California's Self-Destruction Accelerates As Anti-Trump Union Pushes Wealth Tax And More Billionaires Plot Exit
"California is on a path to self-destruction. Hollywood is already toast and now the most productive entrepreneurs will leave taking their tax revenues and job creation elsewhere," Bill Ackman wrote on X, citing a New York Times report that said several billionaires, including Peter Thiel and Larry Page, are preparing to flee the state as a proposed one-time wealth tax ballot measure gains momentum.

And then the Democrats highlight @CAgovernor Newsom as a great leader. Crazy. https://t.co/bFyLhARrNn

Russia Pummels Kiev, Hundreds Of Thousands Without Power, Ahead Of Trump-Zelensky Meeting
Russia launched a wave of attacks on Ukraine early Saturday, killing at least one person and injuring many others, and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Already the electricity grid has long suffered under such crippling attacks, with barely any time or necessary parts for repair.
The assault occurred just a day before anticipated Ukraine peace talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump, expected at Mar-A-Lago on Sunday. According to The New York Times, air raid alarms sounded around 1:30am local time as the strikes began, with Zelensky later stating on X that nearly 500 drones and 40 missiles were used, mainly on energy sites and civilian infrastructure in the capital.

Ukraine's Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram that 10 apartment buildings were hit and more than 20 people were injured. The Associated Press later updated the cas...

Musk, US Gov't In Talks Over Land Swap Deal To Expand SpaceX Launch Operations
The Trump administration is considering a proposed land swap that would transfer about 775 acres of federally protected land in the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge to SpaceX, allowing Elon Musk's rocket company to expand launch operations in the newly incorporated town of Starbase, Texas, helping ensure America continues to lead the space race into the 2030s.
New documents obtained by The New York Times show that SpaceX would give the federal government approximately 692 acres of land it owns elsewhere in Cameron County in exchange for 775 acres.
Not surprisingly, the proposed land swap has caused an uproar among conservationists and archaeologists who say the 775 acres are home to endangered species and even part of the Palmito Ranch Battlefield.
However, Fish and Wildlife Service officials have taken a more optimistic view of the proposed land swap. In an October memorandum, Stewart Jacks, the a...

"Power That Goes Unpunished Only Learns One Lesson: It Can Do Whatever It Wants..."
Authored by James Howard Kunstler,
Seeing Is Believing (Not)
"...power that goes unpunished only learns one lesson: it can do whatever it wants."
- Roger Stone
Has it occurred to you that the video footage of the hallway outside Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell that shows nobody coming or going around the hour that he “killed himself” could be fake? All authorities from the FBI to The New York Times pretend that the date-and-time stamped video is authentic, and that it proves nobody went into his cell to kill him. Nobody has questioned this. How difficult would it be to take a few hours of alternate closed-circuit TV footage of the same drab hallway from the same position, making sure nobody got on-camera, and then stick a fabricated date-and-time stamp on it? Do you suppose that the intel agencies don't have the capacity to fabricate that sort of evidence?
At this point, seeing what th...

'A Lie And Propaganda': Gabbard Fact-Checks Reuters' Russia Scaremongering In Real Time
On Saturday afternoon, Reuters posted an anonymously-sourced story pushing the idea that Russia is bent on reconstituting the Soviet Union. Before the metaphorical ink had dried, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard pounced, condemning the story as "a lie and propaganda" on behalf of "warmongers" seeking to derail President Trump's drive to end the long and bloody Ukraine war.
From selling the Iraq invasion to achieving a news and social media lockdown on Hunter Biden's laptop, the Deep State has long used major media outlets like Reuters, the New York Times and Washington Post to inject their agenda-advancing narratives into America's town square. Displaying the typical modus operandi with its Saturday night story, Reuters vaguely attributed the purported US intelligence conclusions about Russia to "six sources familiar with US intelligence."

Venezuela Vows To Defend 'Homeland At Any Cost' - Orders Naval Escorts Of Tankers
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com
Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez has said Venezuela would defend the "homeland at any cost" in response to President Trump's declaration that he's imposing a blockade on all "sanctioned" tankers entering and leaving Venezuelan ports.
"We say to the US government and its president that we are not intimidated by their crude and arrogant threats," Padrino Lopez said on Wednesday. "The dignity of this homeland is neither negotiable nor cowed by absolutely anyone."

Padrino Lopen also told state TV that the blockade violates the UN Charter. "For this reason, these actions amount to an open act of aggression, and we are declaring this to the entire world," he said.
The New York Times reported that, in the wake of Trump's threat, which he issued on Tuesday night, the Venezuelan Navy be...

"He'll Be Lucky To Have A Bookmobile": The Future Of Joe Biden's Presidential Library In Doubt As Donations Fail To Come In
Former President Joe Biden's planned monument to his presidency is becoming a brutal reality check on his legacy.
In September, the Biden camp announced plans to build his presidential library in Delaware - assembling a team of former aides, friends, and political allies to oversee the project, which is supposed to include a museum and archive.
A senior member of the Biden Foundation described the project to CBS News as a “vibrant and lasting space where history, learning, and civic leadership come together, inspiring future generations to lead with purpose, serve their communities, and strengthen our nation.”
However, a recent New York Times report suggests Biden will likely have to scale back the project.
“Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has raised only a small fraction of the money needed to construct a presidential library,” the paper rep...

Keir Starmer's office claims UK still in 'active conversations' about deal for tech industries in both countries to cooperateDowning Street insists the $40bn Tech Prosperity Deal between the US and UK that is on hold is not permanently stalled. The BBC reported on Tuesday evening that the prime minister's office claimed that the UK remains in “active conversations with US counterparts at all levels of government” about the wide-ranging deal for the technology industries in both countries to cooperate.The agreement, previously billed as historic, was paused after the US accused the UK of failing to lower trade barriers, including a digital services tax on US tech companies and food safety rules that limit the export of some agricultural products. The New York Times first reported British confirmation that negotiations had stalled. Continue reading......

Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Investigation Appears To Be On The Brink Of Implicating Zelensky
Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack,
The New York Times' recent report about his government's responsibility for the worst corruption scandal in Ukraine's history suggests that the walls are closing in and his foreign media allies are jumping ship out of desperation to retain some of their credibility after years of deifying him.
It was earlier assessed that “Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Investigation Is Turning Into A Rolling Coup” after it took down Zelensky's grey cardinal Andrey Yermak, consequently weakened the already shaky alliance keeping him in power, and thus placed more pressure upon him to cede Donbass. The latest development concerns the New York Times' (NYT) report about how “Zelensky's Government Sabotaged Oversight, Allowing Corruption to Fester”, which brings the investigation closer to implicating him.
It also represents a stunning narrative reversal after the NYT spen...
