Catturd makes a good point…
If you don't support us fracking, drilling, and opening up all pipelines so we don't have to buy oil from Putin – you're the Putin puppet.
If you support a green energy solution where we still have to buy our oil from Putin – you're the Putin puppet.
Welcome to reality.

Headline of the day – Projection from a senile old fart
Joe Biden says delusional Americans are imagining inflation
I hope he stays with that theme in his state of the union.
The clergy should stay out of politics and not involve themselves in liberal cult religions. How do you burn any remaining credibility the Catholic Church once had? Like this…
And now for something completely different…

Michael Walsh has a great article on western liberal delusion as exposed by real world events.
‘Events, Dear Boy, Events’
“…just like that, Covid hysteria has suddenly receded, the manifest limitations of “green energy” have revealed themselves, and “gun control” suddenly doesn’t seem so urgent in light of plucky little Ukraine’s citizen-soldiers. Inflation is soaring, pocketbook issues are back on the table, and the outbreak of a real shooting war in the Ukraine , in which people are fighting and dying, has suddenly yanked the word “catastrophic” back from the realm of mental illness and into reality. As the late British prime minister Harold Macmillan is supposed to have replied when asked what was his greatest challenge: “Events, dear boy, events.”
Amazing what happens when reality bites. The small stuff, the transient concerns, the self-indulgence in lunacy and cultural suicide suddenly slips away, revealing bedrock truths beneath. The prolonged propaganda assault by the national media, led by the unabashedly racialist New York Times, on the traditions and institutions of this country has screeched to a halt as people stare in disbelief at supermarket receipts and gas pump prices and watch the shelling of Kiev on their televisions. Perhaps now words like “assault” and “hostile environment” won’t be thrown around with such gay abandon:
Volunteer fighters armed with assault rifles patrolled central Kyiv on Friday, ready to defend their country.

So much for the dreaded “assault” rifles, which now seem to have some usefulness after all. Note as well that these “assault” rifles aren’t firing themselves, but are instead wielded by responsible adults in an actual hostile environment in defense of their lives, their families, and their homelands—exactly the conditions under which the Congress and the several states ratified the second amendment.
Vladimir Putin’s aims have been clear for decades to anyone who knew anything about Russian history. Raised in the Soviet Union, he regarded the collapse of his country as a great tragedy, but he is not trying to restore anything like the U.S.S.R. Rather, his ambition is to reanimate the Rodina of Tsar Alexander, the scourge of Napoleon who also played a large part in the formation of modern Europe at the Congress of Vienna. To that end, he has cemented an alliance with the Russian Orthodox Church—the historic soul and animating spirit of the country—which forms, along with the coterie of gangsters that emerged from the ruins of the KGB, his power base.
He’s long had his eyes on Kiev, in many ways the heart of Mother Russia but unfortunately for him occupied by his Slavic cousins, the Ukrainians who, having experienced the Soviet Union, have little desire to re-unite. Like Poland, Ukraine lives in a bad neighborhood between two ugly neighbors, Germany and Russia , one in which the borders keep switching around. But the foolish American notion of pushing the moribund corpse of NATO eastward, into Albania, Bulgaria, and the Baltics has been seen by Putin and the Russians as both a humiliation and a provocation.
“Climate change,” too, has been back-benched for a while. Not a peep out of the usual suspects complaining about all the carbon emissions from the land and air power unleashed on the Ukraine by Putin and the sorry shambles of the once-formidable Red Army as their genuine assault on a neighboring sovereign nation has seemed to sputter. But never fear, intrepid eco-warriors such as John “Mr. 16 Weeks in Nam” Kerry, who racked up more medals-per-hour than Audie Murphy, are here to keep the focus where it belongs:

And to think that this man was almost president of the United States. Then again, an even bigger fool currently sits in the Oval Office. Like Kerry, Joe Biden is a lifelong government functionary with no real-world experience but a huge chip on his shoulder over what he perceives as non-recognition of his genius. Biden is that Irish archetype, the braggart on the far barstool mouthing off and trying to provoke the real men of the community into taking a poke at him. The more they ignore him, the angrier he gets. Until reality slaps him in the face…”
Liberal “thought leader.”
What if I told you Europe is not a continent by defintion, but a geopolitical fiction to separate it from Asia and so the alarm about a European, or civilized, or First World nation being invaded is a dog whistle to tell us we should care because they are like us.

