Hardly breaking news to those of us who have eyes to see and ears to hear.Ronny Jackson, A Former WH Physician, Says Biden Has Age Related Cognitive Decline.Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), a former White House physician who served under former Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, said last week that President Joe Biden, who turns 79 this month, has “age-related cognitive decline” and is not “mentally fit” to serve as president. Jackson, speaking on a podcast with Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), also said that he received a “scathing” email from Obama accusing him of “betrayal” for talking about Biden’s mental state in the past. “All I know is that he’s got age-related cognitive decline, right. He is not mentally fit right now,” Jackson said on the podcast, the Washington Examiner reported. “He’s 78 years old and you can see it. You don’t need to be a physician to look at him and to look at his behavior and some of the other stuff, just the way he shuffles away, stares off into space.” “I know what that job entails, both physically and mentally, and how demanding it is. And I can tell you right now, I’m 100% sure that Joe Biden is incapable of doing that job,” the doctor added. Following a fumbling speech from Biden back in August, Jackson posted critical commentary of the president. “That was embarrassing,” he tweeted. “There is something so obviously wrong with Biden’s cognitive fitness it was hard to watch. He should NOT remain President for another SECOND. We deserve better – MUCH better.” link

No where else have I found any mention of this on the internet. Wonder why.Ghislaine Maxwell is finally in court to answer for her crimesLong before dawn on Monday morning, Ghislaine Maxwell will be taken out of her 6ft by 9ft cell at Brooklyn's bleak Metropolitan Detention Centre for a day the British socialite has long fought desperately to avoid. In her blue prison uniform, shackled by her hands and feet, she will be ushered into a white Department of Corrections prison van for the six-mile journey through Brooklyn, across the East River and on to a downtown Manhattan court. The route offers a fine view of the Statue of Liberty and should she catch a glimpse of it through the window grilles, its welcome to the world's 'huddled masses' may now ring hollow for this particular immigrant. Thirty years after she moved to the US following the death of her father Robert Maxwell – the newspaper publisher who plundered millions from his companies' pension funds – and tirelessly worked to reinvent herself, she faces charges that could see the American Dream end for her in a maximum 80-year sentence. When she arrives at the courthouse in Foley Square on Monday, facing charges over allegedly helping her super-rich friend Jeffrey Epstein groom and sexually abuse underage girls, she will be transferred to a holding cell before being led to a courtroom reserved for high-profile trials. So what can we expect in the coming weeks? And, above all, will Prince Andrew – who she introduced to Epstein – be dragged into the case? Here is our step-by-step guide to what many predict will be one of the trials of the century. What are the charges? Maxwell faces six charges, including enticement of minors, sex trafficking of children, and perjury. From 1994 to 2004, she allegedly 'assisted, facilitated and contributed' to Epstein's abuse of children as young as 14. She denies all of the charges. The accusers At least four women will testify against Maxwell, one of whom is understood to be British. All but one of them is having her anonymity protected by the judge but they will give evidence in full view of the court and press gallery. The witness who has given up her right to anonymity is American psychologist Annie Farmer. She has already alleged Maxwell and Epstein sexually abused her when she was 16 while she was at his New Mexico mansion in 1996. Annie says that, having become her 'big sister' figure, Maxwell repeatedly asked if she wanted a massage. After finally giving in, she ended up lying on her back topless as Maxwell massaged her chest in an 'inappropriate' way. She sensed Epstein was nearby, watching, and says he later came into her bedroom and asked for a 'cuddle', before crawling into bed and sexually assaulting her. Ms Farmer, who has described Maxwell as a 'sexual predator' who has 'never shown any remorse for her heinous crimes', has made clear she would never have got into such a position if Maxwell hadn't earned her trust. The unidentified British accuser had previously alleged that Maxwell recruited her in London in 1994 to massage Epstein knowing that he'd force her to have sex. However, she was 17 at the time – above the UK's age of consent – prompting Maxwell's lawyers to challenge whether she can be considered a 'victim'. This matter remains unresolved. Prosecutors have said they expect several other women to testify, providing supporting evidence. Will they include Virginia Roberts, now Giuffre, who claims she was recruited by Maxwell and then sexually trafficked to Prince Andrew, an allegation he strenuously denies? While Maxwell has insisted she's a scapegoat, a 'substitute' for Epstein who committed suicide in his cell while awaiting trial in August 2019, her accusers beg to differ, in some cases saying that they regard her, a fellow woman who they had often regarded as a trusted friend, as even more despicable than Epstein. Although with Epstein dead, her trial will ultimately come down to her word against theirs, key questions remain – notably, how much mud will Maxwell try to sling at her accusers? Who's who in court The judge Alison Nathan, a former associate White House counsel for President Barack Obama, sits as a district judge for the Southern District of New York. She is only the second openly gay federal judge in the US and is married to Meg Satterthwaite, a fellow professor at New York University's School of Law. They have twin sons. The prosecutors Maxwell is up against the formidable US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, with a team of prosecutors who have pulled off many groundbreaking and historic cases. link

