What the Media Isn't Telling Us About the Nvidia Scandal
When Nvidia’s board of directors forced out co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang on November 12, 2026, mainstream headlines immediately seized on the salacious details. Television panels and front-page stories framed the downfall of Silicon Valley’s most celebrated executive as a classic tale of personal hubris: a married tech titan undone by two extramarital affairs—one with Nvidia healthcare executive Kimberly Powell, and another with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based businesswoman whom U.S. intelligence officials suspect of working for Beijing.

How an Overvalued Dollar Sank U.S. Naval Power
At the close of World War II, the United States possessed the most formidable maritime industrial base in human history. During the war, the United States launched thousands of vessels that secured global trade routes and projected power across every ocean. Today, that industrial might has virtually vanished. While East Asian shipbuilders—specifically China, South Korea, and Japan—have surged to dominate the seas, American shipbuilding has withered into a fraction of a percent of global output.

The private militia that grant states plausible deniability
Your life is like a schedule, you run to meet the bills, no one's awake to tell you... life kills! Words I first heard as my life was reaching the final furlong on the first of the rank of treadmills we’re thrust upon to keep us from questioning the fruitlessness of our struggle to survive... until the curtain finally comes down somewhere on the retirement stage.

It's Time to Stop the Lawless Killing in the Caribbean
For more than a year, the waters of the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean have been turned into a unilateral firing range. Under the banner of a Pentagon campaign named Operation Southern Spear, the United States military has systematically hunted down and destroyed small vessels in international waters, executing hundreds of people on the mere suspicion of drug smuggling. These lethal attacks, carried out without arrest, trial, or public evidence, represent a profound abandonment of the rule of law and amount to state-sanctioned murder on the high seas.

Why It's Time to Formally Audit America's Gold
In 2013, Germany asked the United States to return 300 metric tons of German gold. Germany had stored the gold in New York during the Cold War, to keep it safe in the event of a Russian attack. The U.S. Federal Reserve informed Germany that the gold wasn't available. The Americans told the Germans that they could have their gold back seven years later, in 2020. The Federal Reserve blamed the delay on logistical challenges and verification requirements.

Shall We Make a Broth of the Lame Duck?
Now that the duck is lame and the little duckling stumbles over the droppings he has scattered everywhere, we should reflect on how it was possible for a man already reduced to America's laughingstock, as he was at the start of the last presidential lesson, to overturn in a few weeks the enormously disadvantageous position he was in, despite his dreadful gaffes, the unconstitutionality of his own proposals, his blatant disinformation, and the indisputable superiority of the alternative. Everything changed, as anyone who followed events will remember, from one day to the next, with the entry into the field of Elon Musk, who backed the Republican candidate with all his channels of communication, pouring millions upon millions into the election of the Tycoon.
