Former Vice President Kamala (hic!) Harris recently opined that there are “no bad ideas” when it comes to brainstorming ways to reinvigorate the Democrat party.

During a May 13th livestream on something called the “Win with Black Women” podcast, Hic! Harris suggested that the Democrat party prepare an “expanded playbook” of ideas to help it retake power after the 2026 midterm elections.

Harris opined:

“And in that no bad ideas brainstorm, we talk about what we need to do and think about doing around the Electoral College. We talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court. We invite a conversation about multi-member districts.”

The old sot suggested that, when Democrats retake the Senate, the Senate Judiciary Committee should quickly establish rules to “penalize people for lying” for Supreme Court justices and nominees.

It is always hilarious when Democrats speak of their dislike for lying … and always lie.

They are to prevarication as Kamala is to drinking, as retrievers are to … retrieving things. They can’t help themselves.

The Tipsy One added,

“Let’s talk about statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. These are the things I think that we’ve got to do.”

She concluded by saying of Democrats:

“We gotta fight fire with fire. We gotta be ruthless, too.”

Democrats start fires. (They don’t always put them out, as clearly demonstrated in Los Angeles County last year.) And Democrats have always been ruthless, whether they were plantation owners or, more recently, possessed by Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and the rabid desire to dispense, by any means necessary, with those with whom they disagree.

As for the notion that there are no bad ideas? How about “Let’s kill all the Jews” or “Islam is totally compatible with a free, democratic republic?” Or even, “I’ve only had 10 rum and cokes, I think I’ll take a nice drive in my car?” And let’s be honest, Kamala doesn’t have brainstorms, she has perhaps a mild squall or minor dust-up on occasion, maybe even a moderate gust of wind, but no brainstorms.

So, Democrats, just continue to call conservatives Nazis. Keep trying to imprison all your political opponents. An assassination or two might be needed here and there to, you know, “save our democracy.” (The problem is that Democrats actually think the country is their democracy, and that no one else has a right to govern it.)

Kamala may still have her mind set on Running for President Under the Influence (RPUI), but it is hard to see any current likely Democrat heading a ticket the equal of Vance-Rubio or vice-versa. As sure as water is wet, Democrats will resort to their time-tested tactics of slander, libel, lies, gas-lighting, projection, and cheating.

Maybe they should just, hic!, forcibly take power via a good, old-fashioned insurrection?

Anything to save their our democracy, right?

It starts with a letter in the mail.

A dairy farmer opens it to find new requirements from their milk processing plant.

Herd data, energy usage, emissions figures. The letter calls it voluntary but if you don’t comply, the plant can’t take your milk. And if the plant can’t take your milk, you’re out of business.

That’s ‘Pathways to Dairy Net Zero’ in practice…

Pathways to Dairy Net Zero (P2DNZ) is presented as a voluntary, science-based initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from dairy producers. In practice, however, it functions as yet another sector-specific implementation of global ESG and net-zero governance.

In the case of P2DNZ, this governance model is applied to large-scale milk producers. The result is the downward transfer of climate-compliance costs and onerous ESG restrictions on farmers. Especially mid-sized and small farms, while offering no plausible pathway to detectable global emissions reductions. In short, this is the latest attack on American farmers from globalist board rooms seeking to control what you consume.

P2DNZ may be presented as a voluntary, science-based initiative but in reality, it’s the same ESG playbook we’ve seen used to squeeze entire industries into net-zero compliance without a single vote being cast. The pressure doesn’t come from government. It comes from the giant food corporations at the top of the supply chain. It comes from the boardrooms of companies like Nestlé and Danone and filters down through processors until it lands on the farmer who has no real choice but to comply.

What begins as “guidance” quickly becomes obligation.

For dairy farmers, especially the ones that make up the lifeblood of the American Heartland, that obligation carries a heavy cost. P2DNZ effectively embeds climate compliance into the financial and commercial conduits of the industry. It deeply impacts how farmers access credit, who processes their milk, who buys their milk, and under what conditions they can continue operating. The burden doesn’t fall on distant institutions or multinational coalitions. It falls squarely on the people milking cows before sunrise, managing tight margins, and trying to pass their family farms on to the next generation.

And for what measurable gain?