This is just me speaking regarding the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. It's being heavily televised here in the States. Everyone says what an important milestone this trial is. I do not agree. As far as I am concerned this was all ANTIFA out destroying property, rioting, creating mayhem. All of them. They had guns illegally on the streets, firing them, killing with them, brandishing them. The lot of them should be imprisoned.
In my opinion this is a false flag. Keeps our attention focused over here while (for example) they are vaccinating our children by the thousands. To hell with Kyle Rittenhouse and the whole bunch of them.
God, even the soul survivor. Gaige Grosskreutz is his name. I watched a portion of his testimony. At one point he said he thought he was going to die. Really? Then why were you running towards the conflict? Ass.
I will not cover this trial. It's a travesty in the making. Oh all the bullshit about how the judge is this or that, how Rittenhouse is this or that. The prosecutors outrage the judge, Grosskreutz is such a victim. Shut the fuck up and get out of my face.

Record 164 ships wait off California coast to unload cargoA record 164 freighters would wait off the coast of California on Wednesday to unload cargo as President Biden’s supply chain crisis persists. According to Marine Exchange, 164 freighters were wait unload containers at the docks. Of the 164, 109 were container ships, of which 79 were anchored or loitering and 30 docked. Wednesday’s record breaks the November 5 record as 159 ships waited to unload containers. On October 19, 100 ships were delayed unloading cargo, another record amount. October’s numbers are higher than September’s. On September 25, 60 ships would wait for the unloading of the goods. The backlog of transatlantic shipping at southern California ports is likely leading to the supply chain crisis and exacerbating inflation. Southern California ports are responsible for 40 percent of all containers shipped to the United States. If goods are stuck in ports, prices are impacted by the lack of supply. Ships appear unable to unload cargo as ports are crowded with containers waiting for truckers to drive cargo to locations across the country. But ports appear to be struggling to efficiently move containers from ships to trucks or trains. Truck drivers have complained of waiting hours to pick up a load of freight at ports, hampering their productivity. With delays affecting the ability of drivers to earn a living, the trucking industry faces a labor shortage of 30% or 80,000 drivers in actual numbers. In addition to dealing with delays at ports, truckers also have to deal with California paperwork, which has ruled out massive trailers in favor of more fuel-efficient vans. Drivers must also pay for truck upgrades to reduce emissions. Truck drivers, many of whom are new immigrants, also face tough deals with employers. Breitbart News previously reported: If the truckers are late in paying, get sick, or have no money to fix the truck, the trucking companies fire the driver and repossess the truck, along with any equity the driver has invested. United States today reported. Drivers who are not made redundant “sometimes end up owing their employers money” and fail to get out of debt. Unable to reimburse their employer, the drivers work essentially for free, never being able to make much money. Drivers are also grappling with increasing expenses related to maintaining or purchasing a platform. Breitbart News reported that “the price of truck trailers jumped 6.6% in October from the previous month, the biggest monthly gain on record in the Department of Labor’s Producer Price Index records dating back to 1981 “. Overall, truck shipping has become more expensive. Prices in October rose to a record high 3.5 percent. link

