So clickbaity, even the "anonymous" re-poster paid to boost GWP traffic is clickbaiting the headline here!
F, but I strongly doubt Zelensky would accept the invitation. It would not be likely to be a very cordial meeting. Ripping off my country, gaslighting the world about the situation, getting literally more than a million men killed to satisfy his vanity... I have some words for him.
I'm not threatening the man in any way, but simply observing that he's very lucky to have his head still attached to his shoulders.
Alright, let's try this a second time. It seems my first post on the topic mysteriously disappeared for wrongthink....
Dude's wrong. Why?
Because there is no control group, just as the man established in his own presentation of the facts. You cannot sit there with a list of observations and claim something caused something else when you have no control group. He's trying to attribute a whole bunch of neurological outcomes to a vaccine when he has done nothing to control for all of the background things (confounders) that might otherwise explain the result.
The man acts like he's supposed to be some great paragon of science then does the exact same thing he criticizes Fauci for doing: conflating correlation with causation to serve a political cause.
He needs to do a proper randomized controlled trial (just as he himself said at the very beginning of his little diatribe) to prove there's a difference in the rate of neurological side effects in kids that got the disease and didn't. Don't give me garbage about ethics. Do it as a prospective cohort study design. Case-control. Observe into the future, record the results based on the kids' and parents' own choices. That's the ethical way to approach this. It CAN be done. Homeboy Loudmouth Big-talker hasn't done it. He can't claim what he's claiming.
This is the kind of guy that makes me want to facepalm and then want to kick the guy in the nuts. Why?
He rails against the industry for not including a placebo group in the trials. Then he proceeds to point out various rare, but serious side effects. He then says the drug caused the side effects... after lecturing his audience about quality of evidence and scientific method.
No, doctor. You can't make that statement. You can't distinguish the rate of those events from those inherent as a background in the general population. He has no idea whether the drug caused these safety signals because as he so eloquently and emphatically pointed out, there is no placebo group to compare it to.
Until a properly designed study is done, he's not doing anything better than what Fauci did. He's making unfounded medical claims about a product for a political purpose.
Let's be clear. The only reason at all that Ukraine is getting anything is because Trump still (mistakenly, IMO) believes that Ukraine having weapons and being bloodthirsty sociopaths who constantly attack Russia gives him leverage over Putin. He thinks he can offer to stop it and get Putin to give concessions. He's trying to create leverage out of nothing in hopes of getting something other than total surrender of his position.
Putin controls all the cards here, as Trump angrily told Zelensky. Putin knows it which is why he's moving very slowly and deliberately while not missing a beat on the battlefield. He's rolling up the rest of the remaining territory in the four annexed regions. He has cleaned out Kursk. He's cleaning out Ukraine's latest adventure into Belgorod. He just bombed a whole mess of supplies from the EU that were sitting in Odessa overnight. Putin's still running his attrition warfare machine slowly and surely. He's still got a massive army in Belarus threatening Ukraine and another threatening Western Ukraine and Lvov. None of it's moving forward, but none of it is being pulled back as a threat either, and Russia still has its forward nukes in Belarus as well. Nothing's changed on the battlefield. Putin's telling Trump to take as long as he needs, but his position is not negotiable: meet Russia's conditions or the war doesn't end.
Trump seems to understand the purpose of these roles better than most. He's got people in who'll make the key decisions, but more importantly, they're extroverted people who love to get out and inspire the people working for them. There's a bit of showmanship and partying that's phenomenal for bridging the gap between the workers and management that so often leads to resentment and insubordination. Trump picked these people for a reason.
Yes, and now you'll be training with the Chinese.
Russia's not coming through Canada. They have no reason to do it. They've got more land and resources than anyone else on the planet and most of it is totally untapped and unexploited. Putin's already up to his eyeballs trying to manage to hold all of it together with 200+ different minorities and ethnicities all with different histories and identities threatening identitarian cessation movements like the Catalans, Scots, etc do in their countries. He's got the Chinese flooding it's eastern regions with "migrants" just like Europe is dealing with N. African and Arabs and how we're dealing with Hispanics.
Russia's got its own business to attend to. They're not going to attack Europe. They're not going to attack Canada.
This WEF clown is blowing up a relationship that's in his country's interest to spite Trump and which he'll happily reauthorize the second the WEF controllers can put a puppet back in the WH. In the meantime, expect to hear a lot about new partnerships with the Chinese - because this guy's going to proceed full steam with selling out his country as planned.
