Could Vladimir Putin Be As Clueless As

Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, the Western intelligentsia has been busy portraying Vladimir Putin as a man who, unlike, say Lyin’ Joe Biden or Rachel Levine or your local drag queen, has transgressed all the bounds of decency. He’s an authoritarian. He’s an imperialist. He’s an autocrat. He’s a new Hitler. But while the media and numerous government officials have not hesitated to portray Putin as evil incarnate, one would be hard-pressed to find anyone claiming that he is stupid. Few people, if anyone, doubt that he is as shrewd as he is ruthless, as thoughtful as he is menacing. Putin himself, however, has just put a massive dent

Am not an authority but I think Putin doesn't use cue cards or shake hands with invisible people. He misjudged the will of the Ukrainian people and over estimated his military might. But, I'd take him over Old Yeller any day.

Islam has been the biggest threat to civilization and freedom EVER in history, and this has been true for 1,400 years. Misidentifying your enemy is a fundamental, existential error.

Geez, this "author" is one huge pillow biter. You have to go back to Victoria Nuland's overthrow of the Ukrainian government to see how things went south so quickly. They installed Zelensky, the comedian, just the way they installed Captain Pantload here in the USA. The citizens of Donbass were being threatened by Kiev and voted to return to the Motherland and so Putin waged war to bring them back. Do you not see (Get it? KNOT SEE) the arm patches on the Ukrainian uniforms? The corrupt Ukraine has a money laundering system unlike any other. How do you think the Kenyan bought his Martha's Vineyard home? Or why Captain Pantload owns a beach front palace? It's the grift. Why did Victoria Nuland quit? When Putin scores his win, will he expose the US Bio Labs in Ukraine? The paybacks to US officials? They're sweating bullets in the house of the Kenyan. Russia will not back down.

No one is as dumb and fraudulent as the bidet. Putin is not and will never be the laughingstock of the world that the serial liar is. # 6 makes valid points! Wake up America, the country is going down the drain. We are being destroyed from the inside and the outside with an absolute moron in the WH bathroom who does not know where he is.

Putin resurrected Russia from its collapse and rebuilt its military, finances and industry, a task which would be impossible for the US due to its fragmented and adversarial political system as well as decades of clueless and incompetent leadership at best, venal, narcissistic and politically corrupt at worst. By comparison, US leadership is junior varsity, Putin is major league. No US leader this century has any comparable political and practical experience compared to Putin. No one will remember or care to remember the likes Biden or any other recent presidents. Putin is now an historical figure permanently etched into Russian and world history. You don’t have like him to acknowledge his impact on Russia and the world. He has shown himself to be a strong counterpoint to Western adventurism.

Judge Kaplan: SBF wanted to be a 'hugely, hugely politically influential person' Kaplan says many facts are not disputed, including that SBF had "an exceptionally privileged background." "He is extremely smart. And he suffers from autism," Kaplan said, noting his understanding of the condition. Kaplan said SBF "is capable of huge accomplishments" while noting he has "a way of interacting with people that’s unusual and sometimes off-putting." Kaplan agreed with prosecutors' claim that Bankman-Fried "wanted to be a hugely, hugely politically influential person in this country," and that that propelled his financial crimes.

Despite mail-in voting and ballot harvesting and a host of other perfectly legal ways to tilt the playing field, could Old Joe Biden actually lose in November? If a Tuesday New York Times story is to be believed, the answer is a resounding yes, and among the most worried is the senescent corruptocrat’s old friend and mentor, Barack Obama. “Old friend and mentor,” as is well known, is largely an image manufactured for public consumption. Obama has actually taken the measure of his aged former wingman, and has famously warned: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up.” If the Times story is accurate, and not just another signal

NEW YORK, March 28 - Sam Bankman-Fried, the former billionaire cryptocurrency wunderkind, is set to be sentenced on Thursday over his conviction for stealing $8 billion from customers of the now-bankrupt FTX exchange he founded. Bankman-Fried, 32, faces the prospect of decades behind bars after a jury found him guilty in November on seven fraud and conspiracy counts. His sentencing is due to start at 9:30 a.m. EDT (1330 GMT) before U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan. The hearing will mark the culmination of Bankman-Fried's downfall from an ultra-wealthy cryptocurrency entrepreneur and major political donor to U.S. authorities' biggest trophy to date in a crackdown on malfeasance in digital asset markets.

