[NYP] Members of the House select committee investigating last year’s riot at the US Capitol on Sunday claimed they have enough evidence for federal prosecutors to indict former President Donald Trump. I must confess, looking at that graphic brings the spirit of slap over me like a dark cloud.
California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff called for the Justice Department to "investigate any credible allegation of criminal activity, on the part of Donald Trump or anyone else."
"The rule of law needs to apply equally to everyone," Schiff said on ABC’s "This Week." Then his lips fell off.
"There are certain actions, parts of these different lines of effort to overturn the election that I don’t see evidence the Justice Department is investigating," he said I agree, Adam!
More evidence will be released when the hearings continue this week, and the committee said that Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, is among the witnesses set to testify on Monday.
"Once the evidence is accumulated by the Justice Department, it needs to make a decision about whether it can prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt the president’s guilt or anyone else’s," Schiff said Sunday. "But they need to be investigated if there’s credible evidence, which I think there is." He has all the evidence, but he can't show it to us.
The committee broadcast a dramatic montage of video clips from the riot in their primetime hearing on Thursday, which was watched by more than 20 million people. That count must include nine million dead (D) voters.
Last week, Biden said that he believed the hearing would show a "flagrant violation of the Constitution."

If they had the goods on Trump it would've been out fifteen months ago.

As any Coup d'état unravels, they typically resort to Kangaroo courts and staged investigations with the help of their controlled and run Media.
With mid-term and 2024 elections just around the corner, they know they must figure out some way of covering up / overshadowing the fact they are noting more than a Coup d'état and not a duly elected government. A group that violated the voting/civil rights of over 78 Millions US citizens.
So, it is common for Coup d'état members to falsely accuse & imprisons those that present the facts or legal challenges their illegal authority.
May those replacing them follow US Law and their Oaths of office, while investigating those that attempted to subvert US Law and the US Constitution.

Of course the rules in an actual court are a little different. Right to a Defense. Right to Witnesses. Cross examination. Perjury. A cross examination of Adam "the Liar" Schiff or Liz might be entertaining.
But then that's not the point. An indictment might prevent Trump from running in '24 - I'm suspect they have a federal Judge all lined up to rule on it.
OF course they may then end up with a Trump endorsed and supported DeSantis.

GOPe will not punish anyone for these abuses on the grounds that they don't want to open the door to being treated the same way.
Oh, wait...

That 20 mil number of viewers is about equal to all the evening network news watchers together (ABC, NBC, CBS — but not Fox), plus a few strays.

Democrat leadership would go to prison for voter fraud if they don't come after Trump "or anyone else" who would expose the big sham if anyone outside The Swamp were elected again.

I don't know why I'd have any more belief in those "viewership" numbers than I do in COVID statistics or National Park Service "estimates" of crowd sizes.
Which is to say, "not much."

A group that violated the voting/civil rights of over 78 Millions US citizens.
Which means out of 300 million + American people, 220 million don't care about this corruption at all. And the corrupt politicians know that.

The DC court that acquitted Michael Sussmann is just the venue that Schifferbrains needs for this little scheme of his. He's playing a very dangerous game, though, because in 2024 the tables might very well be turned.

Little more than a media and democratic cover for a wrecked economy and failed administration.
[Washington Examiner] Throughout my life, I have watched the world become more American. On every continent, people learn English, watch U.S. films, wear blue jeans, and aspire to live in pluralist, capitalist, and individualist societies. The dissemination of American values was one of the happiest facts of the 20th century. But I fear that the 21st century has brought an altogether darker cultural export.
The core American value used to be freedom. Freedom of speech meant no one could drag you to jail for saying the wrong thing. Freedom of assembly meant no one could close down a political party, labor union, or church congregation for sedition. People chose their jobs, their homes, their spouses. America was "conceived in liberty," and when countries escaped fascism in 1944, or communism in 1989, they aspired to be more like America.
That was then. Starting in the late 20th century and accelerating terrifyingly around 2015, the United States has switched from elevating individual rights to elevating group rights. It has, in other words, returned to the tribal thinking that its creation was intended to defy. The precepts that drove the campaign for civil rights — race doesn’t define you, everyone is equal before the law, character trumps skin color — are now deemed reactionary and offensive. Ethnic differences (and, to a lesser degree, differences of sex, sexuality, and so forth) are deemed supremely important. They define your place in an imagined hierarchy of privilege and determine what you can say, what college scores you need, and what positions you can occupy.
We can argue about the origins of this tendency. Did it come from the notions of guilt and justification that animated the earliest settlers? ("I think I can see the whole destiny of America contained in the first Puritan who landed on those shores," wrote Alexis de Tocqueville.) Did it arrive later, brought by socialist German academics? Or was it an overcorrection, a reaction to the ugliness of slavery and segregation?
Whatever its genesis, the American virus has leaked out and become a global pandemic. Across the West, especially in other white-majority, English-speaking countries, social questions are now seen through the distorting prism of America’s civil rights struggles.
In Britain, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. are (along with Nelson Mandela) among the most familiar historical figures, with hundreds of classrooms and junior schools named after them. Almost any British child can identify them, whereas perhaps one in a hundred could tell you anything about, say, John Locke.
Our vocabulary has become Americanized. People talk of "all-white juries" as though there are alternatives in chunks of rural Britain. Race relations are presented in Black Lives Matter's terms, although black people in Britain are just 3.3% of the population, less than half as numerous as, say, South Asians.
Even if we accepted the fundamentally illiberal premise of a universal black experience or a universal white experience, there is no real comparison between the American South and the rest of the Anglosphere.
[TickerNewsNG] Gunmen suspected to be bandits attacked St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo, headquarters of Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, killing over 50 members of the congregation.
It was gathered that the gunmen invaded the church during mass on Sunday morning, June 5, and opened fire on the congregants.
According to Nigerian Tribune, no fewer than 50 corpses have been moved out of the church with many casualties lying at the Federal Medical Center, Owo, for medical attention.
A source explained that the congregation were caught unaware, adding that the death toll might rise as some worshippers who were taken to the hospital have reportedly died.
He added that the gunmen also used some explosives within the compound of the church but said most of the people were hit with gunshots.
The perpetrators were said to have fled the scene immediately they carried out the killing, leaving many people dead.
Graphic photos and videos posted online show some dead bodies soaked with blood in the church.
A nurse at Owo who spoke on condition of anonymity said there wasn’t enough medical personnel on ground to attend to the casualties at the emergency unit of the hospital, while some of the casualties had been taken to a private hospital.

Ebbaling Thish5347, Ticker News Nigeria looks like a good news source for events in that country, and it would be lovely if you continue providing us War on Terror articles from there. I note that this particular article is dated June 5, 2022, and so repeats information we already had. However, the site has several subsequent articles on the story thqt we have not seen elsewhere, including most recently (June 10th)
[Recent road trip discovery] Rural Super-8 Hotel provides deep discounts on lodging...to some.
The Super-8 Hotel at I-64 and Illinois Route-1 vacancy problem has been solved. Owner Arpip Travidi (or somebody, perhaps the US Taxpayer) provides deeply discounted fares to English Language Challenged (ELC) long-term guests.
According to a local source, the ELC personnel, who appeared to be numerous and well fed, are employed at the nearby (historically low paying) PetroClear Oil Filter manufacturing facility. A sharp increase in SNAP food supplement use has also been reported.
Appears to be something of a paradox however. as PetroClear produces a wide range of filter products which support the evil carbon producing, fossil fuel and combustion engine industry. Perhaps someone here, could explain.
ELC personnel appeared to keep to themselves in small groups and were frequently viewed communicating via iFone in a native tongue or prayer language.
Super-8 owner Arpip Travidi (dot not feather) was unavailable for comment.
[CBSNews] The government of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has authorized Russian troops, planes and ships to deploy to Nicaragua for purposes of training, law enforcement or emergency response.
In a decree published this week, and confirmed by Russia on Thursday, Ortega will allow Russian troops to carry out law enforcement duties, "humanitarian aid, rescue and search missions in emergencies or natural disasters."
The Nicaraguan government also authorized the presence of small contingents of Russian troops for "exchange of experiences and training."
Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, told the Russian news outlet Sputnik that the measure was "routine."
"We are talking about a routine — twice a year — procedure for the adoption of a Nicaraguan law on the temporary admission of foreign military personnel to its territory in order to develop cooperation in various areas, including humanitarian and emergency responses, combatting organized crime and drug trafficking," Zakharova said.
Well, if it’s routine...
She noted the law also authorizes troops from the United States, Mexico and other Central American countries for such purposes.
Ortega has been a staunch ally of Russia since his days in the leadership of the 1979 revolution that ousted dictator Anastasio Somoza. Ortega served as president from 1985 to 1990, before being re-elected to power in 2007.
Ortega's government arrested dozens of political opposition leaders, including most of the potential presidential candidates, in the months before his re-election to a fourth consecutive term last year. His government has shut down dozens of nongovernmental groups that he accuses of working on behalf of foreign interests to destabilize his government. Tens of thousands of Nicaraguans have been chased into exile.

If they have the bodies to spare, go for it. We lived with Russians in Cuba for decades. It's interesting considering the Venezuelans rulers find the Cubans cheaper. It's their money, their time.
[Townhall] We refuse to care about stupid Democrat obsessions.
We don't care about climate change. It's a hoax designed to fill the hole in lib souls that used to be filled with faith, and for the ruling caste, it's a tool to steal our money and freedom.
We don't care about some alleged moral necessity to disarm normal Americans. When they whine, "The purpose of guns is to hurt people," we nod. Yes, they are. Our guns never have and never will hurt anyone who is not a criminal or an aspiring tyrant. But when those categories of bad people get uppity, yeah, we reserve our right to hurt them within the bounds of proper laws and morality.
We don't care about claims that America was stolen from other people. Like every other patch of inhabitable dirt on the planet, America was conquered from people who conquered it from someone else first. When we make a "land acknowledgment," it goes as follows: "Yeah, we took it, and now it's ours."
We don't care about their froth-mouthed accusation that America is some sort of racist cauldron of hatred. Many of us served in real racist cauldrons of hatred and have no time for the silly posturing of frivolous ninnies pretending to be white saviors by nattering on about non-existent "white supremacy" – which is a remarkably colorblind concept since anyone who rejects the ideology of the faculty lounge can practice it regardless of race or ethnicity, including people who are black and Latinx – hey, it's our word now, commies, and we're never letting you live it down.

