U.S. and NATO Preparing for War in Europe
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/4/2024 4:37:07 PM
Ready for a war between NATO and Russia? NATO is getting ready for one, with the United States in the starring role. There has been a lot of talk over the past year about European countries arming up for a war with Russia. Generals have been talking about reinstituting the draft, politicians of upping defense spending, and limits on Ukraine's ability to strike into Russian territory with Western weapons lifted. What started out as a Western effort to bleed Russia dry in Ukraine (and let's face it, that is the primary reason Biden and European leaders poured so many weapons

Pollster Nate Silver projected that former President Donald Trump has a 65.7% chance of winning the presidency in November. He gives President Joe Biden a 33.7% chance with a narrow 0.5% chance of either candidate failing to reach 270 electoral votes.
Silver also gives Biden a 51% chance to win the popular vote with third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slated to take 4.3% of the popular vote. The mode’s returns are based on 40,000 simulations of the election.The projection differs from FiveThirtyEight’s, an organization he created, which believes Biden is a 51% favorite over Trump.

President Biden and former President Trump are tied in a hypothetical 2024 general election match-up in Wisconsin, according to a poll released Wednesday of registered and likely voters in the key battleground state.
The Marquette Law School poll, conducted June 12-20, shows registered voters in Wisconsin split between Biden and Trump, at 50 percent each, when respondents were asked to select one of the two candidates. Likely voters responded similarly, with 51 percent for Biden and 49 percent for Trump.
When presented with the third option of “undecided,” registered voters still split evenly, at 44 percent apiece for each candidate, with 12 percent say they haven’t decided. Likely voters
The Supreme Court is poised to allow Idaho doctors to resume performing abortions in medical emergencies, according to Bloomberg, citing a draft opinion accidentally posted online Wednesday morning.
In a brief statement, the court acknowledged that a document had been “inadvertently” posted on its website, reiterating that an opinion on the Idaho case has not officially been made public. “The Court’s Publications Unit inadvertently and briefly uploaded a document to the Court’s website,” Supreme Court spokesperson Patricia McCabe acknowledged, adding that the opinion “has not been released” and would be “in due course.”
Just How Bad Was the Bowman Loss?
7 replies
The dust is settling from yesterday's primary races and if you were following our live updates of the races in New York, you already know that Jamaal "Fire Alarm" Bowman lost by a significant margin to Westchester County Executive George Latimer. At the end of this term, he will become the first "Squad" member to be evicted from Congress. Unfortunately, he may be the only one to face that fate because AOC handily fended off her own challenger in her district. But just how bad of a beating did Bowman take? As it turns out, it wasn't quite as much of a blowout as the polls were predicting, though

American military contractors to deploy

The Biden administration is moving toward lifting a de facto ban on American military contractors deploying to Ukraine, four US officials familiar with the matter told CNN, to help the country’s military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems.
The change would mark another significant shift in the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy, as the US looks for ways to give Ukraine’s military an upper hand against Russia.
The policy is still being worked on by administration officials and has not received final sign-off yet from President Joe Biden, officials said. “We have not made any decisions and any discussion of this is premature,” said one administration official. “The president is absolutely firm
“Snitches get stitches” is a threat typically made by adolescents to avoid punishment by intimidating those who might expose their misdeeds. Yet it seems Harvard is a glorified junior high these days, with Lawrence Bobo, its dean of social sciences, threatening faculty who publicly criticize the university for its mistreatment of Jewish students.
Writing in the Crimson, Bobo argued that it is “outside the bounds of acceptable professional conduct for a faculty member to excoriate University leadership, faculty, staff, or students with the intent to arouse external intervention into University business.”
Faculty who appeal to external actors to reverse gross injustices at Harvard may not get literal stitches, but

Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has her sights set on your children — for more climate change messaging.
Hillary Clinton is putting pressure on Hollywood studios to develop movies and TV shows that dramatize how climate change is putting kids in danger. “There’s now research on this topic, but most people are not aware at all,” Clinton said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “Our hope is that we can help people make the connections between children’s mental and physical health and the impact of climate change.”
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Source” that people did not actually believe President Joe Biden would be on cocaine and any reference to it is in “jest.”
Johnson said, “I don’t have no personal animus against Joe Biden. Of course, I respect the office and I’ve just acknowledged what everyone sees. We can’t help how we age. Everybody ages differently at a different pace.”
Host Kaitlan Collins said, “Some of the rhetoric is out of line where when people from Trump’s team are suggesting that, and Trump himself, that Biden is going to be on cocaine when he is on the debate stage
A bombshell report released Tuesday afternoon by the House Judiciary GOP claims that at least two of the 51 "former" intelligence officials who signed a letter discrediting the Hunter Biden "Laptop from Hell" as Russian disinformation were actually on the CIA's payroll at the time they signed the letter - despite actively asserting that they didn't have access to any classified information.
Former Deputy Director Michael Morell and former CIA Inspector General David Buckley are the two signatories named in Tuesday's report as being on active contract at the time they signed the statement. Since the CIA "declined to declassify the entire universe of signatories who were on active contract," though,
Israel’s Future, and Ours

