Sobering....from Steve Schmidt (from Post)
https://post.news/article/2KV55dWqiVPbptbBVZ8fw8KUKOpIt's also on his substack.
"The Age of Delusion is Cracking"
A great convocation of the lost, out of touch and confused is taking place in a Swiss mountain resort that represents Earths largest gathering of plutocrats, media stenographers, corrupt foreign ministers, heads of state, global autocrats, PR executives, CEOs and academics. The bacchanalia styles itself the World Economic Forum, but is better known by its more famous nickname, Davos.
It is the supercilious domain of performative climate warriors whose self-importance is great. Their presence for conversation is so essential that their private planes are needed for fighting climate change, by transporting a billionaire with a messiah complex and a plan for banning your natural gas stove top.
...
All I hope for is that out of this dysfunction emerges something better.
I often wonder...are these the good old days?

their pride and joy.

It is truly each person for themselves, I fear.
The "election" of tfg was the harbinger. Truly an anti-christ. Look what he has unleashed.
A new world will need to evolve after this.
Sorry to be so dramatic.

What was the most important story in the United States yesterday?
It was this: the west is months away from a water crisis, and few in America are talking about it. It seems it didnt really come up during the Kari Lake insanity theater that counted as public debate in an American state in 2022. It ranked number five on The Washington Post hierarchy of their The 7 daily email of top stories. It should have been number one, but at least the newspaper covered it. Regardless, the question from The Washington Post story that is at hand is this: what is the next town to lose its water supply because there is no more water? And, what happens when millions of people lose their electricity in the third decade of the twenty-first century in the United States?
Unsurprisingly, there was no mention about that at Davos today. I suppose because it was real.
It's not looking good for the big-brained apes.
