New poll shows more than half of US doesn't
trust President to negotiate with Putin

A devastating new poll for President Joe Biden released on Sunday shows Americans disagreeing with his handling of nearly every issue currently plaguing the United States. As inflation rises to the highest level in 40 years, just 28 percent of Americans believe he's handing it right while 69 percent disapprove. Biden is losing Americans' faith on the foreign policy front as well. After his two-hour video call with Vladimir Putin on his aggressive actions toward Ukraine last week, only 38 percent of Americans have faith he can negotiate with the Russian leader. Sixty-two percent of poll respondents said they have

As a recent wave of mob-led store robberies has put retailers, mall operators and communities on edge, one popular shopping center is keeping an unusual security measure in place through the holiday season. The Grove, a famous open-air shopping complex in Los Angeles, has added a high coil fence barrier that resembles barbed wire at the property's entrances and exits. Management added the "tangled tape" coil fencing, which is made from a custom aluminum-and-steel mesh, ahead of Thanksgiving weekend. The fencing is installed nightly after the mall closes and removed before it reopens, and it's just one of the security

towns, 'under attack' by 'mobile' criminals: Mayor 18 replies
Crime is spilling into Minneapolis’ suburbs, putting the neighborhoods "under attack from mobile criminals," one local mayor said. Our town, and our neighboring towns, have had their security and serenity under attack from mobile criminals who are coming into Edina and other nearby communities to steal private property and in some cases injuring people who resist or assist a victim," Edina Mayor Jim Hovland said in an email to residents of the town Sunday, Fox 9 reported. "Edina residents have become angry and fearful. The peace and tranquility of our community has been disrupted. At a time when we should
The United States on Sunday reached 800,000 coronavirus-related deaths, according to a Reuters tally, as the nation braces for a potential surge in infections due to more time spent indoors with colder weather and the highly transmissible Omicron variant of the virus. The milestone means the U.S. death toll from this one virus now exceeds the entire population of North Dakota. (Snip) Since the start of the year, over 450,000 people in the United States have died after contracting COVID-19, or 57% of all U.S. deaths from the illness since the pandemic started. The deaths this year were mostly in
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has relocated his restaurant headquarters from California to Texas, Dallas Morning News reported. Ramsay has hired a team of businessmen and chefs to expand his restaurant brand across North America, the outlet reported. It added that the team, which will be based in Las Colinas, plans to launch 18 restaurants in cities including Boston, Miami, and Chicago. (Snip) The availability of chefs and restaurant support staff, as well as the favourable tax policies, are what attracted them to Dallas, Abdallah told the outlet. "The cost of living adjustment [from California to Texas] is pretty substantial," he

MINNEAPOLIS - A woman is dead and a man is hospitalized with serious injuries after an overnight shooting in north Minneapolis. According to Minneapolis police, officers responded to multiple ShotSpotter activations at 3:30 a.m. Sunday near the 4400 block of Bryant Avenue N. Moments later, a 911 caller stated said he had been shot. (Snip) This is the 92nd homicide in Minneapolis in 2021. The most homicides in Minneapolis in a single year was 97 in 1995, when the New York Time dubbed the city "Murderapolis."

