Colin Powell, military leader and first Black US secretary of state, dies
(CNN) Colin Powell, the first Black US secretary of state whose leadership in several Republican administrations helped shape American foreign policy in the last years of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st, has died from complications from Covid-19, his family said on Facebook. He was 84.
Operation: Marriage Material
First World countries aren't replacing their own populations. Population growth is largely from Third World countries from cultures with a markedly different mindset (like raping is a legitimate hobby).
None of this is an accident.
Feminism was the vehicle to make females unmarriageable, and it takes two to tango, but only one to spoil the equation. "Women need men like fish need a bicycle," and "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them," have given us generations of crabby Lucy Van Pelts who didn't want to marry and no one wanted to marry anyways.
Now this, from female writer Peachy Keen.
Ladies, go from cheap date to soul mate with this one neat trick.
Why can’t young men find suitable brides?
You know why. Fifty years of feminism has had its way with two generations of American women, with predictable results. Throw in the eager pharmaceutical market, social celebration of “sex work,” the pornification of entertainment, successful destruction of “devoted wife” and “loving mother” as attractive careers for girls, and finally, the dismantling of “human female” as a real and separate gender—and well, here we are.
But someone’s got to keep American civilization from dying out! We can’t import our way out of this. And we don’t want to, do we folks? We need more weddings and babies, and we need them fast.
Young women of America: it is time for you to step up and do your duty.
Fortunately, there are many eligible young men who have ducked and dodged the incoming cultural shrapnel that has stripped so many others of their agency and masculinity and their confidence and even their gonads. These brave souls made it to adulthood with their appendages attached and sanity intact.
Now they are in want of a wife. But that’s the problem: “wife.” What’s that? Most girls are no longer raised to be wives. Not since Target started selling Girls Rule t-shirts for toddlers, at least. “How to be a wife” is now an archaic skill set one must seek out on trad-minded blogs.
“How to be a wife” is not something anyone really ever even thinks about, until it’s too late.

Ex-Aide to Roger Stone Is Subpoenaed in Russian Investigation
By Maggie Haberman
June 28, 2018
A former aide to Roger J. Stone Jr., the longtime Trump adviser and self-described “dirty trickster,”
was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury hearing evidence in the Russia investigation and to hand over documents,
and his lawyer moved on Thursday to quash it in court.
The aide, Andrew Miller, has not been mentioned before publicly in the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III.
Mr. Miller, a registered Libertarian, worked briefly for Mr. Stone around the time of the Republican National Convention in 2016,
helping to arrange media interviews and conducting other tasks, according to a person close to Mr. Stone.
Mr. Miller was also an aide on the campaign for New York governor in 2010 of Kristin M. Davis, a former madam,
whose main adviser was Mr. Stone.
A lawyer, Paul Kamenar, said he filed a motion on Thursday on behalf of a client who was subpoenaed to be questioned
in front of the grand jury, though he did not identify Mr. Miller.
Mr. Kamenar said the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative nonprofit organization, was paying for his services.
His motion argued that Mr. Mueller’s appointment “was unconstitutional,” he said. Peter Flaherty, the chairman of the policy center,
said, “The founders feared exactly what we see in Mueller: a runaway federal official.
We hope to see Mueller’s operation disbanded, once and for all.”
Though that argument has gained prominence in conservative circles, two federal judges have rejected it,
including this week in the financial fraud case against Paul Manafort, the president’s former campaign chairman.
The deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, who appointed Mr. Mueller, has also repeatedly said
he has seen nothing untoward in Mr. Mueller’s conduct.
Mr. Miller’s scheduled grand jury appearance was postponed after the motion was filed.
Mr. Stone has become a focal point for Mr. Mueller’s investigators in the inquiry into possible collusion
between the Trump campaign and Russia’s election interference.
During the 2016 campaign, Mr. Stone publicly foreshadowed the released by WikiLeaks of information
damaging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
He has since said that he was informed by an intermediary about the plans of the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange,
and has denied allegations that he helped collude with foreign powers.

