In addition, we need to look at using that manufacturing capability elsewhere: mass transit and defence industries for example.

She alleged in the past that it was former Israeli PM Ehud Barak but we can’t know that for sure because Trump, Bondi, Patel and Johnson are hiding this person’s identity from the public by blocking release of the Epstein files.

Whoever it is.

For some reason.

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

"Once morality is rotted out by partisan relativism, the floor gives way and the fall into nihilism is swift."

#GiftLink 🎁

For Vance, ethical judgment has become a pure matter of partisanship, to the point of overcoming his most personal bonds. When a DOGE member was revealed to have posted “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity” and “Normalize Indian hate,” Vance—married to an Indian American—scoffed at the ensuing outrage and demanded that the offender be rehired. But when private citizens anywhere said something ugly about Charlie Kirk, the vice president went after their livelihood. Once morality is rotted out by partisan relativism, the floor gives way and the fall into nihilism is swift.

She is a fucking loon. Bizarre conspiracy theories, hates Canada, hates science, doesn’t believe in vaccines, loves the neon Nazi, fine with endless wildfires, ZERO healthcare. But her base hates who she hates. Which is basically the rest of Canada, immigrants, POC. She’s an evil bitch.

And like Brexit, a referendum in Alberta seems particularly ripe for Russian meddling to undermine 🇨🇦. Especially with so many credulous conservatives already lapping up disinfo. Fascist Russia is already at war with Western democracies and this is a golden opportunity from Putin’s point of view.

Indeed. And seems entirely likely that fascist Russia is fuelling this Alberta separatist BS behind the scenes to weaken Canada. (Just like Brexit, Trump, convoy, etc.) Smith has a history of mainlining 🇷🇺 disinfo👇 and loves Putin apologists like Peterson. She + Alberta Cons = ultimate useful idiots.

Please get your children their flu shots.

"According to the new report, 84% of kids with influenza-associated encephalopathy whose vaccination status was known weren’t vaccinated."

This year, however, doctors anecdotally noted an uptick in kids severely affected with brain inflammation after having the flu.

“We don’t know in real numbers if this is an increase, but I will tell you, being on the ground, being a physician who cares for these patients, I was certainly struck that this was an increase,” said Dr. Molly Wilson-Murphy, a pediatric neurologist at Boston Children’s Hospital. She is also an author of the new study published by the CDC.

The thing to keep in mind about the AI video of Trump dumping shit on No Kings protesters is that he is quite happy to metaphorically dump shot on MAGA's (who would deny it any way). He respects no one; it's either contempt, or fear people like Putin who can manipulate him.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

One day, historians will explain why a sitting U.S. President posted an AI video of himself flying a plane that drops feces on Americans, during a shutdown, on the same day as the largest protest in U.S. history defending Social Security, health care, and the Constitution.

Question - if wealth taxes don’t work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?
