Stone has a point: Oswald had multiple clean shots available to him as the motorcade proceeded on N Houston Street. Why wait for the foliage obstructed view on Elm Street?

Re: Woke Hollywood

I see that the Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic, two anti-woke YouTube film critics, have appeared on Piers Morgan. Not that I think Morgan is that special, but he has prominence. It’s a step up for Drinker and Nerdrotic … and their point of view.

There’s a rather giddy sense developing — a Vibe Shift as it were — that we are winning and Woke Hollywood is losing. Sure, Woke can keep doubling down, and they do, but after a while even Hollywood “runs out of other people’s money” i.e. paying customers. It’s happening.

Anyway. Here’s the usual link. In this episode Morgan et al. are discussing the last Oscars and noting how hard Our Betters were avoiding controversy. Almost contrite, if such a gracious term applies.

Copy & paste headline month after meatgrinding month: Zelensky Warns U.S. Congress: Meet Ukraine Military Aid Demands or Russia Wins

Count on Brain E to whine about the other part of support for Ukraine resisting Russian aggression, you know the rest of the country that Russia seeks to destroy away from the line of contact. He will and has bitched that F-16 weren’t the right planes but when Gripens are to be provided by Sweden, crickets. I don’t recall Brain E advocating more tubes or rounds, more SAMs and reloads, more Bradleys or engineering armored vehicles, nor more tanks. Nope with Brain E anything provided is too much and always the wrong thing. It all encourages Ukrainian resistance and delays Vlad’s first victory. Because Vlad most certainly must win. Just being realistic don’t you know.

“…funding for military stuff for Ukraine…?”

If that was all it is. Of the now $65 billion for Ukraine only about $15 billion is for military equipment/ammunition. $20 billion is to restock US reserves depleted by past shipments and the rest of the money is for other security measures and running the Ukraine government.

I wish the Republicans would force a compromise where we provide the $35 billion of military aid and let the EU come up with the rest for the Ukraine government. The EU will benefit long term from Ukraine being part of the EU.

Europe and the Democrats have been beating up Republicans for the last several months. The military funding should stabilize the front lines and slow/stop any Russia advances.

Will Boned Looser need new nappies if the funding for military stuff for Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel is approved by the House?

After all it is WWIII if those funds are approved, just ask Vlad.

I’m becomming concerned that the word Freedom in Freedom Caucus doesn’t mean what you might assume, sort of like the absence of justice in The Department of Justice.

Caroline Glick translates the (insane) Israeli Leftist’s claims: https://twitter.com/CarolineGlick/status/1777108775448510654?t=nH9dDAf_sbfP5m6JOHZ08w&s=19

Sheer fantasy driveling if you ask me, but that seems to be their modus operandi, which, go figure.
