This is good news.

I wouldn’t count on anything changing though until the aircraft carriers leave the Middle East and the thousands of troops which have been sent over are brought back. Even if that happens,

  1. When one takes another look at how the “entity” known as America is moving through the world, it is advisable to ask a few questions that are usually reserved for so-called libertarians:

    Should an artificial construct called the state be run and controlled by a handful of idiots to the detriment of all its inhabitants?

    What should, what could a future concept for humanity look like? According to all biological laws, it can, of course, only be a racial concept that functions in a completely different way than today’s states and “nations.”

  2. >>> US oil prices crash to $81/barrel, now at their lowest

    I’d sure like to see who shorted oil prior to this announcement .

    • . . . ah, but you already know the answer to that riddle, don’t you?

      But, but, but; when will the insider trading charges be brought against these low-lifes?

      Just kidding, just kidding.

  3. The Orange Con doesn’t even have the common courtesy to tip the TrumpTards off about what he’s going to do with regards to Iran so that they can front-run stawnks and commodities and make hundreds of millions of $ like Donny and his ((inner circle)) are making off of all of this stupidity.

    • It isn’t market manipulation if everyone knows about it.
      That would take all the fun and profit out of it.

    • Why the hell would he do something like that? A lot of this yo-yo BS is for the benefit of the laughably named “free-market” – a totally rigged casino for the Cheeto Jeeezus and his Satanist donors. That would cause their money-machine some hiccups. It would lead faster to a 1929 scenario where shoe-shine boys are handing out stonk-tips. TrumpTards can just buy some more gold-colors sneakers to support their version of Kim Il Sung.

  4. Right then, I came up with a world-first: I wrapped a cold pack around my charging (way too hot!) e-cigarette. The charging time increased by at least five times. I googled it but couldn’t find anything like it; apparently, humanity is so dumb that no one has thought of this on their own yet. I strongly suspect that things work exactly the same way in politics.

  5. Here’s living proof of my theory that overheated things just need to cool down so they’ll go smoothly. (I’m going to listen to more American music in the future.) Would you rather be “cool” or “hot”?

    • The same reason hi-spec computers are water cooled, ultra-spec are cooled with liquid nitrogen.

      You can do the same with a refrigerator, put an always on fan blowing on the compressor.

    • That’s the reason quality and expensive equipment have thermal cutoff switches. When temps exceed a set point, the switch cuts power to the device. Really critical equipment have auxiliary blowers to bring temps down. Your just use to dealing with consumer grade devices, too cheap to build safety cutoffs or regulators.

      Look at all the peltier devices for cooling cpus, gpus, tpus.

  6. The solution to the problem is obvious: Americans speak the wrong language, one that enables them to consume but not to think for themselves. For entirely altruistic reasons, German can be recommended here as the standard for orderly, rational, logical, deeply grounded, and prudent global action that takes causes and consequences into account!

    • Schopenhauer judged the ancient vedic as the best language, having greater depth and breath in concepts and attributes than all the modern languages combined. In philosophical concepts having several that aren’t in any modern languages.

  7. We won’t have real, lasting peace on terms beneficial to America until we free our foreign policy from Israeli and Saudi influence.

  8. Our Greatest Ally is in the driver’s seat here. They have made it plain repeatedly that their demand: not recommendation, not suggestion, certainly not a request is, amongst other things, that every ounce of enriched uranium be removed from Iran’s control. Any pause, truce, interregnum etc. is merely a tactic until the war is resumed and this and other goals achieved. The U.S. is not “Agreement Capable” (as Sergey Lavrov said) and therefore not able to make a trustworthy peace agreement with Iran. The notorious scumbags in Congress and the White House, operating in fear of the Wrath of the Ghost of Epstein understand this completely.

    None of the ruling class wants to face the Wrath of the Ghost of Epstein with all of its criminal tentacles throughout the U.S. Government and other institutions exposed. All of that blackmail wasn’t collected over years by Our Greatest Ally for nothing. Isn’t it amazing how the Epstein saga just disappeared once this war started? As the Village Idiot of Texas, GWB II would say: Mission Accomplished!

