The Morning Report — 12/14/23

cancercrabs.jpg

Good morning, kids. Considering what happened to that Turkish MP who invoked the wrath of God for taking His will in vain, (he has reportedly died!) degenerate fish-eyed oaf Jamie Raskin, who is battling cancer (or vice versa) better watch his mouth, and the filthy lies that slide off his corkscrew of a tongue.

“They got nothing else to do. There is literally no legislative program. They just want to cut off the people of Ukraine. They are not interested in humanitarian assistance to Ukraine or to people in Gaza or to helping people in Israel, none of it. they are not interested in any of it it’s all about getting that much from back into power. So, I agree with you, I am surprised to, because their investigation is so patently fraudulent and merit-less, but they don’t care.”

. . . Raskin added, “They’re voting for and impeachment inquiry for an event that can be defined. It’s making a mockery out of the Constitution.”

The absolute gall of this worthless degenerate scumbag is just off the charts. He, his entire party and far too many in the Potemkin opposition known as the GOP completely trashed the Constitution and eviscerated any sense of decorum, morality and ethics in the attempt to destroy Donald Trump, his presidency and personal legacy. And the reason for that is to protect their hold on what is in essence a dictatorship that they control to greater or lesser degrees. That means, you and me shackled to one another, being whipped into rowing through a sea of treacle in a very leaky galleon.

If it's hypocrisy and projection that are the overarching themes of our current political landscape, then let's be crystal clear: Whatever you personally feel about Donald Trump, there is no doubt that he is arguably the most honest and clean individual to have been elected president, if not any other office in recent American history if not all time. He has also been the most positively consequential president in a century. Absolutely everything Donald Trump is being persecuted for, it is Joe Biden, his son, everyone in his orbit as well as the Clintons and Obamas and all their acolytes that are guilty of. And more.

As for Jamie Raskin, for perhaps the only time in my life, I'm rooting for cancer. Evil is evil and I'm not going to hold back.

In any case, Hunter Biden is not only guilty of contempt of Congress, but the idiot crackhead scumbag might actually have implicated his degenerate father of the crimes they all claim to be innocent.

Hunter Biden showed he has his father’s chutzpah Wednesday when he blew off a congressional subpoena to hold a woe-is-me press conference on Capitol Hill. “I’m here. I’m ready,” he said, and then swept away in his motorcade without answering a single question. Like father, like son.

Of course, there’s nothing bold or brave about inviting a contempt charge from Congress when you have Daddy’s pardon power in your back pocket.

Hunter could have taken his entourage over to the House hearing room where Oversight Chairman James Comer was waiting for him to testify — and simply pleaded the Fifth, to avoid complicating his twin indictments on tax and gun charges. Instead, he chose a cocky public-relations strategy to manipulate the public narrative by painting himself as an object of pity and playing on the kind hearts of the American people, a cynical artform his father has employed to great effect throughout his political career.

“MAGA Republicans ridiculed my struggle with addiction. They belittled my recovery and they have tried to dehumanize me, all to embarrass and damage my father who has devoted his entire life to service,” Hunter said. That’s the art. But from Daddy’s point of view, the most important line in Hunter’s five-minute oration was his double denial of the president’s role in his family’s shady influence-peddling scheme in corrupt and adversarial countries where, as VP, he was point man for the Obama administration.

“There’s no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business,” said Hunter. And: “My father was not financially involved in my business.”

Joe Biden was ”not financially involved” is a significant shifting of the goal posts. It is a carefully parsed, legalistic phrase, that looks as if it has been workshopped to death in a campaign war room before being dropped into Hunter’s soup of self-pity. That is the message from the White House, delivered by a hostage who needs Daddy’s pardon to stay out of jail. It bears no relation to all the [fake] president’s previous denials.

Joe Biden has gone from years of saying: “I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their business, period” to this summer’s line from the White House: “The president was never in business with his son” — and now to this latest transmutation: Joe “was not financially involved in [Hunter’s] business.” That’s quite an admission, right there, that the mountains of evidence produced by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler and the parade of credible witnesses and bank records assembled by Comer and colleagues have become impossible to deny. Not that Biden and his White House gaslighters will ever stop denying the undeniable.

