Killer whales sink yacht in 45-minute
attack, Polish tour agency says

A group of orcas managed to sink a yacht off the coast of Morocco last week, after its 45-minute attack on the vessel caused irreparable damage, a Polish tour company said. The incident happened Tuesday, Oct. 31, as a crew with the boat touring group sailed through the Strait of Gibraltar. The narrow waterway bridges the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, which separates the southern tip of Europe from northern Africa. A pod of orcas, colloquially called killer whales, approached the yacht and "hit the steering fin for 45 minutes, causing major damage and leakage," the tour agency Morskie Mile, which is based in Warsaw and operated the yacht,

Last Thursday, over at X (formerly Twitter), the Real James Woods responded pithily to a longer comment posted by an account named “Denlesks.” Stated Woods:
Biden’s border catastrophe could well be the ruination of America.
Here’s what Denlesks posted:
Of all the bad things Biden has done the one that will bite us hardest is leaving the border unprotected. America’s next war won’t be in Ukraine or Israel or Taiwan. Our next war will be on American soil against the enemy soldiers Biden let into the country.
Denlesks needs to expand his horizons. The prospect is that there won’t be an either/or. Chances are, we’ll be slugging it out somewhere overseas
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) When I first became active in politics back in Olden Times, things weren't as, well, snippy as they are here in the social media meltdown 21st century. It was possible to admire what my foes the Democrats were up to at times. For example, they used to be great at playing the long game in politics. Republicans were reacting to what was hot in a particular election cycle, while the Dems were getting their pre-teens prepped for an eventual school board run on their way to Congress.
They've still got some of that going on, but the emotions for which Democrats
Bear, Delaware -- U.S. President Joe Biden announces more than $16 billion in new funding for rail projects on the Northeast Corridor while surrounded by trains inside the Amtrak Bear Heavy Maintenance Facility on November 06, 2023 in Bear, Delaware. Last week Biden threatened to veto legislation proposed by House Republicans for FY2024 that would cut Amtrak funding by 64% below the 2023 enacted level. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
President Joe Biden loves to tell a story of an Amtrak conductor he once knew even though it has been repeatedly debunked.
And on Monday, he told it twice — in an hour.
During a meeting with Amtrak workers,
Leave It to Believer

Based on recent polls, Democrat strategist David Axelrod believes Joe Biden would be “wise” to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. Axelrod comes billed as a “former Obama advisor,” but that sells him short. The New York Times hailed him as “Obama’s narrator,” and he signed off on his client’s every word.
In 2015 Axelrod authored Believer: My Forty Years in Politics. “Authenticity is an indispensable requirement for any successful candidate, but particularly for a president,” Axelrod explained. “Biography is foundational.” The believer “felt more comfortable, and proficient at, telling stories” than running ads.
Axelrod describes Obama as a great writer with a novelist’s eye.
Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who called herself Aiden Hale in her fantasy life as a male, was a product of what the Left has done to education. She couldn’t spell “white privilege,” but she knew it was evil, and was determined to do her part to eradicate it from the face of the earth. On March 27, 2023, she took a rifle into Nashville Covenant School, a Christian school in that city, and murdered three nine-year-old children and three adults, one of whom was black. Audrey Hale epitomizes what the Left inculcates into America’s children: bitter hatred and envy, violence, gender confusion, and abysmal ignorance of what everyone
I see the drag queens, black-masked thugs, and vagina hat wearing spinsters at every Democrat party event. I know the Dems are the party of radicals, community organizers, and the occasional posse-organizing bartender. But there are also a great many average Joes who habitually vote Democrat. The average Joe is a law-abiding, churchgoing family man who votes Democrat because he wants to make the world better -- and has been led to believe that the Dems want that also.
The average Joe:
Wants some social safety nets -- but not over $33 trillion of debt.
Wants clean air and water -- but not at the expense of worldwide destitution.
Believes that immigration
To the knowledge of principled, modestly engaged, CNN-watching citizens, President Joe Biden stands strongly with Israel as it faces unprecedented threats to its existence. So, it appears, cheers are in order for Joe, our strong President.
But not so fast. Perhaps more than any leader on the planet except Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Biden’s actions were a causative factor in bringing on the recent devastating invasion of American ally Israel. And more than anyone else, Biden presently is both weakening Israel strategically, and strengthening Hamas militarily, as Israel desperately seeks to assure its safety.
This criticism of Biden, at first blush, may seem overstated.
Joe Biden continues to wreck our world

The world is nothing but murders, massacres and the threat of war.
It's gotten so bad, you wake up and ask, "Who died overnight?" Or "Whose rockets and bombs hit who this time?"
I'll go out on a limb here and blame most of the world's turmoil and tragedy on President Biden and his handlers.
Three years into his presidency, Biden has already got us mixed up in two bloody wars, blown our Southern border wide open, brought us 8% inflation and too much other trouble and pain to list.
President Obama's warning quip that Joe has a way of screwing up everything he touches came true a long time ago —

Keep Your Head on a Swivel

This is an essay about surviving. We should be living our lives today with an expectation that something bad will soon happen. That feeling should not dominate our existence or preclude us from pursuing rich and joyful lives, but it should keep us mentally vigilant and physically prepared before disaster strikes. In this Obama-Biden America of open borders, out-of-control violent crime, economic fragility, and international provocations, it is only a matter of time before conflicts abroad become conflicts at home. It is vitally important to keep your head on a swivel.

