I follow John Mearsheimer and Glenn Greenwald for information on Ukraine and Gaza. Both are appalled by the media lies. Both say Ukraine has been destroyed in our proxy war against Russia. Both say Gaza is genocide/ethnic cleansing and that Israel has made itself a global pariah by doing this. Both are obviously right. Our msm is a corrupt farce that has no interest in truth and only mostly just promotes the lies of our ruling class.

Youtube is far more reliable fr the real news than The NYTimes or WaPo

Not YouTube in general but specific sites like Mearsheimer, Greenwald, Kim Iversen, Lena Petrova, Real Clear Politics and many others. The democrats have the quantity with their msm but we have the quality with sites like these.

I'd read the blogs or .com's of those but I already do too many hours on my Mac...

I have a TV (first one in 12 years) and it has youtube. I'm paying the Mexico price of $9 a month to rid it of commercials. No cable, no live anything; I get msnbc after it airs. A LOT of youtube. A proxy for PBS and those streaming only accessible in the USA. ..........

Mearsheimer is terrific! He does a lot of talks in Australia ... It's amazing how much they are tuned into US politics...like we're the greatest show in town.

I said for years that one HAS to pay attention to trump; he's the greatest show in town...(a horror show)...but now, I am hoping that Kamala will continue to be the better show in town.

But we ARE the greatest show on earth! Too bad we can't charge for tickets.

Just sent an email to vice.president@whitehouse.gov to encourage the Honorable Vice President Harris to read Matt's article on the Hoffman 'donation' and subsequent 'demand' to fire Lina Khan. I let her know it's important not to be seen as bending to the bullying tactics of corporate tyrants, and that I'm looking forward to her creating her own legacy in the White House. TRUMP MUST NOT WIN if we really believe in the Constitution and the American Experiment.

I’ve seen his talks from Australia. I think he even had one from India. We certainly do have a global civilization now. No denying that. I liked Vivek better than Trump in the primary. Super smart and a great debater. No denying though that Trump has so easily dealt with the years of the intense hate campaign waged against him. Not many people could have done that. Plus now he can also point to his “clipped-by-a-bullet” ear as proof that God is on his side. How many people can say that and point to their ear as proof? Maybe he should get that ear tattooed with red ink so people will always notice it and be reminded of this.
