The average cost for holiday gifts is up 26%, credit card debt is at an all-time high, and the President is trying to convince Americans that the affordability crisis is a hoax made up by the Democrats. Spoiler alert: it's not.

I've been remiss about posting videos to YouTube. Will try to do better. Here's my conversation with Adam Tooze, which I found really enlightening. Properly edited transcript at my Substack,

If Doug Jones wins the Democratic primary for Governor he will face Timmy Tuberville Tuberville a staunch Trump ally, who embraces an increasingly unpopular MAGA.

Doug Jones wants to reinforce Alabama values of hard work and fairness. He will support Democracy in Alabama.

Trump on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

The excuse for Europe not to support Ukraine with air and ground units was that Russia is a nuclear power. When it was clear Putin would not use nukes the excuse became any war with Russia is too risky. Now the front line is the frozen assets and now that's too risky for some too.

Russia is at war with Western civilization.

Ukrainians defend themselves from Russian invaders. This makes them strong and independent.

Other Europeans and Americans fail to retaliate against Russian acts of war against them. This leaves them weak and diminished in sovereignty.

This is the message that European leaders must share with their citizens. The situation for our dear Europe is serious and dire. We must prepare for war, and the best way to do so is to speed up our arms industries and send as many guns as we can to Ukraine. No use for them in our storages.

We need to exploit our enemies weaknesses while boosting our defense industries and arming Ukraine. We need to impose real sanctions on our enemies and make sure they are enforced.

Our enemies have weaknesses though. We still have supporters in the U.S. and the Trump government is too incompetent to act as anything else than a sidekick to Russia. Russia is close to economic disaster. China has a brewing realestate and banking crisis. Iran has a population eager for freedom.
