Yeah. Trump has to own the withdrawal he set in motion, after 4 years of irreversibly poor stewardship of US foreign policy. Continuity and momentum, there are limits to what a President can do. There was no consensus alternative here this late in the game.

Here we go with the conspiracy theories. Right on cue 🤣 First, they were protecting him — “why hasn’t he been indicted yet?” — and now they arrested him *too quickly*? What could he have possibly revealed to Congress that he hasn’t already said? SBF has been unwittingly incriminating himself playing...

Well, FTX is now history. Now more interested in the so-called stable coins, eps Tether and whether each unit is actually backed by a US dollar or liquid equivalent [US govt bonds, etm.] or not. https://www.revolver.news/2022/11/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-on-steroids-is-cryptocurrency-tether-joe-biden-c...

Well this didn’t age well.

What transpired was pretty much what Trump had said he wanted, with only one small deviation: no photo op at Camp David with the Taliban. So I’m not sure what you’re on about with regards to Biden. Most of you Trump types were all for the Afghan war under Bush, then turned against it under Obama, th...

As I recall, Bush invaded, and Donald Trump established the withdrawal timeline and legitimized Taliban authority prior to Biden taking office. Sad. Good thing you have a while to put some polish on that turd. Maybe add something like "inevitable consequence," "baked into the cake,&q...

That's true and is weirdly aided and abetted by impoverished and undereducated GOP voters who believe voting for "pro-business" policies will result in their own enrichment. Any day now, Cletus is going to strike opportunity and ascend to the 1% Club! What is the wealth concentration outs...

South Korea in demographic crisis as many stop having babies So much for Goldman's thesis that Abrahamic religiosity can save fertility. I recall him pushing a bizarre theory for years that Christianity in China was much larger than officially acknowledged and that this would lead to cultural rejuv...

I wouldn't be surprized if at one point armed militias emerge with hitlists of all those bankster prankster criminal robber baron kingpins and their political enablers. Whacktime is coming. The globalist crime cartels need to be taken down by raw force since there are zero political forces active o...

- Anti-LGBT discrimination Interesting that this item starts your list as it is hardly a significant concern for the majority of Americans according to polls. LGBT acceptance is not only the mainstream position (particularly among younger generations), it has been cemented as a fundamental human ri...

FTX and its affiliated companies declare bankruptcy. Sam Bankman-Fried [really?] resigns. FT "Contrast that with Sequoia’s gushing assessment of FTX’s prospects in an extremely lengthy piece it published online less than two months ago. In a now-deleted 13,800-word profile (that’s around 16 ti...

That fertility study must be some kind of joke and no one is going to waste time giving you a bikeshedding on the obvious reasons why. And if you recall, it was the Trump administration that oversaw accelerated vaccine development. Which was the right thing to do. It was pushed through as fast as re...

It seems to me the Repubs have been busying themselves exclusively with banging hypocrite Dems and the woke madness cult, pointing to inflation, the Biden crime family, all in their own echo-chamber. That to vote Repub one only has to consider how terrible the Dems are. Well, that turned out not to...

The testosterone study is a nice troll but we all know that it is conservative men who lack testosterone, hence their dislike of sex, compensation via guns and impractically large trucks, and beta-male clamoring for a daddy figure like Donald Trump to save them. ;) I've been hearing that young voter...

The Democratic congress pleaded with Trump to remove the Azov nazis. I posted the letter earlier. The Azov are the same families who pushed Poles into the concentration camps. Everybody buy you know this. There are lots of Nazis in Poland, too. And in Russia. Everywhere you go in Eastern Europe you...

The number of Nazis in the UKR military are probably proportionally similar to those in the US military. And yes, full support indeed, less the people who fled, killed, and intimidated into keeping their mouths shut.

What's with this Spamhaus stuff? It's trying to blacklist me. I'll believe it when I see it. Yes, you will. But riches and fame acrrue to those who believe, build, and make others see. There will be a few others released earlier, such as by Snapchat, but their intended use cases are not well aligned...

Fascinating developments in Ukraine, don't you all think? And what a blow to Judeo-fascist David Goldman and the Christo-fascists at F-grade publications like Taki's , which today posted a laughable screed about the Ukrainian army's "failure in the field". At the start of the war, Goldman ...

Google Search will face even more headwinds in the AR future where information and experiences will be mediated by platform vendors, contained in non-indexable formats. OTOH, Google is well positioned to create a wearable platform and parse the abundant data its sensors gather. AR is going to have ...

Substantial security assistance began under the Obama administration . Trump, under the influence of pro-Russia agents (and quite probably himself an unwitting Russian agent), began a smear campaign against the Ukrainian government that, since the Maidan movement, had undertaken successful anti-corr...
