“Trump to Use ‘Mother of all Bombs’”. Oh. My. God. Twitterati losing their pearls over this. But using 5 normal bombs is better? That’s okay then? No? No bombs are okay? Just say so, we must surrender to anyone who asks, never use pointy sticks or anything. No? Back to a bomb larger than a breadbox is okay? Then what’s the deal with a Bomb 10 pounds larger than that?

C’mon. Use your heads, not your Feels. I shouldn’t have to tell adults this.

Also: THERE IS A CARRIER THERE – Oh NO!!! My brothers in Christ, there is ALWAYS a carrier there. The carriers aren’t really DOING anything right now, which I hope is the point.

“Iran is on High Alert” They’re in the middle of a g-dd—n WAR, people, OF COURSE they are on high alert. The U.S. is just yanking their chain, doing nothing.

“Iran is PANICKING About the MOAB!!!” No. They are not. It’s just a bomb, they know all about it. They’re probably laughing and eating Shwarma with the bunker doors shut.

At the same time, Davis and Fox are saying EXACTLY when the U.S. will attack, the attack will take exactly three days, they are reporting the name of every bomb, and the Airmen are named “Rufus” and “Bob”. C’mon. R U Srs? WHEN have they ever been right? Yeah, SOMETIME they will attack. And CLEARLY Fox News has been wrong about every bomb since 2001, when George Bush was a child. “They will greet us with flowers.”

This is a day after they predicted Trump was nuking everybody, which is a week after they predicted a total U.S. surrender. For Pete’s sake.

It’s not that they’re wrong; it’s that we wake up every day and pretend they are meaningful again. 230 days they’ve been wrong. Today isn’t different. Tomorrow isn’t either.

In other news, although not moving the election much, or at all, Iran is certainly giving Trump a hard time, very strong in holding out on all fronts. The problem is, this is only irritating, it doesn’t change the overall math. I mean, what’s the end state on that branch of the logic tree? They become as successful as North Korea? They live in a heap of imploded rubble? #Winning. It’s not not being Persian to just be the Persian version of Turkey. In the West, all the virtue-signaling will love it, because they get their feels, not caring about the actual experience of the Persian race. Virtue-sellers are Same as Black Pilling: they’re happy to get to be right because everybody dies.

“”We have A Zero-Tolerance Policy”: High School Student “Punished” For Expressing Support For The ‘Cornell 7’

We know the outcome, the guilt or innocence BEFORE the trial. GSR, all innuendo, no facts, the feminine way of being. (Note event is a High School, not Cornell). An attack on the American Judicial system, same as Clancy was on the Jury system: you are NOT innocent until proven guilty, and this is so common, every (female) teacher coast to coast does it and enforces it with active punishment. That is, they do not believe in America. But is this even a Socialist moral belief? Where does it come from?

Similar vein where we make stuff up for politics, it appears the recent shooter was transgender and they’re hiding it for the moment, until the newscycle means it won’t be broadcast when they leak it out later. Not care for facts or safety, only signaling. My side, and when everybody dies, I have the joy of being right!

“NYC Sanctuary Laws Survive As Judge Rules Feds Can’t Force City To Help ICE

Speaking of law, this is probably true. I guess Congress could pass a law requiring states to share and have duty, but that might still have to clear USSC. Essentially, these problems have social solutions. Conservatives are bad at this, since it’s hard to describe the obvious.

America at work:

“Zelensky Blames Trump for Ukraine’s Defeat” – Duran

Yes. And here is the exact purpose of “RussiaRussia”. If Trump does ANYTHING except nuke Russia, he’s PutinPuppet. We heard this for years. This is the whole reason for Fox News’ existence. Duran says this too, but in a slightly more clever way – that he’s “betraying” a war he never approved of.

But this is just proving my point on the “Narrative” positioning, and how everyone is radically, rabidly pro-war, and also widely the supposed anti-war ones. Like the Duran. WHO would say this? And WHY? Logically, only one group: a group that wants war, wants America to fight it for them, and will profit if that happens. WHO is that group? ‘Cause it sure ain’t us. Not Russia. Pretty sure it’s not Ukraine or Poland.

This exchange is interesting, as Christo says the whole war is Trump’s war, who gave unreserved help – even as Trump wasn’t in office and was against it when out of office, then took stopping the war as a top ten priority. Mercouris now backs up from the similar position – that’s why they’re co-hosts – and instead disagrees now, saying Obama sent the Javelins, Trump did nothing during his term or nothing but a low-level continuation.

So he’s re-writing what he’s been saying for months. And says Trump crossed Putin while at the same time admitting Alex has no idea WHAT was in Anchorage. How can you know it was betrayed, if you don’t know what was written? “I don’t know what Trump did, but whatever it was, he did it.” — Mercouris translation. Huh??? This does not strike him as odd. That’s like saying “I don’t know what’s in the bag, the bag might be empty, but it’s also the stolen goods.” Look: you either know and have something to compare against, or you don’t. (He doesn’t. No one does.)

But back to Ze, who is using the “It’s Trump’s fault we lost” plan, which I pointed out, geez, probably day one or 2023 or something. If Trump doesn’t escalate to nuking and invading Russia – aka “Plan A” – then it’s all his/America’s fault! Ze is just got with the program, is handed his script. It now looks strange and tired tho.

America evil, America bad; stopping the Russia war is BAD.

(the Duran says) Ze is ALSO saying that he is election-rigging and picking our leaders because he knows the Democrats are radically pro-war. And he’s right. Wait: I thought war was BAD, we shouldn’t bomb people. But really it’s just that they want us to bomb RUSSIA and not Iran! Remember the BRIICS argument? We should let BRIICS be? Well that’s all okay now so long as we swap wars: NO Iran, YES Russia. Not YES Iran, NO Russia – that would be silly, ‘natch. So says everyone, Left + Right.

