Finland Formally Announces It Wants to Join NATO May 15, 2022 at 6:59 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 18 Comments
“A senior NATO official said Sunday that Russia’s military advance in Ukraine appears to be faltering and he expressed hope that Kyiv can win the war, as Russia’s neighbor Finland announced it wants to join the Western military alliance,” the AP reports.
“Top NATO diplomats are meeting Sunday in Berlin to discuss providing further support to Ukraine and moves by Finland, Sweden and others* to join NATO in the face of threats from Russia.”
Washington Post: Russia is furious that Finland is joining NATO but can’t do much about it. ______
WE WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN ROOTIN FOR POOTIN REJOICE! _____ *AND "OTHERS"? WHO ARE THOSE OTHERS?
Finland has formally confirmed it intends to join Nato, abandoning decades of military non-alignment in a historic decision triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Finland is applying for Nato membership,” said the country’s president, Sauli Niinistö, at a press conference. “A protected Finland is being born as part of a stable, strong and responsible Nordic region. We gain security and we also share it. It’s good to keep in mind that security isn’t a zero-sum game.”

Russia‑Ukraine war: Finland will apply for Nato membership; missile strike destroys Lviv military facility – live
The prime minister, Sanna Marin, said the proposal would now be sent to parliament for ratification. “Our decision is historic,” she said. “As a member of Nato, we will also be responsible for the security of the alliance as a whole.”
With neighbouring Sweden’s ruling party also holding a decisive meeting on whether to join the 30-member defensive alliance next week, Moscow’s onslaught on Ukraine looks set to usher in the expansion of Nato that Vladimir Putin claimed he wanted to prevent.
Finland shares an 810-mile (1,300km) border with Russia and, like Sweden, has maintained strict policies of neutrality then non-alignment since the end of the second world war, viewing Nato membership as a provocation of Moscow.
However, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February has led to a profound change in its thinking, with public support for Nato accession trebling to about 75%. Polls show a majority of between 50 and 60% are also in favour in Sweden.
Three days after Finland’s leaders said it “must apply for Nato membership without delay”, the membership proposal is expected to be laid before parliament for ratification on Monday.
Statement by President Biden on Mass Shooting in Buffalo, New York
MAY 14, 2022STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Tonight, we grieve for the families of ten people whose lives were senselessly taken and everyone who is suffering the physical and emotional wounds of this horrific shooting. We are grateful for the bravery of members of law enforcement and other first responders who took immediate action to try to protect and save lives. The First Lady and I are praying for the victims and their families, and hearts all across this country are with the people of Buffalo.
We still need to learn more about the motivation for today’s shooting as law enforcement does its work, but we don’t need anything else to state a clear moral truth: A racially motivated hate crime is abhorrent to the very fabric of this nation. Any act of domestic terrorism, including an act perpetrated in the name of a repugnant white nationalist ideology, is antithetical to everything we stand for in America. Hate must have no safe harbor. We must do everything in our power to end hate-fueled domestic terrorism.
The Minority Leader believes that the people of Ukraine matters more than brown skinned people at the Mexican border.
WASHINGTON — Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader, visited Ukraine on Saturday to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky, leading the latest delegation of American lawmakers to the country as the United States deepens its commitment to Kyiv’s fight against the Russian invasion.
The surprise visit by Mr. McConnell, who was accompanied by three other Republican senators, comes as the Senate is working to pass a $40 billion emergency military and humanitarian aid package for Ukraine. It follows a string of other clandestine visits, including by the first lady, Jill Biden, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The trip, a rare international visit for Mr. McConnell, highlights the widespread bipartisan support for Ukraine in Washington as the country tries to fend off Russia’s invasion, even as questions remain about the Biden administration’s overall strategy toward the conflict and the scope of American assistance.

Thousands Kick Off ‘Summer of Rage’ May 15, 2022 at 8:09 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
“Thousands of abortion rights supporters rallied across the United States on Saturday, angered by the prospect that the Supreme Court may soon overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide a half century ago,” Reuters reports.
“The protests kicked off what organizers predict will be a ‘summer of rage’ ignited by the May 2 disclosure of a draft opinion showing the court’s conservative majority ready to reverse the 1973 ruling that established a woman’s constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy.”
How America Lost One Million People May 15, 2022 at 8:07 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 0 Comments
New York Times: “The magnitude of the country’s loss is nearly impossible to grasp.
“More Americans have died of Covid-19 than in two decades of car crashes or on battlefields in all of the country’s wars combined.”
“Experts say deaths were all but inevitable from a new virus of such severity and transmissibility.
"Yet, one million dead is a stunning toll, even for a country the size of the United States, and the true number is almost certainly higher because of undercounting.”
“It is the result of many factors, including elected officials* who played down the threat posed by the coronavirus** and resisted safety measures;*** a decentralized, overburdened health care system that struggled with testing, tracing and treatment; and lower vaccination and booster rates than other rich countries, partly the result of widespread mistrust and resistance fanned by right-wing media and politicians****.”

