“President Trump was wrong. I had no right to overturn the election and his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable . . . Tourists don’t injure 140 police officers by sightseeing. Tourists don’t break down doors to get to the Speaker of the House or voice threats against public officials . . . Make no mistake about it, what happened that day was a disgrace, and it mocks decency to portray it in any other way”

Accurate casualty numbers for the war in Ukraine are hard to come by. The writer shows that Ukrainian casualty estimates are not to be believed.

This is important, because Western sources repeat the Ukrainian estimates without verification, creating a false picture of battlefield realities and the status of the conflict.

It should be noted that casualty numbers are not the best measurement of success in battle. Even so, given Ukrainian lies, you gotta wonder if they are worth helping.

Jim Jordan’s Weaponization Subcommittee Keeps Firing Blanks

When will Gym Jordan and his anti-Weaponization Committee stop wasting time and tax payer dollars rehashing the same old garbage? He has tried to prove twice now that the Hunter Biden story was suppressed at the order of the FBI or the Bidens themselves. He cannot prove it. His witnesses are all paid hacks of the RNC and Trump campaigns and have as much credibility as the toenail that fell off my left big toe last night.

“An unnamed Republican called Jordan’s performance “amateur hour,” suggesting that by advancing conspiracy theories in future televised hearings, Jordan “would make us look like morons.”” I would say that part has become accurate.

This announcement looks important to me. It appears that China is creating a new role for itself on the world stage and in the process diminishing the U.S. role.

How embarrassing for Stumble Joe’s State Department.

Naomi Wolf Substack

Even some liberals realize when the MSM has gone too far.

Yes, this is an opinion, but a worthy read that seems to clarify some of the Putin moves since the early part of the century.

Black couple met with appraiser to appraise their home for selling and he came back with just under $1 million. Had a White couple pose as owners, same neighborhood, same house, 2nd appraiser, and the appraisal jumped to $1.45 million. Must be the new paint job.
The coupled sued the appraisers and won a settlement.

I am sure that is not an isolated case. Millions of sales and appraisals data confirmed that nationwide, and that is pointed in the article. And this was obviously not a bad neighborhood at those prices.

Really hard to say we don’t have built in racism lingering today. “Slavery ended150 years ago” is not the issue folks.

Jonah Goldberg: Meet America’s most delicate snowflake: the Fox News viewer

Jonah Goldberg tells it like it is with regard to Fox viewers and how Faux News is treating them. All in the name of revenue.

VEA instructs teachers to evade Youngkin’s directive

The VEA provides teachers with a BLM Toolkit for implementing CRT in schools in defiance of Youngkin’s restrictions on divisive teaching.

Just as bad, BLM has abandoned its role as a check on police excesses when dealing with Black suspects, in favor of becoming a Trojan Horse for every Marxist and Gender or Woke cause.

It is time for Virginia to follow other states and let the money follow the child for school choice. Let the marketplace decide if we want children educated or indoctrinated. If that defunds the VEA dominated public schools. so be it.

With the worst of the Covid pandemic behind us we are beginning to see assessment or lessons learned reports in the technical literature. I reproduce below two paragraphs from such a report prepared by two Australian researchers and published in a journal of the Oxford University Press.
