Today has been a slow news day, so far. Here are a few items worth noting—in no particular order. Crime will be a major issue in Election 2022. Obviously, inflation is and will be the number one issue but, in states with large metro areas—and especially with Soros DAs, crime will not be far behind. Part of a witch’s brew of issues working against the Dems. Consider stories like this one:
Every time you post another article about the continuing tidal wave of unintended consequences that these geopolitical geniuses didn’t see coming, I laugh first and then I ask myself, “Are these people really that stupid?”. Answer is always the same, “Sure as hell looks like it!”
I’m pretty certain that they must have taken a couple of correspondence courses from the Acme School of Foreign Policy, or maybe it was the Ajax Geopolitical University, only Wiley Coyote knows for sure.
As true as that may prove to be, the whole approach is phyrric to my thinking. It’s going to be difficult to “implement” anything if you’re left with nothing but rubble where western civilization used to stand. These people are fools of historic proportions.
My view is fanatics. Think Japanese Red Army brain washing, with huge group pressure online and in person, that constantly rachets up with the need for each person to go further and further to the left.
Any suggestion to the contrary is seen as cordoning genocide, racism, slavery, etc.
A great example of this in action at Twitter, when discussing the banning of Libs of Ticktock.
I’m beginning to think that the train has already left the station and we can’t quite bring ourselves to admit it.
I know we’re supposed to expect a “fearsome red wave” come November, but at the rate the left is destroying the country there may not be anything for us to save. And the idea that the
Republicans in office now are going to be on board with the kinds of monumental changes that will be required to fix things, well let’s say that I remain unconvinced.
The theft of the 2020 election was even more of a pivotal moment than we know at this point, hence my statement that the “train has already left the station”.
My feelings are not assuaged when leftists like Nate Silver say the odds of the House flipping are 50-50! 50-50?
How could he make such a statement unless he knows that the “fix” is already in for November?
I try to remain hopeful, but it seems that every direction we turn a new and more breathtaking outrage confronts us.
Sorry, Mark, but you have fallen for it again! The old "look, your shoe is untied!" trick. Sure, it looks like the Russians have taken control of Lysychansk, but this is the US, sorry, I mean Ukraine, setting the trap! After reading the mainstream media, and sorting out all those pesky pronouns, it is clear that the Russians are being lulled into a false sense of security. This must be it, because we have sent all those "game changer" weapons to the Ukrainians. Furthermore, it was only yesterday that General (USMC Ret.) James "Miffed Puppy" Mattis decried the woefulness of the Russian armed forces. Plus, and pay attention here Mark, at the recent G7 meeting, various leaders mocked Vladimir Putin! Mocked! What stronger weapon system than BoJo letting fly with his witticisms? It is all going according to the WEF plan. How could it be otherwise with "Stonewall and Incontinent" Biden at the helm? Neil in SD (and still not vaxxed!
Here's a nice article describing how Russia used a show of defeat at Kharkov to lure the Nazi Ukies into the countryside and destruction. Result: Russia achieved their original objective of taking the city without destroying it.
Yes. I read that this morning. That's been my operative assumption for that area. There was no way that the Russians were going to start destroying a major Russian city like Kharkov, so they needed to come up with a creative strategy to get around the Ukrainians using civilians as hostages.
The Red Army were absolute masters of Deep Battle and also Deception. Best English sources are books by David Glantz. I read more thoughtful analysis here, including the commenters, than anywhere else. Keep up the good work, Mark et al.
But, but, Powerline keeps linking to the ISW and the Kagan Klan says that Russia is stumbling and bumbling. Every day I wake up and hit my favorite independent news aggregators and wonder how long it will take before their headlines can no longer be kept off the corporate media front pages. Five more years?
My understanding is it’s a criminal matter to show support for an illegal action.

It’s been suggested it’s intentional. As a way to distract, and help the implementation of the Green New Deal and the WEF agenda.

You have to wonder about guys like Mattis. How can they not know this stuff? Are they really just political hacks?
Yes. I read that this morning. That's been my operative assumption for that area. There was no way that the Russians were going to start destroying a major Russian city like Kharkov, so they needed to come up with a creative strategy to get around the Ukrainians using civilians as hostages.

What Germany supposedly did to a reporter shocked me:
https://kanekoa.substack.com/p/germany-labels-journalist-criminal
Of course Germany does not allow home schooling either.
I’m not surprised if there is a bias.
What shocks me is the actions censoring other opinions, of course it’s Germany.
Probably YouTube, they are in a censorship kick.
Here is information on the German law probably used:

Actual law in German:

You're absolutely correct and I'll be writing on related matters today.
