i recently posted this video suspecting it was billy bob and here is more on the subject;

A scene from Billy Bob Thornton’s new show is going viral after striking a chord with Americans skeptical of the green energy racket.

The clip went so viral that it apparently ruffled the feathers of the president behind a powerful green energy trade association, prompting him to pen a long-winded and desperate mockery of the show in response.

The video, taken from the the third episode of the first season of “Landman,” gained tens of millions of views across social media after its Sunday airing.

In the scene, Thornton, the lead actor in the show, savages wind turbines as an inefficient power source heavily reliant on the petrochemical industry.

“Do you have any idea how much diesel they had to burn to mix that much concrete?” Thornton’s character, Tommy Norris, asked Rebecca Falcone, played by Kayla Wallace, regarding the turbines surrounding them.

“Or make that steel and haul this s*** out here and put it together with a 450-foot crane?”

It’s not just the raw materials or the petroleum-chugging supply chain needed to shape and put them in place that Thornton’s character called out; he also savaged the long-term demand of the alternative energy.

“You want to guess how much oil it takes to lubricate that f***ing thing? Or winterize it?” Thornton’s character asked. “In its 20-year lifespan, it won’t offset the carbon footprint of making it.”..........more.........

 you may have trouble believing this but apparently the empire has been paying for the invaders expenses for the biden years of enabled invasion;

More than half a billion dollars in U.S. taxpayer cash is shipped off to America’s illegal migrants every two-to-three months via a convoluted scheme involving non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the corrupt Joe Biden regime, and other powerful deep state players.

A guy on X / Twitter named “ColoradoKevin” (@ColoradoKevin3) conducted extensive research into claims that $600 million is funneled through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other entities pretty much quarterly to NGOs like the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which spends lots of U.S. taxpayer cash paying for food, water, shelter, and transportation for illegal migrants waiting for their court hearings.

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has allocated substantial amounts to support services for migrants, including a recent announcement of $380 million through the Shelter and Services Program (SSP) to assist communities providing critical support like food, shelter, and transportation for migrants awaiting immigration proceedings,” ColoradoKevin explains.

“In fiscal year 2023, more than $780 million was awarded to organizations and municipalities to help manage the influx of migrants. This includes previous allocations such as $259.13 million distributed earlier in the year. Therefore, when considering the frequency and total amounts, it is plausible that funding could approach or exceed $600 million within a short timeframe if multiple grants are considered.”

 we will lose the war we've started against the russians for too many reasons to list;

I never cease to be amazed by the pervasive belief that the US military is superior to any other on the planet. Upon what basis is this faith founded? The US has not engaged in a real war since Korea. No one in the US military has ANY experience with high-intensity conflict. Will Schryver, military analyst

If the United States launches a nuclear “decapitation” strike on Russia that kills President Putin and his Generals, Russia has a backup system in place that will automatically retaliate. The Dead Hand system is designed to collect data from sensors scattered across Russia on radiation, heat and seismic activity confirming a nuclear strike. If the system does not receive instructions from Moscow’s Command Center with a given period of time, the system will autonomously launch 4,000 tactical and strategic intercontinental ballistic missiles at the United States ensuring the complete destruction of the country and the incineration of hundreds of millions of Americans. Moscow’s message is simple: “Even if a preemptive strike takes out our leaders, our ‘dead hand’ will still kill you all.” Dead Hand, Planet Report

Most Americans continue to believe that the United States will prevail in a conventional war with Russia. But that is simply not the case. For starters, Russia’s state-of-the-art missile technology and missile defense systems are vastly superior to those produced by western weapons manufacturers. Secondly, Russia can field an army of more than 1 million battle-hardened combat troops who have experienced high-intensity warfare and are prepared to engage whatever enemy they may face in the future. Third, the United States no longer has the industrial capacity to match Russia’s impressive output of lethal weaponry, artillery shells, ammunition, and cutting-edge ballistic missiles. In short, Russian military capability far exceeds that of the US in the areas that really count: High-tech weaponry, military industrial capacity, and experienced manpower. In order to drive this overall point home, I’ve taken excerpts from the work of three military analysts who explain these matters in greater detail underscoring the dramatic shortcomings of the modern US military and the problems it is likely to encounter when faced with a more technologically advanced and formidable adversary. The first excerpt is from an article by Alex Vershinin titled The Return of Industrial Warfare:...........more........

 larry johnson has a large collection of things to post and speak about this morning;

I figured it was time for a Samuel Beckett reference. Unlike his play, Waiting for Godot, where the mythical Godot never shows up, I think Putin and his General Staff are serious about a repeat performance of the Oreshnik missile. Putin briefed the members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) on Russia’s latest military operations and weapons:

In response to attacks of the Kiev regime to the depth of the Russian territory, over the past week, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation delivered strikes at deployment sites of the AFU long-range weaponry. In total, over the past few days, 100 missiles of different types and 466 Geran-2 unmanned aerial vehicles, including 90 missiles and 100 Geran-2 unmanned aerial vehicles used during the combined strike, hit 17 crucial objects of Ukrainian defence industry.

During a subsequent press conference at the close of the CSTO, a reporter asked Putin if Russia was going to hit “decision making centers” in Kiev. Putin responded by citing an old Russian joke about the weather, “today, everything is possible.” (The clip appears in the first minutes of Alex Christoforou’s video brief today):........more........

 the putin speaks. you might want to hear what those in charge here don't like you hearing;

During an appearance in Kazakhstan today, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a press conference with Russian journalists who asked questions about the current conflict with Ukraine.

Before getting to the video, it is worth mentioning that our western viewpoint of Russia respecting strength; is not entirely accurate. There is something Russians respect more than strength, brutal honesty.

One of the things that separates Russians from their eastern European counterparts, is their keen ability to detect and dismiss bullshit. If you watch Russian engagement, from either inside or outside of Russia, their non pretending is truly an artform. Even the silent space between their words is something remarkable to watch.

In this first video segment, Russian President Putin is asked about the motives of outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden to escalate the NATO conflict with Russia. President Putin responds by outlining genuine, factual and honest motives that political pundits in the USA pretend not to know.  It’s fascinating to watch:..........more..........
