[FoxBusinessNews] A Blue Origin astronaut who flew on a Blue Origin rocket with William Shatner has died in a New Jersey plane crash.
Glenn M. de Vries, 49, and Thomas P. Fischer, 54, died when a single-engine Cessna 172 crashed on Thursday in Hampton Township.
"We are devastated to hear of the sudden passing of Glen de Vries. He brought so much life and energy to the entire Blue Origin team and to his fellow crewmates. His passion for aviation, his charitable work, and his dedication to his craft will long be revered and admired," Blue Origin tweeted on Thursday.
De Vries was part of the crew that flew on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket on Oct. 13 with William Shatner.

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] In an interview with Prostasia's Noah Berlatsky, Old Dominion professor Allyn Walker justified feelings of pedophilia and the people who have them. Walker wants to destigmatize feelings of pedophilia, digs into the idea that pedophilia is simply a sexual orientation that a person should not act upon, and claims that trying to get pedophiles to not be pedophiles would be akin to "conversion therapy," which they say is "not at all effective." "they say"
Walker claims that there's a difference between sexual offenders and pedophiles, or as she terms them, "minor attracted persons." So-called MAPs, Walker said, can be attracted to minors regardless of whether or not they have gone through puberty. Their attraction to minors, Walker claims, is not immoral if they haven't acted on it.
Walker, who uses they/them pronouns, was speaking about the research in their new book, A Long Dark Shadow: Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity, a book justifying the feelings of pedophiles. Walker is an assistant professor in the sociology and criminal justice department at Old Dominion University.
Courtesy of Besoeker, PJ Media has a reaction to this news:
Communist goal #26: Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy."
The left is trying to normalize the idea of adult sex with children, and what better way to make pedophiles seem normal than to give them a nice name. Leftists are now referring to pedos as "MAPs" which is short for "minor-attracted persons." Don’t be fooled: a pedophile is a pedophile, no matter what the pinkos choose to call them.
That said, I can already see "LGBTM" on the not-too-distant horizon.

There is a grave and growing sickness afoot in the land. It seems as though everywhere I turn I hear about young people with serious mental issues. It’s happening to my child, who’s run away and is starting the process of transitioning from a girl to a boy. Thousands of families across the country are dealing with the same thing. It’s a statistical explosion. And all the dominant groups in our society (government, media, corporations, education, etc. ) just clap and say isn’t this wonderful. Awful.

Great Short term win.
But I am sure the Biden Junta is already shopping for another Federal Judge/Court and/or looking at a new mandate angle.
BUT GIVEN WE FACTUALLY KNOW:
The C-19 shot wears off in a few months. Then booster after booster shot is required for "some" degree of claimed protection.
That areas/Cities with 90%+ VAX rates still have HIGH infection rates.
The C-19 VAX has a 1600% HIGHER Serious Adverse Reaction rate that ANY commonly given inoculation over the last 60 years.
Despite being claimed safe by the Biden Junta, Pfizer still have Immunity from civil lawsuits regarding the C-19 VAX.
Question:
So what is in this VAX that is so damn important for them to want to FORCE it into us?
Or, is it just the Power to control and $$$,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$ it generated for the Democrats?
[FoxNews] A top general for the Marine Corps says the force is working to reinvent itself in an attempt "to reflect America" and the current values embraced by society today.
The remarks on an overhaul to address diversity and troop retainment in the Marine Corps were made by Gen. David Berger, commandant of the Marine Corps, in an interview with NPR's Morning Edition.
According to Berger, Marines will work "to reflect America, to reflect the society we come from," adding that the decision is not one related to being "woke" or politically correct.
Uh huh. I can feel your sarcastic response, dear Reader, though the precise words aren’t coming through.
"Our advantage militarily is on top of our shoulders," Berger said. "It's not actually our equipment. We are better than anybody else, primarily because we don't all think exactly alike. We didn't come from the same backgrounds."
Something the colour of one’s skin doesn’t have anything to do with pain, mud, killing people and breaking things — am I getting that right? No Marine left behind, too?
In his new plan, dubbed Talent Management 2030, Berger outlines how the force will work to improve recruitment efforts and increase career flexibility.
"The most important element of this report is the individual Marine," Berger stated in the document. "Transitioning to a talent management system will enable us to better harness and develop the unique skills and strengths of our Marines, improve the performance of our units in competition and combat, and ensure that we remain ‘most ready when the Nation is least ready,’ today and into the future."
The new plan will also work to ensure that the corps, as a whole, is "more intelligent, physically fit, cognitively mature, and experienced."
"The capabilities that we think we're going to need are a force that's able to operate much more distributed, much more spread out than perhaps we're accustomed to in the past, using a different set of technologies than we had five or 10 or 15 years ago," he said.
Physical fitness is also a focus in the plan, noting that boot camp will work to implement the "the same challenge for officers and for Officer Candidate School." Berger also noted that the change would take time and will not happen overnight.
"We are a purely combat force," he said. "We were built under a different set of circumstances, but that is changing."
An estimated 75% of troops leave the Marine Corps following their first four-year term.
Cut the political nonsense by 50%, and you’ll easily double retention...

