AccuWeather forecasters on alert for major severe weather outbreak
A colossal storm is brewing for the United States, AccuWeather meteorologists say.
The storm system, which is expected to be as expansive as it is dynamic, is forecast to unfold as winter transitions into spring and will cover nearly the entire country with a variety of hazardous impacts including a widespread tornado risk, blizzard conditions and serious flooding.
“Next week has the potential to bring not only the most significant storm of March, but perhaps the entire year so far considering the duration and all of its impacts combined ranging from severe weather and tornadoes to flooding and snow and blizzard conditions as well,” said AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok adding, “This could end up being the worst storm of all of 2022 if the system and its impacts reach the maximum potential.”

The U.S. dollar may be on its way out as the global reserve currency.
Saudi Arabia is actively engaging in negotiations with Chinese officials to price oil sales to China in yuan instead of the U.S. dollar, the Wall Street Journal reported.
If the two countries decide to conduct business using the Chinese yuan instead of the U.S. dollar, this could mean trouble for America’s dominance as the global economic hegemon.
Reportedly, the Saudi talks with China have been off and on for six years but have recently begun to accelerate as Saudi leadership grows increasingly discontented with American security commitments to defend the country.
The Saudis are unhappy with the lack of American support for their intervention in the ongoing Yemen civil war and over the Biden administration’s renewed attempts to strike a deal with Iran over its nuclear program.
Saudi officials are also reportedly uncomfortable with the Biden administration’s ham-fisted withdrawal from Afghanistan last year.

@ eaglesoars:
repost from upstairs:
if the USD falls from the internations reserve currency for traded goods like the dollar, this happens:
less international demand for the dollar (us debt bonds)
lower USD value versus other currencies.
so…
the fedgov has to quit printing dollars via fiat because international demand will fall of the cliff. then we have a real debt crisis. the feds cant print at will, and a lot of our international military and aid escapades end.
the US will then go into a depression with inflation. we will not be able to maintain these trade deficits and prices will go up quite a bit due to the dollar being worth less. this has a positive effect tho. it will drive manufacture back to the US in the long run, which might not be a bad thing. there will be shortages and inflation along the way.
our debt/bonds are bought by sovereign countries because there is demand for dollar denominated transactions between all countries. its a neat system, until we decide to de-bank places like russia. countries are willing to buy our debt until we play games like that. this makes dollar denominated international trade less attractive and alternatives are created.
this would create more pain than interest rates rising. however, in the end, the US then becomes independent of the world for goods and supplies.
@ eaglesoars:
however, the yuan is not a floating currency…this means that the chicoms decide what it’s worth vis a vis other currencies. in effect, the chicoms get to pick how much they want their imported oil to cost under this regime.
the saudi dollar is pegged to the USD…
this will be very fun to watch!
“I want ordinary Western people hear me, too,” Putin said.
“You are being persistently told that your current difficulties are the result of Russia’s hostile actions and that you have to pay for the efforts to counter the alleged Russian threat from your own pockets. All of that is a lie.”
“The truth is that the problems faced by millions of people in the West are the result of many years of actions by the ruling elite of your respective countries, their mistakes, and short-sighted policies and ambitions. This elite is not thinking about how to improve the lives of their citizens in Western countries. They are obsessed with their own self-serving interests and super profits.”

Researcher uses 379-year-old algorithm to crack crypto keys
Researcher Hanno Böck said that the vulnerable SafeZone library doesn’t sufficiently randomize the two prime numbers it used to generate RSA keys. (These keys can be used to secure Web traffic, shells, and other online connections.) Instead, after the SafeZone tool selects one prime number, it chooses a prime in close proximity as the second one needed to form the key.
“The problem is that both primes are too similar,” Böck said in an interview. “So the difference between the two primes is really small.” The SafeZone vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2022-26320.
Cryptographers have long known that RSA keys that are generated with primes that are too close together can be trivially broken with Fermat’s factorization method. French mathematician Pierre de Fermat first described this method in 1643.

