What sort of mind set is 'disrespect' based on? I would say that lies, gaslighting, and pulling the wool over the eyes of the sheep to enrich oneself ranks among the worst types of disrespect, and causes real harm to others. Shorting the stock market with insider information is in fact theft. It takes away from everybody else. That's why insider trading is considered a crime. But don't hold your breath about accountability in the case of Trump's inside traders.

But my point here is mostly that this sort of behavior within the Trump administration stems from contempt for USA citizens. They know that people know, and still they do it.

Bets based on alleged leaks by US officials to their “friends” are part of a pattern, a California professor has told RT

A reported $125 million pocketed by an oil trader from a perfectly timed Iran-linked bet is “only the tip of the iceberg” in what appears to be a pattern of insider trading tied to key developments during the Iran war, Professor Jack Rasmus has told RT.

Roughly 10,000 contracts worth an estimated $920 million were reportedly opened on Wednesday, less than an hour before media reports said Washington and Tehran were nearing an agreement, triggering a more than 12% drop in oil prices and an estimated nine-figure profit.

Similar suspiciously well-timed bets have repeatedly coincided with major developments during the war and public statements by US President Donald Trump, including on April 7, when oil prices plunged after he announced a temporary ceasefire, the professor from Saint Mary’s College of California told RT on Friday.

Trades are placed “within minutes” of Trump’s announcements about Iran, he said, calling the pattern “pretty constant [...] There’s no other explanation” other than inside information. “Somebody in the government is telling their friends.”

“Every time Trump says something that sounds tough the price of oil goes up,” Rasmus said, adding that traders then made bets that generated an estimated $7 billion in March and April alone in what he described as a “very well organized” operation.

According to the economist, commodity exchanges including Chicago Mercantile Exchange and ICE “know who this is” but will not announce findings because “some people in the government got their hands in this pie.” He described the Trump administration as “a big grift” and “a historical grifting” extending beyond oil into crypto and other “shady deals.” (my emphasis)

Clash Report - May 8, 2026:

"Tucker Carlson says he personally warned Trump that many of the people encouraging him toward war with Iran — including Netanyahu, Rupert Murdoch, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, and Mark Thiessen — either dislike him or “want to destroy” his presidency.
Tucker says he told Trump directly that these figures were pushing policies aligned with Israeli interests rather than Trump’s or America’s interests, and that Trump acknowledged this by saying, “Yeah, I know.”"

TRUMP'S MASTERSTROKE! Europe in CHAOS as Italy PLEADS and Germany IMPLODES!!!

Dr. Steve Turley
May 6, 2026
The tension between the United States and NATO has escalated significantly, particularly under former President Trump's administration. Trump's insistence on increasing military spending among NATO allies and the recent withdrawal of U.S. troops from Germany, Italy, and Spain highlight a shift in the dynamics of transatlantic relations, revealing Europe's growing dependence on American military support amid economic challenges.

Quote:
6:25 " (For example) In Spain, US bases at Rot pump over $700 million into local economies annually and support roughly 8,000 jobs, with the ROA base alone ranked as the top US naval installation in Europe for economic impact. And in Italy, the six fleets presence in Naples generates roughly $312 million per year and supports 5,000 direct jobs. So when Trump threatens to pull troops, he's not just threatening European security, he's threatening European paychecks. And that is leverage that no amount of diplomatic posturing can neutralize.

Troop withdrawal isn't just a military story. It's an economic gut punch. And given their reprehensible behavior throughout this Iran war, Trump has decided to punch Europe and punch it hard. "

P.S. Russia is no threat to Europe, it has been NATOs bogey man for the last 35 years since the fall of the Berlin wall giving reason to NATO existence.

The real issue is China and the Pacific Chairman Xi maybe working alongside President Trump & Putin but China is a big country with many factions vying for power and therefore is still a wild card in global politics.

