Ukraine Is a Graveyard for Russian Tanks 1:00 am Wall Street Journal: “Moscow’s forces have lost more than 230 of the heavily armored tracked vehicles since they invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, according to Oryx Blog, an open-source site that tracks military-equipment losses. Many were destroyed. Others were abandoned, captured or damaged, Oryx says.
“Ukraine’s government says it has exacted an even higher toll, claiming to have destroyed more than 400 Russian tanks and many more less-armored military vehicles.

What happened: Eight Republicans voted against legislation on Thursday suspending normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. We asked them all why. Their responses are below (those that did).
Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.): "What this bill did… it actually allows our president to go to almost anybody in the world and if they have a visa, he can take away their visa. He can freeze their assets regardless of whether they have anything to do with Russia whatsoever. He gets to define what a human rights abuse is and he gets to go after anybody he thinks might be committing some sort of human rights abuse." Full statement.Rep.
Lauren Boebert (Colo.): "Congress keeps focusing on distractions abroad and not our own challenges brought on by Joe Biden at home. H.R. 1708 had bad language that could lead to sanctioning ‘human rights abusers’ who simply hold traditional views of life and family and restrict access to abortion. The bill also does nothing to spur domestic energy production.
”Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas): "I generally support the underlying purpose of this bill, and likely would have voted for it had that been the sole focus. ... But I have deep concerns about the provisions of this bill that would permanently empower the President with the unilateral authority to issue sanctions against anyone who he deems responsible for an undefined 'serious human rights abuse.'" Full statement.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) in a floor speech: "We need to focus on our country first. We’re seeing rapidly rising inflation. It’s completely out of control … All we’re hearing on the news is Ukraine, but yet here in America what real Americans care about is gas prices they can’t afford, inflation that goes up and up to where grocery bills are unaffordable, and they’re very concerned about our out-of-control open border. Crime is out of control, but yet Washington is completely disconnected.
”Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.) in a tweet: "It gives the President broad authority to sanction virtually anyone, anywhere in the world, whether they are connected to Russia or not. Interventionists at the State Department are doing the happy dance now."
Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) backed Biggs' rationale in a tweet: "I voted with Biggs for these reasons and others!
One of Donald Trump's top political appointees directed the Department of Homeland Security to investigate voter fraud in the 2020 election -- more than six months before the votes were counted.
Ken Cuccinelli, the former Virginia attorney general who served as deputy secretary of the DHS, asked a senior official in April 2020 to have analysts in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis look for evidence of mail-in voting fraud, which the former president fixated on before and after his re-election loss, reported Politico.
“What makes this inappropriate is that the underlying activity is a fantasy,” said Ben Wittes, a senior fellow in Governance Studies at The Brookings Institution, "and there are no circumstances in which the Intelligence Community should be tasked to collect on fantasies.”
Later in summer 2020 they were tasked with investigating possible hacking of political campaigns, voter intimidation and illegal entry into polling places, and as Election Day neared, DHS investigators were told to look into “attempts to alter, destroy, sell, or hide mail-in ballots,” which were all conspiracy theories amplified by Trump online, during rallies and even in presidential debates.
“The ‘sell, destroy, or hide mail ballots’ — that’s a theoretical conspiracy that I’ve heard talked about, but there’s no evidence that that has occurred,” said Amber McReynolds, a former Colorado election official.
Analysts raised concerns about the directives during a series of listening sessions held in September and October, when voters were already casting ballots.
“People questioned a tasking related to reporting on voter fraud,” read one memo on the sessions that Politico reviewed. “‘Is this criminal activity appropriate for an IC agency?’ Thresholds and priorities are judgment calls from leadership and many people questioned whether taskings were politically motivated.”
“The workforce has a general mistrust of leadership resulting from orders to conduct activities they perceive to be inappropriate, bureaucratic, or political,” the memo added.
My long-term friend, Roger Stone on Thursday revealed his new plan to install Donald Trump into the presidency. Speaking to the Republican Accountability Project, Stone shared his blueprint for, as he sees it, rectifying the crime of Trump's defeat to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Our three-point plan goes as follows:
First, Stone expects the House of Representatives to elect Trump as its Speaker if they retake control of the lower congressional chamber in this year's midterm elections. This is permitted in the United States Constitution. Literally, anybody whom a majority of the House chooses can hold the gavel as long as they meet the basic qualifications for getting elected, which in the House is any citizen 25 years of age and up.
Next, Stone predicts that Biden's Cabinet will invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Over what, he did not say. Because he is Sleepy!
In the final stage, according to Stone, Congress will impeach and remove Vice President Kamala cum swaller Harris for refusing to promote ivermectin, a deworming medication used in horses, as an effective treatment against COVID-19. It is not.
At that point, with Biden and Harris out of office, I will ascend to the presidency via the line of succession.
Anti-Trump National Review has forgotten Buckley's rule
By Francis P. Sempa
William F. Buckley, Jr., in refereeing the internecine political fights within his beloved National Review magazine, laid down a rule, suggested by senior editor James Burnham, that N.R. would support the most rightward viable or electable candidate in presidential elections. In 2016 and 2020, under the editorship of Rich Lowry, N.R. broke Buckley's rule by refusing to support Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. And two years ahead of the 2024 presidential election, N.R. has begun to publish its anti-Trump screeds. We can expect that this will grow into a chorus of N.R.'s voices opposing Trump during the next two years, even if he gains the GOP nomination in 2024.
Over the last three days, N.R. has run anti-Trump pieces by Charles Cooke, Philip Klein, and Andrew McCarthy. McCarthy claims that Trump "cannot win the presidency again" because though "popular in a number of places," he is "poison in most others." Klein argues that Trump's candidacy in the 2024 GOP primaries will benefit the party but only if Trump loses to a GOP challenger. Cooke writes that Trump's presence in the GOP primaries will be "disastrous" to the party's chances to win back the presidency because he will "undermine the process itself" and will "spread pernicious lies about the American electoral system."
In the past, N.R.'s writers jousted with each other over, for example, whether to support Eisenhower for president in 1956; Nixon in 1960; Goldwater, Rockefeller, or Scranton in 1964; Nixon, George Romney, or Reagan in 1968, and on and on through many elections. After the primaries, however, N.R. supported the most rightward viable GOP candidate in the general election against the always more liberal Democratic candidate — until 2016 and 2020 with Donald Trump.
In 1964, establishment Republicans derided N.R.'s support of Goldwater, who lost to Lyndon Johnson in a landslide in the general election. Back then, N.R.'s editors sensed that the Goldwater movement would capture the GOP — which it eventually did when Ronald Reagan was elected president in two landslide elections. In 2016 and 2020, under Lowry's leadership, N.R. returned to the GOP establishment by rejecting the nationalist-populist movement that coalesced around Trump. It did this despite polls that clearly showed that Trump had become the national leader of the GOP and remains the leader of the GOP.
Lowry and his team at N.R. have become increasingly irrelevant to the Republican Party and to the modern American conservative movement. And they have betrayed the legacy of William F. Buckley, Jr.

Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to DatePatients who got the antiparasitic drug didn’t fare better than those who received a placebo
Ivermectin got attention from celebrities including podcast host Joe Rogan, but researchers said they found no indication that it is clinically useful against Covid 19
Researchers testing repurposed drugs against Covid-19 found that ivermectin didn’t reduce hospital admissions, in the largest trial yet of the effect of the antiparasitic on the disease driving the pandemic.
Ivermectin has received a lot of attention as a potential treatment for Covid-19 including from celebrities such as podcast host Joe Rogan. Most evidence has shown it to be ineffective against Covid-19 or has relied on data of poor quality, infectious-disease researchers said. Public-health authorities and researchers have for months said the drug hasn’t shown any benefit in treating the disease. Taking large doses of the drug is dangerous, the Food and Drug Administration has said.
The latest trial, of nearly 1,400 Covid-19 patients at risk of severe disease, is the largest to show that those who received ivermectin as a treatment didn’t fare better than those who received a placebo.
How should the most recent studies on the efficacy of ivermectin against Covid-19 influence its use going forward? Join the conversation below.
“There was no indication that ivermectin is clinically useful,” said Edward Mills, one of the study’s lead researchers and a professor of health sciences at Canada’s McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Dr. Mills on Friday plans to present the findings, which have been accepted for publication in a major peer-reviewed medical journal, at a public forum sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.
The researchers prescribed half of the patients a course of ivermectin pills for three days. The other half received a placebo. They tracked whether the patients were hospitalized within 28 days. The researchers also looked at whether patients on ivermectin cleared the virus from their bodies faster than those who received a placebo, whether their symptoms resolved sooner, whether they were in the hospital or on ventilators for less time and whether there was any difference in the death rates for the two groups.
To make sure they were being thorough, the researchers analyzed the data in three different ways. They looked at data from all patients; then analyzed data from patients who received ivermectin or a placebo 24 hours before they were hospitalized; and in a third review, looked at data from patients who said they had adhered strictly to their dosing schedule. In each scenario, they found ivermectin didn’t improve patient outcomes.
“This is the first large, prospective study that should really help put to rest ivermectin and not give any credibility to the use of it for Covid-19,” said Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, who reviewed the findings.
Ivermectin is used primarily to treat patients with certain parasitic diseases. Some doctors have been prescribing it to Covid-19 patients, and some people have been found ways to obtain ivermectin without a prescription. The drug has antiviral properties, but hasn’t been approved by the FDA to treat any viral infections.
Given its antiviral prospects, scientists early in the pandemic thought it could be a candidate for treating Covid-19. In June 2020, a group of researchers in Australia published a paper showing that large amounts of ivermectin could halt replication of the coronavirus in cell cultures. But there was a problem: To achieve that effect, a person would have to take up to 100 times as much ivermectin as the dose approved for use in humans.
Some studies on ivermectin published in journals or on preprint servers ahead of peer review have demonstrated no benefits, or worsening of Covid-19 symptoms, after ivermectin use. Some have shown some benefit, such as shorter time to symptom resolution, reduction in inflammation, faster viral clearance and lower death rates.
Ivermectin capsules, seen last year in the Philippines, where the drug was distributed in some places despite a lack of evidence to show it prevents or cures Covid-19.
But most studies showing positive effects had significant limitations such as small sample sizes or poorly defined outcomes, according to the NIH. Several studies on ivermectin have been withdrawn from publication, including a randomized controlled trial looking at 100 patients in Lebanon that was retracted by the journal Viruses due to issues with the statistical analysis, according to the journal. Researchers at the NIH and Oxford University also are conducting large trials on the effectiveness of ivermectin, though results haven’t been published.
Dr. Mills said ivermectin could improve outcomes in Covid-19 patients who are fighting off certain parasitic diseases at the same time. But based on his team’s findings, he said, the drug doesn’t seem to have any effect on Covid-19 itself.
Biden and Xi Speak for Almost Two Hours 12:46 pm EDT “President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke for nearly two hours on Friday in a video call that came as the U.S. tries to convince Beijing to distance itself from Russia’s war in Ukraine,” Axios reports.
Xi told Biden that “conflict and confrontation are not in anyone’s interest,” and that the Ukraine crisis was “not something we want to see.”
Ukraine’s Food Supply Chain Is Falling Apart 12:43 pm The United Nations warned that Ukraine’s food supply chain is “falling apart” under stress from Russia’s invasion, potentially undermining food security around the world, Axios reports.
Trump Ready to Pull Endorsement from Mo Brooks 12:13 pm “Former President Donald Trump is on the brink of withdrawing his endorsement from Alabama Senate hopeful Mo Brooks following a series of public and private missteps by the Republican congressman, including back-to-back statements this week in which Brooks declined to affirm Trump’s belief that the 2020 election result can be overturned,” CNN reports.
Said Brooks: “I am baffled by the view that we can do something right now to put Donald Trump into office today. Whoever is giving him that advice is misleading President Trump.”
THE LOSER CAN'T STAND BEING A LOSER, AND WE NEVER HAD A BIGGER LOSER IN THE WHITE HOUSE
But based on his team’s findings, he said, the drug doesn’t seem to have any effect on Covid-19 itself.
I personally know two people - one friend and one friend/co-worker who were prescribed Ivermectin and recovered THANKS TO Ivermectin.
If a Pfizer Veterinarian who I do not know can insist that I need a 4th shot so he can amass more wealth, then a local Doc who I do personally know is someone I'll listen to if he/she prescribes Ivermectin.

