We have already lost a crop yield. We have already lost a growing season with reduced fertilizer. This damaged to this growing season was slightly prevented by use of alternative fertilizers and the limited stockpiles The next growing season-September to November will see a major reduction in output. It is inevitable. The world lives on a "just in time" model of razor thin margins for food supply to the most vulnerable places on earth. Countries that were food poor even before this war relied heavily on donated food. The coming crop yield will be significantly lower meaning famine. This damage is unavoidable at this point. But the real harm comes in 2027 when these losses multiply. Keep in mind that the alternative fertilizer processes say for phosphorus based fertilizer uses sulfur which comes from LNG processing.

A key plank of the president's plan to spend $1.5tn on the military in the 2027 fiscal year, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), passed the Republican-controlled chamber by a 216-212 vote, with all but six Democrats opposing its passage. Seven House Republicans broke ranks to oppose it. The measure now goes to the Senate. The $1.15 trillion is not the end of the request. <p>There is also <p>The remaining $350 billion, which the bill does not address, would come through a separate party-line reconciliation bill. <p>The full $1.5 trillion request amounts to roughly a 50 percent hike in defense spending from the current year's level. The eye-popping total is seen as a long shot on Capitol Hill. But defense hawks have argued Congress must secure as much money as possible for the military to modernize and to meet emerging threats. <p>https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/22/house-republicans-pass-defense-bill-01008493 Wed, 22 Jul 2026 17:10:45 -0400 truthhurts https://drudge.com/news/293440/america-fucking-insane#discuss tag:drudge.com,2005:weblog.293440 discussion, 0.5 daily 293440 https://drudge.com/news/293355/2-us-servicemen-dead-1-missing-jordan https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/two-us-servicemembers-killed-one-missing-in-iran-missile-attack-on-jordan/ar-AA28c9Vj?ocid=msedgntp&pc=NMTS&cvid=6a5ba1c838f54d72a9de34da549ab1c3&cvpid=9ed1dc25ce5b4332ab4dcb3bcc850fc7&ei=16 Two U.S. servicemembers were killed and several were wounded in an Iranian attack on an air base in Jordan, further escalating a weeklong exchange of fire where both sides have been striking a broader array of targets. U.S. Central Command, which oversees American forces in the Middle East, confirmed the deaths and said another servicemember is missing as a result of the attack. Four servicemembers were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals and have since been discharged, according to Centcom. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have been returned to duty, Centcom added.

Corporations can sue in Federal Court to enforce international law. <p>Citizens cannot sue in Federal Court if a US company facilitates another country surveilling or torturing them <p>The SC has gutted Congress' spending clause powers. An individual cannot sue a government agent who violates a right established and enforced by a Congressional spending power law. <p>Ex. Congress passes a law that funds a program for states that comes with restrictions/requirements on the states for them to obtain/use the money. <p>if the state agent does not follow those requirements, say by denying a religious liberty right, the person subjected to the violation cannot sue the state agent/entity. <p>This completely defangs any spending clause law that congress enacts, since the recipient of the funds can ignore the restrictions without ramification. <p>Thanks magat scum, you are destroying our country <p> <p> Tue, 23 Jun 2026 18:05:55 -0400 truthhurts https://drudge.com/news/292829/sc-corporations-have-rights-you-dont#discuss tag:drudge.com,2005:weblog.292829 discussion, 0.5 daily 292829 https://drudge.com/news/292591/ben-gvir-israel-should-kidnap-lebanese https://news.antiwar.com/2026/06/09/ben-gvir-says-israel-should-kidnap-women-and-children-in-lebanon/ "Let's start thinking outside the box about Hezbollah," Ben Gvir said, according to The Jerusalem Post. "Also, conquering territory and killing many terrorists, but also arresting their women and youth and taking them to terrorist prisons. That's what hurts them the most."