The marines are known for tearing you down and rebuilding you as a Marine. If that doesn't change then throw all the soyboys into the Marines as they can handle. If they are gonna change their training, well that would be sad.

Platoon 1006. MCRD San Diego, Jan 1969 - I watched the first two weaklings melt by the end of day 1 and sit, blubbering, on the radiator of the receiving barracks. Several weeks later another folded up his blanket, went to the head and tried to cut his wrists with a bayonet. He was invalided out and SSG McBroom spent an hour the following afternoon on the correct procedure for bayonet sharpening and wrist slitting for max effect. Priceless...Semper Fi Old Corps!
The undated video begins as an officer is attempting to detain a man on a MacDougal Street sidewalk near Greenwich Village
The detainee appears to attempt to get up when the officer, aided by a second arriving as the man gets up, pushes him back down to the ground
Once they have him under control, the officer is seen throwing a half dozen punches at the victim's midsection
As the officers get up to give the man space, he appears motionless and multiple people can be heard saying he's been 'knocked out'
Spokespersons for the NYPD, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Mayor-elect Eric Adams did not respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment on the incident
The incident comes as homelessness in the city has reached its highest levels since the Great Depression. Overcrowded homeless shelters have led to encampments sprouting up in nearby Tompkins Square Park, as well as under bridges spanning the East River.
The number of single adults sleeping in municipal shelters spiked by 103 percent in the past decade - from 25,000 to 50,000 - and has continued to soar since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the New York Coalition for the Homeless.
There were 47,979 homeless people - including 14,881 homeless children - sleeping each night in the NYC municipal shelter system in August 2021, according to the agency. In the same month, there were 18,357 single adults in shelters.
The coalition added that thousands of homeless people sleep throughout the streets, subways and other public spaces but there is 'no accurate measure' of such data and city surveys 'significantly underestimate the number of unsheltered homeless New Yorkers'.

I recommend outdoor fenced areas with latrines and shelter-halves for those sleeping on the street. Only personal clothing allowed. The same for our southern border with one exit into Mexico.

[Reuters] There is a greater risk of an accidental war breaking out between the West and Russia than at any time since the Cold War, with many of the traditional diplomatic tools no longer available, Britain's most senior military officer said.
General Nick Carter, chief of the defence staff, told Times Radio there was a greater risk of tensions in the new era of a "multipolar world", where governments compete for different objectives and different agendas.
"I think we have to be careful that people don't end up allowing the bellicose nature of some of our politics to end up in a position where escalation leads to miscalculation," he said in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday.
Tensions have been mounting in eastern Europe in recent weeks after the European Union accused Belarus of flying in thousands of migrants to engineer a humanitarian crisis on its border with EU-member state Poland, a dispute that threatens to draw in Russia and NATO.

[KavkazUzel] A participant in the land conflict killed the imam of the mosque and wounded two people in the village of Ameterkmakhi.
According to local authorities, the attacker was also killed, TASS reported today.
A resident of the village of Ameterkmakhi opened fire from a machine gun, the cause was a land dispute.

According to the source, several firearms were seized at the site of the shooting, including a Kalashnikov assault rifle. All weapons are unregistered, indicated in the publication.