There’s some bill the Dems are trying to pass about crypto, supposedly to prevent Russia from using it to avoid sanctions. Not the important part. This is the important part
For example, FBI Director Christopher Wray said last Thursday at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing:
The Russians’ ability to circumvent the sanctions with cryptocurrency is probably highly overestimated on the part of maybe them and others. We are, as a community and with our partners overseas, far more effective on that than I think sometimes they appreciate.
We have built up significant expertise both at the FBI and with some of our partners, and there have been some very significant seizures and other efforts that I think have exposed the vulnerability of cryptocurrency as a way to get around sanctions.

I’d say the first link about European countries with large shopping lists for weapons makes a lot of sense. Europe should have been building its defense capabilities for decades. Instead, they were happy to let the US serve as their border sentry and let us spend our defense dollars defending Europe. One of the benefits from the Biden administration is that those countries can now see how fickle and feckless the US can be as a guarantor of security if a passive, weak, and anti-American administration is in charge. Their first lesson was Biden’s complete surrender and retreat in Afghanistan. The really weak and passive “strongly worded letters” to Russia over Ukraine and China over, well, just about any issue are showing those countries that if they don’t want to be vassals of China or Russia, they better be thinking about standing up for themselves.

* Setting up a side deal with China on oil so as not to get left out of any future Belt-and-Road deal that China signs.
* Cold feet by Saudi after a raft of US ham-fisted operations (i.e. Afghanistan) indicating US leadership has dissolved.

On 26 February 2022, the West decided to confiscate the reserves of a sovereign nation held in a variety of G10 currencies. The Russian Central Bank lost access to $630 billion worth of reserves. In addition, various large, systemically important Russian commercial banks were removed from the SWIFT network. And then, of their own accord, many private businesses decided to cease trading in any capacity with Russia or Russia-domiciled businesses. JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are recent examples of American banks that “cancelled” Russia.
Why should any central bank “save” in any Western fiat currency, when their savings can be expropriated arbitrarily and unilaterally by the operators of the digital fiat monetary networks?
And China is one of the largest holders of US government debt. This $3 to $4 trillion in savings is now a sitting duck for confiscation by the West at any moment.

@ darkwords:
His summation.
On a medium-term basis, it is time to back up the John Deere excavator and scoop up as much gold and Bitcoin as you can afford. This is it, the start of a monetary regime change. Nothing lasts forever, and the days of Petro / Eurodollar supremacy are over. The phase shift will be chaotic, it will be volatile, it will morph, but it will 100% be MASSIVELY inflationary in fiat currency terms.
** The Chinese are gold centric. It’s written into their culture that land and gold are the two best hedges against instability. Chinese are probably already increasing their gold purchases.
What I see being said is that the USA is destroying its reserve currency position and the costs will be passed on as inflation and born by the poor.
Putin destroying Ukraine causing the US and the EU to destroy their own currencies.

For a solid five minutes this week, I believed that an elderly woman in New York City had killed and decapitated another elderly woman. I believed it because it was in the papers. It was there in black and white. In the apartment of this ‘83-year-old Brooklyn woman’, the New York Times reported, cops found the decapitated head of Susan Leyden, a 68-year-old lady who had gone missing. Police became suspicious of the 83-year-old woman and so they ‘searched her apartment’, the BBC said, wherein they found ‘a human head’. A few days later, not far from this seemingly evil woman’s apartment, they also found Ms Leyden’s leg and torso. Grim. And surely unprecedented. When was the last time a very old woman was alleged to have killed and then gruesomely dismembered another woman?
.
.
So it wasn’t a woman. It wasn’t an 83-year-old lady who somehow summoned up the wickedness and the power to allegedly kill and horrifically mutilate a 68-year-old woman. It was a man. The NYT’s headline was a flagrant lie. So was the BBC’s entire account of this ‘woman’, she, allegedly killing Ms Leyden and then brutalising her corpse. I had been told, in no uncertain terms, that a woman killed a woman, and it was completely untrue.
.
.
This is the horrifying story of Harvey Marcelin (the name should have been a giveaway), who has been charged with second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse in relation to the death of Susan Leyden. Mr Marcelin has killed before. Women, of course.

