. Less han 24 hours afer my last post, Elon Musk opted o restore Sarlink and other tech services to Ukraine.
Ukraine's Starlink restored as Elon Musk claims Kyiv violated terms of service 'to kill people' SpaceX CEO says company has done more to defend Ukraine than any private firm 'by far'
So that undermines your talking points. Despite that Ukraine violated the terms he conditioned Starlink service to Ukraine on, it appears Musk is more concerned about saving lives than about Ukraine keeping their terms.
You know who serves Russia, M E M? Your Democrat propaganda machine.
And by the way, as I've cited before, U S aid to Ukraine far eclipses aid from all the nations of the E U combined. What the EU purchases in Russian oil, is on the net far more than they give in aid to Ukraine. So on the net, the E U nations are actually supporting Russian genocide, rather than Ukraine.
So aid to Ukraine really amounts to... Trump. And Musk.
Your guarantees mean very little to me WB. It boils down to political violence is ok with MAGA when they do it.
Meanwhile Trump has ordered the DOJ to interfere with the election results in Alaska if the republican loses. Prior to Trump, the DOJ was expected to be independent and working for the American people. I think everyone is prepared for more to come as Trump is very unpopular even in republican polls. We already know what he does when he loses.
NO.
In the examples I cited, it boils down to Democrats orchestrating and committing violence.
And Republicans are consistently falsely ACCUSED of violence, often in situations where Democrat agitators or false-flag paid thugs do the violence, and then blame Republicans for their own (Democrat-Bolshevik) bad acts. The violent situations DEMOCRATS actually created. When opponents of Democrats, including the police, ICE agents and Border Patrol act with lawful restraint, Democrats use false-flag agents or trained/paid leftist agitators, try to overwhelm law enforcement, hoping police/ICE/BP/Republicans will make a mistake. And then the Democrats use the incident that THEY DELIBERATELY CAUSED as a rationalization for more rioting, and more violence.
Your Democrat-Bolshevik party at work. A party built on on deception. And Marxism. Funded over many decades by the Soviet Union, the Chinese Communist Party, globalist Marxists like the George Soros web of front-groups, Neville Roy Singham, Jamie Pritzger, and billionaire LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman. Black Lives Matter. Anifa. Anti-Ice. The Open Borders movement. Occupy Wall Street. "No Kings".
And in recent years, joined by the Democratic Socialists of America, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the islamic government of Iran ("death to America").
What more proof is needed, that the Democrat party is the CHOSEN INSTRUMENT for those who want to destroy the United States? Destroying from without, and from within.
And the polls you cite are DEMOCRAT polls, as they have been since Michael Dukakis ran for president in 1988. The polls showed Dukakis winning by 17 points. How did that actually work out? G H W Bush won, by a landslide in the other direction. Same thing in 2016. Same in 2024.
The polls are largely done by liberals, and they are consistently wrong, and BY THE WEIRDEST COINCIDENCE, always in favor of the Democrats. They are a form of psychological warfare on Republican voters, done to suppress Republican voter turnout, to convince Republicans their candidate can't win. To make them give up and stay home.
I've posted here many times, Democrat pollsters over-sample Democrat opinion, over-sampling about 10% more than there are Democrats in the population, so lo and behold, polls always show Democrats winning. Even when Democrats actually end up winning, polls consistently show Dems winning at a much higher ratio than they actually do on election day. And conversely, polls show Trump retaining voter support like no Republican president in history. As Harry Entin cited on CNN, about 99% of Trump voters remain supportive of Trump. They know the Democrat alternative is like voting Lenin and Stalin in 1917.
Already posted at least once before how the 97 percent figure is deceptive. It’s a very small percentage that actually donate anything. And in this administration you were probably targeted if you were a democrat. Or if you were assigned on any investigation on the orange fraudster.
And I already posted that far beyond just political donations by FBI/DOJ, there has been massive cover-ups in multiple FBI scandals over the last 20 years a least, that shows a high ratio of FBI/DOJ agents are complicit in covering up abuses in FBI/DOJ. Two FBI agents just today were forced to give testimony about their PROVEN false previous statements about what they knew about he Hunter Biden laptop before he 2020 election, vs. what they said previously under oath.