    • > Isn’t it amazing how the Epstein saga just disappeared once this war started? As the Village Idiot of Texas, GWB II would say: Mission Accomplished!

      Like a miracle – nobody’s been talking about it! And just in time, Bondi is replaced by one of Epstein’s crew to finish disappearing all the evidence. I don’t know of Brad coined the phrase, but Operation Epstein Fury sums it up perfectly. It must sound like crickets on a steamy Alabama evening up in Sodom-on-Potomac, Jerusalem, NYC rat-tunnels and other places where the usual suspects hang-out. So many hands rubbing so fast!

  9. The reason why the Jewish population—supposedly only 3 percent—has, so to speak, grafted itself onto the great American nation is the naivety, carelessness, and lack of racial awareness among Americans. Now they are being mercilessly plundered, because from the very beginning, the Jews have given a shit (in their language, chutzpah) about the “humanity” of their host countries.

    • the Jews have given a shit (in their language, chutzpah) about the “humanity” of their host countries.

      I think you missed a ‘not’.

    • lack of racial awareness among Americans.

      Since WW2, prior to that Americans were very racially aware, segregation, sundown laws, prohibitions on blacks living in certain states, no jwz in certain communities.

      We’ve lost our wits.

  10. So The “Epstein Strait” of all the evidence is now open as well? All those documents will be able to flow freely out so the whole world can see the whole Truth? You would think.

    This unnecessary war to take the public’s attention off Epstein files — Epstein Fury –cost this nation more that any could ever imagined.

    May God Save the South!

    • Yep, dealing with jwz always leads to compound problems, one after another. the sequence just grows and the problems start interbreeding with each other. Like race mixing, then crime, then poor schools, then industry leaves, then tax base collapses, then public services fail and the cycle returns to feed on itself.

  11. Trump won, Panicans lost. But actually, Panicans lost so bad and went so mental they aren’t Panicans anymore, the are Demoncrats. Yep, America’s short war revealed a substantial part of Western societies have become possessed by TDS and become permanently disfigured democratic. We will try to remember them, and people like them, like dear old Hunter has he once was before he became a one eyed, one hornee, purple flying Trump hater.

    One of the shortest wars revealed that TDS is a dangerous contagion. Essentially, people already weakened by bad living thru pacifism, libertarianism, isolationism, soft on immigrationism, etc etc are high risk individuals and open to contagion. Putting constant drumbeat of those activities on their hearts just weakened their immune system more and more. When the Demoncrats screamed from the rooftops TDS, these weakened individuals succumbed to the powerful illness behind TDS.

    We lost a lot of people to TDS over the last few weeks. The destruction of Sand N@ggers and their nuclear weapons facilities, armed terror boats, ballistic missiles, Shaheedi drones, etc etc sent many people over the edge. The rescue of American pilots by combined arms teams of special forces in epic cinematic scenes complete with Oscar worthy film scores caused many to completely lose their minds to TDS. Listening to Mark Kevin play the national anthem every night on air as they did opposition research for James Carville or Hunter Wallace was just too much for many, and their TDS induced anger transformed them into Demoncrats instantly.

    Wars, conflicts, battle, engagements, firefights, etc against Sand N@ggers will happen again. We’ve been fighting them for 1,400 years now after all. The wars with Sand N@ggers won’t end until literally every single Sand N@gger is dead. It will take generations to drive them into the caves and desolate places where slowly we can hunt them down to oblivion. In the meantime, Panicans, and former Panicans now half-Demoncrats like Hunter Wallace can be counted on to scream “Forever War!” the second we have to fight them, rescue our women folk from them, and push the savages away. So, Panicans will panic and become infected by TDS and start working for the Same N@ggers. TDS is a dangerous contagion. We lost far more people to it the last several weeks than all previous periods combined. Let us bow our heads and remember them, people like Hunter, as they once were, not the the monstrous Demoncrats they became later.

    P.S. It’s entirely possible the Sand N@ggers will just wake up one day and decide to close down the Straights again and launch ballistic missiles this time at Hunters Fishing Hole. So be prepared.

