  1. It’s not just sad and harmful, it involves a level of intellectual dishonesty that will taint the science for generations to come. The tainted science will have a cascade effect through the economy, the expenditure on misdirected efforts to curb a problem where there is incomplete, or inaccurate understanding, and could potentially lead to environmental consequences wholly disproportionate to the actual issues at hand. Science needs to return to an objective assessment of the facts to produce a complete story. Agendas cannot have a place in true scientific evaluation. And money, while important to make scientific study happen in the first place, cannot be allowed to predetermine the outcome of that research. These scientific publications are actively working to fabricate inaccurate conclusions. True scientists must be horrified to see what should be objective assessments corrupted by ideology and, most importantly, money. When you are no longer able to trust the science, you are sending civilization on a slippery slope to collective idiocy, but where most people don’t realize they are idiots because they have never been informed of the truth. Aka we’re rotating in a helical motion on an inclined plane. 🙁
  2. What Ukraine lacks is decent air support. Even with the amateur hour farce that is Russian air tactics, the lack of any kind of sustained battlefield air support is making things difficult for Ukraine.
  3. And this is how the media keep the Democrats’ Big Lie going. There is nothing new to report, so they just rehash was has already been said, to keep DJT front and centre of the news cycle. No matter how realistic some of these indictments may be, there are so many of them, he MUST be guilty. Over and over again, the song remains the same. It fills News volume, so the media doesn’t have to go looking for real stories, stories that affect the USA now, that imperil national security, that affect trade, health and immigration. None of that is as important as rehashing, in as many ways as possible, that DJT has to be guilty. Joseph Goebbels would be proud.
  4. Come on, Babylonbee. At least try to be satirical 😩
  5. Right now, China and India are not on good terms and haven’t been for quite some time, so it would likely be a case of one or the other, not both. India, I would suggest is less likely to do so, as they are courting the West more for the military hardware they don’t manufacture in-country. Support Russia and that goes away in a hurry. China is the more likely benefactor, but they have their own problems. The economy there is facing a massive correction, and they may not want to invest in an unpopular war in Europe, when their own focus is Taiwan. Iran, on the other hand, has no such qualms and the US has paid them significant sums of money in the recent past. What better way to thumb their nose at “The Great Satan”?
  6. Bankrupting Russia financially may be fast, but bankrupting Ukraine of a generation of fighting age population may well be faster. 🙁
  7. And the GOP Supermajority had to override the veto by Governor Beshear to pass this legislation. Most commentators agree that Beshear, if given the opportunity, will ignore the state legislature, appoint a Democrat and dare the appointment to be challenged in court. He loses nothing by doing so. Even if the court immediately stays his appointment, that will just leave the seat infilled, which is another option he has, so why not give it a go? He has already shown his intent by vetoing the bill, so why would he not choose to challenge this law?
  8. The GOP can’t let that happen. Beshear will appoint a Democrat to fill in before a Special Election.
  9. This move was never meant to squeeze Moscow. It was all about maintaining the supply volume, while setting a cost ceiling, to prevent cost gouging by Russia, which would inevitably be filled by the OPEC bloc. if you wanted to squeeze Russia, follow the last President’s playbook. Oh, wait. We can’t do that. Sleepy Joe guaranteed our return to energy dependence back in 2021 😒
  10. But they don’t ignore it. They actively treat anything they disagree with as disinformation and accept the opposite of what the evidence presents as the “real” situation. Gone are the days of the informed public, supported by an objective, fact-driven media. Trust in the media machine no longer exists, crushed under the weight of agenda-driven. Now we have a divided and factionalized public, entrenched in positions they refuse to consider changing, owing to their deep-seated distrust of the mainstream news outlets.
  11. He can’t release the audio tapes, he’s too busy organizing his involuntary suicide ☠️
  12. He’s working hard at things like … remembering to put his underwear on BEFORE his pants 🤪
  13. And the White House is placing the blame with Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams. Surely it should be the other way round? 🤔 Still, if the Democrats responsible for this unfolding fiasco wise up and realise that securing the border and enforcing the laws we have on the books already will go some way to resolving the issue, we may finally get some progress in stemming the human tide pouring across our Southern border. Or not, which remains far more likely. 🙁
  14. Biden’s DOJ is now suing SpaceX for discriminatory hiring practices, in that they will only hire US Citizens and LPRs 🤔 https://www.space.com/department-of-justice-sues-spacex-hiring-discrimination
  15. The majority of pre-war Germans were good with Hitler, too 🙁
  16. I would like to know why I (non-US citizen), with a NYS area code, residing somewhat above 9,000 ft above sea level (so not IN NYS) am getting texts from a Democrat senatorial candidate in TX, asking for donations. 🤪
  17. Well, this is interesting 🤔 A Russian embassy publishing a map showing Crimea as belonging to Ukraine? https://www.newsweek.com/russian-embassy-releases-map-recognizing-crimea-ukraine-1822820?amp=1
  18. All day and every day … if you are a Republican. If you are a Democrat, that’s just the price of doing business 😒
