The Final Few

This article unpacks the high-profile political misfire in Wisconsin’s 2025 Supreme Court race, where Elon Musk’s $25 million investment into Brad Schimel’s campaign backfired spectacularly. Despite warnings from Trump’s team that the race was unwinnable, Musk pushed forward—turning the election into a referendum on his own influence and Trump's brand.

In the aftermath of the Elon Musk chainsaw gutting the United States Agency for International Development, LGBTQ+ people around the world were robbed of more than a hundred programs geared to promote their health, safety and human rights. UCLA Law School’s Williams Institute senior fellow and director of international programs Ari Shaw worries that the days of U.S. leadership on global queer rights are over (interviewed by David Hunt).

And in NewsWrap: the Czech Republic’s sterilization pre-requisite for a transgender or nonbinary person seeking to change their legal gender is condemned by the European Court of Human Rights, researchers find young bisexual women leading the way in the surging numbers of Australians over the age of 15 who openly identify as “L-G-B-plus,” World Pride 2025 climaxes with a joyous parade and a defiant International March on Washington for Freedom, Tel Aviv’s LGBTQ Pride is canceled in expectation of retaliation for Israel’s airstrikes against Iran, 52 U.S. Congressional Democrats demand proof of life for renditioned gay Venezuelan make-up artist Andry José Hernández Romero, U.S. Air Force veteran Gina Ortiz Jones becomes the first out LGBTQ candidate to be elected Mayor of San Antonio, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Michael Taylor Gray and Sarah Montague (produced by Brian DeShazor).

Mommy Messiah Saves the World – Excerpt from Episode 10 – Mommy Goes Toe-to-Toe with Elon Musk.

In Episode 10 of Mommy Messiah Saves the World, I revealed chinks in the armor of 4 “big boys”, prominent men who enjoy fortune and fame in this physical world. To bring world redemption we must learn where we are going wrong before we can hope to bring peace. Today Hashem asked me to give you the excerpt revealing a Chink in the Armor of Elon Musk. I share this with my love, respect and deepest prayers that we will all work to repair this world. We must heal this broken world together. Begin now by reading Blindsided by Messiah today.

The Moshiach, Lori Michelle, has been online sharing Hashem's Voice for many years. On April 7th, 2009 He woke me to His Voice and His messages have been clear and consistent: There will be World Redemption. The time is now and my book, Blindsided by Messiah, was written in Israel with His direct help with every keystroke. He calls my book the Torah Part II, the down to earth explanations about where we are going wrong and how we must repair the world. He has asked me to create a Podcast and even named it for me – Mommy Messiah Saves the World. Are you laughing? I’m not and neither is Hashem. I am ready to work for world peace. Are you?

I’ve been doing this for a very long time. This work takes an enormous amount of energy and time to give this information to you. I do this work all for love. I truly run on love. To bring redemption and to be welcomed into the world to come your active participation is required. Start now.

La presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum confirmó que su carta para defender los intereses sanitarios de México en Ginebra ante la Organización Mundial de la Salud será el epidemiólogo más polémico de la era COVID, Hugo López-Gatell. ¿Premio de consolación, deuda política o apuesta estratégica? Xavier Tello, médico y analista de políticas en salud pública, nos habla al respecto.

Sanciones de Estados Unidos sacuden al sistema financiero mexicano: fuga de clientes y cancelación de servicios / Nuevo triunfo para Trump: el Senado de Estados Unidos aprueba el One Big Beautiful Bill, un parteaguas fiscal, migratorio y político impulsado por el republicano / Las diferencias entre Elon Musk y Donald Trump pasaron de una disputa de egos a una con consecuencias políticas, económicas y hasta legales.

El PRI y PAN enfrentan una derrota tan profunda que ya no resisten ni la burla, ni el recuerdo del triunfo de AMLO.

Jairo Calixto Albarrán. ¡No le toque ese vals a la opo!

The system is broken. They’re all on mute.

This ain't a left vs. right anthem. This is a full-send sonic assault on the whole damn system. "Hill on Mute" is the raw, unfiltered truth of a generation that’s done with the political theater. We see the corruption, the lies, and the sellouts on both sides of the aisle.

Inspired by the disruptive energy of figures like Elon Musk who are breaking the mold, this track is a war cry for transparency and a new way forward. We’re tearing down the old guard, one 808 at a time. This is the sound of the America Party. This is the voice of the streets.

If you're tired of being played, this is your anthem. Turn it up.

When Eric starts, you feel the shift and you know it’s him. 
You’re gone. 
The unexpected makes sense and redefining boundaries is the way he builds trust and safety. 
Is he bringing you back home, beyond or further?
Every beat is the answer. 
No more question, only music. 

Trained as a guitarist, Eric first honed his musical skills playing in caravans with Gypsies.

 At the age of fifteen, he was already roaming at Folies Pigalle on Wednesdays, Rex Club on Thursdays, Jazz bars and trailers on weekends, under the caring protection of Marcel Campion and the descendants of Django Reinhardt. 

From his experiences with Gypsies, he earned a sense of freedom and a keen ear for improvisation across all genres of music.
While Eric's DJ sets and productions primarily feature electronic music, he consistently infuse them with strings, brass, or eclectic sounds that strengthen his cinematic and surprising universe. 

It becomes his signature: « A Dialogue between the Beat and the Vibe » !

Alexandre Poussin



For Eric, music is not only a passion but a reason to be.

It's the place where the essential finds its expression, where space and time vibrate in harmony, where souls and bodies sing and dance their inexpressible truth.

Throughout his life, he has been seeking for the unexpected, the improbable and thirsting for new sounds and emotions. 
From meditation to celebration, from the most refined classical music to raw techno, from the intimacy of a Gypsy jazz bar to the fury of massive electro clubs around the world, Eric seeks and finds. 

That’s why today, it is so natural to find him behind his turntables with his guitar, sharing his boundless love for what we vaguely refer to as music, vibration, celebration or simply: Life.

Thomas



On my part, I would add that Eric is pure, intense, positive and creative madness, unpredictability and the spark we all need:
Like a guitar by a campfire, a requiem in times of sorrow, a Jazz tune under the pouring rain, a 360° drift on the rond-point des Champs-Élysées at 5am or a love story during bedtime.

Obsessed by sounds, each of his notes is carefully thought out, cherished, loved, and embodied.  Everything is there, but only if it’s shared.
The love of sharing is one of Eric's most beautiful values...

To cherish step by step, through his music.

About Lori Michelle
LORI MICHELLE was born in Brooklyn New York and raised in New Jersey in a secular Jewish family. She always felt close to God but was never particularly religious. On one auspicious morning, April 7, 2009, Hashem God of the Universe awakened His Chosen Messiah, His Moshiach. He said, "Go get pen and paper and start writing this down." Lori Michelle listened and accepted her God-given role. This led her on a dark journey into hell on earth. Why was the most miraculous discovery also a horrific nightmare? Nobody listened to her. Nobody was ready to hear and accept the truth. Are you ready now?
