Most pundits dodge underlying issue: Times is the Pravda of Wall Street, which hates Biden for his proposed 25% alternative minimum tax on billionaires and 28% corporate income tax, rolling back Trump's $2 trillion December 2017 tax bonanza for parasites and predators;

Biden campaign counts 30 articles attacking President for senility as against just 1 article discussing Biden's successful economic program; If Sulzberger really wants a lengthy sit-down interview with Biden so much, he should publish 30 articles on the stunning success of Bidenomics, 30 essays on Trump's growing mental impairment, and 30 comparisons of Trump's raving speeches with the rhetoric of Mussolini and Hitler to redress many months of cynical deception;

The last straw: Latest New York Times-Siena poll insults public with grotesque falsifications of presidential contest in battleground states; MSNBC's Scarborough condemns latest survey as "garbage"; Competent experts criticize and mock this poll's distorted portrayal of contest in Nevada (Trump ahead by 12%!)

and 10% Trump lead in Georgia ("exaggerated"); 50% discrepancy in youth vote between Michigan and neighboring Wisconsin; and counting "Likely Voters" who have never registered or voted, but who break overwhelmingly for Benedict Donald;

Trump loses 22% of Republicans in Maryland and 18% in Nebraska, confirming once more that his base turnout strategy is doomed to defeat; Nebraska GOP split with MAGA state committee refusing to endorse the congressional delegation;

Angela Alsobrooks to face off against crypto-MAGA Larry Hogan for Maryland senate seat; Trump promises bigger and better Muslim ban as disastrous Manhattan trial moves toward closing statements;

Ukraine has destroyed 15% of Russian oil production, hampering exports; Blinken and British wisely tell Zelensky to use NATO missiles as he thinks best, including deep inside Russia; Campaign resembles US effort to deprive Nazi Reich of its primary oil source in Ploesti in Romania, whose destruction accelerated end of war in Europe; F-16s, Patriot missiles and Patriot missile batteries remain in urgent demand;

Ouster of Russian Defense Minister Shoigu and his replacement with economic mobilization expert is sign of defeat, not victory, but BBC and US press peddle disgusting defeatism at every opportunity;

With dock-pier causeway now operating on the coast of Gaza, US leads world in providing humanitarian aid for Palestinians; Sinister united front of haters to starve Gaza emerges among Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and fascist Israeli settlers to block any and all food shipments;

Alliance of Shiite Iran with Suni Muslim Brotherhood looms large from Middle East to US college campuses thanks to influence of BDS and Students for Justice in Palestine;

After attacks on Netanyahu by Gallant and Gantz, possibility of his ouster by end of June appears realistic, largely as a result of Biden's pressure;

Biden marks end of neoliberal globalization era with 100% protective tariff on Chinese electric cars; Precursors include Abraham Lincoln, who declared "I am in favor of the internal improvement system and a high protective tariff"; Lincoln argued that protectionism does not cause permanent inflation, but lowers prices after a short time: "... if a duty amounting to full protection be levied upon an article which can be produced here

with as little labor as elsewhere, such as iron, that article will ultimately, and at no distant day, in consequence of such duty, be sold to our people cheaper than before, at least by the amount of the cost of carrying it from abroad.”

The most important note on this is the Russia has very little oil and gas storage facilities. These are extremely important, as if they cannot store oil, then they will have shut down production. Being that 80% of all Russian oil and gas production in frozen tundra, these wells, one shut down, freeze and cannot be restarted. They must be re-drilled. This already happened when the Soviet Union collapsed. And it took almost a decade to get them up and running.