The LSD's No Gun agenda except what is used to protect their Elite A$$'s.
How about a Simplified Punishment Law?
Anyone harming another must serve 5 to 20 years w/o parole depending on the level of harm. If a firearm is used in a Class A or B felony level crime, then LIFE without parole and Death if the victim dies.
Of course, we'll suddenly start hearing the law discriminates against those groups committing the most crime.

[Babylon Bee] CHARLOTTE, NC—Colin Kaepernick has made his way back into the NFL as a cheerleader for the Carolina Panthers. He will be the team's first African American Transgender Poly-Bi Cheerleader and will be joining the team on road games.
"I'm excited to be on the team!" said Kaepernick, weakened by a series of surgeries and hormone injections. "After I insulted the organization and called all the fans racist, I wasn't sure I'd be welcomed back, but I was finally able to contort my body into such a victimized form that they had no choice but to hire me."
"It's a dream come true!"
Panthers coach Matt Rhule was not part of the decision-making process that brought Kaepernick into the cheerleading fold, but he is reportedly enthusiastic about the former quarterback's role on the squad.
"I think he'll be a great distraction when we lose games," he said, sighing wistfully. "And believe me, we're going to lose some games."
ESPN commentator Jaina Winterwoman asked Kaepernick about the audition process. The interview, which will appear on a future episode of NFL Primetime, revealed that Kaepernick doesn't know how to dance.
"Girl, with an identity like this you don't have to do a thing," Kaepernick told the sports journalist. "I don't think anyone's going to be watching me for my dance moves."
The 2022 NFL season is scheduled to begin on September 8th. Ratings for Panthers games are expected to spike early on and then plummet, destroying the franchise.
[Dawn] The criminal mastermind of some suicide kabooms and kabooms has been arrested, the Counter-Terrorism Department said on Sunday.
The suspect is also allegedly involved in other terrorist activities in different areas of Quetta.
The suspect, who belongs to a banned outfit
...which one? There are lots of those in that corner of the world...
and is identified as Nazimuddin alias Khalid, was arrested when he carried an explosive-laden cycle of violence to conduct a terrorist attack in Quetta.
"The accused and his group were involved in 10 terrorist attacks, including suicide kaboom at the vehicle of the deputy inspector general police telecommunication Hamid Shakeel in Chaman Housing Scheme," the front man for the CTD said.
He said the CTD received a tip-off about the plan of a banned outfit
...always an interesting concept in Pakistan...
that they were going to park an explosive-laden cycle of violence to attack their target.
Acting on the information, a team was formed to trace out the terrorists, which intercepted a motorcyclist in an area on the outskirts of the city. During the search operation, an improvised bomb (IED)was found planted in the cycle of violence. The suspect was taken into custody and recovered a 9mm pistol from his possession.
The CTD identified the accused as Nazimuddin alias Khalid.
According to the suspect, he and eight other members of the gang carried out the suicide attack on DIG Hamid Shakeel on Nov 11, 2017, suicide attack on RRG truck at GPO Chowk on Jan 19, 2018, FC vehicle near Dufferin Hospital on Mecongi Road on Jan 7, 2020.
Other attacks carried out by the group included a suicide attack in the parking lot of Serena Hotel on April 21, 2021, a cycle of violence IED attack on an army truck near BA Mall on July 1, 2021, an IED attack outside Serena Hotel on Aug 8, 2021, another cycle of violence IED attack on a truck on Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... University Chowk on Oct 18, 2021, a cycle of violence IED attack outside Kandahari Bazaar Bukhari Centre on Dec 18, 2021, and an attack on Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...the political wing of the Pak Taliban... ideologue outside Science College main gate on Dec 30, 2021.
The front man further said that the accused during the interrogation disclosed that he and his gang were also planning attacks on the high court, a sessions court, FC and police.
A significant progress has been made in terrorism cases since the arrest of the accused and would help the CTD in preventing kabooms, murders and other terrorists’ attacks in Quetta, it said.
"Raids are being carried out in different areas for the arrest of other accomplices of the suspect," the front man for the CTD said.
[France24] Thirteen-year-old Anne Frank began keeping her now-famous diary on June 12, 1942. She would spend a little more than two years confiding in its pages, sharing stories from daily life, observations, and hopes for the future from the cramped annex in Amsterdam she occupied with her family and several other Jews in hiding. The last entry in her diary is dated August 1, 1944, after which she was arrested and deported.
"I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support." Anne Frank's diary begins with these now-famous words. Her book, published by her father in 1947, has become a landmark of world literature in its singular account of innocence in the face of barbarism.
Born in Frankfurt in 1929, Anne Frank emigrated with her family to the Netherlands in 1933, when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of a crisis-ridden Germany. In 1942, as the authorities tracked down Jews in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, the Frank family moved into the 'annex', a flat hidden behind a false bookcase, to escape the Gestapo.
In August 1944, the family was betrayed by an unknown individual, and the inhabitants of the annex were deported to Auschwitz. Afterwards, Anne and her sister were transferred to Bergen-Belsen. Anne died of typhus in February or March 1945, shortly after the death of her older sister Margot.
Only 38,000 of the 140,000 Jews living in the Netherlands survived the Nazi occupation, one of the highest Holocaust death tolls in Europe. Dutch professor Johannes Houwink ten Cate, from the Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies (NIOD) in Amsterdam, reflects on the significance of this literary work.
[Red State] Joe Biden’s memory appeared to fail him again on Sunday as he gave remarks at the Summit of the Americas. The meeting, being held in California, was attended by a group of Western Hemisphere nations, with corruption and migration, eventually becoming illegal immigration into the United States, taking center stage.
In an attempt to pass the buck, Biden forgot the president he used to work for again, a "mistake" he’s made numerous times going back to the 2020 presidential campaign.
[Red State] Harvard’s Alan Dershowitz and George Washington University’s Jonathan Turley, both famous law professors and self-proclaimed liberals, slammed the Thursday night January 6 Committee 6 hearing for being "unethical" and for failing to prove the charges.
Referring to the video of Trump’s speech that the committee aired, Dershowitz told Newsmax’s "Spicer & Co." Friday: "They doctored the tape!" for leaving out a key line.
The lawyers were both liberal darlings for years, DC cocktail circuit fixtures who could be relied on to appear on CNN and give an air of authority while commenting on the day’s topics.
But that all that changed with the arrival of Trump. Dershowitz notably started appearing on conservative media, suddenly popping up on Fox News instead of MSNBC, eventually even testifying at Trump’s second impeachment trial in defense of Trump.
Turley also testified on Trump’s side for that impeachment effort, and more recently has been vocal about his disdain for the current hearings.
It’s quite the turnaround for this pair. Poor Dershowitz has been shunned by his "tolerant" Martha’s Vineyard "friends" for daring to question liberal orthodoxy. Turley, meanwhile, was inundated with threats for daring to defend Trump.
They’ve been among the few voices of sanity among liberals since the arrival of Trump, and a source of hope among conservatives that not everyone has lost their minds.
[PJ] The answer to stopping gun crimes is simple: federalize all gun offenses. Local police would handle the arrests, and the feds would prosecute the cases (which would remove the Soros-funded, social justice warrior District Attorneys from the game).
If a person is convicted of using a gun for a crime, he or she would get a mandatory sentence of, say, five years.
If someone is caught with an illegally obtained gun, he or she would go to jail too. As prosecutors send gun-toting criminals to the hoosegow, crime would drop. Easy peasy.
But the left won’t allow that because that would mean lads like Camrin Williams would go to jail.
[ZERO] Starting in April, dangerous rhetoric related to regional nuclear aspirations began coming out of Poland - apparently directed as a 'threat' to Russia amid the invasion of Ukraine. Early that month, for example, ruling Polish party leader, Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski suggested that a "tougher" anti-Russian defense posture would include Poland being "open" to having nuclear weapons stationed in the country.
But this weekend has seen the rhetoric heighten even further, eliciting a fierce response from Moscow, when Poland's European Parliament Deputy and former Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski suggested that the West give nukes to Kiev. "The West has the right to give Ukraine nuclear warheads so that it can protect its independence," Sikorski said according to regional sources.

Mr. Radoslaw is experiencing a severe stupidity moment here.
Hopefully it will pass.

The lies and hysteria are catching up with Ukraine's propagandists. The Ukrainians have lost the war. Their most valuable and economically productive territory, the Donbas, is lost.
It was always a matter to be settled at the negotiating table, but last March, Biden, Nuland, Sullivan and the other leftovers from 2014 told Zelensky that he need not negotiate. He walked away from Minsk and declared he would seize Crimea.
Reality has finally set in. Not even NATO's Jens Stoltenberg is pretending any longer that Russia has not won the war and that no terroritorial concessions are necessary. Stoltenberg: "The [only] question is how much territory, how much independence...are [the Ukrainians] willing to sacrifice for peace."
#6
The British tabloids' propaganda is laughable. Even the New York Times and Washington Post have abandoned their "counter-attack" myth. The only option now is negotiation. The only question is how much territory will belong to Russia.
#7
Biden and the Democrats in the US have abandoned Zelensky. NATO's chief is urging negotiations. It's over.
Ukraine stories aren't even above the fold anymore. The American public doesn't give a shit about Zelensky or Ukrainians. It's a losing issue for the Democrats
#9
So, Jean Paul, at a guess how many Ukrainians will have to be sent to filtration camps for their own good? 2 million? Or is this going to be more like a Katyn Forest kind of thing?

@Matt: I understand your frustration, but it has no bearing on the facts of the situation. There is no alternative to a negotiated settlement that involves significant losses of territory, at a minimum Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk.
Your anger should be directed at Zelensky and the Ukrainians' handlers in Washington.
I know it acts as a kind of therapy for you but really, there's no point in bashing the Russians: you're only increasing the pain and devastation suffered by the Ukrainians. The longer the war goes on, the more Ukrainians will be slaughtered and the more territory will be lost.
#11
It was never about the best interests of the Ukrainians. This was a Washington neo-con obsession with another chance for a Forever War.
Then it morphed into a Democrat (Pelosi-Schiff etc) and Deep State get-Trump effort stoked by Ukrainian agents and arms dealers in DC: Chalupa, Igor Pasternak, Vindman etc

Several million nationals forcibly stolen to work in Russian factories and add their offspring to Russia’s falling population count is not merely an anodyne loss of territory, Jean-Paul. Please answer the hotshot lawyer’s question instead telling him not to worry his pretty head about it.
And given the destruction in the economically productive Donbas, one has to ask how much Russia will have to invest to make it productive again. Or does Russia really just care about removing competitors to their own factories, just as they only care about stealing the grain produced in Ukraine, and Ukraine’s subsequent ability to grow more, increasing the prices Russia can charge for its own harvest?
Is this a joke? What kind of lawyer would advise his client to continue getting his people slaughtered and losing territory? How much more territory do you want them to lose? How many poor press-ganged "reservists" have to mutiny, and how many thousands need to be slaughtered, before this "lawyer" admits reality?
Zelensky's government could have retained 93% of what they claimed as Ukraine and almost all of its productive assets and territory, without sacrificing tens of thousands of their people.
All they had to do was make a serious, good-faith effort to honor Minsk -- to rein in their neo-Nazi terrorists, restore water to Crimea and to leave alone the Russians' base on that historically Russian and extremely pro-Russian peninsula.
Instead, the neo-conservatives and the Democrats in Washington urged him to rip up Minsk, and provoke the Russians.
If this represents the counsel of a "hotshot lawyer," then that's a rather strange definition of "hotshot." Perhaps a hotshot such as Michael Avenatti

It's not about Ukraine. It's never been about Ukraine.
Instead, the neo-conservatives and the Democrats in Washington urged him to rip up Minsk, and provoke the Russians.
Now you got it! This was McStain and Miss Lindsey and the Nudelman cunt's latest neo-con crusade. Then Pelosi and Schiff and the Demorats saw a way to use Ukraine to try to link Orange Adolf with Russian Adolf.
And then Lloyd Raytheon and Lockheed and the other Beltway Bandits saw a chance to take in millions. And awayyyy they went.

