Welcome to The Now

  Movement slayer Barack Obama shows that he really was a moderate Republican posing as a progressive Democrat in his latest attempt to save his decaying party : Obama implored the crowd at his first stop in Michigan: “Who will fight for your freedom? Is it a bunch of Republican politicians and judges who think they should get to decide when you start a family or how many children you have, who you marry or who you love?” He then added, “Or is it leaders like (Michigan Democratic Gov.) Gretchen Whitmer who believe that the freedom to make these personal decisions belong to every American, not politicians in Washington?” What the former president didn't say there is that his party has refused to fight for anything of substance up to this point. In stark contrast to Republicans, who fight to vote on issues despite knowing they may loose because it's an incentive to GOTV, Democrats have given voters next-to-nothing to support.  And even when Obama acknowledges the economics, it...

  The terrible thing about modern American politics is that it will take one phase under Democratic Party rule and one under Republican rule to realize that they have long since abandoned the idea of helping people who live paycheck-to-paycheck (never mind the poor). Case in Point: I learned my lesson because of Clinton and GW Bush (and then the first two years of Obama was a stark reminder). I'm sure for others it took both terms of Bush II and Obama, and still others it was Obama and then Trump. Now those who have only been involved/paying attention since Trump (his fake outsider image attracted some disenfranchised voters) realize that Biden is not only continuing some of Trump's policies (building the wall on the Mexican border, keeping kids in cages, staying out of the nuclear agreement with Iran), he's making things worse -particularly with the economy- for the sake "owning the Russians."  So when Briahna Joy Gray makes a video (that Sabby is reviewing) talk...

 Adding both parts so they'll be easier to watch/find:

  Oh and Jeffrey Sachs wasn't always the truth-telling " hero of the people " he's trying to make himself out to be now. 

  Just in case you were wondering why someone who was so popular got torpedoed so harshly .

 When Democrats are in trouble being exposed for not doing anything substantive for the American people losing elections, they call on former President Obama to make voters feel good enough to ignore their bad socio-economic situation remind them what's at stake. 

 

 Would you believe that they are responsible for more deaths than reported?

 The media will play up Rishi Sunak's youth (currently 42) and demographics (parents came to the UK from East Africa in the 1960s/ is of Indian descent/is Hindu), his business dealings and his spouse's connections are definitely worth noting . 

 The director of some very memorable movies talked about working with/for Disney in the future : The filmmaker attended the Lumiere Festival in France over the weekend, where he received the honorary Prix Lumière award. He spoke at a press conference on Saturday where he likened working for the company to the character Dumbo being trapped in “this horrible big circus.” “It’s gotten to be very homogenized, very consolidated. There’s less room for different types of things,” Burton said, according to Deadline. Burton noted that Disney is now largely focused on its tentpole franchises mainly within the Star Wars and Marvel cinematic universes and of his potential involvement in the MCU in the future, he said chances were slim. While it's true that Disney has been playing it close to the vest (when like 33% of your revenue takes a hit because of a global pandemic, you start acting a little gun-shy) this is so ironic considering the number of pale protagonists Burton has highligh...

 

 

 Danny Haiphong on Tulsi Gabbard rationale for leaving the Democratic Party: The Democratic Party has ridden on the back of its Russiagate conspiracy theory to serve the repressive imperatives of the national security state and expand censorship. Democratic Party support for a New Cold War against Russia and China has greatly increased the chances of nuclear exchange. Gabbard’s decision to leave the Democratic Party would have been a welcome development if it were for these reasons alone. However, Gabbard’s overall message for leaving the Democratic Party risks discrediting this all too important task of the movement. The biggest problem (and there were many) with Gabbard’s statement is her citation of “anti-white” racism in the Democratic Party. While bemoaning “wokeness,” Gabbard plays into a racial politics that have zero basis in reality. President Joe Biden is the architect of the mass incarceration regime that targets Black Americans disproportionately for imprisonment and/or...

 Or in this case, the very definition of "antisemitism" so a state/country can be exempt . Imagine being called a racist for pointing out what America did abroad in reaction to 9/11. Or being called anti-Catholic for calling out how the Vatican played a part in covering up pedophilic priests.   How else can you respond to a stories about using " AI-powered guns at checkpoints " or " drones ?"

 The Democratic Party member who hopes to be the next Senator for Pennsylvania now says that he's always been for fracking .  Which makes him less aware than a comic book character:

...but when OPEC does it, they twiddle their fingers:

 Classy: Here's a longer version: Oh, and don't think the message wasn't received by the "jungle" nations because it was .

 Celebrity who gets mad when people respond to him giving unpopular takes in public decides to by a social media platform that will allow him to give even more unpopular take in public . 

 

 Hint: like everything that was halfway decent in America, Nixon and Reagan got involved and then...

 Case-in-point: an explosion at Northeastern University was possible caused by it's only victim : A Texas man has been arrested in connection with what authorities say was a false claim about an explosion at a virtual reality lab at Northeastern University in Boston last month. The alleged hoax triggered a massive response from law enforcement, including Boston Police and FBI bomb squads, and it forced the evacuation of a large part of the campus. But authorities say the whole thing was a hoax perpetrated by 45-year-old Jason Duhaime, who worked at the lab. Duhaime, who was then the new technology manager and director of the Immersive Media Lab at Northeastern University, allegedly called 911 on Sept. 13 to report that a package had blown up in the lab and injured him. He repeated the story to investigators, according to the affidavit, saying that he opened a hard plastic case that came in the mail, and "all this energy, and like these things come flying out." But authori...

 Sabby Sabs breaks it down:

  But it won't prevent people from trying : The Biden administration launched a full-scale pressure campaign in a last-ditch effort to dissuade Middle Eastern allies from dramatically cutting oil production, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. But that effort appears to have failed, following Wednesday’s crucial meeting of OPEC+, the international cartel of oil producers that, as expected, announced a significant cut to output in an effort to raise oil prices. That in turn will likely cause US gasoline prices to rise at a precarious time for the Biden administration, just five weeks before the midterm elections. On Wednesday morning, OPEC+ oil ministers meeting in Vienna agreed to an even larger production cut than the White House had feared — 2 million barrels per day, beginning in November, according to a readout of the meeting released on Wednesday. The ministers said the cuts were necessary “in light of the uncertainty that surrounds the global economic and ...