So far as I've been able to see over the last 10 years, there are NO SITUATIONS, NONE, where you acknowledge there has been ANY criminal partisan political abuse of FBI power, by ANY agent, not even Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, or dozens of others in FBI leadership forced to resign or be fired over the last 8 years. And after resigning or being fired for what they did in 2016-2017, then at their new jobs in social media, they coordinated with other Democrat-Bolsheviks who remained in FBI/DOJ and CIA, to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, AGAIN, during the Nov 2020 election, to rig the election for Joe Biden by suppressing the vote.
So... your proving to be an obscenely partisan Democrat-Bolshevik yourself, I don't see how you have exhibited any objectivity when it comes to recognizing FBI corruption, the extent of it, or having the understanding, or even the DESIRE, to weed it out or punish it. Quite the opposite, you seem to cheer on past abuse. And cheer on re-weaponizing the FBI as soon as Trump leaves office, at whatever point Democrats regain power.
Likewise, you are absolutely tone-deaf to the FB/DOJ abuses of power in the Mar A Lago raid (even leaders in the FBI now acknowledge there was no justification for a warrant, to have done that raid). And you are likewise one-deaf to the outrageous Constitutional abuses in the four made-up fake trials directed by Merrick Garland and Joe Biden's DOJ, WHILE TRUMP WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, no less. BIDEN'S POLITICAL OPPONENT ! Nope, nothing to see here, nothing at all...
You cheer on every abuse of power, in setting up a one-party authoritarian Democrat-Bolshevik permanent takeover, and shredding the Constitution and checks and balances in the process to do so.
And I JUST CITED, ONE POST ABOVE], sourced and linked, an article that shows a similar 90% to 99% infiltration, the same Democrat-partisan corruption, in at least 17 other federal agencies. Likely all of them. FACT. Cited. Sourced.
And from DETECTIVE COMICS 455, Jan 1976, an 18-page story by Elliot Maggin, with art by Mile Grell. Where Bruce Wayne and Alfred are driving through a rural area, and when their car breaks down they look for help in what appears to be an old long abandoned home, and inadvertantly awaken a long-dormant vampire, ending up in a fight for their lives.
I'd love to re-post the one from BATMAN FAMILY 1 also. But ReadAllComics.com has been down since about July 1st, and no other site I've been abIe to find has it up elsewhere. I hope they bring it back, ReadAllComics' down-status has remained down since early July. But they were down for about a year previously, and then came back, so there is some hope it'll be restored.
You can imagine and pretend the orange fat corrupt slob was going to at some point unban the networks he shut out. The reality is he actually did what Obama never did. The Sandman story was an instance where the news updated the story as more information came in. This is different than Trump’s election lies where conservative networks ran with the conspiracy stuff and stuck with it even though they knew it was bs. The lies and conspiracies are popular with their large maga audiences.
No the Leftist news media deliberately ignored the facts, to portray Nicholas Sandmann and his friends as white-priveledge racist brats picking on a Native American man of color. And the news media spun i his way over and over WAY AFTER he media knew he rue facts. That is precisely why Sandmann has gained hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements from lying news source after lying news source. They KNEW they were lying, the whole ime, from he beginning, and the case each time is iron clad, to the point they HAVE to settle. .
Regarding Trump and his temporarily banning CNN and Poliico, I still say his own advisors behind the scenes no doubt told Trump early on that the press ban could not legally hold, and he is just dragging out this temporary ban to hurt those two lying news sources.
That's Elon Musk on the "Open Season" T-shirt. But it could just as easily be Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, or any number of clearly identified targets of threats and hatred by the Democrat-Bolshevik Left. And the Left have been carrying French-Revolution-invoking guillotines and severed heads in their mass protests since at least the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011, and in many since. Nope, nothing to worry about here, nothing at all....
And while the 5-minute interview of Neal Adams is still up on page 1 of the topic, Neal Adams was one of ten "masters" interviewed, so here is the full 1 hour video, produced by Ken Viola in 1987, hosted by Harlan Ellison, who gives 1-minute introductions to each of the ten artists, each speaking for about 5 minutes.
