Oh, look. Hell has a new resident.

They labeled their article ‘exclusive’.. 

In the old journalistic standard, that means that they, and only they, have the story, and or expelling it from their typewriters and computer keyboards to the planet that would read it.

 The only problem is, zero hedge, reported the same story back in October relying on the report that was published in September…

A drop in the bucket!

What is a proxy war in simple terms?

A proxy war occurs when a major power instigates or plays a major role in supporting and directing a party to a conflict but does only a small portion of the actual fighting itself.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a virtual address that reconstruction of his country is a "common task of the entire democratic world — all countries, all countries who can say they are civilized." He added, "We are uniting the democratic world...The outlook of free people always prevails."

Nope! Sorry, you lose.

Interestingly, part of that plan is to utilized seized Russian assets, as RFE/RL writes of Shmygal's words, "Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said on July 4 at the start of the two-day Ukraine Recovery Conference in Lugano, Switzerland, that Kyiv believes a substantial source of funding for the recovery should come through assets confiscated from Russian oligarchs, which he estimated at $300 billion to $500 billion."

That's like taking away Bill Gates's billions. Even though we like to but is it legal?

No one is on Ukraine's side.

Thank you for the ask!

 Whiny grandparent gamers ( gamers who are stuck in nostalgia) rejoice as you have carpal tunnel-handedly caused  Bioware Montreal to suspend operations on Mass Effect: Andromeda. Sure, the facial animations were cartoonish but they have now been fixed. The recent 1.09 patch released fixing several issues but because you prehistoric players wanted their old Shepard back, investors may have pulled possible funding for future projects in the series. Thanks a lot.

The White House’s “new media” squad is clinging to yet another conspiracy theory. During a press briefing Monday, Liam Cosgrove, a reporter for the far-right blog ZeroHedge, asked press secretary Karoline Leavitt to address a theory claiming that a number of deaths were secretly linked to Bill and Hillary Clinton.  “Trump posted to Truth Social a video highlighting what most people call the ‘Clinton body count,’” he said.

Doubling down, Cosgrove said that there was a “strange number of suicides that seem to happen in circles" surrounding the Clinton family. He then pointed to President Donald Trump's erratic Truth Social behavior over the weekend, when he posted a video captioned, “THE VIDEO HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE,” linking her to the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. To make matters worse, Cosgrove also confidently called the death of Jeffrey Epstein the "most famous Clinton-related death" before asking when more of the Epstein Files would be released.

Even though officials have stated that recent reports of unidentified drone sightings were mostly innocuous “commercial drones” or “even stars that were mistakenly reported as drones,” right-wing media figures have peddled conspiracy theories alleging the sightings indicated some sort of nefarious activity. While some have pushed wild claims about a supposed “dirty bomb” missing in New Jersey and alien UFOs coming to Earth, others have baselessly alleged various government conspiracy theories, including a “psyop” to hinder Trump's forthcoming presidency, a fake alien invasion, or a power grab. 

I tried to warn the Trumperoos that he would eff everything up. No one listened. No one cared. I had to leave several Locals pages because the retardation of the smoothbrains and their inability to have an intelligent discussion about the shortcomings of The Golden Golem Formerly From Gotham.

How efftarded do you have to be to make a transhumanist twice-divorced megalomaniac with at least 12 children by at least three women look like the adult in the room? Well, TGGFFG has managed to make it happen with his One Big Beautiful Bill.

So TGGFFG campaigns on a platform of cutting federal spending, reducing federal waste and shrinking government.

$5 Trillion in NEW deficit spending? FAIL

$1 Trillion Defense budget? FAIL

And this is not even touching how he bungled the tariff rollout.

Or the numerous foreign policy failures (Israel; Ukraine; Syria; Iran).

Enjoy your blue landslide in the midterms and the resulting endless string of subpoenas, hearings and impeachments that the Donkeys have already said will occur when they retake the House.

At this point, I would not be surprised if he lets the US get sucked into ANOTHER unwinnable foreign conflict (or two or three) in an effort to play the "support the majority party during wartime" card.

If I were VP Vance, I would make sure to keep my resume updated and my contacts at private equity and consulting shops current, as TGGFFG is turning what should be a walkover in 2028 to a Kamalalaladingdong-esq collapse. *INSERT CACKLE HERE*

And yet people still question why I washed my hands of the GOP years ago.

As the ZH article says in closing, "Needless to say, the GOP has quite the shitshow on its hands. Maybe next time enact the will of the people, bitchez."
