It is - unfortunately - not "overwhelmingly positive".

55% want to continue or increase support. Barely a majority.

And it doesn't even say anything about how important this is to them compared to domestic issues. Enough to influence the way they vote?

Yougov Survey: 34% of U.S. adult citizens would increase military aid to Ukraine (including 54% of Democrats saying this), while 21% would maintain the same amount of aid, 11% would decrease aid, and 16% would stop it altogether

It may only be a minority that actively supports giving territory to Russia, but pool it with the people who do not care - and the conclusion is clear: supporting Ukraine is a minority opinion in the US.

A reality check for us in Europe, but European security is not a priority for the US public.
Bro. Maybe she's just not that into you.

Jeg har været lidt nede i det kaninhul. Den gamle kongres ophører med at eksistere den 3. januar. Den nye kongres kommer automatisk i eksistens samme dag kl 12. Medlemmerne kan derefter selv organisere sig.

Kun den nye kongres kan bedømme valgets validitet. Ikke retten. Ikke den gamle kongres.

Section 2 The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall begin at noon on the 3d day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day. US Constitution article 1.

I think you are kinda forgetting this list of military expenditure per country.

Venezuela will just join the list of countries attacked by the United States.

Of course, there might be attacks in the United States by irregular forces (i.e. terrorist attacks) - but only the US public can stop this.
List of military expenditures by country. Showing the United States spending 968 billion dollars on defence. Much higher than anyone else

NATO is dead.
Time for Europe to step up.
Existing and future European security guarantees from the current United States administration, including a potential response to a NATO Article V declaration, are unlikely to be supported.

Meget "on brand" udtalelse for Tesla entusiaster.

Der er dog en fordel for den "stakkels" fyr. Han har nu købt en Tesla - uden at han behøver køre rundt i den og blive til grin 🤷
Den 38-årige afprøvede Teslaen, da han interesserer sig for deres modeller, men havde ikke planer om at købe en lige nu, da han ikke har penge til det.

Klimabenægter?

Her er hans egne ord. Men det giver selvfølgelig ikke helt lige så mange kliks...
To be clear: Climate change is a very important problem. It needs to be solved, along with other problems like malaria and malnutrition. Every tenth of a degree of heating that we prevent is hugely beneficial because a stable climate makes it easier to improve people’s lives.

Ren tilståelsessag.

"Liberal" alliance vedkender sig nu åbent deres (christo-)konservative ideologiske udgangspunkt.

Det er jo fair nok, men kunne de ikke i det mindste ændre navnet?

www.altinget.dk/artikel/la-s...
Vi i Liberal Alliance har fået en større respekt for det, der allerede er, og for de institutioner, som bærer vores kultur og frihed. Danmark er ikke et samfund, man bygger fra bunden. Det er et fællesskab, vi har arvet, og som vi skal værne om.

Elon saying the quiet part out load (again).

Even though Tesla profits tumbled, it's a profound embarrassment for the entire Western world that Tesla revenues is growing.

Imagine driving around in a Tesla in 2025! How embarrassing is that?

Forklar mig - som om jeg var 5 år gammel - hvordan en cand.mag. kan smykke sig med titlen "censor i Folkesundhedsvidenskab
og Molekylær biomedicin".

Kan det tænkes, at han blot er censor i videnskabsteori, men får det til at lyde som om, han rent faktisk har forstand på medicin og sundhed? 🤔

"Mediebilledet bliver ikke mindre mangfoldigt" siger han... uden at underbygge det.

Kan godt være at titlerne fortsætter, men erfaringerne fra USA viser, hvad der sker, når redaktionel frihed kolliderer med økonomisk realitet.

Kommer en koncern under pres, rammer det den fulde portefølje af medier
Medierne samler sig på lidt færre store mediehuse, der bliver lidt større. Men det betyder ikke nødvendigvis, at mediebilledet bliver mindre mangfoldigt, siger Aske Kammer

Det jeg primært ikke forstår er, hvordan journalister og kommentatorer stadig leder efter mulige geostrategiske rationaler på de her beslutninger, når den simple forklaring er hovmod og korruption.
Occam's razor is a principle often attributed to 14th–century friar William of Ockham that says that if you have two competing ideas to explain the same phenomenon, you should prefer the simpler one.

Der findes folk, der står op hver dag, og skriver seriøse artikler på basis af ord, der er kommet ud af denne mands mund.

I'm also completely off broadcast media, but traditional tv is still a very big deal.

Also, it looks like streaming viewers watch other types of content - so I suspect most of the late night talk show viewers are "offline".

Helt enig i at det ikke behøver være Tomahawk.

Hellere en skibsbaseret Flamingo "with love from Kiev".

Det tyder på, at drabet på Charlie Kirk var en udløber af The Groyper Wars. En form for højre-ekstrem borgerkrig.

De budskaber han efterlod var ikke trans, men henvisninger til Groypers og spillet Helldivers 2.

Indgang til kaninhul:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groypers

(Klik bare. Det er weekend...)
Groyper War In the fall of 2019, Charlie Kirk launched a college speaking tour with Turning Point USA titled "Culture War", featuring himself and guests such as Rand Paul, Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Lara Trump, and Dan Crenshaw. In retaliation for the firing of St. Clair and the Politicon incident, Fuentes began organizing a social media campaign asking his followers to go to Kirk's events and ask provocative and controversial leading questions about his stances on immigration, Israel, and LGBT rights to expose Kirk as a "fake conservative". At a Culture War event hosted by Ohio State University on October 29, 11 out of 14 questions were asked by Groypers. Their questions included "Can you prove that our white European ideals will be maintained if the country is no longer made up of white European descendants?". They asked Kirk's co-host Rob Smith, a gay, black Iraq War veteran, "How does anal sex help us win the culture war?"[better source needed] Fuentes's social media campaign against Kirk became known as the "Groyper Wars"
