Well, I’m off to a new country with nowhere to stay, but as I always say, “We’ll deal with it as it comes.” I made a promise to myself that I’d cut out every distraction while I find my footing and allow myself to actually be present in the moment. So, be well and take care!

My biggest conspiracy theory is that what we’re watching in Ukraine is not just a war with Russia, but a much darker demographic and religious catastrophe. I think the treatment of Orthodox Christians and Ukraine’s collapsing population deserve far more scrutiny than they’re getting.

I ordered so much new stuff for this move, and it all got delivered last night. I haven’t even brought any of it inside yet. I’m just staring at it. I’d already decided that if this place doesn’t work out, I’m probably not going at all.

So, a very "fun" thing just happened. After I gave the agent my deposit and signed the holding agreement, the landlord was like, "Actually, because you don't have a UK guarantor, you will need to give me NINE MONTHS of rent, up front." Aside from the fact that this is illegal, uh.

And Crye can dispute having a “direct IDF contract” all it wants. Its own materials have named Israel as a user of MultiCam, and its products are sold in Israel through a registered supplier to the IDF and Defense Ministry. Why New York City is subsidizing it. Thoughts, @mayor.nyc.gov?

Hi, sure. The text is the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada) alongside symbols associated with the military wing of Hamas. The al-Qassam Brigades organization is classified as a terrorist group in Germany and the EU, and she is being detained by the German police for wearing it.

The Clintons were massively into Epstein's circles, what then? If someone is celibate do they get bonus political points? For a political ideology that claims to be progressive, they seem to parrot a lot of conservative talking points.

I wonder whether Jewish voters would be called “spoilers” for refusing to vote for a candidate enabling the mass killing of Jews, or whether this expectation people subordinate the destruction of their own community to electoral strategy is something we’re uniquely comfortable demanding of Arabs.

An issue I find tremendously uncouth is the mentality Hasan is promoting around El-Sayed working with Kamala, where people who object to that specific alliance are dismissed as “spoilers,” and the entire discussion gets reduced to “DO YOU WANNA WIN OR NOT?” Like, I'm sorry?

But the United States used that as an opportunity to assassinate him with a drone strike. The actual symbolism of Qasem Soleimani's portrait is that Iran sees Israel as a regional terrorist proxy to be eliminated, and that Iran will not allow diplomacy to be used as a means of assassination again.

The primary role of the Quds Force was targeting Al Qaeda, ISIS, and other regional terrorist groups, which should have made them U.S. allies; however, it turns out that those terrorist groups were Israeli and U.S. assets. Soleimani was lured to a location under the guise of diplomatic negotiations

People in the West might not understand the symbolism of Soleimani's portrait at the UNGA. Right now, I'm seeing Western MSM explain it as Soleimani representing Iran's regional power and influence over "proxies" who "threaten Israel and the US" The reality is, the Quds Force were anti-terrorists.

It’s really interesting that the translator pauses just as Pezeshkian says “بچہ ھا” so that we can totally hear it and hear it go untranslated

So, I’m watching Iranian President Pezeshkian and notice something odd. When he spoke about the assassination of Iranian scientists and the killing of children, the Fox News translator omitted that entirely and rendered it as “military commanders” instead. That is a pretty significant omission.
