Never forget that the Speaker sent the House
home, instead of having them work on a
budget compromise, in order to avoid calls for
release of the Epstein files.

The Italian Government is tucking its tail between its legs & tip-toeing away..

"Italy has said it will stop tracking an international flotilla attempting to deliver aid to Gaza with a military vessel .. Once the convoy got within 150 nautical miles (278 km) of Gaza’s shoreline, the Italian frigate accompanying was set to stop, the Italian defence ministry said in a statement"

@stveje I think that the unwillingness of #NATO & #EU to answer #Russia|s #Aggression is a sign of "weakness" in the eyes of #Putin.

  • In fact I think that it's a sign of #cowardice not to put #Pershing-2 rockets into Finland, Poland, Estonia and Romania as well as issue a #NOTAM that any airborne vehicle, regardless if land, sea or air, that isn't approved in advance by authorities will be shot on sight without warning.

Otherwise this constant aggression and violation will continue...

  • I mean, ask #Ireland how often they get harrassed with Russian #Tu95 violating their airspace. They're so close in joining NATO if not setting up SAMs and AA turrets...

Personally, I'm flabberghasted amidst the unwarranted calmness in the face of aggressions, cuz Putin wouldn't wait for positive IDing an intruder but rather court-martial any Air Defense Soldier who didn't "start shooting and ask questions later"...

👹 "My study of history has led me to believe that there is a kind of dark matter inside the human race.

"It’s some combination of evil, cruelty, ignorance, cowardice, mob-ness. It is a kind of dark oppositional energy that goes from issue to issue, era to era."

ARMY RANGER CALLS OUT COWARDICE OF LAW FIRMS, UNIVERSITIES, CORPORATIONS, MEDIA BUT NOT THE PEOPLE

Heather Cox Richardson 9/19/25

ARMY RANGER CALLS OUT COWARDICE OF LAW FIRMS, UNIVERSITIES,
CORPORATIONS, MEDIA BUT NOT THE PEOPLE

And that was the rallying cry of Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) in
Congress yesterday.

Crow, who entered Congress in 2019, is a former Army Ranger who
completed three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was with
the 82nd Airborne Division and the 75th Ranger Regiment.

In his speech, Crow warned that Trump is tearing down the walls of
our democracy and called out “some of our most elite and powerful
individuals and institutions” for “failing to defend our democracy.” He
noted that “[s]Jome of our nation’s most powerful law firms have bent
the knee. Some of our finest universities are buckling. Some of the
most powerful CEOs have capitulated. And some of the largest media
companies are simply surrendering.”

“If those with power and influence want to sell off our rights and
freedoms to enrich themselves, then Americans should make it clear
that cowardice and greed will fail them,” he said.

“We will not shop at your stores. We will not tune into your TV and
radio stations. We will not send our kids and our money to your
universities, or use your services if you are going to enable our slide to
authoritarianism.”

Crow contrasted those elite failures with “the courage we've seen
from evervdav citizens”:

#CharlieKirk #SouthPark #SelfCensorship #cowardice

"South Park is taking an additional week off.

The Comedy Central series is skipping yet another week, with the cable network releasing the news on Wednesday, Sept. 17 — the same day as the new episode was supposed to air.

This time, however, the news came with a rare statement from creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone:

'Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don’t get it done. This one’s on us. We didn’t get it done in time. Thanks to Comedy Central and South Park fans for being so understanding. Tune in next week!'

(. . .)

The episode was particularly anticipated as it was the first one scheduled in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk being assassinated.

The reason for drawing a connection between those two seemingly disparate events is that South Park has been mocking President Trump and MAGA heavily during its 27th season, and during its second episode parodied Kirk specifically. So many have wondered how what the Comedy Central series would do next.

So many have wondered how what the Comedy Central series would do next.

Comedy Central even pulled that episode, titled 'Got a Nut,' from a planned repeat airing, though it’s still available on streaming on Paramount+.
The episode had Eric Cartman becoming a right-wing podcaster in the style of Kirk, who tours college campuses debating progressive students. 'Who wants to debate the master debater?' demanded Cartman, who also took on Kirk’s hairstyle and later attended a ceremony giving out 'The Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters.'

The mockery was actually pretty tame by South Park standards (certainly kinder than its treatment of Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem in the same episode). After the episode aired, Kirk seemed thrilled and posted a TikTok (below) calling the episode 'hilarious' and noted 'South Park gets this right.' The Turning Point USA founder added, 'We have a good spirit about being made fun of. This is all a win. We as conservatives have thick skin, not thin skin, and you can make fun of us and it doesn’t matter.'

Comedy Central had no comment on the scrapped repeat. But thinking behind the decision to not air the episode on cable but keep it on streaming is that viewers have to intentionally opt to watch the episode on demand; whereas on cable, it’s possible to for viewers passively watching Comedy Central to stumble onto the Kirk content, which some may find disturbing."

@dragonfrog @rogue_corq I mean AA turrets that acquire drones and shoot them down.

  • After all with #UAV|s there's no crew to radio or civilians to worry and the #EconomiesOfWar will make such provications by #Russia untenable simply because the "Cost of Kill" is significantly lower (my guesstimate was ~€170) than it is to build a #drone even if it's just an RC model plane with manipulated controls to keep flying when out of signal range.

That being said I find #NATO to act too soft, and that is interpreted as #cowardice by #Putin!

  • If it was my decision there would've been a total sea blockade and total ban of trafe, travel and comms until the #StatusQuoAnteBellum (1994-2010) has been restored when it comes to the territorial integrity of #Ukraine.

The only things up to negotiation would be the #Reparations Russia owes Ukraine!

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

There is a strong feeling in favour of cowardly and prudential proverbs. The sentiments of a man while he is full of ardour and hope are to be received, it is supposed, with some qualification. But when the same person has ignominiously failed and begins to eat up his words, he should be listened to like an oracle. Most of our pocket wisdom is conceived for the use of mediocre people, to discourage them from ambitious attempts, and generally console them in their mediocrity. And since mediocre people constitute the bulk of humanity, this is no doubt very properly so. But it does not follow that the one sort of proposition is any less true than the other, or that Icarus is not to be more praised, and perhaps more envied, than Mr. Samuel Budgett the Successful Merchant.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1878-03), “Crabbed Age and Youth,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 38

McConnell needs to STFU. He was instrumental in creating the Tangerine Trumpenstein monster that is destroying every single corner stone of American democracy.

For years, McConnell was also responsible for creating the right wing disgrace we laughing call the Supreme Court. The same institution that dismantled abortion rights.

CVS says it won't provide the shots in 16 states, including Pennsylvania, regardless of if a person meets the criteria for the vaccination.

The chain says its decision is based on the, "current regulatory environment."

@Thebratdragon @kibcol1049 OFC but then again the unwillingness of following through on commitments [#USA & #UK enshuring #BootsOnTheGround in #Ukraine) as of #BudapestMemorandum is seen as a sign of #weakness and act of #cowardice by the #Agressor (that is #Russia).