DEZINFORMATSIA: What it means, Where it came from, and "Useful Idiots"
Lately, as Leftists have taken control over the US, her intelligence agencies, a vast swath of the Media, the Social Media Giants, Academia and other public institutions, * we are now hearing the word "Disinformation" cast about. Coming from the Left, for them to accuse others of disinformation, is very much like someone who is insane calling someone who is sane, "crazy."
The central tenets of the Left are to LIE; admit nothing, deny everything, demand proof; counter-accuse; and (as Mic has pointed out), insult. Truth is the enemy to the Left and for them, to breath is to Lie.
For those who were involved in the Cold War, they will remember the must-have books for understanding what the Soviets, and for that matter, the Chinese Communists were all about. (for some reason, the Chi-Coms never captured the attention of the Intelligence Agencies and policy makers like the Soviets. Of course, the ground has shifted dramatically since the 1980's and a big part of that is the Clintons giving them national security information and weapons technology, along with over three decades of tolerating a vastly disproportionate trade balance with China. China has become the Number One existential threat to the world).
One must-have book was..

Soviet and Russian Dezinformatsia: Reading Selection -- PDF
Read these, and you will understand what true DEZINFORMATSIA is, where it came from and who deployed it. The disturbing thing is that the domestic Left has turned it against regular Americans. In short, we are living under an enemy regime.
USEFUL IDIOTS
Where would Communists be without their Useful Idiots, the impenetrably stupid with a capacity for betraying their countries? Former KGB Agent, Lev Bezmanov, describes them as having "contaminated" minds, incapable of processing truth.
Most of the people who graduated in the sixties (drop-outs or half-baked intellectuals) are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, [and the] educational system. You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated; they are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind, even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words, these people... the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible.
Perhaps Ann Coulter described them best:
Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant."

Disinformation, who is the great master?
Excellent short video on how Disinformation creates the most powerful propaganda of our time. Where it came from, how it is used, and the role of social media.
The social media has created a false sense of community where we choose to believe and defend almost anything to feel loved and accepted by our "group". The deepest need of most individuals is to feel cared for and caring.

Federal Appeals Court Freezes Biden's Vaccine Rule for Companies
A U.S. federal appeals court issued a stay Saturday freezing the Biden administration's efforts to require workers at U.S. companies with at least 100 employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 or be tested weekly, citing "grave statutory and constitutional" issues with the rule.
The ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit comes after numerous Republican-led states filed legal challenges against the new rule, which is set to take effect on Jan 4.
In a statement, Solicitor of Labor Seema Nanda said the Labor Department was "confident in its legal authority" to issue the rule, which will be enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
"The Occupational Safety and Health Act explicitly gives OSHA the authority to act quickly in an emergency where the agency finds that workers are subjected to a grave danger and a new standard is necessary to protect them," she said. "We are fully prepared to defend this standard in court.”
The stay comes two days after the Biden administration unveiled the rule, which was immediately met with vows of legal action from Republican governors and others, who argued it overstepped the administration's legal authority.
The action on the private-sector vaccinations was taken under OSHA's emergency authority over workplace safety, officials said. The rule applies to 84.2 million workers at 1.9 million private-sector employers, according to OSHA.
Saturday's court order came in response to a joint petition from several businesses, advocacy groups, and the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Utah. The rule is also facing separate legal challenges before other courts.
The two-page order directs the Biden administration to respond to the request for a permanent injunction against the rule by 5 p.m. Monday.

USA vs China
Biden: "We made a sacred commitment to Article 5 that if in fact anyone were to invade or take action against our NATO allies, we would respond. Same with Japan, same with South Korea, same with - Taiwan. It's not even comparable to [Afghanistan to] talk about that."
I'm not so sure this is the right stance to take with a country like China.
Crazy talk can cause a huge drift between the super powers.
