"Stupidity": Russian bloggers shocked
by fiasco on Donets River

Ed mentioned the rout on the river near Bilohorivka in a post last week but you can’t appreciate the magnitude of it until you see it. The Russian army was attempting to cross the river on pontoon bridges, crowding dozens of armored vehicles manned by hundreds of troops near the riverbank in anticipation. The Ukrainians attacked, destroying the pontoons and leaving the Russians trapped. The result was a turkey shoot unlike any seen in war in many years. The Institute for the Study of War estimates that some 550 Russians from 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade were involved in the operation and that close to 500 of them were killed or wounded.

One of the most frustrating aspects of the Biden administration — and Lord knows there are a lot of things that infuriate people about them — is the way the U.S. went from a net energy exporter to record high gas prices and a reliance on oil imported from other countries.
The administration knows exactly what it’s doing. The White House has acquiesced to the environmental lobby, and the end game is a push for “green energy” that’s both infeasible and expensive, at least right now. But that hasn’t stopped the drive to punish Americans who haven’t followed the administration’s flippant advice to buy an expensive electric vehicle.
In the meantime,
Netflix is seeing a sharp rise in the number of long-term customers cancelling their subscriptions, signaling a new threat to the left-wing streamer’s financial stability, according to a new study.
Consumers who had been Netflix subscribers for more than three years accounted for just 5 percent of total cancelations at the start of 2022, but that figure jumped to 13 percent in the first quarter of 2022. Also in the first quarter, total cancellations spiked to 3.6 million people, compared with around 2.5 million in the previous five quarters.
The results are from a study conducted by the research firm Antenna and provided to the tech news site The Information
Entrepreneur and business magnate Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said the "obvious reason" for inflation in the United States is that the federal government printed way too much money that it did not have to stimulate the economy, which increased demand but supply (goods and services) could not keep up -- thus, the prices went up. Speaking at the All-In Summit by video on Monday, Musk said, "The obvious reason for inflation is that the government printed a zillion amount of more money than it had, obviously."
"So, it's like the government can't just, you know, issue checks far in excess of revenue without there being inflation
On Tuesday, I reported how Elon Musk had given an interview to a tech podcast and said that he would be voting Republican, perhaps for the first time.
He also said that Twitter has a “very far-left bias” and that he viewed his effort to buy Twitter as a “moderate” take-over to stop that bias. But he didn’t leave it there. He decided to go all-in and throw caution to the wind on Wednesday. Not only did he say that he confirm that yes he would be voting Republican, he ripped them as the party of “division and hate.” “In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly)
Is there hope for freedom of speech in America after all, despite all of the Left’s efforts to destroy it? Maybe: the Washington Post announced Wednesday that “just three weeks after its announcement, the Disinformation Governance Board is being ‘paused,’ according to multiple employees at DHS, capping a back-and-forth week of decisions that changed during the course of reporting of this story.”
The Post’s notorious Taylor Lorenz, whom PJM’s Stephen Green referred to as a “garbage human” who “still talks and whines like an underage Mean Girl when she isn’t busy ruining people’s lives for fun and profit,” reported the apparent demise of the Board in a funereal tone
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced a strict series of gun control regulations, days after a racially motivated shooting in Buffalo that killed ten people.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Hochul said that she would sign several executive orders to restrict access to firearms and monitor “online extremism.”
These include a measure authorizing the New York State Police to seize weapons from any gun owner “whenever they have probable cause to believe that an individual is a threat to themselves or others.” She did not give further details about the proposal, and the text of the order, yet to be signed, has not been released.
The Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary race appears to be headed to a recount as Trump-endorsed celebrity surgeon Mehmet Oz led hedge-fund executive Dave McCormick by roughly 2,000 votes early Wednesday morning, well under the half-percentage-point required to trigger a recount in statewide elections.
In the final stretch of vote tabulation, McCormick had garnered a small edge over Oz until that flipped late Tuesday night. As of Wednesday morning, each candidate had won around 31 percent of the vote with roughly 95 percent of votes counted.
Project Veritas dropped a video from a senior Twitter engineer on Monday that was damning — showing bias and censorship on the platform. The engineer, Siru Murugesan, said that the employees were “super left, left, left, left, left,” “Commie as f**k,” and admitted that they were censoring the right more than the left.
However, that wasn’t the only video that they dropped. They released another one capturing a Twitter executive, Alex Martinez — who they identify as a “lead client partner” — saying that they believe in something that’s “good for the planet” and not just to “give people free speech.”
The pivotal Nordic countries of Finland and Sweden formally applied to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Wednesday, amid Russia's continuing invasion of Ukraine.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters that the treaty organization had formally accepted the applications, which have been in development over the past week.
"I warmly welcome the requests by Finland and Sweden to join NATO. You are our closest partners," Stoltenberg told reporters after a receiving their application letters from the two Nordic countries’ ambassadors.
The former head of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has been charged with lying to a mortgage lender in a growing Orange County political corruption scandal, federal authorities announced Tuesday.
In a criminal complaint, the FBI accused the chamber’s former president and chief executive Todd Ament of plotting with an unnamed political consultant to funnel chamber money into Ament’s personal bank accounts by laundering it through the consultant’s public relations firm.
The money was used to influence a bank’s decision to lend Ament more than $1.1 million to buy a sprawling $1.5-million home in Big Bear, the complaint says.

