“Local” news reporters are among the most contemptible; almost all “local” news stations are owned by large conglomerates like Cumulus, Townsquare, iHeart, or are “affiliates” of national networks. They posture as “local” but mostly all report the same nationally-curated crap. If you’ve ever lived in a “red” programming market, you’ll know that any station owned by these companies basically acts as a subversive force on the local culture.

At the behest of AIPAC, Rashida Tlaib was censured by House Republicans for being upset like any human being would be that Israel’s army is allowed to exterminate her people. Since Mike Johnson became House Speaker in October, House Republicans have voted to Stand With Israel no matter what the cost, to send $14.3 billion dollars to Israel, fight anti-Semitism on college campuses and authorize a war with Iran to stop it from acquiring WMD. Rep. Brian Mast, a Republican from Florida, even showed up to work in Congress wearing an IDF uniform. In the House GOP, it has been...

People will be puzzled about this operation in the future, it’s literally the most idiotic attempt ever made in recent military history, and probably one of worst defeats in modern military history. Ukrainians, with every single factor stacked against them, tried to quickly breach a 20-30 km deep defensive belt, mostly because Western supporters of theirs deluded themselves for months how Russia is on the ropes and how Russian ”mobiks” (even though 90% of Ukrainian army are mobilized people by now) will just drop weapons and run, to be crushed under the threads of superior Western tanks. Even when hit...

The image below is a screenshot from the website of the Council of Ministers (www.governo.it/it/articolo/comunicato-stampa-del-consiglio-dei-ministri-n-42/23077). Meloni’s cabinet website. The Meloni government is going to allow 452,000 new legal immigrants into Italy over the next three years. And they would like 833,000, but legislation does not (yet) exist to authorize that. The website is sure to mention that Meloni herself signed the decree and wishes to “promote legal immigration” to Italy. The web page also mentions that a further 40,000 seasonal workers will be admitted each year. These ‘seasonal’ workers never leave and quickly become members of Italy’s 700,000 illegal immigrants...

We absolutely do need to expand our horizons of what could happen in 2024. Never forget how the liberal establishment used George Floyd as an excuse to unleash their minions in the 2020 election and create so much chaos that exhausted moderate voters would swing toward Joe Biden. They actually war gamed a scenario where the West Coast states would threaten to secede to stop Trump from being sworn in as president in 2021. It never happened, but these people were prepared for it. If Trump had eeked out a close victory in the 2020 election, the Democrats would have...

If you were following the news last week, you’re probably aware of the Russian spy-plane that got shot-down during an illegal Israeli attack on Syrian targets. To make a long story short, Israel jet-fighters attacked military targets in Syria, and a Russian surveillance aircraft was caught in the middle, as the Israelis failed to warn the Russians about the impending attack in a timely fashion, hence the Russian surveillance aircraft was hit and downed by Syria’s outdated missile systems, being caught between a rock and a hard place so to speak (in the crossfire basically). Until now, the Syrian army...

According to the French newspaper The Local, the leader of the French“Resistance”, which is described by the mainstream media to be a “far right” politician (like anyone to the right of Karl Marx), and yes, we’re talking about Marine Le Pen here, is going to be examined by a psychiatrist, after a court ruled that it must be determined whether the “far-right” politician “is capable of understanding remarks and answering questions”. Le Pen received the news with shock and anger, obviously. In case you don’t know who Le Pen is, well, she’s the leader of the anti EU National Front...

There’s a major war brewing in the Middle East between Iran and Israel. It is now getting nasty and ugly, and for the first time, Iranian rockets hit Israel mainland targets. After President Trump decided to withdraw the US from the Iran nuclear deal, within hours of his decision, Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu, fearing a massive buildup of Iranian forces that have been taking place in Syria over the last several months, began to “retaliate” (read attack them on sovereign Syrian territory) via massive missile and air-strikes, pounding positions held by Iranian soldiers (Iran has a mutual defense treaty with...

WASHINGTON - Teresa Heinz Kerry, an ardent and often outspoken environmentalist, yesterday refused to wade into the controversy over a proposed Nantucket Sound wind farm - a potential land mine for her husband's presidential campaign. ``Because it's such a touchy issue and a Massachusetts issue, she's waiting,'' said her spokeswoman, Chris Black. ``On Massachusetts issues, her feeling is that you should ask (Sen. John F. Kerry). She has not taken a formal position on the wind farm.'' Heinz Kerry's reluctance to take a stand comes as her husband, the Massachusetts Democrat, faces criticism from environmentalists, including Greenpeace, for not backing...

Three months before CNN political analyst Bill Schneider praised Senator John Kerry’s “intelligence,” Washington-based CNN political reporter Chris Black joined the effort to elect Kerry President by becoming Communications Director for the Heinz Foundation headed by Kerry’s wife, Teresa, the widow of the late Pennsylvania Senator John Heinz.     Black was hired to “rein in Teresa” after an embarrassing, very un-First Lady-like interview with the Washington Post, the New York Daily News reported in August. (This item has been in my pending file for awhile and today I finally found a hook for it.)     George Rush and Joanna Molloy reported in...