First the question, chér Jean-Paul, then the counsel. How many Ukrainian civilians has Russia taken?
After all, all Russia had to do was not invade a neighbour and destroy the landscape, but they couldn’t even do that. Following the inevitable win, what will Russia have? Sanctions targetting Russia’s ability to buy the things needed to repair and rebuild, despite all the money piled up from sales of petroleum and other raw materials with which to pay for it all; accrued goodwill from Russia’s work in Syria and against the Russian portion of the worldwide jihadi network destroyed in a few short months; long term oil and gas customers turning to more trustworthy suppliers, while the replacement customers will need expensive investment in pipelines and equipment to feed the new markets; new distrust from near neighbours and those farther away that is resulting in all of them arming up instead of lying complacently under the American security umbrella — and none of them are buying weapons from Russia — which will make the planned next steps of reconquest harder. And worst of all, the world’s firm belief in the irresistible Russian army shattered beyond repair, making everything more difficult for Russia going forward, domestically as well as internationally.
Ukraine is being punished for its choices. But Russia is working hard for a Pyrrhic victory that she can ill afford.
You keep saying that and yet the fighting continues.

I thought they lost it in February when Putin executed a coup de main removing the existing regime and putting in place his own puppets. Oh, wait. Then it was the blitzkrieg in March to encircle and capture Kiev and do the same. Oh, wait. Then it was April or was it May, that the Ukrainians lost.
There is no end to this war. It's now generational. There will be lulls with paper signings and rearming, but its only time till it gets going again. This is now a blood match that Europe has always been host to in history.

General Lord Richards, former Head of the British Army, warned against the stupidities of the Iraq fiasco and again about the Syria debacle. He warned today in The Telegraph about the stupidity of the US and UK's Russia strategy, or lack thereof.
"Good strategy is about hard choices. As Chief of Defence Staff, my outstanding team devised a coherent Syria strategy which independent experts agreed had a good chance of leading to a successful strategic outcome.
Once again [as with the Iran and Afghanistan dusasters], political leaders were not prepared to align ends, ways and means with Washington going as far as to say that “the General’s plan is more than the market can bear”.
What “market”? Consequently, my advice was to let Assad win and quickly and to stop encouraging and supplying opposition groups with insufficient support to ensure their success. The price in deaths, ruined lives and destroyed cities would be too huge and a massive strategic setback for the West. Russia was already sensing an opportunity and so it proved.
A similar lack of a coherent strategy is now apparent in Ukraine.
There is, at best, what might be termed incremental strategy with again no early and decisive synchronisation of ends, ways and means. It is a “let’s see how it goes” “strategy”, in other words not really strategy at all. There is still little idea in London, Washington or elsewhere how “we” want the war to pan out, or what sort of Russia we are seeking to shape, especially on the vital long-term issue of relations with China.
Is there an opportunity, using carrots and sticks, to persuade a weakened Russia to align with the West rather than having it pushed ineluctably into China’s orbit? No one is thinking grand strategically because no one is brave enough to think beyond the political convention of the moment.
You keep saying that and yet the fighting continues.
Because the Ukrainian leadership are too stupid to admit they've lost and too mad to halt the slaughter. As has been pointed out, Jens Stoltenberg is urging them to negotiate. So are Lord Richards and other western military leaders.
Even Biden says the only point of further Ukrainian resistance is to "strengthen their hand at the negotiating table." Precisely the opposite is happening. Their hand is getting weaker by the day. Madness
1- Has Russia won the war? I just skimmed the TASS website and don't see anything about that. You would think a banner headline would be in order.
2- What will happen to the Ukrainians who surrender or who are in territory that Ukraine gives up to buy peace? If the outcome is Katyn Forest or exile to Norilsk, why should Ukraine, or at least those Ukrainians, give up? It's a question relevant to the negotiation process.
#24
Whatever the West might aim, it looks like Ukraine’s is to become Russia’s Gates of Vienna.
A dumb reference beloved of deranged Jewish neo-conservative loonies during the fevered runup to the botched Iraq War. This absurd view of Russia as another one of the neo-cons' bêtes noires is the source of this disaster and the reason it continues beyond all reason,
#27
Confucius say, "Kindly refrain
From shaking her potentate's chain,
For the Bear's clumsy dance--
Er, great Russian romance
Could reduce her to China's Ukraine!"
#28
"Gates of Vienna" refers to a false historical analogy that's been favored by neo-con trolls ever since 9/11. It was silly when it was applied to the Mideast Muslim terrorist challenge; it's totally ludicrous in this context.
Ukraine is not our ally and is not a part of the West. It's just a miserable kleptocracy on an African scale, one that only exists because of the stupidity and criminal incompetence of first Lenin, then Khrushchev

It's not over until the fat lady sings. Face it, the Russian military performance has been pathetic and Ukrainians have fought them to a standstill.
I'll say one thing for you: The idea that Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union to its former glory has been thoroughly debunked. I mean, how's he gonna do that when he's bogged down in Donbass?
It's Putin who needs to seal this deal before Biden and his handlers do something we'll all regret.

What we've learned in the last few days from our visitors:
1- The Ukrainian leaders are stupid.
2- The Ukrainian army is down to about 40,000 old men and boys spread over a 1000 km front.
3- Those old men and boys are out of ammunition.
Against those odds let's see if the flower of the Russian army can advance two kilometers tomorrow.

Those who trusted the Democrats to follow their usual pattern, only more so, have been preparing since Mr. Biden was sworn in to office. No point in wasting energy worrying about the inevitable.
I can highly recommend Check Your Connections: How to Thrive in an Uncertain World by Robin Burk as a guide to thinking about the situation — I found it comforting to realize how many things I could already check off, or were already partway there.

Talk about ungrateful little shits:
Zelensky's adviser, Mykhailo Podolyak, accused Western leaders of being reluctant to seriously address Ukraine’s gigantic disadvantage in long-range weaponry ...[while Ukraine's army] is being battered in fighting in the East.
And he suggested that some Western European countries, including France and Germany, were “hiding from the war.’’
“If you think we should lose, just tell us directly: ‘We want you to lose.’ Then we will understand why you give us weapons at this level,” Mr. Podolyak said in an interview in the presidential office compound in Kyiv.

[IsraelTimes] John Allen says he’s leaving Brookings Institution with a ’heavy heart’ as FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... investigates whether he illegally lobbied for the Gulf state
The president of the Brookings Institution resigned Sunday amid a federal investigation into whether he illegally lobbied on behalf of the wealthy Persian Gulf nation of Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... Retired Gen. John Allen wrote in a letter to the think tank that he was leaving with a "heavy heart" but did not offer a direct explanation.
"I know it is best for all concerned in this moment," Allen’s letter said.
A retired four-star Marine general who led US and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... forces in Afghanistan, Allen’s announcement came less than a week after the News Agency that Dare Not be Named was first to report on new court filings that showed the FBI had seized Allen’s electronic data as part of the lobbying probe.
Allen has not been charged with any crimes and, through a front man, has denied any wrongdoing.
The new court filings detail Allen’s behind-the scenes efforts to help Qatar influence US policy in June 2017 when a diplomatic crisis erupted between the gas-rich Persian Gulf monarchy and its neighbors.
An FBI agent said in an affidavit in support of a search warrant there was "substantial evidence" that Allen had knowingly broken a foreign lobbying law, and had made false statements and withheld "incriminating" documents.
Allen’s alleged lobbying work involved traveling to Qatar and meeting with the country’s brass hats to offer them advice on how to influence US policy, as well as promoting Qatar’s point of view to top White House officials and members of Congress, the FBI’s affidavit says.

