Running yet another State Department regime change operation and expecting Putin to be replaced with a more "favorable" leader is wishful thinking and setting yourself up for failure. Recall just such an operation in Ukraine started events in motion that brought the situation to this point. And as unpredictable as things get what if Putin's replacement is more dangerous? I'm starting to feel this is Afghanistan 2.0. We'll dump 100's of billions upon 100's of billions along with lots of resources into another quagmire while insisting from start to finish our side is winning in order to maintain public support and funding and in the end be left with the government making excuses to explain what went wrong.

Watching the NYC news broadcast on a nightly basis its amazing how many white supremacists are committing violent crimes, slashing and harassing riders on the subway, sexually attacking women, commiting hate crimes, and shooting lots of other citizens. All shouting "this is MAGA country" as the attack their victims!

Since the core principle of their belief system is denial of reality, deception is necessary. What person with the capacity to reason and think logically would conclude the border is secure, or eliminating police would result in less crime, or a man can be a woman simply by wishing it to be? Sure they can counter my conclusions by saying there are things wrong with the Right and that is true. But that argument does not negate the truth about the Left.

Blinking also led the effort to whitewash the Hunter laptop story with the fake intelligence community letter. The guys a saint.

The first casualty of war is the truth.

Sadly, confrontations and disagreements happen all the time. It's a fact of life. The problem is that under the current political environment each and every one of these confrontations publicized in social and mainstream media automatically default to an underlying cause for the confrontation of race or racism. Right from the start establishing the standard roles of victim and oppressor. Then, the usual parties in the activist community run with the story. It's what they do. It's how they "earn" a paycheck. On investigation, very few of these confrontations are attributed to racial causes. But that's the story the Hate industry needs to sell to keep employed and growing. Spreading hate to keep people divided. Where I definitely agree is that unless the race baiters are held accountable and face financial, reputational, or personal consequences for smearing and harassing people innocent of racial bias these incidents will continue.

I suggest as an example, Andrew Jackson might be worthy of mention for that honor. Name a specific action of Trump that is worse than the "trail of tears" forced relocation of Native Americans. I could name other chief executives and their transgressions but as a professed student of history you should know better.

Stranger yet. I've witnessed "mourners" taking pictures of the deceased in their coffins while laid out at the funeral home. Something I believe is completely inappropriate for the circumstances.

The US is the center of the world order as its ruling Empire. The European nations are vassal states of the US and have no independent policies of the own without permission from Wahington. The goal is to weaken Russia which is a threat to the current order. So is China. And any other country that refuses to play by the rules. The problem is its a long list and growing longer.

Anybody that still believes the Russia collusion scam at this point needs to hit themselves on the head really hard with a hammer a couple hundred times as nothing else seems able to knock this nonsense out of their skulls. Repeat these words. THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN CREATED THE HOAX. IDIOTS.

It's all about the money. Cut off funding for all the social crusades and all the hustlers will scamper back to unemployment or God forbid, be forced to find real jobs.

The race hustle is all about the money. Getting funds and grants, and donations, or extorting funds, from private parties to fund lavish lifestyles, attending lots of conferences, writing papers, and making speeches. Not really doing much to improve the lives of the people they claim to champion. While at the same time providing "protection" to the people they shake down from the mob they control.

A lesson here is if you're going to form a secret society or rogue gang then be discreet and smart enough to keep the identity of your members hidden from the public and inattentive officials. If this is for real, then why not just wear tie shirts in big block letters saying "Look at me. I'm a member of a secret police gang group".

Ironically, The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism "hates" anyone that disagrees with them. So no far-right views, but far-left views, are okay. No worries. Our national defense will now depend on vetting enough candidates that can pass a social justice test. That's comical. You're not assembling a cast for a high school musical. You're looking for people that are willing to enlist to train to kill the enemy. There just aren't enough bi-coastal progressives and other marginalized groups that can physically or mentally qualify for combat. Another gem hiding behind the curtain for the public to consider is that when we get into any big tussle with China the only course of action the government will be left with the fill the ranks of the Army and Marines is bringing back the draft.

Must be a slow day for race baiting when you need to harass a pregnant women over a bike rental disagreement. With the reflexive rush to judgment. The white person of privilege attempting to victimize POC. Its symptomatic of the booming practice of manufacturing "hate" and the parasites that make a living off the practice all while driving divisiveness. I read what I found to be an interesting assessment of the practice. Of course if you don't share my assessment that the hate industry is another of several hustle and scam operations of the social justice industry then you won't find it of any interest but please don't be offended. Preview below. "The hate industry is a vast agglomeration of lucrative hustles, now institutionalized and expanded into multiple and overlapping sectors. There is the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) sector; the equity, social, and governance (ESG) sector; the activist sector comprising countless groups, including Black Lives Matter and Antifa; the corporate, academic, and government sectors; the media sector; the politicians; and the pundits. All of these sectors have spawned scores of thousands of well-paying jobs." Link to the entire article: https://amgreatness.com/2023/05/17/the-hate-industry/

Yes! There are no "loopholes". They're exclusions and exceptions typically written into the tax code for the purpose of providing specific interests more favorable tax treatment than that applied to other tax filers. Big hedge fund donors get special "carried interest" treatment. Business gets depreciation, amortization, and depletion treatment for equipment and assets. Individuals and joint filers with children get credits and deductions along with preferential tax treatment on certain expenses. Home owners get to deduct points and interest on mortgages. EV buyers (mostly high income individuals that don't really "need" it, I might add) can qualify for $7,500 tax credit for buying an electric vehicle. And so on.

