‘Propaganda lie’: Tucker Carlson unloads on Jan. 6 hearing

Fox News host Tucker Carlson tore into the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot for dredging up the past while the United States has “never in its history been closer to a nuclear war.”

“In the 18 months since January 6, gas prices have doubled, drug [overdoses] have reached their highest point ever, U.S. economy is now [heading for a] devastating recession,” he told his listeners during his opening monologue Thursday. “And scariest and least noted of all, this country has never in its history been closer to a nuclear war. Yet the other networks couldn’t be bothered to cover any of that tonight.”

DND says removal of HMCS Halifax commander is not about ‘any sexual misconduct’ for a change

DND removes HMCS Halifax commander, says it is not about ‘any sexual misconduct’

The commanding officer of a navy frigate currently conducting operations for NATO has been removed from his command.

But the Canadian Forces has invoked a high level of secrecy about what was behind the removal of the commanding officer of HMCS Halifax. It is refusing to even name the individual.

I bet he mis-pronouned someone!

We’re almost out of ammunition and relying on western arms, says Ukraine as Putin compares himself to Peter the Great

Ukraine’s deputy head of military intelligence has said Ukraine is losing against Russia on the frontlines and is now almost solely reliant on weapons from the west to keep Russia at bay.

“This is an artillery war now,” said Vadym Skibitsky, deputy head of Ukraine’s military intelligence. The frontlines were now where the future would be decided, he told the Guardian, “and we are losing in terms of artillery”.

Putin compares himself to Peter the Great in quest to take back Russian lands

Vladimir Putin has compared himself to the 18th-century Russian tsar Peter the Great, drawing a parallel between what he portrayed as their twin historic quests to win back Russian lands.

“Peter the Great waged the great northern war for 21 years. It would seem that he was at war with Sweden, he took something from them. He did not take anything from them, he returned [what was Russia’s],” the Russian president said on Thursday after a visiting an exhibition dedicated to the tsar.

Putin: West unlikely to reject Russian energy for years

Russian President Vladimir Putin says the West will not be able to cut itself off from Russian oil and gas for several years.

He added that nobody knows what might happen in that time, so Russian companies would not be “concreting over their oil-wells”.

It comes as a US official admitted that Russian profits on energy may be higher now than they were before the war.

Uvalde police chief defends slow police response during shooting – says they couldn’t find key to classroom door … no really he said that

A hard-to-find key to a locked classroom door was the ultimate reason police waited 77 minutes to enter a Robb Elementary classroom to kill a gunman, stopping the massacre that claimed the lives of 19 students and two teachers, the under-fire police chief said.

Uvalde school district police Chief Pete Arredondo, who was in charge during the May 24 mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, offered up the explanation in a new interview with the Texas Tribune where he defended law enforcement’s delayed response in taking down 18-year-old shooter Salvador Ramos.

Uvalde has a SWAT Team were they never taught how to batter a door down?

Brown says he won’t run for the Conservatives if Poilievre wins the leadership

Brampton, Ont. Mayor Patrick Brown said Thursday he won’t run for the federal Conservatives if his main rival for the leadership, Pierre Poilievre, wins the party’s top job in the September leadership election.

In an interview with CBC’s Power & Politics, Brown said he’s confident he can win the leadership but, if he falls short, he’d also consider running under the party banner in the next election if former Quebec premier Jean Charest or MP Leslyn Lewis wins the leadership.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Poll: Americans Know Guns Are Not The Problem, Our Culture Is

A new USA Today/Ipsos poll administered to 1,117 respondents this past weekend reported that half of Republicans “support stricter gun laws.”

Those numbers seem to indicate that a large chunk of Republicans strongly support Democrats’ anti-gun agenda and could be used as political leverage to convince wavering Republicans in Congress to rethink their historical backing of Second Amendment rights. And that’s exactly what USA Today not-so-subtly tried to do in its recent article “Half of Republicans support stricter gun laws, a double-digit jump in a year.”

“The increase in GOP support — from 35% last year to 50% — could boost the prospects for Congress to tighten federal gun laws, an effort that has failed for decades,” the article argued.