Finland’s leaders on Sunday officially announced the country’s intention to join the NATO alliance, a decision spurred by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine after decades of Finnish military nonalignment.
Speaking at a news conference, the nation’s president said it was a “historic day.”
“I would like to point out the function of Finnish democracy here — ordinary people with their opinions, political parties, government, parliament, they have shown how strong Finnish democracy is,” President Sauli Niinisto said. “Finland will maximize its security.
“We have reached today an important decision,” Prime Minister Sanna Marin said. “We hope that the Parliament will confirm the decision to apply for NATO membership during the coming days. It will be based on a strong mandate.”
“In Finland, we still have the parliamentary process ahead of us, but I trust the Parliament will debate this historic decision with determination and responsibility.”
The country’s leaders said Thursday that Finland must seek to join NATO without delay, but the formal decision came after the president and a committee on foreign and security policy finalized a report on Finland’s accession to the alliance. The report will be submitted to Parliament on Monday.
,Finland and Sweden, which is also moving toward membership, have remained outside the 30-country alliance since its establishment in 1949 73 years ago. The two countries reassessed their positions following Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.

What is criminal is the Trump led GOP for sooooo long ignored the potential crisis hoping it would go away on its own.....Many here still hold that covid is not serious and nothing to worry about.....talk about sheeples following the talking points!!!!
The report in the Washington Post noted the warning by “a senior administration official” during a background briefing. The report stated: “In forecasting 100 million potential infections during a cold-weather wave later this year and early next, the official did not present new data or make a formal projection. Instead, he described the fall and winter wave as a scenario based on a range of outside models of the pandemic. Those projections assume that omicron and its subvariants will continue to dominate community spread, and there will not be a dramatically different strain of the virus, the official said, acknowledging the pandemic’s course could be altered by many factors.”
100 million, huh? Oddly enough, that’s just about the number of mail-in votes Democrats will likely receive in the mid-term elections. Weird how that works.
He ignored the crisis by fast tracking the vaccine development and its distribution. Even our dementia president is trying to take credit for it. Well done president Trump.
WOW, the leftist bottom dwellers are real upset today !!!

The “one nation under God” to which we pledge allegiance was born in Philadelphia’s Old State House. The expansion of that nation to the continent was secured by American control of the Forks of the Ohio at Fort Pitt.
Now the wrecking ball called Donald Trump is demolishing what was built in Pennsylvania, and the damage is vividly on display in the Keystone State itself.
As the May 17 Pennsylvania party primaries approach, it’s clear that Trumpism has reduced what was once a powerful and moderate state Republican Party to a rotten receptacle filled with candidates fashioning themselves in his image. Many of them lack much if any previous political ties to the state, or to politics at all. Meanwhile, Democrats have moved left, with a Bernie Sanders acolyte likely to win the party Senate nomination. In the state as a whole, in both political parties, it looks like the “center” cannot hold, because it no longer exists. A “keystone” meant to hold an arch together is crumbling.
I am not naïve or starry-eyed about my home state. It began as a colonial fiefdom of one man, albeit an unusually enlightened one: William Penn. The forlorn state capital in Harrisburg has long been synonymous with rank corruption. An insanely complex hierarchy of local offices, judges and jurisdictions – itself a source of graft and indolence – still reigns even though drawn directly from medieval England.
Yes, there is The Turnpike, but otherwise little statewide allegiance or identity. Politicians use the word “Pennsylvanians”; voters rarely do. The species doesn’t really exist. The place is a schizophrenic political and geographic patchwork that James Carville famously described as “Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in between.” Philly pays zero attention to Pittsburgh; For Pittsburghers, Philly isn’t a step up. New York is. The annual banquet of the Pennsylvania Society is held at a hotel in Manhattan.
The glue that held the state together in modern times was a form of semi-benevolent centrism, financed by banks and railroads in the eastern part of the commonwealth and heavy industry and banks in western PA. It produced a long parade of “moderates,” leaning toward Lincoln Republicanism, and pro-labor Democrats. On the GOP side, that meant senators such as John Heinz, Arlen Specter, and Dick Thornburgh, and governors like Tom Ridge. On the Dems’ side, that translated into patrician liberals Sens. Joe Clark and Harris Wofford and cultural conservatives such as the Casey family, father and son.
Howard Fineman is an NBC News analyst, journalism lecturer, author, and was formerly chief political correspondent for Newsweek and editorial director of HuffPost.
But now the very thing that made the state so important – its role as a bridge among continental regions bordering on the South, Midwest and Atlantic Northeast and forming a religious patchwork of Evangelicals, mainline Protestants, Catholics, and Jews – makes it a free-fire zone for the rest of the country.
The main reason is the Trumpification of politics. Trump showed the power (and small-donor fundraising reach) of being from everywhere and nowhere, emerging not from Queens or from politics but from the mists of the Internet, television, and entertainment. His base is celebrity; his accent is shock and attack; his platform is resentment and fear of The Other.
So, and not surprisingly, most of the Trump-adoring candidates in the current GOP Senate primary have few or no real political roots in the state they claim to want to represent. Dr. Mehmet Oz got his medical degree at Penn, but is really from Turkey, New York, New Jersey – and, like Trump, is really from the State of TV Fame. Hedge-fund wizard David McCormick is a western Pennsylvania native, but made his bones in D.C., his fortune in New York, and was living in Connecticut before realizing how much he cared about his roots. Carla Sands, Trump’s ambassador to Denmark, was an actress who married a wealthy California developer and spent most of her adult life there. And comes now the suddenly famous and fast-rising Kathy Barnette, who arrives in my home state from an Alabama pig farm by way of Virginia. Three days before the primary, Trump endorsed for governor Doug Mastriano, an Army vet, ultra-MAGA zealot and New Jersey native who served most of his career overseas before landing at the Army War College in Carlisle, PA.
Months ago I asked a studiously middle-of-the-road, high-ranking Democrat in the state whom he would support in his party’s Senate primary. I expected him to say Lamb, who literally was patterning his campaign after this very politician. “I’m going with Fetterman,” he said. “We’re living in the age of Trump. So we need a charismatic, vivid character.”
He is censoring Roger Amick because he ought thinks him.