The General should have known better. This was Hunter's sales district and Business Development sector.
[IsraelTimes] Nehru Tawfiq, 60, an Islamist with an bad boy background, convicted of murdering 56-year-old Arsanious Wadid in sectarian attack.
...in our archives spelt Arsanios Wadid.
An Egyptian court Saturday sentenced a man to die for the April stabbing death of a Coptic Christian priest in an attack that shocked the Arab world’s most populous nation.
Nehru Tawfiq, 60, was convicted in Alexandria criminal court of murder for killing 56-year-old priest Arsanious Wadid and of illegal possession of a knife. His lawyers had argued that the killing was not deliberate. Tawfiq can appeal the verdict.
Wadid was killed at a popular seaside promenade in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria in April.
Investigators found that Tawfiq was an Islamist with an bad boy background. During last month’s court session he appeared in court in a caged-off section of the room shouting "God is great" in Arabic.
He attempted to recite verses from the Koran, the Moslem holy book, before judges ordered him to keep silent.
The attack marked the latest sectarian violence in Egypt. Islamic snuffies have repeatedly targeted Christians in recent years, especially after the 2013 military ouster of late Islamist president Mohammed Morsi, an elected but divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... leader, amid mass protests against his rule.
In September 2017, an alleged supporter of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group stabbed to death an 82-year-old Christian doctor in Cairo. He was sentenced to death the following year.
Egyptian Copts — the Middle East’s largest Christian community — account for about 10% of the country’s 103 million people and repeatedly complain of discrimination at the hands of the Moslem majority.
[IsraelTimes] Jerusalem reportedly tipped off Ottoman Turkish authorities, who foiled the attack at the last moment; officials reportedly weigh upgrading travel warning to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
Israeli and Ottoman Turkish security agencies last month uncovered an Iranian plot to kidnap Israeli tourists in Turkey and foiled it in the nick of time, according to Hebrew media reports Sunday.
Israeli security officials tipped off their Ottoman Turkish counterparts about the plan and asked that they take action to thwart the attack, according to the reports.
The reports, citing unnamed senior Israeli sources, did not specify what nationality the alleged Iranian agents were, how many were involved, or if any arrests were made.
After preventing the kidnapping, Israel asked Turkey to act against the Iranian network that planned it, the Kan public broadcaster reported.
Israeli diplomatic missions have been on alert, expecting Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... to seek Dire Revenge for the liquidation last month of a senior officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... Kan reported that the attempted kidnapping happened before the officer’s killing.
The National Security Council in recent days has considered issuing a top-level travel warning, explicitly telling Israelis not to travel to Turkey at all in the coming period. It has already advised against making non-essential trips to the country.
Israeli security officials believe there are still Iranian terror units operating in Turkey aiming to carry out kidnappings or shooting attacks, the Ynet news site reported, and intelligence services are working to counter those threats.
A source familiar with the developments told the outlet: "In light of the existing intelligence, it would be best for Israelis to not fly there during this period. It is worth considering canceling vacations in Turkey at this time."
A senior Israeli official was quoted by Ynet as saying there has been an uptick in Iranian attempts to carry out attacks.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said the missile strike before dawn on Friday hit the only runway still in service at the airport, as well as several adjacent buildings. Israeli bombing last year had disabled another runway, it said.
"The runway, the control tower, three hangars, warehouses as well as reception rooms were badly damaged by the Israeli strikes," the Observatory said.
Some of the reception rooms were used to receive Iranian officials and Hezbollah members while the warehouses stored weapons from Iran, it said.
The Britannia-based Observatory, which relies on a network of sources within Syria, said the strikes maimed an undetermined number of people.
Satellite images posted on Twitter by the Israeli firm ISI showed three separate areas of what it said was "extensive damage to both military and civilian runways" caused by the strikes.
[Western Journal] The Giles County, Tennessee, Sheriff’s Department cautioned residents on Thursday against picking up folded dollar bills on the ground.
Sheriff Kyle Helton said people stumbled across folded dollar bills at a local gas station on two occasions. When those individuals picked up the bills, they found a white powdery substance between the folds.
When authorities tested the powder to determine its chemical composition, they found it contained methamphetamine and fentanyl.
"This is a very dangerous issue!" Helton warned residents in a notice shared on his office’s Facebook page, adding that it is "a great concern to public safety."

Probably not an intentional act. Still, fentanyl is so cheap. And now the media (with the help of the police chief, who may mean well or be grandstanding) has given people ideas.

[Rudaw] At least four Ottoman Turkish soldiers were killed during intense fighting in the mountains of Duhok province, the Ottoman Turkish Ministry of Defense announced early Sunday morning, raising the corpse count among Ottoman Turkish soldiers to over 26 since April 18 when Ankara launched its new offensive deep inside Iraqi territory.
The soldiers were killed in the Zap Mountain, east of Duhok city, where intense fighting has been ongoing between the guerrillas of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and Ottoman Turkish soldiers who have set up dozens of outposts inside Iraqi territory.
The Ottoman Turkish Defense Ministry did not provide any details of how the soldiers were killed except for stating that they were killed on June 11. They were identified as Fuat Ozer, Gokhan Demir, Omer Yildirim, and Mehmet Ali CAP.
Media outlets affiliated with the PKK said that the fighting took place on top of Black Mountain in Shif Valley, resulting in three Ottoman Turkish soldiers being killed and one maimed, adding that "intense fighting was ongoing."
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... launched its latest operation dubbed Operation Claw-Clock on April 18 to eradicate the PKK threat, with President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... warning "soon there will not be a place called Qandil."
The rugged mountain range which stretches across the Iran-Iraq border in north of Sulaimani province has been the headquarters of the PKK since the early 1980s when the group established bases there. In total, more than 40,000 civilians, guerrilla fighters and Ottoman Turkish soldiers have been killed since 1984 when the PKK launched its first operation against the Ottoman Turkish army, the second largest within the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... ). Since July 2015, when a two and a half year ceasefire broke down, at least 5,850 individuals have been killed in the conflict according to International Crisis Group.
Ankara has used its air power including its deadly drone fleet in recent years at devastating level, killing some of the most senior figures within the PKK. But, dozens of Iraqi-Kurdish civilians have also been killed or maimed in Ottoman TurkishArclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s in recent years.
Ankara launched Operation Claw against the PKK in Khakurk in May 2019. This was followed by Operation Claw-Tiger in June 2020. The third edition of the offensive was a ground and air cross-border operation, dubbed Operation Claw-Lightning and Operation Claw-Thunderbolt, launched in April 2021. All of these operations focused on the PKK’s positions in the Kurdistan Region’s Duhok province.
President Erdogan has threatened to launch yet another operation in northern Syria against the Kurdish forces whom he accuses of being linked to the PKK. Erdogan has gone as far as threatening to block the requests by Sweden and Finland to become members of NATO following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, accusing the Nordic countries of harboring PKK members and sympathizers.
Hundreds of people protested in a number of European countries including Finland, Denmark, and Germany against the Ottoman Turkish operations in the Kurdistan Region and the threat of yet another operation in north Syria.

This is comical. The Ukrainians who've not been slaughtered are retreating. Aside from a few dead-enders holed up in the fertilizer factory, they've abandoned Severodonetsk for Lysychansk.
Even the head of NATO himself, Jens Stoltenberg, is calling for a cease-fire and a surrender of territory.
Russia’s advances in the vicinity of Vrubivka, Orikhove and Zolote near Popasna in Luhansk Oblast were also unsuccessful, according to the General Staff.

[NYPOST] A bipartisan group of senators announced Sunday that they had reached agreement for a framework of gun safety measures that would include red flag laws, background checks and funds to secure schools — but wouldn’t raise the age to buy certain rifles to 21.
Will it be bold enough to satisfy the radical wing of the House Democrats, while being mild enough to calm Senator Manchin?
"Today, we are announcing a commonsense, bipartisan proposal to protect America’s children, keep our schools safe, and reduce the threat of violence across our country. Families are scared, and it is our duty to come together and get something done that will help restore their sense of safety and security in their communities," the group of 20 senators said in a statement.
The negotiations were led by Democratic Sens. Chris Murphy (D., Qom) ...Junior senator for life from Connecticutt, foreign policy mastermind, a fast friend and a sympathetic ear to mullahs, ayatollahs, and similar riff-raff. The indigestable boilerplate on his website sez he has has dedicated his career to public service as an advocate for Connecticut families, which means approximately nothing. He's been a strong voice in the Senate fighting for job creation, affordable health care, education, sensible gun laws, and a forward-looking foreign policy. You can guess what that mess actually means, though the voters of Connecticutt seemingly can't... of Connecticut and Kyrsten Sinema ...Dem senatrix from Arizona. She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBTQ rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus. She won the 2018 Senate election to replace the retiring Jeff Flake, defeating Republican nominee Martha McSally. Sinema is the first openly bisexual (meaning she's not particular) and the second openly LGBT woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Senate in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She also was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arizona.... of Arizona, and Republicans John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, in response to the outrage over the horrific mass shootings last month in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas, that claimed the lives of 31 people.
The White House praised the agreement and thanked the senators for "their tireless work to produce this proposal."
"Obviously, it does not do everything that I think is needed, but it reflects important steps in the right direction, and would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass Congress in decades," President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter, close friend of an imaginary negro named Corn Pop. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan....... said in a statement.

What if they simply made the restrictions the same as what is required to join the Military, where they would be trained to use many firearms?
OH! that's right, US Minimum Age is: 17 years old (with parental consent).
So why is it ok with DC Liberals, for teens working for the US Government to carry firearms as young as 17, but Private Citizens have to wait 3 to 4 years longer for a pistol purchase?
Isn't this a double standard and violation of the 2nd Amendment?

Unidentified gunmen shot dead on Sunday a commander of the Internal Security Forces (Asayish) in the village of al-Takihi, east of Deir ez-Zor, east of Syria.
“Unidentified gunmen riding motorcycles shot dead the leader, Ibrahim al-Tarman, near the main road in the village of al-Takihi in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor,” a military source in the Asayish told North Press.
“The four gunmen were shouting slogans that ISIS members usually say when carrying out their operations, before fleeing towards the desert of the town,” the source added, quoting eyewitnesses.
Al-Tarman was in charge of the checkpoints of the Asayish in the central region in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, according to the source.
Recently, the countryside of Deir ez-Zor has been witnessing a spike in killings which target members of the SDF, employees of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), tribal leaders and civilians, despite intensive security operations conducted by the SDF.
On June 11, ISIS claimed the killing of two members of the SDF in the town of al-Busayrah in eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
[Breitbart] The Wall Street Journal reported this weekend on a four-day road trip from New Orleans to Chicago and back in an electric vehicle (EV) that ended up as a disaster — one that left the author grateful for her ordinary car, even at today’s high gas price.
The Journal article, by Rachel Wolfe, was titled: "I Rented an Electric Car for a Four-Day Road Trip. I Spent More Time Charging It Than I Did Sleeping." In it, the author described planning the journey, using the PlugShare app to map charging stations and estimate charging times, based on the relative strength of each public charging station. She noted that more charging stations should, in theory, be available in future, thanks to the federal government’s new infrastructure bill.
For now, however, long-distance travel by electric vehicle proved almost impossible, saving just $100 and costing hours. At several points, Wolfe recalled, the car nearly ran out of battery; they missed several appointments. They also had to take drastic steps to curb their use of power, such as unplugging their phones and turning down their windshield wipers.
She wrote: "Over four days, we spent $175 on charging. We estimated the equivalent cost for gas in a Kia Forte would have been $275, based on the AAA average national gas price for May 19. That $100 savings cost us many hours in waiting time."
Wolfe also described conversations with fellow travelers: "The woman charging next to us describes a harrowing recent trip in her Volkswagen ID.4. Deborah Carrico, 65, had to be towed twice while driving between her Louisville, Ky., apartment and Boulder, Colo., where her daughter was getting married." She noted that the woman had described feeling unsafe while charging at night, and that her family had urged her to trade in her electric car in favor of an old-fashioned gas model.

^The current generation of EVs aren't made for road trips. They're made for driving around town, and are reasonably good at it.

As long as it is not winter, since range falls with temperature.
If I remember my chemistry, reaction rates fall by half for every 10 degree Centigrade decrease in temperature. This reduces EV range. I suspect this also means longer charging times but I have seen this discussed.