WAR PLANS Russian state TV discusses invasion plan for seizing Baltic states as Nato sends thousands of troops to eastern Europe

You have got to be kidding me.
We are learning March 18 something that apparently slipped under the radar for a few days.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “quietly” made some changes to its data tracker website on March 15, removing tens of thousands of deaths from COVID-19, nearly a quarter of which were those for young people under 18.
They tell us this occurred because of a “coding logic error.”
I wonder how many they would have had to remove if they included those who were registered by hospitals—for profit or otherwise—as having died from the virus when they had multiple other of what we have learned to call co-morbidities. (If there’s one thing we can say for the pandemic, it built our vocabularies.)
In other words, they didn’t necessarily die of COVID-19, but the hospitals said they did, a different kind of coding error, I guess.

All of this is the fundamental change represented by western government in the agenda of ‘building back better’.
(IEA) In the face of the emerging global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, practical actions by governments and citizens in advanced economies and beyond can achieve significant reductions in oil demand in a matter of months, reducing the risk of a major supply crunch, according to new analysis released by the International Energy Agency today.

How can they explain any of this data?
I have over 50 pieces of data that is simply impossible to explain if the vaccines are safe and effective.
I’m starting with just one item right now which is the only item you need to know to stop the vaccine mandates. It is so important, I wanted to push it out now.
UK government data shows the vaccines make things worse. We were misled.
This is data from an unimpeachable source: the UK government in its week 32 to 35 report for 2021. Look at the rates per 100,000 for doubly vaxxed vs. unvaccinated people for age ranges 40 to 80. Yup, you are more likely to be infected if you are vaccinated in each sub-range within 40 to 80. So there is no age confounding on this data. It’s simply impossible to explain. It shows why vaccine mandates are making you more susceptible to infection for people 40 to 80, not better.

The last 6 months I have been having problems understanding double negative arguements.

IF not A plus not B equals C I can look at the argument for an hour and not follow it well. I used to grasp it instantly.
The subjective mind doesn’t process negatives. So it looks like I have started skipping an objective reasoning process I used to use. that would be a brain malfunction or maybe a feature of something and not a bug.

They must replace him, otherwise they themselves risk being replaced, which would be intolerable.
what do you know, all that stuff about Hunter’s laptop was on the level, like Joe Biden’s bizarre suggestion a couple of days ago that “everybody knows somebody” who has taken nude pictures of some lover and then used them to “blackmail” the person—all that has a different valence now that the Biden Administration is seriously underwater and there are no lifelines in evidence.
The issue is never the issue. I suspect that Joe Biden is being prepped for ejection. Exactly how it will happen I do not yet know. But he is on the threshold, or possibly has even passed the threshold, where he could appear to govern

This is a good read/summary on why we’re going to be looking at high prices for awhile
For starters, China is now an economic superpower…But manufacturing in a ‘rich’ country is also a LOT more expensive.
So, regardless of whether a business chooses to manufacture at home or abroad, they’re almost guaranteed to suffer higher production costs. And that means consumers will be paying more.
.
.
Historic shifts in the labor market will also be a major contributor to inflation.
For example, there have never been more retirees in the history of the world than there are right now. And their numbers are growing.

HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra Promotes Critical Race Theory-Based ‘Health Equity’ as Top Priority
Health and Human Services (HHS) Sec. Xavier Becerra on Friday identified “health equity” as the department’s top priority under his leadership.
“Health equity has to be part of everything we do,” Becerra said, during an address marking his first year in office. “You will see health equity pervades everything we do.”
For the left, “equity” means rationing and redistributing resources based on perceived oppression, privilege, and social status — typically based on race or gender identity.
Becerra’s commitment to the ideology marks an important milestone for a movement that has been proliferating among medical schools and professionals.
As Breitbart News reported, the radical group “White Coats for Black Lives” has infiltrated American medical schools, forcing the “equity” ideology into many aspects of medical decision-making, ethics, and hiring practices.
This will give ‘triage’ a whole new meaning