Unfortunately for the Bidens, just hours before Hunter’s press conference, the transcript of the latest testimony of Ziegler and Shapley was published by the House Ways and Means Committee.

You can read the rest of Miranda Devine's story where she goes into detail about how the two whistleblowers completely destroy Democrats who attempted to both smear them and claim there was zero evidence implicating Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants in anything illegal. They had mountains of it and were erudite and thorough in showing it.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, in the mirror universe where the entire criminal justice system is focused like Goldfinger's laser on 007's inseam to destroy Donald Trump with absolutely ZERO evidence, of all people hack-in-black Judge Tanya Chutkan might have thrown a big monkey wrench into DA Jack Smith's attempt to totally sabotage Trump's 2024 campaign, which could potentially lead to his imprisonment.

Obama-appointed District Judge Tanya Chutkan paused former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election trial schedule while the appeal for his presidential immunity claim is pending. In early December, Chutkan rejected Trump’s bid to have his case dismissed based on presidential immunity, prompting Trump to appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Chutkan agreed Wednesday to pause pre-trial deadlines and further proceedings pending the appeals court’s decision.

The pause could throw Special Councel Jack Smith’s targeted March 4 trial date into jeopardy and increase the chance that the former president is not put on trial until after the November 2024 presidential election. Smith asked the Supreme Court to take up the presidential immunity question Monday before the D.C. Circuit reaches a decision. The Supreme Court agreed to expedite its consideration of his petition, asking Trump’s attorneys to weigh in by Dec. 20. . .

“If jurisdiction is returned to this court, it will—consistent with its duty to ensure both a speedy trial and fairness for all parties—consider at that time whether to retain or continue the dates of any still-future deadlines and proceedings, including the trial scheduled for March 4, 2024,” Chutkan wrote. Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung called Chutkan’s decision to stay proceedings in the case a “big win” for the former president.

“This is a big win for President Trump and our rule of law, as it derails Deranged Jack Smith’s rush to judgment strategy of interfering in the 2024 Presidential Election in support of Joe Bdien’s campaign,” Cheung said. “They waited almost three years to bring this hoax ‘case’ and are now desperately trying, and failing, to rush it because they know President Trump is dominating the election.”

Smith is literally trying to destroy established legal precedent in stripping presidents of immunity for actions whilst in office. As stated, presidents are not (in theory) above the law and ultimately can face the music for crimes once out of office. But, for the umpteenth freaking time, Donald Trump committed no crime on 1/6/21 or on any other day in office. All he did was use his first amendment rights to protest an election which he believed to be stolen. He did not incite violence, nor call for insurrection. Nor was he anywhere near the Capitol Building when the FBI/DOJ/Capitol PD/Pelosi-engineered false flag op created whatever violence and chaos that occurred.

And on that note, another case has even bigger implications for Trump and the J6 political prisoners still rotting away in the Garland Archipelago:

The defendant, Joseph Fischer, was indicted on seven charges after January 6, but the charge in question is a count under a provision enacted after the Enron scandal for anyone who “corruptly … obstructs, influences and impedes any official proceeding,” known as 18 U.S.C. 1512.

Trump’s allies argue that the provision was clearly intended to cover the destruction of evidence related to white-collar crime and that the Supreme Court’s decision to examine this issue is bad news for U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith and the government’s broad interpretation of the statute.

“Today was a bad day for Jack Smith, and a good day for the rule of law,” former U.S. Ambassador Ken Blackwell exclusively told Breitbart News. Prosecutors say Fischer assaulted the police to disrupt the congressional certification of the results of the 2020 election and that his actions fit under 18 U.S.C. 1512. Although Trump is not part of Fisher’s case, the statute is a central piece of Smith’s criminal prosecution of the former president. That trial is scheduled to begin March 4, 2024, but the Supreme Court’s ruling on this issue could delay that start date. If it rules that Fisher cannot be charged for obstructing an official proceeding, Smith’s case against Trump could be significantly handicapped.