[NYPOST] New York Rep. Alexandria Sandy Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... declined to endorse President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family, the guy who bungled Afghanistan...... ’s 2024 re-election bid on Sunday, saying Democrats have to get through the fall’s midterm races first.
"First of all, I’m focused on winning this majority right now and preserving a majority this year in 2022," Ocasio-Cortez, who represents the Bronx and Queens, told host Dana Bash on CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... ’s "State of the Union."
"So we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. But I think, if the president has a vision, then that’s something certainly we’re all willing to entertain and examine when the time comes," she continued.
Bash then pushed the left-wing politician on the question, pointing out, "That’s not a yes."
"Yes, I think we should endorse when we get to it," Ocasio-Cortez said. "But I believe that the president has been doing a very good job so far. And should he run again, I think that we will take a look at it."
The second-term congresswoman, 32, has previously warned Biden, 79, that he risks losing the support of progressive and younger party voters, and called on him to make good on his campaign promise and use executive action to wipe out millions of dollars in student debt.

[SHAFAQ] The Speaker of the Iraqi parliament, Mohammad al-Halboosi, on Sunday said that he "reluctantly" approved the resignation of the Sadrist politicians at the behest of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Moqtada Tater al-Sadr ...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry... Al-Halboosi tweeted, "at the behest of Sayyid Moqtada al-Sadr, we reluctantly accepted the resignation of our brothers and sisters, the representatives of the Sadrist bloc, from the Iraqi parliament."
"We sincerely and honestly attempted to dissuade him, but he preferred to sacrifice rather than become a holdup. For the homeland and the people, he opted to proceed with this decision."
The members of the Sadrist bloc in Iraq's parliament resigned earlier today after their leader, powerful Shiite holy man Moqtada al-Sadr, asked them to step down amid a prolonged stalemate over forming a government.
Al-Sadr's party was the biggest winner in an October general election, increasing the number of seats it holds in parliament to 73. But political disagreement among parties has hindered the parliament from electing a president and forming a government.
Al-Sadr, a populist who has positioned himself as a staunch opponent of both Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and the US, said in a handwritten statement that his request to politicians to resign was "a sacrifice from me for the country and the people to rid them of the unknown destiny".
Soon after, the parliamentary speaker accepted the resignations.
In a video shown on Iraq's state news agency INA, Speaker Mohammed al-Halboosi was seen signing the politicians' resignations.

[REUTERS] Russian forces have blown up a bridge linking the embattled Ukrainian city of Sievierodonetsk to another city across the river, cutting off a possible evacuation route for civilians, local officials said on Sunday.
Sievierodonetsk has become the epicenter of the battle for control over Ukraine's eastern Donbas region. Parts of the city have been pulverized in some of the bloodiest fighting since the Kremlin unleashed its invasion on Feb. 24.

[NYPOST] A Queens man has been arrested for two separate random slashings on a No. 7 train in as many days — including one that left the subway car so bloody, it had to be taken out of service, cops and sources said Sunday.
Donny Ubiera, 32, stabbed two men — one in the face and the other in the neck — without provocation in separate incidents Friday and Saturday morning along the Flushing-to-Midtown subway line, the NYPD said in a statement.
The first attack occurred at 8:40 a.m. during the Friday morning rush hour at Queensboro Plaza in Long Island City, Queens, and left the 62-year-old victim with cuts to the face and hand, according to police.
There was so much blood in the train car that it had to be taken out of service, sources said.
The victim needed stitches to close his wounds.
Ubiera then allegedly struck again the next day at 7:15 a.m. at the 74th Street-Broadway station in Jackson Heights, Queens. Cops said he approached his unsuspecting victim, displayed a "large" knife and stabbed the man in the neck and fled.

[NYPOST] A Queens man was hacked to death by his machete-wielding uncle in an ongoing feud over the family’s house, cops and neighbors told The Post on Sunday.
Suspect Mahadeo Suhnandan, 50, is now awaiting arraignment for allegedly killing his 29-year-old nephew, Neraz Roberts, inside the home.
Roberts was pronounced dead at 88-27 187 Place in Jamaica around 5 a.m. with gashes to his back and hand, cops said.
Neighbor Ryan Basdeo, 24, said problems in the family began about 2 1/2 years ago when the owner of the house died, leaving her son, her daughter and Suhnandan, the daughter’s husband, to sort out the ownership of the two-story brick home, Badeo said.
Both the son and his family, including his own offspring Roberts, and the daughter and her husband lived at the property.

Eh? I thought all they were is an amalgamation of armed faction on the Iranian payroll.
Al-Sadr said, according to a figure close to him known as "the leader's assistant", that it has become necessary to organize al-Hashd and its leadership, separate it from the armed factions, and fire those who damage the fighters' reputation, to maintain the security and stability of the country.
"It is unacceptable to associate al-Hashd's name with politics, trade, conflicts, or political differences", he concluded.

[KhaamaPress] According to the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... front man Zabihullah Mujahid, the group’s forces killed eight ISIS members during a special operation in Taloqan, Takhar province’s capital.
He announced on his Twitter handle that the operation was carried out this Saturday evening, 11th of June, in Taloqan’s fourth district.
He stated the special operation was carried out to target an ISIS training center in Taloqan, and that eight ISIS turbans were killed in the operation, including the group’s senior commander, Younes Uzbekistani.
At the same time, Taliban forces are said to have clashed in Taloqan, while local sources in Takhar province claim an armed clash between supporters of Mawlawi Qadir Hami and other Taliban members.
During the festivities, civilians were also maimed, and a lumber yard was set ablaze, according to sources in the province.
Officials from the Taliban in the province have yet to respond.
(CNN) -- It's been yet another week of losses for US markets after steep drops on Friday.
The Dow plunged after a key inflation report missed estimates and showed a higher-than-anticipated increase in the price of consumer goods, closing down 880 points for the day, or 2.5%. The S&P 500 shed 2.7% and the Nasdaq dropped about 3%.
The May consumer price index rose 8.6% year-over-year, its highest level since 1981. Economists had forecast an 8.3% increase. The core index, which excludes food and energy prices, rose by 6%, slightly higher than estimates of 5.9%.
Those numbers sent investors reeling. Already worried about a possible economic downturn, they now fear that the Federal Reserve will recognize inflation as entrenched in the economy and increase interest rates further.
The central bank is expected to announce a half-percent interest rate hike next week, but based on this news it could decide to go higher.
"We think the US central bank now has good reason to surprise markets by hiking more aggressively than expected in June," wrote Barclays analysts in a research note on Friday. "We realize it is a close call and that it could play out in either June or July. But we are changing our forecast to call for a 75 [basis point] hike on June 15."
The move would be historic -- the last time the Fed delivered a 75 basis point hike was in November of 1994, nearly three decades ago.
Analysts appeared to be unhappily pricing in the potential for the interest rate hike on Friday. And while many analysts feared that the Federal Reserve was doing too little too late to curb rising inflation rates, they also worrythat sudden large increases in interest rates will do damage to the economy.
"The major risk to consumption, employment, and the economy overall, isn't an organic growth slowdown, but the extent to which extreme energy and food price increases could cause central banks to push against the string, and [the economy could] essentially fall into a damaging policy mistake," wrote Rick Rieder, chief investment officer of Global Fixed Income at BlackRock in a note.
The sell-off on Friday was broad in scope, with stocks in the red on the New York Stock Exchange outnumbering stocks that increased by about nine to one.
Anyone else pissed-off to see so many Economists Jan. 2022 inflation warnings going unheeded by the DC Swamp and becoming reality?
All while the DC Swamp is still more interested in playing the Social Race Cards and spending the future revenues for the next 11+ years to promote their agenda, keep power and amass more family wealth.

[NYPOST] A 70-year-old woman in India was trampled to death by an elephant — and her corpse was then bizarrely attacked by the same beast at her funeral, according to a report.
Police said Maya Murmu had been fetching water from a well in the eastern Indian state of Odisha on Thursday when an elephant came barreling toward her, according to the Print India. The tusked pachyderm had apparently beat feet from the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary, which is located in a neighboring state.
The elephant trampled the woman, who ultimately died of her injuries at a nearby hospital, police told the outlet Saturday.
Murmu’s family was then performing her last rites before lighting a funeral pyre when the elephant allegedly returned and grabbed her body.
The animal threw the corpse in the air and then bravely bravely ran away, the local outlet reported.
Apparently, the family was able to continue the ceremony, and the elephant did not return.

I just find it odd that the elephant specifically targeted this woman and no one else nearby.

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Former Bolivian President Jeanine Anez was sentenced to 10 years in prison Friday on charges she illegally took over the presidency.
The court’s decision to punish Anez, who took office in 2019 following the resignation of former President Evo Morales, was politically motivated, her lawyer Luis Guillen said, according to the New York Times
... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... . Guillen also argued that Bolivia’s current government, led by a socialist ally of Morales, broke the law in its treatment of Anez during her detention.
His team will now "exhaust resources within the country and then appeal to international organizations," Guillen said.
Ivan Lima, the justice minister of the country, said there was "no evidence" to support the allegations and that the country's government "respects the rules of due process."
Her defense team has insisted that she had to step in to fill a power vacuum in 2019, with Anez arguing Friday that her rise to power was "a consequence of all that happened" two years ago and that she "didn’t move a finger to reach the presidency."

The entire purpose of the J6 Star Chamber is to prevent Trump from running in '24 by Indictment. It will never actually go to Trial since there is no actual evidence and nobody on the J6 committee would want to be questioned nevermind cross-examined on the stand - under oath. I think they are just waiting for the right time...
[NBC] Thirty-one people affiliated with the white nationalist group Patriot Front were arrested near an annual LGBTQ+ event Saturday in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, police said.
The suspects were booked on suspicion of conspiracy to riot, Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said at an afternoon news conference. Among those in custody late Saturday was a man with the same name as Patriot Front's Dallas-based founder, Thomas Ryan Rousseau.
White said police were made aware in recent days that a number of groups planned to disrupt Pride in the Park, an annual event highlighting the civil rights struggles of LGBTQ+ communities.
Staffing was increased and awareness was heightened by the time dispatchers fielded a report of 20 people in a U-Haul vehicle Saturday afternoon, he said.

I'm too old to play dress up for the benefit of the feebs and the DHS. In light of the current J6 committee depredations, there's no need to attend potentially confrontational political "events."
Save your powder for the main show.

There's a picture ciculating of an Agent holding a megaphone which was brought by the group.
The megaphone clearly has the letters F B I on the side of it.