Ah! Here’s a story. Poor dear.
Doctors fighting racial health disparities face threats, harassment
“It feels like when we make one step forward, the racists make five steps forward,” a New York doctor said.
Dr. Aletha Maybank joined the American Medical Association as its first chief health equity officer in 2019, determined to fight racial disparities in medicine.
That work grew more urgent in 2020 as the Covid-19 pandemic exposed deadly inequities in health care, and as George Floyd’s murder turned the country’s attention to the pervasiveness of systemic racism. The AMA issued a statement decrying racism as an urgent threat to public health, and Maybank focused on the organization’s efforts to “dismantle racist and discriminatory policies and practices across all of health care.” That included supporting training for medical workers on implicit bias, as well as advocating for solutions to problems that had not traditionally been a focus for the organization, such as housing inequities and police violence.
.
.
Doctors and academics working on anti-racist initiatives say they’re exhausted and on edge — particularly after an extremist group protested outside Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston in January. The demonstrators held a sign claiming the hospital “kills whites,” and passed out flyers with the names and faces of two doctors who designed a pilot program aimed at improving cardiology outcomes for Black and Latino patients.
After WGBH reported that the protesters were linked to a neo-Nazi group, [is there any other kind?]
.
.
Then, in September 2020, the Trump administration issued a directive to ban federal agencies from employing diversity training that discussed “white privilege” or critical race theory. The order kicked off a culture war,[don’t fight back or it’s war and it’s YOUR fault]

As eaglesoars noted above “Garbage in, Garbage out” as related to data schemas are ok but the data is bad.
When I was in government we released all these datasets to the public so they could use Tableau and Socrata to do their own analysis. Data would still get corrupted and on occasion an export to excel had to be done and all the data fields corrected. Then re updated to the public dataset.
You try and get it down to a science where you export through an API.
But still things change like the CDC re defining what fully vaccinated means. That in itself probably corrupted a lot of collected data.

https://twitter.com/TrentTelenko/status/1505370275273183239
Alright Lady’s & Gentlemen, boys and girls, it is time for another Truck logistics thread for this latest Russian Invasion of Ukraine.
In it we are going to discuss the concept of “Operational Attrition” as applied to the Russian Army truck fleet in combat.
In my now widely read thread on poorly maintained, cheap Chinese made, truck tires, I explained how Russia lost trucks & mobility by not maintaining tires.
This loss of vehicles without a shot being fired is referred to as “Operational Attrition.”
This is a thread that will explain the implied poor Russian Army truck maintenance practices based on this photo of a Pantsir-S1 wheeled gun-missile system’s right rear pair of tires below & the operational implications during the Ukrainian mud season.
For the sin of being the new guy, I was the DCMA quality auditor in charge of the US Army’s FMTV “vehicle exercise program” at the contractor manufacturing them from the Mid-1990’s to the mid-2000’s Then we got more new guys.
Short form: Military trucks need to be…
…turned over and moved once a month for preventative maintenance reasons.
In particular you want to exercise the central tire air inflation system (CTIS) to see if lines have leaks or had insect/vermin nests blocking the system.
CTIS Controller & CTIS diagram [go look at the pics]
One of the biggest reasons for the repositioning, per TACOM logistic Representatives, was that direct sunlight ages truck tires.
The repositioning of Trucks in close parking prevents a lot of this sun rotting and cycling the CTIS keeps the tire sidewalls supple.
When you leave military truck tires in one place for months on end. The side walls get rotted/brittle such that using low tire pressure setting for any appreciable distance will cause the tires to fail catastrophically via rips.
See early video:
Now look at the same Pantsir-S1 tire sidewalls after the Ukrainians tried to tow or drive it out of the mud.
The right rear tire fell apart because the rips in it were too big for the CTIS to keep aired up.
No one exercised that vehicle for 1 year
There is a huge operational level implication in this. If the Russian Army was too corrupt to exercise a Pantsir-S1. They were too corrupt to exercise the trucks & wheeled AFV’s now in Ukraine.
The Russians simply cannot risk them off road during the Rasputitsa/Mud season
And there is photographic evidence of this.
There are 60(+) Russian army trucks crowded & parked on this raised road bed to avoid the fate of the mud-bogged Pantsir-S1.
Given the demonstrated levels of corruption in truck maintenance. There is no way in h–l that there are enough tires in the Russian army logistical system.
So their wheeled AFV/truck park is as road bound as Russian Army columns were in the 1st Russo-Finnish War.
What that means is that as long as and where ever the Spring Rasputitsa is happening. The Russian Army attack front is three wheeled AFV’s wide.
When the Ukrainians can block the road with ATGM destroyed vehicles. They can move down either side of the road like Fins in 1939
10/
…destroying Russian truck columns.
The Crimea is a desert and the South Ukrainian coastal areas are dryer. So we are not seeing this there.
But elsewhere the Russians have a huge problem for the next 4-to-6 weeks.