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris’ primary office is in the West Wing, around the corner from the Oval Office. Like her predecessors, she has put her own stamp on it, and her choices are revealing. A year into the job, the East Bay native has moved into her West Wing office space, sandwiched between the president’s chief of staff and national security adviser. The hallways leading to her space are adorned with photos of her on the job. (Snip) Behind her desk hangs an abstract painting on loan from the Smithsonian, “White Daisies Rhapsody” by Alama Woodsey Thomas in
"No, my cat is not dangerous," says Iranian animal lover Mostafa, outraged by a proposal from ultraconservative lawmakers to ban pets. The 25-year-old, who runs a pet supplies shop on busy Eskandari Street in downtown Tehran, is stunned. "Crocodiles can be called dangerous, but how can rabbits, dogs and cats be dangerous?" he asked incredulously about the bill introduced a month ago. The proposed law pits growing numbers of people with pets against those who consider the practice decadent and hold that under Islamic law dogs, like pigs, are unclean. According to media reports, 75 MPs, or one quarter of
HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES -- A devastated family is pleading for their beloved French bulldog be returned to them after they say three men held their mother at gunpoint in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and took off with the dog. Family said the frightening incident happened Wednesday around 7 p.m. on Detroit Street between Fountain and DeLongpre avenues. They say three men got out of a sedan and held the 58-year-old mother at gunpoint. The woman let go of the leash and the dog ran across the street, but was still captured by one the men. "Three men came out of their car
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Forget speeding tickets — California truck drivers will soon have to watch out for pollution tickets. State regulators on Thursday voted to crack down on heavy duty trucks weighing more than 14,000 pounds (6,350 kilograms) — those big semi-trailers that make up just 3% of all vehicles in California but spend so much time on the road they account for more than half of all pollution from cars and trucks each year. New rules will require these big trucks, including ones from other states passing through Califonria — to be tested at least four times per year to make sure they

History appears to be repeating itself on MSNBC as its primetime stars, again, buried the hate crime hoax that has now resulted in the conviction of disgraced "Empire" star Jussie Smollett. Smollett was found guilty on five of the six charges against him stemming from 2019 allegations that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic hate crime, which was later revealed he orchestrated. However, after the breaking news was mentioned on "The Beat with Ari Melber," Smollett's conviction was completely ignored by "ReidOut" host Joy Reid, "All In" host Chris Hayes, "The Rachel Maddow Show" host Rachel Maddow,"

A Muslim civil rights attorney who leads the San Francisco office of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, is drawing sharp criticism, including accusations of antisemitism, from local and national Jewish organizations after a November 27 speech. (Snip) “When we talk about Islamophobia, we think oftentimes about the vehement fascists,” Billoo said. “But I also want us to pay attention to the polite Zionists. The ones that say, ‘Let’s just break bread together.’” “They are not your friends,” she said. In the speech, delivered at an annual conference of American Muslims for Palestine, Billoo described a well-funded campaign to bolster

Buttigieg's husband mocks Biden admin

restarting student loan payments next
month: 'No thank you' 38 replies
The husband of U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appears less than enthusiastic about having to repay his student loans.
Chasten Buttigieg, who recently became a father to newborn twins with the transportation secretary, posted a screenshot on Instagram Saturday of a notification that his student loan relief from the COVID-19 pandemic will expire on January 31, 2022.
"These are the guys who complained that they couldn’t afford rent in DC on Pete’s $220K salary (and all their money from writing books)," Republican strategist Matt Whitlock commented. "A good reminder that the left’s ‘cancel student loan debt’ goal would overwhelmingly help financially comfortable people."
Pete Buttigieg is a lazy, ineffectual empty suit with a sonorous voice. His "husband" (a term I put in quotations because I will forever believe that marriage is a heterosexual institution) is even worse. This useless degree jockey put out a tweet on Sunday making it clear that he feels it's an imposition that he should be called upon to repay his student loans. That's bad. What's really bad is when you discover what those loans were for and what he's done with himself since school. Chasten received a notice telling him that Joe Biden was finally ending the COVID moratorium on repaying student loans.
Smash-and-grab thieves robbed a Rolls Royce dealership in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood on Saturday afternoon in broad daylight and made off with millions in luxury watches.According to police, the two thieves entered the Rolls Royce dealership on North Rush near Mag Mile just after 12 noon.One man in a mask and hoodie used a hammer to break the glass case and grabbed several luxury watches valued at over $2 million while another man armed with a gun stood by the front door.
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Fortune favors the brave but luck still finds its fair share of stupid people.
This long road trip is about to come to an end. I shall soon be heading back to my beloved desert to spend about 14 hours a day on a bike in order to deal with all of the carbohydrates consumed during my time away. Seriously, I should probably avoid beer until either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris are out of office.
Speaking of Democrats who really bother me, we have certainly been getting a faceful of Hillary Clinton in recent weeks.
The House's select committee on the January 6 Capitol attack voted 9-0 to hold Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress. The Monday night vote sets up a full House vote later this week, which if passed, would refer the matter to the Department of Justice. Prior to the vote, the committee members laid out their case against the ex-White House chief of staff, who was at former President Donald Trump's side during the January 6th insurrection. Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff read text messages to Meadows from Donald Trump Jr., Fox News host and GOP lawmakers,
Fox News must be thrilled to finally be rid of Chris Wallace, the only recognizable name at Fox regularly murdered by the competition.On Sunday, Wallace announced he was going to work for CNN. Oops, I mean CNN+, which will be CNN’s soon-to-be-failed streaming service.Well, let’s first point out Chris Wallace has always been working for CNN. So with this humiliating career demotion, all he’s doing now is making it official.But back to the ratings…