(2) a 4–3 Virginia Supreme Court decision striking down Democrats’ fast-tracked redistricting referendum, keeping existing 2026 districts, alongside the U.S. Supreme Court’s April 29 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais against race-based gerrymandering; and
(3) examples of “authentic” politics, citing J.D. Vance’s Iowa speech about deindustrialization and military sacrifice and viral AI ads boosting LA mayoral outsider Spencer Pratt’s critique of California leadership.

In a sane world, this would be called THEFT. And the rogue USA-Israel axis appropriating enriched uranium would be considered extremely concerning for world security.

US seizes enriched uranium from Venezuela
Washington has hailed the operation as a major security victory amid its standoff with Iran over a far larger stockpile

The US has triumphantly announced that it has removed highly enriched uranium (HEU) from Venezuela in what the US Department of Energy (DOE) hailed as a victory for America and “the world.”

In a statement on Friday, the DOE said it had completed the “removal of all remaining enriched uranium from a legacy research reactor” in the South American nation and transferred it to the US for processing and reuse. The quantity removed was 13.5 kg (30 pounds).

The move “sends another signal to the world of a restored and renewed Venezuela,” the statement reads. It also hails “[US] President [Donald] Trump’s decisive leadership” on the issue.

Washington rebooted relations with Caracas after US forces abducted and imprisoned Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January over narcoterrorism allegations. The uranium removal was coordinated with the Venezuelan Ministry of Science and Technology, the DOE statement said.

Despite the dramatic language surrounding the operation, the material had not been publicly linked to any imminent proliferation threat. The uranium originated from a Cold War-era civilian reactor near Caracas established under the “Atoms for Peace” program that ran from the mid-1950s through the 1970s.

US nonproliferation officials argue that any civilian HEU stockpile, regardless of size, presents a long-term threat of theft, diversion, or trafficking and should eventually be removed from circulation. The Venezuela transfer closely resembles dozens of similar HEU-removal operations carried out over the past three decades as part of routine US- and IAEA-backed nonproliferation programs targeting civilian research reactors.

Even at the height of Washington’s hostility toward Maduro, US accusations against Caracas centered on drugs trafficking and corruption, not on any Venezuelan nuclear threat to the American homeland.

The announcement of the removal comes as the US has reached an impasse with Iran over its far larger stockpile of enriched uranium, estimated at roughly 440 kg, which Trump has repeatedly described as a major threat to US security.

Washington has demanded Iran surrender, export, or dilute its highly enriched uranium stockpile, pushing for a long-term suspension of enrichment along with strict verification measures. Iranian officials have rejected these demands as “maximalist,” insisting enrichment is a sovereign right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

As President Trump prepares to travel to China, this episode argues that Putin’s remarks about Russia’s “partners and friends” (China, India, and the U.S.) reveal a shifting global alignment that alarms the Obama–Soros network.

It examines the Global Progress Action Summit in Toronto, where Barack Obama appeared and Center for American Progress leaders, including Neera Tanden and Patrick Gaspard, framed Trump’s presidency as an “interregnum” and promoted Mark Carney’s “Principled Pragmatism,” described as preserving globalist structures while rebranding to address public backlash.

The script contrasts this with what it calls a “new strategic map” driven by Trump, Putin, and Xi, highlighted by Victory Day context, an announced Russia–China energy deal, and Trump’s proclamations. (It's a Q thing!!!)

It concludes that Democrats seek midterm gains but face setbacks from redistricting rulings, prompting renewed efforts to win back working-class voters.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Exposes the Jewish Billionaire Trio Backing Thomas Massie’s Primary Challenger

In the aftermath of Israel’s Gaza genocide, some of the richest Jews in America have united to crush the one Republican who dared say no to their blank check, turning Kentucky’s May 2026 primary into an existential referendum on whether any anti-Zionist can survive in a Jewish-dominated political order.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who resigned from Congress in January 2026, ignited controversy on March 31, 2026, when she identified the billionaire donors backing former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein’s campaign against Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and accused them of prioritizing a foreign country over American interests. (Other TOO articles on Massie.)

