The NYTimes editors felt they had to do something to counter the backlash they got from their readers over their disclosure of the fact that Mamdani had listed himself as “African-American” on a college application.

Mumdani has some problems with the Feds (naturalization to be a US citizen problems, Homeland Security problems - e.g., open support for officially-designated terrorist groups and individuals).

Developing…We’ll see if he makes it to Election Day, despite support from NYC chowderheads.

“They [NYTimes] know he’s a disaster.”

Yes. On the eve of the Primary, when the NYTimes did an editorial explaining why they weren’t endorsing anybody, they said he shouldn’t even be on the ballot, because of his lack of qualifications.

I think the Democrat leadership must be having back door conversations on what to do about him, in spite of their public lukewarm congratulations.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the House minority leader and Senate minority leader (Democrats Jeffries and Schumer) were both briefed prior to the attack.

Putin delivers a sternly worded message. Same as he did in support of Assad,

“Source?”

Big headline in the NYTimes. “Israel launches attack on Iran”

Yes, it was. There was a huge Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow - thousands of drones. But of course most media avoid mentioning that. Only refer to the Russian response.

So what else is new?
In the Middle Ages, when the populace got restless because of economic privations, the rulers went after the Jews, as a distraction.

Nowadays, the Ukraine scenario has gotten sort of stale, and the “coalition of the willing” didn’t prove to be popular, so the governors are going after the Jews once more.

Should be popular with the Muslim segment of their society (they hope).

Since the UK is so concerned about the welfare of the Palestinian Arabs, how about giving them refugee status in the UK?

He did try to cut Medicaid payments, but Schumer threw a monkey wrench in his plans. Cuomo was very angry with Schumer.

The hospitals were big contributors to the Cuomo campaign funds. Hospitals don’t like to care for elderly people - they require more care and attention than younger folks and Medicare doesn’t pay as much as private plans.

So as soon as the hospital ascertains you’re on Medicare, they try to arrange to have you discharged as soon as possible - that is, if they admit you at all.

Cuomo had his health administrator make a rule that nursing homes were obligated to accept people who a hospital had discharged, without the nursing home even doing a test for Covid. The nursing homes were unprepared and didn’t have the facilities to care for people with Covid.

What an SOB.

The pipeline comes back into play again. (The Saudis and Qataris wanted a pipeline through Syria to transport their natural gas to the Mediterranean and on into Europe via Turkey. Assad, at Russia’s request, wouldn’t permit it’s construction. Russia didn’t want the competition.)

I can see why the Saudis and Turkey are elated.

Well then, the defenders of democracy in the USA would say Mexico is a sovereign country who is threatening no one, and has a sovereign right to sign treaties with whomever it pleases.

“Russia doesn’t need the cease fire.”

Minsk III?
Merkel and Hollande openly stated that the purpose of the Minsk agreements was to give Ukraine time to build up its armed forces. So now the Euroweenies expect Russia to fall for another “Minsk” (in which not only Ukraine but now also Europe will get a respite and some more time to build up their armies)?

Do they think Putin is that stupid? Fool me once, shame on you. Fill me twice, shame on me.

The Euroweenies will not be amused.

Dawgangit! Hitler was supposed to take out the Commies and the Serbs, and now Russia wants to celebrate his defeat. Drat.

He “has assured Ukraine of more weapons from Germany.”

Well, the Panzers and the Luftwaffe appear to be depleted. Time to send in the Teutonic Knights.

“Misogynism, racism, xenophobia…”

They’re describing themselves. Bunch of fascists. (They were fine with Hitler - his thing about the Jews was just a “little aberration” - until he signed a pact with Russia.)

Little Z-Man is crazy. He needs to go off on a frozen lake somewhere and survive as best he can among his fantasies.

When Zelenski first ran for President, he ran on a peace platform. After he was elected, there were rumors that he’d better look out for his security.
Shortly afterward, he received a visitation from members of Svoboda, Right Sector, and other like-minded groups, and they read him the riot act.

He immediately changed his tune.

What he does and says now, is dictated by the Ukrainian “nationalists” - if he wants to stay alive.