    • @Aryan Globalist Bro:

      Your command of English is so good that I forget that you are NOT some good ole boy who has lived in the South for many generations even though I find your Grand Dragon Klan persona (who the hell says sand n@ggers anymore?) amusing at times. But there are ALWAYS TELLS and you just betrayed one.

      Bibi and his Boyz obviously forgot that, even though he took the country to a quick, decisive victory in Operation Desert Storm, President George Herbert Walker Bush lost the election (after losing twenty percent of Republican voters to H. Ross Perot) after breaking his famous “no new taxes” pledge.

      Nothing pisses off those who voted for him when a politician breaks that promise right out of the gate. So please inform your good friend Bibi and his BOYZ to study up on American history.

      Trump had his finger on the pulse of the American people as well as his hardcore base to know that they were sick and tired of putting out blood and treasure for all these wars for Israel – which is why, in his drive to regain office, he made such a promise, but he shouldn’t have run himself and Vance as the Peace Candidates when anyone with two working brain cells should have known that promise would have to be broken.

      Another unforced error was making a fuss about those Epstein Files. However, I believe that any leaks that would force Trump’s hand on Iran would dribble out anyway.
      Why Trump went with transparency on Epstein and making a promise he either had no intentions of keeping or knew he could never keep is beyond me.

      There is an old saying that it is better to keep your mouth shut and have people suspect you’re an idiot than open it and remove all doubt. The Biden Administration’s open borders and treacherous behavior for yen from China gave Trump ample ammunition to win the White House. All he had to do was promise to finish That Big Beautiful Wall and That Big Beautiful Pipeline, end all visas to dot Indians, issue draconian fines to landlords and employers of illegal aliens and the only “TDS” in evidence would be on the Left and with the RINO Republicans.

      Really, the ONLY good that came out of Trump’s stupidity is that it is finally forcing that long overdue conversation this country needs to have about the inordinate influence our Jewish friends have in this country. Don’t blame any “Trump Derangement Syndrome” on any “Antisemites” at boards like these; blame it on Little Donny’s Mesopotamian Misadventure as a result of breaking his campaign promise.

      Like, DUH!

      • @Clytemnestra,

        No one really cares about the things you mentioned except for highly invested politicos. Like, no one really cares about Iran, such that, but for oil price shock, they mostly could care less what happened, only caring when it went spectacularly good or terribly wrong and then only momentarily. I care you care, Hunter cares, because we are Americans or at lesst half Americans, and the other half Nordic. But we are a minority now and reaching the point of non entity status in power. Once that happens, America will also become less relevant. It will just be a low IQ almost third world piece of crap but armed with nukes and a large consumer market. So, in the end, I am okay taking down as many other shiite hole places as possible, including Sand N@gger Iran.

        What you can’t seem to get thru your head is America that you knew, the place where even though it was a minority it was still a substantially strong minority cared about these things. It was an America filled with such people that could and did often get the rest of the country to care over a period of time about importsnt things, because it was full of actual Americans, e.g. British and Nordic Americans. Well that county is basically dead. Over 1/3 of the people not only originate in the third world in the country don’t have any origin with America before Ronald Reagan. Let that sink in, RONALD REAGAN. Vietnam is something they joke about as an old White people thing, if they speak about it all. WWWII? Might as well talk about a war on another galaxy that happened eons ago.

        Those people, together with N@ggers and their pathology of child abuse, broken homes, narcissism, psychopathy, sociopathy, domestic violence, social violence etc make most of the country. In other words the country is made up of post Reagan foreigners from third world shiite holes, the N@ggers, and low info White trash. The later are no different than most of the commentators here except the commentators here are more aware of Jews and actually care about something other than football or music or drugs. Sadly, all they care about Jews as in its their obsession with them, goes to prove all the early 20th century American social commentators were right. Namely that the Ellis Island Rif Raf had deep psychological and mental issues. Now, when you go to the North East, if you see a White person it’s someone descended that mentally handicapped and pathological ethnic Rig Raf. So not much better than the rest of the low info group e.g. the Jungle D@gos, the Jungle N@ggers, the Sand N@ggers, the Sp!cs, etc etc. That’s America today, now and forever.