One of the wounded rushed at the attacker and stabbed him in the neck, killing him on the spot. The victims were hospitalized, they are operated on in a local hospital, Telegram-channel "112" reported.
According to the Telegram channel Mash, the imam was killed right in the mosque. A resident of a Dagestan village arrived with a machine gun, a grenade launcher and a pistol, Baza reported on the Telegram channel.
All participants in the conflict are local residents, said the head of the local administration Tagir Tagirov. "They know each other. I can't say anything about the reasons - maybe the land issue, but there were no conflicts before. Now there are all services, Rosgvardia. They cordoned off the houses, everyone is working," Tagirov was quoted as saying on the Pozym Telegram channel.
The police were not involved in the case, the investigation was immediately taken up by the Investigative Committee, a source in the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted.
"There is a murder. Nobody was hiding, the criminal investigation department was not involved in the search and detention of suspects. Therefore, the Investigative Committee immediately connected," the source said in the publication.
"Caucasian Knot" has no confirmation of the information provided by Telegram channels. On the website of the Dagestan Directorate of the Investigative Committee, as of 17.00 Moscow time on November 12, there is no information about the incident in Ameterkmakhi.

[NewFrontInfo] Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov announced Ukraine's plans to additionally purchase Turkish Bayraktar drones in 2022.
Reznikov noted that "the Turkish partners have publicly announced" that they are taking Ukrainian engines for the Bayraktar equipment.
According to him, despite the fact that the drones will be manufactured in Turkey, they will still be Ukrainian, "in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine stressed that the devices "will be used", since Ukraine must defend its independence.
Note that Belarus and Russia concluded a basing and military exercise agreement some weeks ago.
[REGNUM] Two contract servicemen of the Airborne Forces were killed during a parachute landing in Belarus due to a sudden gust of wind, the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Russian Defense Ministry reported on November 12.
Recall that the tragedy occurred on November 12 during a parachute landing on an unfamiliar site near the city of Grodno.
"According to a report from the scene, as a result of a sudden strong gust of wind near the ground, the parachutes of two contract servicemen, who had high qualifications of parachute training instructors, descended. The domes of both parachutists went out. One of the servicemen made an attempt to stop the uncontrolled fall of both, using his reserve parachute, " stated in the message of the Russian military department.
The reserve parachutes did not have time to deploy due to insufficient altitude.
"Both servicemen were injured and were promptly taken to a local medical facility, where they received all the necessary assistance. Despite the efforts of the doctors, both contractual Russian servicemen died from their injuries," the Russian Ministry of Defense reports.
[Market Watch] High inflation is eating up the budgets of American households.
The cost of groceries have jumped 5.4% in the past year, marking one of the biggest increases in the past two decades, according to the consumer price index. By contrast, grocery prices did not increase at all in the five years before the pandemic.
Meat, chicken, dairy, eggs, sugar and coffee are among the products that have seen especially large price gains in the past year, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows.
The rising cost of food has contributed to the biggest surge in U.S. inflation in almost 31 years. The cost of living has soared 6.2% in the 12 months ended in October, new government figures show.

Ach, du lieber Augustine, everything's up

Government policy makers forget that in a market economy, there's always a choice and a substitute for a product which has shot up in price. They don't all rise at the same time and at the same rate.
That is a mechanism that keeps prices down for some products, while letting prices rise for others.
Other than meat, basic foodstuffs have not risen very much despite the best efforts of near moronic government policy makers.
#3
Also, where and how you buy matters. I go to a local produce stand rather than the produce section of the grocery store. The product is fresher and cheaper. Likewise, if you do your clothes and shoe shopping at an outlet mall, you will pay less than at a big box store. Not always, but often enough to matter.

The cause of all this us not government inaction but incredibly foolish government stimulus. These shitheads mailed checks totaling over a trillion to nearly the entire population -- all the way up to the 90th income percentile.
All this money sloshing around, with a simultaneous DECLINE in productive capacity because of their retarded lockdowns, had a totally predictable effect: massive across the board inflation.
Larry Summers and most other normal sensible economists pointed this out a long time ago: "Too much water in the tub."
Such an obvious, predictable consequence of stupid Biden policies.

