[WesternJournal] After a self-identified “white supremacist” allegedly shot up a New York grocery store, many news outlets and left-leaning Twitter users went wild trying to pin the crime on Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Greg Gutfeld and other people on the right. But now it has been revealed that the suspect openly hated all the conservatives the media wants to blame as a motivation for the crime.
On Saturday, a man police have identified as Payton Gendron, 18, of Conklin, New York, allegedly committed the murder of ten people and the wounding of three others inside a Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly black neighborhood of Buffalo, New York.
Witness said the man entered the store wearing military-styled gear and opened fire with a rifle while yelling racial epithets in an act police called “racially motivated violent extremism,” the Associated Press reported.
The shooter also carried a helmet cam on his head and reportedly began streaming the shooting live on the streaming platform Twitch for several minutes before the site shut down the live feed.
Authorities did not speculate on the motive for the crime, but leftists in the media and on Twitter immediately blamed conservative TV personalities.

Rolling Stone calls him a main-stream Republican which is contrary to what he wrote in his "Manifesto". Obviously the writer didn't read it. They want it to be true so bad they will lie to make it so.

They assume most Americans won’t read anything. In my experience that is a good assumption. He could not be a Republican because he did not express hatred for Mitch McConnell.

[USSA News] As usual I must begin with this disclaimer lest the corrupt FDA send their dragoons to my front door. I’m not a doctor, I have no medical training. This column is for educational purposes and not meant to be medical advice. My right to free speech.
I doubt anyone in the U.S. isn’t aware of the horrific problem regarding the availability of baby formula. Desperate mothers across the country driving an hour or more to find at least a few cans or none. (South Carolina mother of six-month-old baby girl describes desperate plight of parents crying in Walmart after being faced with empty shelves while hunting for baby formula: ’My heart broke into 100 pieces’) Paying exorbitant prices on line. There’s been the usual ignorance on the part of buffoons and dullards on the Internet— both male & female telling mothers to just breastfeed their baby.
There are legitimate reasons why some women cannot breast feed their baby. Other women who are forced to work because two paychecks are needed just to make ends meet use baby formula. That blathering is just more distraction. Stay focused on why here in these united States of America this is even happening.
I spend a lot of time researching on the Internet (and books) and when I saw the headlines start popping up about this, I thought why? I half expected to see it is because of the Russia/Ukraine disaster. But, it appears baby formula manufacturers is pretty much controlled — just like the parasites who call themselves "mainstream media" by a small number of manufacturers: Top 10 infant formula manufacturers in the world
"The baby formula shortage became an issue for new parents back in November 2021, but this shortage is getting worse, not better. According to USA Today, "Nearly 40% of popular baby formula brands were sold out at retailers across the U.S. during the week starting April 24, according to an analysis by Datasembly, which assessed supplies at more than 11,000 stores."

