Welcome back to the FREE edition of Life Intelligence on Sundaysđ
2025 is off to a challenging start every which way. I am sure thatâs not what most people wanted. Iâve been waiting for the Eurasia Groupâs Top Ten Risks Report to come out, and it finally is out. If you are a big-picture person, curious about the trajectory of US and world politics, you should check it out. The good olâ days are over. The Eurasia group puts these out every year. Usually, they are spot on in assessing risks. Occasionally, they are off the mark. I am hoping they are totally wrong for 2025 because it sure looks like a shit showâŠ
If you donât want to read the report, you could watch this TED interview with Ian Bremmer from the Eurasia Group.
I want to extend my deepest sympathies to everyone affected by the crazy fires in Los Angeles. Iâve been watching the news and images coming out of there with a heavy heart. I canât imagine what it must be like to see your entire life and home disappear in the fire. I am also disturbed by the MASSIVE amount of misinformation immediately put in circulation by various nefarious actors, some foreign and some domestic. The most appalling misinformation and straight-up lies of all are coming straight out of Donald Trumpâs mouth, such as the one where CA Governor Newsom did not sign the âwater restoration reclamation declaration.â NO SUCH DOCUMENT HAS EVER EXISTED! This is a totally false, made-up thing in Trumpâs head. And is not the only one. He claims that the Biden Administration is doing nothing to help people, but in reality, Biden announced that the US Government will cover 100% of of fire response costs for 180 days.
Misinformation about the reasons for the fire and how itâs handled is now spreading through some prominent online personalities like David Ruben, Joe Rogan, and, of course, Elon Musk. California is fighting back by putting up its own page and fact-checking them all.
Know the ACTUAL facts here, as well as see who is spreading the false claims: https://gavinnewsom.com/california-fire-facts/
If you are affected by the fire, check out the FEMAâa page and apply for assistance. There, you can also find information about various resources.

I have not experienced triangulation, though not long ago, a friend of K's tried to put a wedge between us. I cut her off at the get-go, and have heard little from that person since.
