I saw the movie "A Boy and His Dog" years ago.
At the end of the movie the boy's girl friend acts annoying. There is a break in the scene and the dog (who is telegraphic) are finishing a meal. The dog says, "Well your girl friend didn't have good taste but she did taste good"

One of the few actors that always seem to be the right person for the role he was playing at the time An he played a book full of TV/Movie roles.
Looking back on his career, I noticed he was UNLIKE too many current day actors. He stuck to acting and did not dabble in "Causes" to enhance his career.

[REGNUM] Former Mexican President Luis Echeverria Alvarez has died at the age of 101. This was announced on July 9 by the country's incumbent President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
"On behalf of the Mexican government, I extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Luis Echeverria Alvarez," he wrote on his Twitter page.
According to media reports, the former politician died the day before at his home in Cuernavaca. The cause of his death is not known.
Luis Echeverría Alvarez served as president of Mexico from 1970-1976, before that he was the country's interior minister for six years. As head of state in 1973 he paid an official visit to the USSR.
[NYT] PICAYUNE, Miss. — With the rifle skills she honed in the Mississippi backwoods, Victoria Bauer had a path to escape the trap of drugs and dead-end jobs she saw most everywhere around her. Her future was in the Marines, she decided, and she had an idea about how to get there.
Across the way from her freshman algebra class, Ms. Bauer approached Steve Hardin, the retired Navy intelligence officer who guided the high school’s Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, a leadership program sponsored by the U.S. military at high schools across the country. He welcomed her into the fold, she said, and seemed interested in how her family, which traced roots back to the Four Winds Cherokee of Louisiana, had been displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Soon, her 45-year-old J.R.O.T.C. instructor was messaging her on Snapchat late into the night, telling her that it would "drive the guys crazy" if she wore a "small bikini" during the trip to their next out-of-state shooting competition. Then one night in 2015 as he drove her home from rifle practice, she told investigators, Mr. Hardin pushed his hand into her pants and penetrated her with his fingers — the start of what she said was months of sexual assaults. Ms. Bauer, who was 15 at the time, feared that resisting him would jeopardize her shot at advancement through the J.R.O.T.C. ranks or a military career.
"I gave all the body-language signals that I didn’t want it," Ms. Bauer said in an interview. "I didn’t feel like I had a choice."

No, this is a "Big School" thing more than a "JROTC thing". If it was a Gymnastics teacher ("you want an athletics scholarship so [s###] my...") it would be just as despicable. The JROTC angle just makes the journalists get a warm fuzzy to report on it.
Ricci Wynne, 37, a self-described recovering addict, posts videos of San Francisco's open-air drug market
This one shows elementary school kids filing off a bus in the Golden Gate city at 8th Street and Mission past dozens of sickly users nodding out on the sidewalk
Wynne says the government's permissive drug policies have failed and his videos are taken to bring awareness and take back the streets of San Francisco
In December, Mayor London Breed declared a state of emergency because of the rampant drug use in the Tenderloin District
The open-air drug den in the video which the young children are forced to walk through is just a block away from the city's notorious taxpayer-funded Linkage Center, which quickly became a site for addicts to take illicit drugs on the street in broad daylight.
The Tenderloin Linkage Center was set up in January in a bid to direct the city's homeless drug addicts towards services that could help them, including medical care and rehab.
It was opened after Mayor London Breed declared a state of emergency in the Tenderloin district and calling for police to crackdown on open drug uses and dealing.
The site, which is said to have cost $19 million in taxpayer cash, treated just one in every 1,000 users and failed to cut fatal overdose numbers. Only 0.1 percent of those using the site Between January and April, just 18 of the 23,367 drug users who visited the site were referred for treatment.
Furthermore, the rate of fatal overdoses has not declined in a meaningful way: in January the office of the chief medical examiner reported 49 deaths, and last month there were 45.
And the center even went on to quietly drop the word 'linkage' from its title, because so few of the drug abusers who visited were being linked to any meaningful form of help.
After fierce backlash, the center will close by the end of the year after Breed said its lease will not be renewed.
Instead, Breed has talked about opening up a 'safe consumption site', and proposed spending $4 million on projects in the Tenderloin next year such as street or park improvements.
Last month, the city's district attorney, Chesa Boudin, was recalled after voters lost faith with his progressive policies.
[CBS] Dale Schroeder was a simple, humble man from Iowa, who ended up changing the lives of 33 people forever. Schroeder worked as a carpenter at the same company for 67 years. He grew up poor and had no wife or children of his own.
His friend Steve Nielsen described Schroeder as a "blue collar, lunch pail kind of guy."
"Went to work every day. Worked really hard. Was frugal. Like a lot of Iowans," Nielsen told CBS Des Moines affiliate KCCI-TV.
Schroeder ended up paying for 33 strangers' college tuitions. The group, who has dubbed themselves "Dale's kids," got together earlier this month to honor the man who changed their lives. They're now doctors, teachers, therapists — and friends.
There's just one thing Schroeder asked for in return. "All we ask is that you pay it forward," Nielsen said. "You can't pay it back, because Dale is gone, but you can remember him and you can emulate him."