        What this means is once this current clique of leaders passes in the next 10 years, the momentum of demographic pushed power which was behind it, e.g. Colonial British Americans, Nordic Americans, etc etc will recede and go into reverse resulting in none of this mattering anyways. Iran, Israel, Jews, China, Free Trade, Constitutionalism, etc etc all will be arcane subjects to a helot population descended from bean and cotton pickers and their oversears. America will just be a nuclear armed ghetto filled shiitehole Brazil. Such a country will be forced over time to retreat from global posture, turning inwardly. That country dominated by the helots won’t turn inwardly to discuss Hunter’s Dixie Constitutionalism, no, it will turn towards how to develop his fishing hole into Tiney homes for Mexicans, mixed with cheap strip malls for taco shops.

        In the end, imagine in the near future Hunter will go out to demonstrate at the development of his fishing hole. But he will be like the only White guy there. Everyone else there will be taco eating, Halal observing, watermelon eating Mexicans, Moslems, and Blacks. Everyone will laugh at him saying in English pigeon something about just die already as they throw a tamale at him. Meanwhile his daughter will run up to protect her dad and yell back in broken Spanish telling them to shut up as her husband JUAN tries to go and tell them what they are doing is disrespectful. Then the bulldozers will come and the picnic will be over, and they will haul Hunter away. That’s how this ends now. So, yeah, if we can take down some Sand N@ggers in the meantime, we are going to do it. We are doing it for that future Hunter, so they don’t entirely forget.

  12. These antisocial creatures are sullying your honor and your name, and turning you into the enemy of the whole world! Is that what you want? How much longer will you put up with this plague and scourge? When will you finally act like men and stand up? Your “German moment” has finally arrived!

    • ” . . . When will you finally act like men and stand up?”

      Heinz, Heinz, you know the answer. When the USD goes bad either through hyperinflation or the U.S. Government simply repudiates its debt to foreign debt holders thereby wrecking the existing financial order. As I write this $100 USD will buy slightly more than 25 gallons of gasoline, 14-15 Lbs. of beef, about 24 Lbs. of chicken, car repairs, building materials, clothing, airline tickets etc. This situation also pertains overseas in S. America, the Caribbean etc. where the USD, in spite of its weaknesses is still king.

      When this situation ends, and only then, will revolutionary change take effect. The U.S. is a wildly optimistic country, fundamentally. The prevailing thought is “they” won’t let it get that bad, “they” will fix things quickly, something will turn up, back to “normal” soon. When those foolish thoughts are finally extinguished people will be enraged but probably at each other instead of the ruling class responsible for the misfortunes.

  13. Also, we aren’t bringing our troops home so they can be demobilized, carriers turned into scrap metal to be sold to China, and Hunter can proclaim “PEACE DIVIDEND” and go fishing and grilling. Instead Hunter will every night have to go to sleep to Mark Kevin playing the national anthem at midnight knowing our carriers and brave patriots are somewhere out there defending the rest of us from Hunter’s paymasters in the Middle East thereby making him mad every night. It’s like Hunter is some sort of complex Grinch like creature getting angry at all the Whoosvills enjoying the American imperial life brought by our boys doing what Hunter shouldve done decades ago but didn’t.

  14. In other news a 86 year old White French woman, has been deported from Anniston, AL. By ICE total MAGA victory got to keep those dirty immigrants out, except for black and Mexicans.

  15. As another crisis is failed to be exploited by the Occidental Democrats, another one is right here on the horizon. I’ve literally teed up the football for the kick for them: The Papacy.

    The dumb Prince of Rome and the President of the USA are trading arguments. Being a Papist is becoming a thing. It will soon eclipse being a Jew. Remember you heard it here first. Of course Occidental Dumbass will fail to exploit this crisis of opportunity.

    Why? Well because it’s controlled by Papists. It’s commentators if not third world mud people or Fake Kew Commies are Papists. Hunter is just the Shabbos Goy of Papists, aka Infideles Servus. This role is sometimes called a Acoltytus Episcopus once he’s taken the holy host of the dirty bishop into his mouth or at least the Bishops finger into his…..

