@Oilfield_Rando This is solely Trump's political genius at work. And it's been successful. The libs are all howling mad and screaming about how they knew it was Russian collusion all along and 90% of the American electorate is distracted from the unresolved Iran situation.

[Mark Winston @MalacandraHome]

@Oilfield_Rando His math checks though. This is just bullshit Midterm politics. What Putin promised Trump for a month is much less than we use in the US in ONE DAY, and is less significant to diesel price than if Iran has hit an oil tanker last week or not.

@shagbark_hick People said the same thing when radio became ubiquitous, and insisted on it even more strongly once there was a TV (or two) in every home. And while it's true in a certain sense, rural areas will always have their own uniqueness.

And this "Russian Deal" is an insignificant drop in the bucket, the US uses 500,000 tons a DAY. However , a limit, or cap, on the export of strategic American natural resources would resolve the issue in weeks.

American distillate production is currently at one of the highest rates ever. The reason that diesel is high is due to the fact that American producers are selling their product in the international market, which creates a shortfall here ar home. We don't need foreign diesel...

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

BREAKING: President Trump just announced that he has made a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to immediately supply 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the United States.

An additional 3+ million tons of diesel will arrive in the months following.

Many American and European drones provided to Ukrainian units continue to fail or perform poorly. The same drones are being procured by NATO militaries. The companies that are succeeding have developed strong relationships with elite Ukrainian units and respond quickly to the feedback from Ukrainian operators. They benefit from Ukrainian expertise and the rapid innovation cycle in Ukraine. Battlefield performance in Ukraine should be one of the primary factors for future procurement choices by NATO militaries.

@Empty_America It's the only way the engineer can sign off on it. A certain size concrete block with a certain size rebar at the specified interval is a known quantity. Yes, a skilled stone mason could match it, but the only way to prove it is to wait a hundred years and a seismic event.

[Mark Winston @MalacandraHome]

@shagbark_hick Agree with this point, it is self interested nihilism. Idiocy on par with saying that agricultural production accounts for only a small part of the GDP so we should allocate water resources all to Data centers and golf courses.

[Mark Winston @MalacandraHome]

A convincing case. But it's doubtful that it will gain traction due to ideological reasons.

Another example of this would be the fact that the Muslim brotherhood is banned in more Arab countries than Western countries.
The liberal worldview is so divorced from reality that there is no category for Islam in it.

[Mark Winston @MalacandraHome]

The reason is that Egypt is a Muslim nation and Israel is a liberal Democracy.
Egyptians have read the Koran and understand how dangerous "palestinians" are, while, despite the evidence, it's by nature impossible for a liberal democracy like Israel to take the threat seriously.

[𝐍𝐢𝐨𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠 🇮🇷 ✡︎ @NiohBerg]

One thing that always stuck with me after 07/10 was how Israel had a tiny little useless fence that was so easily breached.

Meanwhile Egypt's border with Gaza looks like it's holding back a zombie apocalypse.

Why didn't Israel care more to secure its border?

@WassonWatch They have no clue what the Reformation was, and view it as an evolutionary step (the first step) in the dissolution of the Church as a political force in society. So when they say "Islam will experience Reformation" they mean a rather different thing than what a Protestant means.

[Mark Winston @MalacandraHome]

@WassonWatch Not quite. Secularists don't believe that ANY religion is real, and think if we import jihadists, they'll apostasize as soon as they discover that there's a Starbucks on every corner, and Islam will become what they view all religions as, a feel good "true for you" type of thing.

@LaocoonofTroy All of human history has been endless cycles of wars, the post World War I and then post World War II hubris about the "end of war" is the nonsensical anomaly.

@HansFiene tryst was found out a few months after the wedding, or just convicted and granted leniency due to the fact that they were now married? Shocked? There was a time in Christiandom when there was a thing called marriage and not whatever horse shit you just came up with.

[Mark Winston @MalacandraHome]

@HansFiene In Martin Luther's day (1530's) wrote of a young (unmarried) couple who let their passions get the better of them on a garden walk. But the young man was honorable, and had every intention of marrying the girl, and they were married. Should they be executed for adultery when the

And yet another case where everyone should have known this, The media referring to them only as "Cornell Frat Boys", and the fact that they were not immediately doxxed on social media is what is referred to as an obvious tell.

[Eric S. Raymond @esrtweet]

Dark humor alert...

Comes the word that the one person who most clearly behaved badly in the Cornell gangbang - slapping and bruising the woman, sending the "free pussy" text - has an identity that's going to make life interesting for the people potentially most interested in blowing it up into a major rape case and politicizing it.

He's Black. And at least four of the other seven are non-white. Which is going to make for some interesting infighting among the gay race communists. Which faction will win?

Could be the race-communist BLM types. You'll know they are winning if Left discourse about the incident starts to be dominated by cries of RAAAAACISM! If it goes this way, Letitia James will be instructed to drop the prosecution and slink back to her kennel like a good attack dog. After which the mainstream press will memory-hole everything.

Or it could be the gays and feminists. For them, the free-pussy-poster's sacred Blackness is overridden by his possession of a penis with intent to put it in a vagina. If they win, it's full speed ahead for Letitia, and the press will dutifully suppress every detail that reminds people those boys aren't white or white-adjacent children of privilege and probable Trump voters.

Forced to guess, I think the gays and feminists will probably win this one. Because the Democratic National Committee is also a player, and I'm certain it wants a juicy men-are-pigs scandal to get the AWFLs all hot and bothered for the midterms. Pussy-poster is just going to have to take one for the team.

The truth of what happened will of course not be interesting to either faction. Politics - it ain't beanbag.
