EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY:
LIKE FUSION POWER, THESE HAVE BEEN PROMISED FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE: Male birth control pill shows promise in lab mice studies.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS ITSELF A MAJOR PURVEYOR OF DISINFORMATION: U.S. State Department Funds a Disinformation Index That Warns Advertisers To Avoid Reason: Reason is listed among the “ten riskiest online news outlets” by a government-funded disinfo tracker. “Should the State Department spend public money to help an organization pressure advertisers to punish U.S. media companies? The answer, quite obviously, is no: The First Amendment prohibits the U.S. government from censoring private companies for good reason, and government actors should not seek to evade the First Amendment’s protections in order to censor indirectly or exert pressure inappropriately.”

GREAT MOMENTS IN PERFORMANCE ART: U.S. Chargé d’Affaires in Kabul wins poster girl contest for everything wrong in Biden-world.

This Karen Decker, this CREATURE, who is the chargé d’ affairs at our Afghanistan* mission [*operating out of Doha, Qatar ~ Beege] – for AFGHANISTAN, mind you…
…just burped up the most offensive tweet of the year so far.
It is absolutely stunning.
She is getting royally dragged for it and I swear, while satisfying, it’s not enough.
While it’s true Decker is some piece of (intersectionality-obsessed) work…
…This is far from the first time when the west had no clue how absolutely pretentious it sounded when speaking to Afghans:
And this classic tweet just before the lights went out:
Live look at Decker and her boyfriend explaining the ways of the west to the Afghans:

SAD: Sen. Dianne Feinstein appears unaware of her retirement announcement during reporter gaggle. “According to multiple reports, a Feinstein staffer quickly notified the senator that a statement had already been made on her retirement, prompting her to say she was unaware the information had been released.”

SOCIETAL DEATH BY MEDIA HYSTERIA: Myth Busted: Falling Birth Rate Not Due to Less Desire To Have Children. “According to the study, the average number of children desired by women born between 1995 and 1999 was 2.1 when they were aged 20 to 24 years old. This is nearly equivalent to the 2.2 children desired by women born between 1965 and 1969 in the same age range. . . . ‘People feel more worried about the future than they might have been several decades ago. They worry about the economy, child care, and whether they can afford to have children.'”

WOMEN RUNNING OUT OF GAS: There was an echo in Ms. Sturgeon’s resignation of that of Jacinda Ardern, the prime minister of New Zealand, who announced her resignation last month by saying she “no longer had enough in the tank.”
Both of them were Covid Queens, and it’s as likely as not that they’re just trying to get out of the public eye before the true cost of what they did becomes apparent to voters.