Oakland: NBC news crew robbed at gunpoint
24 replies
An NBC sports crew was robbed at gunpoint Saturday morning in Oakland, police said. The crew was on assignment in the Jack London Square area when three armed individuals took a camera from inside the crew’s vehicle, according to Oakland Police Department spokesperson Kim Armstead. None of the crew members were holding the camera at the time and there were no injuries. The robbery marks the third incident involving news organizations in Oakland in the last two-and-a-half weeks. On Dec. 3, a San Francisco Chronicle photographer was robbed at gunpoint in West Oakland. And on Nov. 24, Kevin Nishita—a security guard and former police officer
Vice President Kamala Harris addressed both her growing army of critics and sinking approval ratings in an interview published Sunday by citing the burdens of high office, claiming “there is nothing about this job that is supposed to be easy.”
The San Francisco Chronicle aired the vice president’s observations from an exchange conducted last week.
In the report Harris chose to simply ignore her many failures since achieving office while carping that her critics simply do not understand the difficulties involved in discharging her duties.
On Sunday's Meet the Press, Chuck Todd gathered around him (snip) John Heilemann, a leftist journalist; Marianna Sotomayor, a leftist journalist; Brendan Buck, an ostensible Republican who worked for Paul Ryan and John Boehner; and Kimberly Atkins Stohr, a leftist journalist. All five were unanimous: democracy in America is over because Americans don't believe that Biden honestly won his seat in the White House. The hyperbole was thick in the air, along with more than a soupçon of hypocrisy and a huge dollop of fear. John Heilemann contends that 20 to 30 million people are lusting after political violence, which he immediately analogizes to lynching.
The Pentagon said Monday that no action would be taken against military personnel involved in the botched drone strike that killed 10 civilians in Kabul as American forces withdrew in August.
Seven children were among the dead when a Hellfire missile hit a saloon car mistakenly identified as being packed with explosives in the Afghan capital. U.S. nerves were on edge three days after an ISIS-K suicide bomber killed 170 Afghans and 13 American service members at Hamid Karzai International Airport. At a briefing, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said senior commanders had made recommendations to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin - none of which included holding any officers accountable.
The Medical Profession Implodes

In “normal” times, the practice of medicine has many challenges, some from within and some from outside the profession. (snip) What changed overnight and across the board, was an anti-science attitude across all specialties to everything related to COVID. A viral infection is not something requiring government management, rather, its encounter is part of a physician’s daily medical practice. The government has seemingly accomplished what medical insurers, medical boards, and hospitals tried, but had not yet succeeded at: complete mind control of physicians. And with that, the last vestige of respect I had for my profession died.
The alliance of mainstream Democrats with communism is becoming obvious. I am so old that I can remember when embracing the Communist Party was a political death sentence. But Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-natch) Connecticut, already notorious for his stolen valor in claiming to have served in Vietnam, was not shy about becoming the “surprise guest” when
The Connecticut People’s World Committee presented its annual Amistad Awards on Saturday to mark the 102nd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party USA, with awards being presented to Sen. Julie Kushner, D-Danbury, Pastor Rodney Wade of Waterbury and SEIU activist Azucena Santiago.
