Call this a case of "be careful what you wish for—you might get it." For years, the liberal media has been salivating at the prospect of Donald Trump being criminally charged. NewsBusters has chronicled the many times the MSM has imagined the "walls closing in" on the former president. But now that it seems possible that Trump might actually be charged in Manhattan this week in connection with the alleged hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels, it looks like Morning Joe can't rejoice over it. They're still worrying about how Trump might escape it. After a segment today began with Kevin...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

VIDEO It's not just some plot to ruin other nation's anthems such as the American and Russian national anthems. Saudi Arabia has such a horrible military band that they also screw up their own national anthem. No discrimination there. All national anthems are played in an equally HORRIBLE manner. In fact the band is so horrible that it is HILARIOUS! Perhaps the funniest part is watching the reactions of the dignitaries and guests who are either trying to suppress their grimaces or to keep from bursting out laughing.

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow today for a three-day state visit. The two powers will discuss the War in Ukraine, strengthening ties, and the emerging global world order. The two are expected to announce solidarity against Western hegemony. The current lack of US leadership on the international stage opened the door for this Russo-Chinese alliance. see tweets

The lawyer for imprisoned Jan. 6 protester Jacob Chansely is moving to vacate his client’s 41-month sentence. Chansely, dubbed the “QAnon Shaman” by the media, was smeared as a “violent insurrectionist” and sentenced to almost four years in prison on politically motivated charges. However, new information has emerged that proves Chansley was peacefully protesting at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Videos revealed that Chansely was also encouraging other protesters to remain peaceful, directly contradicting the media’s smears.

On March 19, 2023, Yahoo News published this article, which is called, “A Landlord Got a Low Appraisal. He Is Black, and So Are His Tenants.”Source: https://news.yahoo.com/landlord-got-low-appraisal-black-143506573.htmlThen on the very next day, March 20, 2023, Yahoo News published this other article, which called, “‘We don’t deserve to be priced out’: Law aims to end gentrification in Black neighborhoods”Source: https://www.yahoo.com/news/dont-deserve-priced-law-aims-090417689.htmlSo, at the same time, racism is causing the price of housing in black neighborhoods to be both too low, and too high.The people who see racism everywhere will never be happy with the price of housing in black neighborhoods.If the price...

Its no mystery to me that San Francisco’s First Republic Bank is hurting. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is calling for hearings into the banking meltdown. Hey Liz, look at San Francisco’s First Republic Bank as a case study. The infamous Covid surge in M2 Money supply (green line) produced a big surge in bank price stocks, thanks in part to the insane spending that Congress made following Covid (I’m looking at you, Liz!). But now The Fed is slowing M2 Money growth and banks like First Republic are paying the price. As The Fed tightens, earnings per share for First...

Everyone who has listened to gunshots in close proximity knows some cartridges are much louder than others. In the other direction, some cartridges are much quieter than others.Everyone understands a .22 LR out of a rifle is much quieter than a .338 magnum out of a rifle.Not as widely understood, loads for the same cartridge vary widely in how loud gunshots are perceived. The .22 Long Rifle cartridge is a good example. The highest energy .22 LR cartridges, such as the Aguila Interceptor and the CCI Velocitor, are much louder than CCI Standard Velocity, even though all are firing 40-grain...

Its the start of a new week after the closure of several US banks (SVP, Signature) and the failure of Credit Suisse. But swaps spreads have calmed down a bit and are no where near the credit crisis highs of late 2008. Or the plain vanilla swap between fixed and variable contracts (white line) has simmered down a bit. BUT was never as high as it was during the financial crisis. Panic by The Fed and FDIC much? And the 2-year Treasury yield dropped -10 basis points … again. … and at exactly 5pm the Fed announced “coordinated central bank...

My dad was one of 32,000 Australians who served under General Douglas MacArthur in WW2's last major battle on the coast of Balikpapan in 1945. I feel in me from my father a faith that the innate systemic goodness of most human beings can defeat the evil which sometimes corrupts this world. After fleeing the Phillipines, General MacArthur took the essential human yearnings for discipline and peace and channeled them for victories from this date, March 20 in 1942 (when he was recorded making his iconic “I shall return.” promise in Aussie outback trainstop town Terowie) till Japanese imperialism was...

It’s just the flu, bro. Three years ago was the first “It’s just the flu, bro” thread. The threads were daily for a year and a half or so, but now it is an annual update. For this annual update, like future updates, we must remember: 1. we told you so, and 2. the literal and broader side effects of lockdowns, masks and mandatory vaccines are continuing to appear. Human fertility is down since all of this started. I am not sure how much is due to couples avoiding pregnancy due to fear and how much is due to the...

After eight seasons, four gender-affirming surgeries, and hormone replacement therapy, TLC's I Am Jazz star Jazz Jennings still feels uncomfortable in her own skin. Breitbart reports that Jazz still doesn't feel like herself, suggesting something is missing, even though she had gender-affirming surgery.

Linköping, as Sweden broke free of Poland and of Catholicism. Eighty years before, the Swedish Vasa dynasty had established itself by surviving one bloodbath. Now, it would set its greatest scion in line for the throne by inflicting another. Sigismund was Sweden’s legitimate heir; he was also a characteristic product of dynastic intermarriage whose loyalties were splintered between fiefdoms. But most crucially of all, he had been raised Catholic in a realm turning decisively towards Protestantism. Born of a Polish-Italian mother, he had secured the Polish-Lithuanian throne by election in 1589; when succession added suzerainty of Sweden, his realm was...

What looks like a blatantly political attack on President Donald Trump from a "justice system" in New York, leads me to revisit these thoughts on Australian police state tyranny from September 6 2020: "Respecting The Police Is A Two Way Street. ...... any society needs a respected police force to be sustainable ...... Respect for police is impossible when the police become a political tool of a corrupt government or corrupt or incompetent politicians. Premier Daniel Andrews of Victoria leads a political party where a politician can use the police to trash the democratic rights of a citizen at election...

Late Saturday night a report came out that maybe President Trump won’t be arrested on Tuesday. The American people force-fed liberal garbage for another entire weekend. We’ll never get this time back. The monsters on the now-communist left dropped the news on Saturday that they will be arresting President Trump on Tuesday.