I agree prices are up everywhere.
But where you shop has A LOT to do with prices.
It obvious some places are taking it as a opportunity to abuse the situation and charge more.
Example I have seen:
Wally World in North Augusta SC and Aldi's / Lindls get their private label Milks come from the Same supplier. Wall World $2.89 to $3.24 a gallon
(other sources) $1.59 to 1.98 a gallon.
Eggs
WW $1.48 (other sources) $0.52 to $0.98
Bacon, we quit looking at it when it hit $5.00 p/lb and super market started playing with the package weights. We bought a Harbor Freight meat slicer ($25.00, purchase $2.48p/lb Pork Loin started making something close to bacon, with about 50+% less fat.
Spiral Hams and etc.. all cheaper at (other sources) than Wally World.
Purchase a 15.62 lb Frozen Butter Ball Turkey for $0.98 a pound.
Heck even KROGER is beating the pants off Wally World lately.
Food Loin Supermarkets went super rip off and Dumb $hit and started charging $4.99 for a pack of common coffee machine filters, while everyone else is $1.290 to $1.99.

[NewsFrontInfo] Estonian Defense Minister Kalle Laanet said that in order to prepare "for a possible hybrid attack," the Estonian troops could stretch 130 kilometers of barrage wire along the border with Russia.
According to Laanet, Belarus continues to aggravate the migration crisis on the border with Poland and Lithuania, so measures must be taken to protect the borders.
Recall that the migration crisis on the border of Belarus and the EU countries began in the summer of 2021 after Lukashenka announced that he would weaken control over the flows of illegal migrants amid another aggravation of relations with Western countries. Recently, the situation on the border with Belarus has worsened.

[REGNUM] Farmers from the Albanian municipality of Lushnja held a protest on November 12, during which they clashed with the police.
As reported by the Albanian news agency Politiko. al, farmers sat on the highway in the middle of the intersection, blocking traffic to the south of the country.
The protesters demand direct payments to individual production units in the amount of 10 leks per kilogram of production and argue that such payments will stimulate production, and not simply serve as an instrument of social support, they will formalize payments and reduce corruption and bureaucratic costs of state support for producers.
Another farmers' demand is to abolish the value added tax on chemical fertilizers.
[Breitbart] Black Americans who spent most of their lives working on Mississippi farms are suing their former employer after they were replaced by foreign workers on the H-2A visa program.
The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, accuses Pitts Farms of laying off a number of black Americans, only to replace them with foreign visa workers from South Africa.
The H-2A visa program allows U.S. farms to annually outsource an unlimited number of American jobs to foreign workers who can extend their stay for up to three years. The foreign families of H-2A visa workers can also come to the U.S. on H-4 visas.
In 1997, a little more than 16,000 foreign visa workers were imported to take American jobs on U.S. farms. By 2020, that number has ballooned to a record 213,400 foreign visa workers — an increase in the H-2A visa program of more than 1,200 percent in less than 25 years.
Data shows U.S. farms use the H-2A visa program to import cheaper, foreign visa workers.
#7
I agree with them here, as this is something which happens in the local packing facilities. About every ten years a new, lower paid ethnic group sets up in town.
But they shouldn't be suing Pitts Farms, they should be suing the policy makers, US Chamber of Commerce, NLRB.

[Breitbart] Five retired Navy SEALs are running for Congress in 2022 to save the America they swore an oath to protect and defend.
They are Republicans Ryan Zinke for Montana’s 2nd District, Derrick Van Orden for Wisconsin’s 3rd District, Eli Crane for Arizona’s 1st District, Morgan Luttrell for Texas’s 8th District, and Brady Duke for Florida’s 7th District.
"It’s exciting because what you have is you have two fire teams of warriors that don’t flinch in the fight for freedom," said Ryan Zinke, who was the first SEAL to become a cabinet secretary and congressman in Montana’s on the lam district.
"These guys, you’re not going to be able to intimidate them. You’re not going to be able to harass them. They’ll do the right thing for America and they’ll put America first," he said.
The five veterans spoke to Breitbart News about what SEAL veterans can uniquely bring to Congress.
[UPI] A new blood test may be more than 80% accurate at identifying people at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease, a study presented Thursday during the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease conference in Boston found.
The test, called PrecivityAD and manufactured by St.Louis-based diagnostic company C2N, identifies those with elevated levels of the protein amyloid in the brain, the researchers said.
In people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, this protein accumulates in clusters in the brain called plaques, disrupting cognitive function.
These plaques, which form before the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appear, typically are identified through positron emission tomography, or PET, imaging scans of the brain.

It’s in clinical trials, Cooky, so it’s free to half of the participants. The problem is you won’t know until afterward whether you were in the group that got something for nothing or the group that got nothing for nothing.
80% accuracy means they get the wrong answer 1/5th of the time — I wouldn’t be comfortable with that.