“The criminal law at issue here is the heart of Jack Smith’s prosecution of President Trump,” said Blackwell. “Biden’s Justice Department now must try justifying pursuing President Trump. The result should be that the courts will hold that this statute does not apply to these facts. This is a power grab where those in power are desperately attempting to jail Biden’s leading 2024 rival.”

Judge Greg Katsas of the D.C. Circuit appeals court dissented from the appellate decision, holding that Section 1512 applies here, indicating that the statute used by Smith has never been used for this purpose because it was not intended to be used in such a manner.

“Section 1512(c)(2) has been on the books for two decades and charged in thousands of cases—yet until the prosecutions arising from the January 6 riot, it was uniformly treated as an evidence-impairment crime,” he wrote. “This settled understanding is a ‘powerful indication’ against the government’s novel position.”

This is all encouraging news, but as we have sadly learned the hard way, we shouldn't get our hopes up. Not with a dodgy at best Supreme Court and certainly not with a totally corrupt DC court system, to say nothing of a government and political class that is completely bereft of morals, ethics and common sense. The fact that Donald Trump is even on trial for this, along with the complete bullshit charges of Fanni Willis, Alvin Bragg and the unrelated yet totally fabricated case against Trump's real estate empire by Letitia James is in and of itself an indicator that we are a banana republic. The powers that be will stop at nothing. And that means taking Trump out physically.

I try to be as optimistic as possible but in the face of everything we have witnessed, you have to be a realist. Still, it is amazing nevertheless that with every charge and accusation hurled at Trump, his popularity jumps in the polls. Not just with the base but even in places like the black community that have been in the Democrats' pocket for 60 years. If Trump is kneecapped, or worse, finds himself in a prison cell, we're now talking potentially about a black swan event with huge implications. There are some of you I know who don't think anything that radical as mass protest on the part of the American people will happen. And your position is not without merit.

Still, there is anger out there. And it is bubbling up.

We’re finding out in Chicago where blacks are increasingly dismayed by the city giving illegal aliens resources that once went to the black community. And in a city plagued by crime, it turns out that at least some blacks prefer the familiar black criminals as opposed to the new illegal alien criminals. News broke yesterday that the president of the Illinois NAACP got in trouble because she called illegal aliens rapists, robbers, and even “savages”:

In a recent Zoom call meeting with NAACP leaders from around the state, [Teresa] Haley answered a question from a participant. That’s when she began talking about all the migrants coming to Chicago, saying how they are living on the streets, and that Black people have been in similar predicaments for a long time, and no one cares. “But, these immigrants have come over here, they’ve been raping people, they’ve been breaking into homes. They’re like savages as well. They don’t speak the language, and they look at us like we were crazy,” Haley said.

What Haley discovered after saying this is that, while blacks are untouchable if they insult whites, Jews, Asians, and LGBTQ+ people, there’s a new, more important victim group in town, and that would be Hispanics. Practically within seconds of word getting out about Haley’s statement, people were demanding that she step down:

Gov. JB Pritzker denounced those comments on Tuesday. “Reprehensible remarks, I would hope that she would apologize for the remarks. I also think that people should recognize that immigrants to this country are all around us,” Pritzker said

It’s important to note here that Pritzker did not demand that Harvard president Claudine Gay step down after saying that calling for the mass murder of Jews wasn’t harassment unless it got…you know, really, really bad. But in America in 2023, a black woman cannot insult Hispanic illegal aliens. This makes perfect political sense. Blacks are declining as a percentage of the population. In 1790, they were 19.3% of the population. By the time of the Civil War, that had declined to 14.1%. After the Civil War, when America had its huge immigration boom, their representation in the population declined to a low of 9.7%.

