Moscow preparing response to Kiev’s ATACMS attacks – MOD –Ukraine has launched several US-supplied long-range missiles on targets in Russia’s Kursk Region over past three days, the ministry said | 26 Nov 2024 | Russia is preparing a response to Ukrainian ATACMS attacks on Kursk Region, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday. Last week, Joe Biden authorized Kiev to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles against targets deep inside Russia’s internationally recognized borders. In an official statement on Telegram, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that over the past three days, Ukraine’s forces had conducted two long-range strikes on Kursk Region using Western weaponry. On November 23, Kiev reportedly fired five long-range ATACMS missiles at village of Lotaryovka, some 37km northwest of the city of Kursk, targeting the position of an S-400 anti-aircraft missile division. The strike resulted in three casualties and damaged the radar, the ministry said.
 
Ukraine conflict entering ‘critical stage’ – UK –Western Europe should “redouble” its support for Kiev, British Defense Secretary John Healey has insisted | 26 Nov 2024 | The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is entering a “critical stage,” meaning that Kiev needs even more support from its foreign backers, British Defense Secretary John Healey has said. Healey was commenting following a meeting of the defense ministers of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Poland in Berlin on Monday. Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov joined the event via video link. “We discussed with Rustem Umerov the need to redouble our support for Ukraine because the defense of Europe, the defense of the UK, starts in Ukraine, and if [Russian President Vladimir] Putin prevails in Ukraine, he will not stop there,” the UK defense secretary claimed. Healey suggested “the war in Ukraine is entering a critical stage” and urged the Western European nations “to step up our security and our collective defense.”
 
Europe preps for WWIII as secret German documents reveal plans for 800K troops in case Russia invades NATO | 20 Nov 2024 | Secret documents revealed Wednesday that Berlin has begun making plans for how it could help deploy as many as 800,000 NATO troops — including Americans — into Ukraine as Russia’s nuclear U.S. saber-rattling [and insanely providing long-range missiles to strike inside Russia] reaches new heights. “Operation Deutschland” is a 1,000-page plan to prepare Germany for the possibility of a World War III scenario. The top-secret papers reportedly detail specific buildings and infrastructure to protect so they can be utilized by the military, and how businesses and civilians should prepare in case of increased threats, according to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. They also suggested Berlin was preparing a way to push 200,000 military vehicles across German territory should the alliance be required to join Ukraine’s efforts, though further details were kept classified.
 
NATO admiral urges businesses to prepare for ‘wartime scenario’ | 25 Nov 2024 | Businesses in NATO countries should prepare themselves for a “wartime scenario” and adjust their production lines and supply chains to be less vulnerable to blackmail by nations such as Russia and China, the outgoing chief of the U.S.-led bloc’s military committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, said on Monday. Speaking at a European Policy Center think-tank event in Brussels, he urged Western industries and businesses to implement deterrence measures. “If we can make sure that all crucial services and goods can be delivered no matter what, then that is a key part of our deterrence,” Bauer argued. “Businesses need to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly,” the NATO official said.

Among the structures being considered are metro stations, underground car parks, and some other state buildings, the spokesman told reporters on Monday.

Once the list is compiled, Germans will be able to use an app to locate their nearest bunker.
 
Russia accuses Ukraine of massacring civilians in attempted ‘false flag’ –Residents of Selidovo have testified about Kiev’s forces committing war crimes | 25 Nov 2024 | The Russian Foreign Ministry has accused Ukrainian forces of executing civilians in a Donbass town as part of a “false flag” operation designed to wrongly frame Moscow for war crimes. Witnesses claim that mercenaries, including alleged Polish nationals, carried out the killings before retreating in the face of advancing Russian troops. Selidovo, located about 15 kilometers south of Pokrovsk in Donetsk, was under Kiev’s control until it was fully secured by Russian forces on October 29. Rodion Miroshnik, a senior Ministry official tasked with gathering evidence of Ukrainian war crimes, stated on Monday that the killings were part of a deliberate effort by Kiev to accuse Russia of atrocities.
 
Russia liberates another Donbass settlement – MOD | 27 Nov 2024 | The Russian Defense Ministry has announced the liberation of the village of Novaya Ilyinka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).

Israel-Lebanon ceasefire: Netanyahu says he is ready to implement deal | 26 Nov 2024 | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he was ready to implement a ceasefire deal with Lebanon and would respond forcefully to any violation by Hezbollah, declaring Israel would retain “complete military freedom of action.” In a television address, Netanyahu said he would put the ceasefire accord to his full cabinet later in the evening. Israeli TV reported that the more restricted security cabinet had earlier approved the deal. The accord, clearing the way for an end to a conflict that has killed thousands of people since it was ignited by the Gaza war last year, was brokered by the United States and France and was expected to take effect on Wednesday. “We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to any violation. Together, we will continue until victory,” Netanyahu said.
 
EU states must arrest Netanyahu – bloc’s top diplomat | 26 Nov 2024 | European Union member states must heed the International Criminal Court (ICC) and arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he set foot on their territory, the bloc’s foreign policy chief has insisted. Josep Borrell argued that failure to do so would undermine the EU’s credibility. Last Thursday, the Hague-based ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas commander Ibrahim al-Masri, charging them with war crimes and crimes against humanity linked to the ongoing Gaza conflict. While Israel is not a signatory to the Rome Statute governing the ICC, the court has jurisdiction over the West Bank and Gaza and 123 countries worldwide, including all EU states.

