Worst Intel Failure Since WW2 - by Mark Wauck

Worst Intel Failure Since WW2 - by Mark 

• "...What did this operation in the end achieve?

"It produced a certain amount of intelligence--which turned out to be wrong...

• It caused anger in Russia and was undoubtedly seen by Russians as confirming that the situation in Ukraine was a threat to themselves. 
• It resulted in various James Bond type activities which the Americans say they disapprove of. 

But what in the end was achieved? 

The big story of this entire conflict, the single biggest story, is the extent to which the United States Intelligence Community got Russia completely wrong. 

• They massively underestimated the size, diversity, sophistication, and flexibility of the Russian economy. 
• As a result they launched an economic war against Russia which has failed utterly. 
• They completely underestimated the resilience of the Russian military and 
• the solidity of Putin's government...

Incoherent!

FBI gets absolutely torched online over image of white women on report about retail theft rings | Blaze Media: 

A social media post from the FBI was roundly mocked and ridiculed online after it added an image of white women to a report about retail theft rings in the U.S. "Higher prices, dangerous products, and closing businesses. These are just some of the impacts Organized Retail Theft has on everyday Americans," read the post.

Decisions and Common Sense

Kari Lake and Common Sense - Seth Leibsohn 

• As we are now in high political season, we propose a thought experiment before too many decisions are frozen in amber too early on. 

"For Republicans and Independents, and even Democrats whose fond memories of the party run back to the ideals of the 1960s: 

• How extreme is it to support a strengthened and secured U.S. border to keep dangerous people and products from flowing into the country?

A few more questions to satisfy the experiment: 

How ideal would it be for the United States to be energy independent? 

• Who among any of us does not want to see our homeless population housed, free of addiction, and treated of their mental health issues? 
• Who among us does not think that for the $900 billion Americans spend on elementary and secondary education, our scores and achievement levels should be much higher? 
• Who here thinks the drug poisoning problem—at historically record highs—cannot be addressed and reversed? 
• Who among us thinks our deficits and government spending priorities are keeping us on the track of economic prosperity and financial health?

Nearly any candidate that shares the obvious answers to the foregoing questions would be the kind of candidate nearly every Republican, Independent, and commonsense Democrat would take seriously and support. 

Especially against someone who answers each of those questions wrongly...

MuskegonPundit: From the web---How we got the politicians we got!---Free Ice Cream

"The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.

• I decided we would have an election for a class president.

We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections.
Both candidates were good kids.
I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.
I had never seen Olivia's mother.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. 

Everyone applauded.

He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. 

Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." 

She sat down. 

The class went wild. 

"Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." 

She surely would say more. 

She did not have to. 

A discussion followed. 

• How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? 
• She wasn't sure. 
• Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? 
• She didn't know. 
• The class really didn't care. 
• All they were thinking about was ice cream. 

Jamie was forgotten. 

Olivia won by a land slide.

• Every time most politicians open their mouths, they offer ice cream, and fifty percent of America reacts like nine-year-olds.

They want ice cream.

Imagine the world-wide media meltdown had Trump done same to Biden!-----THIS IS KIND OF A BIG DEAL:

Instapundit-THIS IS KIND OF A BIG DEAL:

"Obama’s CIA Asked Foreign Intel Agencies To Spy on Trump Campaign. 

“The revelation that the U.S. intelligence community, under the Obama administration, sought the assistance of the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance to surveil Donald Trump’s associates before the 2016 election is a chilling reminder of the lengths to which the Deep State will go to protect its interests and challenge its adversaries. 

(The Five Eyes countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.) 

This bombshell, reported by a team of independent journalists, exposes a dark chapter in American political history, where foreign intelligence services were reportedly mobilized against a presidential candidate.” -  Stephen Green

WTF US patron booted American Airline flight illegal migrant | Blaze Media: 

U.S. children are being kicked out of schools to make room for illegal immigrants. Airports and other spaces are being repurposed to house illegal immigrants. American taxpayer dollars are being used to provide care and resources for illegal immigrants.

You get the picture: illegal immigrants > American citizens.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the pattern will shift anytime soon, at least while Biden remains in office.

“I could not believe what I was watching this morning when I was on Twitter,” says Sara Gonzales before playing a clip of the local news report she stumbled across.

Why Are Billionaires Selling Off Stocks And Building Massive Survival Bunkers?

Why Are Billionaires Selling Off Stocks And Building Massive Survival Bunkers? - MICHAEL SNYDER

"If you want to determine what people believe, don’t listen to what they say...many of our most famous billionaires have been doing things that indicate that they are extremely concerned about what is coming in the future...

• Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon, and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg have all sold big chunks of shares in their own companies. How come?...
• In recent weeks, much has been made of the fact that Zuckerberg and his wife are constructing an absolutely massive survivalist compound in Hawaii...So why is Zuckerberg going to such effort?...
• But many other ultra-wealthy individuals are also preparing for doom.  In fact, Sam Altman and Peter Thiel both seem to be extremely alarmed about the times that are approaching…He also said he and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel have an “arrangement” to flee to one of Thiel’s luxury properties in New Zealand in the event the End of the World comes about.

Why would Sam Altman need guns and gas masks?...

Instapundit - MR. PRESIDENT, WE MUST NOT ALLOW A PROGRESSIVE MEDIA GAP!

"Ex-MSNBC Mehdi Hasan Launching His Own Media Company to Fill Progressive ‘Gap in the Market.’

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan is launching his own digital media company that he’s hoping will fill a “gap in the market.”

“No one really on the progressive left has been able to pull off anything similar,” Hasan told The Washington Post’s Jeremy Barr about the venture.

He added later that there is a “craving” and “gap in the market” he intends to fill.

“I believe there is a craving for media organizations that don’t shy away from saying the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable, even if it bothers people, even if it hinders access, even if it shakes the apple cart,” he said. “From a purely business perspective, there is a gap in the market.”

Paul Krugman Plays the Fool: 'White Rural Rage' Is 'Single Greatest Threat Facing American Democracy' By Mike Miller

Paul Krugman Plays the Fool: 'White Rural Rage' Is 'Single Greatest Threat Facing American Democracy' By Mike Miller 

""Distinguished" economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman... the elitist, bubble-dwelling left-winger made a complete fool out of himself by declaring "white rural rage" is the "single greatest threat facing America" today.

Not only did Krugman fail to connect the dots between "white rural rage" and whatever "single greatest threat" he concocted in his TDS-riddled brain, but he also failed to provide a single example of how this alleged rage is manifested...
In a Monday NYT op-ed titled "The Mystery of White Rural Rage," Krugman hyperbolically wrote (emphasis, mine):

...This is especially true when technological change undermines not just individual workers but whole communities.

This isn’t a hypothetical proposition. It’s a big part of what has happened to rural America.

This process and its effects are laid out in devastating, terrifying, and baffling detail in “White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy,” a new book by Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman. I say “devastating” because the hardship of rural Americans is real, “terrifying” because the political backlash to this hardship poses a clear and present danger to our democracy, and “baffling” because at some level I still don’t get the politics...