In order they are : 1. Will Eisner 2. Harvey Kurtzman 3. Steve Ditko 4. Jack Kirby 5. Neal Adams 6. Berni Wrightson 7. Moebius 8. Frank Miller 9. Dave Sim 10. Art Spiegelman
Beautiful girl. I think there are less good photos of her available, because her career peaked in the early/mid 1940's, so less good photos exist.
Her peak was with the "Road to..." movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. And despite that her being in those movies helped propel those two male actors to stardom, she was given a diminished role in the last one of the film series in 1962.
Jack Smith's target list of over 600,000 Republicans, for things as small as purchasing Trump memorabilia, such as a Trump hat, or donating as little as $1 to Trump's campaign.
It’s sad if you really think that way Lothar. Sadder if you know better and at this stage of your life you really should.
I could cite examples from reported news in just the last 3 months, that absolutely prove Democrats' hatred of all the things Lothar just listed.
I mean geez, they even obsess over and hate Sydney Sweeney.
This is what being too partisan looks like.
When you demonize a beautiful girl who makes a playful jeans commercial, and call her a white supremacist just for joking "I have good jeans", THIS is what being too partisan looks like.
When Democrats give millions of "likes" repeatedly on Facebook and Twitter each time Trump is almost assassinated, or at the news Trump had Covid and they thought he might die, THIS is what being too partisan looks like.
When Democrats did the same when Charlie Kirk was actually shot and killed, and thousands of Democrats posted creepy videos on social media of themselves gloating about Charlie Kirk's death, to the point that their employers fired them, THIS is what being too partisan looks like.
When multiple Democrats working as nurses in hospitals made videos on social media where they fantasized about giving deliberately fatal medical care to Republican patients, to make them die (3 of them, all 3 fired), THIS is what being too partisan looks like.
When several polls of Democrats show that 55% of Democrats think it would be "morally justified" to assassinate Trump, and 48% think assassinating Elon Musk would be morally justified in the same poll, just for supporting Trump, THIS is what being too partisan looks like.
But they are far beyond "partisan" at this point.
These are the kind of people who would lynch their neighbors, or round them up and put them in a concentration camp, or commit genocide on them. Look in the mirror, M E M.
You'd have been one of those Germans that killed themselves for fear of a world without Nazism in 1945. Feel free to follow their lead should Democrats win the midterms.
Yet another time where you wish me to die or be killed. You really are a deeply malicious and sick person.
Democrat Leftism is the closest comparison to Nazism: using cancel-culture, intimidation and violence to silence all political opposition. Calling other people Nazis... as THEY (including you) behave like Nazis.
...in 1973, agents of the United States government assisted in the overthrow of a democratically elected head of state, Chilean president Salvador Allende, as part of a decades-long effort to advance the interests of global capital and the Western settler colonial project. Never forget.
I share this on 9/11 because it reflects something I was too young and ignorant (not an insult, merely a descriptor) to understand when I saw the towers fall on live TV from a cafeteria chair as a college freshman. Not to mention something I was blissfully unaware of (or perhaps unwilling to acknowledge) for many years following, if you feel like digging through this very forum for the bullshit I "contributed" two decades ago (ergo why I'm not here to shit on anybody who's pieced it together since then or maybe known it from jump).
The victims of 9/11 do not deserve to be the butt of jokes any more than do the over a million civilians murdered by the unlawful wars which followed. The United States, as in the 350M+ people who reside here, did not "deserve" the events of 9/11. However, it is by now impossible in good faith to deny that those events were a reaction to decades of exploitative and imperialistic US foreign policy on just about every continent. And the almost immediate reaction of our government in the wake of that tragedy, and indeed the ongoing actions of our government in the intervening quarter century, have if anything doubled down on global pillaging and extrajudicial murder.
Only now, as the surveillance state enables the imperial boomerang to spin its way back onto our own soil, are many people realizing what took me over a decade to be able to admit: Both the victims of 9/11 and the victims of the "Global War On 'Terror'" are victims of US foreign policy, the Western settler colonial project, and the global capitalist order both exist to enable. 9/11 showed the world what America the government, America the economic project, America the perpetual motion global war machine has been for nearly a century now. And before someone talks about how it "brought people together," at some point I'll need to tell you (maybe on 9/12 if I can be bothered to remember) why it exposed what America the society has ALWAYS been for at least someone right here at home.
