It's Probably Nothing There Goes The Narrative Ukraine 40 Comments

Doomberg is a podcaster on financial markets whose insights I find quite valuable, although I have yet to understand why he covers his face with a green chicken cartoon. At the 14 minute mark in this interview he gets into the economics of energy and how that’s going to affect the outcome of the war in the Ukraine. In a nutshell, it’s not looking good for Zelensky.

“…once the Ukrainian counteroffensive of 2023 was defeated…it was very clear that this had converted to a grinding war of attrition and Russia was always going to win that war….I’m shocked by this…western techno-arrogance…[Russia] is not a gas station masquerading as a country. It…has a strong manufacturing base, excellent energy resources and a long history of marching east to west.”

Back in November 2025, the Washington State Department of Ecology and Washington State Department of Commerce published some statistics about how much carbon emissions have been reduced because of the programs they’re spending millions of taxpayer dollars on.

One little problem: Their numbers were off by 9,500 per cent.

Due to a data entry error, Commerce reported that 7.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced as a result of eight rebate projects funded by the CCA that support home electrification and appliance rebates for low-income and vulnerable communities. The corrected data now estimates that 78,000 tons of emissions will be reduced over the lifetime of those projects.

China Carney’s Canada:  What Carney should have said.   He doesn’t want to upset his Islamophobia advisor.

The Democratic Party’s America:   A moral blackmailing of America.   The failed State of Minnesota.

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s CBC:   A recruitment drive.  Famine in Somalia.  Evidence of Myocarditis.  Britain is facing Islamic conquest.  Begum back in business.

Your morning meme.    Another meme.     A cartoon.

First Person Take on the Arrest of Maduro?

Historical Events Venezuela 23 Comments

I can’t verify this post, but found it very compelling:

This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed.

Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn’t hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.

Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack?

Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before.

National Post- British police aided anti-Semites by fabricating evidence to ban Jewish soccer fans

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were banned from attending a game against Aston Villa last November because of “evidence” from West Midlands Police that the Jewish supporters could cause trouble.

But this week, at a parliamentary committee, it was revealed that the opposite was true. Police had evidence that armed “vigilante groups” from the local community in Birmingham were out to get the Jewish fans.

Is there any hope for the legacy media?

Tony Dokoupil, the new CBS News Anchor, recently published this:

I wish him the very best in his new role. I sincerely do.

But the fact that he didn’t include this clip, especially the part at the end where the ICE officer was struck by the woman’s vehicle, leads a reasonable person to conclude that he’s not sincere in his promise to be fair & balanced.

Here’s an honest discussion of why no one with an IQ over 65 trusts anyone in the legacy media. Correction: Why no one should.
