  1. CIA official’s son killed while fighting in Ukraine, spy agency says
    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/cia-officials-son-killed-fighting-ukraine-spy-agency-says-rcna202971

    “The spokesperson confirmed the death of Michael Gloss — who is the son of Juliane Gallina, the CIA’s deputy director for digital innovation — after a Russian news site reported that the 21-year-old American had signed up to serve with Russia’s forces. The CIA spokesperson said Gallina and her family “suffered an unimaginable personal tragedy in the spring of 2024 when her son Michael Gloss, who struggled with mental health issues, died while fighting in the conflict in Ukraine.””

    “In social media posts last year, Michael Gloss shared a photo of himself smiling in Moscow’s Red Square and expressed sympathy for Russia’s war effort against what he called “the Ukraine Proxy war.” He wrote that news coverage of the war, which he called “western propaganda,” was concealing the reality of a conflict in which an allegedly corrupt Ukrainian military was no match for Russian troops.”

    1. Looks like a textbook case of a Useful Idiot, very similar to the fauna of this sanctuary, but a bit less hypocritical. Just like the locals, he believed that no matter what the Russians do, it’s still a fault of the West (even people in Bucha who were robbed, brutalised and murdered should blame the West and not the Russian troops who robbed, brutalised and murdered them), but he actually tried to join the regime he praised, meaning he had some personal honesty, which is something the inhabitants of this sanctuary are totally lacking. Always happy to praise the Ruϟϟischeschweinen Pediration, but would rather die than live there.

    2. There’s a special place in hell for assholes like him who want to go half way around the world and kill innocent people. Too bad the kid didn’t have parents to teach him not to be stupid.

      1. In fairness, he probably had no desire to “kill innocent people”, he was just a mental case similar to Kahane Tzedek (and a lot of others) here who unquestionably believed Ruϟϟischeschweinen Propaganden because he saw the western media as dishonest, which they actually are, but that doesn’t mean everything stated there is untrue (to understand that, however, you need to have a properly functioning brain and he didn’t).

  2. Land of 10,000 Lakes and Zero Consequences. (Waltzlandia).
    Blatantly illegal plea arrangement guidelines recently issued by the Hennepin County attorney (Minneapolis) in (The Peoples’s Republic of) Minnesota.

    Excerpt from Wikipedia vis a vis community and victim dissatisfaction with past probation offers rendered by Moriarty:
    “…Moriarty has repeatedly come under criticism over perceived leniency in treatment of violent offenders.[35][36][37][38] Throughout 2023, Moriarty has been criticized by families of victims and prosecutors in her office over her decisions to offer probation to two 17-year olds charged with murder, a person charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year old girl, a drug dealer charged with murder after knowingly giving fentanyl-laced pills to an overdose victim, a teen who was charged with murder after shooting a driver during a deadly carjacking, and a man charged with sexually assaulting a 9-year old girl. Some victims’ family members have petitioned Ellison to take over cases from Moriarty, as he did in the McKeever case.[38][35]”

    So she “negotiated” probation for murder, probation for rape, probation for distributing fentanyl which resulted in an overdose death, probation for murder (again), probation for rape (again).

    Her most recent brush with notoriety arose this week when she declined to prosecute a state employee who vandalized half a dozen Teslas. Her deep concern that the vandal might lose his job is laughable.

  3. Contrasting the Seminole with the Sioux.
    The Mdewakantonwon branch of the Sioux operate a large and successful casino in Minnesota, while efforts to establish a tribally owned casino on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota have finally succeeded. There are now 8 Sioux owned casinos in South Dakota, but nothing, I think, on the scale of the Seminole operations.
    The Navajo, another dramatically impoverished tribe, rejected a referendum to develop gambling on their land in the American southwest.

    Link below details the extensive Seminole casino operations.

    1. Roaddog,
      The Navajos finally allowed casinos to open. They have at least two that I know of.

      1. I find the statement that the Navajo are dramatically impoverished hard to believe. In February 2020, my sister and I visited Arizona and New Mexico and were very impressed with the Navajo. Monument Valley is on their reservation – they charge admission and rightfully so! As well, we stayed at a Navajo owned and run motel, ate at Navajo restaurants and there were many, many turquoise and silver jewelry stores. We thought the Navajo were very entrepreneurial!

        1. Drive from Farmington, New Mexico to Gallup and call back. That is some of the most impoverished country in the US.

          1. Betcha the chiefs live very well. I lived in Farmington for six months while working on a solar power experiment at SJSU. Lovely little town. The valley was an experiment in using underground nuclear bombs to build canals.

          1. “JMM,
            This is from a physician who provides medical services on the Navajo reservation. 32% of homes do not have electricity.”

            Old Indian saying: ” the Chief’s driveway is always paved”.

    1. Again, my sister and I visited St. Petersburg in 2012 on a Baltic Cruise. Beautiful, clean city, more capitalistic than many cities in the United States. Mind you, they could use better handicapped facilities – visited the Ballet in the evening in a wonderful old palace from 1820. As a former hotel and restaurant designer, I was appalled that there were no elevators, that the washrooms were in the basement and tiny and that there were no sprinklers. The whole building was 200 year old firewood, just waiting to go up should someone be careless with a cigarette. Russians love to smoke!

    2. I noticed it’s a video from the degenerate retard Mark Slapinski. That kid should be taken out and beaten within an inch of his life

    3. Tell me, what am I supposed to notice? Was it just a bait for UIs* who are happy to write how much they want to live in Russia, but would never act in accordance with their proclaimed desires?

      BTW, St. Petersburg is considered a “criminal capital” of Russia and has been nicknamed “Dismembergrad” because of frequent discoveries of human body parts there.

      * Useful Idiots

  4. remember that time the Seminoles wanted to team up with Saskatchewan First Nations to purchase Casino’s Regina and Moose Jaw and to sweeten the pot, they would have built the Riders a domed stadium, but the Sask Party wanted to stay in the business of addiction at the time and wouldn’t sell ???

        1. Noted, Chief. I’ve passed your claim for compensation on to Carney’s people, it should be reaching you soon by the usual means.
