With the news that President Trump has taken a sudden interest in renaming the Department of Defense the “Department of War,” one has to wonder: Was the U.S. military really in need of some kind of hypermuscular rebrand?
The “Department of War” Is the Most Honest Thing Trump Has Ever Done
The president’s desired update to the agency’s name marks the collapse of the liberal international order—and a military finally marching with its mask off.The New Republic

Die aktuelle Bundesregierung hat das Gasfeld mit dem Staatsvertrag mit den Niederlanden ohne Aussprache im Juli im Kabinett beschlossen. Bundestag und Bundesrat müssen aber noch zustimmen. Jetzt ist die Zeit, sich gegen diese Klima- und Umweltzerstörung, diesen fossilen Wahnsinn, zu wehren!

The image features a musician performing on stage. The musician is wearing a dark pinstripe suit jacket, a black shirt, and a wide-brimmed hat. He is holding an acoustic guitar with a natural wood finish and a decorative rosette around the sound hole. The musician is positioned in front of a microphone stand, suggesting he is either singing or about to sing. The background is illuminated with warm stage lighting, creating a dramatic effect. The lighting includes a bright yellow light source behind the musician, adding to the ambiance of the performance. The overall scene captures a moment of a live musical performance, with the musician as the central focus.

I still haven't thanked everyone individually for your donations and support that are making this dream come true.
Having a good cry at the moment, the happiest I've been in a long while.
Thank you. Dare to dream! Much love! 🙏❤️
