Image
  FASCISM on the march in the USA. Donald J. Trump is a fascist. His pictures plastered on buildings in preparation for his birthday parade and celebration is exactly what authoritarian fascism, communism, and kingdoms do. His malignant narcissism and sociopathy drives him to demand fealty and obedience to his person. Self aggrandizement is a staple of Trump's personality and he is incapable of putting it to sleep. And now, on to the short article. "This Is Deeply Fascist": The Internet Is Responding After A Giant Banner Of Trump's Face Was Placed On A Government Building A large banner of Donald Trump's official portrait now hangs prominently on the U.S. Department of Agriculture building in Washington, D.C.

The United States remains the world’s preeminent soft power. It’s a financial and cultural juggernaut, whose entertainment and celebrities bestride the planet. But as an industrial power, the U.S. is not so much at risk of falling behind as it is objectively behind already. A recent  essay  in the journal Foreign Affairs by Rush Doshi and Kurt Campbell, both China experts who served in the Biden administration, made the case with alarming specificity.

REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein © provided by RawStory Donald Trump will cross the 100-day threshold for his second presidency next week and, if history is a guide, his honeymoon period could soon come to an end. The president has worked quickly to dismantle chunks of the federal government, unraveled post-World War II military and economic alliances and upended global trade networks. His approval ratings are already falling before the public even feels the impact of his sweeping tariffs,  wrote former Bill Clinton adviser Doug Sosnick for the New York Times . "A consequential start does not in any way equate to long-term success," wrote Sosnick, who advised Clinton from 1994 to 2000 and has also worked with more than 50 governors and U.S. senators.

  THE PINNACLE GAZETTE  -  In a bold move to attract global scientific talent, French President Emmanuel Macron has officially invited researchers from around the world to come work in France and other parts of Europe.
