Surrounded by corpses, Wagner's Prigozhin blasts Russian defence minister in expletive-laden video

Standing in a field of corpses, Russian mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin on Friday published an expletive-ridden video personally blaming top defence chiefs for losses suffered by his Wagner Group fighters in Ukraine. Prigozhin's tirade reignited and escalated a long-running feud with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov, whom he has repeatedly accused of starving his forces of ammunition. Prigozhin appeared next to dozens of bloodied corpses that he said were those of Wagner fighters. His expletives were bleeped out in the video published by his press service. "We have a 70% shortage of ammunition. Shoigu!...

The Hill ^ | Sept 14, 2019
President Trump on Saturday confirmed the death of Hamza bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden who had emerged as a high-profile member of al Qaeda. Trump said in a statement released by the White House that bin Laden was killed in a U.S. counterterrorism operation near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, though he did not provide an exact date for the death. “The loss of Hamza bin Ladin not only deprives al-Qa’ida of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group. Hamza bin Ladin was responsible for planning and dealing...

BBC ^ | 12-8-2016 | John Dowry
A pilot may have been suffering from "mental overload" when he crash-landed, killing three members of Osama Bin Laden's family, an inquiry has found. The jet overshot the runway at Blackbushe Airport in July 2015 and crashed into a car auction site. The Air Accidents Investigations Branch (AAIB) said emergency warnings prior to landing may have "saturated the pilot's mental capacity". The pilot and three passengers survived the crash but died in a severe fire. Bin Laden's half-sister, Sana Mohammed Bin Laden, her mother, Raja Bashir Hashim, and his brother-in-law, Zuhair Hashim, were killed, along with pilot Mazen Al-Aqeel Da'jah...
 

What Should You Do When You’re Surrounded By a Mob?

One of the highest-clicked media posts I've ever written up at the Daily Caller was about former Navy Seal Jack Carr appearing on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” last August to explain what to do in the event one finds oneself in the proximity an angry (in this case, BLM/Antifa) mob. It’s obviously a harrowing thought that, judging from the search clicks this post continues to get, has been pondered by many a conservative who witnessed with horror the seemingly neverending weeks of unchecked mob violence in cities and even suburbs across America. Much of Carr’s advice centered around using situational awareness...
 

Academics Surrounded by Reality

Accuracy in Academia ^ | May 17, 2017 | Malcolm A. Kline
Academics are always mystified that the American public perceives reality differently than they do. It never occurs to the former that the latter may be closer to it. The American Council on Education (ACE) polled its members at the ACE annual convention on a quartet of questions. "Not surprisingly, most of those at the meeting who took the poll answered, correctly, that the economic value of college is increasing; that half of borrowers indeed owe less than $13,000; that most institutions do try hard to manage costs and limit tuition increases; and that traditional colleges and universities are nonprofit institutions,"...

Probably not the scenario to be in for a hiker, but what if you’re on a hike. And, you get this feeling that something is near you, not by another human but by a pack of howling coyotes. When we hear coyotes howling its usually from a safe distance. How would you handle a pack of coyotes howling closer to you? Most of the time when I’m on a hike, I carry a pistol and depending on the state that allows me to carry my rifle. (AR) In this video a hiker is unarmed on a hiking trail with coyotes...

Center for Eastern Studies ^ | 2/8/23 | Andrzej Wilk Piotr Żochowski
Communiqués from the Ukrainian General Staff indicate that Russian forces are tightening their grip around Bakhmut. Enemy subunits are being held back on the north-western outskirts of the town (Krasna Hora, Paraskoviivka, Yahidne) and south of the Bakhmut-Kostiantynivka road, including on the western side of the Donets-Donbas canal (Predtechyne, Stupochky), which they have now crossed. The Russians are also expanding the area of their assault to the northwest of Soledar, where they have crossed the Bakhmut-Siversk road at Vasyukivka. The aggressor’s offensive is being contained south and east of Siversk, in the Avdiivka area, and in an arc west of...

US Defense Watch ^ | February 7, 2017 | Ray Starmann
Like Gaius Julius Caesar in ancient Rome, President Trump is surrounded by enemies; foreign and domestic, governmental and corporate; big and small, young and old. Whether they are Silicon Valley CEO’s catering to cheap foreign labor or shrieking college snowflakes, the enemies of Trump all have the same goal; the destruction of the Trump Presidency, the savaging of the President and the continuation of the globalist corruption that benefits the elite and bludgeons the average American, while masquerading behind the idiocy of political correctness and the tyranny of tolerance. The liberal elements of the mainstream media attack the President and...

