A few weeks ago at night while I was walking home in the snow a group of “Glory to Allah and Putin” Russo-Iranian suicide drones flew over my head and protested with their lawnmower like sound and made people in Kyiv anxious and scared.
I decided to speak with these drones in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving Ukrainians alone. (None of them agreed.)
I know it was a mostly peaceful Russian attack that night, only a few buildings suffered damage and maybe just one person died in this case though many more were injured but if you’re chasing for three years free people with drones and missiles as part of a way to stay relevant, you’re a shithole country.
I said this to the drones: Russians are the worst illegal immigrants in the world, because they show up with tanks and ballistic missiles. Why isn’t Washington helping the only country actually fighting against illegal immigrants?
The drones only answer was to explode over our heads. But oh how I sympathize with those poor souls in still-free America who have to listen to the drone of protestors. Awful.
The American Elegy: Is it beginning?

The Vice President’s “Slava Ukraini” Protestor Post:
Legitimate Concerns or Vice President of Snowflakes?
I have children. Keeping them safe and unafraid is important to me. I respect that it is important to Vice President Vance who has one of the largest and most professional teams of lethal security agents in the world protecting him and his daughter from elderly folk in Vermont standing on the side of the road with signs.
If the VP’s text was actually about protecting children, I would be shouting in defense of Vice President Vance. I can’t help but feel it is the same self serving stunt he has been using to harass people whose “family” is made up of a nation of children suffering from real threats that make the handful of Vermontians look like Mother Theresa. Those threats are more than going on a walk and being called on the carpet for bad behavior as VP – They are the ongoing reality of rape, murder, and torture which millions believe the Vice President is helping to facilitate.
One more thing: This is personal. Mr. Vance, you are free to believe whatever you want. To raise your children however you want. No issues there. But when you use your children on a public stage as you have to lecture Christians about Christianity, while your children are being formally raised as Hindus, we have questions. And after the Oval Office episode, those questions are mounting.

Macron Delivers the “Iron Curtain” Speech of Our Generation
In the defining moment of Shakespeare’s Henry V, just before the Battle of Agincourt commences, the King of England addresses his ragtag, badly outnumbered army and offers absolution for the past and eternal brotherhood in the future to any who stand with him in that penultimate moment in history:
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
You now know everything you need to know about my perspective on French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron after this week’s history-making speech.
Whatever my differences with Macron in the past, they matter little now.
At this defining hour of world history—when the leaders of my own nation have descended into an ethical abyss of shame, dragging the world into a pit where murderers are heroes and farmers with pitchforks are the enemy—it was a Frenchman who raised the flag of freedom and called the world to the barricades once again.
Macron’s speech is reminiscent of Churchill at Fulton, Missouri, where the great English war leader delivered his famous Iron Curtain speech. The failure of Yalta, where Churchill had been present, resulted in the ultimate enslavement of billions and the absorption of sovereign nations and free people into a giant Soviet slave colony. He warned the West of the unfolding danger of Russia.
We did not expect Macron to step into Churchill’s shoes, but he has done so, and we must pause to consider the portent of his words.
The first thing you notice about Macron’s address is that his words are rooted in a world governed by reality. There is a complete absence of Russian conspiracy theories and alternative-universe fantasies. There is right and wrong. Invaders and rapists are evil. The victims of torture and kidnapping deserve support. Putin is untrustworthy, vicious, and bereft of humanity. The West must stand against Russian terror or perish. Appeasement is the surest path to destruction.
The post-WWII peace dividend has officially ended with the presidency of Donald Trump. The West can no longer look to the U.S. for solidarity, friendship in times of difficulty, or support. America has changed sides in the fight for freedom.
This last point is the most shocking. The American foreign policy shift is the most profound in the 250 years of its existence as a republic. A values-based approach—where America once projected liberty and stood with the oppressed—has been exchanged for a transactional, might-makes-right standard.
What can the world do? Macron explains, warns, and outlines the next steps.