    Free HUNTER from the Papists. FREE HUNTER WALLACE!

  16. Iran is contradicting everything Trump is saying. We would be better off without any president. I blame this on George Washington and the Constitutional Convention. They were only supposed to amend the Articles of Confederation, but they, in secret, designed a government with a king, although the Articles were supposed to be perpetual. The country went to hell from there. Of course, they had to perpetuate the lie that the US had a president and not a king, but he is indeed a king, and the worst kind: an elected king. The so-called “Anti-federalists” recognized this from the beginning and said so. I say “so-called” because they were the real Federalists. Trump is assuring the return of democrats, who should have been done for in 2017.

    • If their isn’t a thorough investigation and prosecution of whoever frontran these announcements we’ll have a cancerous distrust of our financial markets, participants will flee.

  17. It lasted a few hours, LOL. Zog never moved at all to lift the blockade of Iranian Ports.

    I believe that Trump was probably sincere in his Truth Social posts, but I firmly believe he is not in control of anything. Israel seems to be bypassing Trump now, working with CIA and Centcomm directly.

    • Trump is in control. If he wasn’t we would’ve mobilized our total armed forces reserves and sent draft registration papers to Hunter by now. Trump wants the blockade. Trump wants to bomb them. Trump just doesn’t want to make a big scene of it at home by national mobilization and seeing Hunter lose his shiite on OD. TV drama that is relatively painless in reality is okay though.

      It’s celebrity foreign policy, but it does kill. We are just trying to get Trump to kill more effectively and at scale. He’s resisting. Without Trump we would have a a couple hundred thousand troops there already, a large Iranian exile Army led by the Shah would be already inserting into Iran, Iran would be in shambles, and the ships would be leaving the straights already. But it isn’t cuz Trump has enough libertarian isolationism in him to keep us going to defcon 2 national mobilization and nuclear posture.

      You see, American nationalists like me are way more hardcore than Trump. We’d already have much of the country locked down in martial law by now. Newscum and Natter Pelosi would be in chains on some restored prison cell in the Presidio if not Alcatraz. Trump is a lightweight compared to us. Sand N@gger lovers and liberals like you are lucky to have him while I am not in a more senior position in the White House. Well done Demoncrats.

  18. All Trump’s announcements are market manipulation.

    Buy oil futures, “we’re going to end their civilization”.
    Short oil futures, “the straits are totally open now”.
    Rinse and repeat.

    *Meanwhile, the jwz behind the curtains are giggling and cashing in 1000s of millions.*

  19. All these globalists, anti-Panicans worried about every place in the world except their own home turf, take a look at this:

    National Drought Status Week of April 1, 2026 – April 7, 2026

    States and Territories Experiencing Severe (D2) to Exceptional (D4) Drought:
    Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming, U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands

    Come back, come back, come back to the “USA” already:

    Back in the … edit: “USA–the Yankee Empire”

    • I’ve always thought we should have a national canal system, for cheap bulk transportation and irrigation. Allowing freshwater to flow to the sea without ag use is a crime against sense.

      The ancient ceylonese said, “not a drop to the sea that hasn’t irrigated rice”

    • I read that story too and I can’t believe drought is that widespread. Travelling through some of those states it sure doesn’t look like a drought, at least not compared to droughts in the western states.

      • “Travelling through some of those states it sure doesn’t look like a drought, at least not compared to droughts in the western states.”

        The drought hit the South awhile ago. But the place is still so damn humid and gets rain, it isn’t parched yet like the West. All of this gets aggravated by population.

        The West’s and the South’s infrastructure is like completely unfit for purpose. The Colorado River and water system, a glorious structure of American engineering and planning, was built for 40 millions people when it served 20 million in 1960. Today it serves around 90 million and more.

