But it brightened up later. Sunny. 60°. Perfect, really. Just a dark sunrise to kick things off.

Remember all of these pieces of shit supported banning Trump and his supporters from social media.

Now they are upset that people are calling them out for acting like fascists and trying to kill their political opponents too.

Democrats are evil people and we will never have a free country with them in it.

Do you believe Trump that Iran is on the verge of collapse and desperately wants to open the straight at Hormuz when their fluid leadership solidifies?

Howard કહ્યું...

Speaking of COVID, I keep running my 20" cube Merv 14 boxfan air filtration system 24/7 in my house. It's in the kitchen, the biggest source of particulates and the heat and ventilation draws air from all over the house. Installed five new filters last week. It's part of why my allergies are way down into the noise of daily life. Joe Bob says check it out.

China poised to restart exporting jet fuel, diesel and gasoline ~ FT
"Beijing signals relaxation of export ban imposed at start of Iran conflict"

Soft power demonstrated in every situation.

What is not said explicitly is that Trump's blockade is not stopping Chinese ships so of course they have oil. Oil which they can now use to enhance their image in SE Asia.

I would make a bet that way more than 90% of the regular people, not the propaganda merchants, who claim that criticizing Israel's genocide in Gaza, its actions in the West Bank and Lebanon, is somehow "antisemitic," don't have any close Jewish friends, because Jewish Americans mostly agree with Bernie Sanders, also Jewish, and he is as harsh on Israel as I am.

BTW, if you hate Bernie, that's kind of antisemitic, isn't it? Because a lot of Jewish people agree with him on a lot of things. But if you don't have any friends in the tribe, you probably don't know that.

Leftism

A couple weeks ago a fundraising event was held for the ACLU in NYC.
The event featured drag queens cosplaying as Erika Kirk, Melania Trump, and others.
The event centered around mocking Charlie Kirk and making fun of his widowed wife.
Over $25k was raised.

A GoFundMe to raise money from anyone who couldn't attend (and it seems from similar events in the past) - organized by the same drag queen who led the event - featured the ACLU's logo, meaning that such things are apparently endorsed by the ACLU.

Videos posted of the events got hundreds of thousands of likes and comments from many on the Left who support mocking people assassinated for their political views.

This is Leftism for u.

Remember all of these pieces of shit supported banning Trump and his supporters from social media -- Achilles

Not just that Achilles, they cheered when Obama called Bob Iger and had him fire Roseanne Barr 5 hours after Rosanne said Valerie Jarret looks like an ape. Obama allowed no “jokes” about him and his housemates. Then there’s the rodeo clown he had fired for wearing an Obama Halloween mask.

They also never cared that Obama seized the phone records of EVERY AP reporter in the name of National Security. The left only has phony complaints because they are guilty of so much more than Trump and in their black hearts they know it.

It’s difficult to even “break bread” with these nut cases on the left. They are keen to forfeit their position in the human race.

imTay કહ્યું...

So Bissent set up a "dollar swap line" for countries that you would never think needed them, since, you know, they have sovereign wealth funds with trillions of US dollars. So why? Because if, for example, the Emirates suddenly find themselves in desperate need of dollars, well, they will sell dollar denominated assets, like US stocks, or US bonds.

Where's the harm? Where will the dollars come from for the dollar swaps? Well, we certainly are not going to take it out of our budget, so we will just print a ton more dollars, and when the world is flooded with dollars, well, they will become worth less. Nothing is free.

This war was stupid, and if we think that Iran is just going to capitulate, and then wait for the Israelis to assassinate them one by one while "more reasonable" people are put in charge? No, I think that they figure that if they are going down, they won't be going alone, and lay waste to the Gulf States, which is fine with Israel, BTW. Because an Armageddon seeking death cult actually wants this.

What will happen to stocks and interest rates when Gulf states are faced to sell them to survive?

This was a stupid war, a war that only a psychopath using a narcissist would start.

