Blast from the past. Remember when we were told that hospitals were overflowing with covid patients?

Yeah. Overflowing but how many vids did we see with staff dancing in the hallways....hospitals empty because they so cowed the entire Western world. Face folks. We were played. They partied while the country suffered. Is it any wonder we're seeing so many people have mental breakdowns today that expose themselves in weird behavior, violence, etc...?

How many remember this vid from Zelensky that was posted shortly after news of Polish farmers being killed by a missile?

 

I don't know if its hubris or emotionalism but Zelensky appears to have an agenda that extends past simply removing Russian troops from his soil. This was very unstatesman like behavior and the worst part is that he doubles down instead of walking it back even though his allies are calling bullshit. I'm not sure he's trying to start WW3 but I agree that he's gone from being a comedian to an international threat.

Poland will not invite Ukraine to co-host missile strike investigation

 This is telling!  via Defense News.

The Polish authorities will not ask Ukraine to co-host the investigation of the fatal missile strike in Poland’s south-east. Warsaw believes the strike was most likely caused by Ukrainian air defense attempting to intercept a missile fired by Russia, according to a senior Polish official.

“The information we have received from the Ukrainian side is of very significant importance to us. However, it is certain that Ukraine, just like any other country, will not be the co-host of the investigation, because this is our, Polish investigation,” Paweł Soloch, an adviser to Polish President Andrzej Duda, told local broadcaster Radio Plus in an interview.

Here 

So polite.

So diplomatic.

So telling.

Zelensky keeps overplaying his hand and at least the conservative part of the US political spectrum is beginning to smell bullshit with regard to his actions/views.

Video of Ukrainian troops committing war crimes...

I wonder if all the Ukraine fan boys will be outraged by this or hit us with a whataboutism. This is not our business. This is more akin to a civil war than something that should involve NATO and the United States. History will not cover us in glory for our support of Ukraine but instead will wonder what the fuck were we thinking!

Increasing U.S. exports of LNG are helping to drive up natural-gas prices, which means more Americans will struggle to pay for heating this winter

Elon Musk is simply culling the herd....Only the strong can survive...

 

Do you want an explanation of what is going on at Twitter? Then read this ENTIRE Twitter Thread. Its really business 101 and back in the 90's this was common practice when you saw hostile takeovers. It became bastardized when those hostile takeovers turned into flipping opportunities but when people saw a potentially good company that was underperforming this was the model to make it a star.

A football game claimed the life of a player. The unknown story of Jack Trice..

 


via Wikipedia

On October 6, 1923, Trice and his Iowa State College teammates played against the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. On the night of the game, Trice got to stay at the same hotel as his teammates who stayed at the Radisson Hotel, but he could not eat with them in the dining room.[4]

During the second play of the game, Trice's collarbone was broken. Trice insisted he was all right and returned to the game. In the third quarter, while attempting to tackle a University of Minnesota ball carrier, Trice ended up on his back after a roll block (a play which is now banned) and was trampled by three Minnesota players.[2] Although he claimed to be fine, Trice was not able to stand and was removed from the game and sent to a Minneapolis hospital. The doctors declared him fit to travel and he returned by train to Ames with his teammates. On October 8, 1923, Trice died from hemorrhaged lungs and internal bleeding as a result of the injuries sustained during the game.[2]

There was a great deal of speculation surrounding the play that resulted in Trice's death. Iowa State teammate Johnny Behm told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in a 1979 interview that "one person told me that nothing out of the ordinary happened. But another who saw it said it was murder."[5]

Iowa State dismissed all classes after 3 p.m. on October 9, 1923, in honor of Trice.[6]

Trice's funeral was held at the Iowa State College's central campus in Ames on October 16, 1923, with 4,000 students and faculty members in attendance. His casket was draped in cardinal and gold (Iowa State's school colors) before he was buried.[7] Trice's casket was transported to Hiram, Ohio for burial at Fairview Cemetery.

As a result of his death, Iowa State did not renew its contract to play against Minnesota for 66 years. The teams would not play again until 1989.[2]

 Saw this on ESPN during their late night broadcast.  Another story I had never heard.
