New Year, New War

Last week, St. Petersburg governor Alexander Beglov announced the cancellation of New Year’s festivities in the city. The budgeted funds will go toward helping the families of those serving in the war. (snip)This is not a small thing, even though it is a symbolic one. Christmas and New Year’s are big events in Russia. (snip) The war is now a national concern and everyone is expected to contribute to the cause. (anip)
“The Russians are now beginning to view the conflict as a war for survival.”
(snip) The public has accepted that the war was necessary to defend Russia from the West.

The Cleveland Indians are the most exciting team in baseball. They have 10 rookies on their 26-man roster. Six others were rookies last year. They play small ball and win. They are managed by Tito Francona Jr., a grandpa who led the Boston Red Sox in 2004 to their first World Series championship in 86 years.
Fans in Cleveland shun the Cleveland Indians this year.
That's because the team is not the Cleveland Indians. Management caved in to Woke Know Nothings and changed the name to Guardians this year. Attendance was 25th among the 30 major league teams.
During the current Ukrainian war, the media has created a mythology that the Left was tough on Vladimir Putin’s Russia. And thus, now it simply continues its hard-nosed efforts in Ukraine.
But nothing could be further from the truth. Aside from Biden’s original panic of evacuating American diplomatic personnel from Kyiv, offering a ride out of Ukraine for the Zelenskyy government that would have effectively collapsed his nation’s resistance, and hesitation in selling Ukraine offensive weapons, there is also a prior legacy that had done a great deal of harm.
Indeed, many of America’s current difficulties in Ukraine originate from the Obama-Biden Administration’s former disastrous policies toward Russia birthed between 2009-2016.
Three Latino members of the Los Angeles City Council and a top county labor official held a conversation last fall that included racist remarks, derisive statements about their colleagues and council President Nury Martinez saying a white councilman handled his young Black son as though he were an “accessory,” according to a recording of the meeting reviewed by The Times.
Martinez, while discussing Councilman Mike Bonin’s child, said, “Parece changuito,” or “He’s like a monkey,” soon afterward.
A few minutes after Martinez discussed Bonin’s son, the topic of conversation moved to Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón, who was facing growing political opposition.
“F— that guy,” Martinez said,
A new policy was implemented last week by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which seeks to collect the addresses of gun purchasers in a bid to comply with new federal law.
Federally licensed firearms dealers (FFLs) will now be required to provide the FBI with the personal addresses of individuals who attempt to make a purchase but are denied or have a delayed transaction. The FBI will also provide local law enforcement with details of failed transactions, which include delayed transactions, as well as the personal information of rejected individuals. Earlier, firearms dealers only had to provide a purchaser’s state of residence rather than their full address
A group of U.S. House Republicans on Oct. 7 sent a letter questioning Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the presence of Chinese service stations in New York City.
“We are writing to express our grave concern over reports of the law enforcement presence of the People’s Republic of China in New York City,” (snip)
“The Chinese overseas police service station established in New York City earlier this year appears to be a further step of China’s illicit long arm policing on U.S. soil that violates our sovereignty,” Republican Study Committee chairman Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Reps. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), and 18
A federal judge in Texas has issued a ruling that prevents federal mandates from imposing pronouns and unisex bathrooms on employers.
In State of Texas v Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Matthew Kacsmaryk, U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of Texas in Amarillo, declared the March 2, 2021 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Civil Rights Guidance and June 15, 2021 EEOC guidance unlawful. However, the court stopped short of granting the state’s request for injunctive relief.
“Title VII as interpreted in Bostock does not require such accommodations,” wrote Judge Kacsmaryk in his Oct. 1 decision.
Donald Trump is the kingmaker of the Republican Party, and for that reason alone, he remains the best choice for 2024 despite the firestorm of negative media coverage, censorship, and the looming threat of indictment, which have haunted him since being forced out of office in January 2021. In the time since Trump has been gone, Americans have watched their economy tank, their freedoms attacked, and we are now disconcertingly close to an out-and-out ground war with nuclear Russia. Meanwhile, Democrats plan to do irreparable damage to institutions (like the Supreme Court) that have checked the worst excesses of liberal hegemony. The military industrial complex, having been subdued in the
Sabotage Update: Crimea, Germany

