Quick note going forward.

When I see them, I now Hide posts on my feed with no meaningful content - only images of FOTUS and his enablers, particularly close-ups.

I will hide them regardless of who made or shared them. I will read posts. I will not passively view his images or listen to his voice.

The Trump administration’s aggressive deportation campaign is now focused on North Carolina, where agents don’t have to endure the cold of the coming Chicago winter.

Wizened Millennials sneering at Gen Alpha: I told you the old ways are best

(Gen X, petting its moldering set of the 1983 World Book Encyclopedia: Soon. Soon.)
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

This is hilarious. Volodymyr Shmodenko is a Ukrainian weightlifter known for incognito gym videos in which he pretends to be a cleaner before lifting and moving barbell equipment in front of other gym attendees.

Just like everyone else with a functional mind,

to me the relevant time frame doesn't begin with Feb 2022,

but with the robbery of Crimea at the very least.

That's why the graph's starting date of 2014.

Appalling. To say the least.
Can the US even dictate that NATO is not allowed to accept any new members like that?
Surely there's a process where all members are involved, not just the one member that's already quiet-quitting and sabotaging the alliance.

WH official says Umerov, at a meeting with Witkoff in Miami, asked to change a point of the “US peace plan” that called for “an audit of all international aid Ukraine had received”, changing it to say that “all parties will receive “full amnesty for their actions during the war.”

Will those lonely figs actually ripen?

Very, very, slowly, the figs can still ripen as long as the temperatures are warm enough. However, the end is near. Inevitably, there will be some figs left on the tree. We leave them for the birds. Shop small businesses; your choices matter. #farmlife #figs

If leaders around the world have not understood that United States had a democratically orchestrated takeover and does align with authoritarian regimes while monetizing its power over (former) allies, they can force Ukraine to surrender and experience consequences on their own children.

When in doubt:

Under Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the U.S. Manual for Courts-Martial, service members must obey lawful orders and disobey unlawful orders. Unlawful orders are those that clearly violate the U.S. Constitution.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.

The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.

Hope that clears things up.

Interesting conversation on Italian tv. Notice how they mention Trump toward the end as an example of corruption.

The host tried to push the pro Russian narrative, and the guest shut him down.
