Now seems like a good time to remind people that a bit over ten years ago, China compromised a network of CIA sources, hunted them down, and executed them.

Inside the CIA’s armed operations in Mexico:
The CIA enlisted a Chihuahua state prosecutor under investigation by the FBI for his suspected cartel ties. He embedded CIA officers with state police—and got his revoked U.S. visa back.
The CIA sought to build a Mexican special forces unit in Chihuahua state
CIA officers helped plan Mexican police deployments, and provided rifle cover during one raid.
Masked Americans joined a meth-lab raid. Two CIA officers later died in a cliffside crash, exposing the mission.

Miller Lite is $5.50 per pint and wing “specials” are a dozen wings for $27.99. It’s just financially not worth it anymore.

Germany is recycling the Judeo-Bolshevik myth, which fueled the Nazi's rise to power and their genocides against Jews and the Soviet Union. Once again, they are stoking fears of a supposed fifth column—only this time, it consists of leftists and Muslims.

western supremacism is so pervasive that white ppl still think it’s up to them to dictate terms even after losing a war they started based on lies they told themselves in the first place
Any credible nuclear deal must include Iran’s binding commitment to:
1) Full recovery of all 9,000+ kg of enriched uranium (including 440 kg of HEU) by the U.S., IAEA, or an international team.
2) Destruction of the stocks or access limited strictly to civilian nuclear fuel rods.
3) Permanent ban on uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing.
4) Full, permanent dismantlement/export/destruction of enrichment and reprocessing infrastructure, centrifuges, and manufacturing capabilities.
5) Complete, accurate declaration of the entire program, including past weaponization work, plus verified termination and IAEA verification of completeness.
6) Full restoration of IAEA access with “anywhere, anytime” inspections (including at military sites) and access to people, equipment, and documents.
NB: Any deal involving sanctions relief and removal of the blockade will undercut efforts to help the Iranian people overthrow their oppressors and contain Tehran's regional malign actions.

When America talks about democracy, remember its record: from dictators like Iran’s Shah and Chile’s Pinochet to military juntas, Gulf monarchies, and, more recently, former al-Qaeda affiliates in power in Syria, Washington has repeatedly embraced governments that serve its interests.

George Floyd was a drug addled violent criminal hobo who died of a drug overdose and then was venerated as a literal saint while leftists burned down entire city blocks in revenge. Charlie Kirk was a political commentator who never committed any crimes and was gunned down on camera while speaking peacefully in front of an audience, and nobody responded by rioting or committing any acts of violence or reprisals anywhere at all. So, no, joking about George Floyd is not the same as joking about Charlie Kirk. The two men, and the circumstances around their deaths, and the subsequent reactions, have no resemblance at all. There is no comparison except that they both died, and that's it. Anyone trying to draw this moral equivalency is lying or stupid or both. And any conservative claiming that we have to tolerate the Charlie jokes because we criticized George Floyd is a submissive cucked shill and should be disregarded on this issue and every other.

~200 Ohioans have now complained to the AG's office that gas stations are reaping that money, not drivers

Vonnegut's criticism of American POWs reminds me of that scene in The Sopranos where the Russian woman tells Tony that Americans expect nothing bad to ever happen to them (while the rest of the world expects only bad and isn’t disappointed) and that they have everything yet still complain.
This attitude of automatic expectation of good fortune in all things—which most people who grow up in the U.S. take as some sort of birthright—probably goes the furthest toward explaining why so many Americans seem to crack so easily when they experience the slightest setback or misfortune.
It's a way of looking at life that few throughout the rest of the world could probably even comprehend.
In German POW camps in WWII (where Vonnegut himself was held), Americans were the dirtiest and most demoralized. They stopped brushing their teeth and washing, developed running sores and diseases that prisoners from other nations largely avoided, and “became totally demoralized.”
His explanation: Americans “cannot stand to lose.” Their upbringing (especially mothers telling them “you can do it,” “go out there and win,” and dismissing doubts) creates a win-or-quit mindset.
They make good soldiers while winning, but “something in them collapses” in defeat. Losing feels like they can’t go home again.