The US-led coalition now estimates that 2500 ISIS fighters remain in Raqqa — and that they won’t go anywhere else. CBS News quotes Brett McGurk, the envoy for the anti-ISIS fight, as saying that the US intends to make sure every last one of them dies in the so-called capital of the so-called Islamic State: The last remaining ISIS fighters in Raqqa are surrounded by U.S.-backed forces. @HollyMAWilliams met with a group of former ISIS fighters: pic.twitter.com/q1sXHkDnLK— CBS News (@CBSNews) June 30, 2017 With Iraq declaring an end to the caliphate and promising to have secured Mosul in the...

Anyone who’s ever worked on a jigsaw puzzle knows that the process is tedious in the beginning. First, we place all the similar colored pieces in small groups, try various configurations and then we see how two groups might fit together and so on. At a certain point, the progress becomes faster until finally, a picture starts to emerge. Thanks to the painstaking efforts of lawmakers such as Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), the release of the DOJ Inspector General’s report in June and the tireless pursuit of documents by Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, a...

By now, most people know that a large part of the western United States is blazingwith forest fires. There are actually 100 large fires burning in 14 states, with dozens more blazing in western Canada. Phys.org reported that, "The roughly 21,000 federal firefighters working on the ground is more than double the number of firefighters sent to contain forest fires at this time a year ago, and the agency is facing 'critical resources limitations,' said Anthony Scardina, a deputy forester for the agency's Pacific Southwest region." An estimated 6,170 firefighters alone are battling the Dixie Fire in Northern California, right...
 

President Trump’s 360 Degree Adversaries, and He’s Got Them Surrounded…

The Conservative Treehouse ^ | April 11, 2017 | Sundance
Before Donald Trump won the presidency we accepted his approach. Trump enters a battle-space, any battle-space, surrounded 360 by all adversaries, and yet somehow he continues to have them surrounded. As President Trump, this approach continues. On a scale of 1 to 10 the average person has a sense of internal purpose around level four. People of intense historic consequence generally exhibit a stronger personal drive which pushes their scaled sense of purpose to around a seven. However, Donald Trump, now President Trump, as exhibited throughout his life’s accomplishments, carries a sense of purpose considerably higher – perhaps the highest...

American Thinker ^ | 19 Jan, 2024 | Hugh Iwanicki
On January 13, I attended the March for Gaza in Washington, D.C. I wondered, who are these protesters marching in solidarity with Hamas? Hamas is the terrorist group responsible for the October 7 massacre of more than 1,200 innocent Israelis, including children, and the capture of 240 hostages, including Americans. Surely some of these protesters would also demand through their megaphones that “Hamas, free the hostages now!” or that “Hamas surrender now!” As Israel stated many times, there would be a ceasefire if Hamas released the hostages. It was my first event after ankle surgery. I went alone, so I...

After President Obama’s post-shellacking press conference, MSNBC host Chris Matthews said on “Now w/Alex Wagner” that the President’s problem was that he only took advice from yes-men and always thought he was right about everything. “The fact that this President is getting advice from people that say, ‘You’re always right,’ is the problem,” Matthews opined. “He’s got too many sycophants around him telling him, ‘All you have to keep doing is what you’re doing.’”

SlySoft Inc. is a software company registered in the Carribean country of Antigua and Barbuda.

Its product line includes tools like AnyDVD, AnyDVD HD, Clone CD, CloneDVD mobile, Virtual Clone Drive, Game Jackal, and Game Jackal Enterprise. With no doubt, the company's most known product is AnyDVD, a device driver used by many movie, game, and software piracy groups (and even home users) to...

Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan -- Beijing is pulling South Asia into its orbit Think of South Asia as a giant Othello board. The squares are countries and slices of coveted territory. The players trying to cover the board with their black or white pieces are China and India. In the current round, China is winning. The latest square to come under Beijing's sway is Nepal, where a new pro-China government will be sworn in at the beginning of 2018. This marks a major change for the country, nestled in the Himalayas between the two ascendant regional powers. The incumbent Nepalese...

On 4 June 2020, two female police officers, Officer Suarez and her partner, Officer Brown enter a deli in Manhattan. Just behind them came 55-year-old Peyman Bahadoran, walking his dog and holding a drink bottle in his right hand. Officer Suarez held the door to allow the dog, on leash, in the store. Screenshot from video released by NYPD. Scaled, cropped, text added by dean Weingarten Peyman got into a verbal dispute with officer Brown. Peyman drew a large knife which was in a sheath on his right leg, and started waving it around. At this point, either officer, in...
