U.S. Makes Contingency Plans for Russian Escalation March 23, 2022 at 7:48 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“The White House has quietly assembled a team of national security officials to sketch out scenarios of how the United States and its allies should respond if President Vladimir Putin of Russia — frustrated by his lack of progress in Ukraine or determined to warn Western nations against intervening in the war — unleashes his stockpiles of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons,” the New York Times reports.
“The Tiger Team, as the group is known, is also examining responses if Mr. Putin reaches into NATO territory to attack convoys bringing weapons and aid to Ukraine…
"Meeting three times a week, in classified sessions, the team is also looking at responses if Russia seeks to extend the war to neighboring nations, including Moldova and Georgia, and how to prepare European countries for the refugees flowing in on a scale not seen in decades.” ____________
This is serious business, yet you Trumpistic minions carry on here as if there is no reason for unity and cooperation in facing what we soon may be facing.
God help America. God help all people amd all nations.
Russian Military Leaders Not Responding to U.S. 9:24 pm Washington Post 1 hour ago
“Repeated attempts by the United States’ top defense and military leaders to speak with their Russian counterparts have been rejected by Moscow for the last month, leaving the world’s two largest nuclear powers in the dark about explanations for military movements and raising fears of a major miscalculation or battlefield accident,” the Washington Post reports.
“Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have tried to set up phone calls with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Gen. Valery Gerasimov but the Russians ‘have so far declined to engage.’”

ABC News Ukraine’s military forces Russian troops east of Kyiv back 55 km from city center
On Location: March 23, 2022 The Pentagon has been providing daily updates on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine's efforts to resist.
Here are highlights of what a senior U.S. defense official told reporters Wednesday on Day 28: Russian troops face major setback east of Kyiv and moving into defensive positions
In a significant movement, Ukraine's military forces have pushed back Russian forces east of Kyiv to 55 kilometers from the city center, according to a senior defense official.
For weeks, and as recently as Tuesday, Russian forces have been kept at bay approximately 20 to 30 kilometers from the center of the capital city.
The official said that Ukrainian forces near Bovary "have been able to push the Russians back to about 55 kilometers east and northeast of Kyiv."
The ability to push back Russian forces nearly twice as far as where they had been for weeks is in line with what the official had said on Tuesday were indications that in some areas Ukrainian forces were attempting to retake territory taken by Russia. "Ukrainians are not only in some of these places up sufficiently defending they're going on the offense in some of these places and actually pushing the Russians backwards, or in the case of Kiev, they're, they're basically forcing them into a defensive position," the official said Wednesday.
The U.S. now assesses that Russian troops that have been stalled 12 to 15 kilometers north of the city are "digging in" and establishing defensive positions according to the official. "They're forcing them into a defensive position" the official told reporters on Wednesday. "So it's not that they're not advancing, they're actually not trying to advance right now," said the official. "They're taking more defensive positions."
"We're starting to see them sort of dig in around Kyiv but really trying to go more on the offense than they have been, more energy applied, in that eastern part of Ukraine" said the official.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops in the city of Chernihiv, northeast of Kyiv, have also succeeded in slightly pushing back some of the Russian forces that have surrounded the city for weeks.
The official described Ukrainians forces there as continuing to fight "very hard" against Russian forces to keep them out of the city and in some cases Russian troops have been "ceding ground." "They are actually moving in the opposite direction, but not by much," the official said of Russian forces around the city.
The official said Russia appears to be "starting to prioritize" their operations in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine, particularly around Luhansk, to cut off Ukraine's military that has been fighting there against Russian separatists for the past eight years. "We still believe that the Russians are trying to basically cut it off and therefore pin down Ukrainian forces that are that are in the Luhansk, Donetsk area," said the official.

Russia's military hit by high-ranking losses in Ukraine Reuters March 23, 2022, 5:08 PM
March 23 (Reuters) - Russia held a funeral service for the deputy commander of its Black Sea Fleet in annexed Crimea on Wednesday, the latest in what Ukraine says is a string of high-ranking Russian military casualties since Moscow invaded on Feb. 24.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak on Sunday named six Russian generals who he said had been killed in Ukraine along with dozens of colonels and other officers.
Russia's Defence Ministry has not confirmed any of those casualties. It has not revised its troop casualties since March 2, a week into the war, when it said that 498 of its soldiers had died. Ukraine puts the figure at 15,600.
Reuters could not independently verify most of Ukraine's claims, but some have been confirmed from Russian sources.
Local Russian government in the southern port of Novorossiysk confirmed the death on Feb. 28 of Major General Andrei Sukhovetsky in a statement on its website. It said he had served in Syria, the North Caucasus and Abkhazia.
On Wednesday, hundreds converged in the Crimean city of Sevastopol to attend a funeral service with a gun salute for Andrei Paliy, a first rank captain and the deputy commander of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
Konrad Muzyka, director of the Poland-based Rochan consultancy, said the Ukrainian estimates of Russian high-ranking casualties were plausible, but they were difficult to verify and the actual figure was probably smaller.
"Even if we are talking about two generals, that's a big deal," he said. "We're not only talking about generals, we're also talking about colonels who are of course also really high in the organisation."
He said such casualties suggested Russia didn't have a good understanding of Ukrainian artillery positions and Ukraine was having success in pinpointing the location of senior Russian officers, possibly via their mobile phone signals.
A senior foreign diplomat in Moscow told Reuters: "For me what is important is the reported heavy casualties at colonel and above, the backbone of the Russian army, not just generals."
The diplomat said the Russian army was heavily centralised and hierarchical, and lacking in empowered Western-style junior officers. "There are too many colonels, too few corporals. So what happens is tasks requiring resolution, which in the West would be resolved at much lower levels, get passed up the chain for decision," the source said.
The diplomat said that the hierarchical structure drew senior officers to the front to sort out problems or revitalise the effort, leaving them vulnerable to attack.
"Centralisation of command and control, lack of dispersal, and paucity of secure communication also puts them in locations where they can be identified and picked off by Ukrainian UAVs," the diplomat said, referring to unmanned drones.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has killed thousands of people, displaced nearly 10 million and raised fears of a wider confrontation between Russia and the United States.
Russia says its "special military operation" was necessary because the United States was using Ukraine to threaten Russia and Moscow had to defend against the "genocide" of Russian speakers by Ukraine. Ukraine has dismissed those claims. (Reporting by Reuters, editing by Mark Trevelyan and Vinay Dwivedi)
I thought this might happen after he resigned because the other prosecutor would not indict him..
One of the senior Manhattan prosecutors who investigated Donald J. Trump believed that the former president was “guilty of numerous felony violations” and that it was “a grave failure of justice” not to hold him accountable, according to a copy of his resignation letter.
The prosecutor, Mark F. Pomerantz, submitted his resignation last month after the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, abruptly stopped pursuing an indictment of Mr. Trump.
Mr. Pomerantz, 70, a prominent former federal prosecutor and white-collar defense lawyer who came out of retirement to work on the Trump investigation, resigned on the same day as Carey R. Dunne, another senior prosecutor leading the inquiry.
Mr. Pomerantz’s Feb. 23 letter, obtained by The New York Times, offers a personal account of his decision to resign and for the first time states explicitly his belief that the office could have convicted the former president. Mr. Bragg’s decision was “contrary to the public interest,” he wrote.
Mark Pomerantz, one of two lawyers who were leading a criminal inquiry into former President Donald J. Trump’s business practices, said in his resignation letter that he believed Mr. Trump had committed felonies.

