Ignoring laws, too, in the context of a declining empire and economy, only exacerbates uncertainties. They will produce policy failures and reversals in 2026 similar to those the Trump regime suffered in 2025. Already well underway, the decline sweeps away the few obstacles still in its path. Its economic, political, and cultural power already reduced, a desperate US turns on its erstwhile allies, semi-colonies, and remaining trading partners seeking tribute to offset its decline. Only its global military power seems still formidable. Yet there too, the Russian-Chinese alliance and its BRICS allies are catching up quickly.
Not sure which Netflix flick Richard Wolff is watching: The Jewish American Empire is expanding, morphing, transitioning…
Made for Each Other! One was denied a visa to enter Europe and America for ten years for killing 2000 Muslims in 2 days in Gujarat, and the other one has an active arrest warrant by the ICC for committing war crimes in killing 75,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Elizabeth Warren came onto social media to feed her dumb liberal followers this pleasant-sounding cliché about “No war with Iran,” then, a couple of hours later, gave Trump a standing ovation during the most militant part of his speech about war with Iran. Classic Democrat.
Never forget Warren’s standing ovation for Trump when he said “America will never be a socialist country” in 2019.
Right before 9/11, a small group of investors made large bets that United and American Airlines stocks were about to fall….
One New York hedge fund reportedly bought up about a third of those bets.
Federal investigators never publicly released the fund’s name. Duh? Jewish-run!
Oh, Richard, I know you are a Jew, and you’d never accept the Inside Job narrative, the Mossad a la Neo-Con Jew Americans in on this!
Richard Richard Richard. Israel, man, is the monster, and the USA is the belly. The third belly.

Fair play, no Richard, with the synagogues?

Yeah, Richard, stick to the Ivory Tower. Hmm, a billion plus people, dude.
I’m in Israel on a short visit and had the honor of being invited to watch Indian Prime Minister
It was powerful to witness the strength of the bond and friendship between India and the State of Israel, and the deep support Israel continues to receive from friends around the world.

Fleas dream of buying themselves a dog, and nobodies dream of escaping poverty: that one magical day good luck will suddenly rain down on them–will rain down in buckets. But good luck doesn’t rain down yesterday, today, tomorrow, or ever. Good luck doesn’t even fall in a fine drizzle, no matter how hard the nobodies summon it, even if their left hand is tickling, or if they begin the new day with their right foot, or start the new year with a change of brooms.
The nobodies: nobody’s children, owners of nothing. The nobodies: the no ones, the nobodied, running like rabbits, dying through life, screwed every which way.
Who are not, but could be. Who don’t speak languages, but dialects. Who don’t have religions, but superstitions. Who don’t create art, but handicrafts. Who don’t have culture, but folklore. Who are not human beings, but human resources. Who do not have faces, but arms. Who do not have names, but numbers. Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the police blotter of the local paper. The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them.
Richard Wolf, come on:
Israel has dropped 85,000 tonnes of bombs on Gaza. More than the firebombing of Dresden. More than the London Blitz. More destructive than “Little Boy” in Hiroshima.
This is not warfare, but genocide through total extermination.
But the fucking Talmudists, man, upon his death: Jesse Jackson helped legitimize the antisemitism poisoning America today – opinion
Said the Jerusalem Post: “In legitimizing high-brow and low-brow antisemitism, he strengthened the ideological foundation triggering today’s multi-dimensional Jew-hating storm, uniting anti-Zionism with antisemitism.”
Oh, Richard. Former Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak used the Boko Haram threat to pilot an Israeli facial recognition scanning program in Nigeria, while Jeffrey Epstein facilitated oil and logistics deals.

There they go again, trying to out militarize Trump.
Today, the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) announced its endorsement of Rep. Abigail Spanberger for Governor of Virginia. This endorsement follows JDCA’s successful efforts to mobilize voters in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race earlier this month.
