Modern tragedy: he won the argument but in doing so lost his marriage
Winners
Peaceniks - Trump contacted both sides of the Ukraine-Russia conflict to begin the process of bringing the war to an end. Bigger move was stating the 2014 borders are an unrealistic goal.
Scott Jennings - Some suspected the CNN token conservative auditioned for Press Secretary but he has a far more powerful role on CNN. Due to media TDS, he is consistently a rational sounding talking head who notches win after win.
NFL - Super Bowl showed violent large men beating down others matters. Not the refs. They needed that four quarter beatdown of the Chiefs.
RFK Jr - The system turned his family against him and released dirty laundry after he endorsed Trump. He now is head of HHS. First relevant Kennedy in a generation.
Losers
Hollywood - There is a backlog of “We think Kamala will win” media they have to work through. Who is excited for Viola Davis to play vigilante Kamala in G20?
NED - This is the latest non-CIA CIA department to get the axe. If Bari Weiss is upset, it is a good thing.
Norm Eisen & Marc Elias - They are coordinating lawfare and lashing out. Eventually, DOJ may look at them.

Regarding China's demographic collapse, they forgot that when you embrace right-wing Socialism (aka fascism aka national socialism), that you must also embrace natalism. Having just transitioned away from Communism, they didn't know that you're not supposed to treat people like economic units anymore.
Capitalism is inherently degenerate. Rather than fighting the degeneracy, China promoted it by forcing families to have only one child.
“Marriage has been falling out of favor, particularly with younger people, due to high costs, the sluggish economy and evolving attitudes toward traditional marriages,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Ada Li said in a report."
High costs and a sluggish economy, because it's more expensive to live alone as a single person. Combined with "evolving attitudes toward traditional marriages" (aka degeneracy aka no sexual restrictions, especially on women), and you have entered an uncontrollable negative feedback loop. A nation of bachelors and spinsters who occasionally have sex, but never form families.
"Last year saw the second-lowest number of births since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, underscoring a persistent long-term risk for the economy as a shrinking workforce puts a strain on growth."
The bugman author of the article thinks this is bad for "the economy". That's the only way they're capable of thinking. In reality, it's bad for people and bad for society. It means your civilization is collapsing.
"In the words of one user, “life is already so tiring. Who has the courage to get married?”'
A nation of nihilists is a recipe for disaster.
"Another comment read: “Getting married is a big expense. I suddenly felt this year that it’s pretty good being single, I don’t have such big pressure and can spend the money I earned myself.”"
Nihilists and the selfish Boomer mentality of spending all your money on frivolities, rather than helping the next generation.
This is not good for China.
