It is said that Joseph Stalin once stated: “Quantity has a quality all it’s own” ….meaning that large numbers of less well trained and/or equipped fighters can be an effective, if inefficient, fighting force, often able to overwhelm, if not outfight, a better trained or equipped one.

We are seeing the opposite today, in that the Ukrainian army is, if not winning against, is at least acquitting itself well against the Russian army…..which appears to be larger, but not as well trained, nor as well led…..They may well have MORE people, but the Russians do not appear to be winning as well as they should. Poor leadership, unmotivated troops, poorly maintained equipment, poor logistics…..poor performance.

Of course, the Ukrainans are fighting for their homeland, so better motivation may well play a very large part.

Indeed, it would appear that in today’s world, better training, properly maintained equipment (and a decent logistics plan) will win the day….as opposed to a largely untrained army with corrupt and inept commanders.

Start a “Foundation”

Get suckers donors to give it money. Possibly give these donors some consideration in other business dealings since you are a connected government official yourself.

Spend most of the donations to pay salaries of the “Directors”…many of whom do little or nothing for the salaries…but who are connected and often influential government people or other powerful and influential folks. Plus, of course, your family members.

One hand washes the other, as they say….

Beau Biden Foundation raked in nearly $4M in 2020 but only used $550,000 on the charity’s mission of preventing child abuse: Spent more money on six-figure salaries, tax filings show.

Look at how well it worked for the Clinton Foundation in Hati…..

Fox News is biased. (Very).

CNN (was) biased. Extremely so. But for the most part, they either told the (slanted) truth or simply did not report things when it made the Left look bad.

Today, and for much of the past 8 or more years, the NYTimes and most Major Media (CBS/NBC/ABC/LATimes, etc) have spouted outright lies (See also the Biden laptop story (“Russian Disinformation!”), the “Steele Report”, Hillary’s private server, Trump’s taxes, etc) in order to make the DNC and the Biden administration look as good as they can, and any opposition look as bad as they can portray them.

There is a difference between “Biased” and “Lying”. Slanted news is nothing new. Outright lying seems to be a new phenomenon.

How much information, data and Truths have been suppressed by the Media? How many “Conspiracy Theories” have become facts in the past 3 years?

I fully expect that the Left and the Media (but, again, I repeat myself) to call for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign.

Why, you ask? Because somehow the Jan 6th investigation “turned up” texts and possibly other communications between Virginia Thomas, (his wife) and Mark Meadows, Trump’s Chief of Staff.

Bet on it. They will use this as a wedge issue to attempt to pry Thomas out of his seat in order to appoint a more Liberal activist judge. I fully expect them to ramp this up as soon as the current confirmation hearing is over and a vote is taken.

ETA 11:30 Central: Well, that took less time than I expected.

Seems Trump is suing both Hillary Clinton and the DNC for their defamation regarding Russiagate. 

He ought to include the “Major Media ” as well.

More from Sky News:

So my Doc says “You should drink more”

Me: “Jesus, Doc, if I drink any more I won’t be able to drive…I can barely walk as it is”

She just looked at me and shook her head.

While 2 years ago, and even one year ago, there were a plethora of Biden-Harris bumper stickers on cars, now, suddenly, there are none.

Funny how that works. People not infected with Liberalism knew what was gonna happen, if not on this accelerated timeline….I just cannot understand why the Liberals don’t see it. Biden’s policies have made life difficult and have led the US to a mess. Any non-Liberal could see where our economy would go, where energy prices would go, and how badly our foreign policy would become. But, hey, they voted and were proud of it.

But, apparently, they are embarrassed by their boy….or afraid (needlessly, it is mostly only Liberals that do cowardly attacks of vandalism) of reprisals for their support of Slow Joe and his agenda.

I get a LOT of positive comments on my “Let’s go Brandon” stickers on the truck and car, however.

Yeah, it is staged, and yeah, it is a commercial designed to sell beer.

But still.

Service Never Stops

I don’t drink beer, but I may have to go find a store and buy some, just because.

Quite often result in someone shooting into a crowd. Not all groups, by any means, but many.

Happens in Chicago nearly every weekend…..often at a party. Or a nightclub…Someone wants to settle a score, and shoots at his rival…often into a crowd. Sprays bullets around and shoots innocents. Or even on crowded streets.  Then again later in the week at a funeral, when some character takes another opportunity to settle a grudge.

It also happens at car shows for youth in Arkansas. In broad daylight

And, like Chicago, the shooters don’t care who they hit (or the simply cannot be bothered to aim) and people simply there for a good time are shot and killed.

What is it about a culture where it is acceptable to shoot into a crowd of innocents to settle a grudge? This isn’t a bunch of Amish yoots. Random shooting into crowds to settle a gang issue is almost exclusively a black thing. Why is that acceptable in that culture?

(Not so say that other cultures don’t have issues, mind you, but there is often violence when groups of black people gather). Why is that?
