The Biden administration reportedly had considered declaring a public health emergency that would allow them to do more, according to Bloomberg Law, but “ultimately decided against the move.”

He was married and living with his wife Justine when she conceived their children but they still had their kids through IVF. So I don’t doubt he was/is partnered with Zilis but they still elected for IVF.

Looking into the past definitely brings a lot of things into perspective.

IVF probably suits his particular...obsessions? I don’t think he understands a lot of what he talks about but he loves probabilities and calculations so getting to choose how many embryos to insert and their sex and so on suits him quite nicely.

I don’t disagree but I feel like the extra steps make this a sub-category?

You and I both know that this isn’t a “joke” by any means.

Aren’t most of his kids born via IVF? Since there’s two sets of twins and one set of triplets?

Thank you for sharing.

Sometimes I get the itch and look into my genealogy and in recent times, I have been reflecting on what the lives of my lady ancestors were like.

Thank you, this article has been more comprehensive than the others and it’s appreciated.

...So y’all are being paid for these articles, right? It’s the only way to explain the tone and, as I mention each time, the total lack of context.

I’ll agree to disagree.

I think the higher levels of government knew about the invasion but were caging their words so as to not induce panic, reveal sources, and try to get Russia to change their mind.

Agreed! Followed for the Elon mocking, stayed for the Ukraine analysis. I liked his optimistic takes when the situation can seem pretty bleak at times.

I think I’m fairly plugged into things and I didn’t really know about the build-up until the MSM started covering it in January/February.

For the reasons I explained? She has value as a hostage but she is a nobody relative to the value Russia can extract from her. Likewise, killing her would not have the intended effect.

But anyone even closer to the situation predicted this even before that. This is a video from a Youtube creator from Hungary dated April 2021

Mostly agree except for it being her fault for being in Russia. She, like other Americans, was in Russia for business. Right up until the invasion people were hoping Russia would change its’ mind.

These articles need to stop. Each one is worse than the last. They remain counterfactual and completely ignore the way these things work. Each subsequent article fails to examine how the process actually works.
