“The Trump administration is expected to purchase $400 million worth of armored Tesla vehicles, according to a new State Department document detailing procurement for fiscal year 2025”— NPR

How lucky are we ordinary Americans to be living in the Age of Trump? Our president is sticking it to the globalist elites by giving the world’s wealthiest man a huge government contract. What a far cry from the days of Democrat corruption. It’s like we were living in darkness, only to emerge into this bright and blinding light where we literally refuse to see what’s in front of our eyes.

Seeing Pete Hegseth running around in Europe like he’s a serious person is hard to take but we have to put up with him. His pronouncements about NATO and Ukraine are pretty shocking but they come directly from Trump so you can’t really blame him. Reporter Josh Rogin had a good analysis on CNN of Trump’s “deal making” yesterday that I think is interesting: The problem is that that creates a series of events that‘s now going to unfold that could have drastic and negative consequences for both Ukraine and the U.S., not to mention Europe. And what I mean by that is that the way that they‘re setting up this negotiation by dealing with Putin first and Zelenskyy second, and trying to negotiate away Ukrainian territory and Ukrainian aspirations without talking to the Ukrainians, in my view, is destined to fail.

Sen. Tim Scott took millions from banks and said exorbitant customer fees “should not be disturbing or illegal.” Now he’s overseeing financial agencies and trying to reinstate junk fees.

Tesla recently said diversity, equity, and inclusion were integrated “into the DNA of our company.” Then Musk flipped after legal actions.

Under President Trump’s bold leadership, his administration is ushering in a new era of financial transparency in government. I’ve long wondered where my tax dollars are going but haven’t bothered to do the five minutes of research it would take to learn that all that information is already meticulously documented and tracked in numerous publicly available reports and websites.

Trump has taken decisive, possibly illegal action to fund a billionaire and his tech bro protégés to uncover information that is already available for free to anyone who wants to see it at any time. Now, information about nearly every dollar the government spends will be publicly available to every American citizen, as it has been for decades.

Idag presenterades LO:s årliga rapport om inkomstskillnader i vårt land — Makteliten: i raketfart från verkligheten. Den visar att näringslivets direktörslöner fortsätter att dra ifrån rejält och idag ligger på en historiskt hög nivå. Den genomsnittliga inkomsten för vd:arna vid de 50 största svenska företagen motsvarade år 2023 mer än 70 industriarbetarlöner. Men för vår […]

The Gaza ceasefire (if you can even call it that) is already in grave peril. Hamas has announced that it will be postponing the release of any more Israeli hostages in response to repeated ceasefire violations by Israel and consistent failure to meet its terms of the agreement. The IDF has been routinely killing Palestinians Continue reading »

Peter Dutton says he wants to increase government efficiency, but beyond wanting to cut public service numbers, he won’t tell us how until after the election. We all want government to be more efficient – to deliver higher quality government services and enforce well-designed and targeted regulations at the lowest cost. But mindless, ideological cutting Continue reading »

The ABC’s Andrew  Greene has found an Australian link to Chinese AI platform DeepSeek, a Chinese national who holds post-graduate degrees from Monash University and the University of Adelaide. No surprise, ASPI is lurking in the background of the sinister allegations against an Australian educated PhD, while that researcher, Dr. Zizheng Pan, is hiding in Continue reading »

The depth of Australia’s slide into an irrelevant and untrustworthy minnow on the global stage was demonstrated when distinguished UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese described the Australian prime minister’s refusal to criticise Donald Trump’s plan to turn Gaza into a neo-colonial capitalist venture for the benefit of his family and friends, as “pathetic”. Her justifiable Continue reading »

Never has there been a greater need for Australia to turn away from its military alliance with the United States and forge an independent and peaceful foreign policy. This would necessarily mean an alternative self-reliant defence policy and the forging of friendly and mutually beneficial relations with the fraternity of non-aligned/neutral nations. Even before the Continue reading »

Editorial from the March 2025 print edition of Byline Times

The low regard in which the Global West is held is intensifying. The second Trump administration is not the cause of this. It is simply accelerating this ominous process by openly embracing a lawless, imperial contempt for primary international and metropolitan governance rules, norms and conventions in response to the persistent retreat of American global Continue reading »
