□ [“Trump Fires Back at Ex-CIA Officer Will Hurd After Stage Embarrassment, Who Claims Trump Runs to ‘Stay Out of Jail’"]

Am trying to ignore these Republican squabbles.  As I've said before, Trump is not behaving all that well these days.  I get that he has to really fight these days and I'd definitely side with him if it comes to that, but he falls into the list of people who are just too damned old for the job anymore.  But Hurd's comments stuck out for me.

“The reason Donald Trump lost the election in 2020 is he failed to grow the GOP brand in areas like women with a college degree in the suburbs, Black and Brown communities, and people under the age of 35.”

This isn't a political speech if you're trying to win an election, this is marketing.  This is dividing people up into easy-to-identify groups and treating the groups as special but the individuals within as irrelevant.  It would be very easy to make this statement as an explanation of the problems Disney is having these days.  This is collectivism and anti-freedom and individuality and these people delude themselves into thinking they have the explanation for everybody.

There are merits to this approach but it's basically trying to guess correctly more often, it's still not based in any proven reality.  One of the things that makes Trump so problematic is that he doesn't fit into any category.  He can be fun to watch as an entertainer, he can be fun to watch as a train derailment, he can be respected or disliked for whatever decisions he's made at any given moment.  As annoying as that can be to put up with, you know where he stands and what he does, or doesn't do as the case may be.

But this "marketing" approach to politics, that's not how you look out for other people's interests and it's not how you show you have any skin in the game.  It just reeks of detachment and this is what he's saying to the people whose votes he's trying to get?  When he loses, like Disney he'll probably blame marketing instead of the product he's producing.

□ [“Rapper Young Thug’s Legal Team Requests to Dismiss Goat Sacrificing Ritual Video Evidence in Upcoming Trial"]

Oh come on!  It's this sort of thing that makes it look the black community gets what it deserves if that's all they have to offer.  And this also goes a long way to explain the leftist/demon-worshipping push our rulers have striven for all these years.  Wouldn't be hard to include sex with children into the ritual either.

Because the world is what it is, I can assume this will all be accepted by the courts.  This was a request by the defense attorney in a case where a fellow gang member of Young Thug has been accused of murder.  Can't shoot people and have your religion criticized, or described in court for what it is.

And where's the liberal animal-rights activists?  Why aren't they outraged that these people are just killing animals?  As with owning guns and not getting the covid vaccination, this is yet another example of how white leftists treat people differently based on their skin color and claim they know best.  If that means a bunch of animals get chopped up, sucks to be them.  As the motion states, it's just a totally innocent "effort to bring forth loa, which help to run the universe and can grant blessings."  If you don't have a goat, a virgin can be used.

□ [“Biden Regime Raises Alarm on Chinese Malware in U.S. Power and Communication Networks that Can Disrupt Military Operations During Conflict"]

You just noticed this?  You haven't been checking all-along to make sure this isn't happening anywhere?  How do you fill the time for your paycheck?  You do know we're getting ready to fight China right?  Think that might be relevant in the next few years?  Any chance you might get around to thinking about ways to fix this problem?

It doesn't show who's on who's side but this could be an explanation for all the anti-Russia propaganda of the last several years.  Either the left supports it or they're mindlessly obedient to focus entirely on China's ally and thereby ignore China itself, even as it spreads deeper across the world.  I'm not sure which is worse, if they're actively working for China or if they're just following orders and have no idea what's going on.

But then, I also have to wonder if China and its allies are actually doing this to benefit the rest of us.  Yes, I just wrote those words.  Because it sounds like they can basically turn off the electrical grid and communications any time they want.  If that happens, our rulers will be dead, the rest of us wouldn't put up with that.  As big as China is, they don't actually have a military which could physically take over the country and there's too many people with weapons who would defend us.  So either they're planning to wipe us all out or they're planning to get rid of the leftists in charge, and presumably benefit themselves in the process.

I'm trying to think of some other possibility but nothing's coming to mind.  The Americans who support any of this would be worthless sheep so they're irrelevant.  The rich elites might be able to protect their own homes but escape would be the only other option.  I'm sure there are organizations trying to seize control of regions or states but I really don't see how they could keep it totally secret all this time.  There's also the chance that they have some secret weapon, clones or space aliens or magical lasers or something, but there's no way we could guess how those would work out.  So what else could happen?

