Lunatic With a Plan: Erdogan and Turkey’s Economic Woes
Since the first assault on Turkey’s finances in 2018, which I wrote about multiple times (here, here, and here), I’ve been the lone voice telling everyone that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a lunatic but he’s a lunatic with a plan. That plan is to de-dollarize the economy of a valuable member of NATO geostrategically. Since the first shots across the bow by the Trump administration at Erdogan’s toying with those powers east of the Bosporus (Russia, China and Iran) the Turkish lira has been the primary mode of attack against Erdogan. Erdogan has pursued what has been deemed unorthodox...

85% — EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT (!!) of People Busted For Pot in D.C. Are Black
Thank God the cops are here to protect us from the riots they caused by constantly treating human beings like garbage. Although marijuana arrests have declined by more than half, African Americans still account for just under 90 percent of those arrested on all pot-related charges, according to a Washington Post analysis, even as they make up 45 percent of the city’s population. And while studies show that marijuana use is equally prevalent among Blacks and Whites, 84 percent of more than 900 people arrested for public consumption in the nation’s capital were African American in the four...

Somali MP: US Airstrike Killed Six Somali Civilians on a Minibus
US claimed everyone killed was a 'terrorist' US African Command (AFRICOM) is promising an investigation after an airstrike against a minibus full of people was reported by locals, including a Somali MP, of having killed six civilians. The US had reported on the strike on Tuesday, saying they destroyed the minibus and killed “five terrorists.” As is so common with US killings, they did not name any of the victims. MP Mahad Dhoore confirmed everyone inside was civilian. One of the family members of the victims noted that the slain included his 70-year-old father, who cannot walk without a...
Congress Loves War
On FPF #461, I discuss Congress pushing for war more than Trump. A new bill in the House looks to prevent the US from drawing down troops in Africa. Throughout the Trump presidency, Congress has a history of attempting to prevent Trump from drawing down forces or removing sanctions. At the same time, Congress is almost completely ignoring Trump deploying troops and fighting undeclared wars.