Austria will lockdown the unvaxxed Austria will impose new curbs on the unvaccinated starting from Monday. The measure aims to ease pressure on hospitals and ICUs. The lockdown will come into effect at midnight and will apply to people aged 12 and older who have not been vaccinated and have not recently recovered from Covid-19. “This step was not easy to take, but it is necessary,” Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said. “The risk for the unvaccinated people is much higher. Therefore, we are forced to take this difficult step to reduce the number of contacts.” Schallenberg said the fourth wave of infections had hit the country with “full force.” The chancellor once again urged people to get vaccinated in order to “break” the wave. “Otherwise we’ll never escape this vicious cycle.” Two of the hardest-hit regions, Upper Austria and Salzburg, were the first to announce they would impose a lockdown on Monday. Interior Minister Karl Nehammer earlier said lockdown violators would face hefty fines. Customers may be punished with a fine of up to €500 ($573) for flouting restrictions while businesses may be slapped with a penalty of up to €30,000 ($34,354). “For those who keep to all the measures, it’s more than unfair if there are people who think they can simply circumvent or even fool health authorities, the health ministry and experts’ guidelines,” the minister explained. The idea of a lockdown exclusively targeting the unvaccinated was first floated by the government in September as a response to a nightmare scenario in which 30% of ICU beds would be occupied by Covid-19 patients. That figure currently stands at 20% and is rising. Health officials have grown increasingly alarmed that hospitals will become overcrowded amid what they call “the pandemic of the unvaccinated.” President Alexander Van der Bellen warned on Saturday that the situation in some hospitals and ICUs was “unbearable,” and could deteriorate further unless strong action is taken. Roughly 65% of Austria's nine-million population have been fully vaccinated, one of the lowest rates in Europe, according to Reuters. The Austrian government warned that around 83% of symptomatic cases recorded between January and September of this year involved unvaccinated people. link

Military Arrests Former President George W. Bush
U.S. Special Forces arrested former President George W. Bush Saturday morning at his Crawford, Texas, ranch following a blistering firefight with Secret Service agents and private security contractors assigned to protect him. On Friday evening, a Special Forces “Alpha Detachment” stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, received from U.S. Army Special Operations Command orders to infiltrate the ranch and arrest the 43rd president. SF were told to expect resistance because recent intelligence on the ranch showed that Bush had surrounded himself with armed private security contractors in addition to the trio of Secret Service agents that routinely patrolled the grounds. Transportation to the ranch was provided by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, nicknamed Night Stalkers, a group of highly skilled chopper pilots that conduct transport, attack, assault, and reconnaissance missions, at night, at low altitude, and on short notice. The choppers had to make 3 refueling stops to reach their destination. Under cover of darkness early Saturday morning, the choppers descended into a clearing near the southeast corner of Bush’s 1,600-acre ranch, far from the staff trailers and the main house where they hoped to find Bush sleeping. After offloading SF, the choppers ascended into the night to await a call for exfiltration. A military source familiar with the mission told Real Raw News that Special Operations Command had obtained detailed satellite imagery of the property as well as locations of trail cams that live-streamed to a communications bunker 100 yards from the main building. “Intelligence estimated that Bush had 20 security contractors and 3 Secret Service on the property. The plan was to exploit blind spots in the surveillance cameras, ingress to the main building, subdue Bush’s personal guards, and drag him to the exfil point without alerting the larger security force. But something went horribly wrong,” our source said. Special Forces had approached to within 200 yards of the main house when all hell broke loose. Two open-top ATVs, each with a driver and 3 security personnel, sped out of the darkness and toward the encroaching SF unit, the headlights momentarily illuminating the soldiers as they separated into groups and dove for cover. Bush’s security unleashed a hailstorm of suppressive fire, wounding one soldier and killing another. While one SF group engaged the enemy, the other dashed toward the main house, hoping to capture Bush before he could be evacuated on his own private helicopter, which sat parked near the main structure. “The battle turned in our favor quickly. SF took cover behind a rock wall and with the aid of NVGs shot out the tires on both vehicles and then killed or grievously wounded Bush’s security. But they knew there was still at least a dozen patrolling the property and they would’ve been alerted and on their way. Time was of the essence,” our source said. The second SF unit reached the main house just as 2 Secret Service agents emerged and began steering Bush, still in his pajamas, to an armored limousine parked alongside dense shrubbery. SF instructed them to halt and throw up their hands, but the agents wheeled around and drew weapons, only to be killed a second later. Somewhere on the property a deafening klaxon blared like an air raid siren. “They gagged and bagged Bush, then regrouped. They couldn’t make the exfil point, not with one KIA and a teammate with a sucking chest wound. They radioed for pickup where they stood. A pilot told them that enemy forces were mobilizing near the staff trailers, and they had only minutes to get out of there. The birds weren’t armed for combat; otherwise, they could’ve hosed down those trailers,” our source said. The choppers touched down only long enough to retrieve SF and their package, avoiding further conflict. Our source said that JAG and the Office of Military Commissions had long sought Bush’s arrest. He did not say why it waited so long or why it felt such an impetus to grab Bush Saturday morning. Bush, he said, has been charged with treason and is being held to account for the deaths of thousands of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and for his role in masterminding 9/11, in addition to other crimes. “He will face a military tribunal,” our source said.
