□ [“Hillary Clinton Tells Liberals to Ruin Memorial Day Gatherings by Bashing Trump to 'Friends, Neighbors, Cookout Attendees'"]

She really has no clue what she's talking about.  She'll need to show footage of her actually doing this if she wants to be believed and we know she (a) won't go to any Memorial Day gatherings and (b) won't permit any Trump supporters around her.  The thing is, if she has any real supporters out there, they're in the same situation.  They're fans of an old woman, they'd be lucky to go outside because there are still people unvaccinated against covid.

And who would invite these people to any Memorial Day gatherings?  You want to hang out with friends and family and enjoy the holiday, why would you need any Hillary fans around?  The more I think about this, the more ludicrous the whole concept gets.  Is it the Hillary supporters inviting people to their barbeques?  Just lemme get some propane and we'll fry some meat, then we'll flap our arms and fly to the moon!

The only positive thing here, if you really consider it positive, is that it's proof Hillary Clinton is still alive.  It's not like people putting things out pretending it came from Joe Biden, nobody would do this deliberately unless Hillary was somewhere in the vicinity and wanted this done.  But the sad part is that she thinks this will somehow be relevant.  By the way, if Trump's economy is so horrible, how can anybody afford a Memorial Day gathering?

□ [“DC Murderer of Israelis Has Deep Ties to Socialist Group, Black Lives Matter"]

It's not that they're all some tightknit group.  He knew fellow leftists like that and dealt with them, they dealt with him, but there's nothing deep.  I'm wondering how much these people even like each other.  I mean leftists are starting to appear diminished in basic human relationships, coming and going as they see any reason.  The example I cite is how Lenin and Trotsky really didn't like each other, until suddenly the revolution happened and the only way they could be in on it was to fight together.

The left is trying to make that happen now.  Just look at how they're pushing violence more and more.  There were the assassination attempts on Trump, then there was shooting the health company CEO.  Now there's the Chicago Jew-hater who goes all the way to NYC to justify killing someone when he could have just gone to a local black neighborhood and wouldn't be punished for it.  At least not by the government.

They're all surrounded by this atmosphere which justifies them to 86 whoever they don't like today.  They always think this will lead to something big which is really something that can't happen in a functional society.  Russia in 1917, Germany in the 1920s, China in the 1930s, Cuba in 1958-9.  Just top-of-my-head but Italy in 1922 was the only country that went through a revolution like this and wasn't already in major turmoil.  Mussolini was a standard socialist, he just figured out how to add nationalism to the package and the left adored him for that.

But that's the sort of thing they're trying to make happen here.  Well, they always try to do that everywhere and almost always fail, but they believe success is guaranteed.  I always assume this is a mass conspiracy but there is a very real chance it's just their perpetual boiling rage that occasionally builds to something.  They can never make rational plans and preparations, so I suspect a working government is always capable of stopping them whenever there's a real problem.

We can see that here with them really wanting to shoot people, like that will solve their problems.  You can see the constant rhetoric how 'we're at war' and they never think of what we can do to them if we really take that seriously.  Yeah, I wanna piss off 50 million armed Americans who are already sick and tired of me.

□ [“Russian 'Rubicon' Drone Squad is Destroying Ukraine’s HIMARS Artillery Systems, on Frontline and in the Rear"]

This is just ridiculous, Ukraine should have surrendered ages ago.  HIMARS are the missile systems the US provided and they aren't helping.  Use of the drones means Russians aren't facing much risk themselves.  They just keep winning and moving forward.  They have no incentive to stop fighting so if there's still any peace talks going on, they're basically irrelevant.

In fact, they have incentive to keep going all the way.  Belgium's defense minister has said that, if there's ever a ceasefire, NATO troops will immediately rush in so if the ceasefire ends, they'll be the targets.  Since Russia doesn't want that to happen, they've got no reason for a ceasefire.  What else would NATO do but build up forces so they could restart the war on their terms?

About a week ago, Trump did contact Putin and Zelensky, trying to get another ceasefire.  Obviously doesn't seem to have had any success with that.  I don't know if Trump has a clue what he's doing here but either way, this is pointless.  You want more dead Ukrainians?  This is how you get more dead Ukrainians, and that's all you'll get.

□ [“Trained and Sponsored by France, the 155th Ukrainian Mechanized Brigade ‘Anne de Kyiv’ Is Under Investigation for Corruption, Embezzlement and Mass Desertion"]

Well, unless you're able to get a slush fund from your soldier's paychecks.  I'm sure the brigade commander needed to pay some bribes to the French, and probably NATO too, just in case, but it's a very profitable business for him.  Have these troops even bothered to go back to Ukraine since the training?  Well, it doesn't matter, almost 25% have deserted.  This is what NATO, the EU and the 'new world order' are fighting for.  If anybody supports that, ask how much they're getting paid for their support.

□ [“Desperate Marvel pushes back Avengers Doomsday, cancel three MCU movies"]

It's interesting to see how Disney is dealing with its failure without admitting any of it.  Marvel is obviously the one I'm most interested in.  I've seen very few of those movies and have read very few of their comics for many years, even fewer new ones, but they're still part of my life.  By comparison, Star Wars is just part of my childhood and although the failures are interesting, the franchise has meant very little to me for a long time.

So all the recent failures are finally building up a need to fix the problem.  The Fantastic Four movie is ready to fail, although they're desperately trying to fix things by reshooting the ending right now.  I'm not sure the FF can ever be successfully made into a movie, this is their fifth attempt, but the Avengers were the central stone.  Yet everything building up to these new movies has failed.  They've gotten rid of the old characters/actors people liked, so why should anybody buy a ticket to see something that only shares a name?

By all accounts, they don't even have a script yet.  Less than a year until the release date, ready to start shooting and they weren't remotely ready?  How do you even get to that point?  There's also talk that the next two Avengers movies will be a trilogy instead, just because there's so many characters nobody's remotely interested in.  At least in comics, you just have an artist draw a few characters here or there, cheap and easy.

Phases 1-3 actually worked, I'm not sure any movie franchise has ever pulled that off, building from seemingly unconnected movies to the point where there's an overarching plot and a final ending.  Another advantage in comics is that you're following the same characters month after month.  They can't do that in movies with ridiculously expensive actors and productions.

It might genuinely be better if Marvel goes to a monthly anthology series featuring ten-minute installments of various characters over the course of a few years, but I'm sure the production would be impossible.  Pretend for the sake-of-argument that movies are a genuinely artistic medium, it just doesn't work the way comics do.  Too big, too many people, too bleeding expensive.  And they're focused on men-in-tights who solve problems by punching each other.
