New York Times- The War in Ukraine Is Getting Complicated, and America Isn’t Ready

Is the United States, for example, trying to help bring an end to this conflict, through a settlement that would allow for a sovereign Ukraine and some kind of relationship between the United States and Russia? Or is the United States now trying to weaken Russia permanently? Has the administration’s goal shifted to destabilizing Vladimir Putin or having him removed? Does the United States intend to hold Mr. Putin accountable as a war criminal? Or is the goal to try to avoid a wider war — and if so, how does crowing about providing U.S. intelligence to kill Russians and sink one of their ships achieve this?
Without clarity on these questions, the White House not only risks losing Americans’ interest in supporting Ukrainians — who continue to suffer the loss of lives and livelihoods — but also jeopardizes long-term peace and security on the European continent.

Moon Over Alabama- Ukraine SitRep – Russians Break Through U.S. Bolsterism

In total the social-economic situation for Ukraine is catastrophic. The military situation is even worse. Mariupol has fallen and Russian troops working there will soon be able to go elsewhere. The Propasna bulge is threatening to envelope the whole northern frontline together with the core of the Ukrainian army.

There is no more talk of the Ukrainian army ‘winning’ like in Kiev or Karkov where the Russian troops retreated in good order after finishing their task of holding Ukrainian forces in place.

The Ukrainian command has sent several territorial brigades to the front lines. These units were supposed to defend their home towns. They consist of middle age men drafted into service. They have little fighting experience and lack heavy weapons. Several of these units have published videos saying they were giving up. They are lamenting that their commanders left them when their situation became critical.

Zero criticism of incoming Ukrainians but doesn’t the ongoing treatment of Canadians bother vaxxed normies?!?

The Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) is available to Ukrainians who want to come to Canada temporarily. There will be no limit to the number of Ukrainians who can apply through this pathway and eliminates many of the normal visa requirements. All eligible Ukrainian nationals may be able to stay in Canada for up to 3 years so long as they meet the criteria of the CUAET.

IRCC is also waiving many fees for eligible travel and immigration documents, such as Canadian passports, permanent resident travel documents, proofs of citizenship, visitor visas, and work and study permits.

The Government of Canada is granting exemptions for unvaccinated and partially vaccinated Ukrainian nationals to enter Canada temporary resident permit or written notice of approval for an application for permanent residence in Canada.

Woke Britain.  Transphobic 18 year old girl.  Another girl bullied for being transphobic.  Britain’s new Woke police.  And Woke Church of England.

Justin will soon shut down free speech.  How dare they! New York Post trashes our Dear Leader.  Justin wants us to buy one of these. Tesla car catches fire in B.C.

Apparently AOC is required reading in New York schools.  Your morning meme.

Government spending.  More money spent on Indian issues, but less achieved.  B.C. sets up endowment fund.

Biden’s America.  The population replacement continues.  Democrats have genius children.

Keep your ear to the ground on this, I’d like to know about any corroborating reports.

From the comments;

It is true. I have refused 3 loads heading to California from 2 local manufacturers in Manitoba. Rates was good for the trip down but did not accommodate any mileage to get to a reload. Reload rates have increased but not sufficiently. According to driver gossip other companies have been turning down loads to Washington state Seattle area and western Oregon for the same reasons as well. As well as the current issues surrounding those states re driver safety.

Loads coming out of Alberta heading south are just insanely low. And reefer rates and general Van rates are all over the place. One of the owner operators turned down a load to Vancouver for the long weekend to be delivered downtown construction site. Rate was higher than it had been but too low because of the extra to drive to the reload by Edmonton. Said no. Dispatch shopped it around but no takers.

It isn’t just west coast. Saw one trip on a load board from southeast Georgia heading to Saskatoon for 3800 Canadian last week. It was gone in 10 minutes. Whoever accepted it had better have made a ton going down. Fuel availability is becoming an issue now as well. And the summer driving season hasn’t kicked into high gear yet.

