Wang Jin-pyng says not to abandon “the opportunity for people on both sides to jointly pursue the well-being of the Chinese nation,” and respect the separate jurisdictions across the Strait. If world peace really hinges on, as many claim, what happens across the Taiwan Strait, you’ll have to bear with me for more posts on Continue reading »

Can I be vulnerable with you for a second? I always believed we’d get back together.

Smallpox thought I was nuts. He kept telling me, “You’re delusional, bro.”

Rinderpest was similarly down about it. “They literally eradicated you.” I’m like, maybe look in the mirror when you say shit like that? Because I might be down, but I am not out.

And every time I talked about my comeback, Dracunculiasis rolled her eyes at me. “They all but wiped you out, man. It was one of the great successes of twentieth-century medicine.”

That was hard to hear. But I held on. I believe in manifesting. And I know you: You’re always saying that you’re over stuff that you aren’t REALLY over. You revive every franchise, and you reboot all your television shows. You “quit” social media. Look at high-rise jeans. And also low-rise jeans. Pretty much every rise of jeans. You count them out, and then—bam—just when you’ve finally cleaned them out of your closet, they’re back in fashion again. That’s why, despite everything, I’ve stayed optimistic.

The UR Rule Of Civilizations Worth Living In

I saw this rather revealing tweet recently:

Andreessen, if you don’t know, made his money during the dot-com boom, at Mozilla. He then formed a venture capital firm, Andreessen-Horowitz.

Now what’s interesting about this tweet is the word “guilt.”

Andreessen doesn’t want to feel guilt. He doesn’t like the idea that one should run society to try and do the most good for the most people.

Om man i en demokrati skall överlåta viktiga beslut till experter bör detta bygga på att det faktiskt existerar en någorlunda säkerställd kunskap hos den kår av experter som skall fatta besluten. När det gäller penningpolitiken visar den omfattande debatten inom ekonomkåren att så inte är fallet. Man kan jämföra det rådande kunskapsläget inom penningpolitiken […]

Footage showing CNN’s regime change-crazed correspondent supposedly freeing a forgotten prisoner from a Syrian jail has been exposed a scandalous fraud, yet the network continues to re-air it, while defending its correspondent. “In nearly twenty years as a journalist, this was one of the most extraordinary moments I have witnessed.” That’s how veteran CNN journalist Clarissa Ward described her foray into a Syrian prison on December 12, where she promptly claimed to have rescued a forgotten inmate after three months […]

The post Scandal deepens around CNN’s Clarissa Ward staging Syria prison scene first appeared on The Grayzone.

Don’t say they weren’t warned. Honolulu Civil Beat reports: A former member of a secretive Hawaiʻi religious sect is warning members of Congress about the potential dangers of confirming Tulsi Gabbard as President-elect Donald Trump’s next director of national intelligence. Anita van Duyn says she spent 15 years inside the Science of Identity Foundation, a fringe offshoot of Hare Krishna that was formed in the 1970s and has been described by defectors as a cult. She has sent the letters only to Democrats so far, so I don’t know how effective that will be. And as the article acknowledges, Senators are loathe to criticize anyone for their religious beliefs(well, unless the person is a Democrat in which all bets are off.) Most DC types seem to think they should really go near this issue. But Gabbard hasn’t been nominated to be the head of Housing and Urban Development she’s been tapped to be the head of all the Intelligence Agencies and she’s a lifelong member of a cult!
