□ [“Bernie Sanders Confronted By CBS Host For Charging $95 For Tickets To Anti-Capitalism Book Tour"]

“Those decisions are made totally by the publisher and the bookseller...  I had nothing to do with that."

Then why do you show up to every single one of these events you have nothing to do with?  You have so little going on in your life that you just use earth-killing fuel to randomly travel the country and by an amazing coincidence, every single one of these events is where you show up.  You could stay at home and it would mean just as much as far as you're concerned, you have nothing to do with this.

You'd need to sign contracts approving of this from the start.  But you have nothing to do with that.  Your signature is unrequired for the venue, the advertising, the ticket sales...  They give you orders, you obey without hesitation.

You could just purchase all the tickets and give them away for free.  But that might let some lower-class people in and we know that you wouldn't want that.  Even though you have nothing to do with this, it would at least be living up to your beliefs that rich people have to give and the poor get to take.

By the way, I'm getting close to the end of my 26th book and I've never once had to deal with this process.  But then, if I ever do have to deal with it, I won't be allowed to say I had nothing to do with it.  But my books are a lot cheaper.

□ [“Biden Makes Surprise Visit to Ukraine"]

You can keep him.  Just, you know, make sure his plane is maintained as well as Kamala Harris's plane is.

It does show us how safe Ukraine is.  No bombs or anything going off.  Probably told Russia they were coming by to celebrate the anniversary so don't do anything that would look bad.  It would take just one Ukrainian with a cell phone to post pix on the internet that would show that the propaganda we keep being told isn't really happening.  Fortunately there's no censorship of the internet in Ukraine.

I'm not sure why they called it a "surprise," I assumed he was going there in the first place and it took a second to remember that "officially" he was going to Poland.  He probably had to check on the classified documents he left there last time.  Or bring in new ones.

□ [“Zelenskyy Threatens World War III If China Allies With Russia"]

Who is stupid enough to believe him?  Other than Biden supporters anyway.  You don't get to hang out with your allies and declare that others can't have allies.  When you rule China, you can decide what China does, but until then...

And the idea that China cares what you think is quite idiotic.  I'm going to assume Zelensky isn't actually putting this out to China, he's just showing off to his fanbase like he has any say in what happens.  He's probably also showing off to NATO how much more important he is than any of its actual members.  I assume they're still lowering the standards as quickly as possible to get Ukraine to join but it doesn't sound like there's any real interest anymore.  If non-members get more from NATO than members do, what's the incentive?

"Maskirovka" may be a relevant term, both here and in the larger war.  I've never been a military scholar but I used to know a few things and was reminded of this technique, disguising or hiding the military forces.  This goes back at least as far as Sun Tsu, getting the enemy to mistake your strengths for weakness and your weaknesses for strength.  This could explain why we've told all year that the Russians are totally out of soldiers and yet somehow they keep fighting anyway.

Pretty sure there's a Ukrainian or two who knows something about maskirovka, although I'm not sure where they could possibly have learned this.  But anyway, this is something to keep in mind.

□ [“Delusional Democrats think Fetterman and Feinstein still fit to serve"]

Then there's the "gerontocracy," the old and feeble rulers who refuse to get out.  Partially I think it's human nature, there is a natural desire to keep doing what you've done all your life no matter how decrepit you get.  These people get money and power for it, why give that up?  There's also a work ethic.  However stupid and lazy they are, they have to at least show up every day and do the basic tasks or they'd have been replaced long ago.

But then there's something that I think is part of leftism, where they are going to stay in power as long as they live.  This is where it gets disturbing, this article includes a picture of Dianne Feinstein who looks atrociously old, and yet she has shiny black hair.  It's been over half-her-life since she had that for real, but she won't give it up, and for what?  It doesn't make her look good.

There's other examples like Biden and Pelosi.  I have to wonder if Nancy might actually have a bit of sense.  I really don't expect her to handle losing the 'House Speaker' role very well.  Ok, she can hide from the rest of us and still make all the decisions, but at least her public image has seemed to have at least a slight acceptance of aging and weakness, like she really shouldn't be in charge anymore.  Of course she won't quit, but it's just a thought.

Fetterman's case may be related if you think about it, but I see it as more of an urge to put an empty, brainless pawn in position.  The seat *must* go to a Democrat and it's just bizarre that they couldn't pick anybody else.  The speculation is that his wife is handling everything, 'behind the throne' is also a long-standing role.  But all of this serves as an example that these people do not want any competent subordinates and they do want to stay in charge for a long time.

□ [“Three Teachers at Same North Carolina Primary School Die 'Unexpectedly' in Three Months"]

When are they going to start admitting there's an actual problem?  They need to stress that each teacher had different "health concerns" but avoid what they had in common.  If any of them *hadn't* taken the vaccine, that would be worth noting.  You could blame that for why they died.  But all three?

There's articles that hospital are starting to erase records they have on patience suffering adverse reactions to the poison.  They don't want it on record that they're responsible for the injuries and deaths from this.  They can fake a virus and fake a vaccine, why wouldn't they mess up the records on this?

The only positive thing is that there's three less child abusers now and their co-workers are still required to get booster shots.  But the fact that *anybody* would go along with this is insane and terrifying, but this is what our rulers have imposed on the world.
