All the Way..

On the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz endorsed Israel's attack on Iran in an interview with public broadcaster ZDF. He said, “This is the dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us. I can only say that I have the utmost respect for the Israeli army and the Israeli leadership for having had the courage to do this.”
In another interview with the ARD public broadcaster, Merz advocated violent regime change in Tehran. “It would be good if this regime came to an end,” he said. If the Iranian regime is not prepared to enter into talks,  
This regime is very weakened and will probably not return to its former strength, making the future of the country uncertain. We will have to wait and see,” he says.  

He adds that the Europeans’ offer of diplomatic assistance, should talks resume, still stands as it did before the attacks.  

“If a new situation were to arise, Germany, France and the United Kingdom would again be prepared to provide diplomatic assistance, as they were until last Thursday,” he says.

New..

A team of chemical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has invented a new process to separate crude oil components, potentially bringing forward a replacement that can cut its harmful carbon pollution by 90%.

The original technique, uses heat to separate crude oil into gasoline, diesel, and heating oil.

Instead of boiling mixtures to purify them, why not separate components based on shape and size?" said Zachary P. Smith, associate professor of chemical engineering at MIT and senior author of the study, per Interesting Engineering.

The team invented a polymer membrane that divides crude oil into its various uses like a sieve.

The new process follows a similar strategy used by the water industry for desalination, which uses reverse osmosis membranes and has been around since the 1970s.

Frugal..

Mitzi Perdue, the double-heiress of Sheraton hotels and Perdue farms, grew up wearing hand-me-downs and getting a public education. 

She’s quick to draw her Purse strings by flying economy, riding the subway, and living in a modest apartment despite sitting on a fortune from two billion-dollar American businesses.  

The 84-year-old has access to a trust from her family’s billion-dollar business, alongside the wealth from the Perdue empire. Yet she still lives just like anybody else: taking her shoes to the cobbler instead of buying new ones, riding the subway, flying economy, and living in a modest apartment instead of a house.

Perdue has lived a double life, having access to immense privilege and money from two business empires, while holding down a regular job and living frugally.

Circle..

 Anderson Cooper has hired a reputed Hollywood “super agent” — a sign that the CNN anchor, said to be pulling down an annual salary of $18 million, may exit the struggling cable network amid looming cost cuts.

Cooper, the 58-year-old son of the late fashion designer and railroad heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, is ditching his longtime agent United Talent Agency in favor of Creative Artists Agency and its top deal broker Bryan Lourd.

News of Cooper’s move was reported on Tuesday morning by the news sites Semafor and Variety. A CNN spokesperson declined to comment. CAA has also declined to comment.

That salary seems too much for anyone's opinion provided during Trump's 4 years and 4 months of his presidency.

broker..

President Donald Trump remains – at least publicly – reluctant to plunge the US into another Mideast war and has continued to distance himself from the violence.

One US official told CNN that Trump rejected an Israeli plan to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the US president is himself insisting that, far from entering the conflict, he is determined to broker an end to it.

“Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, referring to his intervention last month in a brief confrontation between the two South Asian nuclear neighbors over the disputed territory of Kashmir.

The man himself to broker the peace talk between the parties.  Just a thought 

Riots..

If you need proof that the media never intended to tell you the truth about former President Joe Biden’s physical and mental decline, look no further than their coverage of the riots in Los Angeles.

 The unlawful assembly was declared within hours of when the violence first broke out way back on June 6 when the rioters and arsonists initially clashed with federal officers. 

City law enforcement officials deployed tear gas and other crowd control methods that evening in an attempt to disperse the mob. 

Not long afterward, Los Angeles issued a citywide tactical alert, alerting the city’s officers of an all-hands event.

Note that all of this occurred before President Trump had called up the National Guard.

The city’s comically inept mayor, Karen Bass, imposed a curfew and declared a local emergency on June 10.

I bit some couldn't start a fire in their own countries.  Just a thought.

Tanks U..

 

Toward the end of May, Switzerland moved forward with the sale of 71 Leopard 1A5 tanks to Germany on the condition that they would not be transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The decision seeks to maintain Switzerland’s long-standing position of neutrality, although it represents a shift from previous years’ stricter stance, which had completely opposed such a transaction. 

The move has already been approved by the Swiss Federal Council, the country’s seven-member executive body, which argued that the sale, under these conditions, does not violate Switzerland’s policy of not supplying weapons to countries involved in armed conflicts.

What a decision!!  Just a thought 

Investigated..

The ABC is investigating “serious allegations” that its defense correspondent Andrew Greene filed a story about a German shipbuilder without disclosing that he had traveled to Germany courtesy of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, which is hoping to win Australian navy contracts.

Media Watch revealed that Greene filed a story last week for ABC radio’s The World Today about how business is booming at German shipyards. The report, which has since been taken down, allegedly failed to disclose that the journalist had been a guest of the defense company.

“These are serious allegations, and the ABC is investigating them,” a spokesperson for ABC News said.