Even under the most aggressive assumptions, eliminating all emissions from U.S. dairy production would have no detectable impact on global climate trends. That’s not a political statement; it’s a matter of scale. Yet the economic consequences are anything but theoretical. Farmers face rising compliance costs. Consumers face higher prices at the grocery store. And the industry itself faces increasing consolidation, as smaller producers struggle to keep up with mandates they had zero role in shaping.

This is the uncomfortable truth at the heart of P2DNZ: it is less about environmental outcomes and more about control. It’s about shifting decision-making power away from independent producers and toward a network of globalist financial and corporate actors.

The attacks on American agriculture have taken on many forms. From discriminating against the use of diesel- and gasoline-powered farming equipment in the lending market, to corporate shareholder resolutions calling on food companies to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions” by cutting beef production, to utter demands to adopt plant-based alternatives to actual meat, and even outright litigation designed to bankrupt American businesses and farmers. Regardless of the tactic, they share a common objective. To create a world in which every single human is under the thumb of a global set of rules that would ensure more pain and misery than anyone should entertain. 

The good news is that the current federal administration seems to be sticking up for small- and mid-sized American farms and dairy producers. Yesterday, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, shared a post on X highlighting the Pathways to Dairy Net Zero Problem. “Dairy farmers are vital in rural America, but now face radical ESG mandates disguised as “sustainability.” As (@Heartland Impact) notes, Pathways to Dairy Net Zero will burden small farms with costly compliance.”

P2DNZ is not an isolated initiative. It is the agricultural, and diary centered, expression of a broader ESG governance model that substitutes accounting targets for physical outcomes and private coordination for public accountability.

Hopefully, in the months and years to follow, more Americans and policymakers will become aware of the harms associated with incorporating ESG metrics into farming. American famers feed the nation, and they deserve better.

A senior citizens group has forecast that the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Social Security payments will increase by 3.9 percent next year, more than 1 percentage point higher than last month’s prediction.

The Senior Citizens League, which issues monthly projections on the COLA for Social Security, said in a statement Tuesday the 3.9 percent for 2027 is already higher than the 2.8 percent increase that went into effect in 2026. The group in April had forecast a 2.8 percent increase for next year’s payments.

“Fast-rising oil prices could have downstream effects on the economy and push inflation even higher,” potentially leading to a higher COLA projection, the group said, adding that research has show that higher gas prices can lead to higher prices across the board.

The COLA for next year is usually announced by the Social Security Administration in October and is based on Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) reports issued by the Labor Department for the months of July, August, and September.

The group’s forecast Tuesday came as the department released its monthly CPI report, which found that inflation in April increased by 0.6 percent month over month, along with a 3.8 percent annual increase.

According to the Labor Department’s report, the rise in inflation was in part caused by higher gasoline, energy, and fuel prices. The gasoline index rose 5.4 percent over the past month while gas prices increased 11.1 percent in April, and the fuel index increased by 5.8 percent, it found.

Data released by the American Automobile Association (AAA) showed that as of Thursday, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline rose by 2 cents to $4.53 nationwide. Diesel rose by 1 cent to $5.66 per gallon, according to the data.

Just two days before the U.S.–Iran war started in late February, regular gasoline cost around $2.98 per gallon on average nationwide, according to AAA.

After the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, Tehran effectively closed off access to the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes. The choking off of the strait has sent energy prices higher and has rattled world markets.

The oil shock shows no sign of letting up as the International Energy Agency warned Wednesday that the “mounting supply losses from the Strait of Hormuz are depleting global oil inventories at a record pace.’’

Meanwhile, the producer price index, another measure of inflation that tracks prices before they reach consumers, rose 6 percent from a year earlier, the highest point in more than three years, the Labor Department reported Wednesday.

“Many seniors are telling us the same thing: As inflation picks back up, life still does not feel affordable. The average senior already lives on much less than younger Americans, according to the Census Bureau, and our supporters constantly tell us they feel like they’re falling farther and farther behind,” Shannon Benton, the president of the Senior Citizens League, said in a statement on Tuesday.

She added that retirees living on fixed incomes are seeing prices on health care, housing, utilities, and insurance “continue to rise faster than prices in the rest of the economy, silently wrenching seniors dry.”

