Need to Know News (26 December 2022) with Carl Herman and Chris Weinert

The Kremlin has assessed the Congressional address of Zelensky, where he is being lauded as "the new Churchill" but is leading his nation--and (probably) the US and NATO as well--down a primrose path to nuclear Armageddon. The Russians continue to warn that more weapons and money are only prolonging the outcome, where a Russian victory is inevitable, but where they are putting WWIII at risk The PATRIOT batters are manned by US military and will be promptly taken out. Longer range weapons invite Russia to deal with the co-combatants, who are providing them. Stupidity will out--in this case, potentially at the cost of Western Civilization. An Arizona judge has ruled against Keri Lake, one more insult to our belief in equitable justice under the law. The evidence in her case of election theft was so immense and indisputable that many Americans are going to draw the conclusion that democracy in the United States is a fairy tale to keep the masses pacified on the basis of false concepts of what this nation is all about. It's all smoke and mirrors. We really are a 3rd world country. The Senate (and now the House as well) has passed a dozen infringements upon our exercise of the 2nd Amendment, one more indication that things are not right in Washington, D.C. The FBI's attempt to defect evidence of its manipulation of public opinion through contacts with Twitter officials as "conspiracy theories" has not gone down well, since the emails between them are now publicly available. It thus reinforces the impression that the FBI has been completely politicized in ways that defeat the exercise of democracy here in the USA. A federal judge says that school districts do not have to notify parents of their children's desire to gender transfer, which (it claims) does not "shock the conscience", which suggests the judge doesn't have much of one. And the Marine Corps is now supposed to be going "woke" by no longer using "Sir" and "Mam'' to address superiors! This is ridiculous beyond belief and, as a former Marine Corps Captain, would turn the Corps into a panty-waist organization, where self-respecting Marines will get out and leave the nation to rot--which the Democrats are promoting with vigor and enthusiasm. BARF!
