    1. Sounds like a refusal of order. Maybe they failed to nuke Moscow in a drill they didn’t know was a drill.

    1. Surprised when i saw Dave Matthews yesterday too.
      But,
      Kinda hard to make a list of greatest music without including some idiots. Gotta try to ignore everything but the music sometimes.

      Btw, 2001 DMB would have been better than 2018

    1. He’s right. I have, somewhere in my voluminous quotes page, a quarter-of-a-million Kenyans petitioning the IMF not to give Kenya any further loans, and specifically not the most recent $2-billion loan they’d tentatively agreed-to. Reason? – almost all of it would disappear into pockets, and what little was spent to benefit Kenya would be blown-out on daft vanity projects, and the poor of Kenya would be on the hook for all of it: https://www.samizdata.net/2021/04/kenyans-challenge-their-allotted-role/

    1. While all eyes were on Bahmut, what happened at Vuhledar went largely underappreciated in western sources. We have seen the videos of tanks in the minefield bumping into wrecks from the previous attack but did not know the scale of what happened. What happened appears to have been the biggest tank battle of the war. A battle that, for now, is soundly won by Ukrainians with orcs losing 130 armoured vehicles, about half of them tanks. Only now news begin to trickle in: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/01/world/europe/ukraine-russia-tanks.html

      Before some broshevik gets an aneurism, yes I know it is NYT, there is plenty of other sources, search them up, this one tells the most of the story.

      Yes, I am sure Zerohedge will turn it into another glorious orc victory.

      Slava Ukraine!

      1. More like “the biggest tank loss of the war”, as most orc tanks appear to have been destroyed by mines / artillery / rockets rather than Ukrainian tanks.

        Strategically, Vuhledar is more important than Bakhmut. Capturing Bakhmut will not lead to a breakthrough for the orcs but will allow them to area-bombard bigger cities of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk will artillery, which is probably why Ukrainians are so reluctant to retreat from Bakhmut.

        1. Vuhledar is definitely more important, it allows Ukraine to hit deeper behind Russian lines. Mariupol seems to be hit every day.

          How humiliating for Russia.

          1. “How humiliating for Russia.”

            …and right on cue, here come the usual three TROLLS trying to turn this into yet another Russia-bashing thread.

            Would be sad behavior if it wasn’t so damn funny.

          2. Russia is doing a fine job embarrassing themselves, they don’t need help from anyone else.

          3. Fred from BC’s ass must be burning as hot as that of the tank in the original post. Sadly, the world has rarely been kind to schweinie-lovers (or the 25+ gen alkie quadrupeds whom schweinie-lovers hold dear).

          4. What do you mean “turn it” Freddie? We started it as another thread righteously bashing the Siberian Mongol junta. For it to “turn”, it would have to start as something else. Logic, I know, not your forte.

            Anyway, entire marine brigade virtually whipped out. Didn’t help them that stuffed they valuable ship crews inside the deathboxes known as BMP (these were modern during Yom Kippur war). And with no mine protection, they drove them … into a minefield. Yes, they wasted valuable trained specialists, who weeks earlier were serving as sailors on Black Sea Fleet’s Landing ships and minesweepers. Well, they did get to sweep mines in the end, so there is that.

            War brides again will make out like bandits, claiming their white Lada coupons in exchange for boxes of minced meat stuffed with shrapnel.

        2. “…rather than Ukrainian tanks.”

          Initially it appeared to be the case. Later details suggest that a Ukrainian mechanized brigade (including at least one tank battalion with nominally at least 31 tanks) was waiting in ambush. When lead tanks started exploding on mines Ukrainian tankers added their weight of fire and were deadly accurate. A huge problem that Russian tanks have is one reverse gear. Meaning they can reverse roughly at a speed of a jogging infantry. So when they tried withdrawing they could either do it slowly with arty landing on top of them, or turn around and expose their asses to the defenders. Either way they did not make it back.

  6. Stirring in Florida

    “Prepare yourself for a good laugh. Yesterday, Newsweek ran a story headlined, “Florida Lawmaker Introduces Bill to ‘Cancel’ State’s Democratic Party.” What on Earth, you are probably asking yourself. Well, get ready.

    Yesterday, Florida Republican State Senator Blaise Ingoglia filed SB 1248, titled “Political Parties (The Ultimate Cancel Act).” If passed, the law would immediately de-certify any political party that previously advocated for slavery or involuntary servitude in their party platform. Any registered voters affected by this de-certification would automatically become “non-party affiliated” (NPA) voters.

    Guess what? Coincidentally, the Democrat Party has adopted pro-slavery positions into its platform, not once, but FOUR TIMES: during the conventions of 1840, 1844, 1856, 1860, and 1864. Democrats kept on doing it right up until Republican President Abraham Lincoln made slavery illegal.”