#1 It is, uh, interesting that the Abbott facility remains closed in light of their own internal investigation and that of the FDA and CDC. They did find a strain of the bacteria in question at the facility but not in the production area.
Further, the strain of bacteria did not match that found in either of the dead infants, and in fact the infants themselves had different strains as well. Thus making for 3 demonstrably separate. Yet the facility remains closed and the White House is spreading grossly inaccurate information about the rationale.
Just in time for Billy Gates. Looks as though he should be selling into, how shall we say, a positive curve.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Senator Rand Paul's blocking of $40 billion in military aid to Ukraine is, of course, a temporary phenomenon, but at the same time it is remarkable. In the motivational part, Senator Paul pointed out in plain text that the huge money allocated to Ukraine could simply be stolen, and demanded at least minimal control over their spending. Which is what caused the delay.
Naturally, the question arises - why does Senator Paul say that money can be stolen in the "democratic" USA or in the "democratic" Ukraine? Senator Paul answers it himself, pointing to the experience of Afghanistan, where the United States, according to Brown University estimates, pumped $2.31 trillion over 20 years (from the fall of 2001 to the summer of 2021). The result of the war is known - the Taliban (banned in the Russian Federation) won, and after 20 years they again control the whole of Afghanistan.
At the same time, even before the US fled from Kabul, even the American media openly wrote that a significant part of American aid to the Ghani government was dissolved in an unknown place, mostly nodding that it was plundered by the functionaries of the Afghan puppet regime and local warlords. However, there were also questions about the American public and private defense contractors who actively mastered this money.
But this story was far from unique. The United States has spent, according to various estimates, tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars trying to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Here, too, as you know, they failed (Russia and Iran tried). Already during the war, in the American media, the unflattering facts of embezzlement of American funds allocated for the “Syrian democratic revolution” began to surface. In particular, it was revealed that no one knows where the more than $350 million allocated by the CIA for the training of Syrian Free Army militants in training camps in Turkey has gone.
In fact, the money was spent, and the militants were not actually trained.
Something to be grateful for. However expensive the non-performance, surely succeeding in that effort would have been more so...
In fact, they simply stole it, attributing it to military operations in Syria. Also, the late head of the White Helmets, Le Mesurier, who threw himself out of a window in Istanbul, was accused of stealing money “for democracy”. According to a number of versions, together with Le Mesurier, the tails of the special services involved in financing the activities of the White Helmets were cleared, with the help of which they not only fabricated various fakes about “Assad’s chemical weapons”, but also mastered “democratic financing” through the special services, since there was practically no control over the spending of funds entering Syria.
In addition, one can also recall the accusations of the occupation administration of Paul Bremer, which oversaw the "reconstruction of Iraq" and received tons of cash from the United States, some of which disappeared in an unknown direction. According to an investigation by the US Congressional Commission, of the $60 billion in cash delivered to Iraq, $12 billion completely disappeared without any documents. Most of the remaining money was spent on ordinary handwritten receipts that left serious doubts about their authenticity and did not give any understanding at all whether imported cash was spent. Similarly, the British Parliament eventually found out that of the £16bn allocated to Iraq by Britain, £8bn was missing.
In general, for those who tend to remember previous US wars, it is quite obvious that the probability that a significant part of the allocated funds will again be dissolved in an unknown direction is close to 100%. Senator Rand Paul is clearly of the same opinion, which is why he demands increased oversight of spending, but it seems that under the conditions of Ukraine this oversight will not help anyway.
Commentary by Russian news source Zvezda News
The idea of the operation to capture Serpentine came to the Ukrainian authorities from London. The goal was to overshadow the celebration of Victory Day in Russia, the DPR and the LPR;
The assault on the island began on the evening of May 7 after a lengthy reconnaissance of Serpentine from Ukrainian UAVs;
With the onset of darkness, three Ukrainian Su-24 bombers with a covering Ukrainian Air Force Su-27 fighter, flying up to the island at extremely low altitudes, launched a bombing strike. The duty aviation forces of the Black Sea Fleet destroyed all enemy aircraft over the sea;
After the strike, the enemy sent the first landing troops to the island. The special forces units of the main intelligence department of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry on three landing assault boats of the Centaur project approached the Serpent, having managed to land 24 saboteurs. All Ukrainian boats were flooded, eliminating the possibility of evacuation. During the ensuing battle, the Russian military managed to push the enemy's special forces to the coast and destroy