        This is due to immigration. Without immigration, and considering Whites would’ve had more children, and internal migration would’ve continued, it would be only serving its peak planning level of 40 million right now. Wed still have a drought, but the effect of 50 million less people would be reduced the droughts effects on the environment. Urban heat sinks would be less, there would be more farming, and in general we would only now be having to make new plans. In today’s Immigration inflated over populated America, we are two generations behind planning to deal with the drought. When Multi racial leftwing dictatorship America takes in about 2 to 4 years, that will be hit. The West will collapse and all of its people will move Eastward into the South finally terminating the corpse that was America.

    • AI evaluation of drought conditions:

      Current Drought in Context

      Scientifically, the 2026 drought is indeed historically bad for early spring:

      – The first three months of 2026 (Jan–Mar) were the driest on record for the contiguous U.S., with record or near-record low precipitation.

      – March 2026 ranked as the third-driest month overall in U.S. history (behind only Dust Bowl peaks in July/August 1934), and the Palmer Drought Severity Index for March hit its most severe level for any March on record.

      – Over 60% of the Lower 48 is in moderate drought or worse right now, with extreme coverage in the Southeast (~97% in drought, ~82% severe or worse—the highest since the U.S. Drought Monitor began in 2000).

      – This is driven by persistent dry patterns since mid-2025, warm temperatures boosting evaporation, and low soil moisture/streamflows in many areas.

      It ranks among the worst early-year droughts in over a century for widespread coverage and intensity, though the 1930s Dust Bowl still holds records for the longest and most devastating multi-year event in terms of societal impact (massive dust storms, agricultural collapse, migration). Climate factors like ongoing warming make future droughts potentially more frequent and intense in regions like the Southwest…

      • Yes, now imagine as that happens, concurrently the new Democrat government amensties 50,000,000 illegal aliens and increases immigration to 2,500,000 per year. It will crush what remains of the water infrastructure of the US.

        Now combine that overpopulated third world hell scape future with the destruction of the Petro dollar because Hunter got his way and the US abandoned the Middle East. The dollar is now worthless and you cant buy enough food, which is already expensive and less in quantity because of the drought. Imagine price controls and rationing but because third Worlders will third worlder, no one really listens. Instead there is mass black market activity so Jungle N@ggee rapper gets his food for his n@gglets using narcotic and gang money, Hispanics get food from the government and NGOs because they were oppressed, and Hunter gets no privileges because he is White. He just gets to stand in line for a loaf of bread for his starving children. But hey, at least while in line he will smoke when he sees on TV, Trump being brought on chains before the ICC. That’s the future we get because you all wanted to just own the Jews forever. Good job jerks!

        • Actually, this severe drought might cause mass self deportations. It might do what the failed Trump policies couldn’t do — get all the illegals out (but also a lot of descendants from the original settlers will leave as well).

          But if this really IS the beginning of the final multi-year severe drought that some believe will lead to the destruction of the Yankee Empire, then we are doomed. We will be weakened by the drought and a German-led coalition of nations will finally in the end nuke our brains out and the survivors (maybe a third of the nation) will be carried off of this radioactive ash of a wasteland and made slaves. So this king of “regime-changing” finally has to eat his own cooking for once.

          From the South’s perspective, it couldn’t come sooner. We have been held captive for over 160 years now. Maybe God might spare the South since we were the first victim of this “regime-changing” monster and God knows what evil this Great Satan has done to us.

          The consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.
          — General Robert E. Lee, in reply letter to Lord Acton, 12-15-1866.

          But the South overall is not the same South that produced men like Davis, Lee and Jackson so we may also be nuked and taken captive with the rest and have to serve foreign nations since many Southerners have served in the Yankee Empire’s military forces in conquering other nations and making them our “puppets”. May God have mercy on the South.

          May God Save the South!

    • Certain folks – the usual suspects – have been using this as a great opportunity to burn whole sections of Nebraska and other places in the plains. You know, the corporations (domestic and foreign) who are allowed to buy up vast tracts of land. Talk is they want that land (sitting atop the Ogalala aquifer) for their massive data centers to run the Panopticon under development by Trump’s donors.

      Remember the Maui inferno? Looks like Zuckerberg got himself a nice Hawaiian setup out of the ashes there – for cheap.
