Oppsummering av gårsdagens møte mellom USA og Russland. We agreed to: Establish a consultation mechanism to address irritants to our bilateral relationship with the objective of taking steps necessary to normalize the operation of our respective diplomatic missions. Appoint respective high-level teams to begin working on a path to ending the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible in a way that is enduring, sustainable, and acceptable to all sides. Lay the groundwork for future cooperation on matters of mutual geopolitical interest and historic economic and investment opportunities which will emerge from a successful end to the conflict in Ukraine. The parties to today’s meetings pledge to remain engaged to make sure the process moves forward in a timely and productive manner.

Senate advances Patel's FBI nomination to final vote, setting up confirmation for later this week The Senate on Tuesday night voted to end debate on President Donald Trump's pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, advancing in nomination to a final vote by the end of the week. Da ligger Kash an til å bli bekreftet i senatet senere i uka. Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel. RFKjr, Pete Hegseth. Tom Homan, Stephen Miller, Elon Musk. Dems not happy.

Hva gjorde Biden feil?

Er ikke det ganske naturlig da etter Chevron?

Ja. Er hvertfall han som leder på det siste jeg har sett av poll for noen uker siden.

Så da kan det også holdes valg før okkupantene er kastet ut?

Jeg bruker bare samme argumentasjon som deg. Hvis det vistnok er å krenke noen rettsigheter å utøve en still bønn for seg selv i nærheten av der folk ferdes, så er det jo logisk at det samme også vil gjelde andre steder.

Hva om de aldri klarer å tømme de okkuperte områdene for okkupanter?

Du kan bytte ut "abortklinikk" med en rekke andre bygg. En still bønn i nærheten av en skole vil krenke elevers rett til skolegang, en still bønn i nærheten av biltilsynet vil krenke folks rett til å ta teoriprøven, en stille bønn i nærheten av en kirke eller moskee vil krenke folks rett til religionsutøvelse, en stille bønn i nærheten av et legekontor vil krenke folks rett til legehjelp, you name it.. For det er det vi snakker. En still bønn som krenker noen. Ikke oppsøkende, hindrende eller forstyrrende aktivitet.

Det er jo på et såpass tidlig stadie enda at de har jo ikke begynt med noe som ligner forhandlinger enda. I dag har jo omtrent bare vært en sondering for å finne noe av det de skal snakke om fremover.. (som heller ikke nødvendigvis har noe direkte med krigen å gjøre riktig enda, men f.eks hvordan opprettre diplomatiske forhold og slik)

Tja, White House er ikke helt enig ser det ut til.. In his role as a Senior Advisor to the President, Mr. Musk har no greater authority than other senior White House advisors. Like other senior White House advisors, Mr. Musk has no actual or formal authority to make government decisisions himself. Mr. Musk can only advice the President and communicate the President's directive. Elon Musk “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself”—including personnel decisions at individual agencies. He is an employee of the White House Office (not USDS or the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization); and he only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives, like other senior White House officials. Moreover, Defendants are not aware of any source of legal authority granting USDS or the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization the power to order personnel actions at any of the agencies listed above [the Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Energy, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Commerce].

Elbridge Colby Is The Right Man To Carry Out Trump’s America First Mandate President Trump was elected with a mandate — a mandate to rethink the core assumptions of Washington, D.C., that have led this country to disaster after disaster. A mandate to put America first instead of last. To fulfill his mandate, the president needs to be able to make the appointments of his choosing without being sabotaged by the members of his own party that he carried to victory in November. Yet right now, a fight has broken out over the nomination of Elbridge Colby to be undersecretary of defense for policy, the top strategy official at the Pentagon. Make no mistake: This is a make-or-break moment for whether Donald Trump’s America First foreign policy will succeed — or even happen. Colby is being attacked precisely because his opponents recognize he is the most effective and able person to put Trump’s America First approach into effect. He must be confirmed and empowered. Who is Colby? Colby has an establishment background. But don’t be fooled: He has been arguing against the disastrous Bush-Cheney foreign policy regime since he was in college. Colby instead embraces a foreign policy of genuine peace through strength, one that avoids wars while protecting our authentic interests, gets our allies to do their part, and focuses on the top threats to Americans rather than irrelevant distractions. Look back over Colby’s written record, and you will see that he was arguing for Trump’s America First approach long before it was popular — in fact, before Trump himself even arrived on the political scene. Colby paid the price for his advocacy, repeatedly losing out on high-powered jobs he could have easily received if he’d been willing to play along with the D.C. consensus. Dettte er en relativt viktig posisjon. Ikke alle GOP-senatorer er vistnok interessert i stemme på han, men gjenstår å se om noen av de som hittil har stemt ja på andre nominasjoner også fortsetter med det..

