The Importance of Terrorist Founders and the Role of Safe Havens
Hafiz Saeed, leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba, appears in a video in 2019. Photo credit: Wikipedia/Public Domain. Editor’s Note: *Many terrorist groups are small, and their initial leaders exert outsized influence on their future direction. Drawing on their recent book, Tricia Bacon of American University and Elizabeth Grimm of Georgetown University examine the different ways founding leaders matter. They argue that a safe haven is particularly important, enabling leaders to avoid counterterrorism pressure and, in so doing, more deeply imprint their ideas on the groups they lead.* *Dani... read more

Vancouver Civic Election
The Vancouver civic election is also important. The main issue is law and order but housing is also tied to that. The cost of housing in Canada is out of control. It's not just Vancouver, it's Toronto as well. However, lawlessness in the DTES is also completely out of control. There are three main candidates for mayor: Kennedy Stewart, Ken Sim and Fred Harding. I don't have a problem with Kennedy Stewart per say. He has been a mayor without a party. He was a former NDP MP who gave up his seat in Burnaby for Jagmeet Singh. Thanks for nothing. Jack Layton and Tommy Douglas are turni... read more

Online, the devolving Washington Post!
*SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2022* *Tabloid piffle is them: *On occasion in the past, we've mentioned the way the online version of the Washington Post seemed to be devolving into a type of tabloidism. Today, the Post announces that its long-running Sunday Outlook section will no longer be published. That makes this a good day to examine the decline of this devolving newspaper. As we've noted in the past, the print edition of the Post still resembles a traditional newspaper. Starting on page A1, the most significant news reports appear in its initial section, with sports and entertainm... read more

How Big Green is limiting food production
No-til Farming: In April of 2021, the president of Sri Lanka banned the import of fertilizers and pesticides and told the southwest Asia country’s 2 million farmers they were immediately moving to total organic production. The predictable result was a dramatic drop in yields and a food crisis for its 22 million residents. While the government policy was dropped in November, it was too late to overcome limited food supplies due to 30-60% yield decreases for most crops and grocery prices that increased by as much as 90%. Even with the short-lived organic-only mandate, thousands of... read more

Taking migrants to liberal hell holes criticized
Fox News: *AOC doubles down after Republicans transport migrants to Washington, DC: ‘Crimes against humanity’* AOC likened Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's actions to 'trafficking' They don't want them there either. They just prefer to have them hanging out in border towns and breaking into houses in border communities.

Six more buses also arrived in New York City, as Texas continued to pressure sanctuary cities amid a surge of migrants crossing the southern border. The six buses were from El Paso, Port Authority officials told Fox News. The D.C. bus carried people mostly from Venezuela, including a one-month-old baby. Aid workers quickly whisked the migrants away to a local shelter. The transports come as the immigration issue has again rocketed to the forefront of n... read more

Starting with purchases of small paddies, my grandparents supplemented income from professional occupations and other businesses with profits from rice and eventually invested in coconut farms.

GOP candidates don't trust vote counts
NY Times: Echoing Trump, These Republicans Won’t Promise to Accept 2022 Results Six Republican nominees for governor and the Senate in key midterm states, all backed by Donald Trump, would not commit to accepting the November outcome. It appears to be a demonstration of how the changes made to voting in the 2020 election have led many to believe they were not fair. There is a deep distrust of the drop box system that video tends to show was abused along with illegal vote harvesting. read more

FBI was getting intel from Facebook on user communications
Breitbart: *Report: Facebook Spied on Messages of Conservatives Questioning 2020 Election, Sent Them to FBI* This is more evidence of how the FBI has been politicized and used social media to spy on Americans who questioned the election results.

Five Predictions on Accounting Consultant Next in The Newest Year
Some money advance corporations will permit the CEO to change the compensation schedule to sales ranges of the institution.

This feature is exceptionally helpful to an operation that is seasonal in nature being that a predetermined cost shouldn’t be obligatory every month.

Russia's limited troop movement suggests they are running short
ISW: Russian forces continue to conduct meaningless offensive operations around Donetsk City and Bakhmut instead of focusing on defending against Ukrainian counteroffensives that continue to advance. Russian troops continue to attack Bakhmut and various villages near Donetsk City of emotional significance to pro-war residents of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) but little other importance. The Russians are apparently directing some of the very limited reserves available in Ukraine to these efforts rather than to the vulnerable Russian defensive lines hastily thrown up along th... read more
