When you realise the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree …..

My 23 year old Son didn’t want to go to his University Graduation this week. I stress singular graduation,

Suddenly last Thursday I get a message from him he will go as his mother was upset. I received my invitation for Graduation this Thursday in email with a note from him “See you there”

Hit him back with important questions - I’ll bring the esky. Beer and/or Pepsi Max. Thumbs up in return

His mother called me today somewhat upset stating he didn’t go to his graduation which confused me as I thought it was Thursday. She gave me a character reference that he has all my immature, not acknowledging or going to ceremonies etc

So …. Jay has been studying two degrees - Pure Math and Advanced Science. I thought Math didn’t finish until November as an Honours year followed

Silly me. Jay’s been out west boxing at three different competitions; his Science Degree graduation was today - his math is Thursday

I’d have done the same :). So I ascertain he’s also on the Math Physics Staff teaching Yr 2 and 3 Math; his honours is completed but can’t be awarded until November due to rules and he’s been asked to join a research team starting August

Gotta love kids.

Join Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today 1st April 2026 at 14:00 EST, 19:00 London time

We are now back to summer time in both the US and Europe so our Live Stream today is at our usual time in both regions.

Obviously the main topic for discussion will be the two wars: the one in the Middle East and the continuing one in Ukraine.

Trump is apparently intending to make some sort of national address later today but these often turn out to be underwhelming and will presumably happen after our Live Stream is ended. For the record, the pattern of US military build up continues and to my mind points to an intensification not a winding down of the war.

As for Ukraine, an interesting overview of the state of the war has been provided by a retired French general, with which I mostly agree. https://harpers.org/archive/2026/04/conflict-resolution-olivier-kempf-kyiv-ukraine-russia/. As it happens there has been a significant uptick in Russian advances over the last few days. Zelensky also claims that the Russians have given him via the Americans a 2 month ultimatum to withdraw...

STANDING WITH U.S. JOHN MEARSHEIMER THAT ‘BABYKILLER,’; ALONG WITH THE SO-CALLED U.S 'SECRETARY OF WAR' PETE HESGETH, SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO ‘GUSAMO’ RUBIO, THE ZIONIST BIBI NETANYAHU, ARE WAR CRIMIALS AND NEED TO BE PUNISHED UNDER THE NUREMBURG WAR CRIMES ACT TO BE HUNG BY THE NECK UNTIL THEY ARE DEAD.| Besides that: US Panic: Saudi Arabia & Gulf Countries $200B Losses To Trigger Treasuries Sell Off!

Apologize for my gallows humor but what these creatures have done to the America I love being held to consequences for their actions that extreme penalties seems only fair.

Have to say the Babykiller Gang in the White House besides their cruel streaks are just not the smartest bunnies in the hitch.

Amid the Iran war, US allies in the Gulf, the big oil producers are facing an impending recession and massive losses of $200 Billion. This won't just slow US treasury buying, it could in fact trigger a ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
