After France Swelters, Now It Burns
Southern France's already baked landscape is now burning, reports Reuters, with firefighters racing to contain multiple wildfires driven by strong winds and lingering heat. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said three fires, including two on the outskirts of Marseille, have burned about 2,990 acres so far, with no casualties reported.
No worries, AI will solve all the Climate Change problems.

Private Credit Worries Are Back
Blue Owl sparked private credit worries across Wall Street earlier in the year after implementing a redemption limit on some funds, a move with famed economist Mohamed El-Erian called a "canary-in-the-coalmine" moment akin to 2007.
Looks like the .01% are losing faith in the AI Bubble. When will it pop?

Araqchi Urges US to Leash Israel under Islamabad MoU
The terms of the Islamabad MoU are crystal clear and public for all to see. POTUS has committed the US to muzzling its pets in Tel Aviv. If they ignore their master, Iran will school them.
Very well said. But who is the master? Top or bottom. America is obviously the bottom.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright issued an Energy Emergency Alert, directing officials of the biggest electrical grid, PJM Interconnections in the Mid-Atlantic region, to take action to prevent blackouts and ensure essential operations like hospitals are fully functioning during the heat wave.
No problemo. We have HVAC and Ice Makers. Oh wait... they work on electricity. 😬

I wonder how many Psychiatrists would be willing to go on record saying Chump is NOT a MALIGNANT NARCISSIST who poses a threat of authorizing a nuclear first strike? Any Shrink who would say that should have his license to practice medicine revoked. El Trumpo is a walking, talking example of DSM-V psychosis diagnostic pathologies. Beside Narcissist, Megalomania, Misogyny, Pedophilia, Paranoia, Rapist & Pathological Liar all have plenty of documented statements or actions to make a valid diagnosis. AKA, CRIMINALLY INSANE.

One doctor with years of experience. Lets give him/her the number of years of experience as 20 each.
225 times twenty years is 4500 years of experience. So many professionals taking the same position says that maybe perhaps, they are on to something.

While I don't think it's necessary to be a Doctor with years of experience dealing with mentally unstable and disturbed individuals to recognize that Trumpolini poses a genuine threat as someone who would use a Nuke to demonstrate he's the biggest, toughest bully on the block, it's also pretty clear that someone who has admitted his expertiese is limited to the narrrow field of Rocks for Jocks isn't the best choice of people to evaluate the likelihood of the Warmonger-in-Chief deciding he needs to glaze over Tehran as the "FINAL SOLUTION" for freeing up Hormuz from the control of Towel Heads determined to shut down global Happy Motoring.
His Trumpness has already made thinly veiled threats of wiping out the entire Iranian population and erasing thm from the history books to get his way. He's clearly frustrated, even the lapdogs and syncophants that enable him in CONgress have been turning against him and the likelihood the Repugnants lose the House & Senate in fair elections grows by the day. The military virtually admits they're short of conventional weapons for carpet bombing Iran, so what's left for him to leverage here to get them to capitulate? It worked for "Give 'em Hell Harry" Truman against the Japanese, right?
I still hold the Hopium out that somewhere along the Chain of Command that common sense will prevail and even if he orders it, the order will be refused, but it's still a legitimate concern. To argue otherwise is at best unrealistic.

Trump floated the idea of using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes headed for US
President Donald Trump has floated multiple times the idea of thwarting hurricanes headed for the US by bombing them, including by dropping nuclear bombs on hurricanes to disrupt their course.
Sounds about as informed as when folks claimed the world was ending because there wasn't more oil to be produced. Trump is itching for using nukes, doomers itching for the end of the world...whatever floats your boat I suppose.
