Because that's pretty much what's not happening today. Virtually zero MSM coverage of today's Rage Against The War Rally in DC.
Ironically, one of the search result first stories about this rally is from PressTV. Who is PressTV? It's the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Service. Let that sink in.
PressTV: Pro-peace activists announce anti-war rally in Washington.
US antiwar activists have called for a large rally in Washington, DC, to protest against the US government's war-mongering foreign policy and other issues.
The "Rage Against The War Machine" rally is set for Sunday where protesters will call for peace talks in Ukraine and an end to US funding and military aid to Kiev forces fighting against Russia.
The rally, which has been organized by the Libertarian and People’s Parties, promises to be the largest US anti-war rally since the protests against the Iraq War in 2003. It is set to feature speakers from across the political spectrum, including former US Senator Ron Paul, former presidential nominee Tulsi Gabbard, and comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore.
Whoa. When the U.S. has to depend on Iran reporting what's happening that isn't being covered by U.S. Legacy FakeStream Media, what does that tell you?
NewsTrackLive is reporting on the story. Who is NewsTrackLive? A news agency based in India.
At least USA based CNS is reporting on it.
Twitter's Rage Against The War Machine is providing updated coverage.
I did a quick scan of headlines at CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS online news. While I might have missed a below the headlines story on the rally, there were no Top Headlines on this rally.
Thanks, USA Leni Riefenstahl Legacy Media, for proving that I can trust totalitarian government-controlled news agencies to report on this more than I can count on USA Media.
Rebel News: European Union begins adding bug additives to food.
This week, a new food additive made from bugs began appearing in foods from pizza to pasta to cereals across the European Union, to the surprise of many Europeans.
According to the European Commission ruling that went into effect this month, a cricket powder additive is now approved for use in a wide range of food products, including cereal bars, biscuits, pizza, pasta-based products, and whey powder. The additive could find its way into a variety of confectionaries, soups, and meat preparations.
In order to prepare the crickets for human consumption, they are first checked to make sure their “bowel content” is removed, then frozen. [ Oh, well - as long as their bowel content is removed and they're frozen. Delish! - DD ]
CONTEXT - From today powder of the house cricket is allowed in a variety of food products in the European Union.https://t.co/I6Tb3fyt5K
— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) January 24, 2023
Though many have suggested that the consumption of bugs could become normalized if used as a food additive, some argue that this could be a way for climate change activists to impose their ideologies on people.
The move to include the powdered additive could be used to convince people that bugs have already been in their food, as the European Union recently approved the use of the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, for human consumption.
In November, the Washington Post suggested that Americans forgo their traditional Thanksgiving dinners and instead look to eating bugs as a cheaper alternative.
Are Vegans okay with this, since they don't eat anything with a face or had parents?
U.S. Department of Defense: Biden Administration Announces Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine.
Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announces the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown of security assistance to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs. This authorization, which is valued at up to $2.5 billion, is the Biden Administration’s thirtieth drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021. It contains hundreds of armored vehicles, critical support for Ukraine’s air defense, and other important capabilities including: ...

Green Matters: European Wind Turbines at a Standstill Amid an Ongoing "Wind Drought".
But as of recently, barely even a breeze has made its way through the through the winter air.
[.]
"Britain is in the middle of a wind drought — and the timing couldn't have been worse. For several days now, the U.K. and western Europe have been calm, with barely a breeze," Thomas Moore writes for Sky News.
"It is not until Wednesday, or even Thursday, that speeds pick up in Scotland and the North Sea, where most of our wind farms are. That shows in the mix of energy being used in the freezing conditions."
"The risks could increase with global warming," [🤣 - DD] he continues. "Scientists working for the United Nations' intergovernmental panel on climate change have looked at what could happen to wind speeds in future. Even if the world reaches net zero soon after 2050, limiting the rise in temperature, winds will weaken significantly in the northern hemisphere." ["Even if." FFS. Retardicus Maximus. - DD]
[.]
According to Yale Environment 360, the phrase "wind drought" is exactly what it sounds like — it refers to an extended period of time that an area lacks wind, or experiences slower-than-usual wind speeds. In 2021, wind speeds were 15 percent slower than in previous years, making for one of the least windy periods in the U.K. in nearly 60 years.
What are "usual wind speeds"?

