From Cats and Geese to Kissinger’s ‘World Order’

Is it true that Kamala Harris’s earrings at the debate were clip-on earbuds?

...

And whatabout the Haitians of Springfield, Ohio, eating cats and geese? Could be, but the most important thing is Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Rule 6: "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."

...

But I have more serious things to discuss today, given that our wise leaders are talking about sending long-range missiles to Ukraine.

...

The truth is Washington wants to take up Zelensky's proposals for deep strikes on Russian territory because Ukraine is losing the war and could be defeated even before the Presidential elections in November.

...

our rulers are out of ideas and losing control. That’s what Trump in 2016 means; that’s what the Bernie-to-Biden switcheroo in 2020 means; that’s what the Biden-to-Harris switcheroo meant in July. That’s what the three-against-one debate on September 10 was all about. Our rulers are desperately trying to hold their regime together as it crumbles into dust.

...

Kissinger tells us that, far from One World Order, we must understand that today’s diplomats must negotiate between four foundation narratives.

...

Islam divided the world order into a world of peace, that of Islam, and a world of war, inhabited by unbelievers… Islam could achieve the theoretical fulfillment of world order only by conquest or global proselytization

The Left (including the Democrats and the media) believes the truth and reality are what you want them to be. Ergo, their lies aren’t lies...they are alternative realities.;-)

Great read. Interesting. Thanks for sharing it. Partitioning the world that way makes sense.

But the best takeaway for me is the accompanying photograph of Kamala "on the run":

The truth is that both Ukraine and Russia are losing, suffering casualties that will leave both countries depleted if not crippled. Barring a lucky turn of the cards, the most likely result is a cease fire and an interim negotiated settlement that mostly recognizes current territorial lines, pending further developments.

After that, Russia will continue to have a hard time due to the effects of sanctions, demographic decline, a lack of access to foreign technology and capital, and the dead weight of Putin's dismal autocratic rule. With access to reconstruction funds and Western markets and investment capital, Ukraine will recover as Russia stagnates.

As for the larger issue of how to order the modern world, I am an America First type but not an isolationist. I like the idea of America with tight borders, a big military, and keeping a firm foot on the people who run the world's many festering dung heaps.

It seems to me that Biden’s handlers know that Zelensky has dirt on Biden that could put him in jail, so they keep him happy with gifts of money and munitions. How can Garland agree not to sentence him because “he’s a kind old man with dimentia”? The old saying is NOT: “If you do the crime, you pay the time...unless your an old idiot.”
