Modern Russia has become a death cult and a terror state. Even its children are being indoctrinated into a world of perpetual war. Only its total defeat in Ukraine will destroy this imperialist virus. And only then will Europe be able to build a real security structure.

Putin has lost nearly half his army in Donbas
Nearly 40% of all Russian military deaths have occurred in battles for Avdiivka, Pokrovsk and Bakhmut.
According to the Financial Times, more than 120,000 Russian troops were killed near Avdiivka and Pokrovsk, with another 48,000 killed near Bakhmut.
Combined, these figures account for approximately 37% of all Russian military deaths in the war, which the FT estimates at between 450,000 and 464,000 at a minimum.
The publication estimates that, including unreported deaths, the total number of Russian troops killed could have reached 550,000 by August 2026.
If the current rate continues, the figure could rise to 650,000 by the end of the year.
The figure of 1.2 million Russian casualties published by the US-based CSIS in January 2026 includes not only those killed but also wounded and missing personnel.
These figures are approximate estimates. The actual death toll could be higher.

Absolutely insane stat: The U.S. has added over $1.1 trillion to the national debt in just the past 4 months.

MAGA is big mad that the City of Delray Beach will not host its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade because of the new Florida Senate law on DEI that prevents local governments from funding or promoting events on ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
Peak FAFO.

nah, this is what happens when you think diversity only means black people.
This is what happens when you let bigots write laws.
Florida’s anti-DEI law just came back to bite them in the ass. They were so busy trying to cancel everybody else’s culture, they ended up canceling their own parade. Oops.
📌 Delray Beach can no longer sponsor its beloved St. Patrick’s Day Parade because celebrating Irish heritage falls under the state’s sweeping restrictions on ethnicity-based programs.

It’s a white supremacist militia at this point and needs to be torn down and abolished.
There is no ‘reforming’ this.

A “threat” to conduct oversight in accordance with Congress’s inherent and historic power under Article I is criminal.
That’s simply moronic.
Q: President Trump said Liz Cheney should go to jail and Adam Schiff should go to prison. He declared Barack Obama guilty of treason. What specifically have Democrats said that crosses a criminal line in your view that the President’s statements don’t?
Blanche: Free speech is allowed but there can come a point when a criticism becomes a threat and when a threat becomes something criminal.

She gave her valedictorian speech, then ICE detained her.
Maria Flores Garcia, a 19-year-old student at the University of Maryland, was detained with her mother by ICE officers during a routine immigration check-in.
Her loved ones fear she and her mother will be deported to a country where they know no one. wapo.st/48djWYU

Why did trump do nothing when told Jensen Huang was having an affair with a Chinese spy that wanted AI chips? Because trump cares more about his damn @WhiteHouse ballroom than he does about American national security.
Nvidia made at least a $25 million donation to the ballroom.
If the NYT/WSJ timelines are correct …
When Jensen Huang joined the president on Air Force One to go to China in 2025 and attended the White House state dinner with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in September, Trump had already been told that Huang was sleeping with a suspected Chinese spy, and his administration was already investigating an illegal relationship between the spy’s company and the Chinese Communist Party

Jensen Huang is effectively OUT of NVIDIA🚨
Man His wife is 65 years 🇺🇸
They have been married for 41 years.
As early microchip designers, she reportedly earned more money
She totally left engineering work to raise their two children while Jensen Huang built Nvidia
She was one of only three women in a class of 250 electrical-engineering students at Oregon State University when she and Jensen met.
Jensen was 17 years when he walked up to the 19 year old Lori (his wife) and asked
"Do you want to see my homework?"
He promised that if they studied together every Sunday she would get straight A's, turning homework sessions into weekly dates.
He also told her he would be a CEO by age 30. A promise he kept when he co-founded Nvidia in 1993.
Jensen has repeatedly called meeting her "the most important, single event of Oregon university, and of my life"
They married in 1985, the same year she graduated with her electrical-engineering degree.
In 2022 the couple gave $50 million to Oregon State University (the campus where they met) to create a major innovation complex named after both of them.
Jensen has said he does "zero percent" of his own shopping and that Lori (with their daughter) chooses his clothes, including the signature black leather jacket.
He has publicly credited her with being "part of Nvidia every step of the way" and with handling the personal and financial details of their life.
It's quite sad what is happening currently and how shattered Lori Huang must be.

Microsoft has laid off thousands of employees while investing billions in AI. Now Outlook goes down, and everyone is depending on human engineers to get things running again.
It’s interesting how companies keep talking about replacing people until something breaks and they need people to fix it.