Friday was the 15th of the month 45 days after quarter end, which means we got a flood of 13F reports indicating what asset managers were long as of March 31. We will do a summary recap below of all the biggest names, but as usual we start with Berkshire due to its traditional lack of turnover and corresponding price impact of the stock of new positions or liquidations. And we should underline “traditional” because in Berkshire’s first full quarter under Warren Buffett replacement Greg Abel, who took the reins at Berkshire this year after Buffett stepped down following six decades at the helm, the new CEO took a machete to no less than 14 existing position which he dumped unceremoniously. 

But first, let’s look at the additions of which there were two: one big one and a much smaller one.

Starting with the former, Berkshire unveiled a new $2.6 billion stake in Delta Airlines, reigniting the conglomerate’s complicated relationship with the airline industry. The Omaha-based hedge fund-cum-conglomerate said it had purchased 39.8 million shares in the airline as of the end of March, according to its latest 13F. The move – which amounted to a 6.1% stake – sent shares of the carrier up more than 3% in late trading.

It’s not the first time Berkshire has been involved with the name: Under the recently departed former CEO Warren Buffett, Berkshire had a tense relationship with the airline industry over the decades. After a troublesome investment in USAir, Buffett once joked in 2001 that he would call an 800 number to declare he was an “air-o-holic” if he ever got the urge to invest in airlines again. Then in 2016, Berkshire dove into the industry again, amassing stakes in the four largest U.S. airlines.  But Buffett reversed course again in 2020, when he exited his airline holdings in Delta, Southwest, American Airlines and United as the sector was grappling with the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic. Fast forward 6 years and the company is once again building up a stake in airlines, only at much higher prices. 

Berkshire also revealed it has amassed a small stake in retailer Macy’s. A stronger-than-expected sales outlook had boosted Macy’s stock earlier this year. Shares of the department store operator jumped more than 6% in late trading on Friday in response to the Berkshire filing.

During the quarter, Berkshire also boosted its holding in star AI performer Alphabet, adding 36.4 million shares in Google’s parent company. Berkshire also added modestly to its stake in Lennar. 

But while Abel added to Google, it dumped all its holdings of Amazon.com, some 2.276 million shares as of Dec 31, 2025. 

There was much more: Berkshire also exited its sizable positions in credit card companies Visa and Mastercard (combined over $5 billion as of Dec 31), and liquidated holdings in UnitedHealth Group, which proved to be a brief flirt for the conglomerate; UnitedHealth had been trying to rebuild confidence with investors after struggling to adapt to changing US government payment policies. The stock dropped roughly 2.5% in post-market trading on Friday. Berkshire also sold out all its holdings in Diageo plc, Pool Corp, Charter Communications, Domino’s Pizza, Heico, Lamar Advertising, Allegion, AON, and Liberty Latin America. 

Why the mass dump? According to the WSJ, Abel offloaded all the equity holdings that were previously managed by Todd Combs, Berkshire’s former stock-picker. Combs left Berkshire and joined JPMorgan in December for a broad investing advisory role. 

Finally, Berkshire reduced its holdings in Bank of America, Chevron, Davita, Liberty Live Holdings, Nucor and Constellation Brands.  The full breakdown of Berkshire’s 13F is in the table below.

In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier that aired Friday, President Trump said that he doesn’t want “to travel 9,500 miles to fight a war” over Taiwan.

“I’m not looking to have somebody to go independent and, you know, we’re supposed to travel 9,500 miles to fight a war,” Trump told Baier. “I’m not looking for that. I want them to cool down. I want China to cool down.”

Taiwan has been a major point of friction between Washington and Beijing. Last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told NBC News that the issue was not a key topic during Trump’s summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

The initial White House readout of the summit also did not mention Taiwan, home to the world’s most advanced semiconductor production.

Taiwan is strategically important for three main reasons:

• It is indispensable to global semiconductor production.

• It sits at the center of the Western Pacific security architecture.

• It remains a major flashpoint in U.S.-China relations.

In other words, Taiwan is critically important to the U.S. because it is not only a semiconductor production supernode, but also a geopolitical fortress against China and a potential flashpoint in U.S.-China relations.

However, Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of Social Capital and part of the All-In podcast, pointed out that Taiwan could be on track to lose one of its most strategic advantages in the next 18 months.

Palihapitiya continued:

We’re 18 months from Taiwan not being an important moment of conversation the way it is today.