By now readers will have learned of the sabotage attack on the Kerch Bridge. It’s the longest bridge in Europe and provides a rail link from the southern Russian region of Krasnodar to Crimea. It spans the Kerch straits, which connect the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, with its important port of Mariupol: (maps)The bridge has both roadway as well as railroad sections, and it appears that one of the roadway sections was severed. Whether other structural damage occurred is not known for certain, but there are reports that rail traffic will be quickly restored. (snip) Reports are that the damage was caused by a truck bomb
Florida’s law barring businesses from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination is likely legal, a federal appeals court has ruled.
The law, passed in 2021, says that a business “may not require patrons or customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or postinfection recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the business operations in this state.”
“Florida’s statute is a regulation of economic conduct that only incidentally burdens speech, which does not implicate the First Amendment,” (snip) “And its burdens on interstate commerce do not exceed the benefits of furthering Florida’s substantial interests in protecting its residents from discrimination and invasions of privacy.”
The message that hurricane-ravaged Florida is an inhospitable place for looters was driven home by an outspoken Polk County sheriff, who in a media appearance on Friday urged Floridians to shoot looters breaking into their homes so they look “like grated cheese.”
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd issued the warning during an Oct. 7 appearance on “Fox & Friends,” while commenting on the problem of looters preying on vulnerable households in the wake of Hurricane Ian’s devastation.
“I would highly suggest that if a looter breaks into your home, comes into your home while you’re there to steal stuff, that you take your gun and you shoot him,” Judd said.
A report emerged in September that said Chinese authorities have opened 110 police service centers outside of mainland China—including one in New York City—that repatriate Chinese people using coercion, according to a security policy expert, but which also may be used for sabotage or espionage.
Frank Gaffney, the executive chairman at the Washington-based Center for Security Policy, said that as part of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) global transnational repression those service centers can be tools to conduct espionage and sabotage work.
“The Chinese are not simply forcing people to go back to China and stand trial, but they may be giving them directions to do other things,” such as espionage, recruitment,

run during ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ appearance 56 replies
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he was open to another run for the White House in 2024.
The brash-talking Garden State pol floated the idea during an appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” which aired Friday, in response to an audience question on the subject.
Sure,” he said, when if he was interested.
“This show’s rubbing off on him, he’s getting very bold,” Maher said.
“Yeah, that was me, I never had the reputation of being bold. Wallflower type,” Christie shot back.
Christie ran for president in 2016, along with 16 other major contenders — all of whom were defeated by Donald Trump.

The headline over at Fox News this last week told the tale:
Tony Bobulinski tells Tucker Carlson Joe Biden was 'chairman' of Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings
Fox’s Tucker Carlson — aka a real journalist — had scored another interview with one-time Biden family business associate Tony Bobulinski. And mysteriously?
Two days later the Washington Post soon appeared with its own Hunter Biden story, headlining this: Federal agents see chargeable tax, gun-purchase case against Hunter Biden
The Post story reported this:
“Federal agents investigating President Biden’s son Hunter have gathered what they believe is sufficient evidence to charge him with tax crimes
Migrants should be imported to fill millions of empty jobs, even though about seven million working-age American men have dropped out of the workforce, says a right-of-center columnist at the Washington Post.
“We need immigrants to help fill these jobs,” Marc Thiessen wrote on December 4, after dismissing the millions of American men who have been sidelined during the last 20 years.
Thiessen’s discard Americans proposal is “morally abhorrent” but is also commonplace among the GOP establishment, responded Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies:
He is just one among many saying that
The prestigious Vanderbilt University has suspended gender altering surgeries at its medical center after outrage over claims the hospital 'chemically castrates' minors for financial gain. Vanderbilt University Medical Center [VUMC] confirmed it was freezing all 'gender affirmation surgery' on underage patients pending a review of their processes, in response to calls from Tennessee lawmaker to investigate the hospital. VUMC came under fire last month after conservative activist Matt Walsh released a 2018 video showing Dr. Shayne Taylor—an LGBTQ specialist at the hospital—touting the lucrative financial business of performing transgender surgeries. Walsh also sent a report following his own investigation into VUMC's trans program which found the hospital 'drugs,
A woman in Evanston is hospitalized after she was gored by a buck just outside her back door Thursday. The buck also jabbed her husband when he jumped in to help.
It was a real shock for a neighborhood that is used to seeing plenty of deer.
Mid-morning on Thursday, Wanda Kaynor stepped outside to take her husband, Daniel, to an appointment.
“There was this buck sitting there, just laying there,” he said.
Wanda Kaynor was startled, and so was the couples’ dog. The dog went after the buck.

