#2  Can't even watch Fox News anymore. Can't read the Wall Street Journal. They're all a bunch of war mongers, all shallow, superficial, one-sided, chickenshit mofos. They can't remember anything that happened before the invasion and, even if they did, they wouldn't talk about it. They never do any independent research. All they do is recite press releases and cover press conferences.

Briefly about Ukraine. 03/20/2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] 1. Mariupol. During the day, no major progress was reported in the city. The fighting is in the Azovstal area, in the Levoberezhny district and north-west of the city center. There is a monstrous humanitarian catastrophe in the city, which has become a direct consequence of the criminal decision of the Zelensky gang to hold residents as hostages. Tomorrow is expected to intensify the assault operations.

During the assault, the deputy commander of the Black Sea Fleet for military-political work, captain 1st rank Paliy, died. Black Sea Fleet ships support assault units with fire.

2. Nikolaev. No significant changes. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are limited to blocking the city and carry out fire destruction of enemy forces on the outskirts of the city. The enemy snarls to the best of his ability. Kim, after hitting the 79th brigade, is no longer cheerful. Full losses are still hidden.

3. Krivoy Rog. According to the mayor of the city, the advanced units of the RF Armed Forces are already 10 km from the city, but no active actions are being taken against the city itself. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing to defend it at close approaches. Movement in the direction of Nikopol was not recorded today.

4. Zaporozhye. On the direction of Kamenskoye - Orekhov - Gulyaipole without significant changes. Zaporizhia continues to be fortified, waiting for an active development of events after the Mariupol cauldron is liquidated.

5. Ugledar. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the army of the DPR advanced quite confidently north to Marinka and Kurakhovo. The enemy retreats to the north with fighting and heavy losses, trying to slow down the advance of our troops. In a few days, I think, they will come out to Kurakhovo, which will create serious problems for the Maryinsky fortified area. The situation in Ugledar itself is not yet clear.

6. Marinka. The assault on Maryinka from the east continues. The troops are slowly moving forward. There will be no rapid progress. It is more likely that events here will accelerate when troops operating in the Ugledar region approach Marinka from the south.

7. LPR.Fighting continued north of the outskirts of Lisichansk and in Severodonetsk. Fighting continued in Popasna. It is expected that more decisive actions to liberate these cities will begin in the coming years. The grouping of the LPR and the RF Armed Forces is being strengthened to complete the liberation of the territory of the republic.

8. Avdievka. There are no significant promotions. The defense of the enemy continues to be processed on a daily basis. On the whole, the idea of ​​breaking through Avdievka's defenses head-on looks debatable, although it cannot be ruled out that a cumulative effect from prolonged bombardment will begin to take effect in the coming days.

9. Izyum-Balakleya. Fighting continued, also to the north and west of Kharkov. Their results are unclear. The enemy continues to transfer reinforcements to this direction in order to contain a potential blow to the rear of the Donbass grouping. He holds a certain number of forces in the Pavlograd region, and measures are also underway to strengthen the defense of the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration.

10. Kyiv. Fighting west and east of Kyiv. Chernihiv and Sumy without changes. An episode of mass surrender of the personnel of the 14th mechanized brigade was noted. In this direction, tendencies towards positionalism still dominate, including due to the length of the front.

Economy
Latest Inflation Advice Goes From Insulting to Psychotic
[REDSTATE] Inflation continues to slam the American people in ways not seen in over 40 years following the Jimmy Carter administration. The February number clocked in at 7.9 percent, and there are no signs things are going to slow down. Will we soon be at 10 percent inflation? That’s not a bad bet, at this point.

That reality has left poor and middle-class Americans scrambling as they have had to essentially absorb a massive pay reduction due to the increased costs of goods and services. Of course, gas prices are also nearly double what they were when Joe Biden took office.

So, how is our intrepid media handling that? Are they holding the powerful to account? Nah, they are giving advice like this.


The Bloomberg.com article itself is behind a paywall, but you get the gist of its contents in the above tweet. There are also some things within the article to enter into the realm of psychotic. For example, this is an actual quote by the author.

If you’re one of the many Americans who became a new pet owner during the pandemic, you might want to rethink those costly pet medical needs.

The answer to inflation is now to…let your pets die? Also, don’t eat meat, ride a non-existent bus if you live anywhere outside of a major metro area (or get robbed and assaulted on one, if you do live in a city), and suck it up, you big baby, because no one said this would be fun.
Or you could just make $300,000...

#3  Yeah, pasta aisles are near empty and dried lentils prices have jumped. Should I eat my Lexus, Bloomberg, is that your advice?
Posted by: magpie || 03/21/2022 1:06 Comments || Top||

#4  All grains a problem. Eggs and so on. This is not going to get better anytime soon. Democrats demand money to fix and nothing happens, truly trickle down economics in play now.

#6  It is one thing to lust for power and control. It is another thing entirely to understand the levers of power and which ones to pull when.

#8  putting beans in the meat dish as it is cooking isn't a bad decision for stews and the like, as it provides a different flavor

#10 
Will the LSD handling of the economy and its Anti-Fossil Fuel agenda, which has in a large part resulted in inflation. Turn the USA into their pipe dream of a United Socialist States and America?

#11  why bloomberg advises against buying in bulk

When buying in bulk the purchases cannot easily be transported in those little carts one sees old people pulling on the streets of New York City — a car is needed. Also, it selfishly takes limited supplies away from others less foresightful, you vile hoarder and waster.
Posted by: trailing wife || 03/21/2022 8:57 Comments || Top||

#12  Bulk also must be secured against vermin and insectoid spoilers. Many consumers can't even protect themselves.

#13  Bloomberg can shove that article from whence they pulled it from.

#14  On the bright side, you might lose some weight.

#15  Just an added note and example of Inflation.

#16  I thought buying an electric car is fun? Stop being poor sounds fun, too.

I'm waiting for the headline, "Why Biden's brilliant plan to help you lose your Covid thirty pounds is so right, and at the right time."

#17  They have ZERO intent on "correcting" what they have previously publically stated is NOT a problem. The "white church lady" crowd elected these bozos. Not literally of course--the election was stolen. But the "white church lady" crowd stupidly gave them enough votes to make the margin of the steal something the criminals could handle.

I hate 45% of my fellow citizens right now for stupidly believing that "trans rights" combined with "mean tweets" meant we needed to crater our country.