When the United States shut its doors on mass immigration, the black population began to grow again. Immediately after WWII, blacks were part of the baby boom. However, beginning in the 1960s, with birth control, and the 1970s, with abortion, the black population’s growth slowed tremendously.  In 2020, they were only 12.4% of the American population.Meanwhile, Hispanics have been exploding as a percentage of the American population. In 2011, Hispanics were 16.7% of the population. By 2020, the population had grown by 23% in just a decade, making Hispanics the largest non-white racial group in America. And of course, that doesn’t count the millions who have come into America illegally on Biden’s watch.

The bottom line is that, as people like Haley are discovering, blacks may still be favored in academia but, when it comes to pure politics, they’ve been pushed aside in favor of a larger voting bloc. This was inevitable. When your politics are about fighting over the spoils rather than improving the country for all, it’s going to get ugly when the spoils diminish and another, bigger victim group wants its piece of the pie.

First off, though this woman's referring to illegals as "savages" at first glance is vulgar, there is a not insignificant element of truth to this. Lest we forget, a very large proportion if not the majority of violent crimes committed in the US are now committed by illegal aliens. And while most illegals aren't violent criminals, the fact remains that 100% of them, once they set foot on our soil without permission are criminals by virtue of that action alone.

In any case here's the link with a shock poll showing Trump has nearly doubled his support from blacks over what he had in 2020. And if I remember correctly, he had increased black support from his first victory in 2016 and more than any other GOP candidate ever. Ditto the Latino bloc.

While this is good news, as the estimable Andrea Widburg states, the root cause of anger is the perception, and rightly so, by blacks that Uncle Sugar is passing them by when it comes to the bennies. What black America is not realizing is that it's their party, the Democrat Party, and the Leftist movement that has fucked them over for generations since before the Civil War and afterwards up to the present day. Their policies and keeping them in political chains has resulted in essence to their, dare I say it, "genocide" – a genocide that has been blamed on capitalism, whites and America as founded.

A smart politician can and must use this as the wedge to cleave black America from the Left once and for all. Trump got closer than anyone back in 2016 when he told them straight up "What have you got to lose by voting for me?" The result was more blacks and other minorities off the dole and working at good jobs than ever before. They saw it. Hopefully they see it now. Joey's destruction should make it crystal clear, especially to them.

"Inshalla."

13 Japan, UK, Italy sign joint fighter jet treaty
AFP; 12/14/23
Japan, Britain and Italy signed Thursday a treaty formalising plans to jointly develop a next-generation fighter jet to pool resources and better face new threats.

“This combat air aircraft, due to take to the skies by 2035, aims to harness next-generation technologies and become one of the world’s most advanced, interoperable, adaptable and connected fighter jets in service globally,” Britain’s defence ministry said after the signing in Tokyo.

“The supersonic stealth jet will boast a powerful radar that can provide 10,000 times more data than current systems, giving a battle-winning advantage,” the statement said.

The headquarters of the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) will be in Britain, under the agreement inked a year after the cooperation was first announced, the countries said.

The first chief executive will be Japanese and the head of the industry organisation will be from Italy, Britain’s defence ministry said in a statement. [...]

The cooperation pools resources from Britain and Italy’s joint Tempest project with those of Japan’s next-generation fighter plane F-X.

No. Just routine. This is how it works now. Congress has spent every moment since at least the New Deal shirking its responsibility (and thus abdicating its power) while engaging in naked and public self-abasement. Every moment in Congress is more pathetic, weak, impotent and degrading than the last.

At this point, humiliation is part not of the kink, but of the very fiber of Congress. It not only likes being humiliated, it *needs* to be humiliated. Humiliation and contempt - self-contempt and the contempt in which it and its constituent parts are held by outsiders - is its very lifeblood.

When Congress hands out a contempt or perjury charge or holds an investigation, it is like when a masochist deliberately misbehaves for his mistress. He is not really rebellious, he just craves the retribution she'll mete out in their game of mutual codependency. The Deep State wears the leather and oils the whip while Congress whimpers excitedly on its way into the restraints, as excited to receive the humiliating pantomime of punishment.