She gives Trump his due here and props him up at times. The part that is like Eaglesoars is she does some hard research and asks some hard questions.
Her audience is probably suburban moms who had mask problems with school boards. I haven’t heard her yet day to not vote Democrat.
Currently she is my no 1 podcast listen. But I am pretty fickle. And a fair weather friend when it comes to podcasting. Timcast IRL got repetitive for me. I use to listen to every Rogan podcast but now only the ones with a good guest.
However the Jocko Willink podcast is always good. Probably because it is warlike.

One of the great memories of time with my parents is when they came to visit after my divorce and I had my own place in Virginia. It just so happened that the Air and Space Museum had an exhibit of the B-26 Marauder, the plane Dad flew. It was ‘sectioned’ so that you could see inside.
So we went. Dad was showing me all the details but there was something he couldn’t quite get an angle to look at. It was up in the air and he couldn’t get to it.
Well, I had volunteered as a guide there years before and I knew where to go. Found a docent. Explained the issue. He talked to Dad for a few minutes, left, and CAME BACK WITH A LADDER.
Dad climbed up, then I climbed up while he explained what I was seeing.

WASHINGTON — The Article III Project (A3P) released research demonstrating a deeply disturbing and dangerous pattern of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s leniency on sex offenders and child predators.
“It just keeps getting worse. It’s now clear why the Biden administration does not want this side of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s history to get out. Jackson’s record shielding child predators from the punishment and justice they deserve should trouble every sane person. Judge Jackson went to bat for those who prey on the most vulnerable members of society. Judge Jackson must explain herself at her upcoming hearing. If she fails to adequately justify her disturbing record, every senator who votes for her must be held accountable,” said Mike Davis, Founder and President of the Article III Project.
According to the A3P research, Ketanji Brown Jackson consistently said sentences and punishments for sex offenders generally were too harsh and stigmatizing. Specifically, when she worked on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, Jackson declared that mandatory minimums for sex offenders targeting children as “excessively severe and might be applied inconsistently.” Additionally, she believed reforms for these minimums will “bring these guidelines into the 21st century,” in spite of several reforms to the law already enacted during the 21st century. The full research document can be found here.

He told me about crawling through the wings of the B-36 to service the reciprocating engines, while in flight. He went to SEA in 1966 for 18 months, with a bunch of B-52s, supposedly with an IG team on an inspection tour. He never talked about what he was doing there, not even to my mom. He never told me either and I was a weapons loader. I still wonder what the hell they were up to.

Supposedly, they’ve made improvements in recent decades, but their issue now is cost. It doesn’t do a lot of good to create a really first-rate tank or fighter when you can only afford to build 3 of them a year. That’s why you only see things like the Su-57 at the Paris Air Show, and not flying combat missions anywhere.

Ice Cores Reveal Huge Volcanic Eruptions, Bigger Than Anything in The Last 2,500 Years
Scientists studying ice cores packing in some 60,000 years of history have found signs of thousands of volcanic eruptions across that time, stretching back to the last Ice Age – with 25 of the eruptions larger than anything Earth has seen in the last 2,500 years.
Researchers excavated the cores near both poles: in Antarctica (where 737 eruptions were logged) and Greenland (where 1,113 eruptions were found). A total of 85 eruptions were large enough to leave evidence behind at both poles.
That evidence takes the form of sulfuric acid deposits left behind by the eruptions. It gives researchers clues as to just how large and impactful particular volcanoes have been.