Rep. Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia, responded:
“At a time when we are seeing a rise in hate – and violence – directed at our Jewish neighbors across our Commonwealth and the United States, we must continue to stand with and defend Jewish communities to combat hatred and antisemitism in all forms. As governor, I will always work to ensure that Virginia is a place where all families can feel safe and thrive,” said Spanberger. “I’m grateful for the Jewish Democratic Council of America’s work to combat antisemitism, defend Virginians’ civil liberties, and protect our democracy. I am thankful to have their support to serve as the next Governor of Virginia.”
JDCA CEO Halie Soifer said the following:
“We are thrilled to endorse Abigail Spanberger to be the next Governor of Virginia. JDCA previously endorsed Congresswoman Spanberger three times in her House elections because she is a champion for the issues of importance to Jewish voters. As governor, she will stand up for working families, defend democracy, fight against antisemitism and extremism, and make Virginia safer for Jews and all Virginians. The Jewish vote can shape the outcome of this election, and we plan to mobilize voters to elect Rep. Spanberger this November.
“This race will be among the most important of 2025, and we see Americans increasingly rejecting Donald Trump and Republicans’ attacks on our democracy, freedoms, rights, and economic opportunities. From the next six months, JDCA will engage Jewish voters across Virginia in support of Abigail Spanberger to ensure she wins in November.”
If 53 purposely deleted pages of Epstein files alleging Trump physically & sexually abused a 13-year-old aren’t enough for his immediate resignation, I don’t know what is.
Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet…
It reads: “Iran is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.”
The Mexican Defense Minister, General Ricardo Trevilla Trejo, stated that 80% of the 23,000 weapons seized from criminal cartels during the current government’s term in power came from the USA, and the remaining 20% came from Israel.
On Tuesday evening, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind, seriously ill Rohingya refugee from Burma who does not speak English, was found dead in Buffalo—five days after Border Patrol dropped him off on a street corner without notifying his family, who had moved away from the area. He was 56.
The story of Shah Alam’s arrest in February of last year, as reported by the Investigative Post, reads as a situation all too familiar for disabled people who interact with the police—particularly disabled people of color. His original violent arrest, by police who apparently saw his walking stick as a weapon—and who, like the Border Patrol officers who dumped him, apparently made no attempt to reckon with his disability, his inability to speak English, or his mental state—set off a chain of events that ended in his death.
In need of a walking stick, he managed to find his way down the block to a shop that sold curtain rods, where he purchased one. Curtain rod in hand, Shah Alam strolled his Black Rock neighborhood until the weather turned colder, [his attorney Benjamin] Macaluso said. He attempted to walk home, but, confused, ended up at a stranger’s house instead.
He found himself on a woman’s porch just as she was letting her dog out, Macaluso said.
“He comes from a place where people don’t keep dogs,” Macaluso said. “The dog’s freaking out. He’s freaking out. She calls the police and says there’s an unidentified Black man in my driveway.”
When Buffalo police arrived, Macaluso said, they ordered him to drop his curtain rod. But Shah Alam was not able to understand them—or even see them clearly. After not complying with repeated orders, the two officers Tasered him, tackled and beat him, Macaluso said.
Jonah Kaplan hung a large Israeli flag from his cubicle in the Minnesota CBS office, CHABAD Broadcasting System. Come on, RIchard.
Yeah, well, NO, Richard, Trump and Jewish Minyan are going strong.
Lastly, there are the self-inflicted wounds of mass disaffection. The ICEcapades in Minneapolis strengthened animosity toward Trump’s government around the immigration issue and how to deal with it. Trump’s transparent efforts to keep the public from knowing the full extent of his (and his friends’ and colleagues’) involvement with Jeffrey Epstein’s horrors are crumpling support. Least recognized but perhaps most important is the growing awareness among all employees – but especially at all government levels – that Trump’s policies threaten jobs. Their unions are striking, and the total US unionized labor force grew by 500,000 in 2025. When several unions joined the people of Minneapolis in organizing effective, mass opposition to ICE, a coalition undertook a renewal that can change US politics.