HAPPENING NOW About 130 rescued from rubble of Mariupol theater; New strikes hit Kyiv, Lviv
Putin vows Russia will prevail in Ukraine but glitch hinders TV 11:25 AM LONDON (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin justified the invasion of Ukraine before a packed soccer stadium on Friday but coverage of his speech on state television was unexpectedly interrupted by what the Kremlin said was a technical problem with a server.
Speaking on a stage at the centre of Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium, Putin promised to tens of thousands of people waving Russian flags and chanting "Russia, Russia, Russia" that all of the Kremlin's aims would be achieved.
"We know what we need to do, how to do it and at what cost. And we will absolutely accomplish all of our plans," Putin, 69, told the rally from a stage decked out with slogans such as "For a world without Nazism" and "For our president".
Dressed in a turtleneck and coat, Putin said the soldiers fighting in what Russia calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine had illustrated the unity of Russia.
"Shoulder to shoulder, they help each other, support each other and when needed they shield each other from bullets with their bodies like brothers. Such unity we have not had for a long time," Putin said.
As he was talking, state television briefly cut away from his speech and showed earlier pre-recorded footage of patriotic songs, but he later appeared back on state television.
RIA news agency cited Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying a technical fault on a server was the reason state television had suddenly cut away from Putin.
Putin says the operation in Ukraine was necessary because the United States was using the country to threaten Russia and Russia had to defend against the "genocide" of Russian-speaking people by Ukraine.
Ukraine says it is fighting for its existence and that Putin's claims of genocide are nonsense. The West says claims it wants to rip Russia apart are fiction.
Before Putin spoke, Russia's stirring national anthem, with the words "Russia is our sacred state" boomed out across the stands of the stadium used in the 2018 Soccer World Cup along with more modern pop hits such as "Made in the U.S.S.R.".
Pan-Slavist poetry by Fyodor Tyutchev, whose verses warned Russians that they would always be considered slaves of the Enlightenment by Europeans, was read out.
Putin quoted Russia's brilliant 18th century naval commander, Fyodor Ushakov.
"He once said that these thunderstorms will go to the glory of Russia," Putin said. "That is the way it was then, that is the way it is now and it will always be that way. Thank you."
Scott, yes. But too often, right now, the Republicans are trying to make it more difficult to register to vote if you are multi racial with carefully written rules to register. Especially if you have a low income, to get the IDs. And mail ballots, but there was almost zero evidence of fraud.
You know, this "old geezer" does not dread and fear (as you do) an America that will be more black, brown, yellow, and red than white. We can then perhaps better fulfill our destiny as a world country striving for liberty and justice for all and a government that is of, by and FOR all the people, not just for the rich.
But too often, right now, the Republicans are trying to make it more difficult to register to vote if you are multi racial with carefully written rules to register.
If this is as real and as widespread as you have incessantly claimed, you should be able to provide at least a single verifiable example.

Ummmm..... no!
It is not difficult for any US Citizen to register to vote anywhere in this county. It might be difficult for someone with no address, no job, no bank, no identification, no way to prove that they exist...
But it is super easy for anyone to register to vote.
And Roger... 20 different distinct rulings now that prove election problems in the 2020 election covering multiple states. There are counties in Georgia that were sooo off that the law says that state will have to take over the counting in these counties. Wisconsin legislature is considering a bill that would decertify their results due to allegations of bribery and other problems. 200,000 ballots were questionable in Arizona. There are legal investigations in several states surrounding illegal ballot harvesting issues, including dozens of nursing homes and medical facilities where people were filling out ballots for people who were legally mentally invalid.
So there is more proof of fraud (just in 2020 alone) than there is that you have an above average IQ.