43 was over by the libary yesterday & I saw the latest "memoir" by a capitol pig who was almost killed in the Insurrection (incited by the demonic tyrant Trump); the purple prose of praise for his (ghostwriter's) literary acumen on the back cover was by swalwell, raskin, and pelosi.

the week hardly goes by that another one of these hardback turds doesn't show up on the shelves; last week it was cheney's ramblings, week before that was the G-d-cursed chimptato hybrid ... it seems to have become a genre ...

What’s more, granting Harvard a score of 0.00 is generous. Its actual score is -10.69, more than six standard deviations below the average and more than two standard deviations below the second-to-last school in the rankings, its Ivy League counterpart, the University of Pennsylvania.

Then, on Oct. 7, ordinary Gazans joined in a terrorist attack that left more than one in four of her neighbors in Kibbutz Nir Oz dead or abducted. For many members of Nir Oz and other Israelis, the atrocities of Oct. 7--and particularly the broad participation of the Gazan public in the day--destroyed their faith in coexistence with the Palestinians.

The Progs' "coalition"-based power structure depends - and has always depended - on one thing: adequate amounts money squeezed out of non-coalition members. They had enough of that to buy off the urban blacks and a chunk of the urban whites (the gays, like the Jews, largely self-finance - even worse for the "coalition" because that means they can leave).

With the addition of millions of dirt-poor and uneducated Latinos brought in to shore up the coalition, there ain't enough money anymore. Not for the payoff, and certainly not for the payoff *and* the Party's rake-off.

Hurt feelings are going to be rampant for a while. Will it be enough to fracture the "coalition?" I dunno. My guess is that it will not, but I am open to being surprised.

The GOP doesn't seem to understand that impeachment, for this clown, isn't about removing him from office. That will never happen.

It's about airing out his family's dirty laundry, publicly. Opening the books. Demonstrating how corrupt he is.

The problem, as I see it is that it would also demonstrate how corrupt the rest of FedGov is.

65 A smart politician can and must use this as the wedge to cleave black America from the Left once and for all. Trump got closer than anyone back in 2016 when he told them straight up "What have you got to lose by voting for me?" The result was more blacks and other minorities off the dole and working at good jobs than ever before. They saw it. Hopefully they see it now. Joey's destruction should make it crystal clear, especially to them.

72 Treacle (/ˈtriːkəl/)[1] is any uncrystallised syrup made during the refining of sugar.[2][3] The most common forms of treacle are golden syrup, a pale variety, and black treacle, a darker variety similar to molasses. Black treacle has a distinctively strong, slightly bitter flavour, and a richer colour than golden syrup.[4] Golden syrup treacle is a common sweetener and condiment in British cuisine, found in such dishes as treacle tart and treacle sponge pudding.

Which comes on the heels of the elite universities' very bad month and Musk's recent comments on the discernible and rapid decline in quality of graduates from American universities.

Musk is actually quite good at both throwing red meat *and* using that meat-throwing to prep the battlespace for what he's planning to do next. He isn't flawless, of course - he also sometimes sticks his feet in his mouth with little or no plan for what comes next - but he does better than most.

Another, perhaps bigger problem, is the belief that black voters in democrat controlled districts are allowed to vote, when the evidence suggests that the "vote totals" are manufactured ahead of time and reported without any regard for what the supposed voters in those districts wanted, or didn't want.

Unless you can control vote security, trying to appeal to one group or another is a false achievement.

For many members of Nir Oz and other Israelis, the atrocities of Oct. 7--and particularly the broad participation of the Gazan public in the day--destroyed their faith in coexistence with the Palestinians.

Yup. 2020 has made me tone down - and often completely avoid - my laughter about the destruction of cities with the notion of "well, they voted for it." It's true in a sense because they elected and re-elected these people who destroyed elections to positions where they could go on to destroy elections, but how many urban elections have been legitimately won by the Progs over the past 15 or 20 years?

