"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales that Americans told themselves, like ghost stories around a campfire. But this alliance now exists."

More evidence that populist Trump's embrace of incredibly unpopular Russia is entirely personal, not political. The treasonous "Better Russia than a Democrat" sentiment in MAGA was fleeting.
Three important observations from the recent Pew poll:
1. Americans see Russia (-70%) more negatively than not only Saudi Arabia (-55%), but even China (-54%), universally considered to be the chief US adversary.
2. Americans' attitude towards UK (+54%) is less warm than to Italy (+59%) and even to Japan (+65%).
3. Trump's policies towards Canada (confrontation) and Russia (appeasement) are diametrically opposite ones compare to predominant attitudes of Americans towards these two countries(+63% and -70%, respectively).

Chris Rock just nailed one of the biggest problems with wokeness.
Helping people who feel marginalized is good. He says so himself. The trouble starts when a good cause becomes an institution.
The first few witches were real. Then you open a witch office. Now there are salaries, budgets and pensions to justify, and the office needs a steady supply of witches to keep existing.
That’s the trap. Once a cause becomes a career, solving the problem means losing your job. So the problem never gets solved. It just keeps getting redefined.
A system built to find wrongdoing will keep finding it, whether it’s there or not.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Bill Maher just awarded J.K. Rowling the Cojones Lifetime Achievement Award for refusing to bow to public pressure over her views on biological sex.
Bill Maher says Rowling is famous for being endlessly vilified for refusing to cow-tow to the opinion that a biological woman and a trans woman are indistinguishable.
Bill Maher: “I’m sorry you had to hear that kids feel free to call a suicide hotline or post an angry TikTok.”

John Cleese delivers the eulogy at Graham Chapman's funeral, as only MONTY PYTHON would.
Let’s stop the identity wars - and stop rewarding those who turn our differences into profit and power.