Vladimir Putin pares back Victory Day parade over fear of Ukrainian strikes ~ FT

“Festivities in Moscow on May 9 will exclude heavy military equipment for first time in almost two decades, as Ukraine’s intensifying long-range strikes threaten to overshadow Vladimir Putin’s showcase event.“

It is hard to hold a Victory Parade when your military is not capable of achieving victory. This news doesn't make for good propaganda does it.

Peachy કહ્યું...

Be nice if the broken leftist EU could take care of Putin once and for all. This is after all, their backyard.

It seems the EU's love of Islamic immigration, dead-end fake green energy, and self-inflicted leftist crap - has left them without any means to protect themselves and their neighbors from a thug.

rehajm કહ્યું...

Well, we certainly are not going to take it out of our budget, so we will just print a ton more dollars, and when the world is flooded with dollars, well, they will become worth less. Nothing is free.

…that isn’t the mechanism being set up. This is allowing access as a source of liquidity, allowing foreign markets to function more smoothly. It is not ‘printing money’ nor is it inherently inflationary. Even if it was USFed has the tools at its disposal to mitigate those effects…

James K કહ્યું...

Imtay doesn't understand what a swap is. It's not spending, it's more like a secured loan. We buy their currency, and then sell it back to them in the not-too-distant future. We might gain or lose a little in the deal, but the risk is minimal. We made money off the swap with Argentina.

Eva Marie કહ્યું...

Very disappointed. No extensive spread on fashions at Tuesday state dinner - that I could find.
My observation on the photos I did see:
There must have been some coordination between Queen and First Lady. Added to the elegance of the photos.
The Queen has become prettier as she ages. Her facial features have softened to good effect.
Melania’s gown was gorgeous but didn’t upstage the Queen.
“I get it. No lace at the White House. Noted.”
That’s Lauren Sánchez in a recent NYT interview. And she did get it. Black gown that still emphasized her cleavage, of course.
Nothing like the crimson corset dress she wore at one of Biden’s state dinner:

Aggie કહ્યું...

Jimmy Kimmel thinks he's being a brave comedian by employing edgy humor. Well - he would call it edgy, others would call it intentionally hurtful, raising the prospect of harm over a President who had already suffered two serious assassination attempts, and now has suffered three.

Jimmy also enjoys protective cover while he does this. Jimmy thinks that doing something that is hurtful and at the expense of others, while trusting that his protective cover will hold, is a brave act. Jimmy thinks that 'placing trust' in this way, is a brave act, in and of itself. So he's outraged when people point out the inappropriate humor. 'But I'm funny and I'm brave !'

Eva Marie કહ્યું...

I subscribed to Vanity Fair in the hopes of seeing photos from last night’s state dinner. No such luck. I did read an article about the news correspondents gala:
“We are all Cheryl Hines. Unprepared for the scenario in which we will be forced to run for our lives. Watching the important people be whisked away while we wonder whether we should try to follow them, or duck under a table, or grab the good wine.” (There was some antiTrumpism after this)
I was a bit nonplussed at seeing the wives left behind as the men were quickly hustled away. I understand it but I hope they discussed it with their wives sometime before this event.

“Be nice if the broken leftist EU could take care of Putin once and for all.“

Europe must reassess just what future military requirements are in light of experience in Ukraine and the Middle East. One does not want to over-invest in yesterday's military assets. Tomorrow is very different from yesterday; that is what today's wars are teaching.

Germany should focus on being able to deter and contend with and defeat air threats emanating from Russia or elsewhere from the east. Air defense is the central challenge.

The future is more techy, more autonomous, more small and light. Air defense becomes a crucial area undergoing reinvention.

Europe must develop European competencies. Being reliant on American weapons systems is both expensive and potentially crippling. Reliability is now a permanent liability of America.

Europe needs a European-conceived strategy for how Europe defends itself and its international interests.
