going to keep saying: a society that would like to maintain its basic functions has really got to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by people in positions of authority

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument.

In other economic news: The five U.S. airports with the most international traffic have seen an obvious slide in international passengers, maybe because people are being snatched and sent to gulags. s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan, has penned one of the most delusional reviews of the global landscape I can recall ever reading. The United States is the one doing the dismantling buddy, what in the sam hell are you talking about!

And do we believe that we can, or should, try to make the world a better place? Practically, what is the other choice? Our international adversaries and major competitors have made it clear that their goal is to dismantle American hegemony, which means dismantling the rules-based system led by America in concert with our allies (essentially the Bretton Woods system and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as well as the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations). Since the end of World War II, this system has brought forth the longest period of peace and prosperity among the great powers. Today, it is clear this system needs serious reform and strengthening, not total destruction. Yet, if given the opportunity, that is exactly what our adversaries want to happen: Tear asunder the extensive military and economic alliances that America and its a…
