Gonna cost me even more

And a million years away
But I serve up every morning
To the mem' of yesterday

Lookin' for a silver lining
Searchin' for a sign
If we're gonna make it, make it quick
Because we're runnin' out of time, yeah

@#1 ... The social video platform company signed agreements with major investors, including Oracle ...

Oracle, a.k.a the Ellison family ...

As Ellison buys out TikTok, U.S. moves toward one-Party media (September 2025)
mronline.org

... Larry Ellison, founder of the software firm Oracle, is the second-richest billionaire in both the U.S. and the world, and for a brief moment was No. 1 in the world (AP, 9/11/25). But for a long time, unlike many of his peers, he was unable to boast that he controlled a chunk of the news and opinion reaching the American public.

On Forbes US list, he is sandwiched between Elon Musk, No. 1, who bought the social media network Twitter and rebranded it as X, and Mark Zuckerberg, who runs Meta, which operates Facebook and Instagram. Jeff Bezos, at No. 4, has the Washington Post. Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google, Nos. 5 and 6, operate the leading search engine as well as one of the most important news aggregators, Google News. Michael Bloomberg, at No. 13, the former New York City mayor, has Bloomberg and its various outlets.

Ellison seems to have joined the club, as TikTok, under U.S. government coercion (FAIR.org, 1/23/25), is selling 80% of its U.S. operations to an investor consortium that includes Oracle, along with investment firms Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz (Reuters, 9/16/25).

Ellison is a big Trumper, joining in the reactionary denial of the 2020 presidential elections (Washington Post, 5/20/22). Like some of the others in the deal, he is part of the inner circle of Trump's favorite corporate ideologues. This TikTok deal is not just about money. It's about control of the political narrative. ...

"One of the gunshots struck Good on the left forearm, causing soft tissue hemorrhage, and another entered her right breast without penetrating any major organs, according to the preliminary findings of the autopsy described by the lawyers.

Neither of those wounds were immediately life-threatening, the autopsy said.

A third bullet entered the left side of her head near the temple and exited on the right side of her head, the autopsy said.

Good also sustained a graze wound that was "consistent with a firearm injury, but with no penetration."

France seizes suspected Russian 'shadow fleet' oil tanker

Shadow fleet
en.wikipedia.org

... A shadow fleet, also referred to as a dark fleet, is a ship or group of such shadow ships, "...that uses concealing tactics to smuggle sanctioned goods".[1]:311 Shadow fleets are a direct response to international or unilateral economic sanctions. The term therefore more broadly refers to practices of sanction-busting in the maritime domain through the use of unregistered or fraudulent vessels. Goods commonly exported and imported include raw materials such as oil and iron, luxury goods, weapons and defense technologies, etc.

Shadow fleets use a wide range of techniques in a complex layer, aimed at obscuring their activities or keeping plausible deniability. Though those techniques are well documented and are similar across actors, they create enforcement problems for authorities due to lack of coordination, cooperation, or resources and political will. Moreover, shadow fleets operate in legal grey zones, often on the high seas beyond the jurisdiction of coastal states, making arrests and seizures difficult.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Russian shadow fleet smuggling Russian oil for export has drawn renewed attention. This has led to growing concerns about the geopolitical impacts of such fleets, their significance with regards to sanctions' enforcement and efficacy, and the safety and security risks they create. Indeed, as 'dark' vessels use deceptive practices and often constitute ageing vessels, they "present a serious threat to maritime security, safety and the marine environment".[1]:310

The International Maritime Organization signaled its desire to create new enforcement mechanisms against grey ships, signing a resolution in October 2023 that defined for the first time the term 'dark' ship. It noted that:

a fleet of between 300 and 600 tankers primarily comprised of older ships, including some not inspected recently, having substandard maintenance, unclear ownership and a severe lack of insurance, was currently operated as a 'dark fleet' or 'shadow fleet' to circumvent sanctions and high insurance costs.

Trump Invites Pope to Join 'Board of Peace'

4 min video (plus some music and quotes)
for Transcript click 'more'.

More like the, 'Bored of Peace'.

excerpt

"The hesitancy of so many countries to join the Board of Peace is apparently centered around the fact that Trump wants the Board of Peace to be involved in various conflicts all around the world. And many other countries see that as his way of destroying the United Nations.

Now, I know that some of you may be happy that the United
Nations might have to take a backseat to the Board of Peace, but it needs to be restated that Donald Trump is the chairman of the Board of Peace, and that is a lifetime position.

