/Featured Quiz 21st Feb 2025 - Weekly Featured Quiz - 1981 / Ronald Reagan
rwilem replied to Crossy's topic in The Quiz Forum
I just completed this quiz. My Score 90/100 My Time 126 seconds -
90-day report, topic I'm familiar enough with, at least for at CW. (Actually, if you're going with online reporting, best to view it as a '75 day report', though seem to be recent reports of CW having good turnaround times.) Anyway, agree with the above view. Have done several 90 dayers with the 'next report date' well past the current the 'extension valid to date'. No problem. At least at CW, though as noted in the thread, some offices and some officers elsewhere may have their own reasons for doing things. But this is a new one, hadn't heard of it before.

Maddow is an very emotive, extremely leftist 'news actor'. That's her game, period. Strange how she's been able to pull the wool over so many and be viewed by liberals as some kind of fount of wisdom. (An aside, remember her excessive push of the vaccine, "The virus STOPS!!", blah blah blah.) Joy(less) Reid was such an odd choice to be given a TV show on the MSDNC cable outlet, and holding it for as long as she did despite having rather pedestrian ratings over most of that time. Not possessing much of a 'q' factor, her 'likeability' had to trend toward the lower end, logic-challenged at every turn, and gleefully pushing racial divisiveness daily without fail. And yet she remained, given an evening prime-time slot to spew forth her madman ravings. When the ratings finally bottomed out (app. 60K in the coveted demo, an untenable number) in the end even MSDNC couldn't ignore that. Time to go. Of course, cries of racism directed at MSDNC are being heard, including a sharp one from actor Maddow herself. What a mess at 30 Rock. You gotta love it!

Nine-and-a-half years earlier, the warning was sounded. It really wasn't a surprise what's happened. John Mearsheimer was right then, and right now. A 90-second clip from 2015 worth viewing in 2025.

After the Munich Security Conference, EU leaders meet to discuss the need for them to 'step up' military assistance to Ukraine. From the USAID-approved-and-sponsored Politico (recall, the outlet that ran the fabricated cover story to kickoff phony impeachment no.1.) And it's a 'Politico Pro' subscriber dispatch that they're making available to all, so everyone can read about Europe's coordination on the issue. https://www.politico.eu/article/europes-leader-donald-trump-ukraine-peace-deal-emmanuel-macron-presidential-palace-donald-tusk/

Speaking of censorship, a clip of German diplomat Christoph Heusgen attempting to finish his remarks at the Munich conference has just up and 'disappeared' from my post earlier here. Just a big block of black space there now where the clip resided. OK, search for the ultra-viral clip yourself of Heusgen tearfully breaking down, unable to finish. Looks like he's also unable to process the new reality that Uncle Sugar is all tapped-out after three years of biliion$ and billion$ of dollars out the door and no auditing of what they were spent for and where they actually ended up. Even Zelinsky says there's $100 billion missing, unaccounted for. Lot of clues pointing to corruption and kickbacks. What else is new? So when Heusgen broke down the EU diplomat crowd applauded him enthusiastically (biggest applause of the conference?), even rising to their feet for a standing O! Ushered off the stage sobbing in the arms of a woman, what a walk off! Stunning visuals. All that was missing was some dramatic music! They want a war, fight it themselves. Uncle Sugar is getting out of the business of using its treasure to fight the war in the EU's backyard. The tea leaves should have been read on this months ago. Instead, they set themselves up for some unnecessary, self-inflicted shock therapy. Spare us the tears, though. And use your favorite search engine to find clips of instances of police in the UK going after people for social media posts. They're quite shocking. The U.S. does not have that value in common with the EU. 'Nuff said.
-
And the UK is right there with them. There are numerous vids of the 'thought police' going after the people, this is one.
-
The timing is impeccable. A clip from '60 Minutes' in the U.S. on the censorship of speech in Germany. They're not alone in the EU, as the UK has rather harsh censorship laws in place. The CBS reporter seems enthusiastic about the practice.
-
Seems like the EU is putting all their chips on Zelinsky. This man has represented Germany a long time. (Laughed off warnings from Trump in 2018.) The biggest applause, a standing ovation...and he didn't even conclude the speech. And they think they're going to fight a war?
-
The EU is going the way its been going by design. Vance dropped some truth on them, rather mild but it was a shock to the system. Officials and media reaction was over-the-top. Wonder why.

