Official reporting across a wide spectrum of government at the federal and state level has become quite "Soviet". Most often its politically biased through partial truth and omission, but increasingly from the Puppet Show et al it's just an outright lie. Often quickly buried, "corrected" after the fact, or slowly morphed as relevance fades. Sadly, that genie will be very, very hard to put back in the bottle for years to come.
[Bee] ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ — As part of a new marketing initiative, the makers of Dove soap have announced they will be replacing the brand's longtime bird silhouette logo with a more body-positive image of a manatee.
"This is the new depiction of Dove beauty," said Unilever marketing executive Marsha Rainwater. "Who wants to look at majestic, graceful doves and thin, statuesque women when you can buy products with fat manatees that have morbidly obese spokesmodels endorsing them? Our thoughts exactly."
The company made headlines last week when it announced it was partnering with 400-pound Black Lives Matter activist Zyahna Bryant to portray a more inclusive stance on body image. "It helps score us some ’woke points,'" explained Rainwater. "Plus, we had a ton of excess food left over from a company banquet that we needed to clear out, so having an enormous, insatiable beast roaming the halls is beneficial in other ways, too. It's a win-win!"
Consumers immediately pushed back against the initiative, for both the spokesmodel and the logo. "Who wants to see that?" said concerned citizen Josiah Smith. "Seriously, I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I read about their marketing campaign. Imagine how much soap it takes to wash under that many folds of skin. Actually, I suggest you don't imagine it."
At publishing time, Dove executives had put in a request for the production department to up its output due to Bryant reportedly eating all of the bars of soap that had been set aside for the campaign photo shoot.

[Tree House] The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) created the systems that permit intelligence weaponization. The SSCI is the organizational institution that supports the Fourth Branch of Government, the intelligence branch. Keep in mind, the SSCI previously created a bipartisan "Restrict Act," to deal with what they deemed dangerous information on the internet (under auspices of TikTok ban). SSCI Chairman Mark Warner is the current enabler of the continued weaponized intel operations.
In this video segment below, notice how Chairman Warner leads off his remarks. Two flares triggered. First, you can tell by his response, that President Trump’s "classified documents" were exactly what we thought they were; evidence against those who constructed the Trump-Russia claims from inside govt. Second, notice how Warner now wants to block any President from controlling intelligence as defined by the Fourth Branch. This stuff is getting brutally obvious. WATCH:

Warner’s final fall will be glorious but he may be the last cockroach to sizzle and pop under the magnified light of truth.

[Daily Caller] Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas blasted President Joe Biden over paying $6 billion to Iran to secure the release of five Americans being held.
Iran released the five Americans Monday after the Biden administration persuaded South Korea to release $6 billion in oil revenue to Iran. The money was transferred to Qatar, which will release the funds for humanitarian aid, The New York Times reported. (RELATED: ’Desperate To ... Get Back Into Iran’s Good Graces’: Tom Cotton Slams Biden Over $6 Billion Payment To Iran)
“Right now, Joe Biden is asking for $24 billion to go to Ukraine to fight the war, but simultaneously they’re announcing they’re sending $16 billion to Iran,” Cruz told Bloomberg “Balance of Power” co-hosts Joe Mathieu and Annmarie Hordern. “Iran is using that money to make drones, and those drones are going to Russia and Russia is using those drones to kill Ukrainians, so the Biden administration is funding both sides of the war.”

[RIA] A native of the hero city of Odessa, philosopher Alexander Tsipko was outraged in his article by the fact that “the sacralization of Stalin has reached its apogee.” "Why do Russians admire a murderer?" — Doctor of Philosophy and Chief Researcher at the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences asks us. The reason for this “I can’t remain silent” was a survey by a foreign agent “Levada Center”, which recorded what we all already know. 63 percent of Russians have admiration, respect and sympathy for Joseph Stalin. This is two and a half times more than at the height of the nineties.

Given 20+ years of NATO's eastward expansion + countless USA sponsored coup attempts in former Soviet republics + psychotic Russophobia in Baltics & Ukraina (also sponsored) - only an idiot would expect Russians not to revert to their (historically justified) position "Either we're strong, or we're western colony".

As a history student in college, I found Stalin to be one of the most interesting characters in all of history. Interesting, yeah. Fascinating. Kinda like a rattlesnake.
Having said that, it seems to me that only someone who wants war would keep dredging up old grievances from a war that was fought 80 years ago. Can't we learn our lessons from that war without starting a new one?

...dredging up old grievances from a war that was fought 80 years ago.
[Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a blow to the transparency of information and what could have been a treasure trove of evidence against a global sex trafficking ring, the Pentagon has announced the lost F-35 fighter jet was apparently carrying the only known copy of Jeffrey Epstein's client list.
"This is truly unfortunate," said Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby. "The client list that once belonged to the late Mr. Epstein was being transported to an undisclosed location for analysis to prepare to use it as evidence to deliver justice for Epstein's victims. Tragically, with the plane going missing, it is unlikely we will ever see the list again. Such a peculiar happenstance, really."
Media outlets and the public at large have been calling for the release of Eptsein's client list for years but will now be left to speculate as to its contents. "Such an awful coincidence," said conspiracy theorist Ryan Felix. "It just so happens that the very plane that is carrying the client list disappears? Yeah, sure. Right. Funny how that happens, huh?"
At publishing time, reports had begun to circulate that, in addition to the Epstein client list, the missing F-35 jet just so happened to also be carrying the Nashville shooter's manifesto, Barack Obama's original birth certificate, conclusive proof of the identity of the Jan 6 pipe bomber, and all known documentation and evidence of Joe and Hunter Biden's dealings with the Ukrainian and Chinese governments.

The unfortunate F-35 was found nose down with 2 bullets to the back of the canopy.
[BEE] WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following a change in the Senate's informal dress code, aging senators were excited to show up to work Monday in their hospital gowns.
"This is awkward," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel said when he noticed dozens of senators wearing the same exact thing. "One of us has got to change."
Officially, loosening the Senate's informal dress code was motivated by a need to accommodate Sen John Fetterman's famous hoodie and sweatpants. However, sources confirm Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had an ulterior motive — he prefers the comfort and convenience of a hospital gown.
"I wear the gown under my normal clothes so I can change into them quickly. Like a superhero," Schumer said. "But now I can drop the facade and just be me. It's loose-fitting so you can have easy access to my backside to administer vaccines, suppositories, and other medications. It's great!"
Bernie Sanders confirmed that the new dress code allows him to live a truth he previously hid from the world. "The gown is open in the back. It's very breezy, which I like," he said. "Ooooo, I feel it now."
Sen Lindsey Graham, however, bucked the hospital gown trend by dressing in drag. "It's time for Lindsey Graham 3.0!" he said. "Fabuloooouuuus!"
At publishing time, the policy had been quickly reversed after Rand Paul showed up in his buffalo hat.