A Brooklyn artist told the Denton Record-Chronicle that the University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design was removing an entire exhibit of his work, which was scheduled to open Feb. 19
I.c.e. scream series
Marka27’s I.C.E. Scream series is a visual protest turning something as familiar as a paleta into a powerful symbol of systemic oppression. At first glance, the brightly colored frozen treats evoke nostalgia, but a closer look reveals a chilling reality. Made from resin as well as acrylic, these paletas contain etched images and encapsulated objects ranging from handcuffs to flowers and rosaries—celebrating the strength and resilience of indigenous communities while representing the struggles of immigrant families caught in the U.S. immigration system.
The series plays on the contrast between childhood innocence and the brutality of detention, deportation, and family separation. The name I.C.E. Scream itself is a haunting wordplay—what should be a moment of joy instead becomes a cry of anguish. Each piece captures the tension between the American Dream’s promise and the harsh realities many immigrants face.
Marka27 draws from his heritage and lived experiences, using his signature “Neo Indigenous” style to highlight stories often silenced. I.C.E. Scream isn’t just art—it’s a call to action, forcing viewers to confront the human cost of immigration policies, compelling its audience to question, to feel, and ultimately, engage in the fight for justice. Through vibrant hues and subversive storytelling, Marka27 transforms the act of looking into an act of witnessing. In a time when immigrant voices are often silenced, I.C.E. Scream ensures they are not just heard, but felt.
Nope, Richard, things are NOT looking up:
“Ni De Aquí, Ni De Allá” invokes the color-saturated textiles, architecture and food of Mexico and Mexican American communities in the U.S. And the exhibit, which was scheduled to open in the CVAD Gallery this month, explores Mexican and Mexican American identity and expression.
Quiñonez’s art looks at the culture and community that is at once braided through the fabric of North America but trapped politically in a kind of no-man’s-land. He drenches paleta carts in gold, repurposing them as nichos mexicanos, or shadow boxes that contain religious and cultural icons — a Virgen de Guadalupe framed with gilded calla lilies, a whisper from Diego Rivera’s famous Cargador de Flores. The exhibit recreates a bodega shelf full of multi-colored novena candles, a nod to historical Catholicism and colonization as well as the religious bonds that connect both immigrant and Latinos in America.
Some of the work is a pointed criticism of ICE, which has provoked protests all over the country since the Trump administration’s pointed increase in deportations and immigration enforcement. After several high-profile killings of protesters in Minneapolis, criticism of U.S. immigration policy and anger at ICE officers and the Trump administration surged.
Quiñonez created giant, melting paletas — confrontational pieces that contain handcuffs or revolvers, like a fossilized dragonfly suspended in amber. Another piece brings the hustle of immigrant street food vendors into plain view — a clear paleta cart shaded by an umbrella printed with quiet American flags. Happy tassels are on the cart’s handle. But the broad side that patrons can see? It’s emblazoned with a message: “I.C.E. SCREAM.”
The front of the cart has an official seal, but this one reads “U.S. Department of Stolen Land Security.” Inside the shield on this seal? A masked face.
The exhibit also included art inspired by Marka27’s murals — brown-skinned people surrounded by a riot of color.
Quiñonez said the gallery was open to the public, and he thinks that a few people saw the exhibit for the short time that it was open.
The removal of the exhibit comes nearly one year after Republican state lawmakers demanded the college remove a student exhibit. Critics and some Jewish students said the show, in which two student artists, who were Muslim women, explored the war in Gaza and the fate of Palestinians. University officials didn’t remove the show, but at least one piece was removed from the gallery.
The removal of the work appears to violate the university’s policy governing art exhibits.
The university policy states: “Decisions regarding works of art exhibited in UNT facilities shall be consistent with the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the State of Texas Constitution, the principles of academic freedom and academic responsibility, and applicable UNT System Regents Rules, UNT System Regulations, and campus policies.”
The policy says that art doesn’t infringe on the constitutional rights of the viewer “solely because a viewer is offended by the idea or opinion portrayed in a work of art.” However, the policy doesn’t protect art that “is likely to incite or produce imminent lawless action,” or uses “fighting words” or is obscene.
Quiñonez is also currently listed as the juror of the Paul Voertman Juried Student Exhibition last fall, a long-running and esteemed annual student exhibit at UNT. That exhibit is running through the end of the month in the Cora Stafford Gallery.