Naftali Bennett, the once and future Prime Minister of Israel, was the keynote speaker at American Experiment’s Annual Dinner earlier this month. I was privileged to spend some time with Bennett, and found him deeply impressive. I will be surprised if he is not Israel’s Prime Minister within the next two years.
In today’s Wall Street Journal, Bennett has an op-ed titled “The U.S. and Israel’s Common Fight.” Nothing in it will be new to readers of this web site, but it makes some fundamental points, very well:
Elections come and go. Leaders change. But the values Israel and the U.S. represent are eternal. The death cult of Hamas
Canadian Conservative candidate Don Stewart won a close election on Monday in Toronto-St.Paul’s, taking a seat that has been held by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party for the past 30 years.
“Before Monday’s vote, a Conservative candidate hadn’t been competitive in Toronto–St. Paul’s since the 1980s. The party hadn’t won a seat in urban Toronto since the 2011 federal election,” CBC News marveled. CBC called the race a “nail-biter to the very end,” with Stewart’s Liberal opponent Leslie Church in the lead for about six out of seven hours of vote-counting. Stewart only took the lead when the final batch of votes was counted, vaulting to 42.1 percent
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) introduced the No Tax Dollars for the Taliban Act last year. The bill is expected to pass today in the House.
The No Tax Dollars for the Taliban Act would force the State Department to report on which countries send aid to the Taliban that also get U.S. assistance.
Thanks to President Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban were ready to take over the country as soon as the last military plane left the Kabul airport. The Biden administration left a power vacuum in place and the Taliban filled that vacuum in 2021.
The bill forces the secretary of state to weigh

An increasingly desperate Emmanuel Macron has warned the public that “civil war” awaits France if they fail to vote for his brand of centrist neo-liberalism in the upcoming legislative elections. Voting for either of the “two extremes” of the populist right-wing National Rally or the leftist-socialist New Popular Front will lead to “civil war”, Macron said in an interview in which he castigated the leadership of the two main opposition parties “and those who follow them”. The embattled French leader, who’s party is trailing in third place in the snap elections he called, said that the “response of the extreme right” to France’s current problems would lead to insecurity

Former President Obama is reportedly getting nervous about the 2024 election and is becoming increasingly involved in Joe Biden’s campaign.
One has to wonder why Obama is so heavily invested in making sure Biden wins. Democrats in general seem absolutely terrified about the possibility of a Trump victory.
Are they worried that all of the horrible things they have done to Trump will be exposed to the public?

Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary bid in New York’s 16th Congressional District on Tuesday against Westchester County Executive George Latimer, according to The Associated Press.
Bowman, who has served in Congress since 2021, lost to Latimer, who has received support from The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the AP projected. After many scandals and controversies, Bowman is the first member of the progressive “squad” to have been successfully toppled by a moderate challenger.
Abortion giant Planned Parenthood announced it is spending $40 million to prop up 81-year-old President Joe Biden and Democrats in key congressional races ahead of November, The Hill reported.
The organization, which was founded by an infamous racist with ties to the eugenics movement, made the announcement on Monday to coincide with the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. The Dobbs decision overturned the court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision — which had invented a constitutional right to abortion for 50 years — and returned the issue of abortion to individual states.
The Washington Post ran a lengthy article last week bemoaning the fact that AI (artificial intelligence) is sucking up so much power that it’s already straining the nation’s electric grid and is bad for the environment. Seriously? So, how will the grid be able to handle the millions of electric cars environmentalists want to force on the road? The answer might shock you.
The Post reports that:

Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) is sponsoring legislation to tackle so-called shrinkflation, saying that corporations "prey on consumers" by stealthily shrinking the quantity of snacks, toilet paper, and other consumer products to pad their bottom line. Whitehouse also holds hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock in those same corporations, according to a review of his portfolio.
In announcing his sponsorship of the Shrinkflation Prevention Act, Whitehouse cited a report from Senate Democrats that shames several alleged practitioners of shrinkflation, (snip) Whitehouse and his wife own between $303,000 and $910,000 in shares of the firms identified in the Senate report,
A tiny baby girl died after being left in the back of a hot car just two months after her adoptive parents took her home as a newborn.
Diana Sofia De Los Santos was found unresponsive in the SUV outside her parents' home in Santee, San Diego, about 12.20am on June 13.
She had been left in the car for several hours in 63F weather when a family member found her and called 911. The baby girl was rushed to hospital but did not survive.
San Diego County Sheriff's Office detectives are investigating how Diana was forgotten in the car and who left her there. No charges have been filed.

CNN defended its debate co-hosts from critics on Monday after they came under fire for being biased against former President Donald Trump.
The statement came after the Trump campaign ripped CNN for abruptly ending its interview with Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt. CNN’s Kasie Hunt, a former MSNBC host, suddenly ended the interview when Leavitt highlighted CNN’s Jake Tapper’s long history of criticizing Trump. Tapper is co-hosting Thursday’s first presidential debate with Dana Bash. Both are critics of Trump.They suggested Trump is a liar, was tougher on Democrats than Putin, pushed Russia propaganda, used rhetoric similar to Adolf Hitler, pushed falsehoods “fast and furious,” “tried to kill democracy once.

Scheffler is forced to resign after shock controversy 18 replies
The Louisville police chief responsible for the botched case against world No 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler was forced to resign this week.
Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel handed in her notice after being suspended over the mishandling of a sexual harassment claim about an officer.
That plunged the department into yet more turmoil, weeks after Louisville cops came under fire over their handling of Scheffler's case. Gwinn-Villaroel vowed to 'to respect the legal process' and 'let it play out' after Scheffler was shockingly arrested at the PGA Championship in May.
The golfer was taken to jail and charged with a felony - second-degree assault of a police officer -