“You know who has not been tested? His opponent. His opponent that is literally propped up and funded by three Jewish billionaires,” Greene said during a virtual fundraiser for Massie that also featured former Rep. Ron Paul and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). “Now look, I’m not anti-Semitic, I don’t care what people’s religion are, but these three billionaires that are funding this opponent against Thomas Massie don’t even live in Kentucky, they’re not eve-, they don’t have a home in his district. And their loyalty is to Israel, not the United States of America.”

Greene continued with an urgent call to action: “So I think what’s extremely important for people to understand is you need to donate some money. You need to donate some money on the MassieMoneyBomb.com because this is a fight for America first. This is a fight against a foreign country, against foreign interests, and against foreign money. And it’s that type of foreign money that has already bought off most members of Congress.”

The three donors Greene referenced are the same ones identified by the Washington Examiner: New York hedge fund manager Paul Singer, who contributed $1 million to the anti-Massie super PAC MAGA KY; Florida hedge fund manager John Paulson, who contributed $250,000; and the Preserve America PAC — primarily funded by Nevada casino mogul Miriam Adelson — which contributed $750,000. None of the three donors live in Kentucky.

Massie has characterized the effort as a “DC-funded hit job.” The Massie fundraiser raised over $351,000 in its first 24 hours, driven by more than 3,200 small donors. The MAGA KY super PAC, run by Chris LaCivita — who co-managed Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign — had spent $1.56 million in just 38 days on television and digital advertisements opposing Massie by early August 2025. By late March 2026, CBS News reported total MAGA KY spending had grown to approximately $2.7 million, while a super PAC linked to the Republican Jewish Coalition had directed more than $2.8 million toward the race. RJC CEO Matt Brooks had said earlier, “Like Trump, we are committed to the defeat of Massie.”

The involvement of the Republican Jewish Coalition alongside these massive outside donations makes one thing clear. The effort is not about Kentucky values but about enforcing unconditional loyalty to Israel. Who are these three Jewish billionaires, and what are their political priorities?

1. Paul Singer

Paul Elliott Singer, born August 22, 1944, in New York City, contributed $1 million to MAGA KY — the single largest individual donation to the anti-Massie campaign. Forbes estimates his net worth at $6.7 billion as of 2025. restart

Singer founded Elliott Associates in 1977 with $1 million in seed capital. The firm grew into Elliott Management Corporation, which managed approximately $72.7 billion in assets as of December 31, 2024. Elliott has long been described as a “vulture fund” — its model involves buying distressed sovereign and corporate debt at steep discounts and pursuing aggressive litigation for full repayment. The most notorious example was Elliott’s 15-year legal campaign against Argentina over defaulted sovereign bonds, which ultimately extracted full repayment.

Singer has been among the most significant funders of neoconservative foreign policy ventures. He was FDD’s second-largest contributor from 2008 to 2011, donating $3.6 million to the hawkish think tank focused on Iran policy and pro-Israel advocacy. He serves as Chairman Emeritus at the Manhattan Institute, per the Elliott Management website, and donated more than $1 million to AIPAC’s United Democracy Project in recent election cycles.

Singer describes himself as a libertarian-leaning conservative but has consistently backed interventionist foreign policy. He was a major fundraiser for George W. Bush and heavily funded Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign. He donated $1 million to the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC during the Stop Trump movement before eventually reconciling with Trump and donating $5 million to his super PAC in 2024.

2. John Paulson

John Alfred Paulson, born December 14, 1955, in Queens, New York, contributed $250,000 to MAGA KY. Forbes estimated his net worth at $3.8 billion as of August 2025.

Paulson founded Paulson & Co. in 1994 with $2 million and one employee. He became a household name in finance for executing what author Gregory Zuckerman documented in his book The Greatest Trade Ever — shorting subprime mortgages ahead of the 2007-2008 financial crisis. His firm earned $15 billion that year, with Paulson personally pocketing roughly $4 billion.

