On Tuesday in New Hampshire, loyal Democrats proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are members of a cult when they, 1) Voted in a primary for delegates whom the Democratic Party had already disenfranchised, 2) Wrote in Joe Biden, for whom those delegates were disenfranchised in the first place, and 3) Did all this in a New Hampshire January in an act that medieval Catholics would recognize as mass self-flagellation.
Watched the ICJ thing as it happened - at first I was hopeful. Then I realized that Ned Stark was correct - everything before the "but" is bullshit. As I said elsewhere - "Please stop being so openly genocide-y".
That "Civil War" movie coming out this spring (I think) seems scarily prescient.
Did you see what Dmitry Medvedev, the former President of Russia, wrote?
Establishing a People's Republic of Texas is getting more and more real; something I wrote about at the end of 2022 in a jocular forecast.
The American Administration shows its total inability to cope with the migration crisis which has broken out in one of the largest US states. Its governor stopped giving even the slightest damn as to what the White House and its senile old man Biden think, and started to mend barbed wire fences. Indeed, anything will do when defending against the flow of migrants who uncontrollably cross the southern border.
This is yet another vivid example of the US hegemony getting weaker, a process that is happening from the inside, and is the result of the Americans’ own actions.
So eagerly supporting the Kiev neonazis, and seemingly, blind to everything else, official Washington proved totally impotent in domestic policy matters.
With their inaction, these very authorities can drive the people of Texas up the wall – the very people who are even now mulling over separation.
There are known cases in history when some states tried to break away from the Union and form the Confederacy. The end result was the bloody civil war which cost thousands upon thousands of lives.
Either way, America can face an unsolvable constitutional crisis, and for long, fall into the abyss of a new, possibly even more destructive civil confrontation.
And the Western world, its breath held, will be staring at the American mess in fear. Well, it's their problem, anyway.
And even though the US trouble is fraught with great risks for the world’s stability, the rest of the world, crunching on its popcorn, is watching – not without malice – an attack of the Great Loser’s bad disease.
Most of the replies are what you'd (unfortunately) expect - propagandized as well as uneducated replies, with a few replies that have a basis in reality.
I've been on Twitter/X for years as it's still a place when sources like Medvedev and Scott Ritter can post - and there's some good classical music discussion as well :-). But there's also a lot to ignore!!
At the time I tried to join, a cell phone was required, and I never do anything that REQUIRES a cell phone. Yes I know I should have one. But when I worked overseas I had to carry a cell phone 24/7, and I grew to hate them. It is/was like having to be available to everyone else all the time. Not a Luddite, worked in pretty much all facets of IT most all of my life. Including software for cell phone billing. That's actually why I was working overseas. Yeah, I am on the net most of the time, anyway.
General observation - It is annoying, at my advanced age, to be treated as if I don't understand things like cell phones and POS machines, when my generation invented them and wrote the initial software. (Obligatory Get off my lawn!). The cell phone thing pissed me off. Anyway, Alex from the Duran usually opens his daily video with an interesting/amusing X segment, so I can keep up from there. Besides, who knows what is real any more. Just a general observation, not aimed at anyone!
Thanks for that video, I will check Racket News out.
Medvedev plays a role similar to American VPs--he's something of an attack dog, or at least someone who says plainly what Putin is REALLY thinking. I had not seen this.
It's not an attack this time, more like an honest observation.
"Snow jobs are like snowstorms; they eventually blow themselves away and the sun of truth shines through. This is happening with increasing frequency now to everything the Western ruling class says."
Nailed it. Could not watch the whole thing - I cannot express (and that is quite unusual for me) how very very much the sight and/or sound of Maddow makes me feel violently (heh) nauseous. She is such a lying hypocrite that she might as well be some sort of AI construct.
But yeah, always remember - it is treasonous to say that elections are/were rigged - unless, of course, you are Hillary. Then you can tour the country on that meme.
She did get a lot of mileage out of that, didn't she. Supposedly, ol' Hill is supposed to be standing in for 'Genocide' Joe during the campaign, and who knows, if ol' Joe happens to keel over the Dems will need a "proven leader"...
More and more, it is so obvious the two parties are just one corporate blob: The Republocrats.
You nailed the NH clown show.....I wasn't going to vote anyway but I missed the performance because of family business here in the DC area. But from my observations Haley/Phillips were totally astro-turfed....lots of highway signs but no lawn signs..If anyone rivals Hillary in my/country's disgust it's certainly Haley. And Trump Derangement Syndrome/virtue signalling/identity politics are all part of the spectacle...Supposedly Haley is 30 points behind in SC and will likely drop out before the primary to come back to haunt us in 2028.

Great, but depressing list, thanks!

Thanks for that! Since I do not have an X account, I cannot see replies to that. I think that is why, anyway. Do the replies agree?

Racket News is one of the few Substack sites that I actually pay for, if that says anything.

I think he called zelensky a crack-addled clown or something like that the other day. Wait - that's just an observation, too?
LOL! Yes!

And let it continue.
I think you might appreciate this short video from Racket News on the Tweedle Dee/Tweedle Dum of the Rs and Ds: https://www.racket.news/p/orf-vs-the-memory-hole-rats?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1042&post_id=141076453&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=2iji4s&utm_medium=email
I love Orf! The master of satirical political video. Thank for adding him here!

Brilliant, Barbarian, just brilliant. This made me laugh, even though it's about very horrible things.
