“The Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) orchestrated the hacking of television channels in Crimea to broadcast a speech by President Volodymyr Zelensky on the evening of Nov. 29, multiple Ukrainian media outlets reported on Nov. 30.
Zelensky’s evening address from Oct. 24, during which he addressed “all our people in Crimea,” was broadcast on Russian channels in Crimea at around 9:30 p.m. local time on Nov. 29.
“All of you feel that the Russian presence on our land is not permanent. I know this. Ukraine will reclaim its territory and its people. We will not leave anyone to the occupiers.”
Ukraine will soon have fire control capabilities over Russian-occupied Crimea, Zelensky said.
Speeches by Ukraine’s chief commander, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, and HUR Chief Kyrylo Budanov were also broadcast before the screen turned black.
Some locals then reported on social media that the names of all television channels had been replaced with a popular obscenity that uses Putin’s name.
A spokesperson of the Russian-installed proxy authorities in Crimea also said that some Crimean internet providers had also been hacked.
Ukrainian media outlets Suspilne and Ukrainska Pravda said that the television hack was part of a long-term operation against the Russian occupation of Crimea, citing unnamed sources in intelligence.”

“and rationalizing Trump celebrating being endorsed by BLM”
Trump wasn’t endorsed by BLM. He was endorsed by a BLM activist.
Here is what BLM actually said about it
” The national Black Lives Matter organization on Thursday dismissed as an “imposter” an activist who identified himself as a leader of the movement in Rhode Island and declared he was backing Donald Trump for president.
“This is a publicity stunt,” Black Lives Matter and Black Lives Matter Rhode Island PAC said in a joint statement to CNN. “The right-wing continues to use and amplify fringe Black voices to create an idea of broad support for their corrupt candidates.”

“Gavin Newsom was citing Donald Trump favorably to attack me from the left. He was citing Nikki Haley favorably to attack me from the left. If they feared either of those candidates, they would never say a good word about them. I think you see that I’m the one that they don’t want to have to deal with—partially because they know I’ll win—but I think it’s much more than that. They know that I’m a threat to their power, and that’s what they really, really fear.

This is wild…
NBC News reporting that Newsom’s wife was angry and stepped in to stop the debate last night:
“What the audience didn’t see — and what at least five sources shared with NBC News — is that off-screen, there were significant disagreements happening. The DeSantis and Newsom teams were both arguing that the other side was breaking the rules that were agreed upon in advance — particularly keeping distance between the candidates and their guests.
According to four sources in the DeSantis camp — one who witnessed the moment in the room and three others who were standing backstage (where there was no press or live studio audience) — Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, came into the debate room on at least two occasions to raise some objections.
She also made her way to the stage during the break after the candidates agreed to extend the debate and put an end to it.
A fifth source on the ground, unaffiliated with either campaign, confirmed that Siebel Newsom ended the debate on her husband’s behalf, saying, “We’re done.”
“Gavin Newsom got beat so badly last night his wife literally had to throw in the towel for him. It was embarrassing,” DeSantis spokesman Andrew Romeo said.
Apparently, when Gavin’s wife ran in the room, DeSantis’ wife, Casey, did too, I’m guessing to have her man’s back! The Newsom camp also accused DeSantis of cheating, and they were debunked on that as well.

This is the appropriate response to:

Quote: “I believe that the leadership of our special military operation (war against Ukraine – ed.) knows what goals it is pursuing. Control over this operation is carried out permanently by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
And we see no reason why our goals (of the war – ed.) should be reconsidered.”
Since it is clear Russia’s intent is to annex Ukraine, the response from NATO, the US and the West is to fund Ukraine by any means necessary to defeat them.

I totally agree. The GOP as a whole has no clear vision, governing conviction, unifying message, or serious agenda. The Woke Commie Dems and Vichy GOP is destroying our country right before our eyes. There has always been corruption in politics… however never to this degree…the enforcers of the rule of law…the FBI and DOJ have been politicized and are the lawless ones and there is no justice or consequence.
