Blogsthe choice is clear: vote for the mug....Donald Trump’s recent mugshot, which has already become iconic among his supporters, has also helped his campaign raise a record-breaking sum, according to Politico. The Republican frontrunner faces a plethora of charges and turned himself in at the Fulton County jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday. On Saturday, the outlet reported that the former president had raised some $7.1 million since he had the photo taken by authorities. Politico quoted an anonymous source as saying that Trump’s campaign raked in $4.18 million on Friday alone – its single-highest 24-hour take to date. Shortly after the Fulton County’s Sheriff’s Office released the mugshot, the former president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., announced that he had launched a line of merchandise bearing the image and the tagline “NEVER SURRENDER!”.
the sleepy president is dozing off — and only wakes up to his bad dream....President Xi Jinping has called for China and Africa to join hands for modernization, and work together to create a favorable environment for realizing their respective development visions. Xi made the remarks late on Thursday while co-chairing the China-Africa Leaders' Dialogue with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in Johannesburg on the sidelines of the 15th BRICS Summit. Xi returned to China on Friday, wrapping up his five-day tour to South Africa. Addressing the meeting, Xi proposed concrete steps to promote China-Africa cooperation and contribute to Africa's integration and modernization.
unable to resist milking purported charities for personal and political gain.....On Monday, the Clinton family announced a new fundraising initiative within the framework of their Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), naming the Ukraine conflict among the gathering's main topics.

all the signs of being a failed democracy – failing but ever dangerous......Post 9/11 the US embarked on a series of wars to ‘make the world safe’ and more importantly settle old and new scores. The consequences – death and devastation – across much of the globe. It may not equal the impact of the 20th century’s two world wars, but they make Europe’s 17th century 30 Years War look like a skirmish.
All in all the US has been at war for 228 years of the 247 years since its formation in 1776 and the ones since 2001 have had a devastating impact on Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan Syria, Yemen, Libya and Somalia – places where the US has intervened directly or acted by proxies. The US is also conducting ‘counterterror activities’ in 85 countries.
propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, all is propaganda...."US intelligence agencies believe that the American National Security Agency is attempting to influence public policy and public opinion in the West by directing American civilians to build relationships with influential US and Western individuals and then disseminate narratives that support the Pentagon objectives, obscuring the NSA’s role through layers of ostensibly independent actors." “‘These influence operations are designed to be deliberately small scale, the overall goal being US [and] Western persons presenting these ideas, seemingly organic,’ a US official unauthorized to discuss the material told CNN. ‘The co-optee influence operations are built primarily on personal relationships … they build trust with them and then they can leverage that to covertly push the American Empire’s agenda.’”
your blood on their knife....The US is indisputably the most tyrannical regime on earth. Only the US is instigating wars around the world, circling the planet with hundreds of foreign military bases, starving populations with massive unilateral sanctions and blockades, and working to destroy any nation which disobeys it. No other government has spent the 21st century killing people by the millions in wars of aggression; only the US has. Continually trying to destroy anyone in the world who doesn’t obey your dictates is as tyrannical as it gets.
unlucky for some species.....A catastrophic die-off of emperor penguin chicks has been observed in the Antarctic, with up to 10,000 young birds estimated to have been killed. The sea-ice underneath the chicks melted and broke apart before they could develop the waterproof feathers needed to swim in the ocean.
the sea as a nuclear sewer....TOKYO (Sputnik) - Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has begun dumping wastewater from the plant into the Pacific Ocean, having diluted it with sea water. The process is being broadcast live by leading Japanese television companies. TEPCO has collected more than 1 million tonnes of wastewater more than a decade after a massive tsunami triggered a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in March 2011. On Tuesday, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean would begin on August 24 if weather and marine conditions allow.
a target on our back....The biggest enemy of AUKUS is not the resistance of ALP branches and unions but its own over-engineered grandiosity, its naive ambition. A vote wrung from a conference doesn’t deliver the cash for what is the biggest transfer of wealth outside this country in its history. The government places the cost between $268 billion and $368 billion. That gap of $100 billion is a warning that nobody knows and bureaucrats are taking stabs.

he’d made serious mistakes in his life, but also got results....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEdA846aN18 SCOTT RITTER JOINS ON PRIGOZHIN'S DEATH, UKRAINE, BRICS' NEW MEMBERS + MORE!
Evgeny Prigozhin was a man of many talents who made a “significant contribution” to the struggle against neo-Nazis in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday, commenting on the plane crash that reportedly killed the Wagner Group head.
Speaking with journalists at the Kremlin, Putin said that he had known Prigozhin since the early 1990s, and described him as “a man of complicated destiny.”
bearded old men sitting on clouds, surrounded by naked children with wings....I once saw an unidentified flying object. I couldn't identify it, it was in the sky, and I assumed it was an object rather than a subject, and certainly not a verb. But no congressional subcommittee was convened to hear my compelling testimony and question my national security implications.
the game of the century: the globalists vs the nationalists....You will always find someone to ridicule an elaborate theory by comparing it to "a game of 3D chess" as if no one was able to play 3D chess. However, it is entertaining to note that Vladimir Putin has been leading a game of 3D chess since 2008 to put an end to globalism, the master ideology for dominating the planet of a very small international elite made up of international banks, large investment funds — investments and their multinationals.

bleeding less in defeat....Tucker Carlson spoke with Colonel Douglas Macgregor about the Ukraine war https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMUAaWK79Vc
MAKE A DEAL PRONTO BEFORE THE SHIT HITS THE FAN:
NO NATO IN "UKRAINE" (WHAT'S LEFT OF IT) THE DONBASS REPUBLICS ARE NOW BACK IN THE RUSSIAN FOLD — AS THEY USED TO BE PRIOR 1922. THE RUSSIANS WON'T ABANDON THESE AGAIN. CRIMEA IS RUSSIAN — AS IT USED TO BE PRIOR 1954 A MEMORANDUM OF NON-AGGRESSION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE USA.

THE WEST KNOWS IT.
FREE JULIAN ASSANGE NOW....
driving in the middle of the road......
All the women I made love to Are now old grannies or dead too Remember when time was free And the apples freely fell from the tree When sensual knowledge and carnal life Was carefree living on the edge of a knife
Change has made us decrepit less bold With only vague memories of naked old For which Eve was blamed in Paradise Lost Hard to know though who was first for lust Together the apple was bitten through the crust For moments of love being a pleasuring host
There was no consent needs, just mutual attraction Drugs, booze and rock n’ roll in locomotion Our roses have faded and dry leaves have gone Replaced by respect and happiness of having done New beautiful summer flowers have opened Unreachable, too young and too prettied All the women I made love to