Some, surely. Maybe even most. California cities may be widely legitimate elections - Newsom won his recall by commanding margins unlikely through mere fraud, even by CA standards - but many if not most others are fully "managed."

I feel no *sympathy* for those cities and the disasters they now face, though.

We’re told that Western culture is bad because a multicultural collective did not craft it. That makes no sense. Virtually every culture in human history has been built by members of a single race. There weren’t a lot of whites helping to craft the Mali Empire in Africa, a lot of blacks at the center of the Chinese Middle Kingdom, a lot of yellow people helping to build the Inca Empire or a lot of brown people helping to build Russia or the Russian Empire. No, most of human history has been dominated by monochromatic empires, nations, and cultures.

It was one of two things that marked the beginning of what I call the Great Convergence, when the integration of the parties kicked into high gear in the early 90s. When "both sides agree" - especially on a major shift - it means that the fix is in. What did "both sides agree" on? Immigration (more - by any means possible and regardless of consequence) and asymmetrical free trade (more - by any means possible and regardless of consequence).

There was no reason to agree on these things. The Dems should have fought unrestricted asymmetrical free trade tooth and nail - it was, after all, still at least masquerading as the party of labor. It didn't. The Reps should have fought an open border tooth and nail - it was, after all, still at least masquerading as conservative (social and political) party. It didn't.

"Both sides agree" kicked into high gear with those, and the Great Convergence began.

180 Sadly, the body of another hostage was recovered yesterday, a black Tanzanian agricultural intern who had been working on a kibbutz. I believe that's 5 hostages bodies covered so far, and I suspect that Israel has concluded that most of the missing hostages are already dead, or are about to be. That would be why there's no longer any interest in negotiating for releases.

as to why they would have executed the Tanzanian - some of the released hostages have reported that they saw Hamas executing any hostage that gave them any trouble. We will probably never know the exact reason, but it doesn't matter now. Revenge for his death, and all who died with him, is all that matters.

and this also highlights why Israel was correct to negotiate for some of the hostages when they could - in all likelihood, the 110 that were released are the only ones who will ever make it home alive. (barring some miracle)

185 According to the flyer, the IDF will pay a sum of $400,000 for information leading to the location of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, and $300,000 for help in locating his brother Mahmoud.

A sum of $200,000 will be given in exchange for information leading to the finding of Rafeh Salama, commander of Hamas' Khan Younis Brigade. Details leading to the location of Mohammed Deif will be rewarded with $100,000.

I continue to take the other side of this. We'll see over the next year if I am right.

If the Fed can get away with *holding* rates, they will. I suspect no cuts, though. Maybe an experimental cut in the spring that they then reverse later - likely after the election, but even that I have at low odds. The core driver of inflation is government overspending (deficits) coupled with the increasing inability to sequester that overspending in trade flows (the trade flows aren't growing quickly enough, and we've fucked off quite a bit of capacity for it with the Russia sanctions). Neither of those core drivers have changed, so none of my assumptions are changing.

Another factor is the Fed's commitment to the Dollar. The Fed has always defended the USD when the chips are down. The chips are down, and Powell appears to be a traditionalist in this regard.

222 I mentioned this earlier this morning but will bring it forward.

"In some excellent news for millions of eBay sellers, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced another delay of the $600 reporting threshold for Form 1099-K.

As a result, for tax year 2023, sellers will receive a Form 1099-K only if their 2023 sales exceed $20,000 and 200 transactions, they had backup withholding applied in 2023, or are residents of states with a lower reporting threshold. For tax year 2024, the IRS announced plans for a $5,000 reporting threshold."


The IRS discouraged millions from selling on Ebay all year by threatening to collect income tax on sales, and then changed the rules at the end of the year. Assholes.

266 If Trump truly had a "demonstrable love of country" over himself, he would not run for President and instead leave that to persons who know and understand the full powers of the Executive. He failed in nearly every aspect of those - hiring swamp creatures all around him, failing to clean house in the DOJ, etc al, and following along like a buffoon w the Mueller stupidity just to name but a few - and the country suffered mightily. Oh wait, no that was "his handlers" I forgot, nevermind.

