“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”
We Are the Bad Guys
The swaggering threat to global stability is us.

Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.

Sometimes I think about Harris‘s ”most lethal military in the world” line from her DNC speech and today is one of those days

Trump: "Effective today, America will no longer require 72 'jabs' for our beautiful, healthy children. We are moving to a far more reasonable Schedule, where all children will only be recommended to receive Vaccinations for 11 of the most serious and dangerous diseases."
Trump: "Today, the Trump Administration is proud to announce the United States of America’s updated Childhood Vaccination Schedule. This Schedule is rooted in the Gold Standard of Science, and widely agreed upon by Scientists and Experts all over the World. Effective today, America will no longer require 72 'jabs' for our beautiful, healthy children. We are moving to a far more reasonable Schedule, where all children will only be recommended to receive Vaccinations for 11 of the most serious and dangerous diseases. Parents can still choose to give their children all of the Vaccinations, if they wish, and they will still be covered by insurance. However, this updated Schedule finally aligns the United States with other Developed Nations around the World. Congratulations to HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy, CDC Acting Director Jim O’Neil, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, CMS Administrator Dr. Oz, NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, and all of the Medical Experts and Professionals who worked very hard to make this happen. Many Americans, especially the 'MAHA Moms,' have been praying for these COMMON SENSE reforms for many years. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

I know its hard for a lot of blueskyers to grasp this, but the political world of 15-25 years ago is not the political world of today

It’s important to note that if there is any increase in approval rating for Trump, it will likely be short lived.

Following Bin Laden’s death in May 2011, Obama got a 7% point boost.

And it lasted only 5 weeks.

“There are only two options today: either the world stops Russia’s war, or Russia drags the world into its war.”
In his end-of-year address, President Volodymyr Zelensky put it with brutal clarity.

1. Kenya’s NTV News ran a story about Craig the Elephant, who died earlier today at age 54.

A reminder that there are only dozens of super tusker elephants left in the entire world.

Craig’s sons and daughters will continue to carry on his lineage in Amboseli National Park.

UNSC will convene at Colombia's request - backed by China and Russia — today at 10am ET. UNSG Guterres has warned the U.S. action could set "a dangerous precedent".

China accused US of acting like a "world judge" by seizing Maduro, with Beijing set to confront Washington at the UN.

Most Corrupt President in the history of The United States!
It’s literally one thing after another!

How about taking care of us Americans ?!?!?
Last year, Trump promised American oil executives "a great deal" if they donated $1 billion to his campaign. Today, he "gave" them Venezuela, home to the largest oil reserves in the world. This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?" Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸" Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City." Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

Liebe Union, so komplex scheint das alles irgendwie nicht zu sein.
Annalena Baerbock: The UN Charter is not optional—it is our guiding framework, in moments of calm and in times of crisis, like in Venezuela today, culiminating with the United States military action. Article 2 of the UN Charter clearly stipulates that all Members of the United Nations shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations. Respect of the UN Charter and international law is the foundation of the international order. A peaceful, safe and just world for everyone is only possible if the rule of law prevails instead of might makes right. And if human rights including those of the Venezuelan people prevail over human rights violations.

Oh, it's Parker. Makes sense, this site enjoys going after people doing good for not being pure enough. Great microcosm of what we're seeing out in the world among our team today.

Watching yet another trans woman with a platform getting dogpiled for an innocuous post is enraging. The attacks on Parker Molloy are absurd. It's like clockwork that this keeps happening.

Trump told the world this am he was now in charge of another nation. The current government of that nation, Venezuela, said no f-ing way today.

Is Trump delusional, confabulating, wishcasting? Has Trump lost it? Seriously, what is going on? My latest 👇

The IHRA is an antisemitism-generator that redefines antisemitism to criminalize criticism of ethnic cleansing and apartheid. This is why genocide activists are typing in all-caps today ⬇️
Noa Tishby tweet: ZOHRAN MAMDANI REVOKED THE INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE ALLIANCE (IHRA) WORKING DEFINITION OF ANTISEMITISM. THIS DEFINITION HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY NEARLY 50 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD, AND IS THE MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED DEFINITION OF ANTISEMITISM. ZOHRAN ISN’T FIGHTING ANTISEMITISM. HE’S PROMOTING IT. https://x.com/noatishby/status/2007080144477802902

Today's thought - What happened in Venezuela won't stay in Venezuela. The world is a more dangerous place today than it was yesterday. Canada is too close to the raging inferno south of the border. 😟
