Not only am I a brony, but I also have figurines from MLP G1. How the [yaay] is that supposed to prove me "a woman trapped in a man's body"?

It is a running gag in parts of the MLP fandom to censor foul language with Fluttershy's cute little "yay" from "Sonic Rainboom".

Retrying this with a different symbol for the footnote.

Wow! It was written in English but it was still a foreign language.
What is a MLP G1? What is a Fluttershy? What is a sonic rainboom? What is a brony?

So the Democratic Congressman from California was attacked by a fox, was he? "I don't know if it actually penetrated my skin or not, but you can see the bite marks in the back of my pants," he said.

He doesn't know if the fox actually bit him, but it bit his pants, so he's taking a round of painful shots, just to be on the safe side? I guess his doctor doesn't trust his lying eyes, either. Did his pants get the shots, too?

On the Ukraine, the only voice that approaches reason that I've heard is Colonel Douglas MacGregor. Here is an interview (~45 minutes) from a day or two ago:

He says things that make sense and more importantly, can be checked for accuracy. A friend of mine is a retired Army senior officer, and he notes that MacGregor has always been outspoken and, as a tank commander, tends to think of things in terms of 72-ton solutions.

Fox turned out to be rabid .

Glad the Congressman Trusted the Science~!

The fox probably got rabies from being around the congress people.........some of them act pretty rabid.

There are also youtube videos with a professor Mearsheimer that are good at the history of NATO and the Ukraine.

The Biden White House, who ever is really running the show (wouldn’t you like to know?) has done quite a bit to reduce demand. Sky high gas prices have not quite done the trick. I guess they aren’t quite ready to go all in on Climate Emergency, and impose restrictions on driving. They have thought about, guaranteed. Did anyone see the video footage from China, concerning the current lockdowns? Drones flying around the city of Shanghai, with loud speakers, telling people, “Control your soul’s desire for freedom. Do not open the window or sing.” I bet the puppet masters just drool with envy, over that kind of power. Confirmation from the communists that your soul desires freedom. And that we have souls! A minor victory for lovers of freedom.

The puppet masters will buy oil from the sleaziest corrupt countries, but they won’t buy it from Texas. The puppet masters will do just about anything but allow energy independence for America. They truly despise us normal Americans. That’s okay, the animals don’t even like them.

It seems your president will happily take our oil now but can't bring himself to admit he was wrong about cancelling Keystone.

That basically leaves transport by rail and I might remind you all about horrors such as Lac-Mégantic, Québec:

Biden is only the acting president. Even Kamala knows who to kneel before by now.

Is Russia running out of troops? No, but they are running out of patience with the US State Department of War and the CIA that will be happy to sacrifice every living Ukrainians last drop of blood.

European environmentalists will soon enough have all of western Europe huddled around campfires beside their cave dwellings. At least they won't have an overpopulation problem.

Judging by the birthrate in most European countries, they don't have one now.

Won't see much of this on the MSM.
But it's a start.

Still blaming Fox News, eh? Was it Tucker Carlson in a fox costume?

What does the fox say?

RE: Russia running out of troops

Lots of assertions, no evidence or citation
Stop with the false hope propaganda

Inflation is growing faster than they are telling you. It will if left unchecked destroy our dollar and our economy. The only way to stop and hopefully decrease inflation is by raising the FED interest rates. But raising the rates will precipitate a recession perhaps even another great depression which will destroy the economy and impoverish the entire middle class not to mention bankrupt the federal government. A classic example of being between a rock and a hard place. It will happen! Maybe it can be kicked down the road a few more months or even years by more massive printing of money but that will only make the inevitable collapse that much worse. On top of this for various reasons, some of them by nefarious intent the nations and the worlds food supply is going to suffer and we are facing a possible famine at home and abroad. What to do...

But there is a glimmer of hope. No! Not that it can be avoided, it's coming, a shit storm beyond your wildest nightmare. No the glimmer is that it is early in the collapse and many are in denial or simply ignorant. Your dollar is still worth something and your stores are still full. Yes it is time to be the ant and not the grasshopper. There is still time, no one knows how much. What are you going to do?

Is Russia Running Out Of Troops?

Uhhh, no. Not even close. Russia will not allow herself to be threatened domestically by the United States. If the arrogant assholes running the corrupt US government force her, Russia will wage every bit of war she is able, and she isn't even getting started.
