MV Norilsk cargo ship (Gerolf Drebes, https://tinyurl.com/56jck7ap; CC BY-SA 3.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en) With the war in Ukraine in its fourth month, reports of slow and languishing Russian supply lines populate Western news feeds almost daily.

Joe Biden admits to taking advice from crack-head son
PJ Media: The whole world knows that Old Joe Biden is not really the man in charge. Biden himself has made this clear on numerous occasions, with his many oblique references to getting in trouble if he deviated from the instructions he was given. But it has never been fully clear who is running this dumpster fire known as the Biden administration; speculation has run to chief of staff Ron Klain, Barack Obama, and others. Now, however, another name must be added to the mix: that of none other than Hunter Biden. In a Dec. 3, 2018 recording that has just been found on Hunter’s noto... read more

Society Of Spectacle
The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, whose first of six televised hearings began last Thursday, is spectacle replacing politics.

‘Summit Of Exclusion’ Backfires On Biden
While hosting the Ninth Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles last week, the Biden administration sought to ostracize Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela by excluding them due to an alleged “lack of democratic space and human rights situations”.

Attacks on trans people are continuing to become more prevalent and more vicious.

Chilcot Inquiry Section 5 Advice On The Legal Basis For Military Action, November 2002 To March 2003
The Blair government needed a legal ruling to go to war with Iraq. That centered around whether a second U.N. resolution was needed to authorize force against Saddam. The man that determined that was Lord Goldsmith the U.K. Attorney General who gave a convoluted opinion on the matter. On November 12, 2002, Foreign Minister Jack Straw called Lord Goldsmith about his legal opinion on Iraq. Goldsmith said he needed to study U.N.
