More stupid bullshit
[YouTube] Megyn Kelly is joined by Maureen Callahan, host of The Nerve, to discuss the lies in "Strangers" about Belle Burden's significant personal wealth from before the marriage, revelations about her trust fund worth more than $60 million, the spin during her book tour interviews with Oprah and Drew Barrymore, and more.
Ms Kelly and her interlocutor disapprove of Ms Burden, have fun going all Mean Girls on the story, because that’s how Serious Journalists roll.
[NYPost] [after some preliminary ranting, Piker said:]
"It’s just f—ing rich liberals who just want homo-fascism in the country, that’s it. They want gay fascism. They want gay techno-fascism," he insisted, without explaining what those terms meant.
Wiener is a prominent gay politician in the state who has heavily leaned into his LGBT background. During the campaign season, Chakrabarti [Piker's friend who placed 3rd in the primary and thus will not be on the ballot in Nov] had accused Wiener of being wedded with certain artificial intelligence groups that spent to support Wiener’s bid.

The liberals just want sex, lots of sex, extreme sex...
And they want to make it an acceptable part of society.

Interesting, badanov. Certainly not information that one would read in Izvestia or Regnum.
I've heard similar analysis of the various points from other sources.
I do wonder, though. Further into to the video, the presenter seems to have some odd quirks as to how dates are spoken in English. A non-native speaker or AI generated?

Oh, I seem to recall Col. McGregor, or something like that, cited on here talking about the Ukraine falling in x number of weeks or months. It's basically a Korean War situation.

You're gonna run out of money when senior officers are corrupt and stealing money, so it is hard to imagine the field officers not doing it as well.
We could hand all the printed money we have to Russia, and they would still have money problems, if that money is making its way back to the west through corruption.

I don't see anybody winning this war, just a lot of people dying and otherwise having their lives ruined. It's about damn time to stop it.

From my perspective the West is running down their war stocks (and replacing the more slowly) than the Russians are. Meanwhile the Russian troops now have extensive drone centric, near peer combat experience that the Western troops do not have. I think it will be critical to see what Putin's successor plans to do with the forces at their disposal in a few years.
[MythAndMemory] The Battle of Gaugamela, fought on October 1, 331 BC, was one of the most decisive battles in ancient history. It marked the final confrontation between Alexander the Great and the Persian King Darius III, determining the fate of the vast Achaemenid Persian Empire. Despite being heavily outnumbered, Alexander’s superior tactics, disciplined army, and bold leadership secured a crushing victory that effectively made him ruler of Asia.
This battle is widely regarded as Alexander’s greatest military achievement because it demonstrated not only his courage but also his brilliance as a battlefield commander. The victory at Gaugamela opened the road to Babylon, Susa, Persepolis, and the heart of the Persian Empire.
BACKGROUND TO THE BATTLE
The road to Gaugamela began years earlier when Alexander launched his invasion of the Persian Empire in 334 BC. After crossing into Asia Minor, Alexander achieved major victories at the Battle of the Granicus and later at the Battle of Issus in 333 BC. At Issus, Darius III personally commanded the Persian army but suffered a humiliating defeat and fled the battlefield, leaving behind even his own family.
Instead of immediately pursuing Darius deep into Persia, Alexander focused on securing the eastern Mediterranean coastline. He captured important cities such as Tyre and Gaza and then marched into Egypt, where he was welcomed as a liberator and founded the city of Alexandria.
Meanwhile, Darius spent years rebuilding his military strength. He gathered troops from across the enormous Persian Empire, including cavalry, archers, mercenaries, and feared scythed chariots designed to break enemy formations. Darius carefully selected the battlefield near Gaugamela because the wide open plains favored his massive army and cavalry superiority.
Alexander understood that this battle would decide the war once and for all.
THE OPPOSING ARMIES
The Persian army was vastly larger than the Macedonian force. Ancient sources often exaggerated the numbers, but historians agree that Darius significantly outnumbered Alexander. The Persian army included cavalry from many regions of the empire, elite guards, Greek mercenaries, archers, infantry, and scythed chariots. Some accounts also mention war elephants present with the Persian forces.
Alexander’s army, although smaller, was highly disciplined and battle-tested. The Macedonian phalanx formed the core of his infantry line, armed with long sarissa spears that created a nearly impenetrable wall. Supporting them were elite Companion Cavalry, light infantry, archers, and experienced generals such as Parmenion.
Unlike Darius, whose army consisted of troops from many different peoples and languages, Alexander commanded a force that had campaigned together for years and trusted its leader completely.