A Developer Altered Open Source Software to Wipe Files in Russia
The application, node.ipc, adds remote interprocess communication and neural networking capabilities to other open source code libraries. As a dependency, node.ipc is automatically downloaded and incorporated into other libraries, including ones like Vue.js CLI, which has more than 1 million weekly downloads.
Two weeks ago, the node.ipc author pushed a new version of the library that sabotaged computers in Russia and Belarus, the countries invading Ukraine and providing support for the invasion, respectively. The new release added a function that checked the IP address of developers who used the node.ipc in their own projects. When an IP address geolocated to either Russia or Belarus, the new version wiped files from the machine and replaced them with a heart emoji.

The future of a major liquified natural gas facility proposed for northeastern Pennsylvania was thrown into question Monday after its developer settled a legal challenge brought by environmental activists.
A subsidiary of New Fortress Energy Inc. agreed to pull the plug on its proposed LNG plant in Wyalusing — at least for now — in an agreement with a coalition of environmental groups that filed suit seeking to overturn the company’s air emissions permit.
The $800 million plant was intended to liquify million of gallons of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale gas field per day, with the liquified gas to be transported by rail or truck more than 175 miles (281 kilometers) to a proposed New Fortress export terminal in Gibbstown, New Jersey, along the Delaware River near Philadelphia. From there, the LNG would have been loaded onto ships for overseas delivery.

3,000 Canadian Pacific Rail Workers Strike As Fertilizer Shipments Grind To Halt
The North American agricultural sector could be in for a major shock if Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd’s (CP Rail) work stoppage is not resolved in a timely manner because it could spark a shortage of fertilizer and other shipments critical for the spring growing season, according to AP News.
AP News reports more than 3,000 CP Rail conductors, engineers, train, and yard workers represented by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference stepped off the job Sunday as the union and CP Rail couldn’t strike a deal.
CP Rail is the leading carrier of potash, a potassium-rich salt mined from underground deposits formed from evaporated sea beds millions of years ago, used to support crop development. In prior investor documents, the rail company said it hauls 70% of the potash produced in North America, all from mines in Canada. The railroad also carries fertilizers, including phosphate, urea, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, and anhydrous ammonia.

Insurers Say Germany’s Forced Vax Regime Plan ‘Impossible’ to Implement
Despite forced vaccination still being very much on the cards politically in Germany, a number of companies which would be forced to take responsibility for its enforcement have claimed that the current plans put in place by the government are utterly unworkable.
Under the proposed measures, insurance companies in the Federal Republic would be made responsible for enforcing the regime, and would be told to send letters to all of their customers checking whether or not they are vaccinated so fines could be sent to all of the unjabbed.
However, according to a report by Bild, the country’s proposed plans are “impossible” for the insurance industry to implement on multiple levels.

A Canadian Pacific Railway crew works the CP Rail yards in Calgary, Alberta, in 2014. (Todd Korol/Reuters)
Over the weekend, Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) began to shut down its operations because of a labor dispute. Headquartered in Calgary, CP is one of the largest freight railroads in North America, with over 12,000 miles of track.
Around 3,000 engineers, conductors, and yard workers stopped working on Sunday, according to FreightWaves. They’re represented by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC), and the union said the main points of disagreement were wages, benefits, working conditions, and pensions — in other words, just about everything.
Each side is blaming the other for the shutdown. The TCRC emphasized that this shutdown is a lockout, not a strike, because it was initiated by Canadian Pacific, not by the union. CP contradicted TCRC’s claim, saying that the union was the one that walked away from negotiations.
Whoever started it, the result is the same: Canadian Pacific’s normal rail operations will not be resuming until a deal is worked out. That has consequences for the United States.
Despite its name, CP has significant U.S. operations. In addition to its denser network in western Canada, CP serves North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania.
Sensitive to those connections, Senators Kevin Cramer (R., N.D.), Steve Daines (R., Mont.), Mike Braun (R., Ind.), and John Hoeven (R., N.D.) sent a letter to Justin Trudeau last week urging the Canadian prime minister to do everything possible to prevent the strike. The senators were careful to note two particular commodities that would suffer from a work stoppage: crude oil and fertilizer.
Because of the Keystone XL pipeline cancellation, Canada and the US rely on CP to carry heavy Alberta crude oil to US refineries. Without the ability to move heavy Canadian crude, fuel supply shortages will be exacerbated and agricultural producers who rely on diesel to power their equipment will be forced to pay even higher fuel costs.
Up to fifteen percent of CP’s business is fertilizer shipping, and the US relies on Canada to help provide our producers with essential inputs like potash and nitrogen fertilizers. At a time when agricultural input costs are already skyrocketing, major agriculture producing nations are at war, and global food prices are at an all-time high, all steps necessary must be taken to ensure producers have access to the inputs they need.
Crude oil and fertilizer are also two of the products most affected by the war between Russia and Ukraine, which are the “major agriculture producing nations” the senators were referencing in the letter. Oil has been at the center of media attention, but as Andrew Stuttaford has written about before, fertilizer shortages could end up being much more damaging. Food is truly a universal input.