One lie that hides an enormous conspiracy: Inside the trial that exposes Clinton’s plot to slander Trump
John Durham theorizes that the Hillary Clinton campaign concocted a political smear that Donald Trump was a Putin puppet, then peddled the tale to a compliant media and to the FBI.
Special Counsel John Durham appears to have methodically built a case of historic consequence. It’s just not the case he has brought against bigshot Democratic Party lawyer Michael Sussmann.
Jury selection begins in Sussmann’s trial on Monday, in Washington, DC. It will be the first trial to arise out of the Russiagate probe, which began over three years ago. That’s when former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr assigned Durham, a longtime Justice Department prosecutor from Connecticut, to investigate how, in the middle of a heated presidential campaign and based upon scant evidence, the FBI came to suspect one of the candidates of being a clandestine agent of the Kremlin — to the point of opening counterintelligence and criminal investigations targeting Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
According to court filings in the Sussmann case, Durham has fingered the Hillary Clinton campaign as the culprit. The problem is that Durham has not charged that fraudulent scheme. Yet, he wants to offer evidence of the sweeping scheme in order to prove a comparatively minor and narrow offense — namely, that Sussmann lied to the FBI at a single meeting, on September 19, 2016.
Durham theorizes that the Clinton campaign concocted a political smear that Trump was a Putin puppet, then peddled the tale to a compliant media and to the FBI. This would enable Clinton to tout the “evidence” of corrupt Trump-Russia ties as so serious that the Feds were investigating.
Durham contends that the Clinton campaign left most of the scandal-mongering to its lawyers. Thus did Sussmann become central to the scheme, as did his law partner, Marc Elias. (Both attorneys have since left their white shoe international law firm, Perkins-Coie.) The deployment of lawyers in their schemes and scandals is a time-tested Clinton modus operandi, enabling them to claim attorney-client privilege to cover their tracks when controversy erupts and investigators start snooping around — a frequent occurrence over the last 30 years.
John Durham describes the fraud scheme as the “joint venture” involving the Clinton campaign, its lawyers, a group of Internet researchers, and Fusion GPS.
US Department of Justice via AP Here, as we’ll see, there is delicious irony in the attorney-client gambit. The Clinton campaign is now claiming privilege in a desperate effort to block Durham from examining its communications with Sussmann and others. Yet Sussmann is on trial for allegedly telling the FBI, falsely, that he was not representing the Clinton campaign when he urged the Bureau to investigate Trump — insisting that the Republican nominee had established a secret back channel for communications with Vladimir Putin, through servers at Alfa Bank, an important Russian financial institution.
In short, Durham portrays the Clinton campaign as guilty of perhaps the worst dirty trick in the history of American presidential elections: a conspiracy to defraud the government into probing her opponent, the better to slander Trump, in the electorate’s eye, as a nefarious threat to the United States. continues: https://nypost.com/2022/05/13/inside-the-trial-that-exposes-clintons-plot-to-slander-trump/

Common ground can be found with Turkey over Nordic nations' Nato bid - Stoltenberg
Nato’s secretary general said he was confident common ground could be reached to allay Turkey’s concerns over Sweden and Finland’s membership into the alliance and that it would seek to boost its presence in the region, while their membership is ratified.
Speaking to reporters by video link Jens Stoltenberg said:
I’m confident that we will be able to address the concerns that Turkey has expressed in a way that doesn’t delay the membership or the accession process.
Stoltenberg added that Ankara had made it clear it did not want to block the Nordic states’ membership bid.
Reuters reports that Stoltenberg said he wanted to speed up the ratification process of the two countries as much as possible and that the alliance would look into ways to provide security assurances for the interim period, including by increasing Nato’s presence in the region.

