Russia to Respond to Ukraine's Attacks on Oil Refineries, Logistics, Energy Facilities - Putin

(Zelensky has done this from the start. He never accepts any kind of easing of tensions preferring to jack up the violence against Russia in order to keep the conflict going at any cost. And why not? He's pocketing millions of dollars along the way making himself filthy rich while throwing Ukrainians into a meat grinder... all for the benefit of the Epstein class across the world.) 

from Sputnik News

Russia will respond to Ukraine's attacks on its oil refineries, logistics and energy facilities, there was no need for Ukraine to start them in the first place, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.

 

"Yesterday they tried to strike some oil refineries. Now they’ve hit a few places there. Nothing particularly significant, but they keep going. It is the same with e-commerce platforms - they have taken the first step, we have started responding now, and they are already weeping about energy, including military installations, data centers, and so on. They started, they should not have started in the first place," Putin said at the forum-congress of the all-Russian public organisation Business Russia. 

 

Ukraine is asking its sponsors to put pressure on Russia to stop retaliatory strikes in response to the steps it has taken, Putin added...

Defying Trump, Zelensky Says Ukraine Will Resume Russian Refinery Strikes

from the New York Times

President Volodymyr Zelensky’s anger at the Trump administration burst into view on Thursday when he said he would no longer abide by President Trump’s demand to stop striking Russian oil refineries.

It was a remarkably vocal expression by the Ukrainian leader of frustration with the United States, as Kyiv grapples with what it sees as a betrayal by Washington.

Mr. Zelensky’s remarks, in an interview with The Financial Times published on Thursday, brought to a head days of mounting tensions with the Trump administration. It drew expressions of support from European allies in Brussels, but could be a risky move for a country that has depended heavily on U.S. support.

In the interview, Mr. Zelensky appeared baffled by Mr. Trump’s decisions, criticizing Mr. Trump for making deals with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, and for openly admiring dictators who have clung to power. Mr. Putin, the Ukrainian leader said, is “real evil.”...

Elon Musk is top 2026 midterm donor with $366 mln in spending

(A junkie Nazi throwing around nearly half a billion dollars to keep an ignorant flatulent malignant narcissist pedophile in office so he can continue to tear the country apart... this is where we are today.)

from al Mayadeen English

Tech mogul Elon Musk has become the largest donor of the 2026 US midterm cycle, putting about $366 million into Republican groups and conservative causes, according to figures due in a federal filing on Thursday.

More than $276 million of that total has come since July, which makes it one of the fastest bursts of political spending in US history, The Guardian reported. The New York Times first published the numbers, which Musk’s representatives shared ahead of the filing deadline. The cycle total already exceeds the more than $290 million he spent in the 2024 election, according to OpenSecrets.

Musk’s biggest single contribution was $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, the super PAC working to keep Republican control of the Senate. No individual had given the group more in a single quarter, and the sum alone was larger than everything its Democratic counterpart raised over the same period, NYT reported...

MAGA: A 'Special' Kind of Brownshirt

by Scott Creighton

 

The other day at a Trump vanity rally in Ohio, after he danced his two-dick dance to a gay anthem, TrumpyBear came out to his dwindling crowd of sub-80s (IQ) and gave them what they came for: a large dose of 'you're special' and Two Minutes Hate.

 

In the crowd, seated, being yelled at and bullied by America's Finest Brownshirts, there sat a lone woman wearing a shirt that read 'Release the Epstein Files' (like he promised and like those same sub-80s voted for not that long ago)

Why the anger? Why the rage? Well that's up to the viewer to decide but it may have something to do with this:

COLA Lift for Social Security Not Enough, Say Critics, as Trump Economy Makes Life Harder for Seniors

from Common Dreams

The rising cost of healthcare and other essentials means that the modest cost-of-living adjustment for about 76 million Social Security beneficiaries, announced Wednesday by Social Security Administrator Frank Bisignano, is likely to make only a small difference for senior citizens struggling to afford gasoline and groceries, said economic justice advocates.

Bisignano said the COLA for 2027, effective in January for most beneficiaries, will be 3.6%, amounting to an average of about $75 more per month.

Along with senior citizens, 40% of whom rely on Social Security for at least half their income, about 7.3 million people with disabilities who receive Supplemental Security Income will also receive the COLA increase starting December 31.

The COLA is higher than last year’s, when the SSA adjusted monthly earned benefits by 2.8%.

But Richard Fiesta, executive director of the Alliance for Retired Americans, said the new increase “is just not enough to keep up with the cost of food, gas, utilities, and prescription drugs.”

“A good chunk” of increased Social Security payments “will be wiped out” by higher premiums for Medicare Part B, which covers medically necessary and preventive healthcare services, said Fiesta. Those premiums are projected to rise to $209.50 per month in January, up from $202.90 per month this year...

from Daily Sabah

The award-winning documentary examines Israel’s use of artificial intelligence and automated surveillance systems in targeted killings and military operations during its genocidal war in Gaza...