David Karp/Associated Press “The team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes — he did,” Mr. Pomerantz wrote.
Mr. Pomerantz and Mr. Dunne planned to charge Mr. Trump with falsifying business records, specifically his annual financial statements — a felony in New York State.
Mr. Bragg’s decision not to pursue charges then — and the resignations that followed — threw the fate of the long-running investigation into serious doubt. If the prosecutors had secured an indictment of Mr. Trump, it would have been the highest-profile case ever brought by the Manhattan district attorney’s office and would have made Mr. Trump the first American president to face criminal charges.
Mr. Bragg didn't want to indict him...
He might be the second Al Capone.
The governor might have the authority to force an indictment against Trump.
Britain will send thousands more missiles to Ukraine’s government as Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Western allies to boost the supply of military aid to Ukraine.
Johnson is traveling to Brussels on Thursday for talks with NATO and leaders of the Group of Seven. He is expected to provide further details of the new British aid during the visit, including the donation of 6,000 more missiles comprising anti-tank and high-explosive weaponry.
“The United Kingdom will work with our allies to step up military and economic support to Ukraine, strengthening their defenses as they turn the tide in this fight,” Johnson said.
Britain has already sent more than 4,000 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine.
The U.K. government also says it is providing some 4 million pounds ($5.3 million) in emergency funding to the BBC World Service to counter disinformation in Russia and Ukraine.
For the slurpers who have trouble understanding the US is not energy independent and the Keystone Pipeline is driving prices up!!!!
The United States is “energy independent.” If the word “independent” means self-sufficient, with no need for outside help, then this statement is true only for certain types of energy—and not at all true regarding the oil used to make gasoline. When you combine every type of energy the U.S. consumes and produces—fossil fuels, renewables, nuclear power and so on—it is true that the United States produces more than it consumes. Total U.S. energy production first exceeded consumption in 2012, when Barack Obama was president. That remained the case while Donald Trump was president, and it is still the case under Biden.
[Follow Rick Newman on Twitter, sign up for his newsletter or send in your thoughts.]
As for oil, however, domestic consumption has exceeded production every year since at least the end of World War II. New drilling techniques have boosted U.S. oil production, and the need for imported oil has narrowed since 2006. But the United States was not “oil independent” under Obama or Trump, and it’s still not under Biden. This is why U.S. consumers have to accept prices set in the global market for oil—and why there’s no practical way to change that. (Read more here.)
Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline drove up gasoline prices. Two things happened one after the other: 1. Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office in 2021. 2. U.S. pump prices doubled during the next 12 months. Many Republicans insist this correlation proves that Biden’s anti-carbon policies caused gas prices to go up. But that’s lazy logic, and facts demonstrate otherwise.
Keystone XL would have been one new pipeline moving oil from Alberta, Canada to Nebraska, and from there to the Gulf Coast for refining into gasoline and other products. The pipeline never got built and never moved any oil, so no oil supply was lost when Biden axed the project. XL would have added pipeline capacity in the future, equivalent to about 4% of the oil the United States consumed in 2020. Some or all of that could have been exported instead of sold to America.

Alan Dershowitz said Ted Cruz's line of questioning during Ketanji Brown Jackson's SCOTUS hearings was 'absurd' Cheryl Teh Thu, March 24, 2022, 12:49 AM·3 min read In this article:

Ted Cruz's law professors at Harvard University.Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images; Mario Tama/Getty Images Prominent lawyer Alan Dershowitz slammed his former student Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday.
Dershowitz criticized Cruz's "absurd" questions posed to Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Dershowitz took issue with Cruz's question on whether he could choose to become Asian despite being Hispanic.
On Wednesday, prominent lawyer Alan Dershowitz slammed his former student, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, and described the lawmaker's questioning of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson as "absurd."
Dershowitz made the comments during a live stream on Rumble, during which he expressed his views on the queries posed by senators to Jackson during her confirmation hearings this week.
In particular, Dershowitz appeared to refer to Cruz's questions to Jackson on Wednesday relating to an ongoing affirmative action case at Harvard University.
Referring to what he labeled as a "modern leftist sensibility" regarding fluid gender identity, Cruz asked Jackson if she thought the "same principle" could apply to other "protected characteristics" such as race.
The US Army's Green Berets quietly helped tilt the battlefield a little bit more toward Ukraine Michael Lee Wed, March 23, 2022, 11:09 PM·3 min read The U.S. Army's Special Forces, better known as Green Berets, have had a deep impact on Ukraine's fight to defend itself from a Russian invasion, despite not being directly involved in the conflict.
"Ukraine was taken very seriously by Special Forces," retired Green Beret Sgt. Maj. Martin Moore told Fox News Digital.
After Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, a move that faced minimal resistance, the Ukrainian military began an effort to modernize its forces to prepare for possible further Russian incursions into the country. The U.S. military also quickly stepped in to help, with the Army's Green Berets taking on a critical role in training Ukrainian forces.
"They immediately set upon a great effort to protect to Ukraine, to provide training," Moore said. "There's nobody better at training than Green Berets. These are people that can teach."
While elite military units such as the Navy SEAL teams garner widespread attention, the Army's Green Berets are fanned out across the world helping armies prepare for wars similar to the one now being fought in Ukraine. This work is typically done quietly, something Moore said Green Berets prefer.
"They do something different," Moore said. "They go where nobody else is and find out what is possible."
Moore said Green Berets are a "force multiplier," improving the combat capability of the international forces they work with. He stressed that they are not about "raids and ambushes," but about having an "unparalleled understanding of the place" where they are operating.
Green Berets are required to learn a foreign language as part of their training and are constantly trained in the political, economic and cultural complexities of the regions in which they are assigned to operate. This unique skill set allows them to partner with foreign forces for training and at times to fight alongside them.
There is little doubt that Trump genuinely believes that the United States has no interest in being at odds with Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and no business getting enmeshed in the Ukraine conflict. But now that Russian atrocities in Ukraine make that view broadly unpopular, Trump does what any conventional politician would do — pretend that his view is something else, and ludicrously assert that as president he would be much more confrontational with Putin than the Biden administration, including threatening the launch of nuclear weapons.
Trump makes so much noise, and instills so much fear in Republican politicians, that it can be hard to see the deterioration that is taking place in his political foundation. My POLITICO colleagues Tara Palmeri and Alex Isenstadt have both done work highlighting some cracks in that foundation, as revealed by Trump’s clumsy efforts to play boss in his party.
Palmeri described how competing family members, political retainers and wealthy contributors are trying to use their access to Trump to gain endorsements for candidates to whom they have personal ties. The implication was that Trump has been manipulated into dubious endorsements that will expose that his ability to swing elections for supporters or punish opponents is actually more limited than he claims.
Isenstadt notes that Trump has endorsed several candidates who could lose intraparty contests. That includes Idaho Republican Janice McGeachin, who is challenging the state’s incumbent governor, Brad Little. Trump has also lined up behind North Carolina Republican Rep. Ted Budd, who is running in a competitive Senate race against former Gov. Pat McCrory. In the governor’s race in Georgia, where Trump is trying to punish incumbent Brian Kemp for not supporting his effort to overturn the election, Kemp has so far retained a substantial polling lead and fundraising advantage over Trump-backed former Sen. David Perdue.
It is worth keeping these embarrassments and potential embarrassments in context. The reality is Trump is so far dominating his party in a way that is unmatched by any former president in the last century.
But so far isn’t actually that far — and history has a way of catching up. In December 2020, I wrote a column noting that Trump belongs to a long line of politicians who have used appeals similar to his to rise to prominence. At the malevolent end this includes figures like Joseph McCarthy and George Wallace; at the benign end it includes figures like Ross Perot. All of them struck themes similar to the ones that vaulted Trump to power — that America is facing decline because of the duplicity and cravenness of political elites, arguments often laced with xenophobia. All of them for a time vaulted to prominence as the tribune of ordinary Americans disgusted with conventional politics. All of them tried comebacks once their period of peak power waned. None of them succeeded. Trump is unique in that he rode his populist appeal all the way to the presidency. He’s already surprised me with how much relevance he continues to hold. But nothing in history suggests that he can retain this influence all the way to 2024.
“Every hero becomes a bore at last,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson — and he might have added that they become a phony, as well.
The Real Halfbaked Soars Pundit said... I thought this might happen after he resigned because the other prosecutor would not indict him..
Mark Pomerantz (the lawyer who led the Manhattan DA’s criminal investigation into Donald Trump before resigning) tells on himself
Alex Berenson
The New York Times just published Pomerantz’s resignation letter (gee, I wonder who gave it to them?).
Pomerantz - a former federal prosecutor who should know much better - apparently meant it as thundering condemnation of Trump. Instead it practically guarantees he will never be indicted.
Why?
The letter reeks of political bias. Pomerantz complains that Trump has lied to “the national media… and the American people.”
The only correct response is, how are your views of the defendant’s press conferences relevant into an investigation into his bank statements?
Whether Donald Trump lied to his wife, or his doorman, or Mike Wallace makes no difference to this case. It doesn’t matter if he was the best president, or the worst, if his hair is real or if he cheats at golf. This is a criminal case, not an indictment of his character.
Kudos to Alvin Bragg, the new Manhattan district attorney, for understanding that reality. Too bad the guy leading the investigation didn’t.
Brown Jackson saying she cannot define what a woman is because she's not a biologist might be her dumbest answer of the week. And it is getting widespread condemnation. How will schedule on title IX and women's rights issues if she doesn't know what she herself is? Friggin stupid.

How Democrats Cheated In The 2020 Election Experts find a shadow database lurking in Mesa County's election system!
A new report from two cybersecurity experts who have reviewed all the election data from Mesa County, Colorado shows that a second and illegal database was secretly installed and used to manipulate votes in the 2020 election.
The report — officially called Mesa County Colorado Voting Systems Report #3 — was written by experts who analyzed all the data from Mesa County’s election server, which was saved before the Colorado Secretary of State and the electronic voting machine company “overwrote” and wiped away the contents of the server’s hard drive.
The report describes exactly how the electronic voting machines were used to change votes in the 2020 election — without election officials being aware of any fraud.
Let’s review the key findings of the report, and see the actual forensic evidence of the cheating, shall we? continues with embedded links: https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/exclusive-how-democrats-cheated-in

After President Vladimir Putin of Russia claimed that action against Ukraine was taken in self-defense, Fox News host Tucker Carlson and conservative commentator Candace Owens repeated the assertion. When Putin insisted he was trying to “denazify” Ukraine, Joe Oltmann, a far-right podcaster, and Lara Logan, another right-wing commentator, mirrored the idea.
The echoing went the other way, too. Some far-right U.S. news sites, like Infowars, stoked a longtime, unfounded Russian claim that the United States funded biological weapons labs in Ukraine. Russian officials seized on the chatter, with the Kremlin contending it had documentation of bioweapons programs that justified its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
As war has raged, the Kremlin’s talking points and some right-wing discourse in the United States — fueled by those on the far right — have coalesced. On social media, podcasts and television, falsehoods about the invasion of Ukraine have flowed both ways, with Americans amplifying lies from Russians and the Kremlin spreading fabrications that festered in U.S. forums online.
By reinforcing and feeding each other’s messaging, some right-wing Americans have given credibility to Russia’s assertions and vice versa. Together, they have created an alternate reality, recasting the Western bloc of allies as provokers, blunderers and liars, which has bolstered Putin.
The war initially threw some conservatives — who had insisted no invasion would happen — for a loop. Many criticized Putin and Russia’s assault on Ukraine. Some have since gone on to urge more support for Ukraine.
But in recent days, several far-right commentators have again gravitated to narratives favorable to Putin’s cause. The main one has been the bioweapons conspiracy theory, which has provided a way to talk about the war while focusing criticism on President Joe Biden and the U.S. government instead of Putin and the Kremlin.
An example of the crazy mother ducking Republican party of today.
Tucker savages Ketanji Brown Jackson, transgenderism, and tech tyranny Even before Ketanji Brown Jackson's extraordinary statement that she does not know what a woman is, I'd concluded that she's a dim bulb and, really, the judicial equivalent of Kamala Harris: an uninspiring Black woman who's floated effortlessly upward through affirmative action and fealty to leftism. I'd spent the day mentally writing an attack on her, only to see Tucker Carlson hold forth with an incendiary monologue that attacked her "I'm not a biologist" lunacy, the whole transgender madness that the left is advancing, and the real agenda of remaking society in an ugly way, especially through the death of free speech.
As you watch it, keep in mind a point I've made repeatedly: the giveaway that this whole transgender thing is a con is the word "transgender." If swimmer Will Thomas really were a woman (and really believed he is a woman), he wouldn't call himself a "transgender woman." He'd just say, "I'm a woman." The same is true for Richard Levine, the assistant secretary for health.
The moment that word "transgender" comes out, it's a tell that this isn't a real gender. Indeed, if you get confused as to whether a "transgender woman" is someone born female and claiming to be male, or vice versa, simply substitute the word "fake" for "trans." Will Thomas is a fake woman who is stealing swimming awards and accolades from real women. Richard Levine is a fake woman who stole the title of first female admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps from a future real woman.
Again, trans = fake.
And that gets us to why the left is encouraging people like Thomas and Levine. Tucker helps us understand this with his exhilarating attack on Brown Jackson, the lie of transgenderism, the leftist turnaround on what constitutes a woman, and the frightening role of social media, especially Twitter, in ending free speech as a way to push these lies throughout society.