Why 18 months? Because we are at a point where we’re probably 1-2 nanometers away from being able to do what we need Taiwan to strategically do for us.

And so as we scale up our chip fabs, as we get more capacity, and interestingly, there are these orthogonal technologies being developed.

I don’t know if you guys saw, but Neuralink was showcasing a machine that is literally operating at the almost nanometer scale to do the brain operations for the implantation, all automatically.

When you have the dexterity and the capability mechanically to make these things, the real reason then is a very different one than what it is today.

Today, it’s economic. And if you take that off the table, I think we’ll have a very different attitude to Taiwan.

Palihapitiya’s take on the rise of U.S. chip fabs, many of which are based in Arizona and could soon turn the state into the new Taiwan, drew backlash on X, notably from geopolitical risk analyst Ian Bremmer, who said, “This is Trump’s perspective: the only thing that matters about Taiwan is the chips. Very different from the view of U.S. allies in the region: Japan, South Korea, and Australia.”

Via The Cradle

The Islamic Republic of Iran has launched a digital insurance platform, titled Hormuz Safe, in order to guarantee safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and provide coverage for commercial vessels. 

The platform will rely on cryptocurrency payments from vessels and is being advanced by the Iranian Economy Ministry, according to a Saturday report by Fars News Agency.  “The Ministry of Economy is advancing a plan that would make the management of the Strait of Hormuz possible through insurance – a model that would be acceptable to other countries during peacetime while still allowing Iran to exercise control over the Strait,” the agency’s correspondent reported, citing a government document. 

“Under this plan, Iran would achieve informational dominance and be able to distinguish between the transit of vessels from different countries,” the report added. 

“From an international law perspective, while imposing tolls on ships in the post-war period may be possible, it would carry political costs. Management of the Strait would then be limited to selling services, which, under the best circumstances, would generate up to $2 billion in revenue for Iran. Under the Economy Ministry’s plan, managing the strait through an insurance framework would enable the issuance of various marine insurance policies as well as certificates of financial responsibility,” it explained. 

According to the document, the plan will start with insurance covering inspection, detention, and confiscation. Damage from military attacks would not be covered.

The ministry estimates that “this approach, while assuming low risk, would generate over $10 billion in revenue” for Iran. Since the start of the unprovoked US-Israeli war on Iran, the Strait of Hormuz has been closed to Washington and Tel Aviv. 

Chinese ships and vessels belonging to other nations, which have coordinated with Iran, including France and India, have at times crossed throughout the war and the so-called ceasefire period.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) network reported on May 16 that several European governments have opened direct channels with Tehran to discuss safe passage through the waterway. 

The Fars News Agency report comes weeks after Bloomberg said Iran has set up a “toll booth” in the strait, requiring ships to undergo vetting and pay fees for safe passage. 

One of Tehran’s main terms is a new global system that would grant authority over the Strait of Hormuz, in coordination with Oman and potentially other regional states.

Iranian media said days ago that Iranian and Omani officials convened a legal-technical meeting in Muscat to discuss the Strait of Hormuz, arrangements for the secure passage of ships, and the sovereign rights of both nations over the waterway. The US has maintained an ‘illegal’ blockade of Iranian ports since the ceasefire began, while repeatedly threatening to renew bombardment. Israel has also said it is awaiting US approval to renew attacks against Iran.

Washington violated the truce earlier this month by attacking several vessels and bombing Iran’s coast. Iranian forces targeted two US military vessels in response (while the Pentagon maintains it was the other way around). The next day, skirmishes broke out between Iranian and US forces in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian officials are warning that “restraint has ended” and that renewal of the war will result in “crushing” responses. 

The Russian capital has just suffered possibly its single biggest and deadliest Ukrainian drone attack of the war – and certainly the largest attack wave on Moscow in the last year. It ironically comes exactly a week after President Zelensky signed on to a three day Russian ‘Victory Day’ ceasefire at the behest of President Trump. It also comes after several days of major Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine.

At least four people have been killed in the overnight large-scale assault wave, with dozens more wounded. Regional airports have been shut down, and there’s been a sense of panic as the threat lingered into the daylight hours Sunday, with onlookers filming drones flying uncontested over Moscow airspace. 

