White House issues a whopping nine corrections to Biden's NAACP speech transcript
Biden suggested that he was vice president during the coronavirus pandemic

The White House transcript made nine corrections to President Biden’s gaffe-filled speech to the NAACP on Monday.

Biden made multiple confusing comments and flubbed words while speaking to the civil rights organization in Michigan the night before. One notable one included his suggestion he was vice president during the COVID-19 pandemic, which began nearly four years after he left office.

"When I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic," Biden said near the beginning of his remarks. "And, what happened was Barack [Obama] said to me: ‘Go to Detroit — help fix it.’"

The next day, the White House’s correction implied that Biden intended to say "recession," referencing the Great Recession when he assumed the vice presidency in 2009.

A Ukrainian commander had Russian troops in his sights but couldn't attack. He says a US rule is to blame.

Thibault Spirlet  •  6h

A Ukrainian commander operating near the Russian border described how his unit watched as Russia amassed a huge force but had to wait for the troops to cross the border to hit them.

"There were a lot of Russians gathering, and we could have destroyed them on the way in, but we don't have many ATACMS, and we have a ban on using them over there," he told The Times of London.

Drago, a special forces commander with Ukraine's Kraken detachment, was redeployed, along with his unit and other special forces troops, in April from the eastern Donbas region to Kharkiv to strengthen Ukraine's forces there, per the Times.

But instead of hitting the Russians, he and his unit were forced to watch as the troops gathered on their side of the border, according to the outlet.

"We had to wait for them to cross," he said, referring to a US policy that bans Ukrainian forces from using US-supplied weapons to strike targets inside Russia.  .  .

Inflation will "stabilize" means stuff gets more expensive at a less variable rate.

Correct.  Inflation will "stabilize" at 7% per annum.  And she thinks that's a good thing.

The only scenario I can imagine here is Shortbus Joe is intending to send stuff to Hamas, and screw the civilians.  Hamas is converting the stolen aid into cash by creating a black market, forcing the rest of the people to spend what little they have. 

They are killing their own people, as they have for the past 80 years.   :shrug:

Oakland Can't Won't Stop Traffic Light Theft

She'll be facing recall in November, but Alameda County's DA is uninterested in prosecuting crime.

Oakland City Council had members who are police-haters, and officers who do their jobs "too well" do so at the risk of their careers and manner of life.

The Mayor of the City of Oakland is an Olympic-class Egyptian-River-swimmer where crime is concerned.

This is the culmination of decades of political stupidity.

A Helicopter Crashes, and an Opportunity is Missed
By John F. Di Leo

“My condolences.”

“I’m so sorry for your loss.”

“My sympathies.”

“May he rest in peace.”

Raised as we are in Western civilization, we have an instinctive response when we hear of someone’s death, whether by natural causes, by accident, or even by murder.  We think first of his or her family and friends, we naturally empathize with their sorrow, and we wish them these words and more, heartfelt and seriously.

We would be sad if a loved one died, and we assume that everyone must have loved ones. Our sympathy is automatic.

One wouldn’t think this would be a problem, but in politics, and therefore in the press as well, it can be – because there are people who have no loved ones, and with good reason; there are people who will not, and more importantly should not, be missed.

Don't cry wolf. The quarantine of the poultry farm in Oz is a quarantine of the birds, standard procedure.

FWIW, Victoria is Australia's smallest state (ignoring their equivalent of our DC). It's located in southeast Australia, and the one major city (and port) is Melbourne. Across Bass Strait is the island of Tasmania.

No, he didn't.

Even Snopes has acknowledged/admitted that Trump did not say that or post it to Truth Social, https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/unified-reich-trump/ . It was a creation of a third party posted to Trump's Truth Social account by a careless staffer.