WASHINGTON -- The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits last week fell to its lowest level in 52 years as the U.S. job market continues to show strength in the midst of rising costs and an ongoing virus pandemic.
Jobless claims fell by 28,000 to 187,000 for the week ending March 19, the lowest since September of 1969, the Labor Department reported Thursday. First-time applications for jobless aid generally track the pace of layoffs.
The four-week average for claims, which compensates for weekly volatility, also fell to levels not seen in five decades. The Labor Department reported that the four week moving average tumbled to 211,750 from the previous week’s 223,250.
In total, 1,350,000 Americans were collecting jobless aid the week that ended March 12, another five-decade low.
Earlier this month, the government reported that employers added a robust 678,000 jobs in February, the largest monthly total since July. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.8%, from 4% in January, extending a sharp decline in joblessness to its lowest level since before the pandemic erupted two years ago.
Bidenomics, Roger, got one of those "Live Updates" on Biden cancelling Joe E.O. that crushed the US and Canada oil production at a time when we need every drop?

U.S. jobless claims set a more than 50-year low last week as the red-hot labor market shows few signs of cooling in the near-term.
The Labor Department released its latest weekly jobless claims report Thursday at 8:30 a.m. ET. Here were the main metrics from the print, compared to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg:
Initial jobless claims, week ended March 19: 187,000 vs. 210,000 expected and a revised 215,000 during prior week
Continuing claims, week ended March 12: 1.350 million vs. 1.400 million expected and a revised 1.417 million during prior week
Stay ahead of the market At 187,000, new jobless claims improved for a back-to-back week and reached the lowest level since September 1969. Continuing claims also fell further to reach 1.35 million — the least since January 1970.
The labor market has remained a point of strength in the U.S. economy, with job openings still elevated but coming down from record levels as more workers rejoin the labor force from the sidelines
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said that the White House is getting it wrong on the causes of high inflation and that attempts to blame it on “corporate greed” only increase the risk that a recession will be needed to tame surging prices"
One of the best-known recession indicators is flashing warning signs on the economy. Yields on longer-term U.S. government bonds are in danger of slipping below yields on short-term bonds, a relatively rare occurrence known as an "inversion."
The odds of a 2022 Recession have skyrocketed over the last several weeks. Multiple forward-looking indicators that historically predict recessions are now blinking red. And these indicators, which I will reveal in this post, are screaming that there could be a 90% Chance of Recession in 2022.

Why Trump Is Losing His Grip on the GOP 10:30 am John Harris: “Trump has moved from being the beneficiary of America’s instinctual suspicion that most politicians are phonies who don’t really believe a thing they say, to being the enforcer against politicians who are insufficiently phony in professing blind devotion to him.
“One suspects that Trump himself does not realize how far he has drifted from the original source of his appeal as someone who is not connected to a reigning power structure and may lie and even cheat but does not traffic in the usual political B.S.
“Trump makes so much noise, and instills so much fear in Republican politicians, that it can be hard to see the deterioration that is taking place in his political foundation.”
Benjy Sarlin: “It’s a weird moment where Trump simultaneously 1) has never looked weaker, 2) is still the frontrunner for the nomination, and 3) cannot be making it clearer his one guiding issue is re-running 2020 only now rigged in his favor at the state level.”

“Videos and photos reviewed by The New York Times confirmed that a Russian ship was on fire at the port.”
American Bar Association Gives Jackson an A+ 10:14 am EDT Representatives of the American Bar Association lauded the qualifications of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday, saying everyone they interviewed used terms such as “brilliant,” “beyond reproach,” “impeccable” and “A-plus” to describe her, the Washington Post reports.
Ketanji Brown Jackson represents America's fulfillment of the real intention of our forebears, our founders, for although they were all men and many of them even possessed slaves, they admitted that they knew slavery was wrong and must eventually be set aside.
Ketanji Brown Jackson represents the defeat of all misguided White Nationalistic racism and sexism.
I just watched Lindsey Graham's disgusting spectacle as he tried repeatedly to browbeat a person far more decent and principled than he is, and then I watched Cory Booker's glowing tribute to Jackson, and I felt great pride and renewed hope for America.
Russian Forces Remain Stalled In Ukraine 11:00 am EDT “The latest Western intelligence reports and military analyses indicate that Russian forces remain stalled across much of the Ukrainian battlefield four weeks after the invasion began,” the New York Times reports.
“A report on Wednesday from British defense intelligence suggested that the battlefield in the north of the country has stayed largely static for days.”
What a change in tune from the Dems. We were told for days by White House & @GlennKesslerWP & other media flunkies that questions about Jackson’s record were unfair because they didn’t account for probation reports. Which none of us had seen. Now Durbin saying nothing to see

Democrats need people to fail in order to make them feel dependent on the Government. If people do better, then they tend to require less from the Government and vote Republican.
So while people wonder why poverty rose under Obama, fell under Trump (pre-covid), and is now exploding back under Biden. You only need to look at the politics of it all.

Yep. Rush Limbaugh often repeated the fact that the democrat party REQUIRES a permanent underclass in order to exist. The worse thing that could possibly happen to the democrat party is for an individual to throw off the yoke of government dependency.

U.S. Makes Contingency Plans for Russian Escalation
March 23, 2022 at 7:48 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
“The White House has quietly assembled a team of national security officials to sketch out scenarios of how the United States and its allies should respond if President Vladimir Putin of Russia — frustrated by his lack of progress in Ukraine or determined to warn Western nations against intervening in the war — unleashes his stockpiles of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons,”
the New York Times reports.
“The Tiger Team, as the group is known, is also examining responses if Mr. Putin reaches into NATO territory to attack convoys bringing weapons and aid to Ukraine…
"Meeting three times a week, in classified sessions, the team is also looking at responses if Russia seeks to extend the war to neighboring nations, including Moldova and Georgia,
and how to prepare European countries for the refugees flowing in on a scale not seen in decades.”

