🇺🇸Here's what's behind the US shift on EU allies
The age of institutions is ending, the age of force is back.
Even invoking international law has become awkward.
Institutions look increasingly irrelevant as political and economic processes unfold demonstrably outside them.
This reaction is understandable.

7 Republicans join Dems to block major government funding package as shutdown looms
Senate Democrats stayed true to their threat by blocking a behemoth funding package, but in a surprising turn of events, they were joined by several Senate Republicans to derail the legislation.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus made it no secret that they would obstruct the government funding process over the last several days, demanding that Republicans strip the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill from the six-bill package.
But the defection of seven GOP lawmakers - Sens.
Ted Budd, R-N.C., Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Mike Lee, R- Utah, Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Rand Paul, R-Ky., Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala. - was an unexpected development on Thursday.

🇦🇿Mud volcano erupts with flames in Azerbaijan
A mud volcano erupted in the Hajigabul district on January 30 at 16:53 local time.
The eruption occurred at 16:53 local time and was recorded by seismic stations near the volcano, operated by the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences.
Data from the center's Dynamics of Earthquake Foci department indicate that the eruption lasted about 13 minutes and occurred in a single phase, News.Az reports, citing the Republican Seismic Service Center (RSSC). Seismologists said the eruption originated at a depth of around three kilometers, releasing an estimated 3.38 × 10⁶ joules of energy.
Earlier, local media reported a brief eruption at Mount Harami, located in the same district, on January 30.

BEST OF THE WEB: Bill & Hillary Clinton face prison for defying Epstein subpoena, their ties to trafficking exposed
Bill and Hillary Clinton will be facing prison time if Congress votes to hold them in contempt this week after defying a federal subpoena and refusing to give testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein inquiry.
The proof the Clintons were close with and working for Epstein and are involved in child trafficking and other sex crimes against children is overwhelming and the information is publicly available.
Before diving in, it's important for people to understand that sex trafficking and Satanic Ritualistic Abuse (SRA) often go hand-in-hand.
It's not uncommon for a sex slave to also be a victim of SRA — especially those trafficked in elite pedophile rings.

Tennessee electric company prioritizes DEI while 90k remain without power
Tom Pappert, lead reporter at The Tennessee Star, said Nashville Electric Service (NES) was discussing internal diversity initiatives even as tens of thousands of customers remained without power following Winter Storm Fern.
On Thursday's edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show, as more than 86,000 NES customers were without power, Pappert reported that a draft board agenda from the Wednesday, January 28 meeting showed NES considering whether to renew a consulting contract focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). "Nashville Electric Service is under scrutiny across the nation because they have up to 90,000 now, people still without power five days after an ice storm.
And what were they discussing?

Tucker Carlson slams Tim Walz and Jacob Frey for 'orchestrating a color revolution'
Tucker Carlson warns that Tim Walz and Mayor Frey are deliberately fueling chaos to spark a "color revolution." He asks: "Why would a state refuse to protect American citizens from murder, refuse to give the names or whereabouts of murderers and child molesters, and refuse to use its own cops to keep riots under control?
What could possibly be the answer?" "Because they want riots, that's why," Carlson answered.

Barack Obama will be shipped off to Guantanamo Bay any day now.
MS-13 murdered Seth Rich, probably at the DNC's behest.
Special counsel Robert Mueller isn't investigating the Donald Trump campaign - he's actually investigating the Clintons, and Trump's helping.

FLASHBACK: Ben Swann: The only mainstream TV anchor investigating Pizzagate
Proving once again to be arguably the most fearless mainstream journalist in America, Ben Swann delves into the Pizzagate conspiracy.
Pizzagate began as a crowdsourced investigation of elite-connected pedophilia after Redditors noticed strange code words being used in the Podesta emails released by WikiLeaks.
Initially, internet sleuths set out researching the Podesta emails to prove a pedophilia connection between convicted sex offender, Jeffery Epstein, and the Clintons.
Bill Clinton is known to have traveled on Epstein's private jet, nicknamed the "Lolita Express," without Secret Service protection on numerous occasions - a seemingly suspicious move given Epstein's proclivity for sex with underage girls.

FLASHBACK: Why is Pizzagate so far-fetched when proven pedophilia is disgustingly common among those in power?
Why is it so hard to believe congressmen in Washington wouldn't be delving into the disgusting realms of pedophilia?
Pizzagate, the fabled rumor of child sex slaves being held in Washington, DC pizzerias caused quite a controversy in late 2016.
But as we embark into 2017, the idea of those in power participating in this gruesome habit is not far-fetched at all.
In fact, as we will show, it's disgustingly common.

BEST OF THE WEB FLASHBACK: Pedogate 2020: Documentary Explores Possible Links Between 'American Elite', Satanic Symbolism and Pedophilia
Part 3 of an ongoing documentary series - 'Pedgogate 2020', created and published by 'Mouthy Buddha' - was released on August 24th.
We're publishing it here along with Part 1 (released April 14th this year) and Part 2 (released on June 1st). So-called investigative reporting on 'pedophilia in high places' rarely meets the threshold of 'reasonable speculation' - whatever about generating reliable and factual information.
However, we find this particular series useful because the creator is cautious about his claims, aware that this avenue of research is a veritable 'hall of mirrors', and is proactively reporting his more solid findings to law enforcement.

BEST OF THE WEB FLASHBACK: Trump's fight against child sex trafficking a possible reason for the staunch opposition against him
The shadow government led by former President Barack Obama is working overtime to delegitimize President Donald Trump and his administration.
They've accused and even set up Trump's people to tie his administration to "evil" Russia and now Trump's alleging that Obama tapped his phones.
There's never been such a concerted effort in modern history, if ever, to overthrow a democratically elected U.S. president by not only the Democrats but by some Republicans aka RINOS as well.
The bigger question is why are they so desperately trying to stage this coup and sabotage his presidency?

Astronomers spot 'time-warped' supernovas whose light both has and hasn't reached Earth
Will two rare supernovas finally tell us how fast the universe is expanding?
Perhaps, but we'll have to wait for it for them to 'reappear'. Two incredibly rare supernovas that erupted billions of years ago provide a unique opportunity to explain cosmology's biggest mystery — How fast is the universe expanding?
But there's a twist: Even though astronomers have already observed these exploding stars, we will have to wait up to 60 years for their light to reach us again.
A phenomenon called gravitational lensing has split the light from these obliterated stars into multiple images, each of which travels a different path through space-time to reach us.

🇮🇷🇵🇸West's hypocrisy over Iran and Gaza proves a regime-change operation in Tehran
The United States and the European Union are vehemently condemning Iran over alleged repression, while the West says nothing about the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
The contradiction, of course, exposes the West's rank hypocrisy.
It also confirms that Iran is the target of a Western regime-change operation.
U.S. President Donald Trump this week repeated his threat to launch a blitzkrieg on Iran, bragging that an armada led by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier was in place to strike.

FLASHBACK: Flashback NY Jewish institutions hit with 150 child sex abuse lawsuits since 2019
At least 150 child sex abuse lawsuits were filed against Jewish institutions in New York over the past two years, under a special law that temporarily lifted the statute of limitations barring old claims, according to an analysis of the New York court system by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
This look-back window for reviving allegations was created by the Child Victims Act of 2019 and it led to a dramatic wave of lawsuits that peaked just ahead of the August 14, 2021 deadline.
Survivors took advantage of the CVA window to file nearly 11,000 civil suits against individuals and institutions, according to data provided by the New York's Office of Court Administration.