23:37 Moscow is holding the world's population hostage by blocking the export of Ukrainian grain, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said: "The G20 cannot take its eyes off the war in Ukraine, because it directly affects the global economy.

We all know the name Zhelezny the dome, but even it does not protect 100%. Not only that, I was in Israel, I talked with their manufacturers, state-owned enterprises.The iron dome works against slow, low-altitude, easy-to-kill missiles made, in fact, in garages. The Iron Dome does not protect cruise and ballistic missiles. There is another air defense system that is being developed in Israel itself, and there is in the Czech Republic and in the United States. Therefore, we need to develop our own air defense / missile defense system or receive, including from our partners " .
The minister added that Ukraine already has sky protection: "It is not perfect, but believe me, we shoot down a fairly large number of missiles that fly. Enemy planes in our sky no longer fly, because they are afraid and know that we are shooting them down" .

Most of the new infantry units can be deployed with MT-LB armored vehicles, which the Russian Federation previously considered unsuitable for this. The MT-LB was developed in the 1950s as an artillery towing tractor, has limited armor and is only equipped with a machine gun.

The occupiers do not give up their attempts to break deep into the Donetsk region along the administrative border, they attack from several directions, and "where it is inconvenient for them to go forward, they create a real hell, shelling the territories on the horizon." Therefore, the danger comes from everywhere - from Kreminnaya to Popasnaya, Gaidai emphasized.

08:24 Pentagon spokesman voiced the main problem with the current supply of weapons to Ukraine: “Ukrainians have a lot of equipment, but the problem is that they use it at an intense combat pace. At the same time, more time is needed for training, resources for support, repairs, and logistics ".
At the same time, he stressed that the US Department of Defense is going to supply Ukraine with weapons "for the coming months and years," and the Russians hope in vain that they can hold out longer than the Ukrainians: "The main thing is that the Russians know that the Ukrainians will be able to continue the fight. If the Russians think, If they can last longer than the Ukrainians, then they need to rethink. We are already thinking about what the Ukrainians will need in the coming months and years."
08:17 The Pentagon denied the information about the destruction of two HIMARS installations in Ukraine, as recently reported by the Russian Defense Ministry. "Ukrainians still use them in combat. I know that there were some Russian reports that they destroyed the Ukrainian HIMARS system. This is not true. Ukrainians have these systems and use them," the agency representative said.

The exit from the operational pause may be gradual and not immediately noticeable ".

According to him, the Russians deliberately hit residential areas from Gradov. A school and several houses were also damaged, and a car burned down.
06:47 In the fifth month of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia is far behind its schedule for the attack on the Donbass. On the contrary, Ukrainian forces are performing well in combat, a senior Pentagon official said at a briefing. “The Russians are making very incremental, limited, and costly progress only in certain small areas of Donbas. They are way behind their timelines. They are way behind their goals,” the Pentagon website said in a statement.
The Pentagon also noted that Ukraine has launched effective localized counter-offensives: “We are increasingly seeing the ability of the Ukrainians to use HIMARS systems to significantly interfere with the ability of the Russians to advance even where they have been so difficult and slow to advance. Therefore, we do not see Russia winning at all this is a fight."
06:40 The Russian Embassy in the United States commented on the news about the new package of American aid: "Behind this decision is Washington's unbridled desire to drag out the conflict at any cost ... The thesis of high-ranking US officials that military products are used by Ukrainians for defensive purposes is untenable." The embassy added that weapons from the United States are used to "destroy the cities of Donbass."