of GOP Candidate, Releases Unbelievably
Disgusting Story 27 replies
In what may be the most egregious example of gutter politics of the 2022 cycle, Politico obtained and wrote a story on the stolen military records of GOP House Candidate Jennifer-Ruth Green, who is facing off against Democrat incumbent Frank Mrvan in Indiana.
But while the hacks at Politico were obviously looking for dirt, what they instead found was an instance of Green being sexually assaulted by an Iraqi soldier while she was serving a tour in the Middle-Eastern nation. Yet, instead of hitting pause, recognizing the sensitive nature of such personal information and the harm releasing it could cause, Politico published it anyway. [Tweets]
President Joe Biden and top administration officials are seeking to downplay the decision from OPEC+ to cut daily oil production by 2 million barrels after steadily decreasing domestic gas prices boosted the president and Democrats' electoral odds heading into the midterm elections. The decision comes shortly after Biden traveled to Saudi Arabia, where the president met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and asked Saudi officials to ramp up production as a means of easing global energy prices amid the war in Ukraine. Publicly, the White House is putting on a strong face in responding to the new cuts. Biden
The mainstream media has claimed that hurricanes have grown more frequent and intense in recent years, though scientists have found no major changes in hurricane activity in over a century.
With the landfall of Hurricane Ian in Florida, the media has repeatedly instilled fear over the impacts of climate change and its alleged worsening effects on the Category 4 storm. Media outlets including The Washington Post, AP News, Miami Herald and Reuters have immediately framed their coverage around the climate crisis and its role in intensifying storms.
The controversial Marxist co-founder of Black Lives Matter recently completed tens of thousands of dollars in renovations at her posh Los Angeles home, including building a new plunge pool and backyard sauna, according to a new report.
Patrisse Cullors, 39, the former leader of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, also added a children’s play area for her young son outside her 2,580-square foot three-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Los Angeles’ Topanga Canyon neighborhood, photos show.
Abortion allegations against Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker have roiled one of the country’s tightest races that could decide the majority in the now 50-50 chamber.
The closeness of the race — Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) leads by 1.3 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average — means it could be swung by any bombshell report, and abortion is a key issue.
But national Republicans are standing by Walker, who said the latest accusation against him is a “flat-out lie,” and if he wins, five factors might contribute.
Migrants bused into New York City have been walking through the streets of a Staten Island neighborhood asking for food, clothes and work after they were put up in hotels there.
The migrants — many not ready for the colder temperatures of the Big Apple — are staying at a property in Travis-Chelsea that includes the Staten Island Inn, Holiday Inn, and Fairfield Inn and Suites Marriott, sources and workers told the Post.
The Staten Island Inn is completely booked with migrants, one worker claimed.
During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Wall Street Week,” Harvard Professor, economist, Director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton Larry Summers reacted to OPEC+’s production cut by stating that “we made a mistake by canceling the Keystone pipeline. We made a mistake by slowing down all kinds of permitting activity. We made a mistake by being hostile as a country to natural gas.” And arguing that “we need a different kind of energy strategy than the one that we’ve had. We need a strategy that is balanced, rather than an unbalanced
