ParticipantD Benton Smith, I watched that whole video…
(Citrix hasn’t worked since I started work in October, today they borked my Cisco softphone while trying to fix Citrix, so now I’ve got free time waiting for the phone connection to get fixed…)
My first reaction to all these people with mild postmodernist reactions to a giant demon was – if you kicked them in the crotch while insulting their mother, would they know what to do??? Are they chock full of novocaine, valium, soy, and prozac?
But sir, it SAYS it is a Demon. Aren’t demons evil? Sir, isn’t evil supposed to be bad? Like, particularly, especially bad?
But maybe this is the Soviet survival technique – I don’t know anything, I don’t think anything, I don’t feel anything, please leave me alone — automatic even when it comes to super ugly giant statues in a public park?
If that’s Londoner’s standard defense reflex…. they’re in trouble.
Or if they cannot muster a negative reaction to a giant ugly demon calling itself a demon, they’re in trouble.
so-called Atheist: No public religious symbols!!! especially giant prominent ones that you cannot possibly avoid looking at!
artist: but it’s a Demon
so-called Atheist: oh well that’s alright then, innit

ParticipantVice President Vance has access to better info/facts than what we do.
Europe’s weapons depots are depleted, Russia has a numerical superiority over the Ukrainian Armed Forces, new supplies will not help Kyiv, peace is needed”
US Vice President Vance made a new statement on the situation in Ukraine, adding that “neither the West nor Ukraine had the slightest chance of winning the Ukrainian conflict.”

ParticipantYou’re being set up by the very people who created the problems. Obviously no 1 wants to hear this. I understand you want to believe, to seek hope and light and cheer Jim Jones up on the pulpit, as they hand out the Kool Aid. Quit staring, mesmerized at surface water, get a sense of the undertow. Just like 911, nothing is what it seems. By deception, they rule.

EPA chief Lee Zeldin says revelation ‘extremely concerning’DOGE discovered $2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.
Shortly before leaving office, Biden’s EPA parked the $20 billion located by Zeldin’s team and DOGE officials in an account at Citibank.
While the eight recipients of the funding—which, in addition to Power Forward Communities, includes groups like Climate United Fund, the Coalition for Green Capital, Inclusiv, and Justice Climate Fund—have only tapped into a small slice of the funding so far, the arrangement restricts the Trump administration’s ability to claw the funds back, though Zeldin has made retrieving the funds a priority.February 21, 2025 at 1:41 am #182707zerosum
ParticipantWhat Does Canada need to do to “declared War with Ukraine against Russia”
Copilot:
Declaring war is a significant and complex decision that involves several steps. Here’s a rough outline of what Canada would need to do to declare war, hypothetically speaking:Assessment and Decision: The government would need to assess the situation thoroughly, considering national interests, international law, and the potential consequences. This involves intelligence reports, diplomatic communications, and consultations with allies.
Consultation: The Prime Minister and the Cabinet would consult with key stakeholders, including military leaders, diplomats, and legal experts. Discussions might also involve consultations with allies and international organizations like NATO and the United Nations.
Legislative Approval: The decision to declare war must go through Parliament. The Prime Minister would need to present the case to the House of Commons and seek approval. A vote would be held, and a majority would be needed to proceed.
International Notification: Canada would need to formally notify the international community, including the United Nations and its allies, about its decision. This includes providing justifications for the declaration.
Military Preparations: The Canadian Armed Forces would need to prepare for potential military actions. This involves mobilizing troops, securing resources, and coordinating with allies.
Public Communication: The government would need to communicate the decision to the public, explaining the reasons for the declaration and the steps that will be taken.
It’s important to note that declaring war is a very serious decision with profound consequences. Canada, like many other nations, typically seeks diplomatic solutions and alliances rather than resorting to war.
————-
Show me “Canada declared War with Ukraine against Russia”It seems there might be some confusion here. Canada has not declared war on Ukraine against Russia. Instead, Canada has been actively supporting Ukraine through humanitarian aid, sanctions against Russia, and military assistance.

https://eadaily.com/en/news/2025/02/20/the-us-threatens-kiev-with-sanctions-if-zelensky-does-not-support-trumps-peace-plan-insiderThe US threatens Kiev with sanctions if Zelensky does not support Trump’s peace plan — insider
February 20th, 2025\The deterioration of relations between the current Ukrainian government and the administration of Donald Trump is no longer limited to a tightening of rhetoric.
This was reported on February 20 by the Ukrainian Telegram channel “Resident”, referring to an informed source in Office of the President of Ukraine (OPU). According to him, the White House began to openly put pressure on the leaders of the Kiev regime.
The first “warning shot” was fired by the special representative of the US President for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg.
He handed over to the head of the OPU, Andriy Yermak, documents on all transactions in digital currency carried out by representatives of the Ukrainian authorities since 2020.The Special Representative clearly and unequivocally warned about what would happen if Zelensky did not agree to Trump’s peace plan.
In this case, all Bankova’s transactions on corruption schemes will be published in the Western media, and the US government will impose sanctions, the authors of the insider say.
As EADaily reported, earlier, US President Donald Trump accused the head of the Kiev Zelensky regime of having “offended” US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during the latter’s visit to Kiev.

