  1. As always, a GREAT READ!

    Very enjoyable.

    As an addition, here is a Washington Examiner article on the total transformation of Nancy Pelosi’s home town of San Francisco, Ca. from a once-livable city into the kind of liberal/progressive third-world ****hole that
    Nancy Pelosi and her Democrats want to bring to the rest of America, to wit:

    “Bailing on the Bay Area”

    Opinion by Zachary Faria

    20 OCTOBER 2022

    Work routines vary from city to city.

    In San Francisco, for example, residents may brush their teeth, put on their work clothes, grab their baseball bat, and begin walking over human feces to start their day.

    No city is less popular in the country right now than San Francisco.

    Of all the cities prospective homeowners are looking to leave, San Francisco tops the list.

    According to a census-data study, the San Francisco metropolitan area lost 116,000 people in 2021, around 2.5% of its population.

    The decay in quality of life is apparent throughout the city.

    In one San Francisco neighborhood, a new “drug sobering center” is being tested as part of the city’s pilot program.

    As it turns out, inviting drug addicts and other troublemakers to an area where they are allowed to be drugged out of their minds with little consequences does not help build community cohesion.

    One resident says that more people feel comfortable coming to the neighborhood, doing drugs, and urinating and defecating in the street or on the sidewalks.

    Some residents now carry bats or tasers, just in case things get out of hand.

    One longtime business owner in the area said the increase in drug use has cost his business $100,000 so far in 2022 alone.

    But hey, the center is only costing taxpayers $3.5 million.

    Where else can you create a haven for drug-addled loiterers for such a bargain?

    To be fair to San Francisco, no one could have guessed that not enforcing so-called “quality of life” crimes would lead to a decline in the quality of life.

    And while the city may have public safety and public health troubles, at least it is also wildly expensive.

    That combination puts San Francisco at the top of the list of cities people want to flee from.

    Take cheer, San Franciscans.

    At least you are No. 1 in something!

    “U.S. liberal Democrats urge Biden to seek negotiated Ukraine settlement”

    By Patricia Zengerle

    October 24, 2022

    WASHINGTON, Oct 24 (Reuters) – Thirty liberal U.S. congressional Democrats urged President Joe Biden on Monday to shift his strategy for the Russia-Ukraine war by pursuing a negotiated settlement along with his current provision of military and economic support to Kyiv.

    Washington has committed about $66 billion for Ukraine since Russia invaded it in late February, providing Kyiv with weapons and other military assistance, humanitarian aid and economic support.

  3. And meanwhile, this is what the short-sighted, shallow-thinking bumbler and bungler Joe Biden is getting us and the world into with his war of choice against Putin of Russia in Ukraine that Joe keeps escalating with more and more arms sales to Ukraine, to wit:

    “Russia’s Shoigu warns of ‘uncontrolled escalation’ in Ukraine conflict”

    Reuters

    October 23, 2022

    Oct 23 (Reuters) – Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told his French counterpart in a telephone call on Sunday that the situation in Ukraine was rapidly deteriorating and trending towards “uncontrolled escalation”.

    “They discussed the situation in Ukraine which is rapidly deteriorating,” the defence ministry said in a readout of the call.

    “It is trending towards further uncontrolled escalation.”

    As the rug-chewing madman Hitler proved, all it really takes is one idiot n the world stage with a small intellect combined with a massive ego and a severe case of megalomania to start a world war, and now, we are seeing it happening all over again with the rug-chewing madman this time being America’s appointed president Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior.

    “Progressives retract Ukraine letter to Biden after uproar”

    By Farnoush Amiri and Seung Min Kim, Associated Press

    25 October 2022

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A group of progressive Democrats in Congress said Tuesday it had retracted a letter to the White House urging President Joe Biden to engage in direct diplomatic talks with Russia after it triggered an uproar among Democrats and raised questions about the strength of the party’s support for Ukraine.

    In a statement, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the chair of the Progressive Caucus, said the caucus was withdrawing the letter it sent less than 24 hours prior.

    “The letter was drafted several months ago, but unfortunately was released by staff without vetting,” the Washington Democrat wrote in a statement.

    The unusual retraction capped a tense 24-hour period for Democrats.

    Many reacted angrily to the appearance of flagging support for the president’s Ukraine strategy, coming just weeks before a midterm election where their majorities in Congress are at risk.

    The letter had called for Biden to pair the unprecedented economic and military support for Ukraine with a “proactive diplomatic push, redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a cease fire.”

    “The alternative to diplomacy is protracted war, with both its attendant certainties and catastrophic and unknowable risks,” the letter read.

    Since the war began, Congress has approved tens of billions in emergency security and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine, while the Biden administration has shipped billions worth of weapons and equipment from military inventories.

    Last month, lawmakers approved about $12.3 billion in Ukraine-related aid as part of a bill that finances the federal government through Dec. 16.

    The money included aid for the Ukrainian military as well as money to help the country’s government provide basic services to its citizens.

    That comes on top of more than $50 billion provided in two previous bills.
