Winners, Losers and Links
You may be down 7 with 50 seconds left, but victory is always possible
Winners
Afrikaners - Very few have found safe passage to America but the whole world was made aware of the reason why they need safe passage.
Joe Biden - Do we get a redemption arc into his death? Notice that Trump leaned into Biden’s cancer revelation by pointing out people used Biden. Great way to force the hard questions the media has not touched yet.
PR consultants for Fortune 500 firms - They have been eating good in the age of inflation but now get to add pivots away from woke and tariffs. So many quarterly calls with so much fluff.
Losers
RSA President Ramaphosa - Watch the video of Trump sitting there with Ramaphosa highlighting the persecution of Afrikaners for the public to see. Ramaphosa has always had a compliant, enabling partner during state visits. That goon sat there squirming as there was no denial for what the media and academics call a myth.
Rep. Nancy Mace - If you ever wondered what an egirl as a congressman would be like, Mace is showing you the possibilities. She is also showing why we can do away with Congress and just have an executive and judiciary.
Zelensky - Russia made some demands and will likely increase their demands as the war grinds on. Question remains what supplies that were supposed to be in production by 2025 appear on the battlefield and meet those 2022 promises.
GOP SALT Caucus - Yes yes of course you guys should jam up the big bill for NYers and Californians to get tax breaks since their local and state governments are big spenders.
Biden’s Autopen Team - Hire lawyers because even if cleared, it is going to cost you.

Sam Altman does not give the warm and fuzzies in any interview and makes one question AI research.
America's maritime initiatives are stuck. We hollowed out shipbuilding for decades.
Jailing one admiral for kickbacks and bribes is a good start.
The House GOP budget bill is an abomination. Tax breaks for blue state liberal elites and RINOs is political malpractice. The 2017 SALT cap has served as a catalyst for driving out-migtation from CA, NJ, and NY to red states. This trend will, if allowed to continue, will pay huge dividends for the GOP when the 2030 Census is conducted. A swing of 30 electoral votes is possible and red states will add congressional districts. House Republicans are too stupid to realize this.
Ramaphosa IN CONTEXT is the moderate law and order guy. He’s also an accomplished businessman with very progressive labor relationships- he was once head of the ZA miners union, since then a businessman.
There was a strike against his business 10 years ago and 40 strikers shot dead. How businesslike and “at will” employment indeed.
And in the context of er ah yes he’s very reasonable and moderate.
Seriously this is Tshombe. He is the reasonable businessman, and context is always everything.
Frankly I don’t know what there’s not to like about the man from the libertarian point of view that underlies your American Sun, and as far as the poor Boers the only genocide they ever went through was at the hands of the British, who won the second Boer war by herding them into concentration camps and oh dear running out of food. What a terrible supply mixup.
What a dreadful misunderstanding.
Then again the Dutch always had bad table manners.