All race, all grievance, all the time. Exhausting stupidity in the age of woke stupidity.
This is a good development. Liberal politics as practiced by US media should not be a factor in decisions relating to the sex of minor children. It is amazing and sad that I need to even say that.
The garbage media have ignored and misreported this story for years now, praying it would go away.

The Ukrainians are smart and tough – Play the UN like a fiddle.
America Breaks With Ukraine Over Russia’s Standing at the United Nations
“…The Ukrainians are arguing that, in actuality, the United Nations Charter — the foundational treaty of the world body — does not list Russia as a member of either the Security Council or any other part of the UN. The membership of the Security Council is listed in the treaty’s article 23. It says:
“The Security Council shall consist of fifteen Members of the United Nations. The Republic of China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America shall be permanent members of the Security Council.”
No resolution to change that was passed in 1991, when the USSR collapsed and Russia, in a letter to the UN secretary general, claimed the USSR’s security council seat, which is precisely the point Ukraine is making. . . . The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was a confederation of 15 countries. During its existence only Ukraine and Belarus voted independently of the Soviet Union. USSR members that are now independent countries — including the Baltic states that are now members of NATO — might have as much of a claim as Russia to the USSR’s permanent seat.
Ambassador Thomas Greenfield’s error as to what the charter says stands in sharp contrast to the written record pointed out by Ambassador Kyslytsya. He pointed out the language of the charter in an open meeting of the Security Council Thursday, when Ms. Thomas Greenfield was present.
America’s resistance to that interpretation of the charter is especially curious as countries around the globe — inspired by the bravery of the Ukrainian people and their president, Volodymyr Zelensky — play catch-up in the effort to increase diplomatic and economic pressure on Russia.
The Security Council is due to gather this afternoon to take to the General Assembly an American resolution that Russia vetoed late last week. In the Assembly, which includes all 193 UN members, no country has a veto power. None of its resolutions, however, can be enforced. Unlike Security Council resolutions, Assembly votes are mostly toothless declarations…”
How do you know Democrats’ internal polling on Covid is bad? This is how…
Trump owns the Republican Party. Nobody is even close. The never-Trump paleo-Republicans on liberal media are whistling in the wind.
Meanwhile, the feckless liberal bureaucracy in Washington issues stupid, meaningless drivel to keep you safe.

Putin has lost surprise and momentum. NATO, EU, US finally get it together. Time is on the side of the Ukrainians now and works against Putin.
US locks down Russian central bank, sovereign fund assets
The ruble crashes, the stock market closes, and Russia’s economy staggers
Putin finds himself isolated, out of touch as invasion sputters
Moral of Putin’s troops is low. The cause for which they fight, conquest by aggression of another country, is bad. The Ukrainians were prepared for them and are putting up a stiff fight.
The first one says the truth: “No one wanted to come. But they told us, it’s war time, you’ll be the enemy of people. So we went – demoralized and unwilling. Like cannon fodder”. The others seem to agree. #RussiaGoHome #StandWithUkraine pic.twitter.com/Z6tnCVJyv3

Never forget what the jerkoffs in the White House told America in December 2021. They tried to divide the country and pit vax versus unvax at the threat of Covid death. This, plus their disastrous handling of the border, Afghanistan, inflation, school parents, and now Ukraine/Russia is why Biden’s polls are in the toilet.

“…Just when you think Joe Biden can’t possibly say anything more ridiculous than the last time, he proves you wrong. Lesson: Never underestimate our intrepid president and his ability to stoop to new lows of silliness, causing you to spit your liquid refreshment all over your computer screen. Or wherever. No, really.
The latest hysterical case in point, which was posted to Twitter on Saturday by our friends at the Republican National Committee, speaks for itself, but I can’t stop myself from transcribing the damn thing.
Ready? This — with a Barney Fife-like straight face, mind you:
There’s a phenomenal negative psychological impact that COVID has had [COVID! Of course!] on the public psyche. And so you have an awful lot of people who are, notwithstanding the fact that things have gotten so better for them economically, uh, that they are thinking, but, how do you get up in the morning feeling happy? Happy that everything’s alright…”
ABC Poll: Biden approval 37%
Economic concerns hurt Biden’s approval, keep Democrats in peril ahead of midterms: POLL
“…The result: A career-low 37% of Americans approve of Biden’s job performance overall, with 55% disapproving. That includes just 30% approval among political independents and 10% from Republicans. Even in his own party, nearly a quarter of Democrats either disapprove of Biden (19%) or are withholding judgment (4%)…”