ParticipantDOGE is proving to be a powerful investigative tool because the stuff it finds are crimes for which the accounting books are themselves often proof of the crime. What DOGE lacks are the teeth (and the subpoena power) which arm the Judicial Branch with material clout and other ways and means of sleuthing around for other types and forms of court admissible evidence.
That’s all fine and dandy, and I reckon we’ll be seeing a lot more action from those other members of Team Trump as they wade into the fray, but there is still an enormous Ace up the sleeve that has not been fully realized. Maybe it’s because it is still being decided in a separate back-alley knife fight over whose sleeve that Ace winds up in.
I’m speaking of Artificial Intelligence, and I don’t mean the heavily restricted, redacted and hog-tied AI that they slop into the troughs for us little piggies to access with our Web Browsers. I mean the top-tier megaton stuff that only the top dogs have access to (for this all-too-brief period of relative calm before it it jail-breaks into the wild and all Hell breaks loose.)
The world runs on computers, and those computers run on AI managed networks, which are ultimately controlled by the usual suspects. The tippy-top Artificial Intelligence, with better thinking and reasoning capabilities than current models, will be the “One Ring That Rules Them All”, and just about as dangerous as the one in the book.
They (our current and Wanna-Be rulers) are already utterly dependent on crude versions of said AI systems. Elon Musk couldn’t fire off a bottle-rocket without the ones that he depends on, and our Keystone Kop military wouldn’t have so badly misjudged the Ukraine debacle without the janky antique version of the AI system that they tried to use.
It is plain to me (and Elon actually voiced it aloud parenthetically when touting his newest version of grok (grok 3) when he said that since AI was destined to rule the human race that we better make damn sure that the AI System likes humans.
I find that more disturbing than being ruled over by a janky antique like the Biden Boyz are using so poorly.
Because the day will come (100% certainty) when that shiny new system is going to do something that we really do not like and there won’t be anything humans can do about it except serve, die or escape into the wastelands and hope not to be found.

Participantsee this from Marianne Williamson . . . ?
Worth a listen.Who ? This woke toxic feminist misandry dei leftist Karen disaster ?
MW- “Maybe it’s because I spent so many years counseling women who had a hard time accepting the fact that her partner was actually not a trustworthy person. You simply learn some things in life. You don’t date narcissists. You don’t excuse bad behavior.
And you don’t accept dictators.”
Ummm, the Nation just rejected this crap. “Liberal Democracy” vs “IllLiberal Democracy”…
oh look a new woke fabricated mentally ill “gender terminology”. “liberal vs Illiberal Democracy”
Can you say batshit crazy? I can.Hypocritically hilarious that she goes on and on claiming Orban is a Dictator…yet somehow neglects to mention Zelensky is an actual Dictator…guess she just “forgot”. Yes it was worth a listen to not be reminded again about the last 4 years of the Biden/ Harris “Democracy”….as in their version of Liberal Democracy equates liberal use of Tyranny, censorship, lawfare, corruption, mutilating children….etc
riesterm- 9/11/24 a day of all days you posted this-
I didn’t watch much of the debate either, but much to my surprise, I came away impressed with KH’s performance.
In all the KH video I’ve seen, none of it was remotely like the performance KH gave last night.
DT seemed rattled while KH was more articulate and practiced in her responses; cleverly coached.
I am wondering how many others had a similar take on what happened last night.
DT was off his game, it seemed. Not a good look, as they say.I listened to this misandry woke feminist, and your words- and I say no thanks to this type of gaslighting insanity. The nation has also said “no thanks”…not because we are racist sexist phobic bigots, because we are tired of Leftist hypocritical lying, gaslighting, corrupt, unethical, disgusting insanity.
Honestly, thank you for once again- illuminating why Democrats and Leftists are truly out of touch with reality and should be nowhere near any form of power or governance…. No more safe spaces for insanity by Govt.
Full Reject.

ParticipantI think that a crucially important point that most of us overlook (including me from time to time, though less often recently) is that our adversaries are not just crazy. They are insane, and most of them don’t have the slightest suspicion of their own condition. Even the ostensible “Good Guys” tend to believe that only having more POWER will save us, when the truth is that nothing could be further from the truth.
It’s the obsessive desire for more personal power that’s killing us in the first place. Save us from THAT, please.

Participantthe performance KH gave last night.
DT seemed rattled while KH was more articulate and practiced in her responses; cleverly coached.Yes,,, a cleverly coached “performance”
Personally…I admire strong leaders who respect the Constitution, NOT cleverly coached performers posing as Political leaders like Kamalalala, or say Zelensky, or Obama. Toxic performers.
Theater is for entertainment and fantasy- performance does not translate well to real world competence or skillful means. I’m tired of performance actors fucking up the world, they can go perform on TV and “West Wing” for morons.
