The numbers all point to a FAILED demolition job against the Dutertes

February 28, 2025 Ramon Ortoll 6 Comments

The mathematics of election and impeachment are quite simple. It really depends on the people at the end of the day; the conviction or acquittal of Vice-President Sara Duterte from the impeachment complaint filed against her. The Ensaymorons fell silent yesterday faced with the reality revealed by the survey conducted by WR Numero — that…

Yellowtard “social news network” Rappler continues to flail over the gutting of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) by US President Donald Trump.

Dismantling of the EDSA busway would have been an astounding injustice

It is laughable how, at a time when the decades-long insanity of car-centric design of urban spaces is finally losing steam across much of the sane world, some moron chucked another quintessentially-Filipino brainwave to have the EDSA bus lane removed.

Although there are elements…

Is Rappler a beneficiary of USAID?

One would think so. Over just the last seven days, Rappler and its hipster “journalists” seem to be all-hands-on-deck kicking up a media frenzy over the gutting of a renowned global ATM machine; the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The Philippines, after all, is dependent on an umbilical cord that delivers cash from…
