Foreign troops killed the old and young alike in Sudzha, local residents have claimed

Foreign mercenaries fighting for Kiev have executed a group of unarmed Russian civilians in the border town of Sudzha in Kursk Region, according to eyewitness accounts released by the Russian Defense Ministry.

Two local residents, who saw firsthand the actions of Ukrainian forces that invaded Russia in early August, painted a grim picture of the realities of the occupation, which included alleged war crimes and the persecution of civilians.

In a clip released on Sunday, a refugee named Dmitry, who apparently managed to make his way to Russian-controlled territory, recalled that the soldiers had "rounded up all the old people, the young, and shot them in front of everyone. They were Poles." He added that two civilians had managed to flee into a nearby forest during the commotion.

There are nearly a million people who are illiterate in Sweden, with immigration a major contributing factor

The number of people who are illiterate in Sweden is expected to exceed 800,000 in winter of this year, with researchers expecting the number to soon reach 1 million, in large part due to mass immigration.

The most recent survey by Statistics Sweden shows there are currently around 780,000 people between the ages of 16 and 65 who are illiterate in Sweden, but this number is soaring.

"Each month, eight to ten illiterate students arrive," said Rita Sommarkrans, SFI teacher in Västerås, to SVT. She added that if someone can't read or write, it's hard for them to find a place, pay their bills, or even book a doctor's appointment.

Russia eyes banning quadrobics

The viral trend spreading among Russian youth is seen as destructive by the State Duma Education Committee.

A law on prohibiting the promotion of destructive ideology in Russia is currently in the works, the deputy chair of the State Duma Education Committee, Yana Lantratova, said on Saturday in an interview with RIA Novosti. The ban would encompass quadrobics, which is rapidly gaining ground among young people.

Quadrobics is a subculture revolving around the impersonation of animals. Teenagers who call themselves quadrobers role-play as horses, cats, dogs and other animals by moving on all four limbs and imitating specific sounds, while wearing masks and costumes.

The subculture has recently seen explosive growth thanks to viral videos on TikTok and YouTube, and is believed to have been invented by Japanese sprint runner Kenichi Ito. In 2015, Ito set the Guinness record for running on all fours for 100 meters.
Lantratova told the news agency:
"I am developing a bill to ban the propaganda of destructive ideology, including quadrobics. A quadrober is not an outlaw, but a victim. I call for legal penalties against those who make movements of the kind popular and attractive. There are the whole communities that are not as innocent as it seems at first sight."

Hurricane Helene uncovers how broken the US insurance system is

Many homeowners in North Carolina won't be insured against flooding or landslides due to the fragmented way in which disasters are covered.

On Tuesday morning, five days after Hurricane Helene ripped through Boone, North Carolina, David Marlett was on his way to the campus of Appalachian State University. The managing director of the university's Brantley Risk & Insurance Center, Marlett was planning to spend the day working with his colleagues to help students and community members understand their insurance policies and file claims in the wake of the storm. He didn't sound hopeful. "I'm dreading it," he said. "So many people are just not going to have coverage."

Helene made landfall southeast of Tallahassee, Florida, last week with winds up to 140 miles per hour, downing trees and bringing record-breaking storm surges to areas along the Gulf Coast before charging up through Georgia. But perhaps its most shocking impacts have been on inland North Carolina, where it first started raining while the storm was still over Mexico. At least 57 people are dead in Buncombe County in the west of the state alone. Communities like Boone received dozens of inches of rainfall despite being hundreds of miles from the coast. Waters rose in main streets, sinkholes and mudslides wreaked havoc, and major roads were blocked, flooded, or degraded by the storm.

The largest pediatricians’ association in the U.S. removed Chloe Cole and other detransitioners from a conference this weekend where they were sharing their experiences with medical professionals.
'They don't want detransitioners here...they want to pretend that they don't exist.'

A conference hosted by the largest professional association of pediatricians in the United States kicked out a group of detransitioners who sought to share their perspectives with doctors, The Daily Wire has learned.

Detransitioners are individuals who attempted the impossible — to change their gender through hormonal or surgical transgender interventions — before stopping treatments and living as their biological sex. They are largely ignored in the mainstream media and dismissed by medical organizations. But many detransitioned individuals have taken their stories to social media and grown large followings as they spread awareness about the dangers of so-called "gender-affirming care."

