An auction to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge ended with just 10 percent of the available land claimed for oil development.

The forthcoming order echoes President Trump’s decision to repeal executive orders that have protected other public lands from vehicles for decades.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced his administration's latest attempt to prop up the US coal industry during an incoherent press event that randomly oscillated between energy issues and Trump's fixation with building and renovating monuments in DC. The energy portion of the events was also frequently disconnected from reality.

"Today we're taking historic action to bring down the price of energy and the cost of living for all Americans with the power of clean, beautiful coal," said Trump, apparently unaware that coal is one of the most expensive means of generating electricity in the US.

With wind and solar power getting cheaper, coal has become the second-most expensive way of producing electricity, trailing only the cost of building a new nuclear plant. As a result, no new coal plants have been completed in over a decade, and coal has gone from powering over half the electrical grid to producing only about 15 percent of the nation's electricity. That's before the indirect costs of coal use are considered. It produces the most greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy, releases dangerous particulates and chemicals into the atmosphere, and leaves behind ash that has high levels of toxic metals.

L’administration de Donald Trump a récemment annoncé son intention de démanteler le vaste réseau océanographique Ocean Observatories Initiative. Ce dispositif, pourtant crucial pour l’étude du climat et des océans, pourrait ainsi perdre l’essentiel de ses instruments de mesure d’ici 2027. Une...

US president announces plans for two new coal plants, in Alaska and West Virginia, using Defense Production Act

Donald Trump is using wartime presidential authority to hand $700m to coal-fired power plants in the US, the latest move by the president to bolster what he called “clean, beautiful coal”, despite it being the dirtiest of fossil fuels.

“Today, we’re taking historic action to bring down the price of energy and the cost of living for all Americans with the power of clean, beautiful coal,” he said at a press conference on Thursday.

The 27-nation European Union outlined how it hopes to expand the region’s data centers, semiconductors and cloud computing capabilities.

President Donald Trump portrayed himself on his own Truth Social platform as Jesus Christ, but as both a warmonger and a healer of the sick. In reality he is antichrist. Perhaps he was possessed of Lucifer on March 19th as expected by some Jewish rabbis as their Messiah.

Sin abounds in the world today and the majority of Christians do not recognise it. Satan is out in the world and his deceptions are in full sway over the nations especially the evangelicals in the US states supporting wars against innocent civilians who did nothing to America.

Satan has transformed his agents into ministers of light representing themselves as apostles, prophets, ministers and pastors to deceive and influence the powerful ones like President Donald Trump. These deceitful workers are, in fact, wolves in Christian clothing pushing for Satan’s goal of all out world war.

Satire piece on President Trump stopping all wars and bringing peace to the world. For that he should be given the Nobel peace prize.

President Trump posted on his Truth Social account that all vaccines are poisons. But it is hard to believe that he is waking up to this truth since he just hosted the big tech and big pharma barons at a state dinner at the White House and praised them up.

US President Trump's bombing of Iranian nuclear sites has escalated tensions, risking a regional war and potentially a global conflict. His actions have drawn criticism, with claims of betrayal from his supporters and warnings of dire consequences.

The Friday the 13th surprise unprovoked attack of the US and Israel on Iran may have woken the sleeping giants around the world. But it certainly exposed US President Donald Trump who is now acting like the AntiChrist.

The sovereignty of God over earthly rulers and the inevitable accountability of all leaders, including Trump and Netanyahu, for their actions is discussed. The importance of humility, prayer for innocents in conflict areas, and living by Christ's teachings, avoiding pride and vengeance, while trusting in divine justice is the only way.

The analysis of the gold-to-silver price ratio reveals a significant "Trump Effect," noted after the November 2024 election, indicating a correlation between rising ratios and impending recessions. Updated data shows that the "velocity" of this ratio suggests an approaching major depression, supported by historical trends.

Global depopulation efforts are driven by elites through vaccines, wars, disease, and digital surveillance. Characters like Donald Trump and Elon Musk are part of a deceptive agenda linked to the WEF Great Reset, aimed at resetting the global financial system and turning the world into a giant digital prison.

The gold-to-silver price ratio serves as an indicator of economic instability, fluctuating significantly during recessions and major events such as the Great Depression and WWII. Recent data suggests a potential approaching Depression, highlighted by observed "velocity" changes in the ratio, particularly following the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

Rafi Farber's predictions for gold and silver prices, based on historical exponential breakouts from the late 1970s, are shown. Following Trump's election, both metals saw significant price drops. But now they are back on trend tracking above initial predictions, with speculative upper bounds indicated for future movements.

I assert that true power lies with the unseen puppet masters, controlling both political parties and elections through financial influence. I connect contemporary struggles to biblical references, urging a focus on faith rather than earthly leaders like Trump.