Financial Times (Archived): Fears grow over plight of Ukraine’s public finances.
Budget crisis now acute because of falling revenues and hold-ups in financial support from allies.
[.]
Oleg Ustenko, an economic adviser to Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said the country now needed $9bn a month from its western backers to plug the budgetary shortfall, almost double its previous request.
"Western backers"...meaning the U.S. taxpayers being raped by Biden and his handlers.

Ukraine is getting an additional $1.7 billion in assistance from the U.S. government and the World Bank to pay the salaries of its beleaguered health care workers and provide other essential services.
The money coming Tuesday from the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Treasury Department and the World Bank is meant to alleviate the acute budget deficit caused by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “brutal war of aggression,” USAID said in a statement.

NDTV: Zelensky Says Ukraine Needs $750 Billion To Rebuild Country.
Kyiv: Ukraine told an international conference Monday that it will cost an estimated $750 billion to rebuild the war-shattered country, a task President Volodymyr Zelensky said was the shared duty of the democratic world.
Speaking at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Switzerland, the Ukrainian president and a long line of government ministers described the massive destruction and towering needs since Russia launched its full-scale invasion on February 24.
"Reconstruction of Ukraine is not a local task of a single nation," Zelesnky said via video message.
"It is a common task of the whole democratic world," he said, insisting that "reconstruction of Ukraine is the biggest contribution to the support of global peace".
No, this is not the "task of the whole democratic word," Mister non-funny comedian prancer dancer.
RT: Nearly half of Germans believe Ukraine should cede territory to Russia.
Ukraine needs to surrender before it's turned into a vast wasteland and frankly, I don't care if Ukraine exists or not. After re-taking Ukraine, Putin can then move on and conquer all of Western Europe which has been nothing but a financial and political drain on the United States for far, far, far too fucking long.

UPDATE:
RT: Pentagon plans ‘years’ of military aid to Ukraine.
The US has revealed $400 million in new weapons shipments to Kiev and intends to keep the aid flowing for “months and years”.
President Joe Biden’s administration has announced $400 million in new weapons aid to Ukraine, including four additional HIMARS rocket systems, and is making plans to keep supplying such hardware to Kiev for “months and years ahead.”
A Pentagon official spoke of planning efforts to meet Kiev’s short- and long-term weaponry needs in a briefing to reporters on Friday. The latest round of aid will be provided under Biden’s drawdown authority, meaning it won’t require congressional approval, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The new batch of HIMARS units follows previous deliveries of eight such rocket systems. HIMARS stands for High Mobility Aircraft Rocket System, a precision artillery launcher that can hit targets 80 kilometers away. The new shipments, which represent Washington’s 15th military aid package for Ukraine since last August, will also include 1,000 rounds of advanced 155mm Howitzer shells. The new ammunition has greater precision than standard artillery rounds and will enhance Ukraine’s ability to target Russian assets, the Pentagon said.
Just keep shoveling money to Ukraine, Joe. Anyone with the slightest critical thinking skills understands this democrat "forever war" is only to keep paying off the Ukraine Politburo gravy train trough that feeds the families of Biden, Pelosi, Romney, Kerry, Graham, Cheney, Clinton and God only know who the other UniParty families are on this cash cow.
This "war" of Ukraine is so serious and of such vital importance, that Zelensky has time to meet with celebrities like Sean Penn and Ben Stiller.
Nuke Ukraine, Vlad - do it sooner than later.

BRUSSELS (AFP) - Belgian police raided an illegal laboratory producing the rave drug ecstasy on an air base that reputedly houses part of the US nuclear arsenal in Europe, investigators said on Tuesday (June 28).
Two suspects - not military personnel - were arrested during the raid, according to a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in the Belgian province of Limburg.
The Kleine-Brogel base in north-east Belgium is best known for housing a stock of US nuclear weapons.