A big unknown is the opinion of the Russiaphone population in the east of the 1991 borders of the Ukraine.
Russia and/or it's designees have been in charge of much of this since 2014 and more since late March 2022. So the population has gotten a taste of how that group governs. No Pew study is possible in war conditions so we don't know how many people in these areas would rather be governed by Ukraine.

A palpable point, Lord Garth. And just as the Russiaphones have had a chance to observe, so have the rest of the Ukrainians — who can assume less gentle treatment to encourage them to give up their ugly peasant dialect.
Well, it may come as a surprise to you that at the Wuhan lab, they’re now working on monkeypox viruses. In fact, they’re more than working on monkeypox viruses. They’re assembling new monkeypox viruses.
According to one study underway at this moment, “Since MPXV infection” (what would be monkeypox) “has never been associated with an outbreak in China, the viral genomic material required for qPCR detection is unavailable,” and therefore the lab has to engage in “viral DNA recombination’s” creating a fragment of the virus from the ground up, which they call a “fail safe.”
In other words, Frankenstein crap with monkeypox. Amazing.
NIH - Abstract Text
The funding supports a clinical trial to identify effective treatments for monkeypox virus disease. Monkeypox virus is a re-emerging pathogen that causes monkeypox virus disease, a disease of epidemic potential that causes significant morbidity and can result in death. Human monkeypox cases have been increasing in sub-Saharan Africa since 2000 and sporadic outbreaks outside of Africa have occurred, with cases in the US and the UK in 2021. The similarity between MPXV and the variola virus, coupled with concerns about the potential of the variola virus as a potential bioterrorism agent, have placed monkeypox treatments at the forefront of public health and scientific research agendas in many countries.

Not The Bee: I'm starting to think there may be a really easy way to avoid getting monkeypox
The global monkeypox toll has surpassed 8,100 cases, mostly men who have sex with men, and about as many potential cases are under investigation. Many of those patients cannot identify the source of their infections, suggesting that there is significant community transmission. ...

[RIA Novosti] Rafael Silva, a journalist for the Spanish newspaper Rebelion , analyzed the statement made after the NATO summit in Madrid and announced ten false statements found in it.
The author called NATO a brutal tool to "achieve dominance over territories, possession of natural and energy resources and new markets by force", and stated that the ten points listed in the publication are only a partial list of false claims. Sounds like an unbiased observer, right?
The first lie Silva called the statement about the defensive nature of the alliance.
"They would still say that NATO is a pacifist organization, to be sure it would be false and senseless," he added.
Inglourious bastards: Europe prefers to forget about its mercenaries today
The reporter stated that the military bloc was created to protect the interests of specific countries and has always emphasized military escalation.
The journalist called the accusations against Russia of expansionism and imperialist aspirations and the calls addressed to Moscow to stop the special operation in Ukraine as the second lie . He pointed to the unwillingness of NATO to negotiate and the continued supply of weapons to Kyiv.
"To say that Putin has expansionist aspirations is an absolute lie. Since 1949, only NATO has expanded. The organization has increasingly surrounded Russia," Silva said.
Another statement that does not correspond to reality is a statement about the unprecedented strength and cohesion of the alliance. The journalist complained about the expansion of the presence of NATO forces in Spain , although the organization calls Russia a threat - it does not have common borders with the kingdom.
He also criticized the attitude towards Moscow as the main threat. According to him, the United States needs this to maintain the outgoing world hegemony.
Fifth paragraph in the article: "China is a challenge to NATO values." Silva saw it as a provocation and hostility towards a culture that simply does not look like the West, as well as another example of using the alliance in the interests of the United States.
The next lie is NATO's readiness to defend "every inch of its territory." The author called it an aggressive and arrogant statement aimed at intimidating other countries.
“NATO countries should have promoted a policy that would guarantee that not a single centimeter of the country and in general any territory will not be attacked,” Silva wrote and urged politicians to be good negotiators, and not behave like hooligans.
The journalist called the statement about the discussion of problems with global warming by NATO the seventh lie. Silva explained that the military organization cannot be interested in climate issues, since the army, according to him, pollutes the environment the most.
Poland is confident that the Baltic will become an inland sea of NATO
"NATO will also take care of the southern flank," Silva called another deceitful claim by the alliance. The journalist explained that the alliance decided to fight terrorists in Africa and migration from the region. The reporter accused NATO of creating conditions for the flight of people from developing countries to the rich - wars, poverty, theft of resources, the overthrow of governments.
Silva also criticized the statement about the need to increase the military budget in the countries of the alliance to two percent of GDP. The journalist pointed to the need to invest in education and medicine, and not in the army.
"The countries of the North Atlantic Alliance are the antipodes of the culture of peace," he added.
The author called the statement about the danger and unpredictability of the world the tenth lie. In his opinion, this is the most cynical and scandalous statement.
"It is precisely because of the policies of organizations such as NATO that the world is becoming more dangerous," he stressed.
Silva accused Western leaders of unleashing wars and a "policy of looting" against entire states. This is what makes the world a powder keg, the journalist stressed and said that humanity needs the dissolution of NATO.

