The Minister stressed that the intentions of European countries were literally "exposed" during the special operation. According to him, the Russian Federation will fulfill the tasks of protecting civilians in Ukraine.

Moscow's fears about the West's plans for Ukraine were 100% confirmed. This was stated by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a press conference with his Malaysian counterpart Abdoulaye Diop.

"They explained once again the reasons why we had no other choice but to launch a special military operation, during which, by the way, all our fears about what the West was trying to do from Ukraine are absolutely confirmed," he said.

According to the minister, the intentions of European countries were literally "exposed" during the special operation. Lavrov reminded his Malian counterpart about what has been happening in Ukraine over the past eight years, as well as about Kiev's refusal to comply with the UN Security Council resolution on the settlement in Donbass. All the tasks set by Russian President Vladimir Putin will be fulfilled. We are talking about protecting civilians in Ukraine, primarily in the Donbas, and preventing the creation of direct threats to Russia's security in Ukraine, the minister added.

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that military threats near Russia's western borders are increasing. In particular, the minister recalled that the closest neighbors of the Russian Federation — Finland and Sweden — have applied to join NATO, so tensions continue to increase.

>What the fuck makes this evil cunt think she could receive communion anyway? - The church really just need to excommunicate her AND Biden

https://nypost.com/2022/05/20/san-francisco-archbishop-bars-pelosi-from-communion-over-abortion/

San Francisco’s Roman Catholic archbishop has banned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) from receiving Holy Communion during Mass until she repents of her public pro-abortion stance. “A Catholic legislator who supports procured abortion, after knowing the teaching of the Church, commits a manifestly grave sin which is a cause of most serious scandal to others,” Ssalvatore Cordileone wrote in a public notification Friday. “Therefore, universal Church law provides that such persons ‘are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.'” “I am hereby notifying you that you are not to present yourself for Holy Communion and, should you do so, you are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, until such time as you publically repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance,” the 65-year-old clergyman wrote.

The Conservative Political Action Conference this week is meeting in Hungary, where authoritarian strongman Viktor Orban is giving them pointers on how to take and wield power.

Kim Lane Scheppele, a professor of international affairs at Princeton University and expert on Hungarian politics, tells Grid News in an interview that Trump supporters are hoping to replicate Orban's political success in the United States by rigging election rules so that they can effectively rule the country despite having the support of a minority of voters.

"Orban’s base is about the same size as Trump’s base: About a third of the Hungarian population will defend him no matter what," she explains. The rest of Orban’s victory is a combination of lying about the opposition, coming up with hot button issues that get the electorate riled up before the election, coming out with all of these social welfare benefits to essentially buy off parts of constituency and then rigged election rules."

The result, she says, is that Orban has "perfected the art of taking one-third of your public as a base and constantly locking in super-majoritarian power by rigging all the other rules."

This is more of a challenge in the United States, however, which has a longer democratic tradition and a broad media ecosystem that prevents one party or faction from establishing permanent dominance over a prolonged period of time.

In Hungary, meanwhile, Orban has shut down critical media outlets, which would be a direct violation of the United States Constitution's First Amendment.

"Orban won reelection with a campaign slogan of 'peace and security,' promising Hungarians, 'I will not drag you into war, but the opposition will,'" says Scheppele. "Which was a lie about the opposition, but Orban controls all the media, so how was the opposition going to get their views out?"

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/20/business/tesla-stock-elon-musk.html

Investors are reassessing the premise that justified Tesla’s astronomical stock price and made its founder, Elon Musk, the richest person in the world.
Tesla’s $1 trillion valuation made sense only if investors believed the electric car company was on a path to dominate the auto industry the way Apple rules smartphones or Amazon commands online retailing.
But Tesla’s shares have declined more than 40 percent since April 4 — a much steeper fall than the broad market, vaporizing more than $400 billion in stock market value. And the tumble has called attention to the risks that the company faces. These include increasing competition, a dearth of new products, lawsuits accusing the company of racial discrimination and significant production problems at Tesla’s factory in Shanghai, which it uses to supply Asia and Europe.

Mr. Musk has not helped the stock price by turning his bid to buy Twitter into a financial soap opera. His antics have reinforced the perception that Tesla lacks an independent board of directors that could stop him from doing things that might damage the company’s business and brand.
“From a corporate good governance perspective Tesla has a lot of red flags,” said Andrew Poreda, a senior analyst who specializes in socially responsible investing at Sage Advisory Services, an investment firm in Austin, Texas. “There are almost no checks and balances.”
Even longtime Tesla optimists are having doubts. Daniel Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, has been one of the most steadfast believers in Tesla on Wall Street. But on Thursday, Wedbush lowered its target price for Tesla — the firm’s estimate of the shares’ fair market value based on future earnings — to $1,000 from $1,400. Mr. Ives cited Tesla’s problems in China, where lockdowns have throttled the supply of crucial parts and materials and demand for cars.

The Democratic Party and Kamala Harris are ranked the most UNPOPULAR out of nine political figures and institutions including Trump, Biden, DeSantis, Disney the Supreme Court and the Republican Party, new poll shows
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10821961/Dems-Kamala-ranked-UNPOPULAR-Trump-Biden-DeSantis-Disney-SCOTUS-GOP.html
The Democratic Party and Vice President Kamala Harris are less popular and viewed more unfavorably than the Republican Party, former President Donald Trump and even Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

A new NBC News poll published Monday shows that when Americans were asked their feelings towards entities and individuals, the Democratic Party ranked lowest among nine different prompts.

