  1. “offensive to identify as straight”. I find it offensive to identify as anything other than what you are born as, male or female. I am also offended by the very stupid people who accept this level of insanity.

    1. 500% of me (at least) says “Kick these idiots to the curb” – but there’s this minuscule part of the cortex that is fascinated, and wonders, if allowed to go on unimpeded, where, (I suspect this ‘where’ doesn’t exist), would these fantasists say “OK, that’s enough, our ‘work’ here is done”.

    1. The foundation for Billionaire Al Gore’s “green” profiteering by claiming … in Al’s gay-sounding affectation … “the planet – has a fever”.

    1. Wall Street Journal says document alleges around 1,200 Gaza employees of UN agency for Palestinian refugees have connections to either Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad
      Intelligence Reveals Details of U.N. Agency Staff’s Links to Oct. 7 Attack
      Around 10% of Palestinian aid agency’s 12,000 staff in Gaza have links to militants, according to intelligence dossier

      1. My goal in all things is to protect and nurture all good life. I am failing miserably and need all the help I can get.

        Try to think of Russia/Ukraine and Palestine/Israel as two fronts in a much larger war.

        The COVID fraud is another front of that war, and there are many, many more.

  4. ““By the end of the winter,” the source has added overnight, “the Ukrainians will barely be able to move along the roads they use to feed the front due to the Russian drone, missile, conventional air, and artillery strikes. Once they can no longer plug the gaps with mechanized units acting as fire-fighting brigades, it’s just a matter of time before the big breakthroughs and encirclements begin. At the current burn rate of Ukrainian forces, I imagine we’ll start seeing Russian tanks with fuel tanks fitted for extended range appearing and Russian airborne troops making air assaults in the Ukrainian rear within weeks.””

    1. You say that like it’s a bad thing? This newest of America’s … forever wars … has got to stop. Biden and Zelensky LOST … deal with it.

      1. That’s a quote from the linked article, not my opinion.

        It’s more evidence Ukraine is being stymied and incapacitated. Russia appears to be genuinely trying to minimize loss of human life in that war.

  5. “The “Hannibal Directive” is a military order which was created in 1986 in response to the kidnapping of an Israeli Defense Forces soldier in Lebanon. The premise of the original order is that in this circumstance, the IDF can prioritize stopping the kidnappers even if it endangers the hostage. The example that those within the Israeli government like to give is sniping the tires of the escape car knowing it may cause an accident which endangers the hostage, while ruling out an airstrike on the car. This highly controversial protocol was repealed in 2016 and replaced with an order whose text has remained secret. However, there is a growing body of evidence that on October 7 Israel issued a sort of “mass Hannibal Directive on steroids,” where an unknown number of Israeli civilians were killed by the IDF to prevent their becoming hostages. While there has been much discussion of this topic within Israel media, there is a near-total blackout on the topic in corporate media in the United States and United Kingdom.”

    1. Without the Directive, terrorists will view hostages as ‘get out of jail free’ cards – with it, not so much, in fact it may become very detrimental for them.

      1. What is an acceptable number of hostages to murder to kill one terrorist?

        My answer is zero, unless we somehow know for certain that the hostage would rather be killed than take their chances with the terrorist.

        1. OTOH – if said terrorists are aware that abducting a hostage will be of no benefit to them, are they as likely to slow/impede their escape by wasting the time to grab one?

          Furthermore…how many future killings may be avoided by taking out said terrorist immediately?

    2. October 7 Israel issued a sort of “mass Hannibal Directive on steroids,” where an unknown number of Israeli civilians were killed by the IDF to prevent their becoming hostages. While there has been much discussion of this topic within Israel media, there is a near-total blackout on the topic in corporate media in the United States and United Kingdom.

      Talk about FULL of it! Not a single person with phone could have video this claim?
      I call this BS

  6. The senate has always been for patronage of the parties, no one should be clutching their pearls when trudeau continues the practice.

    If you wanted independent senators, a lottery system would be a better bet.

    1. These are the top countries viewed as not corrupt by global survey respondents

      Who? You say … Puhleeze?

    2. Matt

      This can’t be true. Ukraine is 48th least corrupt, and Russia is 87th least corrupt.

      Everyone knows that, under Putin, Russia is the least corrupt country.