Living in the same state, this one smells. Back in '20 when Antifa and BLM thought they were going to have their way with C d'A, the locals lined the main street carrying ARs. Now for some queer alphabet fest that no one local seems to give a shit about, it takes 30 out of staters to gin up a story. Hmmm...

Back in the 90s Athol Idaho (just north or Coeur d'Alien was a major neo-nazi stronghold. If that is still true (and I suspect it is) this might be an attempt to justify busting things up.
[ET - paywall busted] Barring any unforeseen future developments, the ruling means that even though Pennsylvania law requires that ballots that arrive without a signed, dated declaration from the voter are to be discarded, such ballots will be counted in upcoming elections.
The ruling came on June 10 as the court accepted former hedge fund CEO David McCormick’s request to discontinue litigation still pending before the court after he narrowly lost a Republican primary contest for a Pennsylvania seat in the U.S. Senate seat against celebrity heart surgeon Mehmet Oz.
McCormick conceded the race to Oz on June 3, and after a recount, state election officials declared Oz the winner by 951 votes on June 8.
In granting McCormick’s application to withdraw, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania made the following order: "In addition, upon consideration of the Application to Vacate Memorandum Opinion and Order of June 2, 2022, (Application to Vacate) filed by Oz [and his campaign], in which [Republican National Committee and the Republican Party of Pennsylvania] join, and the answer filed by the [Acting] Secretary [of the Commonwealth, Leigh Chapman], the Application to Vacate is DENIED."
On June 11, Democratic Party lawyer Marc Elias, who fights election integrity laws claiming they unfairly disenfranchise voters, posted a court docket entry and celebrated the ruling on Twitter.

When was the last time a SCOTUS decision was 'go punt', ie use Article V as it was intended.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] A local imam was murdered on Sunday morning in Taiz city, local sources reported.
The sources confirmed that the Imam of the al-Mujahid mosque in the Al-Nasiria area, Tamer Sedky was killed by unknown gunmen.
According to the sources, gunmen on motorbikes opened fire at Tamer Sedky, killing him instantly. The gunmen fled the scene to an unknown destination.
The assassination comes as the city of Taiz has been witnessing a security surge against the backdrop of a strike by merchants, denouncing the illegal royalties and levies imposed on them by armed gangs, whose members belong to the Taiz military forces of the Islah Party.
[Guardian] Former Alaska governor and Republican ex-vice presidential candidate Sarah Mama Grizzly Palin ... the babe libs love to hate ... leads in early results from Saturday’s special primary for the state’s only US House seat in what could be a remarkable political re-emergence.
Voters in the far north-western state are whittling down the list of 48 candidates running for the position that was held for 49 years by the late US Representative Don Young.
The early results showed Palin, endorsed by Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... , with 29.8% of the votes counted so far; Republican Nick Begich had 19.3%; independent Al Gross had 12.5%; Democrat Mary Peltola with 7.5%; and Republican Tara Sweeney had 5.3%.
A candidate whose name is Santa Claus, a self-described "independent, progressive, democratic socialist", had 4.5%.
In a statement Palin said she was looking forward to "fixing this country by responsibly developing Alaska’s God-given resources" and then expressed rightwing talking points on gun rights, child sacrifice abortion and a desire for a smaller government.
The top four vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to an August special election in which ranked choice voting will be used. The winner of the special election will serve the remainder of Young’s term, which ends in January. Young died in March at age 88.
This election was unlike any the state has seen, crammed with candidates and conducted primarily by mail. This was the first election, too, under a system approved by voters in 2020 that ends party primaries and uses ranked choice voting in general elections.
Saturday marked the first ballot count; state elections officials plan additional counts on Wednesday and Friday, and a final count on 21 June. They have targeted 25 June to certify the race.

Jpal, the power players in the industry and government have a good idea what might be producible from ANWR; I expect if it was really significant they would work out a back room deal before the pipeline becomes unusable (it is running well below capacity and approaching the lower limit of usability.

[NYPOST] Home Depot workers do not have the right to wear Black Lives Matter merchandise or imagery while on the job, a federal judge has ruled.
In his ruling Friday, administrative judge Paul Bogas rejected a complaint from the US National Labor Relations Board that the home improvement retailer violated employees’ rights by barring them from displaying BLM gear, Bloomberg News said in a report.
Bogas wrote that the BLM moniker lacked "an objective and sufficiently direct relationship to terms and conditions of employment."
BLM’s message "originated and is primarily used to address the unjustified killings of black individuals by law enforcement," he wrote.
"To the extent the message is being used for reasons beyond that, it operates as a political umbrella for societal concerns and related to the workplace only in the sense that workplaces are part of society," the judge said.

With all such things, I apply a simple application rule.
If I substituted WHITE would people be screaming Racist/Racism?
Since BLM is openly a BLACK ONLY based Group, therefore it is Racist.
Allowing any BLM, KKK or Neo-Nazi display would be promoting racism and therefore all are unacceptable.
But wait for it.
The LSD's & BLM will likely resort to a Social Media smear campaign and go ape $hit trying to create a 60++ year link to a former founder's great grand father.
Employers need to get out of, and keep Social Politics out of, their operations and just run a business.

Back to corporate dress codes: white button-down shirt with tie and dress slacks or approximately knee-length skirt (tie optional for women) for management, white button down shirt and jeans or knee-length skirt for hourly workers. WalMart has the basic shirt for under $12, so it won’t be a major expense to make the change.