“A woman died in Khimki, north of Moscow, and a person was trapped under rubble, regional governor Andrei Vorobiev said. A man and a woman were killed in the village of Pogorelki,” BBC reports, citing local authorities.

Additionally, “A male Indian citizen was killed and three others injured, India’s Moscow embassy said, but it was not clear whether these casualties were included in Vorobiev’s tally. Another person died in Belgorod region bordering Ukraine.”

The regional governor said that residences were on fire, with a home in the village of Subbotino, southwest of Moscow, being one of them. 

Reports say the attack marks the first time of the entire 4+ year long war that Ukraine directly struck a Moscow oil refinery, considered to be the most protected energy facility in the country, with multiple strikes landing on target.

Some eyewitness accounts said at one point drones were seen flying in formation over Moscow, as if to make a mockery of Russian anti-air defense.

Ukraine’s drone swarms have long proven a major problem for Russia’s military, being small and low to the ground, able to evade expensive air defenses which were designed to intercept larger, faster inbound projectiles like rockets or aircraft.

Overnight, Russia’s defense ministry said 556 drones were intercepted around the country. Some 130 of them were intercepted in the Moscow region alone, but clearly at least dozens still made it through.

Amid the suicide UAV attack mayhem, Sheremetyevo – Russia’s busiest airport that serves Moscow – suffered drone damage and falling debris, but there were no reports of injury at the airport.

“The situation in the passenger terminals is calm. Sheremetyevo Airport is providing stable passenger and aircraft services,” airport officials said.

There have also been dramatic scenes of massive fires just underneath busy highways, causing panicked drivers to try and get past the flames quickly and safely, and watching the skies above.

Damage at Sheremetyevo airport…

Ukrainian President Zelensky later owned up to authorizing the attack, saying the strikes were an “entirely justified” response to the last several days of Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities, including Kiev. This past week saw massive Russian attacks, which killed seven bystanders and wounded many more, including children.

Rare moment of chaos and fear over Moscow…

The tit-for-tat drone hits have increasingly expanded to include civilian neighborhoods on either side of the border, sadly. The ground war has lately been largely stale-mated, with Russia having the clear edge, but the air war has been heating up – with both sides suffering serious damage, particularly at energy sites.

Authored by Kimberly Hayek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

YouTube, Snap, and TikTok have settled a Kentucky school district’s claims that the platforms fueled a youth mental health crisis that the school district said it was forced to manage.

The Breathitt County School District in rural eastern Kentucky still plans to take Meta Platforms, parent of Facebook and Instagram, to trial on June 15.

The agreements, detailed in federal court filings on Friday, are among the first set for trial in more than 1,200 similar lawsuits filed by school districts nationwide.

“This matter has been amicably resolved and our focus remains on building age-appropriate products and parental controls that deliver on that promise,” a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement.

Snap and TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The district had sought more than $60 million to cover costs of countering social media’s effects on students and to fund a 15-year mental health program. It also asked the court to order changes to reduce addictive features on the platforms. Terms of the agreements were not disclosed.

More than 3,300 addiction-related lawsuits are pending in California state courts. Another 2,400 cases filed by individuals, cities, states, and school districts have been filed in the California federal court.

The companies have denied the allegations. They say they already take extensive steps to protect teens and young users.

The settlements come weeks after a landmark verdict in a related individual case.

In March, a jury found Meta and Google’s YouTube negligent and awarded $6 million to a 20-year-old woman identified in court records as K.G.M. or Kaley G.M., who argued she suffered depression, body dysmorphia, anxiety, and suicidal ideation as a result of being addicted to the social media apps.

K.G.M.’s case focused narrowly on how design and function—including features such as notifications, “infinite scroll,” and the companies’ proprietary algorithms—rather than third-party content, may have led to alleged psychological harms.

Meta and YouTube executives testified that they do not design their platforms to be addictive.

K.G.M.’s attorneys said the evidence clearly shows that leadership at both Meta and YouTube knew of the harms associated with preteen use, that young people with other co-stressors were particularly vulnerable, and that they went after that demographic anyway, introducing features such as vertical video feeds to compete with rivals such as Snapchat.

Like K.G.M.’s case, the Breathitt County School District’s agreement is one of a handful of bellwether trials expected to have a profound bearing on thousands of related, consolidated civil injury lawsuits brought by parents, children, school districts, and district attorneys.