Enter the neoliberal mind. Page one of the progressives handbook. Rule #1. Never admit you're wrong regardless of the facts. This would give the opposition a victory. The objective isn't to be correct, it's to win. In this case not in conflict with fellow PPP posters that were skeptical of the Russian collusion story. Rather one Donald Trump. Such an admission that Trump was right about anything or was a victim of foul play is unacceptable under any circumstances. These are people that would opt-out of the handshake line after game 7 of an NHL playoff series. But only if their team lost.

Its was a hoax. Nobody from the 2016 campaign met with Russians 140 times. Nobody from the 2016 campaign shared campaign data with Russians. Nobody from the 2016 campaign coordinated with Wikileaks. Wikileaks didn't provide data directly to the campaign. They posted vetted files on their site, and also shared them with other news agencies such as the Times and the Post. Durham (and Mueller) performed a thorough and comprehensive investigation and found no proof of anything. Instead, proof of a manufactured conspiracy by the Clinton campaign. What I expect to follow will be dozens of civil suits against various actors from DNC and Clinton campaign. And they won't be filed in the Southern District of NY or in the District of Columbia. Flushing all those cockroaches out of the dark and into the light of the truth will breath some fresh air into our democracy. But if you want to then stick to the playbook. Never admit you're wrong no matter how overwhelming the evidence and facts produced by two independent DOJ investigations each around 2 years long.

Well you lost one here. The Russian Hoax has been proven to be just that, a hoax manufactured by the "Clinton Intelligence Plan" concocted by the 2016 campaign. You got snookered into believing and spreading lies for almost 7 years. There is no collaborating evidence of collusion. The CIA and FBI know the plan originated with the Clinton campaign. That can't feel good. To summarize: There was no valid predicate for the investigation, and the FBI knew it. The Trump campaign investigation was premised on “raw, un-analyzed and uncorroborated intelligence,” and U.S. intel agencies possessed no “actual evidence of collusion” when the probe began. Stories published in the New York Times in February and March 2017 claiming Trump associates were in contact with Russian intelligence agents were false. Durham was highly critical of the FBI’s “startling and inexplicable failure” to investigate the so-called “Clinton Intelligence Plan.” The CIA knew of the Clinton Intelligence Plan and also knew Russian intelligence knew about the plan to discredit Trump. But the CIA did not communicate that information to any agency such as the FBI nor did they stand up at any time to set the record straight, eliminate the need for the Mueller investigation, or contest anything published in news such as stories by the New York Times and the Washington Post. Logic would suggest the leadership at the CIA and the FBI withheld information and carried out investigations that conflicted with facts because wanted Clinton to win the 2016 election. Media outlets turned away from performing any real due diligence on their sources or stories, refused to investigate anything, and simply went along with the story because it supported their political views rather than the truth. That's the actual 2016 election interference. End of story.

Most interesting was that the CIA knew in September 2016 that Russian intelligence knew back in August of 2016 abut the Clinton campaign teams plot and actions to present Trump as a Russian agent/asset. That the CIA did not inform Federal law enforcement or election officials of the Clinton campaign's illegal activities is telling. And begs an explanation. Why didn't the CIA inform the FBI which armed with this knowledge would have most likely shut down the investigation into Trump? Sadly, expect none. But bigger is how did Russian intelligence know details about Clinton campaign activities? Did they have sources inside the DNC or the Clinton campaign? Did FusionGPS and Steele feed Russian agents with information from their meetings with the campaign on the dossier and the plan? Or in reverse, did Russian intelligence feed Steele misinformation about Trump? Was the entire Russia Hoax to discredit Trump a misdirection effort to distract from the true Russian objective of "helping" Clinton get elected? Lots of questions but dead ends based on the report. Unfortunately, the Durham investigation didn't drill down into these connections and relationships to get to the origins of the entire narrative and plot.

I understand what you're saying. Based on social justice classifications white males being the alpha predator of oppressors are not allowed to complain. If they do they're threatened, triggered, fragile, privileged, fearful, bigoted racists that have no compassion or sympathy for all the other complaining groups they oppress and hold down through systemic racism and an evil patriarchical society. My best attempt at progressive-speak.

That "curriculum" leaves students ill equipped for the journey into a productive and self-sufficient adult life. With few to no practical work or life skills. But it does achieve the social justice objective of indoctrinating them with the necessary ideological foundation to become obedient subjects of The State.

Its a clever strategy. The thinking is. You want something from somebody. Which in this case is Republican members of the House to defect from the Speakers position on the debt ceiling. That position being cuts to the budget are a condition of passing the increase in the debt limit. You don't want any conditions. The President wants a clean debt limit and compromising while providing the opposition a win in the House is out of the question. A win-lose is the only option for the administration. Of course with them getting the "win" So you identify one thing to focus on from the 1,000's of things that will appeal to the senses and priories of those representatives you want to turn. In this case veterans benefits. You don't care one way or the other about maintaining spending for veterans benefits but you're counting on the idea those representatives do and that they can be pressured to cave in to protect spending on this one thing that will give you free spending power over the other things among the 1,000's you find important to your priorities.

If the intelligence community that rules over our elected government didn't conspire to bury the laptop scandal and all the payoff and influence peddling it reveals Trump would have been a two-termer.
