The battles fought over who is #1 used to be over resources, and there are some items of scarcity like lithium but most of the previous wars were fought over oil and energy, and the US has plenty of that now. That is an old way of looking at the world. Yeah, Russia going down and being dumb hurt the world economy. If China goes down, the US is in a depression. It is a different dynamic than traditional rivalries. Say what you want but IMO the Chinese US relationship has benefitted and made both countries richer. I do not want China to fail but the issue with Biden and China is how is he representing our interests. This whole green energy thing where we go all green where China burns as much coal is they want is an issue more with Biden than China.

I looked at several papers back in 2020 on masks and coronaviruses. In a medical setting, the data shows they prevent their spread. As the experts rightly said in the video, the data's not conclusive as to masks preventing the spread of influenza though.
I was the only person I saw wearing a mask at two indoor venues this weekend. There were several hundred people in one and several thousand in another. It's a KN95 mask and I wear it correctly, snugly against my face. Since COVID started, I've only had one common cold, nothing else. I used to have two or three colds a year. I have however gotten flu and COVID vaccines, and three COVID boosters, so I have protection from those against influenza and the coronavirus.

The IRS has made life hell for some Americans.
Democratic politician Richard Trumka did say his agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, may ban gas stoves. A number of cities controlled by Democratic politicians have passed bans on gas hookups and / or gas appliances, particularly in new buildings and houses. They include New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington D. C. Democratic politicians have also prevented construction of natural gas pipelines. This has resulted in increased carbon emissions over what they would be otherwise, as natural gas when burned emits less carbon per BTU than coal or fuel oil. It also results in higher heating bills, especially this year when fuel oil prices are sky high.
But true, Democratic politicians will not be forcing sex change operations and new pronouns on people.

And, BTW, I am one of the "average American voters" of whom you speak. I am white, Christian, heterosexual and English is my first language. I am not a typical supporter of Donnie the Dumbass who are misogynistic and xenophopic and racist dummies with maybe a high-school education.

Washington certainly did want this war, and has been pushing for it since the CIA organized the Ukraine coup in 2014.
Since then, the Kiev regime has been increasingly abusing the Russians who live in East Ukraine. Washington has been using the country for all kinds of black ops from money laundering to chemical weapons development (and most likely pe-do procurement). The CIA-installed regime then announced that they were going to apply for NATO membership. This would allow the US to have bases on Russia's border within striking distance of Moscow.
This is analogous to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Just as there was no way the US would allow Russian missiles a few miles from its shores in Cuba, there is no way Russia could allow US missiles on its border in Ukraine.
There was no need for any of this. The entire war could have been prevented by, first, the CIA not organizing the coup; but even after that, by a simple acceptance that Ukraine would not join NATO. Unfortunately, Washington had to keep pushing and pushing, and ultimately they got a reaction from Russia.
However, it is not going Washington's way. They thought they could economically collapse Russia, but it turns out the rest of the world is sick of Washington's violent globohomo bullshit and they have sided with Russia, to the extent that the ruble has actually increased in value as increased Russian exports to Asia have offset western sanctions.
It saddens me to say it, but we would be better off if the world was run by China instead of America.
The Chinese just want to do business. The Americans want to cut your son's dick off and have daily buttsex parades, put crazed man-hating feminists in charge of your country, force you to recognize Israel, and threaten to bomb the shit out of you if you don't comply.
No wonder most of the world is pivoting to China and Russia and away from America.

The Supreme Court literally dismissed your exact argument about "it's like being forced to let people into my house."
"The state had attempted to analogize the town's rights to the rights of homeowners to regulate the conduct of guests in their home. The Court rejected that contention by noting that ownership "does not always mean absolute dominion." The court pointed out that the more an owner opens his property up to the public in general, the more his rights are circumscribed by the statutory and constitutional rights of those who are invited in."
The anti-trespassing statute could not be used to prevent the exercise of First Amendment rights in the privately-owned town.
There are already laws against the direct, credible incitement to immediate violence. But that's not even what this is about. It is about political discourse; namely, denying people who oppose the leftist globohomo agenda their First Amendment rights in the public square.
Anyway, if you believe private businesses should be able to deny service to anyone who doesn't abide by their owners' arbitrary rules, why can't a private baker deny business to someone who doesn't abide by his rules of not promoting homosexual sodomy?
Of course, as we all know, it is hypocritical bullshit designed to further the leftist agenda. When it suits them to intervene against private business, IE by destroying a Christian baker, they do so gleefully; when it suits them to leave alone or indeed collude with private business, IE censorship under the previous owners of Twitter, they do so. There is no consistency other than what will best destroy America.

Leading leftists in politics and media actually started funds to bail their pet rioters out of jail, so they could go and attack more federal courthouses and burn more cities.
When leftist antifa rioters attacked the White House when the President was inside, the media mocked him because the Secret Service moved him to a secure bunker in the basement because of the threat.
When rightwing protesters walked through open doors into the Congress, the media had a meltdown about "insurrection", and the democrats, RINOs and deep state tried to do Soviet-style purges.
You can't have a sustainable country held together by such brazen lies and hypocrisy. The sooner we split, the better.

Far from it.