Nominating train-wreck candidates at the state level could also be a drag on close House and state legislative races.
It’s going to be a Republican year in the midterms, the kind of year that often sweeps in unlikely and unworthy candidates — and the Pennsylvania Republican Party is acting like it’s banking on it.
Sleepy Joe Biden will not get credit for this historic victory.
The U.S. is poised to send $40 billion in aid to Ukraine after the House approved the assistance package on Tuesday. Though the funds are temporarily stalled in the Senate due to an objection from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, the measure is expected to go through in the coming week, with nearly $15 billion for military aid. It will bring total U.S. support to Ukraine since the beginning of the war to more than $53 billion.
These numbers might seem staggering, but they pale in comparison to the amounts Washington spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or in Vietnam for that matter. Yet the result has been vastly more effective.
These numbers might seem staggering, but they pale in comparison to the amounts Washington spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or in Vietnam for that matter. Yet the result has been vastly more effective.
How much was spent in the first few months of those wars ?
If "we" are doing so well why such a need ?
Why is NATO not contributing a much greater number than us ?
Why are all those delegations visiting Ukraine joyfully walking around without any worry ?
Why are we spending so much more there while over 100,000 young Americans are dying every year on drugs flowing through a neglected border?
Why no chyrons showing daily death totals of our youth?
Why is Ukraine funding so many families of US politicians ? Shouldn't they recuse themselves form sending such vast sums of money>
Despite these numbers. The President's approval is at 39%
WASHINGTON — Support for abortion rights has reached a record high, and nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, according to a new national NBC News poll conducted after the leak of a draft opinion that would strike down the constitutional right to abortion.
What’s more, the survey finds abortion climbing up the list of issues that Americans believe are the most important, and that Democratic interest in the upcoming midterms has increased since earlier this year.
But the poll also found that this Supreme Court draft opinion hasn’t substantially altered the overall political environment heading into November’s elections — with inflation and the economy remaining the public’s top issues, President Joe Biden’s job rating falling below 40 percent and a whopping 75 percent of Americans saying the country is headed in the wrong direction.
Hate speech is protected by the first amendment but.
Hate Speech
There is no legal definition of "hate speech" under U.S. law, just as there is no legal definition for evil ideas, rudeness, unpatriotic speech, or any other kind of speech that people might condemn. Generally, however, hate speech is any form of expression through which speakers intend to vilify, humiliate, or incite hatred against a group or a class of persons on the basis of race, religion, skin color sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, or national origin. 1
In the United States, hate speech is protected by the First Amendment. Courts extend this protection on the grounds that the First Amendment requires the government to strictly protect robust debate on matters of public concern even when such debate devolves into distasteful, offensive, or hateful speech that causes others to feel grief, anger, or fear. (The Supreme Court's decision in Snyder v. Phelps provides an example of this legal reasoning.) Under current First Amendment jurisprudence, hate speech can only be criminalized when it directly incites imminent criminal activity or consists of specific threats of violence targeted against a person or group.
For the purposes of collecting statistics, the FBI has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity,” including skin color and national origin. Hate crimes are overt acts that can include acts of violence against persons or property, violation or deprivation of civil rights, certain "true threats," or acts of intimidation, or conspiracy to commit these crimes. The Supreme Court has upheld laws that either criminalize these acts or impose a harsher punishment when it can be proven that the defendant targeted the victim because of the victim's race, ethnicity, identity, or beliefs. A hate crime is more than than offensive speech or conduct; it is specific criminal behavior that ranges from property crimes like vandalism and arson to acts of intimidation, assault, and murder. Victims of hate crimes can include institutions, religious organizations and government entities as well as individuals.
This is a very difficult task. But the guy who killed 10 black people and one white guy. He was brainwashed by racist bastards. They should face legal or civil crimes
Yesterday the hate filed Ch was brainwashed by this.
Trump has converted Mar-a-Lago into a social 'hot spot' for conspiracy theorists: named Scott
According to a report from Politico's Meredith McGraw, Donald Trump's permanent move from Manhattan to his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort has allowed him to use the facilities there to host nightly parties for conspiracy movie premieres, book signings and gatherings of followers who come to worship him.
Case in point, she wrote, was the recent premier of conservative gadfly Dinesh D’Souza's new movie "2000 Mules" in one of the luxury resort's ballrooms, with the documentary laying out the filmmaker's cas that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from his Mar-a-Lago host.
According to the report, the recent event is nothing new and is a part of making the resort a social scene "hot spot" for conservatives.
The main reason there's no legal definition of 'hate speech' is because the concept has always been pure, unadulterated, Grade A bullshit cooked up by the left to vilify any thought they don't agree with.
Oh, and regarding the hysterical ape-shittery regarding the shooting in Buffalo - it was nothing more than a typical weekend in Chicago. But thank the Lord the shooter was WHITE. Now we get 24/7 vilification of all or the usual leftists boogeymen.

