Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

One month ago we joked that should the Delaware judge force Musk to buy Twitter, then none other than the US government would step in and prevent the South African from gaining control over the blue-checkmark echo chamber of record, the one social media network which congressional testimony after congressional testimony has argued it can manipulate the outcome of elections.

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for September 6, 2022

– While fighting continues around Kherson, it remains positional, signifying the end of Kiev’s long-planned offensive;

Joe Biden Is An EXTREMIST – According To White House Spokesperson

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Sep 3, 2022 – During a recent press conference, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre explicitly declared that anyone who disagrees with the majority of Americans is, by definition, an extremist. She intended for her remarks to be about Trump’s MAGA supporters, but could have just as easily meant her own boss, Joe Biden, who adopts a decidedly minority position on a number of issues, including opposition to Medicare for All and marijuana legalization as well as refusing to push for a $15 federal minimum wage. Guess Biden’s the extremist, after all!

Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger are joined by The Duran hosts Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou to discuss the myriad ways Joe Biden is out of touch with the American public.

Japanese Lawmakers Make Rare Taiwan Visit to Discuss Potential Conflict

Japan is essential to the US’s plans to boost alliances in the region to encircle China, and Washington is encouraging Tokyo to expand its military. Analysts told The South China Morning Post that a conflict sparked by US intervention in Taiwan could leave Japan and other US allies in the region badly exposed, and in the middle of a situation they have not properly planned for.