“Repeated attempts by the United States’ top defense and military leaders to speak with their Russian counterparts have been rejected by Moscow for the last month, leaving the world’s two largest nuclear powers in the dark about explanations for military movements and raising fears of a major miscalculation or battlefield accident,”
the Washington Post reports.
“Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have tried to set up phone calls with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Gen. Valery Gerasimov but the Russians ‘have so far declined to engage.’”

Ukraine’s military forces Russian troops east of Kyiv back 55 km from city center
On Location: March 23, 2022
The Pentagon has been providing daily updates on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine's efforts to resist.
Here are highlights of what a senior U.S. defense official told reporters Wednesday on Day 28:
Russian troops face major setback east of Kyiv and moving into defensive positions
In a significant movement, Ukraine's military forces have pushed back Russian forces east of Kyiv to 55 kilometers from the city center, according to a senior defense official.
For weeks, and as recently as Tuesday, Russian forces have been kept at bay approximately 20 to 30 kilometers from the center of the capital city.
The official said that Ukrainian forces near Bovary "have been able to push the Russians back to about 55 kilometers east and northeast of Kyiv."
The ability to push back Russian forces nearly twice as far as where they had been for weeks is in line with what the official had said on Tuesday were indications that in some areas Ukrainian forces were attempting to retake territory taken by Russia. "Ukrainians are not only in some of these places up sufficiently defending they're going on the offense in some of these places and actually pushing the Russians backwards, or in the case of Kiev, they're, they're basically forcing them into a defensive position," the official said Wednesday.
The U.S. now assesses that Russian troops that have been stalled 12 to 15 kilometers north of the city are "digging in" and establishing defensive positions according to the official. "They're forcing them into a defensive position" the official told reporters on Wednesday. "So it's not that they're not advancing, they're actually not trying to advance right now," said the official. "They're taking more defensive positions."
"We're starting to see them sort of dig in around Kyiv but really trying to go more on the offense than they have been, more energy applied, in that eastern part of Ukraine" said the official.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops in the city of Chernihiv, northeast of Kyiv, have also succeeded in slightly pushing back some of the Russian forces that have surrounded the city for weeks.
The official described Ukrainians forces there as continuing to fight "very hard" against Russian forces to keep them out of the city and in some cases Russian troops have been "ceding ground." "They are actually moving in the opposite direction, but not by much," the official said of Russian forces around the city.
The official said Russia appears to be "starting to prioritize" their operations in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine, particularly around Luhansk, to cut off Ukraine's military that has been fighting there against Russian separatists for the past eight years. "We still believe that the Russians are trying to basically cut it off and therefore pin down Ukrainian forces that are that are in the Luhansk, Donetsk area," said the official.

Fact
Russia's military hit by high-ranking losses in Ukraine
Reuters
March 23, 2022, 5:08 PM
March 23 (Reuters) - Russia held a funeral service for the deputy commander of its Black Sea Fleet in annexed Crimea on Wednesday, the latest in what Ukraine says is a string of high-ranking Russian military casualties since Moscow invaded on Feb. 24.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak on Sunday named six Russian generals who he said had been killed in Ukraine along with dozens of colonels and other officers.
Russia's Defence Ministry has not confirmed any of those casualties. It has not revised its troop casualties since March 2, a week into the war, when it said that 498 of its soldiers had died. Ukraine puts the figure at 15,600.
Reuters could not independently verify most of Ukraine's claims, but some have been confirmed from Russian sources.
Local Russian government in the southern port of Novorossiysk confirmed the death on Feb. 28 of Major General Andrei Sukhovetsky in a statement on its website. It said he had served in Syria, the North Caucasus and Abkhazia.
On Wednesday, hundreds converged in the Crimean city of Sevastopol to attend a funeral service with a gun salute for Andrei Paliy, a first rank captain and the deputy commander of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
Konrad Muzyka, director of the Poland-based Rochan consultancy, said the Ukrainian estimates of Russian high-ranking casualties were plausible, but they were difficult to verify and the actual figure was probably smaller.
"Even if we are talking about two generals, that's a big deal," he said. "We're not only talking about generals, we're also talking about colonels who are of course also really high in the organisation."
He said such casualties suggested Russia didn't have a good understanding of Ukrainian artillery positions and Ukraine was having success in pinpointing the location of senior Russian officers, possibly via their mobile phone signals.
A senior foreign diplomat in Moscow told Reuters: "For me what is important is the reported heavy casualties at colonel and above, the backbone of the Russian army, not just generals."
The diplomat said the Russian army was heavily centralised and hierarchical, and lacking in empowered Western-style junior officers. "There are too many colonels, too few corporals. So what happens is tasks requiring resolution, which in the West would be resolved at much lower levels, get passed up the chain for decision," the source said.
The diplomat said that the hierarchical structure drew senior officers to the front to sort out problems or revitalise the effort, leaving them vulnerable to attack.
"Centralisation of command and control, lack of dispersal, and paucity of secure communication also puts them in locations where they can be identified and picked off by Ukrainian UAVs," the diplomat said, referring to unmanned drones.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has killed thousands of people, displaced nearly 10 million and raised fears of a wider confrontation between Russia and the United States.
Russia says its "special military operation" was necessary because the United States was using Ukraine to threaten Russia and Moscow had to defend against the "genocide" of Russian speakers by Ukraine. Ukraine has dismissed those claims. (Reporting by Reuters, editing by Mark Trevelyan and Vinay Dwivedi)

I thought this might happen after he resigned because the other prosecutor would not indict him..
One of the senior Manhattan prosecutors who investigated Donald J. Trump believed that the former president was “guilty of numerous felony violations” and that it was “a grave failure of justice” not to hold him accountable, according to a copy of his resignation letter.
The prosecutor, Mark F. Pomerantz, submitted his resignation last month after the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, abruptly stopped pursuing an indictment of Mr. Trump.
Mr. Pomerantz, 70, a prominent former federal prosecutor and white-collar defense lawyer who came out of retirement to work on the Trump investigation, resigned on the same day as Carey R. Dunne, another senior prosecutor leading the inquiry.
Mr. Pomerantz’s Feb. 23 letter, obtained by The New York Times, offers a personal account of his decision to resign and for the first time states explicitly his belief that the office could have convicted the former president. Mr. Bragg’s decision was “contrary to the public interest,” he wrote.
Mark Pomerantz, one of two lawyers who were leading a criminal inquiry into former President Donald J. Trump’s business practices, said in his resignation letter that he believed Mr. Trump had committed felonies.