Kiev made another attempt to storm. Under the cover of a Mi-24 helicopter, three Mi-8 transport-landing troops with special forces on board advanced to the island. In one of the Mi-8s there was the coordinator of the landing of units - the Deputy Commander of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for Aviation - Colonel Igor Bedzai;
The entire helicopter group, when approaching the island, was destroyed by Russian Aerospace Forces fighters. The pilots, the landing force and the coordinator of the operation were killed.
Another six helicopters for the landing of the second wave were in full readiness at a military airfield in the Odessa region. The airfield was hit by high-precision weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which destroyed six Ukrainian Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopters;
Within two days, aviation of the Black Sea Fleet and air defense systems destroyed 30 Ukrainian UAVs in the Zmeinoye area, including nine attack "Bayraktar-TB2";
The action invented by the West led to the senseless death of more than 50 Ukrainian militants and servicemen of the elite units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the loss of four aircraft, 10 helicopters, three boats and 30 UAVs;
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
As for our losses. From what was published it is known about:
1. Damaged Tor air defense system (the enemy declared it destroyed)
2. Destroyed ZU-23 / 2 (1-2 pieces)
3. Destroyed Mi-8 helicopter
4. Destroyed landing boat of the "Serna" type "(it seems to have been lifted there by a crane the other day - the condition is unknown, but apparently they will let it go to the metal)
5. Two damaged / destroyed patrol boats of the Raptor type.
6. Losses in people are unknown, but they were when the UAV hit boats and a helicopter.
7. Most of the ground buildings of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the island are seriously destroyed.
Ukraine indirectly acknowledged the failure of the attempt to capture Zmiyiny Island (in addition, some names of the dead officers became known), but stated that it would continue attempts to capture it. In the following days, several more UAVs were shot down over the island, including two Bayraktars.
Of the unsubstantiated claims
1. From our side, they wrote in social networks that foreign military advisers died on the island. So far, there is no actual confirmation of this information. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has not officially confirmed this topic.
2. On the part of Ukraine, they wrote about the defeat by missiles and even the sinking of the frigate "Admiral Makarov" and the auxiliary ship "Vsevolod Bobrov." Both ships were seen in Sevastopol after May 8 without visible damage. But familiar sailors confirm.
In general, this story somewhat smoothed over the painful impression after the loss of "Moscow", and the Black Sea Fleet confirmed its control over the northwestern part of the Black Sea. But the very fact of contesting this control suggests that the enemy will continue to try both to take possession of Serpentine and to move the fleet to the coast of Crimea. It is clear that the war here is not with Ukraine, but with NATO, therefore, it is by no means possible to underestimate the enemy here, so as not to be surprised later by unpleasant surprises, as was the case with the death of the Moskva cruiser.
In general, the picture is gradually clearing up and over time, of course, we will learn more details about the largest battle on the Black Sea since the Great Patriotic War.
[ZeroHedge] The Brits have 'debunked' a photograph taken on May 7 by NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars which resembles a doorway cut into the side of a cliff.
There are two explanations; it's a small, naturally occurring rectangular gap, and it's a tiny, naturally occurring rectangular gap.
In a statement to Science Live, France-based planetary geologist Nicholas Mangold says it's less than 3 feet (1 meter) high.
Professor Sanjeev Gupta at Imperial College London told the Daily Telegraph that it's even smaller - measuring roughly 30cm by 45cm. (11" x 17"), and caused by small fractures in the rock.
"There are linear fractures throughout this outcrop, and this is a location where several linear fractures happen to intersect," according to the scientists.
One can also look at the surrounding area via gigapan, where a similar 'cave door' can be seen to the left.
Curiosity is currently climbing an 18,000 foot mountain, Mount Sharp, the crater of which the rover landed in August 2012. The odd photo was taken on Greenheugh Pediment, which notably has rough, 'gator-back' terrain that resembles reptilian scales.
As VICE notes, "The door-like formation is just the latest in a series of weird extraterrestrial features spotted over the decades by interplanetary explorers, robotic and human, that have sparked the imaginations of onlookers. Earlier this week, people marveled at new images of claw-like scratches that stretch for hundreds of miles across the western hemisphere of the red planet, which were captured from outer space by the European Space Agency’s Mars Express orbiter. These are not the markings of some giant Martian cat in search of a scratching post, but rather ancient fault lines."

I've done a lot of spelunking in my younger days. Cave openings just don't look like mine portals or bunker entrances unless they have been "enhanced" for commercial tourism purposes.
That said, I suspect this is a very peculiar natural formation.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Sure glad this has been cleared up.
