Punk Musk and Trump.. Content Warning.
The picture I have posted above looks like a Sid Vicious Elon Musk. Punk was and is all about shaking things up and a 'D-I-Y' mentality. Whether you admire Musk or loathe him he is a person who does all of the above. The billionaire has his own electric car company, Tesla. His Sattelite communication network and his Space-X company. Co-operating with NASA his mission is to send humans to Mars and establish the first colony. Though of course, many of the colonists will be rich. It will be a long time before the likes of you and I ever set foot on the Red Planet. Musk is like the proverbial character of David Bowie's "The Man Who Fell To Earth". An alien who came here to save his planet using Earth's resources and go home. Some jokingly and realistically question Musk's origins. Is he a real alien who fell to Earth? A Martian even, hence his obsession with "Occupying Mars" as his t-shirts proclaim. Alien or not, he likes to keep people guessing. He is South African but an American citizen now. Alien or Earthman, Musk for better or worse is a phenomenon of our times.

Zelenskyy in Conversation.
Now Ukraine has fired 'ATACMS' and 'Storm Shadow' missiles into Russia some say it is "Too little, too late"! In other words, the Ukrainians should have been allowed to fire these projectiles earlier in the war. Would it have made any difference though? Biden and Starmer did not allow their use in Russia because they were cautious of Vlad The Invader's reaction. And so it has come to pass, in response to these Western missiles hitting Russia, Russia hit Ukraine with hypersonic missiles. These missiles carry multiple warheads and cannot be shot down. Russia has hit Ukraine's energy grid knocking off line power to thousands of Ukrainian citizens. Putin has also lowered the threshold now so he can easily use his nukes if needs be.

Vlad 'The Invader's' Nuke Threshold.
Joe Biden held off from sanctioning the use of Attacms missiles in case Russia hit back with nukes. Putin has always used veiled threats against the West about Russia's 6,000 nuclear missile capability. Now it seems the Americans in the closing days of Biden's presidency, Washington is calling Moscow's bluff. In other words, are Putin's threats just bluff and bluster or a real action he would take? Certainly, the West if Putin is serious is playing a dangerous game.

Pope Francis: Wants Investigation into Genocide in Gaza.. Content Warning.
Popes had more authority than what they do today. In medieval times, the Pope could call a crusade and it would happen. Catholic Christian nations would heed the call and journey to the Middle East and battle Islamic forces.

Starmer Learning From Kamala's Defeat.. Content Warning.
What can Labour learn from the defeat of their equivalent in the US, the Democrats? Kamala did for a while, give new life to the Democratic POTUS campaign. It knocked Trump's campaign off track. All of his campaigns had been about defeating the incumbent President Joe Biden. However, Trump regained his momentum, especially after his two assassination attempts. He came back stronger and his voters were not just the majority European-American population. Blacks, Native Americans, and Asians voted for him. Why would people who are not of European heritage lend their vote to a so-called racist?