The UK gov't wants to legalise 'assisted dying'. Here's what happens next.

The Parliament of the United Kingdom is moving forward with a vote on a new bill that will legalise assisted dying for those diagnosed with terminal illness.

The bill, proposed by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, has yet to be published in full. According to the BBC:
The details have not been finalised but the bill is likely to be similar to a proposal in the House of Lords, which would allow terminally ill adults with six months or fewer to live to get medical help to end their own lives.
This is the culmination of a years-long political, media and entertainment industry wide campaign to normalise euthanasia in the UK's public mind.

In that time we have been told that assisted dying is good for people, good for the NHS and good for the environment.

The bill is expected to be formally introduced on 16 October, with the first debate to take place later this year, meaning the vote will likely be held in early 2025.

I would be stunned if it doesn't pass.

Here is my prediction for what happens next...

Your government hates you: Biden-Harris' Helene response has been way worse than Katrina

The devastation wrought across the American Southeast by Category 4 Hurricane Helene last week has naturally drawn comparisons to the 2005 Hurricane Katrina response. As a veteran of military logistics, I can confirm that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris' response to this round of mass suffering has been orders of magnitude worse than federal actions taken after Katrina.

In August of 2005, I was a U.S. Army colonel serving on the Army staff in the Pentagon. Before Hurricane Katrina was even nearing landfall, I was detailed as a shift officer in the National Military Command Center (NMCC) for hurricane support operations. As a career logistics officer, this was the culmination of a noncombat mission I had been associated with since I was first commissioned: disaster relief and humanitarian support operations.

From the Yellowstone fires in 1988 while I was a mere first lieutenant, through Hurricane Fran while I was serving on Fort Bragg (now Fort Liberty) as a major in the 82nd Airborne Division, through the humanitarian missions the support battalion of the 82nd I commanded in Afghanistan accomplished, and through the many training events and "orders drills" I endured in this arena, this secondary mission of all logisticians was something that defined a substantial part of my military career. As such, I was privileged to be a part of the national support to Katrina.

trial of diddy
In bombshell allegations, an additional 120 victims have come forward to accuse rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs of sex abuse over a span of 25 years, with several underage victims, including a 9-year-old, among them.

The claims where made by Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee who announced he's representing 120 new victims who he believes have legitimate cases against the rapper turned media mogul.

Of the 120 new victims, 25 were underage when the alleged abuse happened between 1991 and as recently as this year, Buzbee revealed.

The youngest victims were 9, 14, 15 when they were victimized, the high-profile lawyer announced at a press conference in Houston Tuesday.

'This individual, who was 9 years old at the time, was taken to an audition in New York City with Bad Boy Records,' the attorney disclosed.

Israeli forces have killed at least 51 Palestinians and wounded 165 in the past day, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

This brings the Palestinian death toll in Gaza since 7 October 2023 to 41,689, with more than 96,625 wounded and an estimated 10,000 uncounted for and presumed dead.

The death toll includes at least 16,800 children, 11,400 women, nearly 1,000 health workers, 174 journalists and 220 UN workers.

Comment: The actual number of dead probably exceeds 100,000. The 'official' counting has slowed almost to a halt because the counters in Gaza have long since all been murdered by Israel.

Hurricane Helene victims in NC are fending for themselves, pathetic response from Biden-Harris' FEMA

Relief groups using planes, mules to deliver aid in North Carolina

Desperate residents of Hurricane Helene-ravaged western North Carolina are relying on homegrown rescue efforts instead of waiting for the Biden-Harris administration's financially depleted FEMA to get its act together.

Not content to hold out hope for help that some fear might not arrive in time, a handful of grassroots rescue operations have sprung up to render assistance by air, land and even on four legs.

With hundreds more missing in the remote, unforgiving terrain and communication services damaged or nonexistent, the search for survivors grows more dire with each passing hour.

Comment: There are so many back roads known only to the locals, who are being ignored/sidelined. The death toll is likely to be in the thousands, if an accurate count is ever allowed to be made. It would expose just how incompetent, at the very least, the government is. Many are of the opinion that it is actual malice toward a deeply red voting area of the country.