“The team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes — he did,” Mr. Pomerantz wrote.
Mr. Pomerantz and Mr. Dunne planned to charge Mr. Trump with falsifying business records, specifically his annual financial statements — a felony in New York State.
Mr. Bragg’s decision not to pursue charges then — and the resignations that followed — threw the fate of the long-running investigation into serious doubt. If the prosecutors had secured an indictment of Mr. Trump, it would have been the highest-profile case ever brought by the Manhattan district attorney’s office and would have made Mr. Trump the first American president to face criminal charges.
Mr. Bragg didn't want to indict him...
He might be the second Al Capone.
The governor might have the authority to force an indictment against Trump.

Britain will send thousands more missiles to Ukraine’s government as Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Western allies to boost the supply of military aid to Ukraine.
Johnson is traveling to Brussels on Thursday for talks with NATO and leaders of the Group of Seven. He is expected to provide further details of the new British aid during the visit, including the donation of 6,000 more missiles comprising anti-tank and high-explosive weaponry.
“The United Kingdom will work with our allies to step up military and economic support to Ukraine, strengthening their defenses as they turn the tide in this fight,” Johnson said.
Britain has already sent more than 4,000 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine.
The U.K. government also says it is providing some 4 million pounds ($5.3 million) in emergency funding to the BBC World Service to counter disinformation in Russia and Ukraine.
For the slurpers who have trouble understanding the US is not energy independent and the Keystone Pipeline is driving prices up!!!!
The United States is “energy independent.” If the word “independent” means self-sufficient, with no need for outside help, then this statement is true only for certain types of energy—and not at all true regarding the oil used to make gasoline. When you combine every type of energy the U.S. consumes and produces—fossil fuels, renewables, nuclear power and so on—it is true that the United States produces more than it consumes. Total U.S. energy production first exceeded consumption in 2012, when Barack Obama was president. That remained the case while Donald Trump was president, and it is still the case under Biden.
[Follow Rick Newman on Twitter, sign up for his newsletter or send in your thoughts.]
As for oil, however, domestic consumption has exceeded production every year since at least the end of World War II. New drilling techniques have boosted U.S. oil production, and the need for imported oil has narrowed since 2006. But the United States was not “oil independent” under Obama or Trump, and it’s still not under Biden. This is why U.S. consumers have to accept prices set in the global market for oil—and why there’s no practical way to change that. (Read more here.)
Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline drove up gasoline prices. Two things happened one after the other: 1. Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office in 2021. 2. U.S. pump prices doubled during the next 12 months. Many Republicans insist this correlation proves that Biden’s anti-carbon policies caused gas prices to go up. But that’s lazy logic, and facts demonstrate otherwise.
Keystone XL would have been one new pipeline moving oil from Alberta, Canada to Nebraska, and from there to the Gulf Coast for refining into gasoline and other products. The pipeline never got built and never moved any oil, so no oil supply was lost when Biden axed the project. XL would have added pipeline capacity in the future, equivalent to about 4% of the oil the United States consumed in 2020. Some or all of that could have been exported instead of sold to America.

On Wednesday, prominent lawyer Alan Dershowitz slammed his former student, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, and described the lawmaker's questioning of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson as "absurd."
Dershowitz made the comments during a live stream on Rumble, during which he expressed his views on the queries posed by senators to Jackson during her confirmation hearings this week.
In particular, Dershowitz appeared to refer to Cruz's questions to Jackson on Wednesday relating to an ongoing affirmative action case at Harvard University.
Referring to what he labeled as a "modern leftist sensibility" regarding fluid gender identity, Cruz asked Jackson if she thought the "same principle" could apply to other "protected characteristics" such as race.
Our elite forces are helping Ukraine
The US Army's Green Berets quietly helped tilt the battlefield a little bit more toward Ukraine
Michael Lee
Wed, March 23, 2022, 11:09 PM·3 min read
The U.S. Army's Special Forces, better known as Green Berets, have had a deep impact on Ukraine's fight to defend itself from a Russian invasion, despite not being directly involved in the conflict.
"Ukraine was taken very seriously by Special Forces," retired Green Beret Sgt. Maj. Martin Moore told Fox News Digital.
After Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, a move that faced minimal resistance, the Ukrainian military began an effort to modernize its forces to prepare for possible further Russian incursions into the country. The U.S. military also quickly stepped in to help, with the Army's Green Berets taking on a critical role in training Ukrainian forces.
"They immediately set upon a great effort to protect to Ukraine, to provide training," Moore said. "There's nobody better at training than Green Berets. These are people that can teach."
While elite military units such as the Navy SEAL teams garner widespread attention, the Army's Green Berets are fanned out across the world helping armies prepare for wars similar to the one now being fought in Ukraine. This work is typically done quietly, something Moore said Green Berets prefer.
"They do something different," Moore said. "They go where nobody else is and find out what is possible."
Moore said Green Berets are a "force multiplier," improving the combat capability of the international forces they work with. He stressed that they are not about "raids and ambushes," but about having an "unparalleled understanding of the place" where they are operating.
Green Berets are required to learn a foreign language as part of their training and are constantly trained in the political, economic and cultural complexities of the regions in which they are assigned to operate. This unique skill set allows them to partner with foreign forces for training and at times to fight alongside them.
Trump is no longer in charge.
There is little doubt that Trump genuinely believes that the United States has no interest in being at odds with Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and no business getting enmeshed in the Ukraine conflict. But now that Russian atrocities in Ukraine make that view broadly unpopular, Trump does what any conventional politician would do — pretend that his view is something else, and ludicrously assert that as president he would be much more confrontational with Putin than the Biden administration, including threatening the launch of nuclear weapons.
Trump makes so much noise, and instills so much fear in Republican politicians, that it can be hard to see the deterioration that is taking place in his political foundation. My POLITICO colleagues Tara Palmeri and Alex Isenstadt have both done work highlighting some cracks in that foundation, as revealed by Trump’s clumsy efforts to play boss in his party.
Palmeri described how competing family members, political retainers and wealthy contributors are trying to use their access to Trump to gain endorsements for candidates to whom they have personal ties. The implication was that Trump has been manipulated into dubious endorsements that will expose that his ability to swing elections for supporters or punish opponents is actually more limited than he claims.
Isenstadt notes that Trump has endorsed several candidates who could lose intraparty contests. That includes Idaho Republican Janice McGeachin, who is challenging the state’s incumbent governor, Brad Little. Trump has also lined up behind North Carolina Republican Rep. Ted Budd, who is running in a competitive Senate race against former Gov. Pat McCrory. In the governor’s race in Georgia, where Trump is trying to punish incumbent Brian Kemp for not supporting his effort to overturn the election, Kemp has so far retained a substantial polling lead and fundraising advantage over Trump-backed former Sen. David Perdue.
It is worth keeping these embarrassments and potential embarrassments in context. The reality is Trump is so far dominating his party in a way that is unmatched by any former president in the last century.
But so far isn’t actually that far — and history has a way of catching up. In December 2020, I wrote a column noting that Trump belongs to a long line of politicians who have used appeals similar to his to rise to prominence. At the malevolent end this includes figures like Joseph McCarthy and George Wallace; at the benign end it includes figures like Ross Perot. All of them struck themes similar to the ones that vaulted Trump to power — that America is facing decline because of the duplicity and cravenness of political elites, arguments often laced with xenophobia. All of them for a time vaulted to prominence as the tribune of ordinary Americans disgusted with conventional politics. All of them tried comebacks once their period of peak power waned. None of them succeeded. Trump is unique in that he rode his populist appeal all the way to the presidency. He’s already surprised me with how much relevance he continues to hold. But nothing in history suggests that he can retain this influence all the way to 2024.
“Every hero becomes a bore at last,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson — and he might have added that they become a phony, as well.

