A Russian fighter jet crashed into a residential building in the Siberian city of Irkutsk Sunday, killing both pilots, regional authorities said.

Irkutsk Governor Igor Kobzev said the plane came down on a two-story building in the city.

Kobzev said there were no casualties on the ground as the building's five residents were out at the time of the crash, adding that the residents would be offered temporary accommodation and compensation.

The cause of the crash was not immediately known, and an official probe has started.

Irkutsk, a major industrial centre of more than 600,000 in eastern Siberia, is home to an aircraft factory producing the Su-30 fighter planes.

Comment: Video below of the crash below. Regarding the Twitter comment, note that Russian military jets are used to neutralise Ukrainian military installations and facilities that support same, not civilians; the war has been ongoing for many months now and the low civilian death count is a testament to that:

Moldova: 'People deserve a normal life, not poverty!' - Anti-government rallies continue in Chisinau
Moldova's police have broken down an anti-government rally in Chisinau's central square, a TASS correspondent reported on Sunday.

The city's center was cordoned off by law enforcers and demonstrators could not reach the square. Earlier in the day, the police said that it was planned to organize a fair of local manufacturers on that square and accused the rally organizers of violations.

The protesters made several attempts to break through the police cordons but were pushed back. Several people were detained. After that, the demonstrators stopped clashes with the police and began the rally right there where they were stopped. Addressing the demonstrators, deputy leader of the Sor opposition party Marina Tauber accused President Maia Sandu of dictatorship and demanded her resignation.

Another business closes up shop in San Francisco, cites intolerable crime levels

Another San Francisco business has announced they will be pulling up stakes and moving out of the city because of intolerable crime and homelessness.

On Wednesday, the CEO of Cotopaxi, a high-end outdoor gear retailer, left a lengthy post on LinkenIn explaining the move. Davis Smith expressed sadness at what has become of San Francisco, saying that after only a year in business on Hayes Street, the crime and homeless situation has become too much for employees to handle. Smith says the store had their windows smashed out in just their first week in operation. They then had to replace the windows with plywood while they waited over a month for expensive metal security gates - gates that were on backorder because of high demand in the area.

The Cotopaxi founder also said they've been hit by organized crime rings repeatedly. Even locking the doors and only opening to customers didn't work to keep criminals out of the store. Security guards were rendered pointless and with police presence dwindling, Smith says the only option for the safety of his employees is to close the San Francisco location. He added his own terrifying experience with crime and the police response:

Comment: Please remember Dem's rule: It is the victim's fault, not the perpetrators!

Weaponized governmental failure: A primer

Editor's Note: The following contains an excerpt from Scott McKay's book The Revivalist Manifesto: How Patriots Can Win the Next American Era. It discusses a key concept which has appeared in several of his more recent columns to describe the decline of America's cities. With the 2022 midterm elections less than three weeks away and the alarming dysfunction of urban areas run by Democrats contributing in large measure to the public's unease as expressed in countless right track/wrong track surveys, Scott says nothing about any of this is accidental.

Let's call it Weaponized Governmental Failure. It's the single most explicative factor in the breakdown of American political consensus in the 21st century, even though it's been around since the latter part of the 20th century.

The simple definition of Weaponized Governmental Failure is this: It's the deliberate refusal to perform the basic tasks of urban governance for a specific political purpose.

The crime and the graft and the potholes and the bad drainage, not to mention the spotty trash collection or nonexistent snow shoveling, aren't incompetence. In fact, none of what you see in the American public sector is incompetence. The people responsible for it are quite highly educated and well-trained in their craft. You just need to understand what their craft is.

Biden and Israel stay silent on 100 settler attacks. Their apathy is fueling the violence

In 2014, Israel's then-Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, made an unusual call to a Palestinian family to express condolences for the death of their son. Mohammed Abu Khdeir was just 16 when he was kidnapped and brutally murdered by three Israeli settlers, who burned him alive. Khdeir's murder evoked a storm of condemnations from the U.S., the European Union, and the United Nations, as well as from Israel's government. Even the right-wing mayor of Jerusalem said the killing was "a horrible and barbaric act which I strongly condemn." The Israeli government added Khdeir to the Victims of Acts of Terror Memorial at Mount Herzl.

But this past July, when another Palestinian, 27-year-old Ali Hassan Harb, was stabbed to death by an Israeli settler who was trying to illegally seize land in a Palestinian village, Israel's reaction was very different: It sufficed with closing the probe into Harb's death and letting the assailant walk free.

No condemnations or condolences were made. There was just deafening silence — from the Israeli government and the international community alike.

Harb's murder was no anomaly. The last few months have seen an unprecedented surge of Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians and their property. In just 10 days, more than 100 "nationalist crimes" have been committed by large numbers of settlers, including women and children, against West Bank Palestinians, per security officials.

Yet there has been silence from the Biden administration, the EU, and Israeli government.

Steve Bannon becomes first person in nearly 40 years to be sentenced to prison based on contempt of Congress charge

Only a few weeks ago, it was the innocent Ginni Thomas, the wife of Clarence Thomas, who was caught up in the wide net cast by the unconstitutional Jan 6 Witch Hunt Committee, as she voluntarily testified before the angry mob of Democrats and RINOs. Although they knew they had nothing on Mrs. Thomas, who left the Ellipse on Jan. 6 before President Trump spoke because she was too cold to stay, they still held out hope that they could bloody her up a bit and weaken her sterling reputation and influence with conservative leaders in the DC Beltway. Meanwhile, individuals like Ray Epps, who were actually caught on camera encouraging individuals to "go inside the Capitol," are not even on the radar of the Witch Hunt Committee.

Aluminum market braces for turmoil

The global metals market has been weighing potential supply disruptions following news that US government is considering a ban on Russian aluminum. Prices have been in a disarray amid growing uncertainty.

According to experts, unsold metal tends to end up in the London Metal Exchange (LME) warehousing system, which are warehouses authorized by the exchange to store LME-registered metal.

"It's been very disappointing for the poor aluminum market to see kind of a double whammy from weakening global demand, in China in particular, but also Russia dumping aluminum on the global market," Wolfe Research mining and metal analyst Timna Tanners told CNBC on Thursday. "So definitely this quarter reflected those challenges."

The next quarter could also be affected unless there is some action to stop the potential dumping of Russian-origin metal and a lift in Chinese demand, both in infrastructure development and property construction, Tanners warned.

Last week, media reported that the White House was mulling an effective ban on Russian imports of the metal used in transport and construction. The reports indicated that Washington was eyeing three options, which could include an outright ban, increasing tariffs to levels so punitive they would impose an effective ban, or sanctioning Russian company Rusal, which produces the metal.

Industry experts have warned that such a move could destabilize metal markets around the globe. The embargo on aluminum, which is crucial to most heavy industries, could potentially force consumers in the US and other countries into a rush to find replacement metal.
