Trump's Second Term

Andy_Ross said:
The Trump administration has unveiled sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in a significant acceleration of its attempt to "dismantle" what it sees as a "rogue" institution.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the measures - which include a ban on US entities making transactions with the ICC - were intended to "defend US sovereignty" and accused the court of seeking to prosecute Americans...

The announcement came just hours after former ICC judge Navi Pillay was awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.

The US has already sanctioned 17 of the ICC's judges and officials, but this move sanctions the court itself as an institution and is intended to collapse its ability to operate financially...

Rubio said Trump would not allow the ICC to prosecute Americans, adding: "Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC."

US unveils sanctions on ICC in move court condemns as 'assault on rule of law'

Several member states of the international tribunal, including the UK, say they "strongly disagree" with the sanctions.

To be clear, the ICC is not currently threatening to prosecute any US citizens.

Of course those US citizens who ordered the murder of persons on the high seas, the murder of Iranian children, the murder of US citizens may be at risk in future; and presidential pardons don't work for the ICC (in fact the opposite).

Today the Nobel Committee shamed itself beyond repair and demeaned the once great Nobel Peace Prize by giving it to the UN’s Navi Pillay. Pillay is an unabashed hater of America and Israel. In her position she celebrated terrorists and rewarded Hamas. She conducted a phony “investigation” claiming to find that Israel committed genocide and urging prosecution. She has no credibility in any normal sphere and has never done a thing to foster peace. Just the opposite. But what could be expected from a committee that previously gave the once coveted peace prize to Yasser Arafat?
President Trump gave us the Abraham Accords, which the world said would be impossible and is now expanding them! He brought home the hostages when all seemed hopeless! He is making best efforts to end the Russia/Ukraine war, to stop Iran, the number one sponsor of international terrorism, and he is trying to rebuild Gaza despite the terrorists’ best efforts to control it. The list goes on and on. These are the kinds of things the Nobel Peace Prize was intended to recognize and reward!!!

Trump’s beef gamble isn’t paying off

Agriculture industry leaders who’ve traditionally backed Trump are pushing the president to roll back his import plan.
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

President Donald Trump gambled that importing more beef would lower prices enough to mitigate the political hit from angry ranchers.

His bet hasn't paid off.

Prices have barely budged, ranchers remain incensed, and vulnerable Republicans in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Texas are fighting to convince rural voters to turn out in November as farmers confront economic headwinds fueled by the president's policies.

"There's a lot of frustration and anger," said Glenn Brunkow, the president of the nonpartisan Kansas Farm Bureau and a fifth-generation farmer and stockman in deep-red Pottawatomie County.

This shows how pathetic and desperate they are. They've made life worse for everyone except the wealthy and need to find some distraction. Culture wars is all that they have.

I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter.
Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel.
Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!
Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority.
This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

How often does Trump call his handlers? What do they talk about. Where are the records?

So, if diesel prices don't come down it's the fault of your allies for not rolling over in the face of murderous Russian agression? Right?

Russia's total oil exports in 2023. Not refined diesel.

Transneft, which pumps 90% of Russian oil, reported that 2023 crude oil exports were:

  • China via pipeline 40 million tons; no change
  • Black Sea via tankers 30m tons; +3.1%
  • Baltic Primorsk via tankers 44.4m tons; +6.5%
  • Baltic Ust-Luga via tankers 34m tons; +9.0%
  • Pacific Kozmino via tankers 42.8m tons; +9.4%
  • Druzhba pipeline to Europe 10m tons; -60.0%
Trump is obviously lying.