Mark Pomerantz (the lawyer who led the Manhattan DA’s criminal investigation into Donald Trump before resigning) tells on himself
Alex Berenson
The New York Times just published Pomerantz’s resignation letter (gee, I wonder who gave it to them?).
Pomerantz - a former federal prosecutor who should know much better - apparently meant it as thundering condemnation of Trump. Instead it practically guarantees he will never be indicted.
Why?
The letter reeks of political bias. Pomerantz complains that Trump has lied to “the national media… and the American people.”
The only correct response is, how are your views of the defendant’s press conferences relevant into an investigation into his bank statements?
Whether Donald Trump lied to his wife, or his doorman, or Mike Wallace makes no difference to this case. It doesn’t matter if he was the best president, or the worst, if his hair is real or if he cheats at golf. This is a criminal case, not an indictment of his character.
Kudos to Alvin Bragg, the new Manhattan district attorney, for understanding that reality. Too bad the guy leading the investigation didn’t.

How Democrats Cheated In The 2020 Election
Experts find a shadow database lurking in Mesa County's election system!
A new report from two cybersecurity experts who have reviewed all the election data from Mesa County, Colorado shows that a second and illegal database was secretly installed and used to manipulate votes in the 2020 election.
The report — officially called Mesa County Colorado Voting Systems Report #3 — was written by experts who analyzed all the data from Mesa County’s election server, which was saved before the Colorado Secretary of State and the electronic voting machine company “overwrote” and wiped away the contents of the server’s hard drive.
The report describes exactly how the electronic voting machines were used to change votes in the 2020 election — without election officials being aware of any fraud.
Let’s review the key findings of the report, and see the actual forensic evidence of the cheating, shall we?

And only idiots with their heads stuck up trumps ass missed these historic problems that have plagued the GOP for many years!!!
[edit]
Gary Condit, Representative (Democrat-California) — His affair with 23-year-old intern Chandra Levy was exposed after Levy disappeared. Her body was found a year later, and in 2008, an illegal immigrant with no relation to Condit was charged with her murder, but all charges against the suspect were dropped years later. The murder of Chandra Levy remains unsolved.[104] Condit had often demanded that Bill Clinton "come clean" about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. (2001)[105]
Ed Schrock, Representative (Republican-Virginia) — Announced he would terminate his 2004 attempt for a third term in Congress after allegedly being caught on tape soliciting sex with men, despite having aggressively opposed various gay-rights issues in Congress, such as same-sex marriage and gays in the military.[106]
Strom Thurmond, Senator before 1964 (Democrat-South Carolina), after 1964 (Republican-South Carolina) — Despite being a noted segregationist, Thurmond fathered a child, Essie Mae Washington-Williams, with a 16-year-old African American in 1925, who was employed by the Thurmond family. (2003)[107]
And lets not forget ball less....the Trump was good friends with Epstein who enjoyed sex with young girls....kinda like our host Lil Scotty!!!
After President Vladimir Putin of Russia claimed that action against Ukraine was taken in self-defense, Fox News host Tucker Carlson and conservative commentator Candace Owens repeated the assertion. When Putin insisted he was trying to “denazify” Ukraine, Joe Oltmann, a far-right podcaster, and Lara Logan, another right-wing commentator, mirrored the idea.
The echoing went the other way, too. Some far-right U.S. news sites, like Infowars, stoked a longtime, unfounded Russian claim that the United States funded biological weapons labs in Ukraine. Russian officials seized on the chatter, with the Kremlin contending it had documentation of bioweapons programs that justified its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
As war has raged, the Kremlin’s talking points and some right-wing discourse in the United States — fueled by those on the far right — have coalesced. On social media, podcasts and television, falsehoods about the invasion of Ukraine have flowed both ways, with Americans amplifying lies from Russians and the Kremlin spreading fabrications that festered in U.S. forums online.
By reinforcing and feeding each other’s messaging, some right-wing Americans have given credibility to Russia’s assertions and vice versa. Together, they have created an alternate reality, recasting the Western bloc of allies as provokers, blunderers and liars, which has bolstered Putin.
The war initially threw some conservatives — who had insisted no invasion would happen — for a loop. Many criticized Putin and Russia’s assault on Ukraine. Some have since gone on to urge more support for Ukraine.
But in recent days, several far-right commentators have again gravitated to narratives favorable to Putin’s cause. The main one has been the bioweapons conspiracy theory, which has provided a way to talk about the war while focusing criticism on President Joe Biden and the U.S. government instead of Putin and the Kremlin.
An example of the crazy mother ducking Republican party of today.
Tucker savages Ketanji Brown Jackson, transgenderism, and tech tyranny
Even before Ketanji Brown Jackson's extraordinary statement that she does not know what a woman is, I'd concluded that she's a dim bulb and, really, the judicial equivalent of Kamala Harris: an uninspiring Black woman who's floated effortlessly upward through affirmative action and fealty to leftism. I'd spent the day mentally writing an attack on her, only to see Tucker Carlson hold forth with an incendiary monologue that attacked her "I'm not a biologist" lunacy, the whole transgender madness that the left is advancing, and the real agenda of remaking society in an ugly way, especially through the death of free speech.
As you watch it, keep in mind a point I've made repeatedly: the giveaway that this whole transgender thing is a con is the word "transgender." If swimmer Will Thomas really were a woman (and really believed he is a woman), he wouldn't call himself a "transgender woman." He'd just say, "I'm a woman." The same is true for Richard Levine, the assistant secretary for health.
The moment that word "transgender" comes out, it's a tell that this isn't a real gender. Indeed, if you get confused as to whether a "transgender woman" is someone born female and claiming to be male, or vice versa, simply substitute the word "fake" for "trans." Will Thomas is a fake woman who is stealing swimming awards and accolades from real women. Richard Levine is a fake woman who stole the title of first female admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps from a future real woman.
Again, trans = fake.
And that gets us to why the left is encouraging people like Thomas and Levine. Tucker helps us understand this with his exhilarating attack on Brown Jackson, the lie of transgenderism, the leftist turnaround on what constitutes a woman, and the frightening role of social media, especially Twitter, in ending free speech as a way to push these lies throughout society.

