Zelensky’s “Victory” plan is strikingly similar to my “How I Will Get Taylor Swift to Marry Me” plan.
“US Navy Oiler Runs Aground Off Oman Coast, Forcing Carrier Strike Group To Scramble For Fuel”
Rumor has it that it was actually rear-ended by the USS Harvey Milk.Ukraine is not a “nuclear power” and does not possess nuclear weapons of its own. Any nuclear weapons employed by Ukrain against Russian forces on Ukrainian/Donbass soil would have to be supplied by NATO. Use of NATO-supplied nuclear weapons against Russian forces remains a “red line” that NATO is very reluctant to cross – and for obvious reasons.
Re: The Big Serge Krepost article
There is a not insignificant probability that the Russians are intentionally allowing as many Ukrainian/Foreign Mercenary troops and equipment into the salient as possible, and will then annihilate them by using tactical nuclear weapons on their own territory.
This would send quite an unmistakable message to any potential future invaders.
If this is not a tongue-in-cheek parody, I wonder what kind of blackmail/threat he (Hryce) is being subjected to?
@Oroboros re:163581
The head of the Secret Service cannot be fired.
She is a DEI hire.a kullervo –
IIRC Mr. Begala was President Clinton’s Chief-of-Staff at the time (or shortly beforehand), so I’m pretty sure he meant elected officials in particular.
a kullervo –
Eva V. is not an elected official or technically a politician, so IMHO Mr. Begala’s observation remains valid.
According to Wikipedia, she is “a Dutch far-right activist, known for propagating conspiracy theories and expressing anti-feminist sentiments”, so she must be doing something right. LOL…“Politics is show business for ugly people.”

How many amphetamines, steroids and ritalin can an 81-year old ingest without overdosing?
We will find out on June 27th.Re: Oroboros’ comment #160147
I am beginning to stockpile Guy Fawkes masks.
They will be all the rage fairly soon.Nvidia trades at 32 times sales and 52 times book value.
In the aftermath of the “dot-com” bubble, Scott McNealy, then CEO of Sun Microsystems asked “What were you thinking?” of investors who had paid 10 times sales for shares of the company.

— Voltaire@John Day : Re – the Ruger 10/22
Yes! Hands down the best .22 LR out there. I have the carbine model with hardwood stock and the 15- and 25- round magazines. They all perform flawlessly. Of course I also have an AR-15 with a Holosun red dot sight, but I use the 10/22 to keep my marksmanship skills at a high level. Never underestimate the lethality of the .22 LR.
Re: Firebombing of Dresden
The Red Army had advanced almost up to that point by February, 1945. German lines were collapsing. The firebombing of Dresden demonstrated to the Soviets (right in front of them) what an Allied 1,000+ plane bombing raid could do and it conveyed a message: “Proceed no further east than Berlin”.“Lawyers in Love” – what a brutally prescient vision of what this nation has actually become. From 40+ years ago. Bravo, Jackson Browne.
Re: Today’s Hopper –
NOT a bartender. It’s 1926 and there was this thing called “Prohibition” (which didn’t end until 1933).
Probably a shopkeeper. Perhaps even a Jewish one.The CIA had a busy three weeks getting their Vietnam policy sorted out in November, 1963.
Presidents Ngo Dinh Diem and Kennedy were both assassinated less than three weeks apart.
Here is what Ho Chi Minh had to say upon learning of Diem’s assassination – “I can scarcely believe the Americans would be so stupid”.[

History rhyming…I think professional wrestling is a better analogy than boxing – since it is all fake and everyone knows it.
The RFK, Jr. speech in the Tweet above brought this excerpt to mind.
“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?– Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!–All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois
January 27, 1838I may have posted this quote here before. Even if so, it is worth repeating.
“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.”
— Frederick Douglass
CDC Director Walensky on the reduction of quarantine: “It really had a lot to do with what we thought people would be able to tolerate.”
“Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.”
–Frederick Douglass“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it.”
— Upton SinclairThere is a golf course at Etretat with several of its holes laid out spectacularly right along the cliff. I was fortunate enough to play it once with a charming Frenchman named Gaby from Mauritius, who spoke absolutely no English. We enjoyed a couple of beers in the clubhouse afterwards with his wife. A fond memory.
It’s beginning to look more and more as though the virus was released to warrant the use of the “vaccines” – not the other way around.