Russian neighbor Finland announces it wants to join NATO
Finland has formally confirmed it intends to join Nato, abandoning decades of military non-alignment in a historic decision triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Finland is applying for Nato membership,” said the country’s president, Sauli Niinistö, at a press conference. “A protected Finland is being born as part of a stable, strong and responsible Nordic region. We gain security and we also share it. It’s good to keep in mind that security isn’t a zero-sum game.”

Russia‑Ukraine war: Finland will apply for Nato membership; missile strike destroys Lviv military facility – live
The prime minister, Sanna Marin, said the proposal would now be sent to parliament for ratification. “Our decision is historic,” she said. “As a member of Nato, we will also be responsible for the security of the alliance as a whole.”
With neighbouring Sweden’s ruling party also holding a decisive meeting on whether to join the 30-member defensive alliance next week, Moscow’s onslaught on Ukraine looks set to usher in the expansion of Nato that Vladimir Putin claimed he wanted to prevent.
Finland shares an 810-mile (1,300km) border with Russia and, like Sweden, has maintained strict policies of neutrality then non-alignment since the end of the second world war, viewing Nato membership as a provocation of Moscow.
However, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February has led to a profound change in its thinking, with public support for Nato accession trebling to about 75%. Polls show a majority of between 50 and 60% are also in favour in Sweden.
Three days after Finland’s leaders said it “must apply for Nato membership without delay”, the membership proposal is expected to be laid before parliament for ratification on Monday.
Saw an astute observation this morning. More democrats have now visited Ukraine than have visited the southern border.
Statement by President Biden on Mass Shooting in Buffalo, New York
MAY 14, 2022STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Tonight, we grieve for the families of ten people whose lives were senselessly taken and everyone who is suffering the physical and emotional wounds of this horrific shooting. We are grateful for the bravery of members of law enforcement and other first responders who took immediate action to try to protect and save lives. The First Lady and I are praying for the victims and their families, and hearts all across this country are with the people of Buffalo.
We still need to learn more about the motivation for today’s shooting as law enforcement does its work, but we don’t need anything else to state a clear moral truth: A racially motivated hate crime is abhorrent to the very fabric of this nation. Any act of domestic terrorism, including an act perpetrated in the name of a repugnant white nationalist ideology, is antithetical to everything we stand for in America. Hate must have no safe harbor. We must do everything in our power to end hate-fueled domestic terrorism.
The Minority Leader believes that the people of Ukraine matters more than brown skinned people at the Mexican border.
WASHINGTON — Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader, visited Ukraine on Saturday to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky, leading the latest delegation of American lawmakers to the country as the United States deepens its commitment to Kyiv’s fight against the Russian invasion.
The surprise visit by Mr. McConnell, who was accompanied by three other Republican senators, comes as the Senate is working to pass a $40 billion emergency military and humanitarian aid package for Ukraine. It follows a string of other clandestine visits, including by the first lady, Jill Biden, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The trip, a rare international visit for Mr. McConnell, highlights the widespread bipartisan support for Ukraine in Washington as the country tries to fend off Russia’s invasion, even as questions remain about the Biden administration’s overall strategy toward the conflict and the scope of American assistance.

Thousands Kick Off ‘Summer of Rage’

“Thousands of abortion rights supporters rallied across the United States on Saturday, angered by the prospect that the Supreme Court may soon overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide a half century ago,”
Reuters reports.
“The protests kicked off what organizers predict will be a ‘summer of rage’ ignited by the May 2 disclosure of a draft opinion showing the court’s conservative majority ready to reverse the 1973 ruling that established a woman’s constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy.”

A historic event.
Finland’s leaders on Sunday officially announced the country’s intention to join the NATO alliance, a decision spurred by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine after decades of Finnish military nonalignment.
Speaking at a news conference, the nation’s president said it was a “historic day.”
“I would like to point out the function of Finnish democracy here — ordinary people with their opinions, political parties, government, parliament, they have shown how strong Finnish democracy is,” President Sauli Niinisto said. “Finland will maximize its security.
“We have reached today an important decision,” Prime Minister Sanna Marin said. “We hope that the Parliament will confirm the decision to apply for NATO membership during the coming days. It will be based on a strong mandate.”
“In Finland, we still have the parliamentary process ahead of us, but I trust the Parliament will debate this historic decision with determination and responsibility.”
The country’s leaders said Thursday that Finland must seek to join NATO without delay, but the formal decision came after the president and a committee on foreign and security policy finalized a report on Finland’s accession to the alliance. The report will be submitted to Parliament on Monday.
,Finland and Sweden, which is also moving toward membership, have remained outside the 30-country alliance since its establishment in 1949 73 years ago. The two countries reassessed their positions following Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.