Nei.

Hva er det som gjør den så sentral?

Nei, han jobber i White House som non-career Special Government Employee (basically en seniorrådgiver). Det er tema i en pågående sak hvor 14 blå stater har gått til sak mot DOGE nettopp bl.a. fordi de mener Musk er "officer" og derfor er underlagt Appointments loven (senatbekreftelse). Dommeren gikk (overraskende) ikke med noen midlertidig forføyning, så går som en normal sak.

Baerbock chips: Billions for Ukraine after the election The EU actually wanted to keep the arms project secret until after the Bundestag election. But Annalena Baerbock let the cat out of the bag. The EU appears together a billionaire package to purchase war equipment for Ukraine. Bloomberg reports: “European government officials are working on a new, comprehensive package to increase defense spending and support Kiev, while President Donald Trump is pushing for a quick end to the war in Ukraine.” It seems to be known in EU circles that this is a sensitive plan. Bloomberg: “The expenditure plans will only be held after the German election on 23 September. However, Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock argued and once gave an insight into the size. Baerbock suggested that it could be about 700 billion euros: “We will launch a large package that has never been in this dimension,” said Baerbock in an interview with Bloomberg on the fringes of the Munich meeting. "Similar to the euro or the coorona crisis, there is now a financial package for security in Europe. This will come in the near future.”

Scholz er vist nok en gang irritert over alt dette peacekeepersnakket. Germany’s Scholz: It’s ‘inappropriate’ to discuss sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine German Chancellor Olaf Scholz expressed frustration at the discussion around sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine shortly after leaving a crucial meeting with European leaders on Monday. Scholz said he was "annoyed" by the debate around sending peacekeeping forces to Ukraine after the war is over, arguing that it is "highly inappropriate" to discuss it before a peace plan is decided upon.

Tyrkia er jo også sikkert en part som kunne ha meglet i en forhandling.

Det er nok en viss forskjell. Oppsigelser er i all hovedsak fra WH og departementene/byråene selv, men det er jo ikke sikkert at disse heller har stålkontroll på alt som foregår.. DOGE styrer mest med DEI, wastefull spendings/innkjøp/kontrakter og effektivisering/optimalisering, og gjør heller ikke noe på egenhånd uten først å forhøre seg med WH eller andre relevante personer. De poster det meste på x.com/DOGE, evt. doge.gov. På papiret høres nok CMMI bra ut, men kritikken har vært at det i realiteten har ført til det stikk motsatte og de har endt opp med bare å bli et eksempel på government waste og byråkrati, men det finnes også sikkert gode program som kan videreføres.

Utrolig hva denne tråden kan avdekke, men jeg er ikke spesielt pro-life. Mulig du blander DOGE og Trumps team. For halvannen time siden ble det avsluttet en høring om en midlertidig forføyning mot DOGE, men det var vistnok dårlig bevis for at DOGE har sparket noen som helst. Slike ting bør jo etterlate seg en "papertrail" som det ble sagt. Hva synes du om kritikken mot CMMI? Er den valid? No Tears for CMMI Americans Deserve to Get a Better Value From CMMI

Zelensky said that the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant should become part of security guarantees The head of state during a video communication with Ukrainian journalists stressed наголосив,that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant should become part of security guarantees for our country. “These are important conditions. The station is not working today. She won't work without us. And we will produce electricity, supply our (consumers - ed.) and sell to Europe," he said. He pointed out that all Ukrainian partners say that if it were not for nuclear energy, Ukraine would "won all winters would lose, and we would have a disaster."

Jo det er de. Du får begynne med å gjøre litt research på The March of Time serien, episode 7.13: Peace - by Adolf Hitler. Du kan begynne med å se noen outtakes på Holocausmuseet: March of Time -- outtakes -- LaGuardia and anti-war protests (staged). Evt. kan du se hele filmen her (med britisk IP), scenen forekommer fra 5:39 til 5:58 og et par sekunder mot slutten. Det er flere staged scener fra USA i den, noe som heller ikke var spesielt uvanlig i TMOT serien. That said, det forekom også flere ekte nazimarsjer i USA andre halvdel av 30-tallet, hvorfor ikke bruke noen bilder fra ekte historiske hendelser?

Scenene er staged. Hvorfor heller kke bruke noen ekte historiske bilder i stedet hvis du så godt husker typene?

Bildene er staged. Skal du komme med "vi husker din type" til noen så får du i det minste bruke noen ekte scener, det er nok av de der ute - behøver ikke ty til regisserte scener.

Du må snart slutte å bruke disse bildene. De er ikke det du tror de er.