Trump 2.0 -- Exponentially more damaging than Trump 1.0
rwilem replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
Those are astounding numbers, especially as network polling is always a few points shy of actual results for anything 'Trump'. The 53 percent 'approval rating' is his highest ever, which means it's a few points higher. The guy played it pretty much straight giving his report. That's progress. But the anchorette looked like she'd rather be anywhere else on a Sunday morning. -

They have only themselves to blame. If they just hadn't stolen it in '20 Trump would be done. He'd be out of their lives, their heads, and three weeks into his post-presidential retirement! -

Deflection. Hit Tucker Carlson, oh that's easy. Ignore the actual evidence, what Benz is revealing. While we're at it, laying it out here. Another player shows their hand in the actual international 'propaganda-censorship industrial complex'. They tell you what they're doing. -
Diary Entry From USAID Employee Whose Life Has Been Turned Upside Down
rwilem replied to rwilem's topic in Political Soapbox
Indeed. Dealing with immediate termination from USAID can be quite painful to process. -
First, word got out about Politico being funded by USAID cutouts. The looney lefties scoffed, 'no can't be, the source is not legit'. Yeah... Then the BBC and NY Times were also discovered to be among other 'news' outlets, as being recipients of USAID monies, for slanted, dishonest 'coverage'. Now perhaps the biggest bombshell. From Wikileaks, a far, far more credible source than the MSM regime-now-resistance media that so misinforms the public, especially the lefties who reject any reporting that isn't aired by MSDNC, DNN or written by the Times, the Post, AP, Reuters, etc. As usual, when going deep the detailed receipts are included. The 'Internews Network' has been selected for exposure.

Sen. Warren (Dem-MA) is well-known for her 'Cherokee Recipes' chapter of the award-winning book 'Pow Wow Chow'. She's also gained noteriety for being an 'early adapter' of identity politics. Designed to aid the oppressed and offer opportunities to those from ethnic groups which suffered past injustices, Warren skillfully gamed the system to her advantage. But enough of that. Seems that Warren at one time was quite outspoken in support of investigating the secretive nature of where U.S. taxpayers' dollars are going and how they are spent. So what changed? "Senator, can you explain that?" -
Diary Entry From USAID Employee Whose Life Has Been Turned Upside Down

We have exclusively and semi-legally obtained the following entries, written in the early days of the Trump administration, from the personal diary of a junior administrator at USAID (who will not be named at this time). 10:39 a.m. Woke up to 11 missed calls and 53 texts on my personal phone. Lost my work phone months ago after having lunch with that nice Chinese lady who was interested in buying some of my dumpster art. (Never heard back, natch.) When I finally figured out what was going on, it hit me like the murder of Cedric Diggory by Wormtail, the conniving Death Eater, at the end of 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.' All remote workers were being called back to the office. The Republicans fascists had arrived to implement their cisnormative fatphobic Zionist white supremacist agenda. Played ukulele for Hillary and cleaned her compost bin. 11:15 a.m. Listened to the Jennifer Rubin podcast in the shower, then called my other boss at Greenpeace to tell him (thanks, patriarchy) I was taking another sick day. Tried to DoorDash some avocado toast on the USAID account. Declined!!! WTF??? Called emergency therapist while brushing my teeth, then again from the car on the way into D.C. Traffic sucks, but the Metro is unsafe and unreliable (thanks, GOP). Sent a long group text to the polycule. Got a voice message from my colleague [redacted] who said her trip to Cambodia was cancelled without explanation. Her team was prepping for months to fulfill their critical mission of performing a renowned alternative theater symposium on climate feminism for historically disadvantaged sex traffickers. THIS IS WHAT AUTOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. 11:46 a.m. Pulled over for texting. ACAB!!! 12:01 p.m. Voldemort is in the house, y'all, and I'm literally not kidding. First time back in the office since March 2020, and this is worse than Gaza. Public servants are sobbing under their desks. The vibe is one of tragic apocalyptic suffering. TVs spew right-wing talking points from CNN. An invading army of Latinx janitors, traitors to their own people, have defiled our refuge, installing new signs to re-segregate the bathrooms by birth gender. They already trashed the macramé dreamcatchers we made for Indigenous People's Day, not to mention our 7th place trophy display from the 'Evade Inequity' dodgeball tournament last week to raise money for the Islamic-Atheist Alliance. The self-care sanctuary was turned back into a conference room, the male menstruation space turned back into a kitchenette. Tried logging into my Politico Pro account after consoling several victims. Determined to read up on what it is I actually do here in case someone asks. Access denied!!! 2:35 p.m. WHAT THE F—??? Lord Voldemort VoldeMusk and his fascist thugs are committing actual violence now. Was packing up to leave at my regular logoff time, but was told I had to keep working or resign. My tears of rage soaked into the polymer fibers of my N95 respirator, which they asked me to take off as if we weren't in the midst of a deadly pandemic. I told them I needed to go home and start prepping Hillary's anti-anxiety enema, and they just laughed. I threatened to tell HR, but they assured me the ban on laughter was revoked, along with the ban on working past 11 a.m. on Thursdays and Fridays. I have never felt more terrorized or literally enslaved. WE COULD HAVE CHOSEN JOY!!!

Turmoil inside the CBS '60 Minutes' newsroom. Boss still backs the switch-out editing of Kamala's answers. Some staffers contemplate quitting, disgusted by the entire affair. https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-internal-chaos-explodes-at-cbs-amid-60-minutes-kamala-scandal-micca/ -

They are really letting their anger get the better of them. Even from those you'd least expect it. Boy, was I wrong about this guy.