The Deadly Folly of Our Open Border
4 replies
Borders are “real or artificial lines that separate geographic areas,” according to National Geographic. They describe the purpose of borders - “to keep out invaders,” to “keep citizens in,” or to “protect resources.”
How is the U.S. border doing on these accounts?
Who is coming into America? Are we being invaded? What about American resources? I don’t mean minerals or timber, but taxpayer-funded resources such as food, shelter, clothing, education, and health care.
Our border is not keeping anyone in, especially virtue-signaling celebrities promising to leave America if a Republican is elected. Cher promises to leave
Remember St. George of Fentanylville, the career criminal who once held a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman? He was martyred while resisting arrest for a felony, after having fought his way out of the squad car and requiring four adult male officers to wrestle him to the ground. Whether he died from the weight of the officers or from a drug overdose is open for debate. But what is undebatable is the epilogue. American cities burned and innocents were murdered in response to this supposed revelation of American systemic racism against blacks. Whatever your opinion of Derek Chauvin, not a single shred of evidence

An ABC panel on Sunday openly discussed Joe Biden, the most popular president in US history, stepping aside and being replaced by another Democrat after a new NYT poll shows Trump leading in 5 crucial swing states.
The media has been given the green light to throw Joe Biden in the trash can.
Joe Biden is currently lagging behind Trump in five of the six most crucial battleground states as the 2024 election approaches, according to new polls by The New York Times and Siena College.
It turns out Americans aren’t happy with persistent inflation, high gas prices (Bidenomics) and wars/rumors of wars, military-aged males invading the southern border.
Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.
A leaked manifesto reveals the Nashville trans school shooter had a violent hatred of the “little crackers” with “white privilege” that were murdered. (snip) Hale later prayed to God in the manifesto to help her in the mass shooting. "(God let my wrath take over my anxiety) It might be 10 minutes tops. It might be 3-7.

(snip) In one of the pages headlined, "Kill those kids!!!,” Hale calls the students “crackers” and expresses hatred for their “white privilege.”
Former President Barack Obama came out swinging in favor of Joe Biden this weekend despite the fact that Democrats have begun to sour on his 2024 candidacy.
In a post on X, Obama shared a video of Joe Biden celebrating the 15-year anniversary of their 2008 victory — the night Barack Obama became the first black president with Joe Biden as his vice president.“For eight years, [Biden] and I worked to deliver change for the American people. I couldn’t have asked for a better Vice President and friend — and we’ll always be thankful to all the campaign staff and Administration alumni who helped bring that progress to folks
The Biden administration reportedly would not sell weapons to Israel unless the country guaranteed that guns would not be given to civilians.
In other words, they are now trying to force their gun control desires into foreign policy issues.
As many people have pointed out, a large portion of the Israeli’s who died in the October 7th attack were not armed, which made the situation much worse than it could have been.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
The American Medical Association (AMA) will debate whether to reverse its stance on assisted suicide this month at its next interim meeting. A set of resolutions, proposed by AMA’s Resident and Fellow section, suggest the AMA should abandon its opposition to assisted suicide, adopting instead a neutral stance on the practice. The resolutions also propose changing the official language from “assisted suicide” to “medical aid in dying” (MAID) at the meeting,[Snip] These proposals, if adopted, fundamentally change the AMA’s position on assisted suicide. The AMA determined in its last policy deliberations that assisted suicide is “fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer.”

Removing Limits on Abortion, Gender-Transition Procedures 19 replies
Ohio voters approved a ballot measure Tuesday night that will effectively outlaw any restrictions on abortion and other procedures that involve reproduction, including gender-transition surgeries.
The measure, known as Issue 1, will also remove parental-consent and notification requirements for minors who undergo the procedures.
The amendment includes vague language about prohibiting any law that “directly or indirectly” would “burden” or “interfere” with “reproductive decisions.” Opponents of the measure argue it would also outlaw nearly any restrictions on abortion or other reproduction-related procedures,
ABC’s The View has never been a place for smart and informed discussions about politics. And that certainly wasn’t the case on Monday’s episode when Daily Show guest host and so-called “comedian” Leslie Jones openly admitted that before she joined Saturday Night Live in 2014, she seriously thought the Electoral College was a real place where politicians went to school. In 2014, Jones was 47 years old.
Appearing on The View to promote her new book, the cast heaped obsequious praise on their guest. “And you don't shy away from politics.
Special counsel Jack Smith's team filed a lengthy response Monday to former President Donald Trump's motions to dismiss his federal election interference case on statutory and constitutional grounds, saying the former president "stands alone in American history for his alleged crimes."
Trump's lawyers have filed multiple motions to dismiss the Jan. 6 case, including mounting arguments that the charges brought against him were unconstitutionally applied and ran afoul of the charging statutes. Trump in August pleaded not guilty to charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors," using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations,"
Three reasons Trump is leading Biden

The entire Democratic political establishment freaked out on Sunday morning when the New York Times published a story headlined, "Trump Leads in 5 Critical States as Voters Blast Biden, Times/Sienna Poll Finds." The story was based on a new survey in which voters in six key swing states — Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada — were asked whether they supported President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump in a 2024 matchup. The result: In five of those states, all except Wisconsin, Trump led Biden.
The poll found Trump leading by 10 points in Nevada, by 6 in Georgia, 5 in Arizona and Michigan, and 4 in Pennsylvania
