An Ode to Boses Fore Fools on April 1
The Boss is looking for a meal,
In Banff National Park, He is
In Can a da On Wheels, or otherwise
https://discoverairdrie.com/articles/the-boss-is-back-in-town--and-so-is-bear-season

The Gates are Open
Spring Has Sprung
The Grass has Ris
Wonder where the Boss is?

He's in a mood
He is
Not lookin for Friend
He is
But then again

There is Another Boss
In Minnesota,
Or is it Washing Town He is?
No matter how cute they may appear
Pet NOT the Bears
Lest you make a tasty Meal

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...

Meanwhile in Gaza... Incredibly resilient people!

Murdered by Israel:

The Houmin al-Tahta massacre: Sisters Nour and Hanan Mohammad Hamieh, along with their father and mother, were martyred in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the family home.

A massacre in the town of Houmine El-Tahta in south Lebanon, where an entire family was wiped out in a single moment. Mohammad Hammieh, his wife, and their two daughters, Nour and Hanan, were all killed in an Israeli enemy airstrike that targeted their home.

Tonight, four names are added to a growing list that the world skims past too quickly. Nour and Hanan: two little lights extinguished before they could even begin to shine. A mother and father whose only "crime" was believing their home was still a place of safety, while Zionist Israel violated the skies.

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.
