“Can’t Never Could”

This is positive thinking, US Southern style. You won’t accomplish much if you always say or think you can’t do it. Be positive and give it a try and you might find out you could do it after all.

So rhe headlines are screaming that Biden authorized 3000 reservists to go to Europe to support the war in Ukraine.

So a couple of questions here…

Is this legit? Did he do it?

Is this unusual? Is disrupting the lives of reservists something you do even when you have plenty of active-duty personnel.

What exactly can reservists do to support a war we are not fighting in?

Is this an escalation or normal?

What is the gain here?

Am I imagining things or do I see subtle escalation in every action?

Tesla doing its best to help the Chinese economy, by exporting cheap Chinese-made Teslas to South Korea.

Teslas get Korean government EV subsidies, while Hyundai and KIA don’t get any EV subsidies in the US. The US doing its best to help China economy, at the expense of South Korea. Now let’s talk about chinabots.

Yoon Suck visits Ukraine and has just held a summit with Zelinsky, promising all kinds of aid and support for Ukraine. All points to South Korea’s large direct military aid including weapons to Ukraine.

Press conference.

He shouldn’t be promising big things that he wouldn’t be able to deliver – like $52 billion in reconstruction aid to Ukraine? Come on.

But Reddit Ukraine has full of Ukrainian media articles, reporting on Yoon’s surprise visit followed by big promises for Ukranian aid – showing how big the anticipation is in Ukraine which will lead to bigger disappointments later. This is all unnecessary.

Coffee connoisseurs will be triggered; but I like those 100-packs of Maxim, Tasters Choice, or my favorite, French Cafe (from Namyang) coffee.

Instead of 5 dollars a cup, I spend under 20 cents.

Saves money to spend on taking my wife shopping for things she likes—and tastes better than Starbucks or Peets.

Sadly, even tastes better than King Harv’s and Black Rifle coffees made at home.

Korea for the win. Again.

I know you are all spending a lot of time reading all you can about the next Marvel movie and wondering what pronouns the Kardashians are going to use next, but I put that away for a couple minutes and got my calculator out.

I was quite surprised to notice that the interest on the national debt is $900,000,000 a year but will be expected to go over a trillion by the final quarter of this year.

I was quite dissapointed to learn this because that is just draining money that could go to pharmaceutical compainies for more fake vaccines or prolong the war in Ukraine long enough to fully develop the market for Young Slavic Women Excited to Meet American Men.

It’s not that big of deal since America’s infrastructure is Safe & Effective, our cities and public transporation terminals are quite posh, and we have a world-class healthcare system that is 100% free as long as you don’t get sick and avoid buying the fake insurance that does nothing.

But still, I was wondering how best to improve this.

The best solution I could find is to start WWIII, reset the financial system, and make the losers pay.

Of course some of that will be Europe. Despite their dislike of guns, they always seem to have enough of them to shoot themselves in the foot.

Maybe the Chinese will be in on it since their financial problems are actually worse than America’s.

Oh well… just musing about this while I am waiting for the Disney webpage to load so I can see what kind of softcore gay and tranny pr0n they are pushing on kids this Christmas so I can bang out a quick fap before I run up the credit card on some racially diverse Star Wars collectables.

So what do you think?

Is this a problem?

Or would Jar Jar Binks look good in drag?

Asterix the Gaul and Bidenomix the Yankee.

Bidenomix: highest post-pandemic growth amongst the G7 economies.

“Bidenomix: highest post-pandemic growth amongst the G7 economies.”

Who knows the truth.

These number are so manupulated, they can say whatever the current narrative needs them to say.

We can point to amazing economic growth.

Then we can look a little deeper and see how that growth compares to the “negative growth” preceding it. Some basic math will tell us if there is actually anything amazing going on.

Then let’s look where this growth is happening.

Is it happening in all the small businesses that were put out of business during Two Years to Flatten the Curve? Or it is happening with pharmaceutical companies, defense contractors, financial institutions flush with negative interest federal money, and a few other government-picked winners?

And, of course, you all got a fat raise as your cut of that economic growth, right? No? But that would mean the Amzing Bidenomics Economic Growth means nothing to you.

…especially when much of this economic growth is based on inflation instead of high-paying jobs that don’t require many skills but create a lot of value.

And is 5% more money in the economy really even economic growth when there is 6% inflation?

And that still doesn’t get around the reality that America is getting ready to spend more money just on interest for past money borrowed to pursue fraud, waste, abuse, and misadventure, than supporting old people, taking care of sick people, maintaining the nation, or policing the world.