LEGACY OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT
The victory at Gaugamela was the defining moment of Alexander’s career. It transformed him from a conquering king into the master of one of the largest empires the ancient world had ever seen.
Even today, the battle remains a classic example of how leadership, discipline, and tactical brilliance can overcome overwhelming odds.
[FoxNews] Federal civil rights charges remain pending against 39 people who interrupted worship to protest immigration enforcement
Dozens of anti-ICE protesters, including former CNN journalist Don Lemon, will avoid state criminal charges after storming a Minnesota church service in January — a decision church leaders blasted as effectively giving activists a free pass to disrupt religious worship.
St. Paul City Attorney Irene Kao said in a statement Wednesday that her office would not pursue charges, saying the available evidence did not support prosecution under Minnesota law.
"Following a careful evaluation of the video footage, investigative reports, and other available materials, prosecutors determined that the current evidence is insufficient to meet that standard for criminal charges under Minnesota state statutes," the statement said.
Federal prosecutors have already charged 39 people, including Lemon and another independent journalist, with civil rights violations tied to the disruption. The federal cases remain pending.
The city prosecutor’s decision drew a sharp rebuke from leaders at Cities Church, where demonstrators interrupted worship services on Jan. 18 to protest federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis.
"According to the St. Paul City Attorney’s logic, it is perfectly fine for agitators to invade a mosque, a cathedral, or a temple, intimidate the families and children inside, and shut down their religious gathering. Just call it a ‘protest,’" lead pastor Jonathan Parnell said.

Usually, the scam is to run the perps through the state system and give them a slap on the wrist. That doesn’t prevent the civil rights charges so the state charges scam won’t be run.

The 1993 Federal law Religious Freedom Restoration Act gives the Fed Govt some useful tools for enforcement. There may not be a strong equivalent in MN law.

While there are those who claim Israel “has not won” its war against Hamas in Gaza, the inability of Hamas to launch more than a handful of missiles and drones, almost all of them either intercepted or fallen harmlessly in open fields, Israel’s seizure of ever more of Gaza’s territory testifies to Hamas’ terminal weakness.
It is Israel, not Hamas, that is winning in Gaza. It has inexorably taken over more and more of the Strip’s territory, now 65%, and soon to be 70% of the total. Out of an estimated initial total of 400 miles of Hamas tunnels, the IDF has destroyed at least 150 miles. With each passing day, the IDF locates more, and destroys more, of the tunnel network. On October 7, 2023, the IDF estimates that Hamas had 40,000 men under arms in Gaza. Since then, the IDF estimates it has killed at least 25,000 of them. Hamas has managed to recruit an estimated 5,000 new recruits during the war, which leaves it with a total of 20,000, that is only half as many men as it had before October 7.
By any measure, Hamas is losing badly. And inside Gaza, anti-Hamas militias have sprung up to keep their own neighborhoods free of Hamas and therefore, they hope, free of IDF attacks. There are four of these militias: first, the Popular Forces, with some 700 fighters, who operate in eastern Rafah and Khan Yunis; second, the Al-Astal Militia, who operate around Qizal al-Najjar in the Khan Yunis governorate; third, the Popular Army (Northern branch), that operates out of northern Gaza; fourth, Rami Helles’ Militia, operating in the eastern areas of Gaza City. Hamas has issued threats to these militias to disband and join Hamas, but so far it has been afraid to take any of them on.