The mosquito-driven virus was found in a resident of Cameron County, which is the southernmost county in the state, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). “It has been a highly active year for dengue virus globally. As of today, there have been 106 travel-associated dengue cases, including one death reported in Texas,” the agency said Monday.  
 
RNC rails against California’s late mail-in ballot counting amid national litigation: ‘It is absurd’ | 27 Nov 2024 | The Republican National Committee (RNC) said it has filed national lawsuits to stop several states from counting mail-in-ballots after Election Day, as California has taken nearly a month to certify some races. “It is absurd for California to accept ballots by mail up to 7 days after Election Day and take almost a month to count them,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley wrote on X. Whatley said the RNC, alongside the California Republican Party, “will continue to fight aggressively to force all states to stop accepting ballots after Election Day.” Republicans on the ground in California are working with attorneys and observers “throughout the process of voting, curing, and counting,” he added.  
 
Democrat Derek Tran Ousts Republican Incumbent Michelle Steel in OC’s Bright Red District 45 More Than 3 Weeks After Election Day | 27 Nov 2024 | Democrat Derek Tran unseated Republican incumbent Michelle Steel in Orange County, California’s bright red District 45 more than 3 weeks after Election Day. Rep. Michelle Steel conceded on Wednesday, one day after Derek Tran declared victory. Rep. Steel served two consecutive terms in Congress. This is what happens when ballot harvesting is legal, ballot “curing” for weeks after the election is allowed and there is no voter ID. Trump carried the down ballot and flipped several blue counties red in California. The red wave in California was so big that even Los Angeles swung to the right by 16%. However, in a miracle of all miracles, Democrats somehow won Orange County’s bright red Districts 45 and 47 AFTER Election Day. Every ballot dump AFTER the election went in favor of Democrat Derek Tran — this is brazen fraud. [And the grifters, frauds, and useless eaters aka the RNC does *nothing.*]
 
Trump appoints lockdown sceptic to head National Institutes of Health –Jay Bhattacharya has criticised Anthony Fauci and claimed universities manufactured an ‘illusion’ of consensus during pandemic | 27 Nov 2024 | Donald Trump has appointed Jay Bhattacharya, a prominent lockdown sceptic, to lead the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Bhattacharya, who argued that blanket lockdown restrictions during the Covid pandemic caused “unnecessary suffering and death,” will take charge of the federal research agency, if confirmed by the Senate. In a statement, Mr. Trump noted the Stanford University professor’s opposition to lockdowns and said he would work alongside his new health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, to “improve health and save lives.” “Together, Jay and RFK Jr. will restore the NIH to a gold standard of medical research as they examine the underlying causes of, and solutions to, America’s biggest health challenges, including our crisis of chronic illness and disease,” he said late on Tuesday.
 
Special counsel Jack Smith moves to drop both federal criminal cases against Trump | 25 Nov 2024 | Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday dropped one of his criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump and was on the verge of dropping the other — a termination that is required, Smith said, by Justice Department policy that bars continuing the prosecutions once Trump is inaugurated. In a pair of court filings, Smith said he consulted with Justice Department officials about whether an ongoing prosecution against a person elected president might proceed. Officials in the department’s Office of Legal Counsel, Smith said, concluded that a longstanding prohibition on prosecuting a sitting president applied to the two cases against Trump. The developments formalize what was already clear the moment Trump won the 2024 election: both federal criminal cases against him are about to end.
 
NYC Democrat demands firings after violent criminal is released early, then arrested in triple slashing | 25 Nov 2024 | U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres, a Democrat from the Bronx, blasted New York leaders over the weekend for failed criminal justice reforms that enabled “a homicidal rampage” in broad daylight last week, resulting in the murders of three innocent people at the hands of a violent, mentally ill man released from custody early. “The bureaucrat in DOC [Department of Correction] who authorized the early release of Ramon should be fired,” Torres wrote in a fiery letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Mayor Eric Adams, both Democrats… He added that “layers upon layers of government failure” enabled Ramon Rivera, an eight-time criminal whose most recent stint behind bars involved a transfer to the psych ward at Bellevue Hospital, where he attacked a correction officer. He blasted Hochul last week as “the new Joe Biden” and urged her to get out of the way if Democrats want to maintain their grip on power in the Empire State.
 
Illegal immigrant accused of killing distinguished pastor after daily morning run takes tragic turn –The driver had a foreign driver’s license, which is a valid form of ID in Michigan | 25 Nov 2024 | A distinguished Detroit-area pastor has died after an illegal immigrant from Colombia allegedly struck him with a car while he was out for a run on the morning of Nov. 3. Pastor Stephen Singleton’s family said on a GoFundMe page for the 72-year-old pastor that he was “out on his usual daily run,” wearing a reflective vest when he crossed the street on a crosswalk and “was hit by a man who ran through a red light.” “This man was not legally in the country and possessed no license,” Singleton’s family wrote. “[Singleton] was struck so hard that he was thrown on the windshield, breaking it. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office on Nov. 3 confirmed in a press release that a 28-year-old Colombian national driving a 2013 Ford Focus allegedly hit the man while the victim was crossing Rochester Road in Rochester Hills, a suburb of Detroit.