[Korrespondent] 22:09 The British corporation QinetiQ will provide Ukraine with ten TALON sapper robots, which can not only search for mines, but also neutralize them, said Alexei Beloshitsky, First Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department. According to him, before the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine already had 12 such robots.
22:07 Zaluzhny spoke with US General Mark Milley and told him that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had launched a counteroffensive in certain areas. According to him, today the width of the front is 2450 km, of which 1105 km are actively fighting.
Zaluzhny also said that the enemy concentrated the main efforts in the north of the Luhansk region, where he massively uses artillery and has a tenfold fire advantage. The situation in Severodonetsk remains the most difficult, where the enemy has deployed seven battalion tactical groups.
22:04 In 30 countries of the world, the Russian diaspora staged anti-war actions on June 12, protesting against the invasion of Ukraine. The protesters said they were against the fascist ideology of the "Russian world" and urged the world to "do everything to stop this madness as soon as possible."
Also, actions were held in many cities of Russia, however, as the media say, these actions were secret. So, in the sky above the houses of Barnaul, a home-made poster Peace to Ukraine!!! Freedom of Russia!!! they raised white and blue balloons, and in the sky over Ufa, the same calls were carried by paper airplanes.
22:02 Zelensky said that after a missile attack on the Ternopil region, ten people are still in hospitals. "There was no tactical or strategic sense in this strike, as in the vast majority of other Russian strikes. This is terror, just terror," the president said. Among the victims, according to him, is a 12-year-old girl who left Kharkov for the Ternopil region to escape from the Russian army.
21:58 Zelensky said that Kiev continues to work to facilitate the access of Ukrainian goods to all important markets of the world: “Duty-free trade with the EU has already been canceled. The United States is already using a duty-free regime for Ukrainian steel. Canada has canceled duties. The same regime will work in the near future time with the UK.We expect trade liberalization from Australia.The ministerial conference of the members of the World Trade Organization began today.Before it began, representatives of 57 states gathered for a special event of solidarity with Ukraine, and I am grateful to them for this.And we will learn from the results of this intergovernmental conference, in particular , and the timing of the decision on trade indulgences for Ukraine from Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland".
21:54 Zelensky, in an evening video message, spoke about the situation at the front: "The key tactical goal of the occupiers has not changed - they are pressing in Severodonetsk, there are very fierce battles literally for every meter, and they are also pressing in the direction of Lisichansk, Bakhmut, Slavyansk. The Russian army is trying to send reserve forces to the Donbass. But what kind of reserves can they have now? It seems that they will try to throw into battle poorly trained conscripts and those who were gathered along the path of covert mobilization. And this means only one thing: Russia could cross the border of 40 thousand in June of their lost soldiers. In no other war in many decades have they lost so much. "
21:38 Stoltenberg said that peace in Ukraine depends on what Kiev and the West are ready to go: "Peace in Ukraine is possible. The question is what will be its price. How much territory, freedom and democracy are we willing to pay for this peace. NATO intends help Ukraine to give it the strongest position at the negotiating table with Russia that should end the hostilities."
21:23 In Russia, they say about the "acts of terrorism" that took place today in the occupied Berdyansk and Melitopol. Thus, in Berdyansk, as a result of a substation explosion, electricity was cut off in a number of areas, and in Melitopol, four people were injured in an explosion near the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - as they say, civilians, not officials or the military.
20:44 Finnish President Saule Niiniste said that his country will not join NATO separately from Sweden: "I will say that the case of Sweden is our case. This means that we will move on together."
He also noted that Ankara's claims to Helsinki and Stockholm regarding alleged support for terrorists surprised him: "We were surprised by the position of Turkey, but in international politics we must take seriously what the other side says. This is what we will do. I hope We will find a solution that satisfies everyone."
20:36 The Kiev region is ready to give a proper rebuff to the enemy in the event of a second attempt by the Russians to attack the capital, said the head of the Regional State Administration Oleksiy Kuleba after checking the border fortifications of the Kiev region. He stressed that the threat of another Russian attack "exists and will exist until we win."
20:19 The head of the Lugansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai said that there is no threat of cordoning off the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Luhansk region. He also said that about 500 civilians, including 40 children, remain on the territory of the Azot plant in Severodonetsk. Sometimes the military manages to evacuate someone. In general, there is no evacuation from Severodonetsk, the only way out of the city is on foot along one surviving bridge, which is under shelling all day. The bridge is old and critically damaged, in case of its destruction the regional center will be cut off.
According to Gaidai, the Russians are heavily shelling Lisichansk, today a six-year-old child was killed by enemy fire. Heavy fighting continues in the Mountain community. Humanitarian supplies are delivered daily to Lisichansk, from where they are taken by car to other settlements in the region.
19:58 Erdogan announced negotiations with Zelensky and Putin next week, he is going to discuss problems with the export of Ukrainian grain.
19:46 Reznikov, in an interview with The Economist, expressed disappointment with the loss of interest on the part of Western politicians and the media in the difficulties of the Ukrainian army: “Either the world does not quite understand what is happening, or it understands perfectly, but is tired and ready to come to terms with the opinion that Ukrainians die every day We need help quickly because every day of procrastination is measured in the blood of Ukrainians I understand that fatigue and exhaustion is a natural psychological reaction of the body to stress Politicians have their own concerns, they must think about internal problems Leaders of countries have a duty think about the consequences. The bureaucracy and pragmatism of the West turned out to be much stronger than Western values."
19:33 Famous Japanese architect Hiroki Matsura, after visiting Irpin, called it a "dream city for urbanists" and agreed to develop a master plan for its restoration: "I have been to ten cities in Ukraine. This is the best city I have seen. For us, urbanists, Irpin "This is a city of dreams. I understand why young families move here."
19:18 In the Slavic direction, the Ukrainian military repelled enemy attempts to attack, fierce battles for Severodonetsk continue, the Russians are preparing an offensive in the Liman direction, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said.
19:07 Stoltenberg called Turkey's concerns about the membership of Finland and Sweden in NATO legitimate: "We are talking about terrorism and the export of weapons. And we must understand that no other NATO member has suffered from terrorist attacks more than Turkey." So, he said, when a key alliance ally like Turkey raises the issue of terrorism, "of course we have to sit down at the negotiating table and take it seriously."
18:43 As a result of regular attacks by the Russian army, the Ukrainian railway network has suffered losses of $ 2.7 billion since the beginning of the war, Forbes calculated. The total length of the damaged railway tracks is approximately 6300 km, 41 bridges were damaged to some extent. In total, the length of the railway tracks of Ukraine is 22 thousand km, that is, more than a quarter is damaged.
18:21 Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk addressed the German government: "Dear government! Why are you denying the Ukrainian army Marder infantry fighting vehicles, which can be immediately supplied by Rheinmetall, while Ukraine is bleeding in the Donbas before your eyes? 109 days of Russian extermination war. Why?"
17:46 In the Dnipropetrovsk region, the enemy fired at the Sinelnikovsky and Kryvyi Rih districts, the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko, said. A woman died in the Intercession community, a house was destroyed. In the Zelenodolsk community, a fire broke out in a city park, which was hit by the enemy from Hurricanes. The fire was extinguished, there were no casualties.
17:25 Pope Francis in his Sunday sermon urged not to let the war in Ukraine become commonplace: "Please, let's not get used to this tragic reality. Let's pray and fight for peace."
17:13 In Mariupol, the invaders have taken out the third ship of stolen Ukrainian rolled metal, which is being sent to Rostov-on-Don, Mayor's adviser Petr Andryushchenko said.
16:59 Russian Foreign Ministry Speaker Maria Zakharova said that Polish MEP Radoslav Sikorsky, who proposed returning nuclear weapons to Ukraine due to Russia's violation of the Budapest Memorandum, jeopardizes the Polish people: "Polish politicians, who are controlled by an American drive belt, display extremist ideology ", spread hatred, stir up conflicts, and now also threaten the planet with a violation of the nuclear non-proliferation regime. But most importantly, they endanger the Polish people, who are being drawn into the nuclear redistribution of the world."
16:11 During two exchanges of bodies of the dead, Ukraine received the bodies of 220 defenders of Mariupol who were at the Azovstal plant. In Kyiv, measures have begun to identify the dead, said the ex-commander of the Azov regiment Maxim Zhorin.
16:09 The EU is on the verge of a historic decision on the eve of the summit on June 23-24, where the issues of granting Ukraine candidate status will be considered, Ursula von der Leyen said: "I hope that in 20 years, remembering these events, we will be able to say that we have acted right".
15:51 Ukraine has developed routes for the export of grain through Poland and Romania, Deputy Foreign Minister Dmitry Senik said: "These routes are not ideal, but we are doing our best to develop them."
15:33 British intelligence reports that Russia is gradually advancing in Severodonetsk, using its superiority in numbers and artillery. The Russian Federation continues to seek to form additional combat units for deployment in Ukraine.
In recent weeks, preparations have probably begun for the deployment of a third battalion. Usually, no more than two of the three battalions are involved in operations at the same time. Third battalions in brigades are often understrength - Russia will likely have to rely on conscripts or mobilized reservists to move these units into Ukraine. Analysts note that deploying all three battalions at the same time is likely to reduce the long-term ability of these formations to recover from combat.
14:47 The leader of the "DPR" Pushilin said that there are no prerequisites for mitigating the "sentence" of convicted foreign "mercenaries".
14:20 In the Bryansk region, they tried to undermine the Druzhba oil pipeline, according to the Russian telegram channel Baza. Early in the morning of June 11, near the village of Gulevka, 40 km from the border with Ukraine, three explosions thundered - at the same time, a signal was triggered about the loss of communication with the pipeline valve. According to preliminary data, these were shellless explosive devices. The Druzhba pipeline itself was not damaged, but the anti-burrowing pipe and substation were damaged, and the power unit for controlling the valve was also de-energized.
In Russia, Transneft reported that there were no interruptions in the operation of the oil pipeline, pumping to Europe is proceeding according to schedule on both branches.
13:56 Ukraine cannot count on the fact that Putin will keep his word and provide safe passage for ships with grain, said German Minister of Agriculture Cem Ozdemir.
13:45 Residents of Kherson ignored the celebration of the Day of Russia - only 30-40 people came to the "triumph" organized by the occupying authorities, said the head of the Kherson Regional Council Alexander Samoylenko.
13:16 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced that Caliber missiles in the Ternopil region destroyed "a large warehouse of ATGMs, MANPADS and shells delivered to Kiev from the USA and Europe."
13:00 The area of mined territories in the Kiev region is equal to the area of Belgium, said the head of the Kiev OVA Oleksiy Kuleba. According to him, more than 41,000 explosive objects have already been discovered and destroyed in the region, but residents of the Kiev region are still asked not to enter the forests and use only paved roads.

11:01 In the "LPR" they said that they would not storm Azot in Severodonetsk, but would blockade it, like Azovstal in Mariupol.
10:59 In Kiev, the drunken head of the department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine opened fire near one of the LCDs, next to the playground. The incident was confirmed by Reznikov.

A military facility was destroyed and four five-story civilian buildings were damaged. One of the missiles hit the gas main, so the city was cut off from gas supply, they promise to resume it by the end of today, said the head of the Ternopil OVA Vladimir Trush.
10:35 The head of the Lugansk OVA, Sergei Gaidai, spoke about "three hellish parties" for the Russian occupiers: "The Wagnerites had a good rest at the stadium in Kadievka, the rashists sat at a meeting of death in the Severodonetsk Chemists' PC and Chechen fun in Rubizhne."
10:33 As a result of a missile attack on Chortkiv, 22 people were injured, including children. Partially destroyed a military facility and four houses, said the head of the Ternopil OVA Volodymyr Trush.
10:31 The "authorities" of Mariupol have warned that there will be no heating in winter, but heating tents will be set up.

09:57 The Russians have destroyed the second bridge between Severodonetsk and Lisichansk, they are powerfully shelling the third one, said the head of the Luhansk OVA, Sergei Gaidai. The territory of Azot is constantly shelled, fighting is going on in the surrounding streets. The enemy is approaching Vrubovka.
09:36 The decision to grant Ukraine the status of a candidate for EU membership at the summit on June 23-24 should be of a legal nature, Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Olga Stefanishyna said on the air of the telethon: "The legal nature is the granting of a specific status to Ukraine, which will fix the political will leaders and will create an opportunity for funding, and for the restoration of the state, and for our movement towards European reforms.
According to her, any other formats will not carry legal obligations, but will only be a political promise that is easy enough to break. As an example of broken political promises, Stefanyshina named the situation with Ukraine's accession to NATO in 2008 and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
09:34 Vladimir Rogov, a member of the "main council of the military-civilian administration" of the Zaporozhye region, said that "two pops occurred due to a short circuit" at the transformer station in Berdyansk, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

In the border areas of Belarus, additional measures are being taken to equip checkpoints with engineering equipment and deploy additional electronic warfare equipment.
08:45 Mayor of Energodar Dmitry Orlov asks residents of the city today not to attend mass events planned by the Russians - provocations from the special services of the Russian Federation are possible.
08:44 In the Luhansk region, fighting for Severodonetsk continues, a very difficult situation in Toshkovka, where the Russians are trying to "push through" the defense line, said the head of the OVA Serhiy Gaidai.
08:33 Several explosions sounded in Russian-occupied Berdyansk, Zaporozhye region, on the morning of June 12, RIA-Melitopol reports. According to preliminary information, one of the explosions occurred at an electrical substation, half of the city was left without electricity.
08:06 The German concern Rheinmetall announced that it is modernizing 100 Marder infantry fighting vehicles, previously in service with the Bundeswehr. Several infantry fighting vehicles are already ready for use and can be immediately sent to Ukraine, but the date of dispatch will be determined by the German government.
07:57 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that the actions of the Russian invaders indicate that they will continue and intensify their offensive against the cities of Slavyansk and Seversk in the Dornetsk region. We are talking about the construction of a new bridge along the land lines of communication of the occupiers to the Izyum of the Kharkov region.
The statement by the Main Intelligence Directorate that Russia is planning a war for the next 120 days until October 2022, according to ISW, probably indicates that the Kremlin, at a minimum, has recognized the impossibility of quickly achieving its goals in Ukraine and continues to adjust its military goals in an attempt to eliminate initial disadvantages of the invasion.
The Institute, citing geolocation footage, suggests that Russian and Chechen units have also taken control of the railway station in Kamyshevakh, Lugansk region (about seven kilometers west of T1303) and are likely to try to link up with units advancing on Orekhovo.

The official also assured that China has never provided any material or military assistance to Russia.
In addition, he stated that "China will fight to the end if anyone tries to separate Taiwan from it."
07:41 The British Sean Pinner and Aiden Aslin, as well as the Moroccan Saadun Brahim, "sentenced" by the court of the so-called "DNR" to death, have not yet been provided with the text of the "sentence" in their languages. According to one of the lawyers, Pavel Kosovan, the convicts will have 30 days to file a complaint after receiving the translated text of the verdict.
07:30 U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink assured that Biden "really respects" Zelensky and his leadership. She said this, commenting on Biden's statement that Zelensky "did not want to hear" warnings about the Russian invasion, she told the UP: "This does not deserve to be news. Russia is trying to destroy the Ukrainian nation and its culture, the United States will not remain in side and will not allow this to happen. President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine have inspired the world with their courage and resilience, showing the world that Ukraine will never be conquered by Russia.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is a Social Democrat, so a creature of the Left. In his youth he was described as a radical Marxist, but he apparently moderated with maturity. One would expect a sentimental attachment to Russia, with such a history, with all that entails.

