Biden not only authorized spending the final 7 billion allocated for the rat hole of Ukraine (a gift to military-industrial complex donors), he authorized the launching of ATACMS missiles from Ukraine deep into Russian territory.

This has (rightfully IMO) provoked Russia to re-evaluate their nuclear use protocols. Putin announced that if a nuclear armed country assists a non-nuclear armed country in attacking the Russian homeland, they will consider it an act of war by the assisting country. Response to this goes up as high as nuclear weapons used on the homeland of the assisting country. We are stupid to assume we could fight a proxy war against Russia and be shielded by consequences by the Atlantic ocean.

It sickens me to hear the Normie take on this that is spreading through MSM and channels like TikTok. "Oh, Putin is threatening nuclear war! What a madman!" Frankly, Putin has shown remarkable restraint up until now, and Americans sleepwalked their way into being today closer to nuclear war with Russia than even during the Cuban Missile Crisis!

About that... the Normie populist take on the Cuban Missile Crisis is that "Kennedy faced down Khrushchev, and Khrushchev blinked! LOL" What few Americans know is that America had placed Jupiter missiles aimed at Russia in Turkey and Italy, and orchestrated and funded a campaign of sabotage and terrorism using Cuban expatriates to try to control and overthrow the government of Cuba. Khrushchev didn't so much blink as demand that America remove the missiles in Turkey and Italy for Russia to remove its missiles from Cuba.

No one lives forever, so try things. Make mistakes. Experience joy and create stories.

I see too many guys afraid to live. That's not me.

I agree but with caveats. First off, like Typo above I'm personally not into the sex party and orgy scene, but I do take a "Whatever creams your twinkie!" stance if that's what others want to do.

What I will offer to this convo was my own "Red Pilling too close to the sun" experience. After decades as an AFC who had pedestalized women, using Red Pill knowledge I hit a real stride in my upper 40s. Started seeing multiple women on the side while having a really nice and intelligent (but not very hot body wise) main GF.

There came the day when I was leaving my work for a day trip with a plate. My main GF came pulling in my parking lot and saw us. I went over and had a brief convo wherein she rightfully broke up with me on the spot. I'll never forget how absolutely crushed she looked. Like a proper Chad, I went through with the day trip as planned with the plate, playing the interruption off like it was nothing. But, after that day was over, I ended up letting all the plates drop haphazardly and really thought through my ideals and intentions.

In retrospect years later now, yes it was a blast while it lasted. I really did make up for lost time and fucking during all those AFC decades, and sowed the FUCK out of my wild oats before getting "too old" for wild sex games. But, my love life from that point forward was much more calm, rational, and I will say, sane.

Current event in Amsterdam. Israeli football fans went on a rampage around the city Saturday night, tearing down Palestinian flags, attacking middle eastern looking men, disrupting a moment of silence, and marching through the streets chanting, "no more schools in Palestine, because there are no more children left". Several news outlets redacted or took down their reports about the incident, most notably Sky News, whose editor also works for the Jewish Chronicle. The reports that went up in place of the originals portrayed the Israelis as victims of mob violence, when they were in fact the original instigators. News outlets reportedly offered on air retractions and apologies over their original reports even though these were accurate.

The live report of a 14yo Dutch Vlogger is one of the few reports on the incident still online in its original form critical of the Israeli hooligans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySHIOYyJ95A

My former colleague Elaine Kamarck, now of Brookings Institute, was on NPR saying that abortion just didn’t play as big an issue as people thought. It’s not that women didn’t care about it. It just wasn’t as salient.

Yeah, when everything is ridiculously fucking expensive and wages haven't kept up, baby murder takes a back seat.

With Walz, you’ve got the first public school teacher to run for high office, who is also a coach. I mean, if you’re ever going to have a ticket that could speak to men, for the love of God, it was this one.

This tells me that this dude is a fucking idiot, and his institute is probably similar to the Good Man Project. How to be a better slave to women.

Walz is about as masculine as Richard Simmons.

But they could have said: “There are so many progressive young women who are worried about the mental health of their boyfriend or brother. There are so many progressive women who wanted a party that would support their reproductive rights and do a better job of educating their son.”

Men suffering, women most affected. That worked pretty well for Hillary in 2016.

Why didn’t Harris go on Rogan? Why would she not do that? I mean, literally, the biggest platform in the world.

Because she's a fucking idiot who was in way over her head, and would have been even more exposed than she was in the Brett Baier interview and debates.