Fast Solutions to Conclude War Are the Path to Slavery and Death
Sir Winston Churchill was arguably the most important Western leader for good in the 20th century. At a defining moment, he modeled resolution, indefatigable courage, and clarity. Without Churchill, the outcome of World War II would have been far darker.
We want our great men to be perfect. They are not—and likely, they would not be great if they were. Perfection is a divine quality, not a human one. We should not be surprised when the greatest men have shortcomings or when they make consequential mistakes.
The 1945 meeting at Yalta between Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin is difficult to dissect due to the enormous complexities of the moment. Roosevelt was on death’s door, often unable to engage, leaving global foreign policy to his lieutenants. Churchill despised Stalin and recognized him for the thug he was. Stalin, meanwhile, arrived with global plunder on his mind.
Churchill’s effectiveness at Yalta was defended by others present, notably Admiral William Leahy, Roosevelt’s Chief of Staff, who later insisted: “Churchill, I thought, was at his best at Yalta, in fighting not only for Britain’s interests but also for those of France, Poland, and other small powers.”
But in the end, America’s lack of clarity and resolve, Britain’s concern for the return of liberated British soldiers under Russian control, and the overall exhaustion in the West after six years of fighting tipped the scales toward finding a fast solution. That solution, however, created a loophole that gave Stalin the pretext to roll over European countries and enslave hundreds of millions of people—billions over the course of the next fifty years.
Churchill viewed this outcome as the worst possible conclusion to the Allied victory and spent the rest of his life opposing the Soviet menace. His brilliant Iron Curtain speech, delivered in Fulton, Missouri, was a warning to the West.
Last week, the French President Emmanuel Macron delivered the Iron Curtain speech of our generation. I have placed it below. All freedom-loving Americans and Europeans should listen, pause, and calculate the potential damage to future generations if foreign policy is directed at appeasing Russia, validating its war crimes, and serving up its victims au brochet to Vladimir Putin.
I have posted an English transcript of the speech here, along with my commentary on President Macron’s prescient and courageous declaration—made at a moment when America appears to be setting the stage for the success of a new Axis of Evil and a Russian commitment that bears few substantive differences from those advanced by Stalin.

“Putin invaded Ukraine, not the other way around!”
A growing body of Republicans normally sympathetic to President Trump’s domestic policy, are now joining Democrats and Independents in a deep sense of shame over the grotesque mistreatment of President Zelensky at the White House last Friday. They recognize that the false claims from President Trump and his lieutenants accusing the President of Ukraine of “being ungrateful” and “trying to sabatoge the peace process” is nothing more than manipulation, projection and gaslighting to distract the public from the inhuman mistreatment of a foreign head of state and commander in chief of a nation under attack visiting the White House and subjected to mockery, harassment and disrespect.
Republican Congressman like those in the video below, are waking to the reality that President Trump is “caving” on American principles of freedom. That for the first time in history, a Republican president is on a trajectory to punish the victims of Russian warcrimes, and appease and reward the very Russian war criminals guilty of mass rapes, mass murders, mass kidnappings, tortures and warcrimes.
They oppose the President’s untruths spoken about the causes of the war,
his exploration of forcing regime change in Ukraine, his alignment with Marxists Leninist at the U.N., and his decision to rescind a formal signed agreement on information sharing that specifically saves the lives of children from Putin’s efforts to target civilians. They are concerned by the White House’s overt departure from American and conservative values based on a moral position on freedom, and his adoption of a foreign policy agenda embracing of the transactional “might make rights” approach of Putin, a Marxist Leninist trained communist and KGB agent turned dictator now poisoning the world with war crimes at a scale not seen since WWII.
Americans of all parties want President Trump to be successful in negotiating a just peace. But it is becoming abundantly clear that such a just process is an absolute impossibility if the process is driven by President’s present trajectory of moral equivalency, sidelining of the victim state and forced regime change.
The president has time to change path. All efforts must be made to appeal to him to reverse course, lest the world is plunged into unrelenting war and death far in excess off the present crisis in Ukraine.
These Republicans are speaking out. More will follow. Let your friends know.

What a pathetic post to make over a few people with banners!
I would like to answer the sack of shit, Vance, on his message above. Too bad there’s no link. I’d tell him that there are other daughters who must run for cover when his russian friends are sending death and destruction over Ukrainian cities, now with growing impunity due to America colluding with the crime syndicate.

Realizing their mistakes is only a first step to rehabilitation into the ranks of morality and righteousness. These Republicans must also find their spines again and act accordingly in Congress to counter the wicked behavior of Trump. This must be done asap and vehemently.