Belarus investigating sabotage of railway by organized group
The General Prosecutor of Belarus opened a criminal case into what it called an act of terrorism carried out by an organized group against infrastructure of the Belarusian Railway, according to TASS.
The general prosecutor added that signaling facilities and other transport equipment were rendered “unusable.”
The BYPOL group, which consists of former security officers who support the opposition in Belarus, said on Tuesday that a series of sabotage actions had targeted the railway system in Belarus, disrupting the movement of military trains in the country.
“Belarusians, today our country is drawn into a criminal and bloody war with the fraternal Ukrainian people on the side of the aggressor – the Russian Federation,” wrote BYPOL in a Telegram message. “It is our duty and in our power to do real things to stop it, free ourselves from the occupation of Russian troops and restore the good name of our ancestors. ‘Rail war’ is the knowledge that we inherited, this is what we can do and what each of us can do.”

No. There is no cure for that area of the globe.
The beta-hCG- TT vaccine evoked the production of anti-hCG antibodies in 61 of 63 women tested. …. Immunization with GnRH resulted in decreased testicular size, drop of testosterone levels, and marked atrophy of the prostate.
Anti-GnRH vaccine would be tried in patients of carcinoma of the prostate. LDH-C4, a sperm-specific mitochondrial antigen, produced an antibody response in baboons and reduced fertility in the females. Animal fertility control vaccines will be shortly on the market, but the use of recombinant DNA techniques should also accelerate the development of others.

@ eaglesoars:
The USA is by far the most tolerant country I have been in. Everywhere else I have traveled there is a level of tolerance.
The new progressive intolerance thing in the USA though might tilt that scale back.
I’m off to bed. But before I go got an email from Emerald Robinson substack.

The DOJ Is Hiring Tort Lawyers To Defend HHS From Vaccine Injury Cases
The new vaccines: so safe that the Biden regime needs to settle lots of injury cases now!
The Biden regime’s DOJ apparently needs to hire at least four new tort lawyers to help with vaccine injury cases against HHS — according to a new job posting on the federal government’s official hiring site USAJOBS.
Trial attorneys in Office of Constitutional and Specialized Tort Litigation – Vaccine Litigation Staff – represent the interests of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services in all cases filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (“Vaccine Act”). The cases involve claims of injury as a result of the receipt of vaccines covered by the Act. The position offers a unique experience in public service and involves trial practice. The legal and medical issues at stake in each case vary. Trial attorneys independently manage heavy caseloads, and while streamlined procedures are utilized, many cases involve complex scientific issues of causation that require employment of experts in medical fields such as pediatrics, neurology, immunology and epidemiology. In cases in which petitioners are found entitled to compensation, the litigation often requires retention and management of experts to develop an appropriate life care plan for the injured party — to include medical treatment, remedial care, rehabilitation, calculation of lost earnings, actuarial projections and structured settlements.

Employees forced to strike get screwed, more stores close up in poor neighborhoods, more inflation.

@ Bunk Five Hawks X:
Well, isn’t that fascinating. WE just “ratified” our contract two weeks ago and got something similar for long term employees. All other employees got bupkis.
Now the curious part. Three stores in our meeting voted 75-80% against the contract. Somehow the next day it was ratified by the rest of the locals. We haven’t received a breakdown of voting results.
@ PaladinPhil:
Oh, forgot to mention. Our union is also UFCW. The union loved by all corporate management.
@ PaladinPhil:
I don’t know what the strike pay percentage is, but it will take a long while to make up for the lost wages.