  7. For the movie buffs
    “WolfmanOz at the Movies #60
    Not that it matters, but most of what follows is true

    Was the original disclaimer written by legendary screenwriter William Goldman at the beginning of the 1969 western classic Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid although the director George Roy Hill deleted the first five words when he noticed in previews that the caption was generating laughs.”

  9. Big Teacher, who made the Oakville Trafalgar High School famous, has been put on paid leave:
    https://nypost.com/2023/03/02/kayla-lemieux-canadian-teacher-with-size-z-prosthetic-breasts-on-paid-leave/

    There have been suggestions among conservatives that Kayla Lemieux (Big Tits) was actually an anti-trans person who chose to construct a parody of the ultra-woke identitarian politics at K-12 schools. I doubt it. Why would Lemieux throw away a good paying job? They guy must be nuts, like trans people in general.

    1. “In the same report, BlackRock boasted of having voted against management more than 1,500 times for “insufficient diversity” in company management. This interventionist approach was hardly limited to BlackRock. At State Street Global Advisors, in 2017 alone, proxies voted against the re-election of board members at 400 companies that it felt had made insufficient effort to appoint female board members.”

    2. “In his 2020 letter, modestly subtitled “A Fundamental Reshaping of Finance”, Fink decreed that all American companies must redesign their businesses to align with the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, with the implied threat of shareholder activism or even divestment if they failed to do so. To that end, he declared that all portfolio companies would thenceforward need to define climate risk as investment risk in their financial analyses — a measure designed to disadvantage companies engaged in heavy industry or fossil fuel production or use, and likely shunt them into cleaner businesses. Furthermore, since the nearest-term climate risks for many businesses are government climate regulations rather than the actual effects of climate change, this is a thinly-disguised method for coercing companies into complying with international climate agreements.

      Second, Fink stipulated that companies must disclose their climate risk to investors using accounting methods created by two organisations which are constituted primarily of representatives from investment companies including BlackRock and international organisations such as the UN, World Bank, and IFC. Fink ordered that these disclosures specifically draw a path to the two-degree global temperature increase stipulated by the Paris Agreement.”

    1. Wow got 7 minutes in and it’s obvious these guys are morons. The only military supplies that are short in the US is 155mm shells. There are many weapons systems that have yet to be supplied to Ukraine. Not a single 120mm tank shell has been shot in Ukraine. There are many non NATO countries that use and produce 120mm tank shells. There are thousands of F16s around.

      NATO has hundreds of stealth aircraft. Russia has maybe 4 operational.

      Russia can’t produce its own drones domestically from scratch. They import many from Iran. The Orlan drones they are able to assemble are chock full of western parts.

      Their only aircraft carrier is a pile of junk that should be scrapped. The T14 tank might never see service which gives them a serious capability gap. Recently they tested a Sarmat ballistic missile which can carry multiple nuclear warheads. It failed.

      Guess where they used to get a lot of their cruise missile engines from? Ukraine. That’s why they don’t have a large supply of modern cruise missiles.

      Artillery attacks, suicide drones attacks, and cruise missile attacks have all been decreasing.

      Russia an industrial powerhouse? That’s the biggest joke of 2023 and we are only in March.

  16. Asylum seekers face hurdles, discrimination as they compete for housing in Montreal
    https://www.cp24.com/news/asylum-seekers-face-hurdles-discrimination-as-they-compete-for-housing-in-montreal-1.6295579

    Pedro Fonseca, a 43-year-old asylum seeker from Colombia, says if he doesn’t start receiving social assistance from the Quebec government soon, he’ll likely become homeless.

    And he expects you to be responsible for supporting him after he crossed into Canada at Roxham Road.

    1. Awe. Gee Whiz. Such a sad story.
      Did his inverted penis cause all this drama?
      Oh My

    2. Sweetie, your mind was shot before you began this journey. If you’d have been properly treated then, you might not be where you are today.

    4. When he needed help they indulged his fantasies and now he is looking for death. That is what validation of delusions leads to.

  22. Michael Shellenberger: Dismissing COVID lab leak theory highlights U.S. government disinformation
    https://archive.is/7eGVM#selection-2419.1-2419.99

    Since 2018, Democratic members of Congress, experts, and think tanks including the Aspen Institute have urged social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to do more to censor information, and they have. In September 2020, for example, Facebook censored a “Tucker Carlson Tonight” segment in which a Chinese doctor said that the covid pandemic resulted from a virus escaping from a lab in China. Facebook labeled the clip as “false information,” and Instagram flagged it…

  36. Trudeau’s government calls for euthanasia program to ‘treat’ children with naysaying parents

    https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/03/trudeaus_government_calls_for_euthanasia_program_to_treat_children_with_naysaying_parents.html

    “So, if we are to take any cues from historical precedent, we know that if passed, we’ve got about five years until leftist lawmakers legalize the murders of children without a “reasonably foreseeable” death, even if (and when) the youngins lack parental consent.”