Please post a few of them so we all know WTF you are lying about!!!!!! And your Georgia statement.......PURE BULLSHIT!!!! Sorry sport all those case brought by trumps team all were tossed with many judges admonishing the filers........Your ballot harvesting guano is nothing but echoing the GOP bullshit with virtually nothing ever proved.....Opinions sadly Lil Schitty.....do not prove fraud and esppecillay the crap you just posted!!
It is not hard for me to visualize this opinion about Lil Schitty and his party on what is coming down the pipe and probably shortly as the trump party continues to reverse Biden's good work on the handling of Ukraine.....why is the GOP such a party of fucking asssholes not willing to work with anyone? Only impede everything and vote no....

Republicans slapped blue-and-yellow flag pins on their Jos. A. Bank suits and took a short break from anti-vaccine bleating and blaming President Biden for global inflation. This moment of unity looked promising; who could miss all those congressional Republicans cheering as loudly as Democrats during Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to Congress? It cannot last. Republican leaders are desperately trying to find a weak spot in Biden’s handling of this war. Even if there is unity for a moment, they will soon lay any mistake, or misstep, or outcome where the Russians prevail at Biden’s doorstep. If that sounds cynical, I would ask: Have you met my former party?
It wants to play the most beloved game in the GOP playbook: that the Democrats are weak on defense. In my decades as a GOP ad maker and strategist, I made some pretty notorious ads about it. And I can tell you they work. Democrats too often miss the optics and politics of foreign policy, hoping good choices will outweigh the dark, emotional games Republicans like to play when it comes to national security. Republicans specialize at turning Democratic successes overseas into disasters. It’s a slow-burn strategy designed to trigger an outrage culture that doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. GOP leaders don’t care about reality; their audience doesn’t care about the truth, and their political media apparatus always stays on message.

Republicans Pressing Biden to Do More Voted Against Aid 1:10 pm EDT Washington Post: “More than two dozen Senate Republicans are demanding that President Biden do more to aid war-torn Ukraine and arm its forces against Russia’s brutal assault, after voting last week against $13.6 billion in military and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine.”
MEANWHILE, Biden Warned China If It Provides Weapons to Russia
In a video call Friday morning that lasted nearly two hours, President Biden “described the implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians,” the Washington Post reports.
“The call was part of an urgent U.S. effort to head off any Chinese moves to provide economic or military help to Russia as America and its allies try to shut down Moscow’s financial lifelines.
“There was little indication, however, that Xi was receptive to Biden’s entreaties that his country not come to Russia’s aid.”
U.S. Sends ‘Kamikaze’ Drones to Ukraine 2:59 pm “Switchblade drones are among the military support items President Biden announced yesterday in an $800 million package for Ukraine,” Axios reports.
“Unlike the large drones the U.S. military uses for reconnaissance and deploying weapons against targets, these tiny Switchblades are themselves the weapon.”

Ohio Republicans Mull Impeaching Chief Justice 1:45 pm Ohio Republicans are discussing whether to impeach Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor after the Ohio Supreme Court rejected a third set of legislative maps, the Columbus Dispatch reports.
“O’Connor, a Republican, is seen as an independent voice on the court and sided with Democrat justices to throw out multiple sets of maps, arguing they did not comply with constitutional rules for redistricting. That’s increasingly made her a target of fellow party members who contend she’s shirking her responsibilities.” ________

McCarthy Would Boot Schiff from Intelligence Panel 1:39 pm House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Republicans would boot House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) from the committee altogether if they attained the majority in the midterms, The Hill reports.
Said McCarthy: “You cannot make this committee political, you cannot use it as a position of chairman to lie, and you should be focused on what the American people want you to be focused on around the world.” _______
You mean like constantly lying about who won the election and voting against financially undergirding the support for Ukraine?
Big Federal Utility Undermines Biden’s Climate Goals 5:00 pm “The nation’s largest federally owned utility plans to invest more than $3.5 billion in new gas-burning electric plants, despite President Biden’s commitment to swiftly move away from fossil fuels and eliminate greenhouse gases from the power sector in a little more than a decade,” the New York Times reports.
“The Tennessee Valley Authority, which provides electricity to nearly 10 million people across the Southeast, is replacing aging power plants that run on coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel. But critics say substituting gas for coal would lock in decades of additional carbon dioxide emissions that are heating the planet and could be avoided by generating more electricity from solar, wind or another renewable source.
“It marks the second time in recent months that a federal entity has clashed with Mr. Biden’s climate agenda. The United States Postal Service is replacing 165,000 aging mail trucks with mostly gasoline-powered vehicles, despite the desire of the White House and leading Democrats to convert the fleet to all-electric vehicles.”
Taegan Goddard points out that: "Both the Postal Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority have boards dominated by members nominated by former President Donald Trump." __________
Trump will go down in history as the most backward-looking of our Presidents.

Future generations will look back at these dark days of Trump shaking their heads in incomprehnsion at how so many Americans followed Trump like trusting sheep to an ecological slaughter that will affect us all for years and years to come.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Keep wishing for a recession.....asshole...Yep, inflation proof because I have planned my retirement and have a very comfortable stream coming in....unlike you who can't rub 2 dimes together!!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! While the goat fucker roots against America......the world laughs at how stupid and selfish he is!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL.
THE SKY IS FALLING ACCORDING TO OUR CHICKEN LITTLE SHITS OF THE RIGHT!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
The potential problem for the yield curve’s track record is that just looking at the U.S. economy, things aren’t that bad. Inflation is at a 40-year high, but the labor market is strong and policy makers were abundantly clear on Wednesday that they plan to get price pressures under control.
That will come at the expense of growth at some degree, but Fed officials still expect the economy to expand by 2.8% this year and 2% in 2023 — a historically healthy pace.
There are still plenty of worrywarts out there. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. sees the odds of a U.S. recession as high as 35% in the next year, while Grant Thornton’s Diane Swonk sees the twin blow of Fed tightening and higher oil prices potentially tipping the economy into a recession.
BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Facts and the goat fucker do not exist together!!!!!!! Keep rooting for a recession....the GOP way of ruining the country while blaming everyone but themselves....just like Putin!!!!!

Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, has a soft spot for child predators By Andrea Widburg
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is Joe Biden's nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer when he leaves the Supreme Court. Biden selected her because she's a Black woman. He might wish he'd vetted her better than that. It turns out that Jackson, like so many leftists, has a completely unwholesome interest in children and sex. In Jackson's case, this takes the form of desperately trying to lessen sentences for pedophiles and child pornographers.
I must admit that when I first heard that Jackson was campaigning against excessive penalties for people convicted of pedophile-type crimes, I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. There have been cases in which overzealous prosecutors have abused statutory rape laws.
There was an infamous case in Texas many years ago (that I can't find online right now) that saw a young man prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law because he and his girlfriend were almost the same age, but he continued to have sex with her after he turned 18. (Many states now have exceptions to statutory rape for people close in age.) The laws may also be applied unequally depending on whether the older person is male or female.
However, Jackson isn’t interested in these marginal cases. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) did some digging into Jackson's records and discovered that she seeks blanket relief for hardcore pedophiles and child pornographers:

What happened: Eight Republicans voted against legislation on Thursday suspending normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. We asked them all why. Their responses are below (those that did).
Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.): "What this bill did… it actually allows our president to go to almost anybody in the world and if they have a visa, he can take away their visa. He can freeze their assets regardless of whether they have anything to do with Russia whatsoever. He gets to define what a human rights abuse is and he gets to go after anybody he thinks might be committing some sort of human rights abuse." Full statement.Rep.
Lauren Boebert (Colo.): "Congress keeps focusing on distractions abroad and not our own challenges brought on by Joe Biden at home. H.R. 1708 had bad language that could lead to sanctioning ‘human rights abusers’ who simply hold traditional views of life and family and restrict access to abortion. The bill also does nothing to spur domestic energy production.
”Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas): "I generally support the underlying purpose of this bill, and likely would have voted for it had that been the sole focus. ... But I have deep concerns about the provisions of this bill that would permanently empower the President with the unilateral authority to issue sanctions against anyone who he deems responsible for an undefined 'serious human rights abuse.'" Full statement.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) in a floor speech: "We need to focus on our country first. We’re seeing rapidly rising inflation. It’s completely out of control … All we’re hearing on the news is Ukraine, but yet here in America what real Americans care about is gas prices they can’t afford, inflation that goes up and up to where grocery bills are unaffordable, and they’re very concerned about our out-of-control open border. Crime is out of control, but yet Washington is completely disconnected.
”Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.) in a tweet: "It gives the President broad authority to sanction virtually anyone, anywhere in the world, whether they are connected to Russia or not. Interventionists at the State Department are doing the happy dance now."
Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) backed Biggs' rationale in a tweet: "I voted with Biggs for these reasons and others!
"Rep. Dan Bishop (N.C.)Rep. Glenn Grothman (Wis.)
Looney tunes
This is fascism.
One of Donald Trump's top political appointees directed the Department of Homeland Security to investigate voter fraud in the 2020 election -- more than six months before the votes were counted.
Ken Cuccinelli, the former Virginia attorney general who served as deputy secretary of the DHS, asked a senior official in April 2020 to have analysts in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis look for evidence of mail-in voting fraud, which the former president fixated on before and after his re-election loss, reported Politico.
“What makes this inappropriate is that the underlying activity is a fantasy,” said Ben Wittes, a senior fellow in Governance Studies at The Brookings Institution, "and there are no circumstances in which the Intelligence Community should be tasked to collect on fantasies.”
Later in summer 2020 they were tasked with investigating possible hacking of political campaigns, voter intimidation and illegal entry into polling places, and as Election Day neared, DHS investigators were told to look into “attempts to alter, destroy, sell, or hide mail-in ballots,” which were all conspiracy theories amplified by Trump online, during rallies and even in presidential debates.
“The ‘sell, destroy, or hide mail ballots’ — that’s a theoretical conspiracy that I’ve heard talked about, but there’s no evidence that that has occurred,” said Amber McReynolds, a former Colorado election official.
Analysts raised concerns about the directives during a series of listening sessions held in September and October, when voters were already casting ballots.
“People questioned a tasking related to reporting on voter fraud,” read one memo on the sessions that Politico reviewed. “‘Is this criminal activity appropriate for an IC agency?’ Thresholds and priorities are judgment calls from leadership and many people questioned whether taskings were politically motivated.”
“The workforce has a general mistrust of leadership resulting from orders to conduct activities they perceive to be inappropriate, bureaucratic, or political,” the memo added.