I'd support it only under 1 condition: that the money be used specifically for the purposes of luring Zelensky and his lieutenants to a location in which they would be arrested and taken to face charges for theft of American taxpayer dollars and resources. If those charges are not permissible, fly them to The Hague where they can face war crimes charges for 7 years (since 2017 when came to power) of attacks on civilians including his own Ukrainian citizens who happen to be of Russian dissent. I want him and his sociopath friends to answer for every cluster bomb dropped on rush hour traffic, every civilian kidnapped off the street and forced to go to war, etc.
If the money is used for that purpose, it can go to Ukraine. To be perfectly honest, I want to see brutal enforcement of justice served to this man the way it was served to Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc. I want a message to be sent to every future tyrant who even thinks they might try and get away with it in the future: no. No, you don't.
They were trialing the pre-printed protest paddles at the SotU, but got mocked too much so you may be right and they're on to whiteboards. Well, maybe they'll go with blackboards and chalks... you know, to avoid accusations of "privilege" =D
If you've ever been to a protest, you'll know that the rent-a-mob shows up with signs for all of them as a standard thing. Pride flags, kefiyyeh scarves for Hamas, Stars of David for the Israel's-a-victim lobby, pink pusillanimous hats for the angry white feminists, etc.
They don't bother to keep up. Just send all the haters and let them scream.
Lots of details missing here.
- This limo is one of how many such vehicles? There's not a major world leaders of any country that has just one. Multiple vehicles are a logistical necessity. Decoys are standard operating procedure for any competent security force.
- Was Putin even in the city when this occurred? Getting such a car that just came from the detail shop is very different from getting the car as it waits for the Big Guy himself.
Why is Russian news not blasting this right alongside Western news? Apparently, British reporters were right there with cameras ready to broadcast it within minutes (Moscow's not exactly a short flight from London), but the RT folks aren't ready to run breaking updates all day? Are we seeing a production or are we going with Russian censorship narratives?
Either way, I'd be more than happy to see Putin drop FABs on all of the problem children keeping this sh...tshow going. Get it over with so we can have peace.
MI:6 would be my guess.
I don't buy it, but I'm biased and not connected in any way to the power brokers.
The angle for us is going to go through DOGE audits of the Ukraine money. It's going to be quiet because a lot of it was re-directed to the MIC to buy replacement weapons for the old junk we cleaned out and sent to Ukraine. We won't hear about future procurement because my suspicion is that a lot of that stuff is not yet official knowledge yet.
To the extent we do hear about things, it'll be things that can clearly be traced directly to private accounts of high ranking officials. They'll get a quiet offer to comply, or there'll be a "leak" to the press. Expect to see a LOT of generals on the Ukraine side suddenly get rotated out by Zelensky for loss of confidence or some other such BS. None of the reasons will matter, just that they're gone. The goal is going to be to get to all of the decision-makers with any real military experience who can execute Zelensky's bat guano crazy orders. Put another way, it's a quiet way to use their own corruption to dismantle Zelensky's ability to fight.
Zelensky has made it clear he's gone rogue. He's outside of US control. He thinks he can get Europe to let him keep this war going so he can stay in power. So, Trump now has to go around Zelensky. Sideline him and talk to the Russians, but understand that the Russians are the hammer and the anvil here, the rock and the hard place. They're not going to negotiate with Zelensky. They might negotiate with us and the Europeans because we still have some power, but they're getting their buffer zone one way or another. They're never going to allow the EU to creep on their turf.
Meh. Is this really worth the time and effort here? How many chickens do you think there are in Denmark? If they gave us all their chickens it wouldn't even make a dent.
Much ado about nothing here.
Tell Derrick Evans to quit shitposting stupid requests and MAGA to quit reposting dumb stuff like this.
If we want to solve the egg problem, stop killing the damn chickens. Simple. Tell the government which we now control to stop using H5N1 fearmongering as a reason to call for killing chickens by the millions based solely on oversensitive, unreliable PCR tests. Also fix the factory farm problem so if you do have an actually dangerous disease, you can properly isolate the affected birds without having to resort to mass chicken murder. This is an US problem, not a Finland problem.
At least he has the intellectual honesty to admit he's no liberal. The modern Left are authoritarian and fascist. They believe in a marriage of government and corporate power to run society. They believe that certain races are preferred over others in society and that there is a target demographic for which all social ills are to be blamed. This demographic can be openly shamed, harassed, denied rights, and otherwise mistreated. Vandalism and violence is acceptable against enemies of their ideology.
That is the modern Left. They should NEVER be confused with liberals or liberalism because they're not.