Paulson served as one of Trump’s top economic advisers during the 2016 campaign and hosted a record-breaking fundraiser on April 6, 2024 at his Palm Beach mansion — the “Inaugural Leadership Dinner” — that raised $50.5 million for Trump’s presidential campaign, which Trump called “the biggest night in Fund Raising of ALL TIME.” Paulson himself stated: “This sold-out event has raised the most in a single political fundraiser in history.”

Paulson’s Israel-focused philanthropy has grown substantially in recent years. In 2023 he committed $27 million to Hebrew University of Jerusalem to build the Paulson Bar-El Building for Computer Science and Engineering, and in January 2026 his foundation added another $19 million, bringing his total commitment to Hebrew University to $46 million — one of the largest donations the university has ever received. Hebrew University awarded Paulson an honorary doctorate in June 2024 in recognition of his philanthropic contributions.

The most politically charged element of Massie’s campaign involves the late Jewish sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Paulson’s name appears in Epstein’s black book. In a September 2025 Newsmax interview, Massie named Paulson directly: “He’s a hedge fund manager and a major donor to the Republican Party, a major donor to the speaker of the House, a major donor to the president’s campaign, and he’s in Epstein’s black book.”

3. Miriam Adelson

Miriam Adelson, born October 10, 1945, in Tel Aviv during the British Mandate, contributed $750,000 via the Preserve America PAC, of which she is the primary funder. Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index puts her net worth at approximately $40 billion, while Forbes estimates $32–35 billion.

Born Miriam Farbstein to Jewish parents who fled Poland before the Holocaust, she served as a medical officer in the Israeli military before becoming a physician specializing in addiction treatment. She married Sheldon Adelson, the founder of Las Vegas Sands Corp., in 1991 and after his death in January 2021 assumed control of the family’s business and philanthropic empire, including majority ownership of the Dallas Mavericks.

The Adelson family has channeled more than $600 million into Trump’s three presidential campaigns and other Republican causes since 2015. In 2024 alone, Miriam contributed $106 million to Preserve America, her pro-Trump super PAC, eclipsing even the $75 million contributed by Elon Musk to his own PAC. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson were jointly instrumental in pushing Trump to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights during his first term.

At a White House Hanukkah reception on December 16, 2025, Adelson took the podium and publicly encouraged Trump to seek a third term — a move barred by the 22nd Amendment. She told the crowd she had spoken with attorney Alan Dershowitz about the constitutional question and concluded, “We can do it, think about it.” Trump then announced to the crowd that Adelson had promised “another $250 million” if he runs again in 2028, prompting chants of “Four more years.”

The campaign against Massie represents a broader pattern of pro-Israel donor networks targeting anti-war voices within the Republican Party. Massie has been targeted primarily for opposing U.S. military aid to Israel, voting against Trump’s reconciliation bill, and leading the push for full release of the Epstein files.

This is not the first time Massie has faced this pressure. In the 2024 cycle, AIPAC’s United Democracy Project launched an ad campaign against him, announcing an initial $300,000 TV buy on Fox affiliates statewide. UDP spokesperson Patrick Dorton declared the group was “shining a spotlight on Tom Massie’s atrocious anti-Israel record.” Massie pushed back, telling supporters that “the AIPAC super PAC just bought $300,000 of ads against me because I am often the lone Republican for freedom of speech, against foreign aid, and opposed to wars in the Middle East.” FEC filings reviewed by The Intercept placed UDP’s total verified expenditure against Massie at approximately $167,000. Voters were unmoved: Massie won his May 2024 primary with roughly 76 percent of the vote, defeating two challengers and declaring on election night, “AIPAC, your smear campaign on this American has backfired.”

May 19, 2026 will deliver the most honest test we have seen. Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza, which the entire world saw via livestream, may have finally produced a growing anti-Zionist current among Republican voters in the United States. The question is whether the growing anti-Zionist sentiment can stand against Jewish billionaire money. Should Massie lose, the defeat will expose a brutal truth: American politics functions as a Jewish oligarch playground where elections are mere theater.

