Ukraine followed up its long-range weapon attack on Russia on Wednesday, this time reportedly with weapons from the U.K. This follows attacks on Tuesday with U.S.-made ATACMS missiles.
On Tuesday, Ukraine attacked Russiaās Bryansk region. On Wednesday, they reportedly attacked the Kursk region. Neither of those places are near the contested region where the battle has been in Ukraine.
This means that Ukraine is not defending itself to regain territory. They are only instigating a global war because Russia has said that it considers an attack from Ukraine an attack from the West and will retaliate accordingly.
Who wants this war? No sane person living in a NATO country wants to fight Russia but guess what? Neither do Ukrainians. Gallup somehow surveyed Ukrainians andĀ found thatĀ more of them want the war to end than want to keep fighting.
I thought the West “stood with Ukraine.” If they stand with Ukraine, they should honor their wishes for peace.

New York Prosecutor Alvin Bragg hasĀ agreed to delayĀ the sentencing for President-Elect Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial.
This doesn’t mean that the case was dismissed. The Trump team had asked to delay the sentencing which was supposed to be next week. Alvin Bragg’s team, the prosecution, say that they don’t oppose this.
The Trump team hasĀ argued for dismissalĀ based on presidential immunity and Bragg’s filing says that he will oppose that. So he will keep fighting for a win in this case, but maybe with less wind at his back.
Unless Judge Marchan dismisses the case entirely, which he could do.
The President Elect’s team is arguing for dismissal based on presidential immunity but hisĀ 6th amendment rights were clearly violatedĀ during this trial and there isĀ strong evidence of selective prosecutionĀ given that Hillary Clinton was not prosecuted for the same journal entry for the Steele Dossier. I would much rather those things be the grounds for dismissal. Does this mean that the rest of us have to run for president if we are politically prosecuted against our civil rights?
130. That isĀ how many hamstersĀ escaped from their cages on a TAP Portugal flight to the Azores. The plane was grounded for four days while the airline tried to gather them all backup.
65 days. That is how many days the town of UtqiaÄ”vik, AlaskaĀ will be without sunĀ after today. This annual time of year is called the polar night. The North Pole will be without sun for 179 days.
ā¬798 million. That is how much the European UnionĀ fined MetaĀ for “tying” classified ads on Facebook Marketplace to social accounts on Facebook.
President-Elect Trump named new cabinet members this week. They include:
Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education. She was formerly the Administrator of the Small Business Administration and an executive at WWE. She is the wife of Vince McMahon. She is a proponent of school choice and parents’ rights, meaning that education decisions will be sent back to the states if she has anything to do with it.
Dr. Mehmet OzĀ as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator. Yes, the TV Dr. Oz. He has been outspoken about America’s dependence on processed food and the biopharmaceutical industry. Will that be his platform for the only national healthcare system we’ve got?
Howard LutnickĀ as Secretary of Commerce. He is currently the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services company. The President-Elect says that he will lead his tariff and trade agenda, which President Trump said on the campaign trail will help reduce the federal government’s dependence on income taxes.
Matthew Whitaker, former acting Attorney General,Ā as the Ambassador to NATO. The President-Elect says that he will “strengthen relationships with our NATO Allies, and stand firm in the face of threats to Peace and Stability – He will put AMERICA FIRST.” Is this an indication that NATO will no longer be setting U.S. foreign policy? I hope…
Liberals who are upset at Elon Musk for not censoring X and endorsing Donald Trump have flocked to Bluesky. The social network’s CEO Jay GraberĀ says thatĀ the site now has 20 million users and has gained over one million users per day since the election.
Blusky feels like X but it is far simpler. Do they do what liberals want Elon Musk to do and censor content? They do. Bluesky uses AI for automated moderation alongside human moderation. They are also working on a tattletale system called “community labeling” so users can help moderators “inform” their decisions.
It is a great place to find liberal jabber, that’s for sure. The media isĀ calling thisĀ the “national digital divorce.”
Will liberals get tired of talking to themselves or will conservatives join the conversation and make it interesting? Who knows. The Babylon Bee poked fun of this “digital divorce”Ā with this satire: “Experts Predict Every Liberal Will Soon Be On Own Individual Social Media Platform To Prevent Encountering Wrong Opinions.”
