The Racine County Sheriff's Office announced in November that it plans to forward election fraud charges against several members of the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) to the Racine County District Attorney's Office.

Sheriff Christopher Schmaling has recommended criminal charges against five members of the Wisconsin Election Commission, including election fraud charges after Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul failed to conduct a statewide investigation into WEC's decision to suspend the Special Voting Deputy process required, according to a media release.

Sheriff Schmaling named the five commissioners as Margaret Bostelmann, Julie Glancey, Ann Jacobs, Dean Knudson, and Mark Thomsen. Robert Spindell, Jr., a Republican appointed to the committee, was the only commissioner omitted from the referral to County District Attorney Patricia Hanson.

The announcement comes after Schmaling and lead investigator Sgt. Michael Luell held a press conference alleging that the WEC broke the law when it suspended special voting deputies (SVDs) from going to nursing homes to assist with voting and opted instead for the regular absentee ballot process. Special voting deputies are appointed by local election clerks to assist with voting, according to the Wisconsin Examiner.

Schmaling claimed that through the regular absentee ballot process, residents of a Mount Pleasant nursing home were then illegally coerced by staff into voting. Schmaling pointed out that some of the residents are cognitively impaired.

Toyota Motor Co on Friday expanded production stoppages at some factories in Japan because of a shortage of components shipped from parts plants in Southeast Asia.

The latest halts will cut car output by 9,000 vehicles when added to curbs announced on Thursday, affecting production of Lexus models and its four-wheel-drive Land Cruiser, Toyota said in a press release.

Although limited, the cuts come as Toyota tries to make up for production lost to earlier supply-chain disruptions in Malaysia and Vietnam that forced it to trim vehicle output even as demand for cars in markets such as China rebounded as coronavirus lockdowns ended.

Comment: How many other businesses continue to struggle because of the previous lockdown stoppages and backlog? And, with more lockdowns being threatened by governments across the planet, it's inevitable that an increasing number of businesses, particularly small and medium, will go bust: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Is The Government Hyping Shortages?

Julian Assange has had a stroke in Belmarsh Prison, his fiancee Stella Moris revealed last night.

The WikiLeaks publisher, 50, who is being held on remand in the maximum-security jail while fighting extradition to America, was left with a drooping right eyelid, memory problems and signs of neurological damage.

He believes the mini-stroke was triggered by the stress of the ongoing US court action against him, and an overall decline in his health as he faces his third Christmas behind bars.

Comment: How is this anything but the state-sanctioned torture of a political prisoner?

Groups opposing the nationwide Covid-19 vaccine mandate, which is due to be introduced in February 2022, advertised the event as a "mega-demo for freedom and against chaos and coercion."

Vienna police have deployed 1,400 officers, including reinforcements from other regions, to prevent major disturbances and ensure that people are wearing masks.

A Connecticut resident and CNN employee is facing federal charges after enticing women and their underage daughters to engage in illegal sexual activity at his home in Vermont, federal prosecutors said Friday.

John Griffin, 44, of Stamford, was arrested Friday by the FBI after a federal grand jury in Vermont charged him with three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity.

Griffin appeared Friday afternoon in New Haven federal court via Zoom. Judge Robert Spector said he would file an order for Griffin to be transferred to Vermont.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Griffin has been a CNN employee since 2013.

Comment: Is CNN a cesspool of sexual misconduct? It sure looks like it.

Will Russia block Tor? Here's what you need to know about Pentagon-backed darknet tool

Russia's media watchdog has added the main website of the Tor Project to a list of restricted addresses. The Seattle-based NGO responded with a call to ramp up support for its operations in the world's largest country

Based on Pentagon-funded internet traffic routing technology, The Tor Project promotes the development of an anonymity network.

It offers users a way to dodge surveillance of their online behavior and access anonymous websites that are normally restricted in certain jurisdictions. The project touts itself as anti-censorship.

Did Russia ban Tor?

Not quite. This week, Roskomnadzor (RKN), the Russian telecommunications watchdog, sent a warning to the Tor Project. The Tuesday notice said the project's main website, www.torproject.org, was flagged as containing information "the distribution of which is banned in Russia" and that unless the unlawful material was deleted, the address may be blocked in the country.

Diversity and inclusion are bad for people's health

As a doctor, I am deeply concerned that the American medical profession is no longer a meritocracy and the desire to tick diversity boxes is considered more important. This ill-advised embrace of identity politics will cost lives.

American patients are in serious trouble.

Yes, poor patient behavior in the United States continues to drive chronic disease and healthcare expenses, as the obesity epidemic is only growing more dire and smokers and drunks keep killing themselves slowly with their self-abusive habits. But that isn't why.

Yes, physician burnout remains pervasive and is increasing, especially in this exhausting age of Covid, as government bureaucracy and insurance companies and hospital administrations keep shoving burdensome paperwork, regulations, and requirements upon doctors' weary shoulders, pulling their attention away from patient care. Yes, older doctors are selling out to corporations in droves, leaving their younger colleagues frustrated, overworked, and at the mercy of corporate suits who see medical professionals as costly assets, not caregivers. That isn't why, either.

The U.S. military ended its combat operations in Iraq this week under terms from an earlier agreement, though thousands of troops will remain in the country for now, the Pentagon said Thursday.

About 2,500 service members are in Iraq after months of winding down the mission against the Islamic State group; they will continue advising and training Iraqi security forces after the transition was completed this week. The change was finalized at the conclusion of technical talks between the two countries Thursday.

The move marks a de-escalation of the U.S.-led coalition's war against the Islamic State, or ISIS, that began in 2014 as the terrorist group swept through Iraq, staged public executions, and sponsored attacks around the world.


Comment: What exactly do the US claim to have achieved? Because ISIS haven't been defeated, the US-backed terrorist group have ramped up their attacks on Afghanistan.

Leaked doc reveals UKHSA advises harsher restrictions over risk of 'NHS being overwhelmed' by Omicron

Britain's top public health officials have advised ministers that "stringent national measures" need to be imposed by 18 December to avoid Covid hospitalisations surpassing last winter's peak, according to documents leaked to the Guardian.

Sajid Javid, the health secretary, received a presentation from the UK Health and Security Agency (UKHSA) on Tuesday warning that even if the new Omicron variant leads to less serious disease than Delta, it risks overwhelming the NHS with 5,000 people admitted to hospital a day.


Comment: UK hospitals weren't overwhelmed last year, during some months they had 15% less patients than previous years, and Nightingale Covid hospitals closed due to a lack of patients.


In an interview with the Guardian, the epidemiologist Prof Neil Ferguson said the total could be double that number.

No 10 insisted there were no imminent plans to bring in more measures after plan B measures were announced for England this week but cabinet minister Michael Gove, who chaired a Cobra meeting on Friday, said the government had been presented with some "very challenging information" about the speed of the spread.


Comment: The government had no reason to enforce the first raft of lockdown restrictions, never mind any more.
