People Fight for Food in the Western Ukraine

******

______________________________

Soaring unemployment, unbearable prices, falling wages, criminal persecution of dissidents, the dollar is at a historical high against the grivnya… that’s the Ukraine. A vid appeared on the internet showing Ternopol in the Western Ukraine… a cradle of the Maidan revolution. Its people seemed on the brink of the abyss, descending to the level of animals. These were the sorts who six months ago shouted, “Donbass… a bunch of rednecks”. As you know, Poroshenko said, “I believe that Galicians are the foundation of Ukrainian statehood”.

NY Times Sez Fleeing Banderovtsy Create Chaos in Artemovsk

_______________________________

A New York Times correspondent reported that junta bandits who fled from Debaltsevo roamed the streets of Artemovsk drunk; from time to time, they heard gunfire. Demoralised junta militants milled around Artemovsk after disorderly fleeing from Debaltsevo, complaining of bad leadership, the hopeless situation, and terrible losses. In the central square of Artemovsk, shots rang out from a mob of drunken junta fighters. Many militants hung out on the streets, brandishing guns and bottles of hooch. According to the Times, some of those who fled from Debaltsevo commandeered taxis in Artemovsk and didn’t pay the drivers. Others partied in restaurants, drinking cognac, but they refused to pay up and shot holes in the ceiling. It wasn’t at all clear where they were going to sleep; one group stood silently trembling on the street outside a hotel. Meanwhile, the Times noted that the rout at and the retreat from Debaltsevo wasn’t orderly, with heavy losses. The order to retreat came suddenly, without properly informing subordinate units.

Gallup Sez Texas Might Turn to the Left… God Bless America!

______________________________

For decades, pollsters counted Texas… for better or worse… as one of the reddest of red states. Therefore, it may come as quite a shock to learn that, as demographics shift, it isn’t amongst the most Republican states anymore. Gallup, as a part of their annual States of the States series, recently conducted a poll based on party affiliation. Some results were less surprising… New York, California, Delaware, and Massachusetts still show solidly Democratic. Others, such as Louisiana and the Lone Star State itself, revealed themselves more politically split. Gallup asked people about their party membership, or which way they leaned if they identified as Independent. Turns out, the Texas Republican advantage shrunk to 3.9 percent, below the 10 percent that’d indicate a Solid Republican lead and the 5 percent that’d indicate a so-called Republican lean. The small percentage still means millions of voters. Thus, Gallup reclassified Texas as a competitive state, one of 18 in the country… it classified 15 states as solid or leaning Republican, and 17 as solid or leaning Democrat. Gallup noted a “significant move away from the Democratic Party” across the country since 2008, when 29 states were solidly Democratic and another 6 were Democrat-leaning. Pollsters say Democrats still have the advantage nationwide because of densely populated left-leaning states like New York and California; many solidly Republican states are more sparsely populated. The survey revealed that the most Republican states are Utah and Wyoming.

Editor:

Greedy GOP businessmen are bringing in Mexican illegals and treating them like shit. However (as Chukcha the Wise would say)… their kids are citizens and they saw how the Republican greedster “biznessmen” treated Mom and Pop and Tío and Tía. As a result, they’re NOT voting Republican… Ted Cruz, payback IS a motherfucker… did you forget that? Proof positive that the GOP is, indeed, “The Stupid Party”.