How George Soros’ billions are remaking America’s justice system

How much exactly does “social justice” cost?

Liberal billionaire George Soros spent at least $40 million over the last decade to answer that question, according to our latest research. Those millions helped elect scores of progressive prosecutors bent on remaking the criminal justice system to Soros’ liking.

It’s not to Americans’ liking, as San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin’s recall Tuesday shows. Soros didn’t fund Boudin directly, but he donated to an anti-recall PAC. And Boudin is the first face on the “Meet the Movement” page of the Soros-funded Fair and Just Prosecution, whose conferences he’s attended.

The Soviet origins of left-wing anti-Zionism

Today’s haters of Israel are heirs to one of the longest and most effective anti-Semitic propaganda campaigns in modern history.

(JNS) Kennan Institute scholar Izabella Tabarovsky wrote in a 2019 essay for Fathom that the Soviet Union’s campaign against Zionism and Jews “succeeded at emptying Zionism of its meaning as a national liberation movement of the Jewish people and associating it instead with racism, fascism, Nazism, genocide, imperialism, colonialism, militarism and apartheid.” Not surprisingly, students on college and university campuses across the United States often hear similar if not identical rhetoric from anti-Zionist groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Solidary for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP).

The Soviets’ decades-long anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist campaign was multi-faceted and not limited to statements from the Soviet government itself. Anywhere that Communist cells were active, on any radio broadcast controlled by Moscow, in any printing house receiving instructions from the Kremlin, the demonization of Zionism featured prominently and was always related to specific current events in order to keep the embers of the world’s oldest hatred aglow.

Nasa boss: I believe ET is real

Bill Nelson says that intelligent alien life, and not the fictional character, is likely because the universe is so large

Intelligent alien life is likely because the universe is so big, the head of Nasa has said.

Bill Nelson, the former space shuttle astronaut and US senator, said that the James Webb Telescope, which launched last Christmas, could help detect worlds where life could thrive.

Speaking at the Financial Times Investing in Space Conference on Wednesday, Mr Nelson was asked whether he believed in intelligent extraterrestrial life.

“The short answer is yes,” he said. “That would be a page one story, wouldn’t it?

Joy Behar Ridiculed For Saying “Once Black People Get Guns in this Country, the Gun Laws Will Change”

The View host Joy Behar faced ridicule for claiming on her show, “Once black people get guns in this country, the gun laws will change.”

Behar made the comments on the same day that House Democrats passed a sweeping gun control bill that would raise the age at which semi-automatics can be purchased from 18-21, although the legislation is almost certain to fail.

Stupid must be the reason she is on the show.

Why didn’t Angela Merkel listen to Donald Trump?

He warned the former Chancellor about the dangers of Russian oil dependence

In her first public appearance since leaving office, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel defended Berlin’s Russia policy during her 16-year tenure and expressed confidence in her successor, Olaf Scholz.

Judging by the newspaper headlines following her statements, there apparently was an expectation that she would apologise and take some responsibility for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, due to her policy of close economic and political cooperation with Moscow.

Twitter caves to Musk, will give up user data

Elon Musk’s effort to purchase Twitter, assuming he still actually wants to do it, ran into a serious snag in the past couple of weeks. Musk insisted that Twitter turn over all of it’s user data to him so he could verify how many “real” users they have and how many accounts are spam bots. A failure to do so would, according to Musk and his attorneys, constitute a breach of the merger agreement they had previously reached.

Ukraine’s soldiers face 200 daily casualties with desertion on the rise

Cases of desertion are growing every week in the Ukrainian army, according to a leaked intelligence report, as up to 200 of its outgunned soldiers are being killed every day in the eastern Donbas region.

Kyiv’s troops are outnumbered 20 to one in artillery and 40 to one in ammunition by the Kremlin’s forces in the area, the leaked Ukrainian intelligence report reveals.

Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior aide to the Ukrainian president, on Thursday said the battle over the war-town country’s industrial heartlands was so intense that Kyiv is suffering up to 200 military casualties per day. The previous upper limit was given as 100 soldiers.
