"I am not sure why she seems to have wings on her name tag."

She has wings on her name tag because she is a pilot. No?

So that guy in Argentina was legit. Cut a shit-ton out of the government so far, causing communist protests. Also, pulled Argentina out of BRICS..

💉 A story in four headlines. How it ended!




How it started (February 2022):




How it’s even more ironic than it looks:




As you consider that headline, you might also want to know the LA Times is owned by a person who is a minority, Patrick Soon-Shiong, an American of Asian descent, who also happens to be a billionaire.

Still, Soon-Shiong probably still the victim of systemic racism, as the headline suggests. He should be even more of a billionaire, or something.

Anyway, the irony runs even deeper than those three headlines suggest. Soon-Shiong made his billions in vaccines, and now the stock in his company ImmunityBio (IBRX) is tanking, which probably explains why the liberal billionaire hesitates to dump more millions into the vanity-project-slash-dumpster fire called the ‘LA Times.’ Headline from yesterday’s Investor Business Daily:




IBD pointed out that back on March 10th, 2021, Soon-Shiong’s personal stake in ImmunityBio was valued at a whopping $11.3 billion. But that healthy valuation has dwindled down to a meagre $1 billion. In other words, he’s about to fall out of the billionaire club. Which might be why Soon-Shiong’s tightening his money belt.

You know, sometimes I wonder whether all our country’s problems are nothing that a little recession can’t fix.

Rockefeller’s interest in bankrolling Bible studies is a red flag. In the same grant round as The After Party is a group seeking to promote the “leadership of rural LGBTQ+ people.” Another is committed to “keeping the remaining fossil fuel resources in the ground” in the name of “climate justice.” In 2019, The After Party’s benefactor gave $100 million to the Collaborative for Gender and Reproductive Equity, an initiative that funds efforts to safeguard abortion and ensure “youth” have access to “gender-affirming care.” A full accounting of all Rockefeller grantees committed to furthering hard-left causes would require a book long enough to rival Alberta’s.

Rockefeller’s isn’t the only progressive purse with strings attached to The After Party. The project’s website lists One America Movement, an ecumenical group, as one of its partners. The group’s board includes the leader of an LGBTQ-affirming synagogue, as well as a co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York who excuses rioting as self-defense and has called Jesus a “black radical revolutionary.” One America has received over $2 million from some of the most powerful foundations on the left—such as the Tides Foundation, the Hewlett Foundation, the Walton family’s Catena Foundation, and the John Pritzker Family Fund—all of which fund enterprises promoting abortion, LGBTQ issues, and other left-wing priorities. The Hewlett Foundation, which also directly funds The After Party, is the second largest private donor to Planned Parenthood.

"I do not see how she could be an F-16 pilot since she just graduated the Air Force Academy in 2023. Pilot training takes a year, so she has not had time to earn her wings, let alone the follow-on months of training to qualify in a fighter. I did notice she rode in the back seat with the actual pilot up front."

Why pull out of BRICS?

What unites all of these things, is an elite political orientation that has almost totally abandoned the national context. Western nations today are controlled by a political class that claims to govern on behalf of the whole world rather than for their own people. Our rulers believe it is their responsibility to defend the rights and the prosperity of foreigners even to the extent of resettling them en masse in the West, to redress supposed imbalances in atmospheric gases across the globe, and to enforce their liberal beliefs everywhere. Because they have arrogated to themselves a scope of responsibility (the world) that massively exceeds their scope of accountability (their citizenries), they are forced to adopt a harsh programme of domestic political enforcement as they strive to free themselves from the constraints of their own nation states.