And before somebody trots out the same tRoOpS they seem to conveniently forget whenever the VA gets its funding slashed, I have several family members who are no longer with us and many friends, including some of my closest, who have served in the military. I am not interested in individual appraisal of anyone in uniform, because if you want to chase down EVERY person who to ANY extent has participated in or profited from the evils America has wrought in the world, I and most of us in the US need to go look in a mirror.
No.
Neiher the people who died on 9-11, or the country itself, deserved to be attacked on 9-11.... but (your true opinion, in almost your next sentence) actually DID allegedly deserve it because "it is by now impossible in good faith to deny that those events were a reaction to decades of exploitative and imperialistic US foreign policy on just about every continent" (no examples cited) ?!?
As a Canadian journalist wrote 25 years ago, for all its mis-steps, the United States has done more good and less evil than any other major power in world history. Have there been examples of U.S. over-reach and hubris? Yes. But the United States, particularly at any time since World War II has had the ability to seize the world at any time, and has not. As the same Canada writer cited, rather than crush all opposition after 1945, we instead completely re-built our two greatest enemies (Germany and Japan), and allowed them to become our largest economic competitors, and incredibly, our friends and allies. I find it hard to label my own country "evil", particularly when it has done such generous things, that no other country would have done. Anywhere in the world where there is a devastating earthquake or hurricane/typhoon or other disaster, the U.S. sends its military in along with doctors, food and other humanitarian aid to re-build their homes and infrastructure, to save and heal their children. "Evil, imperialistic"? I think not. Compare how the U.S. helps develop a country, vs. how a place like China does. The U.S. builds infrastructure in third world nations, and shares the profits with them, trains the locals so they know how to continue it, even if we leave. Whereas when China develops a country, they take total control and burden them with debt and permanent obligation to China, all the key people who develop the country are brought in from China, and if China leaves, they are helpless to keep it going. Worse off, not better.
Read the book WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT AMERICA, by Dinesh D'Souza, to see a factual argument against what you have been led to believe.
D'Souza mentions an article he previously wrote before his book, called "Two Cheers for America." He says he can't quite have three cheers for European/American colonialism, because some bad stuff happened over those centuries. But on the net, he cites, all these former colonized nations are far better off for having been colonized by Europe.
D'Souza cites his own native India. That if 150 years of British colonialism had been nothing but bad, India would have rejected all things British as soon as they gained independence. But they have a business system and stock market like the British, and even dress like Europeans there, they have a university system like that of the British, they have a hospital system like the British, and a military heirarchy like the British.
EVERY SINGLE NATION in world history has its recorded hubris and over-reach, every nation was built on territorial conquest, on every continent, every race, and each has its atrocities. Despite the U.S. over-reaches of the CIA and its military, I would argue that it is restrained, relative to the history of possibly any other nation. I fail to see what makes you hold up the United States, your own country, to exceptional scorn.
Communist nations and revolutions have murdered at least 100 million people in the last century. Who has done more damage: The U.S. in supporting a counter-revolution against communism in Chile? Or the successful communist revolutions in Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Vietnam and Angola? MILLIONS more dead in these places, despite the absence of the United States in these communist regimes.
And Islam has been slaughtering millions, wiping out whole civilizations and destroying lives since the 7th century, long before there was a United States, long before there was European colonialism. In fact, the Moors and the Ottomans brutally conquered an occupied half of Europe for centuries. There is absolutely NOTHING you can say to convince me that the U.S. "caused" Islamic radicals to attack us, on Sept 11 2002, or any other time. They have been fighting a war of extermination on every non-muslim civilization before we had a chance to commit any transgressions against them. Nations and peoples who did nothing to them, other than exist, and have the misfortune to not want to be muslim. And just as often, killed Muslims who just had a different view of how to practice Islam, and so were slaughtered for not being of the One True Faith.
So I think your embracing the talking points of our enemies, people who hate us, people who want to overthrow and replace us, who look for any pretense to kill us, is deeply misguided.
I was surfing channels, and saw a few minutes of an old Mannix episode, and the main guest star looked so familiar, but I couldn't place him. It's a Canadian actor named John Colicos.
He played the Klingon commander in the original Star Trek episode "Errand of Mercy".
