Terrorism
Is New York City Under Threat?
The Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, has added another 250 New York National Guard members to the already deployed 750 Guard members patrolling NYC subway stations.
This is the largest military presence the city’s subway system has seen since the aftermath of 9/11.
Governor Hochul reported that the Guard members have been put in place to combat the violent crime which is rampant in NYC’s subway system.
But is there something deeper here?
If you wanna combat violent crime, then why not put more NYPD boots on the ground? Or is the potential threat NYC is facing too much for them?
This coincides with the increasing public hysteria over those unidentified drones in New York and New Jersey airspace.
What the fuck is going on?
Politics
German Government Collapses
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz lost a vote of confidence earlier this week. This means early elections will be taking place on 23 February. They were meant to occur in September.
This loss had been coming given Scholz’s 3 party coalition collapsed roughly 2 months ago. Scholz believes calling the early election gives his party, the socialist SPD, the best chance of winning the election.
Meanwhile, the right-wing AfD party is absolutely fucking flying in the polls at about 20%. This is almost double from 2021.
The AfD will most likely not win this election, but if they can gain a big enough share of the German parliament, they can prevent like-minded parties from forming coalitions.
It’ll be interesting to see how this shit plays out…
USA
Is Kamala Gonna Be Rich?
Kamala Harris is set to make $20 million from a book deal. She may even sign a contract with Netflix, according to insiders.
The book is supposedly going to give the reader her side of the story as to what happened in the White House when she replace Biden as the nominee.
And guess what, the debt from her failed campaign also happens to be $20 million.
Damn.
To be fair, I’d be laughing if I was her. $20 million to write a book on my biggest failure? Count me the fuck in.
Thank You
That’s all Folks
Nearly there lads. Enjoy.
