In Kherson, battle-hardened troops are prepared for the worst
The entrance to Kherson is littered with ruined market stalls that the Russians burned when they occupied the city. Inside, the centre is deserted. Cafes are shut; restaurants are boarded up. On a municipal building in Freedom Square hangs a huge McDonald’s poster, sodden with rain.
Auburn’s Black Student Union recently circulated a list of racial slurs for white people. Campus Reform reports that some of the popular ones include:
Someone must dislike Blacks a great deal to have gone to so much trouble.
UPDATE: They are warning everyone to run hide or fight yet refuse to identify the shooter, I wonder why? …. Police are on scene and students told to shelter in place: MSU said they believe it is a lone gunman, described as ‘a short male with a mask, possibly black’
Update 2 – They finally describe him.

Samantha Power, head administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), arrived in Budapest last week with one mission – to save Central European nations from themselves. Her main target was Hungary.
According to a press release issued by USAID to accompany her trip to the Hungarian capital, Power wants ‘to help support democracy in Central Europe’. And she wants ‘independent media to thrive and build new audiences’. ‘[A] free and diverse press is a cornerstone of democracy’, she tweeted, ‘and in Hungary, independent journalists are facing real challenges’.
Pet dogs are getting stoned after eating cannabis discarded on the streets of New York, according to veterinarians.
Vets in the city are reporting a surge in cases of confused canines in their surgeries since recreational cannabis was legalised in 2021, The New York Times reported.
In many cases, the cannabis is in the form of the remnants of joints. But dogs can also be affected by second-hand smoke or by munching gummies and marijuana-laced chocolate
Federal government staff were prepared for reporters to find out about the exorbitant hotel bill, including a more than $6,000-a-night suite, that politicians and government staff incurred while in London for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
Internal documents show Global Affairs Canada (GAC) staff discussing weeks after the funeral how to avoid the embarrassment happening again with the coronation of King Charles.
The Canadian labour market added 150k jobs in Jan. – 10 times economists estimates, says @SteveSaretsky
And most commentators (@PNPcbc) still miss the point. Saretsky and @BenRabidoux get it, however.
They note the vast majority of jobs went to guest workers. #cdnecon #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/Ky2dMW1QRa— DouglasTodd (@DouglasTodd) February 13, 2023
There appears to be “some sort of pattern” emerging given that three additional aerial objects have been shot down over American and Canadian airspace since initial reports of a suspected Chinese spy balloon surfaced nearly two weeks ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

… A century or so later, in 2003, a journalist for the Times called Andrew Norfolk became aware of strange and disturbing rumours from Yorkshire. Originally reported by Labour MP Anne Cryer, they involved groups of mostly Pakistani men loitering around schools in Rotherham and sexually abusing girls, some as young as 13. There were supposedly whole gangs of men involved and the number of victims stood in the hundreds. Norfolk found it implausible; it sounded like a far-Right conspiracy.
Yet, as the Times journalist soon began to realise, this story was true. In fact, it was much bigger than anyone could really conceive, and it wasn’t just Rotherham, either; similar things were happening across the north of England and beyond. There were thousands of girls involved.
A spy inside the British embassy was snared betraying his country by an undercover MI5 operation involving an agent posing as a Russian intelligence officer called Irina, a court has heard.
David Smith, 58, was a security guard in the British embassy in Berlin who hated the UK and kept a cartoon of Vladimir Putin holding Angela Merkel’s severed head in his work locker.
As far back as 2018, the ex-Royal Air Force officer began gathering sensitive information about British interests and is alleged to have given them to Russia in exchange for money.
The great columnist and writer George Schuyler blew the whistle on communism very early on.
Each Black History Month seems to focus less on black Americans who made good, and more on the followers of Karl Marx.
The forefather of this tradition is W.E.B. Du Bois, who in his late years joined the Communist Party USA, renounced his American citizenship, and moved to Ghana, a guest of Marxist dictator Kwame Nkrumah, a development promoted by the National Endowment for the Humanities educational site.
By restricting private health care choices, the NHS and other beloved single-payer systems were doomed from the start.
In summer 2012, about 27 million Britons tuned in to the London Olympics’ opening ceremony, dreamed up by the Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle. Central to the show was an homage to the National Health Service (NHS), the United Kingdom’s single-payer health care system, that featured hundreds of volunteer nurses dancing around bedridden children. Transcending political affiliation, support for the NHS may be the strongest uniting force in the United Kingdom. As the Conservative Party politician Nigel Lawson put it in a thinly veiled shot at the Church of England, the NHS is “the closest thing the British have to a religion.”

Is Chinese spying a national security threat to the US? Small potatoes, compared to the national security threat posed by Donald Trump! If you believe Michael Cohen, that is.
