  6. These individuals are probably as effective in one portfolio as another.
  7. Germany is sending war materiel to Ukraine, and is no longer opposing locking Russia out of the SWIFT banking system, and European teams are refusing to play Russian teams. Every bit counts.
  8. 'Attempt to interfere:' Former Alberta justice minister officially removed from post EDMONTON — Suspended Alberta justice minister Kaycee Madu was moved to another cabinet post Friday following a report that concluded he tried to interfere in the administration of justice over a traffic ticket. © Provided by The Canadian Press Premier Jason Kenney, in a news release, announced that Madu takes over as labour minister from Tyler Shandro, and Shandro becomes the new justice minister. “Given (the report’s) findings, and the unique role of the office of the minister of justice and solicitor general, I have concluded that it would be appropriate for minister Madu to step aside from that position,” Kenney wrote. (But not fired)
  9. Investigators reveal new details about Bob Saget’s death, say it’s “definitely an unusual case” Earlier this month, Orange County Sheriff officials revealed that Bob Saget sustained an accidental blow to the back of his head and passed in his sleep. On Wednesday, officials proposed a new theory about the "Full House" star's final moments after uncovering new details from video footage. According to PEOPLE, Saget was last seen exiting the ninth-floor elevator of the Ritz-Carlton Orlando hotel in Florida and walking down the hallway towards his room. Authorities who reviewed the surveillance video said that Saget "showed no sign of distress." Saget reportedly hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the doorknob and entered his room at 2:17 a.m. His door remained closed until the following afternoon on Jan. 9, when officials responded to a man-down call around 4 p.m. and found him unresponsive. Saget was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities believe that Saget lost consciousness in his room's bathroom, fell backwards and struck his head on the marble floor. No blood or hair were found on the bathroom's marble end tables and counters. Authorities also believe that Saget regained consciousness before getting into bed. He lost consciousness again and died in his sleep. His time of death was said to be around 4 a.m. "It's definitely an unusual case," an Orange County Sheriff's deputy told PEOPLE. "There are still a lot of unanswered questions." Last Tuesday, Saget's widow, Kelly Rizzo, and their three daughters filed a lawsuit against Orange County Sheriff John Mina and the medical examiner's office, asking that they don't release graphic medical records concerning Saget's death. The family explained that the public release of such records would cause them to "suffer irreparable harm in the form of extreme mental pain, anguish and emotional distress." The Orange County Sheriff's Department countered the request, stating that they must uphold their "commitment to transparency." According to his autopsy report, Saget tested positive for COVID-19 prior to his death. He suffered from skull fractures, brain injuries, abrasions and blood buildup within his skull and scalp. A sedative medication and an antidepressant were also found in his system.
  10. Ukraine updates: Fighting has moved from the Airport at Kyiv to the suburbs of that city. A Ukrainian lieutenant detonated a bomb at a bridge to stop the Russian advance, completing his mission but dying. A Ukrainian fighter pilot has 6 confirmed Russian aircraft kills. Tanks flying the Russian flags are in downtown Kyiv. Ukrainians are preparing Molotov cocktails. Sweden and Romania are sending weapons. A Ukrainian garrison on the coast was ordered to surrender by a Russian warship and told them to f*ck themselves. All 13 were killed in the subsequent shelling. A Russian tank column was wiped out en route to Kyiv. BBC estimates some 200 Ukrainian military dead and 600 Russian dead.
  11. China will side with Russia when it suits them to do so, but they have no emotional investment in propping Russia up. I suspect that they are watching the response to Russia's invasion and occupation of Ukraine as a precursor of what would happen if they do that to Taiwan.
  12. NEW YORK (AP) — Filmmaker and actor Sean Penn is in Ukraine to continue work on a documentary about the ongoing Russian assault. The Office of the President wrote in a Facebook post Thursday that Penn attended press briefings, met with Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk and spoke to journalists and military personnel about the Russian invasion. “Sean Penn demonstrates the courage that many others, especially western politicians lack,” the president’s office wrote on Facebook. “The director specially came to Kiev to record all the events that are currently happening in Ukraine and to tell the world the truth about Russia’s invasion of our country.” He was also there in late November to work on the project, which is being produced by VICE Studios. Photographs at the time showed him visiting the frontlines of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near the Donetsk region. The Oscar-winner has been involved in numerous international humanitarian and anti-war efforts over the years and founded the non-profit disaster relief organization CORE in response to the 2010 earthquakes in Haiti, chronicled in the documentary “Citizen Penn.”
  13. BBC is reprting that Russian soldiers have been given a list of Ukrainian leaders to be captured or killed.
  14. Unfortunately, the Russians are used to brutal, authoritarian rule as very few have ever experienced anything else, so most are fatalistic about goverments.
  15. Ms. Kellerman had been very active in the animal rights movement for decades.
  16. The fate of Ukraine is likely to be decided tomorrow. Russians seized the airport near Kyiyv earlier today, but where out or captured by Ukrainian forces. The Russian plan is to retake the airport at all costs so they can bring in their massive troop transport airpanes to take the Ukrainian capital, as they believe this will collapse all resistance.
  17. The distorted "freedom" of the truck convoys: “A huge number of Americans want a dictatorship" The Republican-fascists and other "conservatives" have convinced themselves and their followers that freedom is the same thing as license. Real freedom involves a sense of responsibility to others, obligation to the common good and respect for reason and the truth. Moreover, as historian Timothy Snyder presciently warned in 2017, "to abandon facts is to abandon freedom" and "post-truth is pre-fascism." License is a belief that one can act without consequences — and that any attempts to limit that dangerous behavior and its negative impact on others is some type of "tyranny" or "dictatorship" or "oppression." This crude and debased version of "freedom" as embraced by fascists and other members of today's right wing and "conservative" movement also emphasizes the importance of force and the ability of the powerful to force their will on the less powerful with impunity. Here social dominance behavior is taken as ultimate proof of the merits of one's freedom claims instead of as evidence of how anti-social and other anti-human behavior undermines and ultimately destroys the types of bonds, relationships and mutual respect for human rights and human dignity that are foundational for real freedom in a healthy polity. Liberals, progressives, Democrats, "traditional" conservatives and others who believe in the liberal democratic tradition are committed to abstract principles and ideals. The Republican-fascists and other members of the global neofascist movement are goal-oriented nihilists and pragmatists who live in the realm of the here and now and where might ultimately makes everything right. This is the focal point where the battle for the future of American and Western democracy is being fought. To this point, the Republican-fascists and the global right are winning. Their opponents are crying about "principles" and "the rules" and "the norms" while being bowled over. In all, the Republican-fascists and other elements of the global right are involved in a revolutionary program of destruction where the language and rhetoric of "freedom" is being used to undermine and eventually destroy and then replace pluralistic multiracial democracy with white minority apartheid rule.
  18. according to Donald Trump, it is all because of him losing the rigged election.