WASHINGTON -- The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits last week fell to its lowest level in 52 years as the U.S. job market continues to show strength in the midst of rising costs and an ongoing virus pandemic.
Jobless claims fell by 28,000 to 187,000 for the week ending March 19, the lowest since September of 1969, the Labor Department reported Thursday. First-time applications for jobless aid generally track the pace of layoffs.
The four-week average for claims, which compensates for weekly volatility, also fell to levels not seen in five decades. The Labor Department reported that the four week moving average tumbled to 211,750 from the previous week’s 223,250.
In total, 1,350,000 Americans were collecting jobless aid the week that ended March 12, another five-decade low.
Earlier this month, the government reported that employers added a robust 678,000 jobs in February, the largest monthly total since July. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.8%, from 4% in January, extending a sharp decline in joblessness to its lowest level since before the pandemic erupted two years ago.
Bidenomics, Roger, got one of those "Live Updates" on Biden cancelling Joe E.O. that crushed the US and Canada oil production at a time when we need every drop?
Yes goat fucker....keep hoping for a recession shows all what an America hater you are!!!!

New jobless claims fall to 187,000, setting more than five-decade low

U.S. jobless claims set a more than 50-year low last week as the red-hot labor market shows few signs of cooling in the near-term.
The Labor Department released its latest weekly jobless claims report Thursday at 8:30 a.m. ET. Here were the main metrics from the print, compared to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg:
Initial jobless claims, week ended March 19: 187,000 vs. 210,000 expected and a revised 215,000 during prior week
Continuing claims, week ended March 12: 1.350 million vs. 1.400 million expected and a revised 1.417 million during prior week
Stay ahead of the market
At 187,000, new jobless claims improved for a back-to-back week and reached the lowest level since September 1969. Continuing claims also fell further to reach 1.35 million — the least since January 1970.
The labor market has remained a point of strength in the U.S. economy, with job openings still elevated but coming down from record levels as more workers rejoin the labor force from the sidelines
Hi Dennis.
Facts really upset you and Alky.
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said that the White House is getting it wrong on the causes of high inflation and that attempts to blame it on “corporate greed” only increase the risk that a recession will be needed to tame surging prices"

The odds of a 2022 Recession have skyrocketed over the last several weeks. Multiple forward-looking indicators that historically predict recessions are now blinking red. And these indicators, which I will reveal in this post, are screaming that there could be a 90% Chance of Recession in 2022.

Why Trump Is Losing His Grip on the GOP
10:30 am
John Harris:
“Trump has moved from being the beneficiary of America’s instinctual suspicion that most politicians are phonies who don’t really believe a thing they say, to being the enforcer against politicians who are insufficiently phony in professing blind devotion to him.
“One suspects that Trump himself does not realize how far he has drifted from the original source of his appeal as someone who is not connected to a reigning power structure and may lie and even cheat but does not traffic in the usual political B.S.
“Trump makes so much noise, and instills so much fear in Republican politicians, that it can be hard to see the deterioration that is taking place in his political foundation.”
Benjy Sarlin:
“It’s a weird moment where Trump simultaneously
1) has never looked weaker,
2) is still the frontrunner for the nomination, and
3) cannot be making it clearer his one guiding issue is re-running 2020 only now rigged in his favor at the state level.”
HE WILL NOT SUCCEED!

American Bar Association Gives Jackson an A+
10:14 am EDT
Representatives of the American Bar Association lauded the qualifications of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday, saying everyone they interviewed used terms such as “brilliant,” “beyond reproach,” “impeccable” and “A-plus” to describe her,
the Washington Post reports.
Ketanji Brown Jackson represents America's fulfillment of the real intention of our forebears, our founders, for although they were all men and many of them even possessed slaves, they admitted that they knew slavery was wrong and must eventually be set aside.
Ketanji Brown Jackson represents the defeat of all misguided White Nationalistic racism and sexism.
I just watched Lindsey Graham's disgusting spectacle as he tried repeatedly to browbeat a person far more decent and principled than he is, and then I watched Cory Booker's glowing tribute to Jackson, and I felt great pride and renewed hope for America.
We shall overcome
THIS IS ACTUALLY RATHER AMAZING...

She just glared at him. Then Durbin cut off the questioning.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn’t regret lenient sentences for child porn; says she regrets, rather, that Senators are asking about them. Still won’t explain or regret short sentences. Just repeats: “No one case can stand for” her record. But SCOTUS is all about singular cases!

Attention: In addition to other outrageous aspects of KBJ’s refusal to define “woman,” she betrayed her own leftist woke ideology by admitting the question would have to be decided by a biologist. It is biology that these people reject. Biology doesn’t base gender on identity.

It's a DISGRACE that Republicans are questioning Jackson on irrelevant subjects like her worldview and judicial record. They should be sticking to the important topics like whether she drank beer in college and if there are any profanities in her high school yearbook.

BIDENOMICS THROWS children INTO POVERTY.
"Child poverty rose from 12.1% in December to 17% in January 2022"
The Three Socialist Stooges voted for it.
I’m Black, I’m Female, I’m 100% anti-pedophilia AND I know what a woman is.
Send ME to the Supreme Court, Joe.
So the heir apparent to the "dumbest fuck of the USSC" was nominated specifically because:
1) She's black
2) She's a woman.
Yet she cannot define what a woman is.
Behold the net result of the infiltration of Affirmative Action into America's law schools.
Wait until it fully infiltrates America's medical schools.
Then we get to watch people DIE as a result.
Whee.
"Child poverty rose from 12.1% in December to 17% in January 2022"
The crazy irony of it all...
Democrats need people to fail in order to make them feel dependent on the Government. If people do better, then they tend to require less from the Government and vote Republican.
So while people wonder why poverty rose under Obama, fell under Trump (pre-covid), and is now exploding back under Biden. You only need to look at the politics of it all.

Yep. Rush Limbaugh often repeated the fact that the democrat party REQUIRES a permanent underclass in order to exist. The worse thing that could possibly happen to the democrat party is for an individual to throw off the yoke of government dependency.