A great Thread. Some unhinged and irate liberal replies, but when aren't they?
The UK has officially left the European Union after 47 years of membership - and more than three years after it voted to do so in a referendum.
The historic moment, which happened at 23:00 GMT, was marked by both celebrations and anti-Brexit protests.
Candlelit vigils were held in Scotland, which voted to stay in the EU, while Brexiteers partied in London's Parliament Square.
Boris Johnson has vowed to bring the country together and "take us forward".
[.]
Britain joined what was then European Economic Community on 1 January, 1973, at the third attempt. Two years later the country voted by an overwhelming majority to remain in the bloc in the first nationwide referendum.
Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron held another referendum in June 2016, amid growing pressure from his own MPs and Nigel Farage's UK Independence Party.
Mr Cameron led the campaign to stay in the EU but lost by the narrow margin of 52% to 48% to the Leave campaign, fronted by fellow Conservative Boris Johnson.
Mr Cameron's successor as prime minister, Theresa May, repeatedly failed to get her version of an EU withdrawal agreement passed by Parliament and was replaced by Mr Johnson, who also failed to get his plans through.
Mr Johnson managed to secure an early general election in December last year, which he won with an 80 seat majority, on a promise to "get Brexit done".
[.] Most EU laws will continue to be in force - including the free movement of people - until 31 December, when the transition period comes to an end.
French President Emmanuel Macron should determine the level of his own “brain death,” before accusing NATO of lacking gray matter, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan has quipped.Daily Mail: Erdogan slams 'brain dead' Emmanuel Macron for his criticism of NATO.
France has no right to criticize Turkey’s military incursion into Syria, or to make presumptions about NATO as a whole, Erdogan said in a speech at the University of Marmara in Istanbul on Friday. The Turkish leader even attacked Macron personally, retooling the French president’s claim that NATO was suffering from “brain death.”
"First of all, have your own brain death checked. These statements are suitable only to people like you who are in a state of brain death," [said Erdogan].
'You know how to show off but you cannot even properly pay for NATO. You are a novice,' Erdogan said.
'Believe me, Macron is very inexperienced. He doesn't know what fighting against terror is. That is why yellow vests invaded France,' he added, referring to the French protest movement of the past year.
The UN could save a lot of money - and help Teh Climate - by ceasing all air travel. There's this thing called Web Conferencing. Most of the UN's actual business needn't be conducted in-person.[U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday] told the 193-member U.N. General Assembly’s budget committee that if he had not worked since January to cut spending then “we would not have had the liquidity to support” the annual gathering of world leaders last month. “This month, we will reach the deepest deficit of the decade. We risk … entering November without enough cash to cover payrolls,” said Guterres. (Those three periods after risk "...", I wonder if he was literally gasping...for Teh...Drama. Maybe he played an ominous ringtone before continuing with, "...entering November... ." - DD)

Washington owes some $381 million for prior regular budgets and $674 million for the 2019 regular budget. The U.S. mission to the United Nations confirmed the figures. It did not immediately respond to a request for comment on when it might pay.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said Washington is shouldering an unfair burden of the cost of the United Nations and has pushed for reforms of the world body. Guterres has been working to improve U.N. operations and cut costs.

The United States is responsible for nearly 28 percent of the peacekeeping budget but has pledged to pay only 25 percent – as required by U.S. law.
A new ride at a German amusement park recently raised quite a few eyebrows on social media for its bizarre design. Now the ride, called the Adlerflug or “Eagle’s Flight,” will reportedly be shut down after so many people pointed out the obvious: The ride looks like two giant swastikas.
[.]
Rüdiger Braun, the director of the park, has apologized for the swastika ride and insisted to the local Bild newspaper that, “We didn’t notice the gondolas are in the form of a swastika. It wasn’t obvious from the manufacturer’s sketches.”
Braun has reportedly proposed giving the ride three “spinning eagles” instead of four, which he says, "will have this problem under control."

In the city of Münster, six people had to have eye operations to remove caterpillar hair that got stuck in their corneas. In Mülheim, nine children were taken to a hospital last month after suffering rashes and breathing problems during a sports day.
“It’s terrible everywhere,” Thomas Schwolow, an administrator in the municipality of Issum, where numerous trees have been affected, told Rheinische Post. “It would be great if it would rain so that at least all the hair on the leaves and in the air could be washed away,” he added.

Near Hamburg in northern Germany, parts of the A1 motorway were closed for three nights in May so firefighters could tackle infected trees. Authorities were concerned that the caterpillar’s hairs, which are almost invisible, could affect the health of drivers and local residents.
Those pesky "domestic agendas". They're such an endless to-do list.British Prime Minister Theresa May stepped down as leader of the governing Conservatives on Friday, officially triggering a contest to replace her that could see her party embrace a tougher stance on Brexit.
Theresa May announced she would step down last month after failing to deliver Britain's departure from the European Union on time, deepening a political crisis in a divided country struggling to move on from a 2016 referendum on Brexit.
She will continue to work as prime minister until her party elects a new leader, a crowded race that will be defined by Brexit and competing approaches on how to deliver Britain's biggest foreign policy shift in more than 40 years.
"For the remainder of her time in office, she will be building on the domestic agenda that she has put at the heart of her premiership," her spokeswoman told reporters.
