Politics

Everyone just took off with the niceties didn’t they? Kind of the typical conservative response (of the past anyway) to the type of disingenuous question/comment like @Tanks made. Could definitely see that asinine comment coming from someone on the View. Shouldn’t surprise me coming from a Californian so called “conservative”.

Reminds me of Speaker Johnson’s squishy, neutered statement he initially made on the trannys in women’s bathrooms last week. He changed his tone mighty fast when he realized the American people are sick of that nonsense.

There’s plenty of reason to suggest that anyone who votes Democrat in the present day is evil. Or ignorant

Johnson speaks out of both sides of his mouth. Just like Boehner, Ryan, and McCarthy did

Wow, there were certainly no punches pulled in Zeihan's latest hot sports opinion.

I snort-laughed at the viewer comment that Zeihan has turned into the Jim Cramer of geopolitics.

Don’t necessarily disagree with much of what he says and I haven’t watched a whole lot of his stuff but man does he come across as smug. The same may be true for some others I watch but I find him particularly off putting.

I still don't understand this pick. Was there an under the table deal with Teamsters for not endorsing Harris?

Trump picks Lori Chavez-DeRemer, a pro-union Republican, to lead the Labor Department

Chavez-DeRemer, who recently represented Oregon in Congress, has often been one of the lone Republican supporters of various pro-union bills and has advocated for improvements to the child care system.

I am always leery of woman with hyphenated last names.

Following the fall of Ukraine's fortress city of Vuhledar, in early October, the ISW and Ukrainska Pravada claimed that the fall of this city was relatively insignificant:

Vuhledar seizure unlikely to significantly alter Russia’s operations in Donetsk Oblast – ISW

Analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) have stated that the occupation of Vuhledar is unlikely to significantly alter the course of offensive operations in western Donetsk Oblast, as the city is not a particularly important logistical hub.

Fast forward to today, with the south Donetsk front being on the verge of collapse, they seem to have changed their tune:

Russia increases its advance pace and continues to capture all of Donetsk Oblast – ISW

Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) say that Russian invaders have recently been advancing much faster than in the whole of 2023 and are not giving up their intention to capture all of Donetsk Oblast.

I wonder, have Kremlin propagandists infiltrated the ISW and Ukrainska Pravada or is reality finally catching up with them ?

It's also interesting to note that a neutral military blogger/youtuber named Alex from HistoryLegends predicted 6 months ago, on May 5, 2024, that the Russian military was headed towards an operational victory in the Donetsk Oblast:
