"Pushing through" the Omicron wave is Scott Morrison's new catchphrase (rather than "letting it rip").

That's the reason why there is a rat and why all the Aussie cartoonists have been doing rat puns in their cartoons about the difficulty of getting your hands on a test. Just throwing in a rat labelled "rat" is pushing it.

Mentioning Dr. Fauci in an Aussie cartoon however is a dead giveaway about the particular sources the cartoonist is poisoning their brain with.

As someone who buys groceries weekly.... what are they talking about?

I just went grocery shopping at the Food Lion here in southern central VA a few hours ago and the shelves actually were a bit more empty than usual. Not completely empty, but some bare spots here and there. Notably the barest shelves were instant ramen and bread, which were practically completely empty. Frozen chicken was also pretty slim pickings, as was bottled water and milk.

Though to be fair, we had a winter storm pass through here over the weekend and BUY ALL THE BREAD AND MILK is the number one response to weather reports mentioning the word "snow" in this part of the country. And the shelves weren't completely bare, I just had a lot less selection, like having to buy the lovely expensive Dave's Bread because it was the only thing left, and getting regular chicken patties instead of the spicy ones. I think I'll live, though.

The lovely dollar general I tend to use has had about a quarter empty shelves for over a year now. What's missing changes but it ain't been fully stocked in that time

Then again that's the same one that the ac broke during an Alabama summer and the corporation didn't get repaired for half a month or so. I don't think the cpany care for that store to much in general

TWO DEMOCRATS THAT ARE NOT (THAT) INSANE

Standing in the way of the “Cheating Rights Bill,” the “Build Better Breadlines Bill,” and nuking the filibuster, are two Democrat senators, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer want to ram their radical wish list of communist polices through the Senate, but are being foiled by two of their own senators who apparently are putting the welfare of the country over the progressive power grab.

Who knew two Democrats would be the thin “blue” line against tyranny?

Thank goodness Manchin and Sinema are standing strong. They should be encouraged. The far left radicals have been harassing Senator Sinema ruthlessly trying to break her.

Senator Manchin’s approval rating has skyrocketed in his home state of West Virginia, apparently opposing the Biden regime’s agenda is very popular. Stand strong Senator Manchin, you may want to switch parties and help give the GOP a backbone.

Always keep in mind the ruthless communist Democrats never give up, they may lose the battle but always come back even more vengeful and determined to force their unpopular policies upon the country. Most Americans want nothing to do with the Democrat’s micro managing of their lives.

Biden’s approval rating is the lowest in history. Take away 10 points and you will have the real number, Kamala’s approval rating is even lower. Even the media is turning on Biden and waiting breathlessly to cheer the “change of batter” that is certain to be announced.

Will it be Hillary?

Expect the unexpected with the Democrats.

2022 has just begun but it looks to be a historic year with the epic failures of Biden and his puppet masters piling up. We need to encourage Senators Sinema and Manchin to keep holding the line.

Rall: If We Were on the Other Side of the Ukraine-Russia Crisis

Ted Rall posted:

First the United States and its allies pressure Russia by placing missiles in Poland, near its border. Then the West tries to expand NATO right up to the Russian border, by inviting Ukraine to join. When the Russians respond by massing troops along their own border, we have the unmitigated nerve to say that they are provoking us.

...But the US has invaded Mexico a bunch of times and stolen a whole lot of land from them. Texas used to be part of Mexico. There were, you know...wars? I'm making the tenuous presumption that Rall theoretically isn't in favor of that kind of thing. If we started massing troops on the Canadian and Mexican borders they'd have every reason to worry. It feels like he's trying to go "USA BAD TOO" at the same time he's trying to make Russia seem more sympathetic by...comparing them to the USA. And something something Nazi allies, which, as we all know, Russia would never have even considered allying with Nazi Germany.

there was a reasonable amount of collaboration between Ukrainian nationalists and nazi germany early in the eastern front out of a "oh god they're liberating us from the soviets" idea before it was obvious that like, the nazis hated the Ukrainians as much as they did the Russians, which lead had 5+ million Ukrainians taking up arms against the germans after they took control of much of the modern country, either directly in the red army or as partisans.



basically rall isn't 100% wrong, but he's clearly writing what his bosses at RT want him to instead of anything based on real history
