Every month or so, while conversing with sources at Fox News, I express surprise that Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes are still employed by the network. After all, the two men are reality-based conservative thinkers who refuse to capitulate to Donald Trump. Unfortunately, Fox viewers rarely get to hear from them. They are booked by the network's producers so rarely that their contracts could be likened to golden handcuffs.
Now they are ditching the cuffs. "reality-based conservative thinkers" *SNORT*. How will Bret Baier get along without Weakly Standard's Hayes and Jonah "The Bulwark" Goldberg??
Hayes and Goldberg announced Sunday night that they have resigned from Fox. The pair wrote in a blog post for The Dispatch, their online home, that Tucker Carlson's "Patriot Purge" propaganda film was the last straw.
"Fox News still does real reporting, and there are still responsible conservatives providing valuable opinion and analysis," the men wrote. "But the voices of the responsible are being drowned out by the irresponsible," and Carlson is the case in point.
CNN and other news outlets have described how "Patriot Purge" is disturbing evidence of right-wing radicalization, complete with January 6 denialism and paranoid descriptions of a "new war on terror" targeting Republicans, with references to Guantanamo Bay and images of waterboarding.
"This is not happening. And we think it's dangerous to pretend it is," the Goldberg and Hayes wrote. "If a person with such a platform shares such misinformation loud enough and long enough, there are Americans who will believe — and act upon — it."
[DW] Haitian officials had said the gang had asked for $1 million each for the group of 17, which included five children. The gang had threatened to kill the North Americans.
Two of the 17 US and Canadian missionaries taken hostage last month in Haiti have been set free, the country's national police confirmed on Sunday.
Haitian officials said a gang that snatched them after a visit to an orphanage had demanded a $1 million (€885, 815) ransom per person in return for their release.
The freed hostages "are safe, in good spirits and being cared for" said the Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries group which arranged the trip.
WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR?
The 400 Mawozo gang, as they are known, kidnapped one Canadian US and 16 missionaries on October 16, bringing the matter to the attention of the US authorities.
The armed bandidos surpised the group, which included an 8-month-old baby, in the neighborhood of Croix-des-Bouquets they dominate, 8 miles (13 kilometers) outside the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.
A Haitian man who identified himself as the leader of the gang said in a Youtube video posted last month that he would kill "these Americans" if the ransoms were not paid.
The kidnappers have also demanded the release from prison of one of their leaders, according to the Center for Analysis and Research in Human Rights.
"We cannot provide or confirm the names of those released, the reasons for their release, where they are from, or their current location," Christian Aid Ministries said.
"While we rejoice at this release, our hearts are with the fifteen people who are still being held," it added.
WHAT HAVE AUTHORITIES DONE SO FAR?
US officials have led efforts to bring the North Americans to safety, and in November said they had evidence the missionaries were still alive.
Since the October 16 attack, US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant. Just look at the competent way he dumped Afghanistan... has received regular briefings of any progress made by law enforcement.
FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... agents were sent to Haiti to investigate the incident.
The 400 Mawozo gang went from being small-time thieves to become one of Haiti's most dangerous criminal groups.
In April, five priests and two nuns, including French citizens, were kidnapped in the same Croix-des-Bouquets neighborhood. They were released later that month.
The Center for Analysis and Research in Human Rights, which follows Haitian hostage scenarios, reported there have been over 800 kidnappings until October this year, with an increase of 300% since July.
It follows major political upheaval after the liquidation of the country's president Jovenel Moise. The country also suffered an earthquake which left over 2,000 dead last summer.

[Rusvsna] A resident of Solnechnogorsk, due to a drunken quarrel with his mistress, allegedly killed his mother, and then staged a shootout with officers of the Russian Guard, as a result of which he was mortally wounded. This was reported by the press service of the Investigative Committee for the Moscow Region.
According to the investigation, on November 21, at night, in a private house in Solnechnogorsk, during a joint drinking of alcohol, a quarrel occurred between the suspect and his partner. After that, the 53-year-old man went to his mother's house, where, presumably, he committed her murder and set fire to the household.
"Having found a gun, he went back to the house of his partner, where he began to fire multiple shots at the doors and into the building, demanding that the woman come out to him. The woman and the relatives who were in her house were able to hide from the shots and call the police and the National Guard officers to the scene," the message says.
"A man who arrived on a call along with the Rosgvardia State Administration for the Moscow Region resisted and began to fire shots towards the employees.
Then he tried to escape, while continuing to fire shots towards the employees. As a result, return fire was opened at the man, during which he was mortally wounded," the department noted.

