What Russia has done from the very beginning has been very strategic. They didn’t go straight to Kyiv. They went to all those bioweapons laboratories that are scattered all over the country. Some of them they built. So they know where they are.
They’ve known where they are since the Soviet Union, because under the defense threat reduction program, we went in after the fall of the Soviet Union, and supposedly they turned those facilities from bioweapons labs into public health labs.
Although, you know, these days, it’s hard to believe anything that our leaders tell us because they’ve lied about COVID. They lied about Russia collusion. They lied about the Ukraine impeachment trial. And there’s so much more going on in Ukraine that nobody is talking about.
You see such dishonesty when it comes to the history of Ukraine. You see dishonesty when it comes to the Azov Battalion, which is funded by the U.S. and NATO. I mean, you can find pictures of them online holding up the NATO flag and the swastika.
And at the same time, their own emblem contains the black sun of the occult, which was a Nazi SS emblem. And it also contains the sideways, you know, lightning insignia of the SS.
I mean, this is on throughout the Ukrainian military you can see that black sun of the occult on their body armor, even on the female soldiers who are paraded in front of the world as being, you know, such an example of Ukraine’s independence and spirit and nobility. Even they are wearing the black sun of the occult.
As you’ll see in the clip, there’s much more. Logan even brings up a decade-old comedy bit by Zelensky, claiming that his parody of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” video is a “satanic, occult type of music video.”
Fox is desperate to find something that will stick against Ukraine and Zelensky. Why the Fox network and its hosts are promoting the deception of a world pariah who is attacking a sovereign nation and helping Putin destroy the lives of women / children / men who were not combatants but people going about their lives. Why does Fox give comfort and aid to the enemy? This is an enemy of the US nation, the US people. Is the desire to get a political point or two over the other party worth the supporting of child killers? Are they really pro-life? They disgust me today more than ever.
If you watch or read nothing else I post, watch this. I have been watching it with the CC on and it is very good. After watching it ask yourself, if this was your country and your prime minister or president begging for help, how much good would the moral high ground do you? How much is it worth the deliberate targeting of civilians, the pregnant women and the scared children for you to say you are saving the possible deaths of others as these people die in front of us. If you are pro-life, a birthing hospital was deliberately targeted. Is that not the definition of your most evil acts? We play with money, while these people are paying with their lives. It sickens me as a former US military person, as a proud US citizen, that with all the money we spend to profit the industrial military complex denying our people the benefits of government that other countries have to support a bloated military, we are letting this happen. Either use the might we have to save lives, or cut the damn military budget in half, because it appears they are useless.
Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Herschel Walker’s Senate bid in Georgia.

Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker cast doubt on the theory of evolution in recent remarks, saying the fact that apes and humans coexist disproves accepted science.
“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? … If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it,” Herschel said in an appearance at Sugar Hill Church in Georgia on Sunday.
“Now you’re getting too smart for us, Herschel,” lead pastor Chuck Allen responded.
Walker is currently the front-runner in the GOP contest to challenge Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in November. He’s a former NFL star who has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, and he’s outspoken about his Christian faith.
Walker is hardly the first GOP candidate who has run for office questioning evolution.
Humans did not evolve from the apes that you see at the zoo. Rather, humans and apes have a common (and now extinct) ancestor that lived roughly 10 million years ago. Technically, all humans are apes, but that doesn’t mean that chimpanzees are one step away from becoming people. Walker’s summary of evolution is incorrect, and there’s nothing incompatible about humans coexisting with other apes.
Evolution and Christianity also aren’t necessarily at odds, and a number of prominent Christians have said it is possible to believe in both God and the science of evolution.
The Walker campaign didn’t respond to a request for additional comment.
Walker further dismissed scientific progress, saying science “can’t do” the “conception of a baby.”
“They’re still trying to do that, but they can’t, because there has to be a God,” he said.
Science has, of course, made remarkable progress over the years in assisting people trying to have children, with methods like in vitro fertilization.
In their divorce proceedings, his ex-wife alleged that he displayed “physically abusive and threatening behavior” during their marriage. In one instance, she said, he pointed a gun at her head and said, “I’m going to blow your … brains out.”
Two other women have also claimed that Walker threatened them.
In a December interview with Axios, Walker said he has struggled with mental health issues and is “accountable” for his past actions, without going into specifics about his behavior toward his ex-wife.
Great time to invest in alternative measures like mass transit, high speed rail, and electric vehicles.
You’re being gouged.
Crude oil is below $100/barrel. There are more taxes on gas now than in 2008.
Republicans are willing participants. Corruption is a pillar of authoritarianism.
Russia funds the GOP. GOP attacks democracy, non-whites, LGBTQ community, teachers, students, schools, and public health policy.
From Trump to entire GOP congress: they all take Russian money and parrot Russian active measures.
Russiafication of Red States.
When conservatives hyperventilate about Sharia Law, they are talking about themselves.
Tyrannical government is a conservative’s best friend.
Tucker Carlson takes his useful idiot job seriously.
While mask requirements are now removed where I live we are still wearing ours for a while to see if there is a new spike. It seems there is a Delta / omicron combination gaining traction.
Remember Colin Kaepernick? He is still banned from the NFL for kneeling to being attention to the abuse suffered by black people at the hands of police. Rodgers is a hero for fighting against public health measures that save lives and promoting harmful fake medical treatments.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
Clearly this is just butt kissing the oil companies butts by the right wing media. Nothing has been done to reduce the US supply by Biden. No new leases would increase supply as that takes years to set up. No pipeline would increase supply as it is already moving via other means and that oil was not for the US anyway. The US is exporting more oil than ever. More than ever! So you want to increase the US supply and lower prices, then nationalize the oil industry and take the huge profits out of it. nationalize it and keep it from leaving the country and we will have the cheapest gas. But that means doing for the people and not the big businesses who are sucking in incredible profits.