I’m so old I can remember Bill Clinton blaming the 1995 Oklahoma bombing on Rush Limbaugh. Heck, I’m so old I can recall MSNBC and the rest of the leftist hive mind blaming the 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords on Sarah Palin, when 30 seconds of observation showed clearly the shooter was severely mentally ill. Oh, wait—you don’t need to be old for that: the New York Times repeated that outrageous slur in an editorial just four years ago—now the subject of a much-deserved libel suit from Palin.
Actually this is the left’s oldest playbook, and it hasn’t gotten any less stale than it was
Just like voters did in 2008 and 2016, Hulu has taken a hard pass on Hillary Clinton.
The Disney-owned Hulu has axed its planned dramatic series about Hillary Clinton — simply titled Rodham — after nearly two years in development, according to a report from Variety. 20th Television, which is producing the series, is reportedly shopping the project to other streamers, with stars Claire Danes and Dakota Fanning expected to play Clinton at different stages of her life. omes as a surprise since the streamer is the home of the four-part documentary Hillary (2020), which features a lengthy sit-down interview

For the last couple of weeks, my parish has had a woman speak after the mass ended pleading for support for a crisis pregnancy center. I recognized the speaker as the head of a pro-life local group that I had once joined years ago.
My first involvement was a peaceful protest in front of Rep. Susan Molinari's district office and her voting record did not sit well with this woman. When I heard her yell through a mega phone that G od would punish Molinari for supporting abortion, that ended my connection with this group.
Let me be very clear, I am forever pro-life.
Netflix is cutting about 150 jobs after announcing that it's lost 200,000 subscribers since the end of last year. Most of the employees being laid off are based in the US and work in creative positions across film and TV. The California-based streaming service is even eliminating some executive positions in its original content departments, sources told Deadline.

Ezra Miller admonished a police officer for calling them 'sir' and explained they identified as 'transgender non-binary' during their arrest in Hawaii back in March.
In newly-released body cam footage from the arrest obtained by TMZ, Miller warned the officer that failing to refer to them by their proper pronouns again would be an 'intentional act of bigotry' and a technical 'hate crime.'
Miller, 29, who uses they/them pronouns and came out as queer in 2012, and said in a 2018 interview with The Hollywood Reporter: 'Queer just means no, I don't do that. I don't identify as a man. I don't identify as a woman.

The company at the center of a baby formula crisis could face criminal charges, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday, as Democrats considered new government controls over the baby formula industry. “I think there might be a need for indictment,” said Mrs. Pelosi, who has realigned the House agenda to address a baby formula shortage. Democrats are also considering legislation that would give the federal government more control over the supply and distribution of formula, particularly when shortages arise. The plan would require formula companies to report inventory to the Food and Drug Administration, which could then move supplies from one state to another to fill empty shelves.

Twitter is not in business to make a profit or to give people free speech, but to do “something that’s good for the planet,” a company employee can be heard saying in a secretly recorded video.
The new undercover footage from Project Veritas features Lead Client Partner Alex Martinez discussing the company’s authoritarian views on speech, and denigrating Tesla CEO Elon Musk as a “loony toon” with “special needs.” (snip) “Right now, we don’t make profit,” he noted, explaining that the company’s liberal ideology “led us into not being profitable.”
A Washington Post op-ed from Brian Boome claims the Supreme Court and the pro-life movement as a whole want to eliminate abortion to “protect whiteness.”Reflecting on the horrible supermarket shooting in Buffalo, where a professed white supremacist allegedly murdered 10 people and wounded three others – 11 of the victims were black – Boome repeated the Democrat Party talking points that Fox News host Tucker Carlson was to blame for allegedly spreading the “white replacement theory.”According to Boome, belief in this conspiracy theory has fueled the pro-life movement to protect white babies, event though the data shows black babies are being aborted at a disproportionate rate.