The American Thinker
The report in the Washington Post noted the warning by “a senior administration official” during a background briefing. The report stated: “In forecasting 100 million potential infections during a cold-weather wave later this year and early next, the official did not present new data or make a formal projection. Instead, he described the fall and winter wave as a scenario based on a range of outside models of the pandemic. Those projections assume that omicron and its subvariants will continue to dominate community spread, and there will not be a dramatically different strain of the virus, the official said, acknowledging the pandemic’s course could be altered by many factors.”
100 million, huh? Oddly enough, that’s just about the number of mail-in votes Democrats will likely receive in the mid-term elections. Weird how that works.
He ignored the crisis by fast tracking the vaccine development and its distribution. Even our dementia president is trying to take credit for it. Well done president Trump.
He said that it was a hoax for almost three months before he initiated warp speed. If Sleepy Joe had done that I would not have supported him.

HELSINKI, May 15 (Reuters) - Finland's President Sauli Niinisto confirmed on Sunday that his country would apply for membership of the NATO military alliance, in a historic policy shift prompted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Moscow, which shares a 1,300 km (800 mile) border with Finland, has said it would be a mistake for Helsinki to join the 30-strong transatlantic alliance and that it would harm bilateral ties.
Sweden is also expected to follow suit as public support for membership has grown amid security concerns.

Trump Lays Waste to America’s Birthplace
COMMENTARY
By Howard Fineman
May 15, 2022
AP Photo/Matt Rourke
The “one nation under God” to which we pledge allegiance was born in Philadelphia’s Old State House. The expansion of that nation to the continent was secured by American control of the Forks of the Ohio at Fort Pitt.
Now the wrecking ball called Donald Trump is demolishing what was built in Pennsylvania, and the damage is vividly on display in the Keystone State itself.
As the May 17 Pennsylvania party primaries approach, it’s clear that Trumpism has reduced what was once a powerful and moderate state Republican Party to a rotten receptacle filled with candidates fashioning themselves in his image. Many of them lack much if any previous political ties to the state, or to politics at all. Meanwhile, Democrats have moved left, with a Bernie Sanders acolyte likely to win the party Senate nomination. In the state as a whole, in both political parties, it looks like the “center” cannot hold, because it no longer exists. A “keystone” meant to hold an arch together is crumbling.
I am not naïve or starry-eyed about my home state. It began as a colonial fiefdom of one man, albeit an unusually enlightened one: William Penn. The forlorn state capital in Harrisburg has long been synonymous with rank corruption. An insanely complex hierarchy of local offices, judges and jurisdictions – itself a source of graft and indolence – still reigns even though drawn directly from medieval England.
Yes, there is The Turnpike, but otherwise little statewide allegiance or identity. Politicians use the word “Pennsylvanians”; voters rarely do. The species doesn’t really exist. The place is a schizophrenic political and geographic patchwork that James Carville famously described as “Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in between.” Philly pays zero attention to Pittsburgh; For Pittsburghers, Philly isn’t a step up. New York is. The annual banquet of the Pennsylvania Society is held at a hotel in Manhattan.
The glue that held the state together in modern times was a form of semi-benevolent centrism, financed by banks and railroads in the eastern part of the commonwealth and heavy industry and banks in western PA. It produced a long parade of “moderates,” leaning toward Lincoln Republicanism, and pro-labor Democrats. On the GOP side, that meant senators such as John Heinz, Arlen Specter, and Dick Thornburgh, and governors like Tom Ridge. On the Dems’ side, that translated into patrician liberals Sens. Joe Clark and Harris Wofford and cultural conservatives such as the Casey family, father and son.
Howard Fineman is an NBC News analyst, journalism lecturer, author, and was formerly chief political correspondent for Newsweek and editorial director of HuffPost.
But now the very thing that made the state so important – its role as a bridge among continental regions bordering on the South, Midwest and Atlantic Northeast and forming a religious patchwork of Evangelicals, mainline Protestants, Catholics, and Jews – makes it a free-fire zone for the rest of the country.
The main reason is the Trumpification of politics. Trump showed the power (and small-donor fundraising reach) of being from everywhere and nowhere, emerging not from Queens or from politics but from the mists of the Internet, television, and entertainment. His base is celebrity; his accent is shock and attack; his platform is resentment and fear of The Other.
So, and not surprisingly, most of the Trump-adoring candidates in the current GOP Senate primary have few or no real political roots in the state they claim to want to represent. Dr. Mehmet Oz got his medical degree at Penn, but is really from Turkey, New York, New Jersey – and, like Trump, is really from the State of TV Fame. Hedge-fund wizard David McCormick is a western Pennsylvania native, but made his bones in D.C., his fortune in New York, and was living in Connecticut before realizing how much he cared about his roots. Carla Sands, Trump’s ambassador to Denmark, was an actress who married a wealthy California developer and spent most of her adult life there. And comes now the suddenly famous and fast-rising Kathy Barnette, who arrives in my home state from an Alabama pig farm by way of Virginia. Three days before the primary, Trump endorsed for governor Doug Mastriano, an Army vet, ultra-MAGA zealot and New Jersey native who served most of his career overseas before landing at the Army War College in Carlisle, PA.
Months ago I asked a studiously middle-of-the-road, high-ranking Democrat in the state whom he would support in his party’s Senate primary. I expected him to say Lamb, who literally was patterning his campaign after this very politician. “I’m going with Fetterman,” he said. “We’re living in the age of Trump. So we need a charismatic, vivid character.”
He is censoring Roger Amick because he ought thinks him.

