In Miami, a few men and two women are dropping to the ground and doing push-ups as if that could somehow force the release of Andrew and Tristan Tate, who face extradition to the United Kingdom over rape and human trafficking charges. They mistake for strength what is really nothing more than kneeling before two men who treated women like merchandise. Their bodies are tense, their minds surrendered a long time ago, and their worship is aimed at the exact kind of depravity they somehow mistake for courage in themselves. Anyone cheering for men accused of crimes like these reveals more about their own contempt for women than any confession ever could. (August 16, 2026)
Poland held its largest military parade ever, with nearly 2,000 troops, more than 300 pieces of military equipment and over 60 aircraft, including its new F-35s. Polish PM Donald Tusk said Poland’s army “will soon become the largest in Europe.” (August 16, 2026)
Trump: "For you to pay a TINY little bit more for your gasoline, you're doing it so that a very evil country cannot have a nuclear weapon. Remember that when you’re paying $4. I’ll never apologize." (August 15, 2026)
Trump: "After we finish defeating Iran, I will be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States." (August 15, 2026)
The U.S. budget deficit hit $432.3 billion in July, the highest in more than five years. The deficit for the first 10 months of the fiscal year has now reached nearly $1.8 trillion, surpassing the same period last year. Trump’s tariffs added $33 billion to the deficit, as the administration refunds money from tariffs the Supreme Court ruled illegal. (August 14, 2026)
Two sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have tried to jump overboard because conditions during the aircraft carrier’s extended deployment in the Middle East are reportedly catastrophic. The crew is suffering from severe supply shortages, a lack of basic hygiene products, and poor-quality food. (August 14, 2026)
Trump: “The country is doing well, prices are dropping fast, Iran is going absolutely fine, we control the Strait of Hormuz, and things are going great for our country.” - Trump’s claims don’t hold up to a fact-check. Prices in the U.S. are not dropping fast, things with Iran are anything but “absolutely fine,” and the United States does not have full control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran continues to insist that the strait will remain closed until Washington meets its conditions. The only part that can’t be fact-checked as true or false is Trump’s claim that things are going “great” for the country - that’s his own warped political assessment. (August 12, 2026)
Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body." - Makes you wonder what Mr. Trump takes every day. (August 11, 2026)
Question: "Can you give us an estimate of when you think the Strait of Hormuz will be open?" - Trump: "It’s open now. We control the strait. Can Iran make trouble? Yeah." - As of 10:00 p.m. CET: Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz unless the United States meets Iran’s conditions. The planned agreement with Oman is in its final stages, but Iran has explicitly stressed that the agreement by itself does not mean the Strait will reopen. (August 10, 2026)
Vance: "I’ve had moments where I felt the presence of God. A friend and I were talking about Christianity and there was this moment where a glass fell off the wall. I think an atheist would dismiss that, but it felt like God was trying to send me a message." (August 9, 2026)
Trump: "I’m an environmental person—believe it or not." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (August 8, 2026)
Reporter: "Democrats are going to impeach you again." - Trump: "A lot of people are saying I’m one of the greatest presidents ever." - Reporter: "They aren’t saying that, though." (August 8, 2026)
Question: How many individuals take advantage of birth tourism? Trump: I'll tell you right now, hundreds of thousands. You have one man came in with a family had said he had 56 children. Another one came in – they said they had 98 children - seriously can’t stop laughing: “98 kids from one guy? - At that point, that’s not a birth statistic anymore - that’s a voting district.” And he actually believes this nonsense himself. (August 7, 2026)
“The tariffs have made us rich.” You’re absolutely right, Mr. President. The tariffs have made you and your buddy Howard Lutnick pretty damn rich - at the expense of people around the world and American consumers. (August 7, 2026)
Trump says Melania is a very elegant woman and claims that her movie is the biggest movie of the year. Fact check: This claim is false. While Melania's documentary had the biggest opening for a documentary in more than a decade, it was never the biggest movie of the year and grossed just $16.6 million worldwide. (August 6, 2026)
Out of Touch with Reality: Trump: "The economy is the greatest economy we’ve ever had by far. The polls are fake." (August 6, 2026)
Ladies and Gentlemen: The President of the United States: "Trump: Canada is nasty. They are. They're nasty." (August 6, 2026)
Anyone who thinks wind turbines make a country a loser still hasn't figured out one thing: the wind will outlast him by a long shot. Trump: "Any country with windmills is a loser, OK?" (August 5, 2026)

Trump: Revenge at the Reflecting Pool, Missiles in the Gulf, Tariffs Without the Law: Three Acts, One Tuesday of Boundlessness

Wer wissen will, wie weit eine Regierung zu gehen bereit ist, muss beobachten, was sie an einem einzigen Tag tut, wenn niemand sie zwingt. Der 11. August liefert das Anschauungsmaterial gleich mehrfach, an einem Spiegelteich und auf offener See, dazu in einem Gerichtssaal für Handelsrecht. Für sich genommen wirkt jeder Vorgang wie eine Kuriosität. Zusammen, […]

The Black Card: How Epstein’s Network Really Took Off After His Conviction
The Black Card: How Epstein’s Network Really Took Off After His Conviction

A conviction is usually where a story ends. For Jeffrey Epstein, it was where the real story began. In 2008, he pleaded guilty in a Florida court to procuring a minor for prostitution. He was required to register as a sex offender and was officially a man under court supervision. Yet according to an investigation that examined thousands of Justice Department records, ...

Investigative Research - AfD: ID Card Number as the Price of Admission. The Purge Begins With a Required Field

Before the AfD event in Grimmen on August 28, there is a form standing between the citizen and the hall, and on that form is a required field: the national ID card number. No number, no registration, no registration, no entry. To justify it, the party offers one sentence, saying that registration is "mandatory due to security requirements imposed by the authorities." Which authority, which requirement ...
