LEFTIST TEARS:
We’ve lost Venezuela. We might lose Cuba. The condition of Palestine is desperate. Global climate action is dead. Technofascists are running everything. The US “left” is Magafied populist trash in possession of zero brain power.

He’s right about the US left having zero brain power, though, I gotta give him that.
UPDATE: Take the W, people.
There’s a personality I distrust most and it’s the people who say it wouldn’t have mattered if Kamala won instead of Trump or that it was preferable for her to win so we could accelerate toward what’s inevitable.

ELON AND MONEY — WHAT HIS LEFTIST CRITICS CAN’T COMPREHEND:
My quote from the New York Times today:
Adeo Ressi, Mr. Musk’s college roommate at the University of Pennsylvania, said the SpaceX chief never cared as much about financial gain as obtaining resources to help him achieve his entrepreneurial goals. For Mr. Musk, “money is a means…

ANOTHER “CONSPIRACY THEORY” TURNS OUT TO BE TRUE: Tulsi Gabbard: Yes, There Were US Funded Biolabs in Ukraine. “Rather than tell the truth, assuming the funding was benign in intent, the press and the White House went into full propaganda mode and denied everything. Victoria Nuland, ironically, had told at least part of the truth briefly before the coverup went into overdrive, but as with COVID, the government, and especially the Biden administration, had an allergy to the truth.”
Plus:
So what do we know? Well, the funding stream dates back to the end of the Cold War. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian bioweapons labs were in funding freefall, and Western powers wanted to ensure that the scientists didn’t sell viruses or their expertise, or that, through neglect, disasters didn’t happen.
So we poured money into both nuclear and biological research in the Soviet Union. Basically as preventative bribes and to exercise some control. Why that funding stream in Ukraine went on for decades, and why Ebola and SARS viruses were in Ukraine, is a serious question. But then again, we are talking about our federal government, run by idiots like Fauci, who do stupid things that kill people.
We did something similar with Soviet rocket scientists, to keep them from going to work for third world dictators making missiles. And:
What we don’t know is that these biolabs were actually conducting biowarfare experiments. Just because the government lied about the existence of these facilities for political reasons does not mean that the worst possible interpretation is correct, as many assume.
In other words, we don’t know what this means beyond the fact that the Biden White House lied, which just means that it was a day ending in “Y.”
They lied not so much because it was in their interest, as because it was in their nature. At any rate, I’m more concerned about the secret Chinese biolabs in the United States, working on pathogens.

RICHARD FERNANDEZ ON WHAT’S GOING ON WITH IRAN:
The SOH blockade ends with the USN taking or diverting 152 Iranian ships — for now. By comparison Europe has physically stopped, boarded, detained, or redirected around 10–15 well-documented Russian Dark Fleet ships as of mid-2026—despite sanctioning hundreds.
Iran to be sure,…