One lie that hides an enormous conspiracy: Inside the trial that exposes Clinton’s plot to slander Trump
John Durham theorizes that the Hillary Clinton campaign concocted a political smear that Donald Trump was a Putin puppet, then peddled the tale to a compliant media and to the FBI.
Special Counsel John Durham appears to have methodically built a case of historic consequence. It’s just not the case he has brought against bigshot Democratic Party lawyer Michael Sussmann.
Jury selection begins in Sussmann’s trial on Monday, in Washington, DC. It will be the first trial to arise out of the Russiagate probe, which began over three years ago. That’s when former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr assigned Durham, a longtime Justice Department prosecutor from Connecticut, to investigate how, in the middle of a heated presidential campaign and based upon scant evidence, the FBI came to suspect one of the candidates of being a clandestine agent of the Kremlin — to the point of opening counterintelligence and criminal investigations targeting Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
According to court filings in the Sussmann case, Durham has fingered the Hillary Clinton campaign as the culprit. The problem is that Durham has not charged that fraudulent scheme. Yet, he wants to offer evidence of the sweeping scheme in order to prove a comparatively minor and narrow offense — namely, that Sussmann lied to the FBI at a single meeting, on September 19, 2016.
Durham theorizes that the Clinton campaign concocted a political smear that Trump was a Putin puppet, then peddled the tale to a compliant media and to the FBI. This would enable Clinton to tout the “evidence” of corrupt Trump-Russia ties as so serious that the Feds were investigating.
Durham contends that the Clinton campaign left most of the scandal-mongering to its lawyers. Thus did Sussmann become central to the scheme, as did his law partner, Marc Elias. (Both attorneys have since left their white shoe international law firm, Perkins-Coie.) The deployment of lawyers in their schemes and scandals is a time-tested Clinton modus operandi, enabling them to claim attorney-client privilege to cover their tracks when controversy erupts and investigators start snooping around — a frequent occurrence over the last 30 years.
John Durham describes the fraud scheme as the “joint venture” involving the Clinton campaign, its lawyers, a group of Internet researchers, and Fusion GPS.
US Department of Justice via AP
Here, as we’ll see, there is delicious irony in the attorney-client gambit. The Clinton campaign is now claiming privilege in a desperate effort to block Durham from examining its communications with Sussmann and others. Yet Sussmann is on trial for allegedly telling the FBI, falsely, that he was not representing the Clinton campaign when he urged the Bureau to investigate Trump — insisting that the Republican nominee had established a secret back channel for communications with Vladimir Putin, through servers at Alfa Bank, an important Russian financial institution.
In short, Durham portrays the Clinton campaign as guilty of perhaps the worst dirty trick in the history of American presidential elections: a conspiracy to defraud the government into probing her opponent, the better to slander Trump, in the electorate’s eye, as a nefarious threat to the United States.

Common ground can be found with Turkey over Nordic nations' Nato bid - Stoltenberg
Nato’s secretary general said he was confident common ground could be reached to allay Turkey’s concerns over Sweden and Finland’s membership into the alliance and that it would seek to boost its presence in the region, while their membership is ratified.
Speaking to reporters by video link Jens Stoltenberg said:
I’m confident that we will be able to address the concerns that Turkey has expressed in a way that doesn’t delay the membership or the accession process.
Stoltenberg added that Ankara had made it clear it did not want to block the Nordic states’ membership bid.
Reuters reports that Stoltenberg said he wanted to speed up the ratification process of the two countries as much as possible and that the alliance would look into ways to provide security assurances for the interim period, including by increasing Nato’s presence in the region.

Nominating train-wreck candidates at the state level could also be a drag on close House and state legislative races.