God The leftist are boring .
My long-term friend, Roger Stone on Thursday revealed his new plan to install Donald Trump into the presidency. Speaking to the Republican Accountability Project, Stone shared his blueprint for, as he sees it, rectifying the crime of Trump's defeat to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Our three-point plan goes as follows:
First, Stone expects the House of Representatives to elect Trump as its Speaker if they retake control of the lower congressional chamber in this year's midterm elections. This is permitted in the United States Constitution. Literally, anybody whom a majority of the House chooses can hold the gavel as long as they meet the basic qualifications for getting elected, which in the House is any citizen 25 years of age and up.
Next, Stone predicts that Biden's Cabinet will invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Over what, he did not say. Because he is Sleepy!
In the final stage, according to Stone, Congress will impeach and remove Vice President Kamala cum swaller Harris for refusing to promote ivermectin, a deworming medication used in horses, as an effective treatment against COVID-19. It is not.
At that point, with Biden and Harris out of office, I will ascend to the presidency via the line of succession.
Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations

Anti-Trump National Review has forgotten Buckley's rule
By Francis P. Sempa
William F. Buckley, Jr., in refereeing the internecine political fights within his beloved National Review magazine, laid down a rule, suggested by senior editor James Burnham, that N.R. would support the most rightward viable or electable candidate in presidential elections. In 2016 and 2020, under the editorship of Rich Lowry, N.R. broke Buckley's rule by refusing to support Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. And two years ahead of the 2024 presidential election, N.R. has begun to publish its anti-Trump screeds. We can expect that this will grow into a chorus of N.R.'s voices opposing Trump during the next two years, even if he gains the GOP nomination in 2024.
Over the last three days, N.R. has run anti-Trump pieces by Charles Cooke, Philip Klein, and Andrew McCarthy. McCarthy claims that Trump "cannot win the presidency again" because though "popular in a number of places," he is "poison in most others." Klein argues that Trump's candidacy in the 2024 GOP primaries will benefit the party but only if Trump loses to a GOP challenger. Cooke writes that Trump's presence in the GOP primaries will be "disastrous" to the party's chances to win back the presidency because he will "undermine the process itself" and will "spread pernicious lies about the American electoral system."
In the past, N.R.'s writers jousted with each other over, for example, whether to support Eisenhower for president in 1956; Nixon in 1960; Goldwater, Rockefeller, or Scranton in 1964; Nixon, George Romney, or Reagan in 1968, and on and on through many elections. After the primaries, however, N.R. supported the most rightward viable GOP candidate in the general election against the always more liberal Democratic candidate — until 2016 and 2020 with Donald Trump.
In 1964, establishment Republicans derided N.R.'s support of Goldwater, who lost to Lyndon Johnson in a landslide in the general election. Back then, N.R.'s editors sensed that the Goldwater movement would capture the GOP — which it eventually did when Ronald Reagan was elected president in two landslide elections. In 2016 and 2020, under Lowry's leadership, N.R. returned to the GOP establishment by rejecting the nationalist-populist movement that coalesced around Trump. It did this despite polls that clearly showed that Trump had become the national leader of the GOP and remains the leader of the GOP.
Lowry and his team at N.R. have become increasingly irrelevant to the Republican Party and to the modern American conservative movement. And they have betrayed the legacy of William F. Buckley, Jr.

Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to DatePatients who got the antiparasitic drug didn’t fare better than those who received a placebo
Ivermectin got attention from celebrities including podcast host Joe Rogan, but researchers said they found no indication that it is clinically useful against Covid 19
Researchers testing repurposed drugs against Covid-19 found that ivermectin didn’t reduce hospital admissions, in the largest trial yet of the effect of the antiparasitic on the disease driving the pandemic.
Ivermectin has received a lot of attention as a potential treatment for Covid-19 including from celebrities such as podcast host Joe Rogan. Most evidence has shown it to be ineffective against Covid-19 or has relied on data of poor quality, infectious-disease researchers said. Public-health authorities and researchers have for months said the drug hasn’t shown any benefit in treating the disease. Taking large doses of the drug is dangerous, the Food and Drug Administration has said.
The latest trial, of nearly 1,400 Covid-19 patients at risk of severe disease, is the largest to show that those who received ivermectin as a treatment didn’t fare better than those who received a placebo.
How should the most recent studies on the efficacy of ivermectin against Covid-19 influence its use going forward? Join the conversation below.
“There was no indication that ivermectin is clinically useful,” said Edward Mills, one of the study’s lead researchers and a professor of health sciences at Canada’s McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Dr. Mills on Friday plans to present the findings, which have been accepted for publication in a major peer-reviewed medical journal, at a public forum sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.
The researchers prescribed half of the patients a course of ivermectin pills for three days. The other half received a placebo. They tracked whether the patients were hospitalized within 28 days. The researchers also looked at whether patients on ivermectin cleared the virus from their bodies faster than those who received a placebo, whether their symptoms resolved sooner, whether they were in the hospital or on ventilators for less time and whether there was any difference in the death rates for the two groups.
To make sure they were being thorough, the researchers analyzed the data in three different ways. They looked at data from all patients; then analyzed data from patients who received ivermectin or a placebo 24 hours before they were hospitalized; and in a third review, looked at data from patients who said they had adhered strictly to their dosing schedule. In each scenario, they found ivermectin didn’t improve patient outcomes.
“This is the first large, prospective study that should really help put to rest ivermectin and not give any credibility to the use of it for Covid-19,” said Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, who reviewed the findings.
Ivermectin is used primarily to treat patients with certain parasitic diseases. Some doctors have been prescribing it to Covid-19 patients, and some people have been found ways to obtain ivermectin without a prescription. The drug has antiviral properties, but hasn’t been approved by the FDA to treat any viral infections.
Given its antiviral prospects, scientists early in the pandemic thought it could be a candidate for treating Covid-19. In June 2020, a group of researchers in Australia published a paper showing that large amounts of ivermectin could halt replication of the coronavirus in cell cultures. But there was a problem: To achieve that effect, a person would have to take up to 100 times as much ivermectin as the dose approved for use in humans.
Some studies on ivermectin published in journals or on preprint servers ahead of peer review have demonstrated no benefits, or worsening of Covid-19 symptoms, after ivermectin use. Some have shown some benefit, such as shorter time to symptom resolution, reduction in inflammation, faster viral clearance and lower death rates.
Ivermectin capsules, seen last year in the Philippines, where the drug was distributed in some places despite a lack of evidence to show it prevents or cures Covid-19.
But most studies showing positive effects had significant limitations such as small sample sizes or poorly defined outcomes, according to the NIH. Several studies on ivermectin have been withdrawn from publication, including a randomized controlled trial looking at 100 patients in Lebanon that was retracted by the journal Viruses due to issues with the statistical analysis, according to the journal. Researchers at the NIH and Oxford University also are conducting large trials on the effectiveness of ivermectin, though results haven’t been published.
Dr. Mills said ivermectin could improve outcomes in Covid-19 patients who are fighting off certain parasitic diseases at the same time. But based on his team’s findings, he said, the drug doesn’t seem to have any effect on Covid-19 itself.

