I have very good news.😄

Today I was heading to appointment and I did notice that MTA , the New York Subway elevator was washed by using shampoo!

I am not kidding, this was for real.
On the way back I saw the cleaning crew , with newly hired young people in it standing together waiting for train to come.

I did approach them, they said Hi to me waiting for answering question I might have.

But I told them instead “ thank you”, “ thank you for what you do, it’s so important!”

It was happy reaction from them and young man in his 20’s replied “ yes, it’s very important “ and all of them wished me wonderful day.

Why I am telling this?
Because it is really, hugely important.

Do you know, when you are depressed, the first sign of your decision to readiness to come out of depression is when you clean up your room. It is sign of self organization.

The same is about the country.
As depressed as we all were during Biden administration, and feeling of terrible moral and psychological downfall, I see with this little thing about subway cleaning , as the very positive sign .

It’s up to us as well and we can make each other feel important and value each other, that how we all with come out of depressive feeling that blocks creativity.

And never forget to notice people and say thank” you” . That’s how we will survive and get better. Love to all! 💕

My fellow Duranians
I apologize for taking so long to get this done, last week Thursday we had a live, as you know with Daniel McAdams and therefore I didn´t get around to completing my work.
But at long last here we are:

'Imminent defeat' and push for a deal w/ Robert Barnes (Live)
Join Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today 26th November 2025 at 14:00 EST, 19:00 London time

We are looking at the most chaotic negotiation I have ever seen as part of the Trump administration races to cobble together a 'peace plan' which Moscow will accept, staving off Ukraine's impending collapse, even as the neocons, the US Deep State, the Unholy Trinity of Macron-Starmer-Merz, the EU Commission, and the Zelensky regime, pull out all the stops to block them.

So we are back to the old game of leaks, insinuations, intrigues and threats, those of us who covered Russiagate remember very well.

It is no help that the key people who are trying to cobble together the 'peace plan' - Witkoff, Kushner and by the way Trump himself - are amateurs with no professional training or background in diplomacy. So the result is that we have multiple different versions of the 'peace plan' floating around, each of them apparently saying different things on important points.

Meanwhile the Russians watch and wait, with the circus apparently due to come to Moscow next week, even as their army ...

Losing the plot - Boris Rozhin.

" Jean-Michel's partner is getting heated.

"Russia no longer builds schools, doesn't build hospitals, has no social policy—nothing at all.
It produces submarines, missiles, tanks, and finances the armies of third countries to send to the Ukrainian front. Or threaten us, again and again. It has an entire arsenal of weapons. And we are within range of their intercontinental missiles. We are all exposed to them. That is the reality of the threat. We would be mistaken if we showed weakness in the face of this threat. We must show that the French are not weak."

Meanwhile, in Russia, 293 new schools for 217,500 students were built in 2024. In 2025, they plan to renovate and build a total of 1,634 schools (we'll know whether the plan has been met in early 2026).

Overall, Jean-Michel's partner, as usual, is out of touch with reality. He drove the country into recession and political crisis and now blames France's problems on Russia. A pathetic figure who ...

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.
