Yesterday the Russians posted a video of a Russian soldier castrating a captured Ukrainian soldier with a straight razor. In all likelihood the Ukrainian soldier died from blood loss and shock. The Russian soldier has been identified and will have a bounty on his head, as will his whole unit. The Russians then announced that Ukrainian artillery shelled a POW camp, killing all 50 Ukrainian soldiers. However, the Russians also announced that no Russian personnel were harmed or killed. The Ukrainian military stated that this was the place where torturing and killing of Ukrainian soldiers was taking place and that Russians bombed the camp to hide the evidence.

Rourke was harassed in the first quarter and some of the second, but it looked to me that the offensive line coach changed the blocking assignments t half time and that pretty much stifled the Rider pass rush. That's what coaches are supposed to do but the Riders had no answers.

The Riders' best receiver had 4 catches for 45 yards. And it wasn't Duke.

Could it be the meds?

Trump's Homeland Security Watchdog Scuttled Efforts To Recover Secret Service Texts: Report The Department of Homeland Security’s internal watchdog last year suddenly scrapped plans to recover missing Secret Service text messages linked to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, sources have told The Washington Post. The crucial texts were lost as the Secret Service switched to a new system and new devices. After learning of the vanished texts, DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari’s office initially planned in February 2021 to contact all Homeland Security agencies, offering data specialists to help retrieve any relevant messages from their phones, according to government whistleblowers who provided reports to Congress, the Post reported. But according to three sources who spoke with the Post, Cuffari’s office suddenly decided later that month not to collect phones or review any data. A senior forensics analyst in Cuffari’s office had arranged to collect some phones, according to sources. But late on the night of Feb. 18, one of several deputies who “report to Cuffari’s team” wrote an email to investigators instructing them not to take the phones and not to seek any data from them, according to a copy of an internal record shared with the Post.

Experience for a safety is critical and Thompson had garnered enough to become effective just as he got dinged. Hallett will definitely be targeted.

Just finished skimming through Riderfans. The wailing and gnashing of teeth was wonderful- not one defender of any part of the Rider team. A lot of anger and sarcasm: Originally posted by GreenRumbling green is the colour envy is our sin we want our neighbours players anytime they win so b͏itch and moan in the rain and wind this is how its always been

Hughes has disappeared.

Just like his team.

Looks like the wheels have fallen right off the Rider offence and Fajardo ought to start chirping at his receivers, o-line and refs real soon.

To be honest, we were pretty stacked at receiver then.

Very happy to see Rourke finding his game. Even happier to see the Riders deflating.

Aaaand...there it is!

Mo Mentum on BC's side now.

Nice to see Rourke settle down after a pretty shaky first half. He is not getting too much protection from his blockers and maybe ripping off a couple of runs would loosen up the pass coverage and pass rush. Lions are getting ZERO production from their kick return game and their returner looks slow and tentative.

Might need a strong stomach to watch the rest of the game.

BC defence looking pretty porous so far. Front seven looks suspect. Poop.

Lions need to stay close in the game. Pressure on Fajardo will throw him off his game soon. One good hit ought to do it.

NOT a classic game. Lotsa oopsies.

I think it was the last hit on Lawler when I thought Lawler was not going to stand up afterwards.

I suspect the Bomber brain trust is way ahead of us on this. The FIFO factor may play into this.

The phones of Homeland Security leaders Chad Wolf and Ken Cuccinelli reportedly were wiped, much like those of Trump's Secret Service agents. The government phones of Chad Wolf, former acting DHS secretary, and Ken Cuccinelli, an acting deputy secretary, reportedly were “reset” when they left the government in January 2021, wiping their texts. The DHS Office of Inspector General was notified of the missing texts in February, but failed to inform Congress and made no efforts to recover the records, the Post reported. This is not the first time Joseph Cuffari’s office has been criticized for withholding information from congressional lawmakers. Cuffari reportedly knew that Secret Service agents deleted almost all text messages from Jan. 6, 2021, for months, but did not tell lawmakers until recently. The chair of the House Jan. 6 committee called the deletions “troubling.” “It is extremely troubling that the issue of deleted text messages related to the January 6 attack on the Capitol is not limited to the Secret Service, but also includes Chad Wolf and Ken Cuccinelli, who were running DHS at the time,” committee Chair Bennie Thompson (R-Miss.) told the Post in a statement.

Which was exactly what Filmon and Co. wanted. I recall that the consultant(s) demanded a $100,000 remodeling of the office(s) they were housed in. And got it.

Russia Sending Mercenaries to Hold Ukrainian Frontline as Troop Casualties Pile Up: U.K. With infantry losses stacking up, Russia is increasingly turning to mercenaries to hold key front line sectors in its war in Ukraine, a British defense report said Friday. The U.K.’s defense department said Putin was sending private military contractors from Wagner Group to carry out duties normally performed by enlisted soldiers. “This is a significant change from the previous employment of the group since 2015, when it typically undertook missions distinct from overt, large-scale regular Russian military activity,” the British defense ministry tweeted. “Wagner’s role has probably changed because the Russian [ministry of defense] has a major shortage of combat infantry, however Wagner forces are highly unlikely to be sufficient to make a significant difference in the trajectory of the war.”

Justice Alito Mocks World Leaders Who Criticized Court's Abortion Ruling Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito used part of the keynote speech on religious liberty he gave last week to joke about the criticisms he received from world leaders for overturning abortion rights in the United States. Speaking from Rome at an event hosted by Notre Dame Law School, Alito said the abortion rights case prompted “a few second thoughts” on his belief that American judges have no business critiquing other countries’ court rulings. “I had the honor this term of writing, I think, the only Supreme Court decision in the history of that institution that has been lambasted by a whole string of foreign leaders,” he said, pausing for laughter from the audience, “who felt perfectly fine commenting on American law.” “One of these was former [British] Prime Minister Boris Johnson, but he paid the price,” Alito said mockingly, prompting more laughs. He threw in a legal joke: “Post hoc ergo propter hoc, right?” Johnson had called the decision a “backwards step.” He recently stepped down over an unrelated string of scandals. “But others are still in office,” Alito continued. “President [Emmanuel] Macron and Prime Minister Trudeau I believe are two.” Canada’s Justin Trudeau called the decision “horrific,” and the French leader released a statement expressing solidarity with Americans “whose freedoms have today been compromised by the U.S. Supreme Court.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/alito-rome-dobbs-abortion_n_62e