White House counterterror chief links Tucker Carlson to extremism
Sebastian Gorka has accused Carlson of joining the ranks of violent left-wing radicals

May 13, 2026

US President Donald Trump’s counterterrorism director has suggested that two of the president’s loudest critics – Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes – are considered potential left-wing threats by the White House.

The White House released its National Strategy for Counterterrorism last week, which labels “Narcoterrorists and Transnational Gangs, Legacy Islamist Terrorists, [and] Violent Left-Wing Extremists, including Anarchists and Anti-Fascists” as the three most pressing terror threats to the US.

The inclusion of “Violent Left-Wing Extremists” is no surprise, given that the strategy was released after three assassination attempts against Trump and the public execution of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, and after Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum NPSM-7 identified “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity” as indicators of potential “violent and terroristic activities.”

The report makes no mention of right-wing terrorism. However, a comment by its author, Sebastian Gorka, which flew under the radar last week, suggests that some of the president’s former allies are now considered national security threats.

Speaking to Breitbart editor Alex Marlow on Friday, Gorka was asked whether he regards “right-wing extremism” as “a threat at all.”

“I’m not sure that Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson are conservatives,” Gorka replied. “If you are lauding Sharia law, if you are saying that there are Muslim states that seem to be better qualitatively than America in terms of freedom and prosperity, I’m not sure that means you’re part of the conservative movement. So if you remove those individuals and you understand that they’re not conservatives, what’s left?”

Gorka’s comment implies that, stripped of their “conservative” credentials, Fuentes and Carlson are the kind of left-wing extremists that the Trump administration will target.

Nick Fuentes is a hardline nationalist and opponent of Trump, whose inflammatory comments – “Jews are running society, Women need to shut the f**k up, and Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part.” – saw him banned from every major social media platform in 2020. He has since been reinstated on X, and his daily livestreams sometimes draw hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Tucker Carlson is a former Fox News host and supporter of Trump, whose relationship with the president has soured in recent months over Trump’s apparent deference to Israel and the war on Iran.

What happened between Tucker Carlson and Trump?
Carlson was a vocal supporter and regular confidant of Trump during the president’s first term in office, and campaigned for his reelection in 2024. Carlson grew more critical of American support for Israel’s war in Gaza over the last two years, and publicly called on Trump not to take military action against Iran in June 2025, when Israel was waging its 12-Day War against the Islamic Republic.

Trump, who dismissed Carlson’s advice and ordered the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites, called Carlson “kooky,” but the two remained in regular contact.

However, the rift between the former Fox News host and the president reached its nadir when the US and Israel began striking Iran in late February, with Carlson calling the war “disgusting and evil,” and accusing Trump of doing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bidding by waging it.

Carlson hammered Trump for issuing a profane message to Iran on Easter Sunday, calling the president’s threat to target Iranian civilian infrastructure “vile on every level.”

“How dare you speak that way on Easter morning to the country?” Carlson said in a monologue on his podcast. “Who do you think you are? You’re tweeting out the f-word on Easter morning.”

Trump responded by declaring Carlson an enemy of the MAGA movement, describing him as a “flailing fool” who should “see a good psychiatrist.”

Who else has Trump fallen out with?
Trump has fallen out with several prominent right-wing media personalities over the war with Iran, including Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones. In a lengthy social media post in April, he called these figures “nut jobs” and “troublemakers” who “think it is wonderful for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to have a nuclear weapon.”

“They have one thing in common, low IQs,” he claimed. “They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!”

Carlson, Owens, and Nick Fuentes were all included in a top-ten list of “anti-Semite and anti-Zionist” influencers published by Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs in April. (my emphasis)

Gorka’s statement is not the first indication that Trump intends to turn the power of the state against some of his former supporters. The former head of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, is currently under FBI investigation for leaking classified information, after he resigned from his position in March and publicly denounced the war on Iran.