Sleepy Joe Biden will not get credit for this historic victory.
The U.S. is poised to send $40 billion in aid to Ukraine after the House approved the assistance package on Tuesday. Though the funds are temporarily stalled in the Senate due to an objection from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, the measure is expected to go through in the coming week, with nearly $15 billion for military aid. It will bring total U.S. support to Ukraine since the beginning of the war to more than $53 billion.
These numbers might seem staggering, but they pale in comparison to the amounts Washington spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or in Vietnam for that matter. Yet the result has been vastly more effective.

Why is NATO not contributing a much greater number than us ?
Why are all those delegations visiting Ukraine joyfully walking around without any worry ?
Why are we spending so much more there while over 100,000 young Americans are dying every year on drugs flowing through a neglected border?
Why no chyrons showing daily death totals of our youth?
Why is Ukraine funding so many families of US politicians ? Shouldn't they recuse themselves form sending such vast sums of money>

Despite these numbers. The President's approval is at 39%
WASHINGTON — Support for abortion rights has reached a record high, and nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, according to a new national NBC News poll conducted after the leak of a draft opinion that would strike down the constitutional right to abortion.
What’s more, the survey finds abortion climbing up the list of issues that Americans believe are the most important, and that Democratic interest in the upcoming midterms has increased since earlier this year.
But the poll also found that this Supreme Court draft opinion hasn’t substantially altered the overall political environment heading into November’s elections — with inflation and the economy remaining the public’s top issues, President Joe Biden’s job rating falling below 40 percent and a whopping 75 percent of Americans saying the country is headed in the wrong direction.

Because that 100,000 can be replaced with 1,000,000 who it is assumed will reliably vote democrat.

Hate speech is protected by the first amendment but.
Hate Speech
There is no legal definition of "hate speech" under U.S. law, just as there is no legal definition for evil ideas, rudeness, unpatriotic speech, or any other kind of speech that people might condemn. Generally, however, hate speech is any form of expression through which speakers intend to vilify, humiliate, or incite hatred against a group or a class of persons on the basis of race, religion, skin color sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, or national origin. 1
In the United States, hate speech is protected by the First Amendment. Courts extend this protection on the grounds that the First Amendment requires the government to strictly protect robust debate on matters of public concern even when such debate devolves into distasteful, offensive, or hateful speech that causes others to feel grief, anger, or fear. (The Supreme Court's decision in Snyder v. Phelps provides an example of this legal reasoning.) Under current First Amendment jurisprudence, hate speech can only be criminalized when it directly incites imminent criminal activity or consists of specific threats of violence targeted against a person or group.
But.
Hate Crime
For the purposes of collecting statistics, the FBI has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity,” including skin color and national origin. Hate crimes are overt acts that can include acts of violence against persons or property, violation or deprivation of civil rights, certain "true threats," or acts of intimidation, or conspiracy to commit these crimes. The Supreme Court has upheld laws that either criminalize these acts or impose a harsher punishment when it can be proven that the defendant targeted the victim because of the victim's race, ethnicity, identity, or beliefs. A hate crime is more than than offensive speech or conduct; it is specific criminal behavior that ranges from property crimes like vandalism and arson to acts of intimidation, assault, and murder. Victims of hate crimes can include institutions, religious organizations and government entities as well as individuals.
This is a very difficult task. But the guy who killed 10 black people and one white guy. He was brainwashed by racist bastards. They should face legal or civil crimes

Trump has converted Mar-a-Lago into a social 'hot spot' for conspiracy theorists: named Scott
According to a report from Politico's Meredith McGraw, Donald Trump's permanent move from Manhattan to his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort has allowed him to use the facilities there to host nightly parties for conspiracy movie premieres, book signings and gatherings of followers who come to worship him.
Case in point, she wrote, was the recent premier of conservative gadfly Dinesh D’Souza's new movie "2000 Mules" in one of the luxury resort's ballrooms, with the documentary laying out the filmmaker's cas that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from his Mar-a-Lago host.
According to the report, the recent event is nothing new and is a part of making the resort a social scene "hot spot" for conservatives.
The main reason there's no legal definition of 'hate speech' is because the concept has always been pure, unadulterated, Grade A bullshit cooked up by the left to vilify any thought they don't agree with.
Oh, and regarding the hysterical ape-shittery regarding the shooting in Buffalo - it was nothing more than a typical weekend in Chicago. But thank the Lord the shooter was WHITE. Now we get 24/7 vilification of all or the usual leftists boogeymen.
Fox News!
Squawk!
Tucker Carson!
Squawk!

LOL.

This is a very difficult task. But the guy who killed 10 black people and one white guy. He was brainwashed by racist bastards. They should face legal or civil crimes
Sure. Right after you charge the Waukesha killer and Subway killer with a hate crime.
