“In private meetings and at public events, elected Democrats appear leaderless, rudderless and divided. They disagree over how often and how stridently to oppose Mr. Trump. They have no shared understanding of why they lost the election, never mind how they can win in the future.” — The New York Times

Maybe that’s because the four years of “Joe Biden” was little more than a vaudeville show in front of the curtain, distracting you from what was going on backstage — the world’s biggest political racketeering operation as conducted by a vast bureaucracy gone wild and mad: the blob in florid, mature efflorescence, doing its blob-thing to the max, looting and punking the nation. Now it is all being uncovered, disclosed, unmasked.

Think of the Democratic Party as the entertainment arm of the overall operation. Its aim has basically been to induce you to doubt your sanity. You were asked to swallow one fabulous absurdity after another — lockdowns, vaccines that don’t prevent illness, mostly-peaceful arson, US soldiers in puppy masks, pronoun police, shoplifting-is-reparations, the wide-open border — an epic acting-out of manifold mental illness in living color. The climax was drag-queens in the primary schools, obese men in fright-wigs presenting nightmare varieties of Mom-as-monster, often with some exposure of their male junk as part of the act. Suburban mothers watched approvingly, insisting on video that this was all wholesome, edifying fun for the kiddies (while some of the more insane moms went even further at home, coaxing their little kids toward medical “transitioning”).

Can you grok how insane all this was? So, if you were a Democratic Party strategist, perhaps the first thing you’d consider these days is to stop being insane. Second, at this particular juncture, you might consider apologizing to the people of this land for your heinous antics of recent years — like an alcoholic parent who has acted very badly against the family — and promise to make the effort to get your shit together. This is obviously the part that Democrats are struggling with now, and it explains why they pretend to be at such a loss to make course corrections. Of course, any further failure to come to grips with all this will lead to the death of the Democratic Party. Never in history has a political faction gone out in such pathetic ignominy.

Yet it is not just this feckless party that needs to expiate its shame, it is also America’s thinking class as a whole, its “experts,” its managers, its educated elites, its doctors and lawyers, its curators of “news” and opinion, and most of the denizens of showbiz. For the moment, they are all cowering and shuddering before the juggernaut of Mr. Trump, who they so grievously underestimated.

They know — they can see in plain view — that he is coming for them, and many might find themselves called to account in a rebalanced justice system. Many of them committed crimes against the nation and its citizens. The raft of lawyers fired out of the DC federal district this weekend for cause —namely, for conducting overtly malicious prosecutions under dubious predication — are an early sign. Ditto, the warning issued to Chuck Schumer concerning his 2020 incitement of violence against Supreme Court justices. Imagine, too, how many officials in the public health agencies need to answer for their roles in Covid-19 — the creation of it in their labs, the worthless vaccines, and the deadly treatment protocols they insisted on.

Now, the fate of the blob itself is a thing somewhat apart from the fate of this evil vaudevillian Democratic Party fronting for it. A purge of the blob is pretty clearly underway. USAID was shot dead like a rabid dog over the weekend. The agency had gone completely rogue, serving (Mike Benz explains) as the pivot between every nefarious operation coming out of the CIA, the DOD, and the State Department’s many black box units. The billions of dollars laundered out of USAID went to support hundreds of NGOs, many of them dedicated to harming the life of this nation, such as the orgs that handed out money to illegal aliens and advice on evading detection in-country. And these many NGOs represented an employment racket for the “elite overproduction” of grads coming out of universities with useless degrees and Maoist political training. There was, of course, a giant revolving door between these NGOs and the activist ranks of the Democratic Party.

The country needs a functioning, sane, opposition party to whoever is in power, since power inevitably corrupts. Like any other powerful office-holder, Mr. Trump needs a governor and guard-rails on his actions. Something will have to take the Democratic Party’s place, maybe even a group that uses the same name for convenience and the sake of tradition. But it will have to jettison just about everything the party stands for in its current incarnation, its insane ideas and policies. It might also consider the value of not lying about everything it does.

…take ownership of it, level it, and economically develop it.  So glad he learned his lessons about nation building after the twin disasters of Iraq and Afghanistan.  Oh, wait.

ALSO: just hilarious to see the MAGA-bot likes of Laura Ingraham and Charlie Hurt try to spin this as not nation building.  “At least we’ll make some money from it unlike Iraq and Afghanistan,” she said on her show tonight.

I think it is very important to understand that our current foreign policy stance against Russia and China stems from Paul Wolfowitz’s 1992 “Wolfowitz Doctrine.” That doctrine specifically highlighted the possible threat posed by a resurgent Russia.

“Russia will remain the strongest military power in Eurasia and the only power in the world with the capability of destroying the United States.”

The doctrine establishes the United States leadership role within the “new world order.” It creates a Unipolar World where the world order is ultimately backed by the U.S. as the stabilizing factor.

“The number one objective of U.S. post-Cold War political and military strategy should be preventing the emergence of a rival superpower.”

The doctrine stated the U.S.’s right to intervene when and where it believed necessary, “convincing potential competitors that they need not aspire to a greater role or pursue a more aggressive posture to protect their legitimate interests. … We must maintain the mechanism for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role. … [W]e will retain the preeminent responsibility for addressing selectively those wrongs which threaten not only our interests, but those of our allies or friends, or which could seriously unsettle international relations.”

Basically, US Foreign Policy still operates from a failed 33 year old doctrine and is creating chaos all over the world, especially regarding Russia and China and their spheres of influence. This is the origins of the Unipolar vs. Multipolar World Order. It is high time for US Foreign Policy to finally come to grips with the world we live in today before the Military Industrial Complex either spends us into oblivion, or worse, foments global thermonuclear war due to a failed and outdated relic of the past.

Writes Wayne Goodfellow:

Insightful interview of Liz Truss, the former Prime Minister of the UK. Mark Carney was Governor of the Bank of England when she was PM and he just about destroyed the UK with his monetary policies. And now he is promoting zero carbon when CO2 is the gas of life itself through a process called photosynthesis. In other words, zero carbon represents a war against humanity and all life on this planet. It is truly diabolical yet Carney is the front-runner to lead the Liberal Party of Canada.

Reality smacks renewable energy in its face.

“The plant has faced problems from the very start. First, it never produced as much electricity as promised. The reason? The sun didn’t shine as much as expected. Yes, you read that correctly. Somehow, the geniuses behind this project failed to account for… clouds​.”

Lew,

Trump is right in line with the neocon Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has said publicly several times that the U.S. endeavors to keep Ukraine’s rare earth minerals out of Putin’s grubby, little hands. Was that the real reason for the war all along?

“Trump demands Ukraine’s rare earth minerals in exchange for continued US aid”
