Yes, this is bat-guano insane, but ... I must admit that I actually understood Jasmine Crockett's allegation. She couldn't frame it correctly, and it's the dumbest leftover conspiracy theory from the 2020 election cycle, and she spewed it on M-SNOW, where apparently it even non-plussed the panel. But just the fact that I grokked this at all has me reaching for counseling centers with reasonable rates as a Christmas present to myself.Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Democrat Hope from Texas is upon y'all:(Embedded Tweet)QuoteCROCKETT: And that is actually what they are fearful of, is my authenticity, because it rings true with every single American, whether they're a Texan or not. It rings true that I am fighting for everyday real people, and instead of talking policy, when you're talking about 'the record speaks for itself,' baby, let's talk about your record, because the only reason you're the Vice President is because the current president tried to have his last president killed. Let's talk about qualifications.

New York officials mandated that all school bus purchases be electric by 2027, and parents are already thoroughly disgusted with the purchases so far. Apparently, New York officials think they are saving the planet with buses that freeze kids like popsicles.Electric vehicles (EVs) are always a disaster from start to finish, with their short-lived, expensive, and toxic batteries, which are so dependent on slave and child labor in Africa and China, and they simply don’t work the way they are supposed to. That includes heating in the EVs during icy winter weather.While the electric bus rule is to apply across the state of New York, parents in the Lake Shore Central School District are the ones vocally speaking out. WIVB News4 reported last week that parents are worried about their children’s health as bus drivers turn down the heat in the buses or even turn it off altogether as they try to conserve battery life. In fact, that is a recommended practice for EVs, which perform very poorly in the wintertime. And that is exactly why they should not be used to transport children to and from school in freezing temperatures.
A former Democratic Party operative in Virginia has been arrested by federal authorities and charged with distributing child pornography following an undercover FBI investigation, according to court records filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.Randon “Randy” Alexander Sprinkle, 30, was taken into custody after an investigation conducted by the FBI’s Manassas, Virginia, field office. Sprinkle previously held several prominent roles within Democratic political circles in the state.He served as finance chairman of the Virginia Democratic Party, was a leader in the Young Democrats of Virginia, and worked in 2025 as campaign treasurer for Richmond City Council Vice President Katherine Jordan.According to a nine-page criminal affidavit filed Friday, Sprinkle was an active user of the social networking application Jack’d, which markets itself as “the premier social app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people” and reports having more than 15 million members.
MOSCOW (AP) — A car bomb killed a Russian general on Monday, the third such killing of a senior military officer in just over a year. Investigators said Ukraine may be behind the attack.Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov, head of the Operational Training Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces’ General Staff, died from his injuries, said Svetlana Petrenko, the spokesperson for Russia’s Investigative Committee, the nation’s top criminal investigation agency. He was 56.“Investigators are pursuing numerous lines of inquiry regarding the murder. One of these is that the crime was orchestrated by Ukrainian intelligence services,” Petrenko said....Just over a year ago, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the chief of the military’s nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces, was killed by a bomb hidden on an electric scooter outside his apartment building. Kirillov’s assistant also died. Ukraine’s security service claimed responsibility for the attack.An Uzbek man was quickly arrested and charged with killing Kirillov on behalf of the Ukrainian security service....In April, another senior Russian military officer, Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik, a deputy head of the main operational department in the General Staff, was killed by an explosive device placed in his car parked near his apartment building just outside Moscow. A suspected perpetrator was quickly arrested.
If you liked the pressure Trump's blockade put on the Maduro regime, you're gonna love the second-order effects it could have on Cuba.The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that "Venezuelan oil exports are at risk thanks to a partial blockade targeting sanctioned tankers — the kind that carry about 70% of the country’s crude." The story continued, "Were Venezuela’s oil shipments to stop, or sharply decline, the Cubans know it would be devastating."Cuban exile and energy expert Jorge Piñón told the Journal, "It would be the collapse of the Cuban economy, no question about it."Communist Cuba has relied on foreign benefactors to stay afloat, pretty much since Fidel Castro and his butcher boys like Che Guevara seized power more than 60 years ago. In recent years, the regime — ruled since 2018 by Communist party chief Miguel Díaz-Canel — relies on the largess of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro for cheap oil the country can't afford to buy at market price....Anyway, Venezuela is in such dire straits that oil shipments to Cuba already declined by two-thirds, from 100,000 barrels a day to 30,000. That was before we started pulling over their tankers and checking for license and registration.
A Brown University custodian just dropped a bombshell by claiming he flagged the man who murdered two students to the authorities multiple times before the deadly shooting occurred.Derek Lisi has worked at Brown University in Rhode Island for 15 years, and if he is telling the truth, the horrible and tragic shooting that cost the lives of two young students and injured multiple others could have been avoided. Lisi said in comments that The Boston Globe published that he saw a man walking through the hallways, looking into classrooms, and trying to avoid being seen by suddenly darting into a bathroom — all weeks before the shooting. Lisi saw the suspicious man at least 10 times and notified the campus security at least twice, but it appears that nobody took the behavior seriously.The deceased man accused of gunning down Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, Portuguese national Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente, also murdered MIT nuclear science and engineering professor Nuno F. Gomes Loureiro, according to Massachusetts authorities. Therefore, it seems two separate murders could have been avoided had authorities taken Lisi’s warnings seriously.“I knew there was something off with him,” Lisi recalled of the man whom he saw casing the university building and whom he later recognized in photos of the accused shooter. “He’d been casing that place for weeks.”
