'I'm a little p***ed off': Former Capitol Police chief tells Tucker Carlson in leaked Fox interview that Jan. 6 events were a 'cover-up' - TheBlaze:
Around 19 minutes into the "Tucker Carlson Tonight" interview, which is being released by the National Pulse piecemeal, Sund says, "If people were reporting the intelligence correctly, if I was allowed to do my job as the chief ... we wouldn't be here. This didn't have to happen," stressing, "I'm a little pissed off."
"Everything appears to be a cover-up," continued Sund. "Like I said, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but when you look at the information and intelligence they had, the military had, it’s all watered down. ... I’m not getting intelligence, I’m denied any support from National Guard in advance. I’m denied National Guard while we’re under attack for 71 minutes."

Substitute “socialists” for “U.S. Democrats.”
But it won’t be just the Democrats using candles, it’s going to be all of us...
“Just months after a Biden-appointed regulator teased a ban on gas stoves, the administration is working to enact a rule that would prohibit the manufacturing of nearly all portable gas generators on the U.S. market,” the Washington Free Beacon reported earlier this week...

Obama-appointed judge overseeing Trump's criminal case developed a reputation as 'toughest punisher' of Jan. 6 protesters - TheBlaze:
The federal judge assigned to former President Donald Trump's criminal case, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, is a leftist Obama appointee whose history of ruthlessly hammering Jan. 6 defendants, fighting the Trump administration, and rubbing shoulders with Biden donors might be of some concern for the Democratic incumbent's top political rival.

Russia has won the oil war
Russia has won the oil war - PÉTER G. FEHÉR - via: MAGYAR HÍRLAP
- The West doesn’t seem too keen to enforce its $60 price cap on Russian crude
After all, Russia has won the oil war.
...However, it seems that the punitive measures introduced without any impact assessment have been seriously misguided, especially on the part of the EU.
Rather, the EU has punished itself by foregoing cheap Russian gas and being forced to buy expensive U.S. natural gas.
Strange as it may sound, the Brussels officials knew exactly that this would be the consequence of the sanctions they imposed....

With the new movie Oppenheimer’s debut last month and the end of the teaching of American history in a positive light, lefties have resurrected the argument against using the A-bomb to end World War II.
The Atlantic published the first and perhaps only rebuttal you need to read to this daft argument in December 1946.

The Atlantic published the first and perhaps only rebuttal you need to read to this daft argument in December 1946.
Written by Karl T. Compton, an atomic physicist and president of MIT, one of the many people involved in the development of these two bombs, the article addressed the argument against the bombings.
Compton wrote, “About a week after V-J Day I was one of a small group of scientists and engineers interrogating an intelligent, well-informed Japanese Army officer in Yokohama.

We asked him what, in his opinion, would have been the next major move if the war had continued.
He replied: ‘You would probably have tried to invade our homeland with a landing operation on Kyushu about November 1. I think the attack would have been made on such and such beaches.’
“‘Could you have repelled this landing?’ we asked, and he answered: ‘It would have been a very desperate fight, but I do not think we could have stopped you.’
