In #4 vxbush said: "My precious, the White House and the Supreme Courtses...they were our birthday presents. Nasty, fitlhy MAGAses! They stole them from us! They stole the preciouses. MAGAses! Thiefs! We hates them, my precious! We hates them FOREVER!" Great line by this writer about a silly story that has taken off. 

Sauron, Soros, what's the difference?

Lovely! I've never seen a wild owl in my neck of the woods. Ever. Lots of hawks, eagles, and a few other raptors, but no eagles.

Okay, yet another story where I go, "is this real, or is the the speaker simply delusional?"

RFK Jr. Revealed That a Parasitic Worm Ate Part of His Brain

Then why on earth did he run for president, knowing this? Of course, this could be the psyop from the Biden administration to get RFKJr to stop running.

I don't know if this link will work, but I hope so.  It's got the recording of this Michelle Kosinski, ex-CNN anchor, whose anti-Trump/MAGA rant has been discussed a lot lately, hither and yon.  

The knee-jerk hostility is no surprise to me; even in my relatively-conservative congregation there are plenty of blind-but-vocal Trump-haters.  What I find astonishing is that this former-CNN personality has the nasty, spiteful, nasal voice (not to mention general locution and vocabulary) that is reminiscent of nothing so much as what we used to call a "pissy ['piss-elegant'] bar queen."  Same vocabulary, same intonation, same utter surety with nothing behind it.

I tried to share that earlier this week. This is the chick who was upset with dining with MAGA people who "looked normal", right? (Sorry, sneaking in to comment and buried at the moment. Trying to be good and make this quick.)

Yep, that's the one; I thought I recalled you posting it, but when I ran across a link I was too lazy to make sure.  

The mere transcript of her words does not do them justice; it's That Voice---that snotty-male-queen voice---that really gives them their full flavor.

Corruption pervades the UN from top to bottom.

Not long ago, I had a conversation with a lawyer who worked for the UN for a while, and then left in disgust.  He basically said, "you don't even want to know what goes on there", in terms of procurement in particular.

And it's darkly comical to have UNWRA, in particular, stealing relief supplies from the pure, noble, perpetual-victim Palestinians.

The argument could be made that the Palestinians should be used to it by now, as any aid shipment sent to them has a portion diverted to either UNRWA staff or Hamas leadership. This could simply be par for the course.

One hopes the Israelis have some undercover proxy buyers with truly excellent cover.
