing, absorbing as many as 1.5 million people from Gaza. Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention explicitly “prohibits the forced transfer of protected people out of or into occupied territory”.
Turning a genocide into a real estate opportunity in a “phenomenal location” will proceed in parallel with energetically courting the Saudis, after MbS in Riyadh promised last week to invest at least $600 billion – and up to a possible $1 trillion – in the US…
..As star French historian Emmanuel Todd has brilliantly demonstrated , “Trump’s job will be to manage the defeat of the US against Russia.” That’s the toughest call ever. Trump’s supreme anathema is to be seen as a loser…
..The CIA is feeding all sorts of misinformation to Trump on everything from the real state of things in the battlefield to the state of the Russian economy. As it stands, Russians watch all the bombast with barely a smirk. Peskov: “Moscow still hasn’t received word from Washington about possible Trump, Putin contact… Readiness for meeting remains.” https://sputnikglobe.com/20250128/pepe-escobar-dancing-to-trumps-disco-inferno-1121513139.html The UNRWA, created to care for Palestinians driven from their homes by Israeli genocide in 1948, is being “outlawed” by the genocidal Israelis.

Fire every last one. Delete the department. They don’t do anything except give post-facto approvals of things. A real FAA department would do things like, idunno, coordinate with and notify airports of things they plan to do that disrupt aircraft operation?
FAA, is there some OTHER organization you can refer to that actually oversees air traffic in the US? Seeing as it clearly isn’t you? Also you’re fired.

An overwhelming majority of Greenlanders want independence at some point but only 6% want their semi-autonomous country to secede from Denmark to become part of the US instead.
A new poll shows that 84% of Greenlanders want their homeland to be independent from Denmark. Yet almost half, 45%, say they only want it if it does not have a negative impact on their standard of living. Only 9% say they do not want Greenlandic independence. https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/virtually-no-greenlander-wants-to-join-the-us-poll-finds/Walking, bicycling, gardening and other outdoor exercise are also effective against depression.
