  • You are 100% right. Trump’s actions not only harm Europe and the rest of the world, he’s harming the U.S. even more, and his actions will directly lead to economic collapse of the U.S., a worldwide depression, and WWIII. Unfortunately, Trump and his supporters currently have a lock not only on all 3 branches of government, but also are developing a stranglehold on traditional media and social media via oligarchs looking to expand their control by allying with Trump’s fascist regime. Sadly, it seems like far too few in the U.S. understand the alarming changes being made and the grave risks. The U.S. is fast becoming a rogue state, and possesses the most powerful military the world has seen so far. We certainly are living in interesting times.



  • Humans evolved consuming a high fiber diet, but the standard American diet of highly processed foods has little fiber. Fiber is extremely beneficial, and feeds the gut microbiome, with which we have a symbiotic relationship and which helps us make things like serotonin. Consuming a whole foods diet, boosting fiber intake with things like psyllium husk and inulin, and regularly consuming fermented foods will help maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Microbiome disbiosis is one of the hallmarks of aging, and can have a huge negative impact on your health.







  • I think the problem is that there isn’t enough clarity with respect to the fact that NATO countries are already at war with Russia, but it hasn’t been openly declared out of fear of escalation. Just as with the appeasement of Germany in the run-up to WWII, wishful thinking and the understandable desire to avoid the horrors and disruption of all-out war have weakened the response to Russian aggression, emboldening Putin. In my opinion, Denmark and other NATO countries that have been subjected to covert Russian attacks should invoke Article 5, and stop burying their heads in the sand thinking this will just go away. I know there is valid concern that the U.S. will bail on NATO, but it is what it is, and I think it’s better to seek clarity than to just hope it works out.


  • I’m working on my exit strategy as well. While I agree that things in the U.S. are going to get much worse, everything is cyclical and there will be a time in the distant future when the U.S. gets its shit together again. The sad irony is that all of this is self-inflicted. None of this had to happen. All of the suffering so far, and the mass suffering that is going to occur as a consequence of a world superpower going rogue and then collapsing could have been avoided.

    I’m a GenXer, and I feel fortunate to have been born and lived during what is now looking like “peak America”. I’ve known nothing but peace and prosperity. Sure, there have been “wars” and “recessions” in my lifetime, but they have been relatively minor and not had a major impact on my life. The changes being wrought now by corrupt leadership supported by ignorant and malevolent people are destroying the very foundations of what made the U.S. great, and will inevitably result in the collapse of the greatest superpower the planet has seen so far. It’s heartbreaking.


  • No shit he’s not “ruling out war”, as he’s clearly and unambiguously teeing it up. He’s been itching to flex military power, and he undoubtedly will use the “victory” over a “foe” to try to rally his base, who are racist, blood-thirsty rednecks. It will also provide a nice distraction from the Epstein files. Trump has everything to gain (and the U.S. has a lot to lose) by attacking Venezuela, so we can rest assured that the attack is coming. The only thing that would prevent it is if there were a military coup that ousted Maduro before Trump launched the attack.