“Former President Donald Trump is on the brink of withdrawing his endorsement from Alabama Senate hopeful Mo Brooks following a series of public and private missteps by the Republican congressman, including back-to-back statements this week in which Brooks declined to affirm Trump’s belief that the 2020 election result can be overturned,” CNN reports.
Said Brooks:
“I am baffled by the view that we can do something right now to put Donald Trump into office today. Whoever is giving him that advice is misleading President Trump.”
THE LOSER CAN'T STAND BEING A LOSER, AND WE NEVER HAD A BIGGER LOSER IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Putin vows Russia will prevail in Ukraine but glitch hinders TV
11:25 AM
LONDON (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin justified the invasion of Ukraine before a packed soccer stadium on Friday but coverage of his speech on state television was unexpectedly interrupted by what the Kremlin said was a technical problem with a server.
Speaking on a stage at the centre of Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium, Putin promised to tens of thousands of people waving Russian flags and chanting "Russia, Russia, Russia" that all of the Kremlin's aims would be achieved.
"We know what we need to do, how to do it and at what cost. And we will absolutely accomplish all of our plans," Putin, 69, told the rally from a stage decked out with slogans such as "For a world without Nazism" and "For our president".
Dressed in a turtleneck and coat, Putin said the soldiers fighting in what Russia calls its "special military operation" in Ukraine had illustrated the unity of Russia.
"Shoulder to shoulder, they help each other, support each other and when needed they shield each other from bullets with their bodies like brothers. Such unity we have not had for a long time," Putin said.
As he was talking, state television briefly cut away from his speech and showed earlier pre-recorded footage of patriotic songs, but he later appeared back on state television.
RIA news agency cited Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying a technical fault on a server was the reason state television had suddenly cut away from Putin.
Putin says the operation in Ukraine was necessary because the United States was using the country to threaten Russia and Russia had to defend against the "genocide" of Russian-speaking people by Ukraine.
Ukraine says it is fighting for its existence and that Putin's claims of genocide are nonsense. The West says claims it wants to rip Russia apart are fiction.
Before Putin spoke, Russia's stirring national anthem, with the words "Russia is our sacred state" boomed out across the stands of the stadium used in the 2018 Soccer World Cup along with more modern pop hits such as "Made in the U.S.S.R.".
Pan-Slavist poetry by Fyodor Tyutchev, whose verses warned Russians that they would always be considered slaves of the Enlightenment by Europeans, was read out.
Putin quoted Russia's brilliant 18th century naval commander, Fyodor Ushakov.
"He once said that these thunderstorms will go to the glory of Russia," Putin said. "That is the way it was then, that is the way it is now and it will always be that way. Thank you."
Scott, yes. But too often, right now, the Republicans are trying to make it more difficult to register to vote if you are multi racial with carefully written rules to register. Especially if you have a low income, to get the IDs. And mail ballots, but there was almost zero evidence of fraud.
You know, this "old geezer" does not dread and fear (as you do) an America that will be more black, brown, yellow, and red than white. We can then perhaps better fulfill our destiny as a world country striving for liberty and justice for all and a government that is of, by and FOR all the people, not just for the rich.
But too often, right now, the Republicans are trying to make it more difficult to register to vote if you are multi racial with carefully written rules to register.

Ummmm..... no!
It is not difficult for any US Citizen to register to vote anywhere in this county. It might be difficult for someone with no address, no job, no bank, no identification, no way to prove that they exist...
But it is super easy for anyone to register to vote.
And Roger... 20 different distinct rulings now that prove election problems in the 2020 election covering multiple states. There are counties in Georgia that were sooo off that the law says that state will have to take over the counting in these counties. Wisconsin legislature is considering a bill that would decertify their results due to allegations of bribery and other problems. 200,000 ballots were questionable in Arizona. There are legal investigations in several states surrounding illegal ballot harvesting issues, including dozens of nursing homes and medical facilities where people were filling out ballots for people who were legally mentally invalid.
So there is more proof of fraud (just in 2020 alone) than there is that you have an above average IQ.