And apparently beyond that, was very influential on Gene Roddenberry, shaping how the Klingons were developed and portrayed.
On American television, he established himself as a science-fiction villain icon, portraying the first Klingon ever seen in the Star Trek franchise, Commander Kor in the Original Series episode "Errand of Mercy" (1967).[12] Colicos worked with Gene Roddenberry designing the look the Klingons have on Star Trek (1966). Budget constraints prevented the extensive makeup the Klingons were supposed to have so Colicos suggested they have a leathery Genghis Khan look, dark skin and hair.
He also portrayed Lord Baltar in the original Battlestar Galactica movie and television series. Over a quarter-century after his initial appearance in the Star Trek franchise, Colicos reprised his role as the 140-year-old Kor in three episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, telecast between 1994 and 1998.[13]
I especially got a laugh about this :
Colicos was born in Toronto, Ontario, to a Greek father and a Canadian mother.[2] He was raised in Montreal. He made his acting debut playing Jesus in a Christmas pageant, later joking : "one of the first roles I ever played was the Son of God, and I've been going downhill ever since."[1]
A mix of guys like Perez, Lightle, Byrne, Cullins, Sienkiewicz, Art Adams, Kubert, Steacy and Bolland. As I recall, it also had an introduction by Stephen King! I liked those early 1980's anniversary issues because they often had not only a good representation of the current hot artists, but also had old-school Silver-Age greats like Kubert, Murphy Anderson, Curt Swan, Gil Kane and Infantino.
That captionless back cover is almost suitable for framing!
Another of my favorites that definitely ran the spectrum was DETECTIVE 500. The first story, "To Kill a Legend" by Allan Brennert and Dick Giordano made it into THE GREATEST BATMAN STORIES EVER TOLD. Published in 1981, DETECTIVE 500 was among the first of the great "artist jam" issues. Jim Aparo, Infantino, Simonson... great stuff.
I mentioned this BRAVE AND THE BOLD 176 cover by Michael Kaluta earlier. I know Kaluta had just been fired in 1974 from his bi-monthly run on THE SHADOW, for his inability to produce that series on time even once after the first issue, and therefore would never have been picked to do another bi-monthly series on SWAMP THING.
But man... how great would it have been to have even a single full issue of SWAMP THING by Kaluta?
This cover gives us some idea of what might have been...
There has not been 21 trillion in investment from which to recoup these dollars, assbrain.
You still provide ZERO facts to support that allegation. Shithead. These nations and corporations have publicly pledged that $21 trillion of investment to Trump to build those factories, AI tecnology, power plants and oher infrasructure.
It's the internet, turd brain. Don't flatter yourself worth the effort or prison time to kill. I assume you'll drop dead from exhaustion after just a few more years of politics rage and wanking it to girls of questionable age for Jesus.
Your hate-filled obsession with me since 2011 is abundant evidence of your clear mental illness. And your further new obsession to the level of telling me to die in every post makes anyone reading your posts wonder just how deep your mental pathology goes.
WB I already acknowledged that she had a reputation a while back. You’re upset because I’m also pointing out that in the last decade plus she simply isn’t that anymore. She works for a company that forces biased programming. And there hasn’t been any reporting by her that resembles her old reporting when it comes to the Trump administration. Trump loves being interviewed by her because it’s a safe space.
The extensive Wikipedia link I posted ( from a partisan LIBERAL source, that STILL acknowledges her winning DECADES of the highest honors for investigative journalism, FOR DECADES, from conservative and liberal news organizations, on several occasions from both sides in the same years), PROVE the lie of what you're trying to allege. She has been, and remains, a highly respected journalist. Likewise John Stossel, Glenn Greenwald, Lara Logan, John Solomon, Michael Schellenberger, and a number of other award-winning, and even Pulitzer-winning journalists, who you slander without facts as "partisan".
She relentlessly criticizes the mainstream media, with HUNDREDS of cited and sourced examples as abandoning journalism standards, that have become since about 2000, and increasingly since 2008, "new journalism" that is one-sided Democrat propaganda, who think it is their holy mission to prop up Democrats and help them win elections, and crush Republicans, rather than just report the facts and practice objective journalism that holds both sides to the same standard.
