CNN use to at the least spew political 1/2 truths that satisfied its far left LSD viewers.
But for the last 20+ years it could not even meet that ankle level media standard, without a grade school kid with a keyboard outing them as poor BS artists.

Calling the morning show Don Lemon’s verges on baloney. Currently, that is more of a hostage situation although I am sure that Don has plans to take things over like Dr Smith commandeered Lost In Space. He just needs cooperation from Billy Mumy and a robot.
It just goes to show that there is no true rock bottom for any media. Eventually, Lemon will end up teaching something at an Ivy League school. Brown may be a good fit as Newport Beach is close.

Department does well regionally especially with the pulled pork, and my wife still talks about how I turned an empty fridge at 2am into a meal still talked about 20 years later.
But.
Imagine a fire house with at least three talented cooks in a friendly competition.

Once repackaged the classic Wednesday plate lunch, uneaten for some reason [boggle], into a poboy. Lightly toasted French bread rubbed with garlic; aggressively reheated spaghetti, slightly crunchy; very thin slices of meatball. Could've been worse.
[Townhall] If you take an oath to protect and serve, and you end up outside of a schoolhouse with some gender freak psycho inside shooting kids, you face a stark choice. You can go in and kill the daughter of a bitch – there’s no gender insanity indulgence due this scumbag – or you can stay outside like a coward, a sissy, or an Uvalde cop. This week we saw, thanks to stunning body cam footage, that courage is not dead in America.
Words like “courage” today are almost a laugh line among our alleged betters, a relic of some bygone era, like “honor” and “normality.” The concept of someone sacrificing for another, of putting everything on the line just because he promised to do so and because he could not bear the thought of failing to keep his word is alien to our supposed best and brightest. What did those police officers have to gain from confronting the gunwoman? Maybe a round in the face. But you can watch the footage yourself. They did not hesitate. They did not dither. They went inside a building with a murderer intent on blowing their brains out. They had no idea where she was – she could have ambushed them. You saw them initially clearing each room systematically and moving forward as fast as they could. And then they heard the shots upstairs and they ran – not to safety, not to cover, but to the sound of the gun.
They crossed over the body of a dead child on the way, a graphic reminder of what could happen to them, but an even more graphic reminder that if they failed it would happen to other kids. No one made them do it. No one made them press the attack. Like that pathetic neuter cop cowering outside the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas School or the band of fearful flatfoots at Uvalde, they had the option to save themselves.
They chose to save the kids.
And when they rounded that corner and the killer came into view, they acted without hesitation and shot her to pieces. Read the rest at the link

Note to school shooters - stay out of the Hampton Roads area. Even the kindergartners are packing.

In a sickening proof that the Trans movement is "militant deviancy", the protestors at the Capitol demonstrations are all holding up SEVEN fingers, for the "victims of gun violence".

Courage and coward are the two "C-words" forbidden since the war in Viet Nam. (You remember that, it was in all the papers.) People who were cowards and dogged the draft became "heroes". People who fought in the war are not heroes, but evildoers, fighting against noble communists. We are lost and have been for half a century.
[Foreign Affairs] Chinese leader Xi Jinping says he is preparing for war. At the annual meeting of China’s parliament and its top political advisory body in March, Xi wove the theme of war readiness through four separate speeches, in one instance telling his generals to "dare to fight." His government also announced a 7.2 percent increase in China’s defense budget, which has doubled over the last decade, as well as plans to make the country less dependent on foreign grain imports. And in recent months, Beijing has unveiled new military readiness laws, new air-raid shelters in cities across the strait from Taiwan, and new "National Defense Mobilization" offices countrywide.
It is too early to say for certain what these developments mean. Conflict is not certain or imminent. But something has changed in Beijing that policymakers and business leaders worldwide cannot afford to ignore. If Xi says he is readying for war, it would be foolish not to take him at his word.

I can see another "failure of intelligence", which will require another Leviathan intelligence agency to provide better oversight over the DNI, which which was created to provide better oversight....

The west had pushed them to this point and when the Red line is presented 'something has changed in Beijing that policymakers and business leaders worldwide cannot afford to ignore.' China feels the "wolf' is at their door. Putin for eight years endured but restrained himself and his people. His people wanted to clear out Ukraine but he at first wanted Ukraine to back down as they were brothers. 20,000 troops were all Russia had presented and the West saw this as weakness. With no interest in negotiations war was inevitable. With no current negotiations war will be complete. Ukraine will be neutered.

