  • 'This is now a knife fight': Philadelphia DA rails against impeachment vote

    11/22/2022 5:48:29 AM PST · by Red in Blue PA · 14 replies
    PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Philadelphia’s Democratic district attorney had harsh words for the Pennsylvania Legislature in his first public statement since the vote last week to impeach him. Lawmakers and community activists joined Larry Krasner on Monday as he called the vote a product of the “MAGA wing” of the Republican Party and said the movement to reform the criminal justice system will not be silenced. “Once again, they're trying to tell you all what you think,” he said. “Well, the people know what they think.”

    As El Paso becomes the number one location for immigrants to cross into the US, residents of the Texas city tell The Post they’re now overrun with illegal immigrants who are coming to their neighborhoods, prowling through their yards and may be carrying weapons. “It’s real bad because sometimes there’s up to 10, 15 of them running all over,” Luis Lujan, who lives near El Paso’s Ascarate Park, less than two miles from the border, told The Post. In the area where Lujan lives, migrants either climb over the border wall or cut holes in the nine-foot barrier dividing the...

    Once again, we have seen a high-profile shooting that wasn’t stopped by gun control but could have been stopped if law enforcement and prosecutors had done their jobs. Another shooting, another law enforcement failure that gun control wouldn't solve Another shooting, another law enforcement failure that gun control wouldn't solve A gunman in Colorado Springs killed five people and injured 18, and unsurprisingly, he was already on law enforcement’s radar. In June 2021, he allegedly threatened his mother with a homemade bomb. Neighbors were forced to evacuate from their homes, and a bomb squad and crisis negotiators were brought in....

    A software glitch in some Model Y and Model 3 vehicles can cause the taillights to go off intermittently, increasing the risk of a collision. WASHINGTON — Tesla is recalling more than 300,000 vehicles in the U.S. because a software glitch can make taillights go off intermittently, increasing the risk of a collision. Tesla said in documents posted Saturday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the glitch may affect one or both taillights on certain Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. Brake lamps, backup lamps and turn signal lamps are not affected by the software problem, the...

    PARIS (Reuters) -The global economy should avoid a recession next year but the worst energy crisis since the 1970s will trigger a sharp slowdown, with Europe hit hardest, the OECD said, adding that fighting inflation should be policymakers' top priority. National outlooks vary widely, although Britain's economy is set to lag major peers, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development said on Tuesday. It forecast that world economic growth would slow from 3.1% this year - slightly more than the OECD foresaw in its September projections - to 2.2% next year, before accelerating to 2.7% in 2024. The OECD said...

    Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 14 Jesus Walks on the Water 22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him...
  • CBS ‘confirms’ Hunter Biden laptop is real 769 days after Post broke story

    It only took them 769 days. CBS News said Monday that it confirmed the authenticity of data from Hunter Biden’s former laptop — more than two years after The Post first revealed its contents — as the first son’s lawyer complained he didn’t “consent” to the release. The laptop links President Biden to his son Hunter and brother Jim Biden’s foreign influence-peddling, but high-ranking former spy agency officials claimed before the 2020 election it was likely Russian disinformation and the story was censored by Twitter and Facebook. Most news outlets ignored the laptop’s contents until recently. CBS’s report follows belated...

(snip) The exchange was recorded by the reconnaissance team and shared with CNN. It offers a valuable insight into the grueling battle for the key southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, which culminated in a Russian withdrawal from a swathe of land on the west bank of the Dnipro river earlier this month, a major setback for the Kremlin’s war.

    In Vermont’s Randolph Elementary School last year, a third-grade boy was disciplined and made to apologize to a girl classmate who instructed those around her that she desired to be addressed by the pronouns “they” and “them.” The boy was compelled to use the speech elected by the girl; not the other way around. The boy is deprived of the choice of what pronouns of the English language he must employ -- these are determined in “gender theory” not by rules of grammar but of self-identity. This is profoundly foolish, but is increasingly the fad at ideologically-polluted public schools. The...

    "Stochastic terrorism" is the latest front on the Democrats' disinformation war. A few days ago a youth opened fire with an AR-15 in a gay nightclub called Club Q in Colorado Springs, killing five and wounding 25. The shooter was subdued in the club and eventually arrested. This isn’t the killer’s first encounter with law enforcement. He was arrested in June 2021 after threatening to bomb his mother’s house with a homemade device. The Colorado Springs Gazette reported that the district attorney’s office didn't formally charge the shooter, hence he was allowed back into society. Colorado’s Red Flag laws which...

