  2. Things with the Russo Ukrainian War are going swimmingly for the Russian Soldiers,

    “Russian authorities reportedly continue to fail to deliver promised payments to Russian soldiers.[62] A Russian news source reported that the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has prepared a draft procedure for routing social payments to the mobilized through unit commanders.”

    The poor sorry enlisted b@st@rds will be lucky if there is even half their salary left after their “officers” distribute the funds. Just like the Italian Mafia, the officers given their own soldiers pay will be required to “kick up” at least 10% of their take to their own senior officers.

    1. “The poor sorry enlisted b@st@rds will be lucky if there is even half their salary ”

      Truth be told they tend to last maybe half a month before they die from hypothermia and Ukrainian artillery and drones rearrange their frozen carcasses.

  6. The G7 and eurotrash have agreed to cap ruskie oil @60/bbl. This is to ostensibly limit Ivan from profiting from oil sales and then using those profits to wage war.

    What does it cost to produce a bbl of oil in Russia? The Saudis I’m told can do it in some fields for under $10.

    If the euros were serious they wouldn’t purchase a drop of oil from Ivan.

    1. They are forming a cartel similar to a reverse OPEC in a way. Something like a cartel-monopsony. This will hurt russians but will not help Euros much to get better prices. There are multiple mechanisms at play. Knowing that russians have a price celling imposed on them in their primary market others will not buy russian oil for much more. Intermediaries will sell it to Euros at a premium, but that means russian margins will suffer. Other sellers will also decide to raise their production and that will crowd out a portion of russian oil. That’s how I read it. Pretty clever.

  9. Iran ramping up murder, kidnapping attempts in the US, Canada, and Europe

    From CCP police stations, to CCP election interference, to Iranian murder and kidnapping attempts Canada has become the world’s doormat for any kind of foreign interference. The Trudeau Government can invoke the Emergencies Act to subdue a peaceful protest but it takes next to no serious action to remedy the threats to Canada’s sovereignty posed by foreign interference.

    2. Aren’t all engineers Indian, Chinese, or my relatives? Maybe an iron ring comes with a cost. An iron ring is not a requirement. Get an aluminum ring and require that you swear allegiance to Satan or Trudeau or something equally as ridiculous. Leave the one true God, the Christian God, alone.

  12. UK: What good is having a “free” National Health Service if it takes 11 hours or more to get an ambulance and months for a doctor’s appointment?

    “I got a solution: next time when you need an ambulance, say on the phone your name is Muhammad or some other foreign sounding name = ambulance at your doorstep within 9 minutes.”
    “Can’t believe I’ve actually paid into this for 40 years or so not to be able to access it. Whereas all these illegal immigrant rats can.”

  13. Big Story! Iran is getting rid of its Morality Police!
    BZZZT! Wrong!

    Western media inaccurately reported that the Iranian regime abolished its morality patrol on December 4.[1] The regime has not made such a concession. Western outlets misinterpreted remarks from Prosecutor General Mohammad Javad Montazeri on December 3. Montazeri noted in response to a journalist’s question that security forces have reduced morality patrols in recent months—a statement that some Western media has mistakenly framed as confirmation that the regime abolished the patrols.[2] Iranian state media later clarified that Montazeri was only acknowledging the reduced morality patrols rather than announcing an end to the program.[3] No other Iranian official has indicated that the regime has ended the patrol.

  14. Zelenskyy Tried To Push America Into World War III
    It’s time to cut Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s Nazi regime, and our warmongers in Congress loose.
    In October, he demanded that NATO attack Russia by launching a preemptive nuclear strike. When his insane demand was rejected, it was found that Ukraine was very likely developing a radioactive “dirty bomb” which they could detonate inside their own country as a “false flag” operation, to blame Russia and trigger direct NATO military intervention.
    Ukraine fired a missile into Poland, striking the village of Przewodów, and killing two innocent farmers. Within minutes, Zelenskyy proclaimed that Poland, a NATO member, had been attacked by Russia. Using this lie as a foundation, he demanded a volatile escalation and expansion of the war against Russia.

  15. Western Australian retiree loses nearly $600,000 in his UBank account (one of those non-brick-and-mortar banks with very few humans to help him):

    Completely O/T but posted elsewhere in today’s SDA, I’m really p**ed off that the National Press Gallery evicted Blacklock’s Reporter from their building. This is sickening, beyond the pale.

  25. Eggnog is one of those things I like to think of with anticipation. I always imagine how good it will taste, how Christmassy I’ll feel drinking it. Then I have one glass, and I’m over it. Now, that’s store-bought eggnog; home-made is much better. But all the recipes I have make enough for 20+ people, obviously for party celebrations, not just for one person at home.

  27. IMO, the best store bought egg nog is the house brand from “Circle K” convenience stores.

  28. Try Benchmark Kentucky Bourbon Eggnog…very tasty and relatively inexpensive. tastes great in coffee as well. gave up on overpriced Bailey’s Irish Cream