As chairman, he also holds incredible power over which nations or other leaders might sit on the executive board and what direction the board of peace might go.

The power that Trump would hold as chairman of the Board of Peace and the immense amount of money that might flow into its coffers is truly staggering.

I mentioned a moment ago that Trump never met Pope Leo, although he did, interestingly enough, meet Pope Leo's brother at the White House last year, < and that was because Pope Leo's brother is a big MAGA fan.

But while Trump never met Pope Leo, Trump did meet Pietro Perilene. That was back in May of 2017 when Trump visited Pope Francis.

At that time, Perilene was the Vatican Secretary of State, a position he still holds to this day. Perilene was also rather consiliatory toward Trump after Trump won reelection in 2024, saying,

"We wish him much wisdom because that is the main virtue of rulers according to the Bible."

He added that he hoped Trump could bring an element of day and pacification in the current conflicts that are bleeding the world. So, as far as Trump's invitation to Pope Leo to join the Board of Peace...

I'm wondering if that might actually end up being Pietro Perilene who joins the Board of Peace. And that's very interesting to me because going back a number of years ago, I always thought that Petro Perilene would be the next pope.

And that never quite worked out, or at least it hasn't worked out as of yet. But he still could have an outsized role in the Board of Peace. And if that
does indeed happen, I'll be looking to see if he becomes closer and friendlier with Donald Trump."

So, Lewzer is the chairman of this board forever, and gets to name his successor. And he holds the only controlling vote.

Who would want to be a part of this joke? The Charter doesn't even mention Gaza.

Other than that, yeah, if as a nation we aspire to walk back from being "Team America: World Police"

Why would you aspire to that?

The international world order as shepherded in by the United States at the end of World War Two. The eighty years have seen global prosperity the likes of which the world has never known, lifting literally billions of people from poverty.

Why do you want to walk back from that?

Explain your thinking here.

What future do you see that's better than that, when we stop calling the shots?

#149 | Posted by BellRinger

In fact, the reason that's wrong is:
You don't know what the word "tacit" means.

"Well, this surely didn't act as any kind of deterrent"
That's a shame.
Anyway, what happened after that?
Did you notice any of the ol' deterrence from Sleepy Joe, after silently approving the invasion while also telling Russia out loud there would be consequences if they attacked Ukraine?

From the sub-summary ...

... A Washington man who was accused of aiming a laser pointer at Marine One, the presidential helicopter, ,,,

OK, I'm going to say, any person aiming a laser pointer at an aircraftshould be appropriately prosecuted.

Laser Safety
www.faa.gov

... Laser pointers may seem like a toy, office tool, or game. Pointed to the sky, lasers are a serious threat. A laser can incapacitate pilots, putting thousands of passengers at risk every year. Pilots reported 12,840 laser strikes to the FAA in 2024.

Pointing a laser at an aircraft is a federal crime. U.S. law enforcement agencies and the Federal Aviation Administration may seek criminal and civil prosecution against violators.

People who shine lasers at aircraft face FAA fines of up to $32,646 per violation. The FAA issued $120,000 in fines for laser strikes in 2021. ...

The gun owner seemed to have acted in a rational manner, from what I read in the article.

I have no issue with people owning guns.

What I have an issue with is the GOP allowing, maybe even encouraging, people to own guns who may not be as rational as this person.

Stated differently, the GOP has often said, it is not the gun, it is the person using the gun.

Yet the GOP works to prevent things like, e.g., background checks, for gun buyers.

"Biden warned the world of Vlad the Impaler's imminent invasion.
How would YOU have stopped him?

Biden had less ability to stop the invasion than Vlad had to stop Trump from invading Venezuela and kidnapping its President.
#101 | Posted by donnerboy at 2026-01-22 01:35 PM | Reply"

Well, this surely didn't act as any kind of deterrent, in fact, I argue that it was a tacit nod of approval:

""It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do," Biden told reporters at an East Room news conference. "But if they actually do what they're capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine.""

Other than that, yeah, if as a nation we aspire to walk back from being "Team America: World Police" there really wasn't much he could have done to prevent it outside of an immediate escalation into a broader war with Russia.

Ten months until the next elections, and a year before the results of those elections take effect.

Meanwhile the Great Country of the United States is being dragged down (world-wide and internally) by a President who seems to be little more than an authoritarian extreme narcissist.
