Ukraine’s Forces and Firepower Are Misallocated, U.S. Officials Say

Ukraine’s grinding counteroffensive is struggling to break through entrenched Russian defenses in large part because it has too many troops, including some of its best combat units, in the wrong places, American and other Western officials say.

The main goal of the counteroffensive is to cut off Russian supply lines in southern Ukraine by severing the so-called land bridge between Russia and the occupied Crimean Peninsula. But instead of focusing on that, Ukrainian commanders have divided troops and firepower roughly equally between the east and the south, the U.S. officials said.

Biden’s Twisted Idea of Empathy

The president’s responses to tragedies almost always involve butchering the truth to make them about him, rather than their victims.

For the living, the news of a death brings with it a peculiar mixture of the transcendent and the mundane. There is shock to absorb, anguish to process, and passion to assuage, and then, in the midst of all that, there is the bureaucracy. Within hours, one must turn one’s attention to the dull but necessary questions that all mourners face in such times. Questions such as: “Where can we get hold of the coroner?” “What should we do with the body?” And, “How swiftly can we get Joe Biden here to make this event about himself?”

The US biowarfare project which caused the Covid-19 debacle – Part 1

WHEN Dominic Cummings testified before Parliament in June 2021 and he was asked about the UK Covid Vaccine taskforce, he said: ‘What Bill Gates and people like that said to me and others at No 10 was, “You need to think of this much more like some of the classic programmes of the past – the Manhattan Project in World War Two or the Apollo programme – and build it all in parallel. In normal Government accounting terms, that is completely crazy, because if nothing works out you have spent literally billions building all these things up, and the end result is nothing – you get zero for it, it’s all waste.’

Climate Change Didn’t Cause the Maui Fires, Environmentalists Did

A new steel roof and minor plant growth thinning saved this wooden house.

Instead of preparing for wildfires, Hawaii was busy going “green.”

Politicians, the media and environmentalists spent the past week blaming the Maui fires on global warming.

“That level of destruction, and a fire hurricane, something new to us in this age of global warming, was the ultimate reason that so many people perished,” Hawaii Gov. Joshua Green claimed, while ignoring his state’s mismanagement of the disaster and its botched response at every level from the power grid that wasn’t secured to the sirens that didn’t go off.

How abduction panic became big business

Stranger danger has metastasised into something darker

Why did Phoebe Copas shoot her Uber driver? The 48-year-old got into a car driven by Daniel Piedra Garcia on June 16 thinking she was heading to El Paso in Texas. But when she saw a sign reading “Juárez, Mexico” — which lies on the other side of the border — she pulled a handgun from her bag and shot Piedra in the head. He died several days later. Copas later told the police she panicked when she thought she was being abducted.

No, Lucy Letby was not enabled by ‘whiteness’

Call me naive, but I really thought the identitarians would sit the Lucy Letby case out. Surely, all those commentators who make a good living by making absolutely everything about race would realise that plying their grift, using former nurse Letby’s murder of seven babies and attempted murder of six more as little more than a dramatic backdrop, would strike even their own audience as low. Sick even.

Welcome to Ireland, the ‘Woke’ Capital of Europe

‘Wokeness’ was created in the United States, then swiftly exported to the rest of the Western world. In Ireland, a country with close ancestral ties to the U.S., ‘wokeness’ now reigns supreme. In fact, it’s safe to say that Ireland is the official ‘woke’ capital of Europe.

If you doubt this, let me point you in the direction of the country’s new draft curriculum for 15- to 18-year-olds. As first reported by Gript, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), the Irish education ministry’s advisory council, has recommended the introduction of classes that center around white privilege, male privilege, gender identity, and sexual diversity.

Another racial hoax is slowly being exposed, this time in Canada

Justin Trudeau started and anti-Christian pogrom based on false claims of Aboriginal mass graves at Residential schools. Nearly 100 churches have been burned down. No graves have been found.

It was a terrible scandal: Ground penetrating radar proved that hundreds, maybe thousands, of Canadian indigenous children died…or, really, were cruelly killed…at Christian and government residential schools, and then had their bodies tossed into unmarked graves. Churches (of course) burned. Now, though, it’s becoming clear that those “graves” are not yielding up bodies.

The Poverty Ravaging Our Streets

Home Secretary Suella Braverman has told the Metropolitan Police to “hunt down and lock up” those responsible for the latest shop looting campaign in London’s Oxford Street.

One would think that such a strategy is obvious for police, given that to do so is surely their job? This would overlook the fact that the Home Office, and essentially the entire government, long ago became a poorly run PR campaign for politicians desperate to appear ‘tough’ in a bid to confront the least possible embarrassment in next year’s General Election.

Perhaps the Home Secretary has also forgotten that it is her job to ensure there are enough police and penalties on hand to stop such crimes from occurring in the first place? In a 2012 report, even The Guardian admitted that longer prison sentences really do cut crime.

Popular Leftist Talking Head Blames Muslim Opposition to Trans Madness on — Guess Who

On Friday, professional whiner and leftist grievance monger Wajahat Ali blamed the Muslim community’s rejection of the LGBTQ agenda not on Islam’s clear and unanimous theological opposition to homosexuality and the death penalty, but on none other than the Republican Party. Really, it’s so absurd and outlandish, why didn’t anyone think of it before?

Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberal inaction permitting China to colonize Canada

When will Prime Minister Justin Trudeau call a public inquiry into Chinese interference in Canadian elections? Answer: never, if he can help it. There is no upside in this exercise. It is like getting a root canal for a rotten tooth or fixing a leaky sewer system: a lot of pain, disruption, and expense for no visible improvement. Few see what lies beneath the surface, and most won’t appreciate it when it is fixed.

The Liberals broke the education visa system, but they had lots of help

 

Over the last two decades, the number of foreign students studying in Canada has increased almost sevenfold, to more than 800,000. The jump has been particularly sharp in recent years. At the end of 2022, there were nearly half a million more visa students than in 2015.

At first blush, this sounds like a success story: Canadian higher education must be so outstanding that record numbers from around the world are lining up to pay university and college tuitions several times higher than those for Canadian students.

I wonder which Liberal palms are being greased?