China imports a huge chunk of their food needs and 80% of their vehicle energy needs. If they go to war, in 18 months the lights will be off and 500 million Chinese will be dead from famine.
Xi will go to war if he sees that as his and the CCP's only way to stay in power.

Meanwhile, 'Moscow “does not see itself as the West’s enemy, does not isolate itself from it and harbors no hostile intentions towards it.” It adds that Russia expects Western powers to “recognize the futility of confrontational policies and hegemonic ambitions” and to eventually return to pragmatic cooperation with Russia based on mutual respect.' So with two Russia and China united; Russia providing food and energy, China will have little or no problems. Why waist time and resources on confrontation. Promote trade between all parties for future growth and stability. I believe the Wests problem is seeing Russia or China progressing. Losing domination. This will continue in space forever otherwise.

Russia providing food and energy, China will have little or no problems
Russia only provides 20% of China's imported energy. The rest is from the Persian Gulf. China's navy can barely get past Hue in Vietnam. They can't defend that supply line.
As for food, there is no way Russia can supply all they need, especially pork. China depends on the world and the US. Unless forced they will not overturn that applecart.

I see, Dale. China and Russia are just misunderstood and mistreated friendlies, hmmm?

14 signed documents and departed as friends. The dollar is last superpower. Agreements push away the US Dollar as Saudi follows towards Chinese Yuan.

Russia and Belarus produce 80% of foods to the world. China figures prominently in supplies now. This established in 14 agreements last week between Russia and China.

This will not matter but, "The world is having difficulties across many indicators of production, including food. These problems are faced not only by developing countries in Asia or Africa but also Western Europe.
"This is becoming a serious problem all over the world. At the same time, agriculture and food industries in Belarus and the Russian Federation perform very well. This year our countries cropped a good harvest. They fully provide themselves with meat, dairy and other food products," the political scientist said.
Belarus and Russia do not depend on foreign suppliers and, therefore, set their own conditions in domestic markets."

Oh, you mean a shooting war instead of the chickenshit biological and chemical warfare you've been waging against us for the past several years? Bring it, bitch.

"Huh...", Produced in Oxford. Yes, a world depository of information provided by "Scholars", well of course it must be correct.
Covid was so scholarly. Well if it is posted in the daily mail or WHO so it must be correct.
I fish for answers elsewhere. Might not be popular but the challenge is interesting.

I am under the impression the platypus is a smallish kind of a proto-mammalian animal that lives in dens dug into the banks of the small streams in Australia in which it hunts even smaller creatures. But exactly how big the thing is, I couldn’t say without looking it up, nor whether Australia is actually where it is to be found... or even if proto-mammal is an actual term or just something I made up.
Quite possibly this is not a useful measure of size.

I reckon I'm starting to like

Who takes so much pleasure
In spending my leisure
And measures 1 world record pike.
Plus or minus a pickerel or so.
[A Midwestern Doctor via Lucianne] Prior to the Covid vaccinations, psychiatric medications were the mass-prescribed medication that had the worst risk-to-benefit ratio on the market. In addition to rarely providing benefits to patients, there is a wide range of severe complications that commonly result from psychiatric medications. Likewise, I and many colleagues believe the widespread adoption of psychotropic drugs has distorted the cognition of the demographic of the country which frequently utilizes them (which to some extent stratifies by political orientation) and has created a wide range of detrimental shifts in our society.

SSRI homicides are common, and a website exists that has compiled thousands upon thousands of documented occurrences. As far as I know (there are most likely a few exceptions), in all cases where a mass school shooting has happened, and it was possible to know the medical history of the shooter, the shooter was taking a psychiatric medication that was known for causing these behavioral changes. After each mass shooting, memes illustrating this topic typically circulate online, and the recent events in Texas [this article was written shortly after the shooting last year] are no exception.

[IsraelTimes] The Iran-Saudi deal signaled a US exit from the region, augured the rise of a Sino-centric world order, and dealt a blow to the Abraham Accords.
In an unprecedented diplomatic initiative, China on March 10, brokered a deal to restore relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, seven years after Riyadh and Tehran severed their ties.
President Biden’s Gulf strategy, which is a continuation of former President Obama’s Iran-oriented doctrine, has benefited both China and Iran.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