We reported earlier on the horrible Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse that was precipitated by a cargo ship hitting it early Tuesday morning. Two people were rescued from the water, but there were reportedly six construction workers still missing at the last update. (X) Now Joe Biden has weighed in on the bridge collapse, slurring throughout his remarks. He said that eight were still missing. He said it was an accident, and there was "no other indication" that it was anything other than an accident at this point. (X) Yet, there was no rail line over the bridge. Once again, Biden seemed confused. It seemed to be

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Back in the numb, dark days of early 2021, we all knew we weren't going to enjoy Joe Biden's tenure in the White House. It was, however, difficult to imagine just how much havoc Biden and the DOCTOR Missus could wreak. Biden was never a standout in his other two Beltway gigs, but he couldn't issue executive orders then. Throw in Madame VEEP and it's a real hotbed of Keystone Cops action there at the top.

What’s coming is as plain as day. Our nation can hardly be said to have a southern border at all anymore. Even if the border were magically to reappear tomorrow, millions of people are already in the country without anyone knowing who or what they are. One hundred sixty-nine people on the FBI’s terror watch list were caught at the border in 2023; nobody knows how many people on that watch list got across the nonexistent border without being caught. Four jihadis just murdered at least 137 people in Moscow. They held the same beliefs as the Hamas jihadis who murdered 1,200 people in Israel on Oct. 7.

Is the Black Sea Fleet no more? Recent attacks by drones and missiles have whittled it down to a shadow of its former self. Grant Shapps, the UK secretary of state for defense, said, "Putin's continued illegal occupation of Ukraine is exacting a massive cost on Russia's Black Sea Fleet which is now functionally inactive. Russia has sailed the Black Sea since 1783 but is now forced to constrain its fleet to port. And even there Putin's ships are sinking!" But does the fleet actually matter anymore to Russia's overall mission against Ukraine and any potential war versus NATO? Some analysts have argued that Russia has

As a former associate of Hunter Biden, he has been spilling the tea about the Biden family’s business dealings, which isn’t sitting well with folks on the left. They responded to his involvement with House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden by doing their level best to smear and discredit the witness. However, Bobulinski has been fighting back. Jessica Tarlov, a left-leaning co-host on Fox News’ “The Five,” stepped in it on Wednesday when she claimed, without evidence, that Bobulinski was being funded by Super PAC aligned with former President Donald Trump during a recent broadcast.

The promise from the Transportation Secretary comes after President Joe Biden vowed the day the Francis Scott Bridge went down into the Patapsco River that the federal government would foot the bill for reconstruction. The 1.6-mile bridge partially collapsed after a cargo shipping container vessel crashed into one of its support structures just before 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

Former Representative Liz Cheney issued a warning to the United States Supreme Court about its handling of former President Donald Trump's claims of presidential immunity. The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments into Trump's immunity claims on April 25. His legal team has argued presidential immunity should shield Trump from being charged in the Department of Justice (DOJ) case surrounding alleged attempts at thwarting the 2020 election results. The DOJ last year charged the former president with attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, culminating in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, as well as alleged efforts to

The pretense is wearing thin. And who knew that Ronna McDaniel of all people would be the breaking point? But it’s kind of like the way that the media’s attacks on dishwater liberals like McCain and Romney, portraying them as Hitler 2.0 just because they posed a threat to Obama, helped kill the media’s credibility.

The United States' top intelligence agency wants to ban its spies from using "biased language," including the terms "radical Islamists" and "jihadist," saying these words "are hurtful to Muslim-Americans and detrimentally impact our efforts as they bolster extremist rhetoric," according to a language guide published internally. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), which is responsible for handling the country's spy apparatus, seeks to ban a range of common terms because it says they offend Muslims and foment racism against employees. In addition to terms describing Islamic terrorists, ODNI instructs employees to avoid phrases such as "blacklisted," "cakewalk," "brown bag," "grandfathered," and "sanity check."

Engineers have blamed the deadly collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key bridge on a design flaw that is present in tens of thousands of US bridges. Several experts told DailyMail.com that the Maryland bridge was missing critical protection systems that would have stopped the the nearly 105,000 ton container ship from smashing into the bridge's support. The Francis Scott Key Bridge was built in 1977 and anti-collision devices like fenders or protection cells were not introduced until the 1980s.

President Joe Biden is being pressed to use the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore as an opportunity to remedy alleged racial discrimination against blacks in the construction industry. Biden said this week that he had told his administration officials to “move heaven and earth” to reopen the port of Baltimore and rebuild the bridge. The reconstruction efforts, however, may be complicated by demands that the project further leftwing ideas about racial justice, the treatment of immigrants, climate change, and wealth redistribution. An op-ed in The Hill underscores that some of these demands may be irreconcilable.

The following essay is adapted from the author’s new book, Pagan America: The Decline of Christianity and the Dark Age to Come. It’s hard to survey the state of our country and not conclude that something is very wrong in America. I don’t just mean with our economy or the border or rampant crime in our cities, but with our basic grasp on reality itself. Our cultural and political elite now insist that men can become women, and vice versa, and that even children can consent to what they euphemistically call “gender-affirming care.”