It is not hard for me to visualize this opinion about Lil Schitty and his party on what is coming down the pipe and probably shortly as the trump party continues to reverse Biden's good work on the handling of Ukraine.....why is the GOP such a party of fucking asssholes not willing to work with anyone?

Rick Wilson is a former Republican political strategist and co-founder of the Lincoln Project.
The American politics of Russia’s war on Ukraine look calm on the surface but are about to get ugly.
Sign up for a weekly roundup of thought-provoking ideas and debates
Republicans slapped blue-and-yellow flag pins on their Jos. A. Bank suits and took a short break from anti-vaccine bleating and blaming President Biden for global inflation. This moment of unity looked promising; who could miss all those congressional Republicans cheering as loudly as Democrats during Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to Congress?
It cannot last. Republican leaders are desperately trying to find a weak spot in Biden’s handling of this war. Even if there is unity for a moment, they will soon lay any mistake, or misstep, or outcome where the Russians prevail at Biden’s doorstep.
If that sounds cynical, I would ask: Have you met my former party?
It wants to play the most beloved game in the GOP playbook: that the Democrats are weak on defense. In my decades as a GOP ad maker and strategist, I made some pretty notorious ads about it. And I can tell you they work.
Democrats too often miss the optics and politics of foreign policy, hoping good choices will outweigh the dark, emotional games Republicans like to play when it comes to national security.
Republicans specialize at turning Democratic successes overseas into disasters. It’s a slow-burn strategy designed to trigger an outrage culture that doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. GOP leaders don’t care about reality; their audience doesn’t care about the truth, and their political media apparatus always stays on message.

Republicans Pressing Biden to Do More Voted Against Aid
1:10 pm EDT
Washington Post:
“More than two dozen Senate Republicans are demanding that President Biden do more to aid war-torn Ukraine and arm its forces against Russia’s brutal assault, after voting last week against $13.6 billion in military and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine.”
MEANWHILE,
Biden Warned China If It Provides Weapons to Russia
In a video call Friday morning that lasted nearly two hours, President Biden “described the implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians,” the Washington Post reports.
“The call was part of an urgent U.S. effort to head off any Chinese moves to provide economic or military help to Russia as America and its allies try to shut down Moscow’s financial lifelines.
“There was little indication, however, that Xi was receptive to Biden’s entreaties that his country not come to Russia’s aid.”

Big Federal Utility Undermines Biden’s Climate Goals
5:00 pm
“The nation’s largest federally owned utility plans to invest more than $3.5 billion in new gas-burning electric plants, despite President Biden’s commitment to swiftly move away from fossil fuels and eliminate greenhouse gases from the power sector in a little more than a decade,” the New York Times reports.
“The Tennessee Valley Authority, which provides electricity to nearly 10 million people across the Southeast, is replacing aging power plants that run on coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel. But critics say substituting gas for coal would lock in decades of additional carbon dioxide emissions that are heating the planet and could be avoided by generating more electricity from solar, wind or another renewable source.
“It marks the second time in recent months that a federal entity has clashed with Mr. Biden’s climate agenda. The United States Postal Service is replacing 165,000 aging mail trucks with mostly gasoline-powered vehicles, despite the desire of the White House and leading Democrats to convert the fleet to all-electric vehicles.”
Taegan Goddard points out that:
"Both the Postal Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority have boards dominated by members nominated by former President Donald Trump."

THE SKY IS FALLING ACCORDING TO OUR CHICKEN LITTLE SHITS OF THE RIGHT!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
The potential problem for the yield curve’s track record is that just looking at the U.S. economy, things aren’t that bad. Inflation is at a 40-year high, but the labor market is strong and policy makers were abundantly clear on Wednesday that they plan to get price pressures under control.
That will come at the expense of growth at some degree, but Fed officials still expect the economy to expand by 2.8% this year and 2% in 2023 — a historically healthy pace.
There are still plenty of worrywarts out there. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. sees the odds of a U.S. recession as high as 35% in the next year, while Grant Thornton’s Diane Swonk sees the twin blow of Fed tightening and higher oil prices potentially tipping the economy into a recession.

So you are one of the six people left in the United States who believes that the economy is "doing well"?
Partly because of higher food prices, the World Bank last month raised its forecast for global inflation in 2022 to 3.3% from its estimate last May of 2.3%.Feb 27, 2022"
Biden made good on his Debate promise.
""Number one, no more subsidies for fossil fuel industry. No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period, ends, number one."
Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, has a soft spot for child predators
By Andrea Widburg
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is Joe Biden's nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer when he leaves the Supreme Court. Biden selected her because she's a Black woman. He might wish he'd vetted her better than that. It turns out that Jackson, like so many leftists, has a completely unwholesome interest in children and sex. In Jackson's case, this takes the form of desperately trying to lessen sentences for pedophiles and child pornographers.
I must admit that when I first heard that Jackson was campaigning against excessive penalties for people convicted of pedophile-type crimes, I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. There have been cases in which overzealous prosecutors have abused statutory rape laws.
There was an infamous case in Texas many years ago (that I can't find online right now) that saw a young man prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law because he and his girlfriend were almost the same age, but he continued to have sex with her after he turned 18. (Many states now have exceptions to statutory rape for people close in age.) The laws may also be applied unequally depending on whether the older person is male or female.
However, Jackson isn’t interested in these marginal cases. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) did some digging into Jackson's records and discovered that she seeks blanket relief for hardcore pedophiles and child pornographers:
Go figure. Affirmative action for paedophiles
