While the majority of Americans both on the political right and left, deplore last month's Russian invasion of Ukraine; a few welcome it as being on the right side of history. "CPI opening ceremony with Soviet and American flags with The Internationale and The Star-Spangled Banner playing in the background before the unvailing of the Donetsk People's Republic flag! Proud to be apart of this historic day!" Tweeted Dr. Ryan L. Cotten. He is a self described "Marxist-Leninist," anti-imperialist,...
In a story that this reporter anticipates will get Fox News Host Tucker Carlson fired; Carlson basically said that the US is lying about its bioweapons program in Ukraine, not Russia "Military biological development labs funded by the US are under development in Ukraine. That's the Russian claim," said Tucker "What exactly are they, the US Government, doing in these secret biological research labs? Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe, it's not exactly a hotbed of biological research. Why...
As you might expect, conspiracy theories are making the rounds on Russian social media. One theory that the real reason Russia invaded Ukraine has nothing to do with history, national pride, neo-Nazi's or internal Ukraine politics. It's about the CIA Biolabs, of course. The US Embassy to Ukraine denied these rumors 2 years ago. But some Russians nevertheless deflect blame for their invasion, on the US and the CIA. "I'm not sure what the whole truth is, but for one, there are 11 bio labs in...
Someone in Ukraine's government tax office has a sense of humor. A post from Ukraine's tax office says there is no need to declare captured Russian tanks or other equipment as income. The release reads as follows: "Have you captured a Russian tank or armored personnel carrier and are worried about how to declare it? Keep calm and continue to defend the Motherland! There is no need to declare the captured Russian tanks and other equipment, because the cost of this ... does not exceed 100 living...
Why is Vladimir Putin suddenly making such a big issue about Ukraine? After all, the Soviet Union broke up 30 years ago and Ukraine has been independent ever since. What if his crisis level urgency has an otherworldly explanation? Some speculate that the answer is about a race to reverse engineer alien technology. I don't know if I believe it myself, but it does explain why there's suddenly a large US military facility in Poland near the border with Belarus. It explains the apparent sudden...
2/16/22 The RCMP has arrested a cougar in a neighborhood of Vancouver. For, well, stalking I guess. This from CanadaPoliceReport.com. The report is reprinted below. The cougar was tranquilized, and released elsewhere. Which impressed me especially, since I witnessed Santa Monica police shoot a mountain lion who wandered into downtown Santa Monica in 2012. The cougar is also called Puma, Mountain Lion or Catamount. The big cat is listed as Least Concern by biologists, who not nevertheless that...
The AP Reports that in a last minute meeting brokered by French President Emmanuel Macron, US President Joseph R. Biden has agreed to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, possibly in Paris, in a summit next week. Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh. But the comparison between Biden and 1938's British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, are obvious. In 1938, Chamberlain agreed to meet Hitler, and came away with a deal allowing the Fuhrer to walk away with the Sudetenland, the German speaking part...
8: Some were reminded of Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Birds," when surveillance footage captured a bizarre moment. One Tuesday afternoon, ordinary life in a neighborhood in Mexico was interrupted when a flock of birds fell from the sky mid-flight. A local veterinarian told police in the northern Mexican city of Chihuahua that the birds could have died after inhaling toxic fumes. But others believe it's more likely that they were struck by lightning mid flight. "Those were invasive...
According to a post on NextDoor, dognappers attempted to steal a French Bulldog from an owner in Santa Monica. The three teenagers pinned the owner on the ground. But he beat them off through use of pepper spray. Lady Gaga's bulldogs were famously the subject of a theft in 2021. Los Angeles County is currently experiencing a crime wave, as are other areas of the US. The Nextdoor post reads as follows: "*DOG THIEVES IN OCEAN PARK* I was just jumped in broad daylight by 3 teenagers trying to...
Elon Musk would be proud. In a show of support to send the crypto currency "to the Moon," the Santa Monica Pier will display the Shiba Inu dog that represents Dogecoin in lights on the Ferris Wheel. The Ferris wheel is part of Pacific Park, the amusement park on the Santa Monica pier. The Pier is 111 years old, and is a symbol of Los Angeles and of Santa Monica. Doge is an Internet meme that became popular in 2013. The meme typically consists of a picture of a Shiba Inu dog accompanied by...