We know the reporter had something. What exactly we don't know. Is it legit? Don't know. Is it classified? Don't know. DoD says no, but of course they would, and the reporter's going to claim he had something juicy because he's a long-time professional shit-poster in print. His bylines prove he's been at the forefront of every leftist hoax his entire career.
We also know this guy had something and waited 10 days to drop it. He timed it for maximum impact to hurt Trump's efforts to resolve Iran/Yemen. Again, he thought he had something, and the echo chamber breathlessly repeating it did too.
Why did they trust Signal? Because their own activists use it and trust it's encryption. James O'Keefe uses it and trusts its encryption. Sunrise and associated Antifa spin-offs use it. The professional protestors who've been ginned up anti-Tesla terrorism and who were the ones populating Kamala's paid crowds use it.
Was it 5D chess? I have no idea. Maybe someone got stupid. We've seen more than enough examples of that. Maybe some tranny Leftist subversive leaked the conversation out of spite for Hegseth clamping down on futtbuckery in the military. There are legitimate reasons some of these subversives would've done something like this. We know there are plenty of such people all over the gov't bureaucracy still, whether they're on the Left, or the Lincoln Project pedophiles of the Neocon right like Miss Lindsay and crew.
I strongly suspect it was a subversive, moderately-ranked officer or aide within the military, happy with the DEI programming of the Obama/Biden years, and who hates Trump who leaked it to a reporter he knew wouldn't ask questions and would be happy to repeat whatever narrative he was fed.
I can simplify a lot of it. Sugar and salt. Both of those ingredients are the primary drivers of the effect you're talking about. The other ingredients people tend to fixate on are often red herrings in this discussion. If you dig in depth, they have long track records of use and few if any reports of any harm being attributed to them. Lots of conspiracies, not a lot of hard scientific data. But with sugar and salt, the data on triggering the reward centers of the brain is crystal clear - and we all know it. We can taste the difference, which is why companies market test their food to include it, and why we, as consumers eagerly buy it.
I'm of the opinion that if we look at healthy people living in West Africa where most African-Americans have ethnic ancestry, we can find very clear examples of healthy, nutrient-complete diet options that are well within her budget, even in an American grocery store. I don't care how racist this woman is, there's still no excuse. There is "black people" food that solves her problem.
But da diet don't work fuh you da same. /SMDH
Well, then, Madam, what nutritional plan would work for you to get you to a healthy body weight, blood sugar, and blood pressure? What diet does work for you? Enlighten us what the black woman diet is, please.
Of course, since it's Faux, they never actually link to the video of him saying it.... God, I detest how much of a clickbait operation they've become since the Baby Murdochs took over.
The noticing should have started in 1963 when Jack Rubinstein was renamed "Ruby" and killed off the one best witness anyone had.
I love how she says a "marker" has been reached and then never defines what exactly happened to justify calling retired military officers home so they can fight an insurrection for her while she virtue signals from behind her keyboard at her call center job. These people are whackjobs. There's never any logic. It's just emotional spew, and they always want someone else to do the paying, the fighting, and the risk-taking for their cause.
This is an attack that throws the baby out with the bathwater. GRAS exists because there are things that we know are safe and we recognize that it is a very time-consuming and costly process to demand long-term health testing on every possible chemical that may find its way into food.
I have no problem with doing the work of testing things which have become controversial. They're good questions to ask and good ones to answer. But as someone with a bit of background in the clinical healthcare sciences, I understand that there is a devil in the details here that has to be addressed. Getting the data to do this kind of assessment isn't easy. Isolating the variables isn't easy. Trying to prove what they're seeking to prove is going to require fairly extensive testing. Who's going to pay for the work? Who's going to do the work? In medicine, there's a reason it's the pharma companies who do all the testing. They're the only ones with a vested interest in actually doing the work. No one else is going to pay for it. But if you're going to go test various GRAS food additives that are widely used in the food supply, now who pays? Are you going to force General Mills to pay to test Red Dye No. 40 when it's hardly the only one using it?
This isn't simple. I hear a lot of screeching from people here demanding why perfection hasn't been instituted less than 2 months into Trump's presidency. None of the real solutions to these problems is simple. It didn't break overnight. It got this way because people thought these were the right policies for a very long time.
I think the GRAS designation needs to exist. I think if Kennedy is concerned about particular additives, then a process needs to be put into place to define what the threat may be and develop a path to test it including to pay for it. Congress is going to have to authorize money for this. And I want guarantees that all of this will be publicly posted transparently if the taxpayer's going to pay for it.