So both parties want a war, are Pro-war, it’s just an argument over which war. And EUROPE wants a war – badly. It’s just a question of which one. Ah. I see. And you wonder why I think they aren’t moral actors but are all full of s—t and talking their book, and don’t believe a word.

And again, Christo here saying it was always Trump’s war, he’s the only one responsible the whole time, from 2014 to now. That’s Not a moral actor, Alex. Not in good faith. And completely, factually wrong. He knows it, and says it anyway because his hatred of the U.S. means Europe is not responsible for anything. His hatred for Trump means he doesn’t notice that Ze wants to election-rig the Democrats in because they are radically pro-Russia war. That’s perfectly moral and not worthy of discussion to him. Mercouris’s new assertion that all the weapons in Ukraine were already being made in 2016 before Trump took office likewise has no impression on him, because: Obama. Obama = Good. The fact that they are sold to Europe and then forwarded to Ukraine, likewise no impression, because then how do we hate America? Europe would be a an actor with agency and responsibility which is unthinkable to him. Then HE would have responsibility. He couldn’t blame others.

Christo: “Russia is launching these hypersonics which makes it difficult to detect, and HOW EMBARRASSING for the United States” Why? I dgaf. Trump dgaf. Nobody dgaf. You made it up. Why? Meta-assumption that we SHOULD care, ARE involved, and Should stop them, stop the missiles, stop Russia. Really? Why? Why would we do that or care? Dunno, Christo adopted this belief in 1990 and hasn’t had any thoughts since, so…

Mercouris agrees, “Yes, it’s very, very embarrassing”. Huh? Why? Was it embarrassing Japan had better warships than us in WWII? Was it embarrassing the Panzer was a better tank? No, we just went around it. The very concept makes no sense. Also they’re always fixated on everyone’s internal emotional state, which means nothing to me. Or us, I guess, I live here. I can only presume Europeans – or perhaps everyone except us – lives only based on vibes and feels and never facts and realities. I think THAT is embarrassing. I don’t care if Germany is happy or sad about our breaking the Battle of the Bulge. Nor do I care if WE are happy or sad about it. Only that I offload enough tanks in French harbors and have enough gas trucks to drive them north and win. I have no feelings one way or another about it besides that.

I can’t believe this is radical position, yet these guys are supposedly experts and pundits who measure nothing but whether Brittany embarrassed Chelsey in gym class. And was Chelsey embarrassed enough? Because she’s a slut. Da heckin dis?

–Thanks for having all these emotions on our behalf, I guess, so we don’t have to waste our time.–

So Duran’s theory of the day is “ACKSHULLY, the U.S. is the only actor, and only the U.S. wants to invade Russia” but “They’re afraid of the hypersonic missiles that they can’t stop” and therefore “are cutting off Starlink” (huh???) and …something something. So because America wants to invade and double the war, they therefore are cutting off all the intel, so we lose instead and DON’T double the war. Because Yes = No.

I think you need a new theory, guys.

I bring this up, because this is EVERYONE. Their reasons shift hour to hour to be able to keep to the same conclusion. If black makes the U.S. bad, it’s black today. If white makes the U.S. bad, it’s white today, and it shifts hour to hour to keep the compass point tirelessly at “Pro War” from Europe, and the world.

Example: 18:00 they then say stopping Tomahawk missiles back when was actually providing the missiles, and turning off Starlink is really turning it on so they can shoot deep Russia missiles. Then they make up this is all about the diesel deal, which they admit they know nothing about — and this is the diesel that has no effect, remember, being too small, so Trump will definitely sell out the whole nation for a deal that makes no difference. …Because that makes America bad, and it’s the worst scenario they can fabricate in their minds, so it must therefore definitely be true. …Although they know nothing about it, they say.

Trump and every official channel denies this, so therefore it is true. Because they just made it up.

And you wonder why I don’t try to stay abreast and cover these people, this sort of thing anymore. I mean, if you’re just going to make up Fan Fiction, denying all facts, making up others, and then standing agog saying you don’t understand why any of these nations do what they do, then why not just read Dan Koonz and Tom Clancy and be done with it. At least that pure fiction is rewarding and we don’t delude ourselves it’s real.

Gosh this is dum.

Here’s an idea: let’s talk about FACTS.

Sachs Interview: “Globalists like me are being shut out of the U.S. so I’m going to refocus on Europe, particularly re-colonizing Africa.” Wow. So that’s how it is now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vud5oIz1QA

P.S. Europe’s terror of Russia isn’t irrational at all, maybe ask more questions: if they don’t conquer Russia, they will collapse. That’s worth being very afraid of, and irrationally violent.

Oddly, he believes Africa should be educated, as if that would matter. I mean, look at him. He’s Harvard and Columbia and it didn’t help him at all. It’s hard to find dumber people in America than those sets. His forte at Columbia is the Earth Institute and Center for Sustainable Development. So he has a career in creating 15-minute concentration camps and killing everyone by shutting down energy and installing windmills. There’s no one in Arkansas who’s dumb enough to believe and promote that, much less for human rights, but Sachs will! Can I donate to a fund that will promise to keep Sachs and Columbia U. OUT of Africa?

(P.S. 21:00 everything is the U.S.’s fault. Europe has no agency, ability, or responsibility.)
(P.P.S. 25:00 Diesen: Trump is the perfect wake up call for Europe NOT to do this. That’s why it’s Trump’s fault they did this.)
(P.P.P.S. 26:00 Europe is broke, that’s why they need more EU bureaucracy, more layers of government, and “more Europe”)

27:00 Minute mark, Dr. takes a long walk to keep his everloving sanity intact.
