    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbl1v_4vqbA Taking out the Kerch Bridge railway lines was a master stroke. Now the Russians cannot supply their Kherson region troops via the Crimea. The Russian forces are now cut off from resupply of fuels, such as diesel and gasoline, food, artillery shells and everything. They just might get routed by Ukrainian forces in the next month or two
  • Musk: (It is) 'Borderline Illegal' to Support GOP in San Francisco

    Responding to some Twitter users about the midterm elections on Tuesday, new Twitter owner Elon Musk joked that it's "borderline illegal" to support Republicans in San Francisco. Ahead of the midterms, Musk urged his followers to vote for GOP candidates to "curb the worst excesses" of the Democrats. He stayed fairly quiet on Election Day, however, posting only a few comments in response to Twitter users that seem to add to his relatively recent conservative leanings. Reacting to a chart showing tech firm donations to political candidates in the 2018 midterms posted by Monitoring Bias, Musk said, "It is borderline...

  • CLEAN SWEEP: Democratic meddling in GOP primaries paid off in a big way on Election Day

    Democrats spent more than $40 million to boost Republicans in primaries for key midterm races.. Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle. All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents. Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race. Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six...
  • Ballots Have Now Gone Missing After Dominion Voting Machine Disaster

    After Dominion Voting machines in Mercer County, New Jersey, failed to read ballots, forcing voters to complete paper ballots, hundreds or even thousands of those paper ballots have now disappeared. Some 3,211 voters from three Princeton districts who cast their ballots at the municipal building may end up disenfranchised if the ballots are not recovered, as could up to 835 Robbinsville residents who voted at the Mercer County Library. The actual number of missing ballots was not immediately clear; the New Jersey Globe reported only the number of voters in each of the four affected districts, not the number of...

    SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) — The war-inspired natural gas boom is undermining already insufficient efforts to limit future warming to just a few more tenths of a degree, a new report says. Planning and build-up of liquified and other natural gas — due to an energy crisis triggered by Russian’s invasion of Ukraine — would add 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (1.9 billion metric tons) a year to the air by 2030. The sheer amount of liquified natural gas projects in the pipeline for construction shocked the analysts, Hare said. The report calculates that if everything planned goes...

    The Biden administration has rejected pleas from Ukraine and a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers to supply President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's military with advanced drones, The Wall Street Journal reported. The Defense Department refused the request based on concerns that providing the drones could escalate the war between Ukraine and Russia, WSJ reported Thursday. Pentagon officials are worried that President Vladimir Putin would see a supply of drones as a sign the U.S. was providing weapons that could target positions inside Russia, officials told the outlet.

    Vice President Mike Pence revealed on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump criticized him for being “too honest” and warned that “thousands are gonna hate your guts” in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. In the piece published by the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, Pence said Trump made the remarks on New Year’s Day 2021 after Pence refused to stop the certification of the 2020 election results. In the meeting, Pence said he was not going to support a lawsuit filed by Rep. Louie Gohmert to grant the vice president “exclusive authority and sole discretion”...

    During a bumbling speech Wednesday, a reporter had to remind Joe Biden where Russia is currently engaged in conflict after the President suggested Putin’s troops were about to pull out of a city in Iraq. Biden was asked about reports that the Russian military is to leave the city of Kherson in Ukraine, one of the only major cities they have successfully occupied since the invasion began. “I think the context is that whether or not they’re pulling back from Fallujah,” Biden said before racking his brain to try and recall where Russian troops really are. Fallujah is in Iraq....

    Pennsylvania Democrats believe they have taken control of the state House for the first time in more than a decade, an outcome that was considered a long shot by even the most optimistic Democrats but that has not yet been confirmed by independent analysts. Republicans on Wednesday said the declaration of victory was premature. They’re pinning their hopes on a handful of close races in the Philadelphia suburbs where the candidates are separated by hundreds — or in some cases just dozens — of votes. Democrats said it showed that a favorable redistricting process in Pennsylvania gave them a fighting...
  • Montana voters look set to reject proposal to give legal personhood to born infants: “Born Alive Infant Protection Act” Appears Headed for Defeat

    Just the News ^ | 11/10/2022
    Montana residents this week appeared poised to vote down a proposal to give all infants born in the state the legal protection of personhood, one of several pro-life measures that sputtered at the polls during the midterm elections. The measure, Montana Referendum No. 131, was polling at 52% opposed with more than 80% of the votes tallied on Wednesday afternoon. The Montana news website YourBigSky on Wednesday reported that the measure "was defeated by a 4% margin," though it is unclear if the total votes have yet been tallied. The referendum, if passed, would have enacted a state-level "born alive...

    WASHINGTON — Whoever holds the House majority in January, the new lawmakers will include a fresh crop of Republican election deniers, including a veteran who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021; a handful of GOP members of color; and a diverse group of young Democratic progressives. As vote counting continued across the country Wednesday, with Republicans grasping to take control and Democrats outperforming expectations in key races, the contours of a new class of lawmakers began to emerge. It featured a sizable contingent of Republicans who have questioned or denied the legitimacy of...

  • Regardless of Who's Elected, Imperial Corruption Rules the Nation (Charles Hugh Smith)

    But in the meantime, enjoy the political theatrics down on the sand-strewn floor of the Coliseum. While the much-touted differences between America's political parties get obsessive, hysterical attention, the sameness of Imperial corruption, waste and squalor regardless of who's in power gets little notice. Scrape away the differences--mostly in domestic issues--and we see the dead hand of Imperial Corruption is on the tiller. The core of Imperial Corruption is the disconnect between the nation's ideals of representational democracy and open markets and the sordid reality: elites serve their interests by corrupting both democracy and open markets. Unfettered democracy and markets...

    On Wednesday’s broadcast of NBC’s “MTP Now,” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) argued that while Republicans play the crime “card really well, it feels like they do it every couple of years.” The records of Democrats on the issue won out. Murphy stated, “Finally — our party is quite famously lousy on a coherent, specific message. I think we got there. And the good news is, we had a substantive story to tell when you look at the historic bills that were passed in Congress and signed and led by the president. So, we had a substantive story. We...