And a calculator will tell you the level of economic growth needed to manage this is impossible.

The options are things like national default, Zimbabwe-grade inflation, or shake things up with a bit of war.

War is the best option.

…unless my 100 trillion Zimbabwe dollar bill is redeamable at an official rate of 1 to 1… in which case I will pay off the national debt and buy Greenland.

I’ll try the french cafe, Setnaffa. We’re big coffee drinkers….
used to get k cups at home. Also used to go to coffee shops daily.
But after all this fantastic economic growth Biden has provided, those are both too expensive now.

Yet another setback for Japan’s much-bragged space program, as yet another rocket fails to launch and explodes.

Japanese media is now in crisis mode as they are claiming “Japan is now more than 10 years behind South Korea’s space program”.

What’s ironic is that just the beginning of this year, Japan was full of hot pride and bragging that this will be the year of “Japan’s space program that will change the game”.

https://thediplomat.com/2023/01/japan-is-changing-the-game-for-space-powers/

After four failures in a row, they now can’t even launch their rockets into space. Even North Korea has a better record.

As you yourself said, Japan is 10 years behind Korea and needs to go through the learning process that all new spacefaring nations must.

Don’t be so quick to make fun of the Japanese. They have a history of mastering technical issues once they set their mind to it.

In fact, looking back, it seems they can make almost anything except backup generators above sea level and suit pants that go all the way down to the shoes.

Chickenhead, I don’t make any fun of other countries’ failures unless they can’t put their abilities where their big mouth is. If they hadn’t bragged so much, denigrated South Korea’s space program for so long as being stupid idiots 30 years behind Japan’s space program, and done their best to block South Korea from joining the US’s Artemis international cooperation (despite even the UAE being allowed to join this program). Karma has a place.

“Fair, as no one wants to share a foxhole with them.”

Speak for yourself, cis-breeder bigot.

…or…

Since “trans women are real women”, maybe you just aren’t into real women.

Whatever the case, I am glad I am not some kind of weird pedophile…

…just an average minor-attracted person…

…which makes it OK.

Which reminds me, did you see the big scandal in congress?

Liberals say “person of color” and a conservative said “colored person”.

Dripping with bigotry and racism.

This needs to be solved before we move on to national debt or crime or destruction of the middle class.

America deserves what it is getting…

…because all of you accept it.

And you will get more and worse until you stop accepting it.

I previously stated that the US was close to a certain TV show (The Handmaid’s Tale) but gray black dickhead tried his best to do a lame Chickendead impersonation which he failed horribly. We’re getting closer every day.

Tbone! You tell them.

For those of you who have not developed good defenses against irrationality, and don’t want to expose yourself to madness, Tbone’s video was some old faggòt going on about how not electing Hillary was a mistake becasue Trump nominated supreme court justices who are trampling rights.

It is unclear what those rights are… and I would be curious to hear… because, so far, nobody has been able to tell me what rights have been trampled… and those who have tried aren’t connected to reality… and when shown irrefutable reality, they shut down or change the topic.

There are only two types of liberals… the smart ones who don’t buy into it but use it as a tool… and the dumb ones who actually believe it.

We attract only the dumb ones.

I don’t know much about yaoi culture in Korea, deferring to CH”s deep knowledge of such things, but Semantic Error was profiled on CNN on Monday.

Criticism of the genre

“One of the genre’s typical relationship dynamics depicts a masculine, aggressive character seducing a more passive one — with the latter, after repeated advances (some of which arguably resemble harassment or even assault), finally returning his affection.”

Stephen, have you ever dated a real woman?

Rejection, rejection, rejection, shìt test, grudging partial interest, shìt test, a bit more cooperation, shìt test, acceptance.

This is how alpha women get alpha men… or beta men who figure out the deal.

If women didn’t go through this, they would be just another slùt taking the first dìck offered and (from an evolutionary point of view) having inferior offspring.

A guy who gives up easily is s loser she doesn’t want babies with and a guy who reacts pooly is monster she doesn’t want to live with.

So the man’s job is to be some level of agressive and let her know she is worth pursuing, despite discouragement and a bit of emotional termoil. The woman’s job is to arrange the proper tests.

The media would like us to believe that the modern woman is only interested in sensitive little welfare cases in manbuns who show up to gay BLM marches and try to wave their Stand with Vaccines for Tranny Ukranins sign the hardest…

…but it isn’t true.

USSC affirmed the right to freedom of expression and ended a policy of discrimination based on race. Sounds good to me.
My sister in law who has never gotten a job without the “I am a hispanic female” anti-merit badge has some objections.