□ [“Putin to West: 'Ball’s in Your Court' on Peace Talks"]

A month into summer, it's really looking like the "spring offensive" isn't doing very well.  It's been a while since I've heard anybody say it's part of a long-range plan and it will succeed at some point in the future, but that's not how offensives work.  Face it, if Russia suddenly lost a couple hundred square miles to another military, that would be promoted everywhere as proof of how great Ukraine was doing, but that's not happening.

It's been noted that Ukraine's independence from Russia was based on it not joining NATO, which Ukraine was obviously lying about.  Ukraine's leaders are definitely profiting off all the US money coming in, voting themselves pay raises and behaving like the corrupt nation they've always been.  The EU is preparing to the next four years of weapons funding they'll be sending in, showing that they're not planning to end the war any time soon.  Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán is even pointing out that only western money is keeping Ukraine going, nothing else.

But the peaceniks are too busy sending weapons to change anything.  There is still more of a sense that this war is over for all intents and purposes, Russia has accomplished whatever it was after.  Ukraine is now just sending men to death for its own sake, the population reduction Ukraine supporters are in favor of.  That's really the only reason to keep going.

Media Finally Questions Joe Biden’s “Age” and Mental Capacity – Senator Chris Murphy [D-CT] Gaslights in Response
July 30, 2023

Looking up some videos of people explaining why the "spring offensive" hasn't worked, yet, the lies get almost comical.  The weapons were sent to the wrong place?  In theory you could say US logistics have become incompetent in the last few years but there's an obvious reason for that.  Otherwise you're saying that Ukraine's not competent in shipping items to the right location.

And the Ukrainian units are mixed up on which ones received the weapons.  It doesn't take weeks to transport equipment from one unit to another but they haven't even bothered to do that yet.  It's not like these units are far from each other and it's not like there isn't a reason to move as fast as possible.  Or maybe it's not all that important to them.

Then there's the notion that Russia has defenses, that's why the offensive isn't successful yet.  Well, yes, it's a very common and very old military tactic to put up defenses.  Sun Tzu was writing about this almost 2500 years ago and the people in charge of Ukraine have never heard of it?  Even wikipedia has pages on how to counter the offensive.  What were they being sent to us for training on?

A military that's actually been trained relies on its units, that's why they're there.  But there have been many battles in history when it's all fallen apart, so those who are left have to form their own patchwork units and work together on the spot.  That's how training helps, they can work with people who have the same training, even if they've never met before.  Not like these well-paid Ukrainians being sent to have several months vacation in a dozen other nations.

New York City Hires COVID Company in $432 Million No-Bid Contract to Ship Illegal Aliens Out of the City

Except for the Ukraine supporters who want as much war as possible.  Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren had demanded an audit for all the money going to Afghanistan, but they steadfastly oppose anything like that for Ukraine.  As does every other member of the congressional uniparty.  Nothing to see there, pushing money into one of the most corrupt nations on earth infamous for its money laundering.

Which reminds that the Bidens have funneled a lot money though Ukraine for many years, and Democrats don't want anybody looking into that either.  They even impeached Trump for daring to call Zelensky and ask about the Bidens' and Ukraine.  Democrats can launder money and get away with it but Republicans must be punished for even asking the question, because Ukraine supporters agree that the law applies to everybody.

Keep in mind, this has been going on in public ever since Hillary paid money for Russian lies about Trump.  These have been proven completely false but the believers didn't miss a beat.  That's one of those things that makes it unclear if they're really fighting each other or if they're all on the same side and fighting against the rest of us, but that's basically what defines the uniparty.

Bomb Squad Called to California Neighborhood After Suspicious Package Filled With Vials Parachutes Into Backyard

Pretty sure there's not going to be any impeachment of Biden.  Hunter testifies under oath that he gets paid by foreign countries for his father's influence, despite Biden insisting that such things never happened.  Biden's already on video bragging about Ukraine not getting the money if they don't fire the prosecutor going after his son, you think that was the only time he did this?

It's a long-running criminal scheme and probably not the only one.  Democrat donors fall in love with Hunter's paintings and pay enough for a new sports car to get one, then that donor gets appointed to a federal position?  We know they're doing it and we know that it's completely against the law.  We also know Congress will completely ignore it.  Because they're stupid or because they're doing the same thing?  Doesn't really matter.

But at some point Congress will need to at least pretend this is important.  Ok, I can't even finish that thought, who am I kidding?  They're just going to shrug and go on with their day.  So why didn't Trump do this?
