Russia turns on Putin
Politicians demand ‘immediate withdrawal’ from Ukraine as 100 servicemen are fired for refusing to take part in the invasion
A veteran Russian legislator has issued an appeal to Vladimir Putin to stop military action, bring his troops home and end the war in Ukraine.
Communist deputy Leonid Vasyukevich, 69, blasted the use of Moscow’s servicemen in Ukraine, as a Russian court dismissed more than 100 national guardsmen in the first case of soldiers refusing to fight in Ukraine as politicians demanded the army return home.
Members of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, a separate military branch from the Russian army refused to carry out an assignment related to Moscow's 'special operation' in Ukraine.
A military court in Russia's southern republic of Kabardino-Balkaria found that the defendants 'arbitrarily refused to perform an official assignment' and turned down their appeal.
The hearing was held behind closed doors to avoid revealing 'military secrets,' according to the Moscow Times.

A VERY interesting article published BEFORE Trump's meeting with Putin
Please read the whole article before commenting.
Here's the link;
Is Trump not only a Putin asset now, but also since 1987 ?
That might explain Trump's behavior towards Putin.
While the article goes into actual evidence, just to wet your appetite,

On June 14, 2016, the Washington Post reported that Russian hackers had broken into the Democratic National Committee’s files and gained access to its research on Donald Trump. A political world already numbed by Trump’s astonishing rise barely took notice. News reports quoted experts who suggested the Russians merely wanted more information about Trump to inform their foreign-policy dealings. By that point, Russia was already broadcasting its strong preference for Trump through the media. Yet when news of the hacking broke, nobody raised the faintest suspicions that Russia wished to alter the outcome of the election, let alone that Trump or anybody connected with him might have been in cahoots with a foreign power.
It was a third-rate cyberburglary. Nothing to see here.
The unfolding of the Russia scandal has been like walking into a dark cavern. Every step reveals that the cave runs deeper than we thought, and after each one, as we wonder how far it goes, our imaginations are circumscribed by the steps we have already taken. The cavern might go just a little farther, we presume, but probably not much farther. And since trying to discern the size and shape of the scandal is an exercise in uncertainty, we focus our attention on the most likely outcome, which is that the story goes a little deeper than what we have already discovered. Say, that Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort told their candidate about the meeting they held at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer after they were promised dirt on Hillary Clinton; and that Trump and Kushner have some shady Russian investments; and that some of Trump’s advisers made some promises about lifting sanctions.
But what if that’s wrong? What if we’re still standing closer to the mouth of the cave than the end?
The media has treated the notion that Russia has personally compromised the president of the United States as something close to a kook theory. A minority of analysts, mostly but not exclusively on the right, have promoted aggressively exculpatory interpretations of the known facts, in which every suspicious piece of evidence turns out to have a surprisingly innocent explanation. And it is possible, though unlikely, that every trail between Trump Tower and the Kremlin extends no farther than its point of current visibility.
What is missing from our imagination is the unlikely but possible outcome on the other end: that this is all much worse than we suspect. After all, treating a small probability as if it were nonexistent is the very error much of the news media made in covering the presidential horse race. And while the body of publicly available information about the Russia scandal is already extensive, the way it has been delivered — scoop after scoop of discrete nuggets of information — has been disorienting and difficult to follow. What would it look like if it were reassembled into a single narrative, one that distinguished between fact and speculation but didn’t myopically focus on the most certain conclusions ?................

Project Veritas is an American far-right activist group founded by James O'Keefe .
And while some may lie and say that Project Veritas has never lost a court case this is only because O'Keefe always settles out of court, so he can imply he has never lost a case while admitting he is always guilty of all and any charges made against him.
O'Keefe is a little shit and anyone who follows him sinks just like him.

Biden on gas prices - Basically 'Let them eat cake'
Biden praises high gas prices as part of ‘incredible transition’.
Out of touch as ever, President Biden celebrated record-high gas prices Monday, gushing that the pump pain was part of “an incredible transition” of the US economy away from fossil fuels.
“ it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over,” Biden said during a press conference in Japan following his meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The president then insisted that his administration’s actions, rather than increasing the price of gas, had actually been able to “keep it from getting worse — and it’s bad.”
Only then did Biden pay lip service to millions of Americans who have found themselves spending thousands of extra dollars to fuel up their vehicles.
“The price of gas at the pump is something that I told you — you heard me say before — it would be a matter of great discussion at my kitchen table when I was a kid growing up,” Biden said before admitting, “It’s affecting a lot of families.”
As Biden spoke, the average cost of a gallon of gas nationwide sat at $4.596 per gallon. Several states are seeing an average cost of more than $5, while California’s average cost sits just above $6, according to AAA.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, the US and several of its Western allies cut off all imports of Russian oil and gas — which has contributed to soaring gas prices for Americans.
In an effort to counter that, Biden announced the release of 180 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which his administration claimed would cause prices at the pump to “come down fairly significantly.”
At the time, the average price of gas was $4.225 per gallon.
“It’s helped, but it’s not been enough,” Biden claimed Monday.
Elsewhere in the presser, the president admitted the US economy has “problems,” warning that it will be “a haul” and “take some time” to recover.
Republicans blasted the president on social media, with many accusing Biden of celebrating the higher gas prices as Democrats continue to push a radical environmental agenda.
“Democrats are celebrating the higher gas prices Americans are paying,” the National Republican Congressional Committee tweeted.
“Biden refers to the skyrocketing gas prices as an ‘incredible transition.’ They’re saying the quiet part out loud now,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) wrote. “They’re causing you pain at the pump because it’s all part of their radical agenda.”

GA judge orders ‘strangely pristine’ mail-in ballots, that look photocopied, to be guarded
Georgia is questioning the validity of a large number of mail-in ballots from last November that allegedly appear to be identical Xeroxed copies that are uncreased, and use identical paper and ink.
Fulton County poll manager Suzi Voyles has never seen anything like it during her 20 years of monitoring elections in Fulton County. “All of them were strangely pristine,” she noted. She noticed the discrepancy as she sorted through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November. As she went through the ballots she saw that a number of the ones cast for Joe Biden were strangely similar to each other right down to the ink and paper.
The votes were identical in nature with perfectly filled ovals. Each of the bubbles featured an identical white void inside them that was shaped like a tiny crescent. The darkened ovals appear to have been copied rather than filled in with a pen or pencil according to RealClearInvestigations.
Voyles also noted that the ballots in question were printed on different paper than the others she had counted. None of them were folded or creased either which is the norm for mail-in ballots since they arrive in envelopes.
The stack of ballots was labeled “State Farm Arena.” There were 110 ballots in that particular stack and all but three of them were marked for Biden. They appeared to be “identical ballots.”
Voyles came forward and voiced her concerns over the anomaly. For her diligence, she was fired as a poll manager by the Fulton County Department of Elections. “I got the boot for speaking the truth,” she said.
She was not alone in noticing the oddity of the ballots. At least three other poll workers all witnessed the same identical ballots.