The Party clocked in with a net minus 19 percent favorability – 31 percent positive views from Americans and 50 percent negative.

With a net minus 11 percent, the Republican Party came in as more popular overall than Democrats, the vice president, President Joe Biden and Trump as the GOP prepares for a predicted bloodbath in the 2022 midterms to take back a majority in Congress.

Positive net favorability in the survey taken May 5-10 was earned by the United States Supreme Court with 1 percent net positive approval, Republican Governor DeSantis with 2 percent net approval and The Walt Disney Company with 3 percent net positive approval.
The Supreme Court's standing is surprising after the recent leaked draft opinion that shows an impending overturn of Roe v. Wade and has launched the nation into a heated pro versus anti-abortion debate.
Of the respondents in the Monday poll, 31 percent say they have a favorable or somewhat favorable view of Harris while 48 percent say they do not view her favorably. This means that Americans have a net minus 17 percent view of the vice president – ranking just two points below the Democratic Party.

President Biden has 37 percent positive and 51 percent negative for a net minus 14 percent viewership from the public

The far-left extremist masks continue to drop as Senior Twitter Engineer expresses concerns over "capitalist" Elon Musk purchasing the unprofitable company because it puts the jobs of "very socialist", "commie as f*ck" employees at stake.

Traditional Communist past times include taking political prisoners, forced labor, indoctrination through education, censorship, State worship, and famine. But Siru Murugesan enjoys the role of passively enforcing his ideology, because "Essentially like everyone gets to do whatever they want, no one really cares about like [operating expenses], like capitalists, they care about numbers or care about how to make the business more efficient.

Hillary Clinton agreed to let campaign officials run to the media with a fake story regarding Trump-Russia collusion after the FBI could not find evidence to back it up. As is common with the fake corporate press, they did not vet, research, nor fact check, and manufactured a narrative that led to the Russiagate lie that a fringe group of boomers still perpetuate today.

“Going to the FBI does not seem like a very effective way to get information out to the public,” Mr. Mook said. “You do that through the media, which is why the information was shared with the media.”

Within weeks, the FBI determined that the evidence didn’t support the allegations of a secret communications channel. Special counsel prosecutor Andrew DeFilippis pressed Mr. Mook on whether the campaign had vetted the allegations before sharing them with the media. “We didn’t have any subject-matter expertise with which to judge what we were briefed on,” Mr. Mook said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A San Francisco judge tossed out former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit challenging his permanent ban from Twitter.

U.S. District Judge James Donato said Friday that Trump failed to show Twitter violated his First Amendment right to free speech. Free speech rights don’t apply to private companies and Trump failed to show Twitter was working as a state actor on behalf of Democrats, the judge wrote.

“The amended complaint merely offers a grab-bag of allegations to the effect that some Democratic members of Congress wanted Mr. Trump, and ‘the views he espoused,’ to be banned from Twitter because such ‘content and views’ were ‘contrary to those legislators’ preferred points of view,’” Donato wrote. “But the comments of a handful of elected officials are a far cry from a ‘rule of decision for which the State is responsible.’ Legislators are perfectly free to express opinions without being deemed the official voice of ‘the State.’”

Trump sued Twitter, Facebook and Google’s YouTube in July 2021, claiming they illegally censored him.

The platforms suspended Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, in which his followers violently stormed the Capitol building in an attempt to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s presidential win. The companies cited concerns he would incite further violence.

The ruling comes as Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, is in the process of purchasing Twitter for $44 billion. The deal has raised questions about whether, Musk, a self-described free speech absolutist, would reinstate the former president.

Trump, who has continued to repeat lies about his 2020 election defeat in speeches, has started his own social network, Truth Social. He said last week that he wouldn’t rejoin Twitter if given the chance.

Democrats attempt to gerrymander so much in NY that a judge had to block it

Judge Approves N.Y. House Map, Cementing Chaos for Democrats
The new district lines, approved late Friday night, will create pickup opportunities for Republicans and force Democratic incumbents to run against each other.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/21/nyregion/redistrict-map-nadler-maloney.html
A state court formally approved New York’s new congressional map late Friday, ratifying a slate of House districts drawn by a neutral expert that could pave the way for Democratic losses this fall and force some of the party’s most prominent incumbents to face off in primary matches.

The map, approved just before a midnight deadline set by Justice Patrick F. McAllister of State Supreme Court in Steuben County, effectively unwinds an attempted Democratic gerrymander, creates a raft of new swing seats across the state, and scrambles some carefully laid lines that have long determined centers of power in New York City.

Jonathan R. Cervas, the court-appointed mapmaker, made relatively minor changes to a draft proposal released earlier this week whose sweeping changes briefly united both Republicans and Democrats in exasperation and turned Democrats against each other.

In Manhattan, the final map would still merge the seats of Representatives Carolyn Maloney and Jerrold Nadler, setting the two Democratic committee leaders, who have served alongside each other for 30 years, onto an increasingly inevitable collision course.
