Could we just brush up on history, please? Remember that the Soviet Union spent ten years trying to crush an Islamic insurgence in Afghanistan? That really ended well for them, didn’t it?
So, their Deciders think it will end up better for them because — of what, exactly? When you consider that the USA supported the Taliban in Afghanistan to the tune of more than 1 billion dollars when they were fighting Russia, do you want bet that Russia’s not been providing them a little under the table help, when they were shooting at the US? What goes around comes around. Afghanistan and Iraq are a slippery slope to disaster for anybody foolish enough to attack them. The US military couldn’t even protect their own troops inside their own bases, and yet they went house to house helping one sect of Shiia kill another sect? When Americans can’t tell a Shia from a Sunni? Let alone one Shia from another! The civil war was going to take America down with it. The “New Way Forward” was just another name for deeper into the quagmire. Biden is the leader who can got them out of there, before it was too late?

Conflict gives meaning to the meaningless.Without opposition, identity collapses. So we build one. We draw lines on maps, then forget who drew them. Every tribe begins as fear, then calls itself culture.We love belonging because it saves us from thinking.It’s easier to chant …
- We Turned Horniness Into An IndustryLet me explain this slowly, because if you blinked for five minutes in June, you might’ve missed the moment humanity officially gave up pretending it had standards. An actress, Sydney Sweeney, famous, attractive, very online-adjacent, partnered with a men’s grooming company called Dr Squatch to release a limited-edition bar of soap. Five thousand bars. Eight dollars each. And the marketing hook, the thing that made …
- Smoke ScreensThe Epstein Files were supposed to be a revelation.A ledger of the powerful written in ink, not whispers.Promises were made. Promises were repeated.They claimed the truth would come out.The fog would lift.Transparency was the campaign slogan. Then the files arrived.And almost everything was blank.Pages upon pages covered in black boxes.Names, conversations, details, gone.Block after block of censorship.Critics call it about 90 percent redacted. That is …