yes claiming you will resist aggression is vile provocation to would be aggressors, the poor dears. The trouble is that nobody but would be aggressors likes that idea unless they wish to become slaves themselves, which they mostly do not want to do.
Poor Putin believes probably correctly that Russians in former states of the USSR are in danger, but not from NATO or from the West. They are in danger from militant Moslem extremists in all the various 'stans' of Asia that were part of the USSR. If such haters gain power Russian Christians like Putin will be in grave danger in any one of them.
The USSR lost in its attack on Afghanistan in part because many and perhaps most of its soldiers from such parts were more loyal to their religion than to their own government.
Somehow one has to believe he is worse off in picking a fight with the West to deal with this problem than Hitler was in attacking the degenerate West when really afraid of the USSR.
Unfortunately, we shall see how this works out with pro aggressors so well distributed among soo called Demorcrats in this country, especially at the top of our government.

Not a fan of NATO in its present state but this article is cr*p

This article is Russian agit prop by the Russian agent, Badanov. They have agents all over Europe and North America preaching pro Russian, anti USA propaganda daily, Badanov is paid to do this by Putin.
It has been very successful, they came within a hair of being the government of Austria for example, same with Bulgaria.
Now the Russian attack on Ukraine has exposed all this and it's past time we free people stop letting evil, hateful murderous bastards like Badanov have access to our systems.
Maybe Badanov can detail all the brutality of the Russian Army towards their own soldiers and toward their neighbors next? It would take him a decade.

"...This article is Russian agit prop by the Russian agent, Badanov." You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
Rantburg has a long, long history of contributors providing examples of opinionated primary sources material from foreign outlets. There has been 'agitprop' from North Korea, Iran, Pakistan and even from countries that are nominally US allies. All to give a picture of what is passing for journalism in foreign countries.
[Breitbart] Former President Donald Trump called on drug dealers, human traffickers, and those who kill police to get the death penalty during a Save America rally held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Friday night.
Trump said:
So this is a little controversial. And I will either get a standing ovation – and I don’t care about the ovation, I care about the country – or people are going to walk out of the room for what I’m about to say. But it’s time finally to say it. If you look at countries all throughout the world…The only ones that don’t have a drug problem are those that institute the death penalty for drug dealers. They’re the only ones, they don’t have any problem.
Trump also added that human traffickers and those who kill police should face the death penalty.
“Those who kill police officers as well as those who kill through human trafficking,” he continued.
“So we can be streetwise tough and smart and end our problem or we can be politically correct, weak and frankly, extremely stupid,” Trump said. “Which is probably the way we will continue to be and lose millions and millions more people to a scourge the likes of which our country and most other countries have never seen before.”
“So do something about it. It’s The only way you’re going to win the only way you’re going to win all right,” the former president added.
Trump’s comments about drug dealers receiving the death penalty are aligned with reports during his presidency in 2018 that he supported the policy.
Axios’ Jonathan Swan reported that Trump secretly favored the policy in February 2018. However, just one month later, Trump came out in public support of the policy.
“If we don’t get tough on the drug dealers, we are wasting our time,” he said at the time. “That toughness includes the death penalty.”
Trump campaigned in Las Vegas on Friday night on behalf of Adam Laxalt, candidate for U.S. Senate, and Sheriff Joe Lombardo, candidate for governor. Trump is scheduled to speak in Alaska on Saturday in support of Sarah Palin’s candidate for U.S. House and Kelly Tshibaka’s run for U.S. Senate.
