Ukraine has struck Russian naval targets and port infrastructure in the Crimean city of Sevastopol, in what appeared to be the biggest attack of the war on the home of the Russian navy’s Black Sea fleet. A Ukrainian intelligence official said a large vessel and a submarine struck in the attack were so badly damaged as to be likely beyond repair. The pre-dawn strike highlighted Kyiv’s growing missile capabilities as Russia continues to bombard Ukraine from afar with long-range missiles and assault drones. “We confirm a large landing vessel and submarine were hit. We do not comment on the means [used] for the strike,”

"All out war"?? Who? Russia and Ukraine have been at 'all out war for 18 months already. I'm amazed at the apparent freak out by some. When we were actually sending millions of troops to Korea, directly fighting Russian pilots and Chinese troops, was there this fear? And when we were sending millions of our own troops into Vietnam for many years, did anyone think we were going to get into a war with Russia or China? I never heard anyone express fear of that. We in the USA are at war with no one, none of our troops are fighting, none are dying. Just like in 1939 and 1940, when we supplied a lot of ships, bombs, aircraft, and dozens of other kinds of weapons to the British, we are not combatants, but we are providing weapons to Ukraine. And we GAVE most of the weapons to Britain, technically "Lend-Lease" but we never collected on the lease part, and forgave all the debts at the end of the war. They did buy a lot of stuff at first, then Lend-Lease. And we gave the Brits brand new stuff. All the vehicles we are giving to Ukraine are decades old, pulled from warehouses, thirty year old stuff we'll never use again.

Replacing a ship is a lot harder than a tank or a plane, if the attack is as it says this is a a loss for the Russian Navy. I trust Reuters as much as the AP or the Washington comPost.

A year and a half into a war that Russia was supposed to win in 72-96 hours, with the planet’s 2nd ranked military power against the 20th ranked military power. And somehow, the world will come to an end of Russia takes any hits? The Russian invasion has turned into an even bigger cluster than the US evacuation of Afghanistan.

UAW launches strike against Big 3 automakers 9 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 9/15/2023 12:46:25 AM Post Reply
A union representing nearly 150,000 autoworkers launched a strike early Friday morning against the Big 3 U.S. automakers -- General Motors, Ford and Stellantis. The United Auto Workers, or UAW, and the car manufacturers failed to reach a contract agreement before a deadline set by the union for Thursday at 11:59 p.m. ET. Less than two hours before the deadline, UAW president Shawn Fain announced the plants where union members would strike if a tentative agreement wasn't reached in time. By midnight Friday, that amounted to approximately 12,700 union workers, including ones at GM in Wentzville, Missouri; Stellantis in Toledo, Ohio; and Ford’s Wayne, Michigan plant.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill Wednesday that officially ends the state’s ban on official travel to conservative states that had enacted laws that Democrats claim are anti-LGBTQ. The ban had been a total failure. The Sacramento Bee reported: Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday signed Senate Bill 447 into law, ending the seven-year-old travel ban that prohibited state money from being used to pay for travel to states with anti-LGBTQ laws. The ban caused difficulties for many state agencies, researchers, student athletes and others who rely on state money. Even supporters of the ban acknowledged that the law was not having the deterrent effect it was intended to
White House Is Running Scared From Impeachment Talks 7 replies

When you look past the faux bravado and lame talking points from the White House, it’s quite clear they are panicking over this impeachment inquiry. I can’t blame them; they likely never believed that House Speaker McCarthy would ever get behind it — and for a long time, he wasn’t behind it at all. For sure, there were some rogue efforts to impeach Biden early on, but they weren’t serious. But Biden came into office with the dark cloud of his $1 billion Ukraine quid pro quo hanging over him, and House Republicans followed the breadcrumbs to a trove of evidence that made it impossible not to launch

X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk says the platform should be for moderate Americans, not just leftists. The All In Podcast, which is hosted by David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, and David Friedberg, posted an interview they did with Elon Musk at the All In Summit. During the interview, Musk noted that, in the past, social media has all been “very left-leaning to far left-leaning,” suspending Republicans far more than leftists. He also expressed his goal of changing that online monopoly. The X owner and billionaire said that “The suspensions of several Republican candidates, interests, or voices were at least ten times the rate of—suppression of left-wing voices.”

Trump Reveals Dilemma He Faced on Pardoning Himself 2 replies

Former President Donald Trump says that he avoided "even thinking about" preemptively pardoning himself before leaving office in 2021. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 91 felony charges this year while campaigning as the leading Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential race. The ex-president claims to be the victim of a political "witch hunt," insisting that the charges amount to "election interference." In preview clip released on Thursday and taken from Trump's coming interview on NBC's flagship Sunday morning show Meet the Press, the former president told host Kristen Welker that he declined to pardon himself following his 2020 defeat to President Joe Biden, despite receiving some advice to do so.

US President Joe Biden plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky next week around the United Nations General Assembly meetings, according to multiple officials familiar with the plans. It remained unclear whether the meeting would occur in New York or later in the week at the White House. One source familiar with the matter told CNN that Zelensky is expected to travel to Washington, DC, after his stop in New York. Biden and Zelensky are both scheduled to address the assembly on Tuesday. Zelensky is planning to use an in-person appearance at the annual meeting to appeal for more support for Ukraine as it continues to wage a counteroffensive against Russia.

Florida governor Ron DeSantis is recommending state residents under the age of 65 avoid new Covid-19 booster shots created by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, bucking recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On Tuesday, the CDC advised Americans six months and older who have not gotten a Covid-19 booster shot within the previous two months to get one as a precautionary measure to protect against a new subvariant of the Omicron virus strain, XBB.1.5. “What I have directed our department to do is to provide guidance that really recommends and advises against the use of these mRNA Covid-19 vaccines for anyone under 65,” Florida’s surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, said

Atlanta, GA—Georgia Governor Brian Kemp officially declared a state of emergency today due to high inflation and poor economic conditions in the state stemming from bad economic policies coming out of Washington, D.C. In his declaration, Kemp said he is temporarily suspending the state’s excise tax on motor and locomotive fuel. The suspension of the tax took effect at midnight this morning and will go through October 12th, 2023. This move will save everyone buying gas in Georgia approximately 29 cents per gallon. Kemp has suspended the state's gas tax before, and that suspension lasted for 10 months when it was in effect from March to December of 2022.

Hunter Biden is feeling 'dark, gloomy and defeated' in the wake of his gun indictment - and in 'despair' over his soaring legal fees, a source close to him has claimed. The first son faces up to 25 years in prison after being indicted on three felony charges for lying about his crack cocaine addiction when buying a gun. CNN's Paula Reid spoke about how deflated those closest to Hunter were at the announcement. 'I got the sense that it's just pretty dark and gloomy over there, they feel defeated,' Reid said.

It’s amusing because the follow-up to the Governor’s declaration developed according to the established pattern.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) isn’t high on Kamala Harris as vice president, and her recent remarks might have revealed how most Democrats feel about the other half of the 2024 ticket. The California liberal and former House Speaker even went so far as to insinuate that her true feelings wouldn’t matter, as the office of the VP doesn’t do much. Technically, that is true, as most times, we don’t have to worry about the VP since the president usually can do the job. Biden cannot—and it’s a bit alarming thinking about Harris in charge and control of the nuclear arsenal (via Fox News):

Phillip pointed out to the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) leader that she has compared private schools to the “segregation academies” of the civil rights-era south. She then asked Davis Gates why she would send her own son to a private school if she holds such a negative opinion of them. “I didn’t speak out against private schools. I spoke out against school choice. School choice and private schools are two different entities,” Davis Gates said.