The right wing likes to claim that everything wrong with the country is Biden’s failed policies. However they never mention what these failed policy are. Biden has led the response to the war started by Putin pulling countries around the world together. Biden has over seen the greatest economic recovery since they started keeping track. Unemployment has dropped to 3.8%. What are the failed policies that are keeping the country back?
If the Republicans would stop blocking every attempt to pass legislation, then everything wouldn’t have to wait to be shoved into one very large bill. If the Republicans would govern instead of obstruction then the country would have decent bill passed and signed into law.
I would remind the right wing media that the US is the one that broke the deal under tRump to get more concessions from Iran including a change of their government to one we liked. A complete no starter. Biden sadly kept the tRump’s goals rather than try to get back to the original agreement that was containing Iran’s nuclear ambitions. It is about too late for any agreement. Iran will not change it’s government for any reason that is pushed from the outside. Change of government must come from inside the country by the people. At this point Iran is much closer to their goal of a nuclear weapon than they were under the original deal that tRump broke. So why when we broke the deal do we get to demand even more punishment and restrictions on them? Fact is they have seen that the US will break deals it makes and the US will attack only those countries without nuclear weapons. So they and all countries will do what ever they can to get them, so the US and NATO wont attack them.
Some people seem to react to the move away from fossil fuels like it will be an all or nothing move. That’s far from the truth. When automobiles started popping up, everyone didn’t just stop using horses. It took some time before there were enough gas stations, dealerships, repair shops and roads to support them.
Just a couple of points:
1. It will be a good amount of time before electric cars predominate. As of 2021, EVs were between 8-9 percent of vehicles sold:
2. The USA leads in EV technology but this is by no means guaranteed in the years to come. Look at the chart above. For the first time in 2021, the majority of electric car sales were in China. Right now, the USA is home to Tesla, the largest car manufacturer by market capitalization and the pioneer EV manufacturer. But China would love to steal that away, just as they grabbed the solar cell market when we were squabbling about Solyndra. We should not let that happen.
3. I don’t mind so much that we still generate electricity with fossil fuels. We managed a conversion from coal to natural gas fairly handily, and we can do the same with renewable sources.
4. It’s true that there is reduced solar capacity at night, but there is also decreased usage. Additionally, the US is a large country that has only a few hours of complete darkness from coast to coast. Also, the wind blows at night as well as by day. Further, there are old technologies such as pumped storage that may be utilized to store electricity for later use. Here is an example of a facility in upstate New York:
We need to get started on this! And if we don’t start the change, we won’t be able to finish. So let’s quit making excuses, especially for political reasons, and get started.
Magats and “No matter what” republicans, can you hear me out for a sec? Then you can call me a libtard snowflake or whatever new slur Tucker is making you Parrot
Let’s break down the difference between the parties and analyze their records, let’s talk about their policies. Cool?
Throughout history, at least back until Eisenhower, the Democrats have grown the job base, the GDP, got you health care. They invested in education and roads, they invested in new tech and they stood for all men created equal, in voting, employment and housing. They care.
The numbers are clear & stark. I’m a democrat not because of pronouns and trans bathrooms. I’m a democrat because I do better financially, I’m more free, my tax dollars come back to me in services and not making already rich guys, richer. My speech is free and my body is mine.
I’m a democrat because they look to the future and believe what science tells us about the past. I could have stopped at “believes science” because damn are you Reps ignorant when it comes to that demon science. The dems move things forward, face facts, meet the needs for all
They mobilized vaccines and aren’t snowflakes about getting a shot to help the country get back to normal. They aren’t pissed about a tiny mask so we don’t kill grandma. Reps don’t even think there’s a problem but we’ve had 1M excess deaths since covid. Dems care about ALL of us.
Republicans send us backward, every time. Scream “my body my choice” & make a girl in Texas have her rapists baby. Then sue her. Cut taxes for the rich. Lie, say a country, who didn’t attack us has WMDs, 5500 soldiers die, 3T gone. That we need guns for safety, 32k dead a year
Reps, WANT to get money from corporations, because people hate their policies, poverty GOES UP every time under Republicans, look it up. Bush crashed the economy, Trump crashed the economy. I’m not making this shit up. I specifically vote democrat now BECAUSE the economy grows.
Homelessness goes down, which helps all of us. REGAN started the nightmare we are living in by closing and defunding mental health hospitals. The air is cleaner, the water is cleaner. Dems try to fuel progress, get it morons?“Progressive” There is a reason CON is in conservative
Be clear, I want everyone to kick ass, health wise, and financially, so I will vote for the party that doesn’t use, racism, and hate to divide us. I love the republicans in my family, I just wish they took time to ACTUALLY do their own research. 6% growth, 3.8% unemployment.
So until the republicans change their bullshit policies, if they ever have one, holy shit, we had four years of “infrastructure weak” “ healthcare plan will be ready in two weeks!” Fuck off. The Dems aren’t perfect but they didn’t try to end democracy. hat’s why I’m progressive.
I make more money, my taxes get used for shit I need, not sent to already rich douchebags, on top of that I watch the republicans back up our enemies and vote AGAINST the rights this country was founded on. So until the Republican Party cares about Americans again, I’m out. Peace
