Tesla: Out of Gas?

OK, Tesla makes electric vehicles, which don’t run on gasoline, but you get the idea. Once valued in excess of a trillion dollars, Tesla Motors stock has plunged in 2025, shedding some $380 billion in value since January, which, not coincidentally, is when founder Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, began his stint with the second Trump administration, as head of the now notorious DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency. The extra-governmental task force, with no statutory authority beyond the President’s fiat, attempted to trim $2 trillion from the federal budget, but came up a bit short.

Donald Trump’s 79th Solar Return

US President Kim Jong Don will be celebrating his 79^th birthday on Saturday, 14 June, 2025, with a North-Korean-style military parade in the nation’s capital, while simultaneously, 3000 miles away, US National Guard and Marines patrol the country’s largest city, ostensibly to quell “insurrectionists” protesting his administration’s immigration policies. The dual displays of military power, both unprecedented and controversial, well encapsulate the leading feature of Dear Leader’s Solar Return, which occurs the day before: a square between Mars, planet of the military, violence and war, and Uranus, planet of shocks, upsets, controversy, volatility, and extreme reactions.

Massive Ukrainian Drone Strike in Russia

On 1 June 2025 more than 100 Ukrainian drones struck at air bases deep in Russia, targeting long-range bombers with nuclear capacity, in an attempt to cripple Moscow’s ability to prosecute the war on Ukraine, now in its third year. Code-named “Spider Web,” the attacks, eighteen months in the planning, were carried out by drones smuggled into Russia in wood structures carried on trucks, whose local drivers were apparently unaware of the contents, and activated remotely. Drivers had received their destinations by phone, and were stunned when the drones emerged; some tried to incapacitate them with rocks. Moscow has downplayed the attacks, citing simply “some damage,” but Ukrainian sources allege 41 bombers were struck, and at least 13 destroyed, in locations across five Russian regions, as far as 8000km from Ukraine’s border.

A Decade of The Donald

Hard to believe, but on June 16^th, it will be ten years since Donald J. Trump rolled down that golden escalator in Trump Tower to announce his candidacy for US president, setting in motion a disruption in our political life as a nation the likes of which we’ve never seen before (to use one of Trump’s favorite catch phrases). As always, the moment encapsulates the future, crystalizing latent potential into manifestation.

The Kilmar Abrego Garcia Case

By now, most Americans have heard of the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran who was illegally deported from the United States on March 15, 2025, in what the Trump administration initially admitted was “an administrative error.” He was imprisoned without trial in the Salvadoran maximum security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), despite never having been charged with nor convicted of a crime in either country, under an agreement to imprison U.S. deportees there, in exchange for payment. The administration quickly withdrew its mea culpa, defending Abrego Garcia’s deportation, and publicly accusing him of being a member of the MS-13 gang, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. The accusation was based on a bail determination made during a 2019 immigration court proceeding, contested by Abrego Garcia.

Aussies & Canucks Go to the Polls

Late April and early May 2025 witnessed two vital democracies elect new governments, in the teeth of a tense Mars/Pluto opposition, as Canadians and Australians lined up to cast ballots for the candidates of their choice. Both countries saw foundering incumbents, once thought to be sure losers, given new life and rescued from defeat to retain power. This was, at least in part, aided and abetted by a series of poorly chosen acts and statements from US President Donald Trump, whose trade war tariffs and belligerent rhetoric aimed at these erstwhile allies tarred his fellow conservatives with a brush so toxic that voters fled into the arms of their progressive rivals.
