While in the Democrat party there is barely any debate about following the Neocon dream of continued America world domination, with only a handful of dissenters on what’s left of the Left (Such as Chris Hedges), on the right there is definitely a fight going on between the Establishment Neocons and the American First crowd. I am embarrassed for the left. As I’ve said before, they have lost their way.

So Tucker Carlson has been purged from Fox News. It couldn’t be because of pressure from the pro-war Neocons, could it? Nah, Murdoch is above that, right? The NYT will cheer.

Captain Senility calls Xi a dictator. They should understand. The guy isn’t all there. But both Reps and Dems are on the same China-bashing page. As always, less and less my problem every day. Are the millennials etc. on board for this? Maybe they need a big war to show them what is really important. That will solve the “male crisis”.

All the MSM is marching in lockstep on Zelensky’s Making the World Safe for Democracy narrative. The Neo York Times, Neocon Public Radio, the WSJ, The Economist, Foreign Affairs. Foreign Affairs is so bold as to have a cover article titled “The Desperation of the Dictators”, which I assume to mean Xi and Putin. Why spend 15 bucks on what I expect is a tired and predictable attack on them? Gosh, they are really sticking their neck out by being anti-dictator. I don’t think journalism has been this bad since Baby Bush lied us into the invasion of Iraq and the press looked the other way. By the way, the UN, which has historically been a tool of US foreign policy, is giving Zelensky’s sermons standing ovations. Yawn. Why is it even still around? It’s useless. Been that way since it put the seal of approval on Truman’s invasion of Korea.

Alas, some lawmakers have gotten out of step with our foreign policy consensus. I’ve said for awhile that the only thing that could threaten our meddling in everyone else’s business worldwide is if we go broke. Well, some lawmakers think we are there. Can we really afford to throw more billions down the Ukrainian rathole? I oppose supporting Ukraine for other reasons but if it’s the cost so be it. Can the Neocon Establishment overcome the naysayers? Probably. Captain Senility is scheduled to make a speech to drum up support for his bro Zelensky. But soon he will have to be making his pitch on the campaign trail, if he can be propped up by his handlers that long. He is definitely attached to a Cold War mindset like most Boomers.

Apparently some dissent is actually rising over the State Department’s unquestioning support for what Israel is doing, enough for Blinken to have to issue a memo addressing the subject. From the NYT: “ U.S. officials say that while differing opinions and fresh perspectives are welcome, employees at the State Department and elsewhere in the government must accept and implement policy set at senior levels.”. In other words, shut the eff up, minions.

Ha-ha! The rise of the America Firsters in our politics has meant the demise of our 70+ year foreign policy consensus. We were united in our anti-Communism and “War on Terror” but now…

The consensus continues to fray, thank God. Republican Senators met with war criminal Netanyahu to kiss his ring after Shu mer criticized him. It should be fun to watch what them Dems do during Trump 2.0 when Trumpy joins in the pandering to Zionism. Maybe Democrats will see the light about America’s unconditional support of Israel.

So the GOP’s latest Speaker is now planning to give into the Bidenistas and pump more money into the Ukraine to prolong the war. Despite Trump, it appears the Neocons still rule the roost in both parties. How many billions are American taxpayers going to have to kiss goodbye this time? Once again, I’m not going to have to pay it off, just you dumb ass Millennials etc.Makes me laugh. Meanwhile, more arms are flowing into Israel to help with their ethnic cleansing.

There seems to be fracturing of the pro-Israel consensus in the U.S. Its about time. Maybe it’s only on campuses, but it appears with show-boating by Congressional dufuses.