    The War in Ukraine has proven disastrous for Europe's dwindling energy supply. Now that Europe has lost its primary source of natural gas - Russia - they're paying up to 10x market price to replace that lost supply. So what can Europe do? First, hope that they have one of the warmest winters on record. After that, they only have two (equally detrimental) options. 1 - continue sourcing natural gas from spot markets or 2 - remove the demand for natural gas. I didn't say the options were great, but at least they have choices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrJBrvOUlJM

    Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly is announcing new sanctions on Belarus Tuesday in response to its support for Russia’s war on Ukraine. Joly says in a statement that Belarusian leadership is enabling human-rights violations and allowing the country to serve as a launching pad for Russia’s attacks. Canada is adding 22 Belarusian officials to the sanctions list, including people who are involved in the stationing and transport of Russian military personnel and equipment. The sanctions also affect 16 Belarusian companies across the military manufacturing, tech, engineering, banking and rail sectors. The announcement comes as the country’s exiled opposition leader, Sviatlana...
  • Pallywood: MK Ahmad Tibi, Anti-Israeli organizations publish a photo of a boy who fell off his bicycle and was injured as if he had been attacked by "settlers" in Hebron

    Yesterday Ahmed Tibi and anti-Israeli organizations spread the image of the innocent Palestinian child attacked in Hebron by Jews on the networks and the reactions provoked incitement of hatred and rage. But what is the truth (and the boy's family confirmed it themselves) - the boy actually fell off the bike and was injured, no one touched him. Tibi did not delete or apologize. Blood libel by a (Islamist) member of the Knesset!

    The Wall Street Journal ^ | November 22, 2022 | Stephen Fidler and Ann M. Simmons
    Russia has been burning through equipment, ammunition and weaponry at rates that have raised questions about how effectively and for how long it can continue to prosecute its war against Ukraine. The challenge of sustaining the military effort isn’t unique to Russia, which after making significant territorial gains early in the war has been yielding territory back to Ukraine in phases. Both sides have suffered heavy losses of men and materiel since the invasion began in February, but Moscow is more dependent on its own shrinking economy to replenish supplies than Kyiv is. Ukraine’s economy has been more devastated than...

    This year, Thanksgiving is not the time for patriots to go wobbly in the name of superficial dinnertime harmony. Are you preparing for a Thanksgiving holiday feast where everyone has been told “not to discuss politics?” This year, America First MAGAs must stop being afraid to stand patriotically for faith, family, and country. Stop worrying that Progressives sitting at your table will attack you with a turkey leg. And what if they do get angry and don’t talk to you? Maybe you shouldn’t talk to them!

  • ARMY OPERATIONS IN VIRGINIA: The Rebels Still Occupying Fredericksburgh; A Demand Made for the Surrender of the City (11/22/1862)

    WASHINGTON, Friday, Nov. 21. Advices from the Army of the Potomac say that the rebels still occupy Fredericksburgh with a small force, to dispute the crossing of the river. Some guns were yesterday brought to bear upon two ravines on the opposite side of the river, through which the railroad passes. The result is that no trains have attempted to run since. The weather is very disagreeable indeed, it having rained heavily all yesterday afternoon, swelling the streams to an unusual height. There is no news from the rebels.

    Colorado lawmakers create gun reform caucus less than a week before shooting by: Gabrielle Franklin Nov 21, 2022 DENVER (KDVR) — In recent years, state lawmakers have moved to address gun violence through state law, yet we continue to see shootings happen. Sadly, this is an issue lawmakers at the capitol were already looking at before the shooting on Saturday happened, saying the latest tragedy puts an exclamation point on their intentions. “Unfortunately, I think, not only did we know that this or something similar was coming, but we could have a similar story every day,” said Representative Meg Froelich....
  • Garland's special counsel appointment has Trump 2024 in mind but it's not what you think.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump. Do not be fooled: this act is not intended to remove Trump from the battlefield, but rather to help him ride to victory and become the GOP 2024 candidate. Democrats, who most recently subverted Republican primaries by pushing candidates they hoped would lose in the general election, are just that devious.
