Happy birthday, George Jetson. I'm not making this up.

□ [“The rouble is soaring and Putin is stronger than ever - our sanctions have backfired"]

They've only backfired if this wasn't the intention all along.  The west makes their people suffer and claim it's all Putin's fault.  Putin expands Russian power and influence, and profit considering how much Europe is now desperately in need of energy.  It's not like he needs to face any voters in the future, which is just the way western leaders want to be.

Oh, but Russian billionaires are having trouble getting to their yachts!  Ok, western populations are having trouble getting food and fuel, which is the way western leaders want it.  You think they'd be thanking Putin for giving them the excuse for this, even though they were doing it well before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Maybe they do thank Putin in private.  That's my big worry, that this was all a deliberate show to increase their tyranny on all of us.  Russia expands, our rulers expand, it's a win-win for all of them.

Again, unless this was the intention, the sanctions definitely don't work.

□ [“Here We Go: ‘Experts’ Now Warn Cold Showers Are Causing Heart Attacks In Young Adults"]

A list is given of these self-identified experts for other causes of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome - a fancier name than Sudden Adult Death Syndrome - and it shows that these experts are idiots, but what struck me was the headline.

Parts of Europe are now banning hot showers because they gave up the energy required to heat them, and now cold showers are bad for you?  So now showers will be a thing-of-the-past.  That's the only way to make this work, you can't take warm showers and you can't take cold showers.  Are cold baths still allowed?

Remember, these "experts" are also some of the people who claim that cutting your balls off makes you a woman and none of them point out the centuries that people had only cold water to bath in, which they managed without this brand-new form of death which only affects the vaccinated.

□ [“Will She or Won’t She? Pelosi Leaves Taiwan Off Asia Trip Itinerary"]

They're going.  Maybe not Nancy herself but one of the other five Democrats she's doing some Asian tour with will go, just to prove they can.

That's not a bad thing, there are sensible reasons to not include such information on your public schedules.  That said, that means there's no publicity for the trip and politicians like publicity.  There's also the issue that China will know a lot more about what Nancy's doing and where than us peons and they may take action anyway.

They could kill her or take her prisoner and right there they'd have proof that she was blatantly lying about not going, and anything else that's relevant.  Maybe her husband had suddenly bought or sold some investments in Taiwan.  He's gotta find some way to pay for a new Porsche, and he probably doesn't drink the cheap booze either.

Anyway, China has other options to use on Pelosi, publicly or privately, and she's on their turf.  They have options for Biden and Harris too, but Nancy outranks them.

□ [“CNN Travels to Foreign Land of Wyoming to Ask Voters if They Support Wicked Liz Cheney – Stunned by Replies"]

Amusing, they actually dealt with real people for a change.  They even left the CNN logo off their cameras, did they do that on the first attempt or did they try it and realize that nobody would talk to them if they were CNN?

I don't pay much attention to Liz Cheney but it always sticks out to me that she's Dick Cheney's daughter.  He was (ostensibly) a hard-right Republican and this is the seed he planted?  I don't know how to look in-depth into this but that just seems to be a tradition of rich, famous people's kids and grandkids.  They are all seduced by leftism.

That's one reason I'm pondering the theory that this is what makes being rich/famous an actual sin, this is the sort of creature you bring into the world if you do that.  At best, the patriarch takes all the attention and dies with it.  A few have tried, but notice the Kennedy family has done little in public since Ted Kennedy died.  They just enjoy their mansions and orgies.

I am surprised that CNN didn't find anybody who said anything nice about her.  It is possible they did, but the ones they found were so horrible that their footage was completely scrapped.  It's also possible that the point is to show the actual CNN viewers - if there are any - what scum these people are.

Have to wonder how long it'll be before these networks just bring in actors to pretend to be whoever they're interviewing.  Just get a few in to recite your script about how wonderful Liz Cheney is and they love everything she does.
