Things that piss me off - People having kids they don't want and can't afford and poor people with dogs they can't afford. Who should pay for it? Landlords and the State, obviously because it's working out so well. Being a landlord in blue city would be a nightmare. Rent holidays, no background checks, people who can't take care of themselves having dogs in your rental apartment and limited eviction rights.
If the Ukraine war was a tech start up - the burn rate would have them bankrupt before the IPO because no amount of capital infusion was going to turn to positive cash flow. The chicoms are very happy with their investment in Cho Bai Den.
WAR GAMES (2) As a follow up to our previous item asking questions about our grand strategy toward Russia, Iran, and the Ukranian war (such as whether the Biden Administration has a grand strategy at all), this item from today’s Wall Street Journal jumps out:
Yet the largest ground war in Europe since World War II isn’t translating into boom times for U.S. defense contractors. Hobbled by supply chain disruptions, a tight labor market and a Pentagon procurement process that can take years, arms makers have been struggling to respond to the soaring demand. . .
When the Pentagon ordered new Stinger antiaircraft missiles—widely used in Ukraine—in August, it was the first U.S. order from Raytheon for the weapons in 18 years. By December, Ukraine had burned through 13 years of production, said Greg Hayes, chief executive of Raytheon. Five years worth of Javelin missiles had also been used in the conflict.
Raytheon was still making some Stingers for an overseas customer before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but found some suppliers had gone out of business and had to redesign parts to boost production.
“You have to recreate this entire system that was basically shut down and went scattered to the winds,” the Pentagon’s chief weapons buyer Bill LaPlante said.

Some Western Backers of Ukraine Worry That Time Might Be on Russia’s Side
As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine approaches its first anniversary, confidence has faded. Instead, officials in some capitals now fear the Kremlin, which is willing to keep throwing men and materiel into the war, could gain the upper hand in any lengthy war of attrition.
I repeat the question from the previous installment: if Ukraine starts to lose, how are our media and political elites going to react?
I just never had a long-term relationship with a leftard woman. Several very short-term relationships, but given that women are inherently emotionally unstable toss in some leftard feelings and it feels like an airplane trip next to a hyperactive undisciplined child. Watching the difference on the internet posts of leftard women and conservative women is night and day and the leftards are definitely mentally unstable and unhappy and uglier than sin.
THE DAILY CHART: MISERABLE LIBERALS Our last two Daily Charts have noted that liberals are intolerant. Let’s keep going with this theme, and note that liberals are generally unhappy people (with liberal women being the most unhappy cohort), which is one reason leftists are determined to make your life less pleasant. https://www.powerlineblog.com/ed-assets/2023/01/Liberals-dating-600x374.png
I saw this noxious narcissist on Twitchy a month ago, and I didn't know what to make of her.
She's some kind of wannabe feminist influencer who is also under the delusion that she is "beautiful" and "hot," words she uses every three tweets to describe liberal women like herself.
Even setting the Villainous Mutant Mastermind fivehead to one side -- if she didn't get the power of telekinesis with that voluminous dome, she should contact God's Complaint Department -- she's a Pizza Hut Express 3.
Not a Pizza Hut 3, mind you -- I mean a Pizza Hut Express 3, one of those hole-in-the-wall places next to the bus station bathrooms staffed by fired DMV employees where you can only get an individual-sized pizza for like 11 bucks.
But she just keeps posting video of herself and telling her h8ters to drool.

The last one ie fucking insane.
Zelensky was robbed.
Talk about insanity! I can't wait until the drug cartels get their guys in there.
Lowering standards has already nearly destroyed police work.
Glad to see some good news on Twitter for a change!
