Actually Josef Goebbels never died. he was cryogenically preserved by rogue Nazi scientists. He emerged intact-except for total hair loss due to the freezing of his scalp. he chose the last name Miller just because it reminded him of his old pal Heinrich Himmler.

A new phrase has emerged –Russian bloggers are talking about “tactical debris” when discussing burning targets in their country. This apparently avoids the dangerous assertion that not all of them are shot down. am now waiting to hear about Russian strikes on Ukrainian tactical debris factories.

There is a reason warfighting lethal hammer man Hegseth is sec-def. As the clown show destroys our economy and pushes us toward dictatorship some people will become truly agitated.

That’s the question. And as long as 80% of the population is OK with it there’s not much we can do. The 35% that constitute the MAGA cult are ecstatic. The 45% that are ”not into politics” favor “love Island” and pizza. The 20% paying attention are doom scrollers and probably too old to matter.
