„ @realDonaldTrump thinks like a businessman, he thinks deals, but Pootin thinks 100% the opposite [...] For Pootin, the war is more than a worldly matter, it’s something sacred, something he must do, and that’s why he sees Trump as a very simple guy.”

Day 2 of Ruch commentary: Judges typically disqualify themselves or from presiding over a case if their impartiality might reasonably be questioned, such as when a judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party. +
For example, if a judge or juror had been punished for professional malpractice, one might reasonably question whether the judge would be biased in favor of another individual accused of the same misconduct, or prejudiced against the accuser. +
In the Ruch matter, the “Presiding Officer,” Canon Jeff Weber, was reprimanded by the NC State Bar for such malpractice, including contempt of court, misleading a client about his disposition of her funds, and violating her confidentiality by disclosing privileged information to a third party. For related conduct, he was also suspended from practice before the local bankruptcy court for failing to obey the court’s orders. +

THE POTENTIAL OF RED BULL FOOTBALL | A thread 🧵

An analysis of Red Bull’s in possession principles through its relationship with

Diagonality

Dynamism

Distances

@Effmatch Image
Image
To understand Red Bull football we must first talk about distances.

Unlike most teams who spread out in possession Red Bull teams often prioritize shorter distances between players

Play is condensed in areas favorable for fast vertical progressions & efficient counter press
Traditional Red Bull formations.

Vertical, diagonal and horizontal compactness between units afforded by structures such as 4-2-2-2, 4-3-1-2 and 3-1-4-2

Small distances mean:

- creating central clusters in between the lines

- forward progressions & outplaying Image

1/12 We are so back!

Evil forces around the world have started to struggle in 2025, giving hope for a better future.

The tide is turning.

Let’s hope they struggle even more in 2026 Image
2/12 The last few years felt hopeless.

Dictators grew aggressive. Russia invaded Ukraine. China rose as a global power. Trump attempted a coup in 2021 and returned in 2024. Tech oligarchs gained influence.

Post-truth made everything worse Image
3/12 Enemies of the West exploited chaos.

Russia expanded aggression. China pushed harder. Trump betrayed allies. Musk and Thiel used power for profit while cutting aid that cost thousands of lives.

It was bleak Image

Yale has finally achieved liberal nirvana. According to a recent report from the Buckley Institute, there is now not a single Republican found across 27 of 43 departments at Yale University... jonathanturley.org/2025/12/21/stu…
...In a nation roughly evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats (with a slight advantage to the GOP), only 3 percent are Republicans across all Yale departments. In comparison, roughly 83% of faculty are registered Democrats or primarily support Democratic candidates...
...Nothing is likely to change so long as donors continue to blindly fund these programs and ignore the obvious intolerance for opposing views. For now, most Yale departments have succeeded in creating a safe space for the ideologically intolerant.

I made this post, in response to a mindless post by Elon Musk, claiming that 80% of under 18 year olds in Belgium, were foreigners, to aid his far right, racist agenda. I was attacked by his sycophants, all misrepresenting what I said and why.
1/🧵
My point was very simple. The right wing populists, white supremacists, centred in the US, are spreading their white replacement conspiracy theories and whipping up hatred of "foreigners", with no irony, that they are all descended from immigrants.
2/
Even in the UK, the white English nationalists, totally miss the irony, that their claimed pure ethnicity, is derived from Anglo-Saxon boat people immigrants, that swamped the Celts inhabiting Britain.

This pure ethnicity stuff is nonsense.

Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen says Putin entered the 2022 invasion fully calculated, but misread the West’s reaction.

Cohen: Putin planned the war in advance. Already sanctioned over Crimea and Georgia, he invaded Ukraine expecting tougher sanctions and accepted the cost. 1/
Cohen: Putin isn’t going anywhere. He’s a serious, smart leader with sharp calculations and a deep respect for intelligence.

Don’t expect regime change — he’s set to rule Russia until 2036.

2/
Cohen: Putin misread one thing — how the West would react once he physically entered Ukraine.

He challenged NATO’s warnings, crossed the border anyway, and triggered a real war. He’s serious, calculated and worth listening to.

🧵 THREAD: Two ratios. One message. Silver is still at the beginning. 🥈 Image
Image
1️⃣

If you want to know where we are in the cycle, don’t stare at spot price.
Watch ratios (for now).

Ratios show relative mispricing — and that’s where the big moves start.
2️⃣

Ratio #1: Silver / NASDAQ (SILVER/NDX)

This tells you:
“How much silver is worth compared to growth/tech mania.”

Right now?
This ratio is still near generational lows.

Bogdanovka - The Holocaust’s forgotten massacre
1/n
December 21, 1941: The Holocaust’s biggest mass shooting claimed 54,000 lives near a village in modern Ukraine — yet few have heard of it today. Image
2/n In December 1941, at a place called Bogdanovka in modern Ukraine, the largest shooting massacre of the Holocaust took place. Remarkably, it is an event barely known about in the English-speaking world. Bogdanovka, which today lies in Ukraine close to the River Bug, Image
3/n was then part of Transnistria, the area of Soviet Ukraine between the Dniester and Bug rivers that was occupied by Romania, which invaded the USSR alongside the German Wehrmacht in June that year.

Well, I just did a live video on the “Why” of the FBI removing donald’s name/images from the Epstein files, and I apparently didn’t do a setting where it would record and save?
Fuck it. I’ll go ahead and type it all out for you in a thread. Bear with me… /1
Do you really believe a reported 1000 or so FBI agents/personnel would comb through the mountains of evidence and gathered information on Jeffrey Epstein to meticulously remove any mention or appearance of donald trump - AND keep their collective mouths shut (meaning, no official whistleblower), if there weren’t an official policy they were following? /2
No. You don’t believe that. Even under Bondi and Patel’s leadership - and all their moral/ethical corruption, a thousand FBI employees are not going to do something that isn’t by the book.
So, how is this mass-redaction effort “by the book”? Well, it’s not because donald is POTUS. That’s not a thing.
But… as ‘ve been saying for a decade now… it is by the book to protect the confidential informant(s) involved in the case.
There are legal agreements with CIs to protect them, that the FBI must follow. Even if Congress passes a law, employees are doing their jobs - by their own book, to protect CIs and in this case, perform their jobs redactions without opening their mouths about it. There’s no whistleblower process either for agents/employees who are following official DOJ policy/rules.
Hence: no leaks on this.

As a fan of numbers I love how many sensors the Chinese put everywhere.

There’s decibel meters in the park. Temperature on every water dispenser. Congestion levels on metro. Occupied light over every train seat. But nothing beats this incredible public bathroom display. Image
Speed and temp in the train Image
Small occupied lights above the seat Image
