    The stupidity award is all yours Jason for being all in on a questionable war being run by an innately corrupt government at the expense of ignoring our own self defense and national security. If only you were as sympathetic and aware of our own country’s neglected needs as you are of Ukraine’s. Sometime look at the NYT’s story regarding Ukraine’s dark side of their history and government (called the dark basement of globalism by many), as well as the Human Events site. Even Reuters is talking about Ukraine’s Nazi problem. Take the blinders off and stop using Putin as your convenient crutch to slime any dissident POV from your own. I guess you also must favor Ukraine targeting U.S. citizens for assassination because of their resistance to a give-more-to-Ukraine narrative, as well as sending unwilling Ukrainians to the front lines to be slaughtered.

Trump’s former aide Molly Michael told federal investigators, per ABC, that the former president used the back of visibly classified documents at Mar-a-Lago to write her to-do lists “as if they were scrap paper,” Michael is one of Trump’s long-time assistants, having begun to work with him in 2018 and continuing after the former president left the White House office in early 2021. She reportedly quit last year only after Trump refused to comply with federal requests. Michael also said that, when she told Trump that federal investigators were looking for boxes of sensitive documents, the former president replied: “You know nothing about the boxes.”

    Many may not be aware, but in the dark corners of the web, there’s a “kill list” that’s overseen by a radical Ukrainian group and it’s quite extensive.

    The list is teeming with names of people who have fallen out of favor with Ukraine sympathizers and the Ukrainian government. These folks find themselves on this list either for their direct opposition to Ukraine or their perceived lack of support for the nation. The entries range from people suspected to be associated with the Wagner private military company, to journalists accused of spreading Russian propaganda. The website has faced tremendous international condemnation, but it continues to exist, completely untouched by the Ukrainian government, who claim it’s not a “kill list,” but rather laughingly describes it as a place to log “information” for law enforcement and special services. Meanwhile, dirty deeds that can land you on the list range from something as harmless as a questionable social media post, to being a family member of a high-ranking Russian officials or sympathizers. It doesn’t take much or sometimes it takes quite a lot to find yourself on this list. What’s truly concerning, however, is that some individuals who have appeared on this list have ended up assassinated, with one notable case being that of Russian political commentator Alexander Dugin’s daughter.

    The ISW identified a number of Russian front-line units, including the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division, that regularly fought Ukrainian troops during the earlier stages of the counteroffensive.

    Following recent Ukrainian advances, these units appear to have withdrawn.

    “The absence of recent reports and footage of these elements participating in combat engagements in western Zaporizhia Oblast suggests that casualties sustained during the first phases of the Ukrainian counteroffensive rendered them combat ineffective,” the ISW said.”

    russia’s labour and social development ministry has ordered 259,493 death certificates since the all-out war’s start, according to tender documents discovered by independent russia media Verstka
    The discrepancy with Ukraine’s higher figure can be accounted for by the fact that until June, russia only provided death certificates to families of deceased regular army personnel
    About 20,000 Wagner mercenaries are thought to have been killed in the war – virtually all in fighting before June
    “The numbers may indirectly indicate the approximate scale of the russian group participating in the battles and losses,” Verstka reports
    The same ministry also ordered over 936,000 combat veteran certificates – a figure that coincides with Ukrainian and other figures for the number of starting and newly recruited troops russia has deployed to Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022
    An amalgam of Ukrainian, Western and independent russian data suggests…
    About 2.4 russian troops are wounded for each soldier killed in the war (a rate much lower, for example, than the U.S. WWII wounded-to-killed rate of 4-to-1 – owing to poor russian combat medicine)
    60% of russian wounded – or about

  56. Good article in one of the local newspapers in the last week or so.
    It is written by Laura Hollis, a syndicated columnist.

    It is about journalists–any of whom today see themselves as social warriors out to right all the wrongs of society. But is so doing, they push narratives held in their own minds vs. pushing/printing reality and truth. And if in their job they find realities or truth that fly in the face of the “narrative” to which they hold fast, then they color, ignore or even hide those truths from their readers.

    Eamples she cites:
    BLM–the narrative is the false flag of “white supremacy and institutional racism”
    Yet the truths are that more homicides are committed by Blacks than committed by whites. And most of the victims of Blacks who commit homicides are also Black. But this fact flies in the face of their ‘narrative’ so they do not report that. Nor do they report that the Black Lives Matter people makes no effort to take on the Black on Black violence.

    Homelessness–the narrative is that involuntary commitments for mentally ill people is not compassionate” and that poverty can be overcome with higher taxation and income redistribution. Despite facts showing that none of this “cures” homelessness.
    As to the drug addiction component to homelessness–the narrative is that drug abuse can be contained by legalizing some currently illegal drugs, decriminalize drug use, offer safe government subsidized injection zones for some illegal drugs. Despite the facts and truth showing this does not work to reduce homelessness.

    Criminal/Jail/Prison reform–the narrative is that if you reduce the penalties for shoplifting, have no bail for ‘victimless crimes like shoplifting, never make it a felony for people who shoplift multiple times, then you reduce the number of people in jail and prisons and you will reduce prison and jail costs. Plus, the minorities get arrested more for shoplifting, so therefore it is a racist law that needs to be done away with since it disproportionately affects minorities. 
    The truth and realities show the narrative to be false, and journalists never show the societal costs of doing things that sorta make shoplifting no longer a crime–business losses, closings, higher insurance rates for everyone, etc.

    Open Southern Border–the false narrative is all about it is the “compassionate thing to do” and it is “combatting racism”. The truth about increased crime, drug smuggling, sex trafficking of women and children, terrorism threat, health issues threat, cost to the taxpayers to house, feed, educate, etc. all the illegal aliens, etc. is ignored or hidden, or “colored’ by the journalists because it blows up their false narrative.

Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy, a worthless turd who’s pretending to be anti-Ukraine to appease MTG, was calling Trump an agent of Putin on a secret recording only to go graveling hat-in-hand to conman Donnie’s home in March 2021 after the he’d been impeached a second time.

Isolationism results in economic stagnation — just ask Herbert Hoover. Prosperity in the U.S. is based on international trade and active involvement in world affairs. The world economy is connected; and helping defeat rogue bullies like Putin actually will result in a stronger U.S. economy then letting Putin conquer Ukraine and other Eastern European countries. Peace and economic prosperity arise through strength — Reagan had an aggressive foreign policy and he also had a booming economy. By contrast the timid Jimmy Carter had one of the most disastrous presidency.