2/1/22: I've never really warmed up to Whoopi Goldberg. Aside from culturally appropriating my own ethnicity (her real name is Karen Henry); she just isn't that funny. She also walks with a heavy helping of self righteousness. She speaks about topics of which she has no particular knowledge. Nowhere was that more evident than when she said that the Holocaust in WWII was not a reflection of Racism, because it was white people killing other white people. Anyone who has read Mein Kampf knows Der...
Astronomers think it might be a remnant of a collapsed star, either a dense neutron star or a dead white dwarf star, with a strong magnetic field -- or it could be an artificial lighthouse, warning space ships away from some danger. Radio astronomers report that they have found a signal from space unlike anything observed by Earthmen before. It has been likened to "a celestial lighthouse" by astronomers. While mapping radio waves across the universe, astronomers happened upon a celestial object...
The Under Doge, a woman who lives in Atlanta, GA, claims to have seen Sasquatch waiting in line to buy beef jerky at BJ's Market. The crypto creature did not actually speak to anyone. But who speaks to anyone in line anymore? "People go their whole lives looking for the big guy in the woods when all they had to do was get a bjs membership! Who knew?" reported the Under Doge. She has 28,000 followers, and the tweet has 221 likes. Was he wearing a mask? Did he have proof of vaccination? "No, I...
I am often skeptical of reports like this one, but it comes with video that just can't be ignored. A pilot believes he saw a series of UFOs while flying over the Pacific Ocean. He captured a video clip of the 12 lights, apparently rotating and moving at high velocity. The clearest UFO video in years shows 12 lights moving in formation at high velocity. In the video, the pilot can be heard saying: "I do not know what that is. That is some weird s**t. That is something flying." The pilot then...
If you didn't get that laptop you ordered on Amazon, I think I can explain why. A video posted to twitter shows men looting a freight train as it stops in a Chicago rail yard. This problem which has recently come to light in Los Angeles, appears to be affecting other rail yards in other towns as well. It is one of the causes of the supply chain crisis in the United States. A crowd of men loot a freight train in Chicago in a video posted by @ronmilnerboodle, which may be seen at this link:...
Update: A spokesman for the MTA denies that this incident ever took place. However, it was described on the LAPD scanner, sources say. Well, it's not the first ever. But it is the first in a really long time. In a scene out of an old western movie, thieves in downtown Los Angeles have blocked a train from moving, and robbed the passengers. This was reported in a tweet from @downtownlascan. "Possible robbery of a train in progress. Suspects stopped the train and has multiple vans lined up to...

Actor Bob Saget was found dead in a hotel room in Orlando on Sunday, according to authorities. The cause of death is under investigation, but no foul play is suspected. Twitter wants to know why they won't release the cause of death. The twitter mob suspects they don't want us to know his death was caused by his recent vaccination. "Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room. The man was identified as Robert...
A concert at Santa Monica High School intended to thank Dr Barbara Ferrer for her work on Covid, has been cancelled due to the rise in Covid cases. Ferrer famously has lead Los Angeles County through the widely unpopular lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates. She's not a real doctor; her PHD is in Equity of Communities. She is reviled on the right and adored on the left. Press release cancelling the concert reads: On the eve of Jacaranda's announcement of its plan to honor LA County's Director...
With Covid-19 case counts exploding in Los Angeles County and across the U.S., schools are mostly still planning to reopen.

In yet another sign of inflation, U.S. automobile dealers are adding premiums of up to $50,000 on new cars. This is on top of the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price. A photo posted on Facebook shows a 2022 Dodge Ram 1500 TRX for sale for an MSRP of $94,370. An anti theft option and other options, add $4,480. A "Market Adjustment" adds another $50,000, so you're out the door for $148,000. Plus tax and license, which would take you to about $165,000 out the door. Or about the average price of a...
A navy crew that is 100% vaccinated against Covid-19, has been sidelined due to an outbreak of Covid-19. The USS Milwaukee, with 125 men on board, is now confined due to the coronavirus outbreak to the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Cuba, reports the Washington Post. A coronavirus outbreak aboard the USS Milwaukee, whose entire crew was "100 percent immunized," has forced the ship to remain in port after a scheduled stop in Cuba barely one week into its deployment, the Navy announced Friday.