This summer is going to be absolutely brutal in all fronts. I am in good shape financially with no debts and I think I will be closing down till fall. Good luck to all and be careful.

The discussion continues here.

From a friend in the ag supply industry; My truckers are refusing loads between Regina and Saskatoon. All these are fertilizer loads so yes, become self sufficient.

Central planning will save the day.

Under Operation Fly Formula, USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are authorized to use DOD-contracted commercial aircraft to pick up overseas infant formula that meets U.S. health and safety standards, so it can get to store shelves faster. In addition, President Biden has directed his Administration to take a number of other important actions to ensure there is enough safe infant formula for families, including invoking the Defense Production Act…


Probably the most humiliating tweet of all time…

ZeroHedge- The Epidemic Nobody Talks About: Burnout

The epidemic kind of burnout isn’t temporary. Taking a weekend off doesn’t restore one’s ability to work. This kind of burnout is the collapse of one’s ability to go to work at all, a physical, emotional and psychological collapse.

Burnout isn’t just the result of overwork. It’s the collapse of the entire no limits, self-exploitation way of life.

People who haven’t burned out are at a loss to understand this collapse, as it’s so far outside their experience. Those who love their jobs and have boundless energy can’t understand those who have been running on empty for far too long and are now too exhausted to get out of bed.

Centrally planned havoc

Great Reset 11 Comments

The idea that a monetary system can be centrally planned has about the same chance of success as centrally planned automobile manufacturing or farming. But that doesn’t stop Keynesians from insisting that things would be better if the central planners would only adopt their particular tweak-of-the-week.

A central bank digital currency theoretically allows for micro-targeting — perhaps by sector, perhaps by region, perhaps by socio-economic class — with real-time feedback, and that could be invaluable the next time the economy needs stimulating.

Stimulating, in this case, meaning ushering in yet another round of capital destruction.

The Monkeys are Coming

Daily Mail- UK monkeypox alert as health chiefs detect another FOUR cases of killer virus with NO links to Africa — as gay and bisexual men are urged to look out for ‘unusual rash’

The rare tropical disease, which causes flu-like symptoms and blisters on the skin, is caused by a virus spread by monkeys, rats, squirrels and other small mammals. A World Health Organization report last year suggested the natural R rate of the virus – the number of people each patient would infect if they lived normally while sick – is two. But the real rate is likely much lower because ‘distinctive symptoms greatly aid in its early detection and containment,’ the team said, meaning it’s easy to spot cases and isolate them. Up to 10 per cent of people who become ill with monkeypox will die and most deaths from the virus occur in younger age groups, according to the WHO. The first case of monkeypox in a human was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and has since been detected in a number of central and wester African countries.

One Flu Out The Wuhan Nest

And another, and another.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is believed to have engaged in the risky form of research regarding bat coronaviruses, as now-deleted webpages reveal the lab manipulating bat coronaviruses to “replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells and achieve in vitro titers equivalent to epidemic strains of SARS-CoV.”

Now, the latest edition of the lab’s journal, Virologica Sinica, appears to contain a similar style of research with the H7N9 virus in chickens and mice. The publication’s Editor-in-Chief is Wuhan’s infamous “bat lady,” Shi Zhengli, who is the lab’s premier bat coronavirus researcher and a recipient of funds from Anthony Fauci through Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance.

Virologica Sinica published the study “Combined Insertion of Basic and Non-basic Amino Acids at Hemagglutinin Cleavage Site of Highly Pathogenic H7N9 Virus Promotes Replication and Pathogenicity in Chickens and Mice” in its most recent edition, published February 2022.

This week in Biden’s America.  Old Joe bungles his Asia trip.  Suicide watch. Elon Musk calls out Clinton campaign.  The week in whoppers.  And Islamic outreach in Florida.

Woke Britain.  Police work from home.  We must respect his culture. Diverse doctor who grabbed breast cleared.

Dear Leader has his NDP partner declare that most Canadians want mandatory vaccination passports,

An example of the rich diversity in Africa.