So, if I understand your point, Trump is an authoritarian but he's an incompetent one. He could have fired people in the civil service, but he chose not to. He could have put into place people the Senate would not confirm, but he chose not to. He could have selected better lieutenants, better than the people WE all lauded when he picked them, but he chose not to.

YOUR preferred candidate, however, they'll make everything better.

Oh, it's being taken into account - it's just not being addressed yet.

Most of us have known the type. There's a big fat guy who's a heavy drinker, a heavy smoker, drives his car way too fast and likes to do some cocaine. The guy is at high risk of death. He knows it. His friends and family know it. The average stranger on the street knows it.

Those guys have one of three outcomes. Rarely, they wake up and fix things. It happens, but it's unusual. Sometimes, there's a major disaster - a heart attack, a car wreck, a prison sentence, etc. - and he understands the near miss and reluctantly - even hatefully - gets back on track. He doesn't like it, but he does it because he wants to live and he had the warning. The final category are those who never learn, get right back in the thick of it, and party until they die.

Our government is, at best, in group two. Interest rates and inflation are the heart attack, car wreck, prison sentence, etc.

296 Russia Has Lost Almost 90% of Its Prewar Army, U.S. Intelligence Says": The Wall Street Journal
The war in Ukraine has devastated Russia’s preinvasion military machine, with nearly 90% of its prewar army lost to death or injury, and thousands of battle tanks destroyed, according to a newly declassified U.S. intelligence assessment shared with Congress.

republicans will make damn sure that Putin and Russia come out on top of the Ukraine. The Kremlin aides here in congress will not allow any funds to be given to the Ukraine since they gained a majority eleven months ago.

I read just the opposite in a Max Blumenthal article- Ukraine could have as many as 500,000 dead & injured and that 60,000 Ukrainian men fled the country. Don’t really know what to believe. Video of older Ukrainian soldiers - read they are drafting 50 & 60 yr old men.

here is Jeffrey Sacks tweet: Ukraine has lost Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, most of Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia forever. If it doesn’t negotiate a peace deal, it will also lose Kharkiv, Odesa, the rest of Kherson, and more. The flag wavers who think they’re helping Ukraine are just dismembering it.

Same dynamic. The Prog complex runs everything and have their cliques, power networks, shifting alliances, etc. It's a system always at war with itself because there is no external participant. Well, Trump is the very rare case of an external participant. He's the lunch lady, and so they *all* can agree to hate and destroy him while they continue their games against each other.

Brandon is a lifelong career criminal. Brandon is senile. Brandon's administration has devastated the economy and impoverished millions of Americans.

331 We can't do that! If we cut off international aid (most of which is not military - Israel is fairly exceptional in that it receives virtually *only* military aid rather than "humanitarian" or "development"), the countries that receive it will either start doing okay on their own or will find another benefactor to enslave them.

We can't have that.

I'll meet in the middle.

You can continue receiving aid, but we get a vote in your actions for as long as you keep cashing those checks. If you refuse our desire you lose the cash immediately.

(FWIW this is said in the pretend world of 2000 or so before we learned that we are f*cking with everyone and everything just to launder money for our betters)

The national debt is the 800 lb gorilla in the room.

We've spent $30T we didn't have on welfare, mostly for illegals and "immigrants".

There are only three ways to handle that level of debt

1) Inflation
2) National Bankruptcy
3) Massive appropriation of property from others.

I suspect the Junta plan is 1 and 3. If we regain power I'd like to see us try #3 back against them...

Heh.

Even better that there was a good chance the land she was showing as ready and able to support new Americans was Native American reservation land or already owned by Fedgov.

Strange crew up there with Hunt on the podium yesterday, Rep. Eric Stalwell, (Patrick) Kevin Morris (He & wife formerly from PA). Stranger were Hunt's words, i.e.,: "My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist,” he said.