[News & Advance] Hat tip to Mrs. Bobby's Dallas Morning News
ZRENJANIN, Serbia — They are shivering in barracks without heat, going hungry and have no money. They say their passports have been taken by their Chinese employer and that they are now stuck in a grim plainland in Serbia with no help from local authorities.
These are the Vietnamese workers who are helping build the first Chinese car tire factory in Europe. The Associated Press visited the construction site in northern Serbia where some 500 of the workers are living in harsh conditions as China’s Shandong Linglong Tire Co. sets up the huge facility.
The project, which Serbian and Chinese officials tout as a display of the "strategic partnership" between the two countries, has already faced scrutiny from environmentalists over potentially dangerous pollution from tire production. "strategic partnership" - I seen dis movie, but Vietnam was not part of the partnership!.
Now, it has caught the attention of human rights groups in Serbia, which have warned that the workers could be victims of human trafficking or even slavery.
"We are witnessing a breach of human rights because the Vietnamese (workers) are working in terrible conditions," Serbian activist Miso Zivanov of the Zrenjaninska Akcija (Zrenjanin Action) nongovernmental organization told The Associated Press at the drab one-story warehouses where the workers are living.
"Their passports and identification documents have been taken by their Chinese employers," he said. "They have been here since May, and they received only one salary. They are trying to get back to Vietnam but first need to get back their documents."
Workers sleep on bunk beds without mattresses in barracks with no heating or warm water. They told the AP that they have received no medical care even when they developed COVID-19-like symptoms, being told by their managers simply to remain in their rooms. "Suck it up, hoa mao lương vàng!"

I am surprised they got Vietnamese workers. Vietnamese have a healthy dislike for the Chinese.
[American Military News] A California-based arms manufacturer will open a $9.5 million facility in Greenville and hire 55 people.
S.W.O.R.D. International primarily makes small arms for the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies and was started by Jeremy Elrod, a former Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The company is incorporated in California, and will continue to do the majority of its research and development in its facility in Sparks, Nevada. Key employees will remain there as well.
Greenville will handle some research and development, all sales and customer support, distribution and production.
On the company’s website, Elrod said he started the company in 2010 because, "I was shocked to see the lack of reliability, durability and functionality of our primary small arms system. Loose tolerances, poor materials and antiquated manufacturing techniques made for a sub standard weapon system."
The 44,000-square-foot facility on Beverly Road will be upfitted by January, the Greenville Area Development Corporation announced in a news release Monday.
S.W.O.R.D. Vice President Jason Hamilton was quoted as saying the company considered several locations but selected Greenville County because "the community and culture of Greenville made our decision easy."
Gov. Henry McMaster said in the news release the decision by S.W.O.R.D. International Inc. to locate its new facility in South Carolina is "another sign that our state’s business-friendly climate, skilled workforce and exceptional market access are working to attract investments that create new jobs."
The company’s acronym stands for Special Warfare Operations Research and Development.

The French overseas territory of Guadeloupe was hit by a third night of looting and rioting amid protests against #COVID19 measures, with gunmen shooting at police and firefighters, the authorities say.https://t.co/jGl5RZpUT2
The authors write (translated into English) — “The correlation is + .31, is amazingly high and especially in an unexpected direction. Actually, it should be negative, so that one could say: The higher the vaccination rate, the lower the excess mortality. However, the opposite is the case and this urgently needs to be clarified. Excess mortality can be observed in all 16 countries.”

Re #1 - Oh, Its working.... All Persons who took the vaccine are being euthanized; the majority of the country's population are white. The white population is systematically being sterilized, immune systems completely compromised, long term survival eliminated, minorities to become the majority.
Billions of people are going to die from the "cure vaccines"
7 years of tribulation has been initiated; the end is nearing.

So let me get this straight — They’re trying to convince the Unvaccinated that the jabs work, while trying to convince the Vaccinated that they don’t work, so they’ll all go out and get their boosters.

They are more worried about who has a dick or not, no wonder they are baffled.

Not unusual for exterior paneling to jettison itself, i.e. shuttle thermal tiles. Alternatively launch devices occasionally release a 'backpack' payload.
Don't worry, I'm sure the defense industries will come up with a solution that costs enough to provide a border wall 100 feet tall, but instead of a one time expense it'll be every year.
[AlexBerensonSubstack] People appear to die at rates 20 percent or more above normal for weeks after receiving their second Covid vaccine dose, according to data from a huge Swedish study.
The figures are buried in a preprint paper on vaccine effectiveness released last month. The headline finding of the paper was that protection against Covid, including severe cases, plunged after six months.
The researchers did not explicitly examine deaths from all causes - which have risen since the summer in many countries that have highly vaccinated populations.
But on page 32 of the 34-page report, a chart shows that 3,939 of 4.03 million Swedes who received the second dose died less than two weeks later.

In the US we don’t count these as vaccine deaths, because you're not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second jab