[NewsFrontInfo] 23:50 From September 1, Melitopol schools will start working according to the standards of education of the Russian Federation. This was told by the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Sergey Kravtsov.
Today he visited Melitopol, met with representatives of schools. Sergey Kravtsov assured that Russia is in our region forever, the children will receive a quality education and will be provided with everything necessary so that they have confidence in the future. 23:30 Air raid sirens sound in Ukraine.
21:50 There was a terrorist attack in Berdyansk, as a result of a substation explosion, electricity was cut off in a number of areas, said Selivanov, deputy head of the GUMVD
21:50 Terrorist attacks in Melitopol and Berdyansk are directed against civilians, they suffered, not officials or the military - Deputy Head of the GUMVD Selivanov
21:50 According to updated data, four people were injured as a result of the terrorist attack in Melitopol
21:50 Deputy head of the GUMVD for the Zaporozhye region Selivanov about the terrorist attack in Melitopol:
"The terrorist war of Kyiv against civilians in the Zaporozhye region suggests that the state of affairs of the Ukrainian military is disappointing. They strike at the civilian population on an Orthodox holiday in order to intimidate."
20:40 Nationalists near Nikolaev lost three warehouses with ammunition at once. Aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out air strikes on ammunition depots and the accumulation of nationalist military equipment near Nikolaev.

20:39 Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he plans to negotiate with Vladimir Putin next week. He expects to discuss, among other things, the "grain problem."
19:59 The German edition of Spiegel reports that Germany has blocked the transfer of Spanish Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine. The reason for this, according to the editorial staff, is the allegedly existing agreement between the EU countries on the non-provision of tanks to the Kyiv regime.
The publication also points out that Berlin universally refuses permission to send weapons of German origin to the Nazi regime to the EU countries. Also, Germany itself at the moment has practically blocked the military assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A number of Western and Ukrainian experts see this as signs of a "conspiracy" between Olaf Scholz and Vladimir Putin.
19:59 The British edition of The Guardian suggests that the monstrous losses of Ukrainian formations may lead to the fact that soon there will be no one to fight with the Russian Army. Contrary to the losses announced by Kyiv, the British are convinced that Ukrainian losses range from 600 to 1,000 people a day.
"The total number of casualties — more than 20,000 a month — raises questions about what state the Ukrainian army will be in if the war drags on until autumn. The Russian army already controls large parts of Ukraine, and they can suspend hostilities with a territorial advantage," writes The Guardian.
18:47 The power of the device that exploded in Melitopol is equivalent to 700-800 grams of TNT, Rogov, a member of the administration, said.

16:54 Exclusive frames successful defeat of the equipment of Ukrainian militants in the Mykolaiv direction. Artillery guns, ammunition depots and anti-aircraft installations were detected by drones and destroyed.
16:14 China: sanctions will not help end the conflict in Ukraine. China is not interested in the conflict in Ukraine, but believes that sanctions pressure will not help solve the problem, but will only complicate the situation. This was stated by Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe.
"Conflict or war is the last thing China would like to see, at the same time, we do not believe that maximum pressure or sanctions can solve the problem. They can even heighten tensions and further complicate the situation. Unfortunately, the United States has not yet come to this and the war continues."

The units were housed in the building of a mental hospital and a vocational school, where they were overtaken by precise strikes of the Aerospace Forces today.
A large number of dead and buried under the rubble of the bodies of Ukrainian militants. Whether they will be raked is not known. They can immediately add to the list of missing persons. Now they do not like to make payments to families in the Ukrainian regime. Just written off as waste material. Privolye occupies a strategic place on a hill above Severodonetsk, Rubizhny, Kremennaya. From there, in recent weeks, incessant shelling of the surroundings has been carried out. It will be quieter today,” he wrote.
15:06 Many relatives of Ukrainian prisoners in the Russian Federation are asking not to return them to Ukraine - they are afraid of reprisals or a new dispatch to the front, Ombudsman Tatyana Moskalkova said.
14:03 Kyiv does not exclude the exchange of the Britons Sean Pinner and Aiden Aslin, sentenced to death in the DPR, for the Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, or even a military operation to free them. This was written by the British tabloid Sunday Express, citing unnamed sources in the Ukrainian capital.
14:02 Brave discovered propaganda literature in the school of Severodonetsk. After the liberation of Severodonetsk, the Russian military got interesting trophies - namely, school textbooks that distort the real history of the world and Ukraine. Propaganda materials that glorify the actions of the Nazi Ukrainian troops to exterminate the population of Donbass deserve special attention. It is noteworthy that some of the hellish books were compiled with the financial support of the UN Office in Ukraine.
12:37 Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated all Russians on Russia Day:

[Liberty Daily] Imagine if a black teen was beaten to death by three white men. There would be rioting in the streets. Joe Biden would have read from his teleprompter at least once between lunch and naptime. Corporate media would have reporters staking out every location with even the slightest connection to the crime.
But Ethan Liming, 17, was White and the three men who allegedly beat him to death are Black, so most in media are completely ignoring the story. The NY Post is currently one of the few who have written about it:
Three men have been arrested in connection to the killing of a teenager outside LeBron James-founded Ohio high school in early June, federal authorities announced Saturday.
Ethan Liming, 17, was found beaten to death on June 2 in the parking lot of I Promise School in Akron.
In a press release, the US Marshals Service revealed that the federal entity’s Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force and Akron Police on Saturday morning arrested Deshawn Stafford Jr., 20, Tyler Stafford, 19 and Donovon Jones, 21, at two different residential buildings in Akron.
Liming was brutally beaten to death at around 10:46 p.m. on June 2. Authorities have said the teen died from blunt force trauma to the head after he drove around with his friends and shot a water gun at people.
Liming was lying on the ground in the parking lot when police arrived, officials have said. They were unable to save him, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The racial divide in America is driven almost entirely by the race-baiters, corporate media, and the Cultural Marxists among us. They amplify stories when a person of color is hurt or killed and they suppress stories in which the victims are White or Asian-American.

[NYPOST] Progressives thought they had their dream pick to lead the Federal Trade Commission last year when President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...... nominated Lina Khan — but her management style is leading to staff discontent and risks derailing her ambitions, The Post has learned.

For example, Office of International Affairs director Randy Tritell is expected to leave later this month after 24 years with the agency, two sources close to the FTC said. Tritell had taken issue with Khan’s management style and had seen several members of his team reassigned to work on mergers and acquisitions, the sources said.
FTC spokesperson Peter Kaplan declined to comment on Tritell’s departure but said that the agency has "had to identify creative ways to re-allocate internal resources to help with this intense workload." Tritell declined to comment.

These people are arrogant beyond belief and think that they are 100% right about anything and anyone who disagrees is a bigot. Why not be a complete little prick to people who are experts in the field? You're right and they're wrong, end of story.
[NYPOST] Ex-NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly predicts that left-wing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is "here to stay" — despite renewed calls for his ouster prompted by the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... voters booting their progressive top prosecutor last week.
During a radio interview out Sunday, Kelly pointed out that New York does not hold recall elections, leaving Bragg’s future in the hands of Gov. Kathy Hochul, who he projected wouldn’t take the political risk.
"New York doesn’t have that capability. Only the governor can remove a district attorney, and that’s not going to happen," Kelly explained to "The Cats Roundtable" host John Catsimatidis.
"I don’t think Governor Hochul is going to touch this, because it’s toxic as far as the politics are concerned," the former Big Apple top cop said.
The governor, Kelly opined, would want to avoid facing the political blowback produced by showing the first black Manhattan DA the door.

On Sunday morning, June the 12th, a kaboom took place on a vehicle carrying Taliban ...Arabic for students... forces in the Kari area of Faizabad, Badakhshan province.
The explosion was triggered by a roadside explosive, according to officials, and caused no casualties.
The second explosion occurred in the Kuhna Foroshi area of Kunduz’s third police district.
Consistent with the sources, a roadside kaboom detonated, injuring four civilians in Kunduz province’s third police district.
The third explosion happened in Asadabad, the picturesque provincial capital of Kunar.
The blast occurred on a Taliban military vehicle in the province, according to local sources.
Officials from the Taliban in the area have yet to confirm the blast, and no information regarding the nature of the blast or potential casualties has been given.
An explosion in Kabul’s 12th police district killed or injured a number of civilians yesterday evening.
[KhaamaPress] According to local sources in Kunar province ... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country..... , a kaboom in Asadabad, the bucolic provincial capital, killed a Taliban ...Arabic for students... member and injured six others, including two civilians.
The explosion happened on Sunday, June 12, at around 9:00 p.m. in Kunar province’s center, Asadabad.
The explosion, which was reported to be caused by a landmine, was said to have targeted a former security forces Ranger vehicle which is now in the hands of the Taliban.

According to sources, the two incidences resulted in the injuries of four Taliban forces. The number of attacks on the Taliban has recently increased, and UN experts have predicted an increase in attacks on the Taliban as the weather gets warmer.
No wonder the Talibs haven’t yet got round to putting their forces in a proper uniform — it would make them even more of a target than they are already.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Sunday that its special units, in collaboration with the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, had captured a funding cell affiliated with the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) in al-Hawl town east of the northeastern Syrian city of Hasakah.
The town of al-Hawl is located near Hawl camp, which contains thousands of Syrian and foreign ISIS families, in five separate sectors.
The SDF said on its official website that the funding cell consisted of “three terrorists,” who “were responsible for transferring funds financing the ISIS cells” in Hasakah countryside and other areas in north and east Syria.
The SDF noted that “weapons, equipment, and documents were confiscated” in the operation.
On June 10, the SDF revealed that its special units carried out similar security operation targeting a ISIS member south of Hasakah. However, the extremist militant was killed during clashes with the SDF.
In addition, on June 1, the SDF announced that it had arrested four wanted ISIS members, including a leader, in the southern countryside of Hasakah.
The areas of northeastern Syria are living in a state of concern following the latest Turkish threats of mounting a new incursion in northern Syria, as any military operation will lay the ground for ISIS to reorganize its ranks.

...BS in engineering from Stanford, Masters in policy from MIT, reached captain after ten years in the Air Force and AF Reserve, then worked in the private sector, so she should know better, even if she did go into politics after that hypocritical anti-Trump Pussy-Hat March.

has apparently been so radicalized by her caucus that she now says the Republican Party is "diseased" and must be "cleansed."
"This is, in my opinion, a diseased Republican Party. And it needs to be cured and cleansed," Houlahan said on the Daily Beast’s The New Abnormal podcast last month. "So the stakes of having a Republican, as an example, in my seat are more than just policy differences. They are democracy, in my opinion."
The GOP is "diseased" and must be "cleansed?" Where have you heard such rhetoric before? It bears a shocking resemblance to the rhetoric of the Nazi Party.
Activists often make comparisons of their political enemies to Nazis, but in this case, this is not hyperbole.
