Putin is doing exactly what the Nazi's did when they invaded Russia. Scorched Earth Policy. But then you have to ask yourself, 'If I destroy everything, what will I gain from the conquered land?' Or at least I would be asking that.

FEAR, you can get the people to submit when they have nothing, then give them jobs to rebuild (slave labor), just a guess...

Time to bring back the modern day version of the Pinkertons! You loot, we F******G SHOOT!

Possible. It could very well be Russian Ego (Putin) as well. Or 'e', all of the above!

I think Putin is also trying to increase his population a little. He's well aware of the constant decline of people under his thumb. The engineering community in Russia is getting very old, average age in the 50's, and that has to be very worrisome to anyone.

APRIL 22, 2022
Good News Friday


Dear Patriots,

We know that you often feel helpless and hopeless when confronted with the shocking socialist direction that everything in the USA seems to be taking.

Do not doubt your power.

This week we have seen the results when sensible people say, "Enough is enough"!

We did not riot or burn anything, we just quietly stopped paying for far left-wing propaganda. We have moved our attention and money to independent journalism, which, unlike the Fake News, is growing.

You are making a difference.

1- Normal, thoughtful people do not like the content Disney offers. There are a lot of excuses to tout about why Disney is tanking but, at the core, it is content, content, content. Disney is the worst performing stock in the Dow Jones for the past year, plummeting 31 percent in the last 12 months.

Report: Consumers Abandoning Disney Streaming Service to Save Money Amid Soaring Inflation

QUOTE: Consumers have been shedding streaming services to save money amid soaring inflation but Disney is losing U.K. consumers at a faster rate than Netflix and Amazon's Prime Video, according to a new report.

Streaming service customers in the United Kingdom canceled about 1.5 million subscriptions in the first three months of 2022 — up by around 500,000 from the previous quarter — with more than a third doing so to save money, according to a report by the data analytics company Kantar.

Moreover, inflation has been surging in the U.K., hitting a 30-year high of 7 percent last month.

"Households are starting to seriously prioritize where and how their disposable income is spent," the Kantar report said. "The proportion of consumers planning to cancel [subscription video on demand] services and stating the primary reason as 'wanting to save money' has risen to its highest ever level at 38%, up from 29% in Q4 '21."

But among the streaming services getting hit with cancelations, Disney has been hit the hardest, as viewers are dropping the company's streaming service at a much faster rate than Netflix and Amazon.
Meanwhile, shares of Disney (DIS) have dropped nearly 15 percent so far in 2022, making Disney one of the worst performers in the Dow, according to a report by CNN Business.

The news comes after the Disney brand has taken a huge hit among American parents, with a majority of independents saying they "no longer trust" the company's programming for their children in the wake of Disney pursing an aggressive LGBTQIA2S+ agenda.

2- Consumers of news do not trust this company and will not pay to watch it.

Newsmax

Warner Bros Shutting Down CNN+

QUOTE: CNN is shutting down its CNN+ streaming service less than a month after its launch, a spectacular flameout for a venture that had attracted stars like Chris Wallace and Alison Roman and was seen as a way to attract a new generation of news consumers.

It had started March 29, shortly before CNN was taken over by new corporate parents. The new leaders of Warner Bros. Discovery quickly let it be known they considered CNN+ an ill-conceived idea.

The subscription-based service will be shut down at the end of April. Executives said some CNN+ programming and employees will be absorbed into the television network and website but there will be layoffs. The head of CNN+, Andrew Morse, is leaving the company.

3- When this company gave over editorial control to the Obamas and their woke friends, people canceled. Do you think they hear you yet?

Hedge Fund Billionaire Bill Ackman Dumps Netflix Stock: We've Lost Confidence to Predict Company's Future Prospects

QUOTE: In a resounding sign of no confidence, hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman has dumped the 3.1 million shares of Netflix that his fund purchased just three months ago, saying he has lost confidence in the ability to predict the streamer's future prospects.

Ackman's sell-off comes after Netflix shares tanked close to 40 percent on Wednesday following disastrous first-quarter results that included a loss of 200,000 subscribers and a predicted loss of 2 million more in the months ahead."While Netflix's business is fundamentally simple to understand, in light of recent events, we have lost confidence in our ability to predict the company's future prospects with a sufficient degree of certainty," he wrote in a letter to investors obtained by multiple news outlets.

4- If you live in a state with a Republican Governor or legislature, urge them to act like Florida has in slapping back against woke businesses.

The Florida Senate and House passed DeSantis' congressional map that creates four new GOP-leaning districts which wipes out Democrat gains in redistricting in NY, IL, and CA. Florida also removed Disney's self-governing power and special tax exempt status.

Gov. DeSantis Is Right To Attack Disney. Republicans Everywhere Should Follow His Lead

QUOTE: Woke corporations that wage war on families and target children should expect to be targeted in turn by GOP lawmakers.

News broke Wednesday the Florida Senate had passed a bill to dismantle Walt Disney World's half-century-old "independent special district" status, an arrangement whereby Disney has been allowed, since 1968, essentially to govern itself. Gov. Ron DeSantis says Disney's self-governing status should be subject to review, to ensure that it is still "appropriately serving the public interest."

Good. Disney is reaping its just reward for inserting itself into the political debate about Florida's parental rights bill, which Disney lost in spectacular fashion. Republican governors and lawmakers across the country should be taking notes.

This is how you deal with big corporations that try to throw around their weight and force woke policies on voters and families. You punish them, not just because they deserve it, but also, as Voltaire famously put it, pour encourager les autres (as an example to others).

For many years now, only one side in this war has been crying "no quarter" before every battle. The other side has pretended not to believe it and surrendered time and again, with predictable results.

Finally, DeSantis and Florida Republicans have taken the enemy at their word, and responded in kind. Republicans everywhere should go and do likewise.

5- This is exactly how Republican lead states should be responding to the illegitimate Biden regime.

26 Governors Create Border Strike Force 'In the Absence of Federal Leadership'

QUOTE: Twenty-six U.S. governors, all Republican, announced the creation of a Border Strike Force to "disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal organizations" on April 19.

The group of governors signed a memorandum of understanding, pledging to work together to "serve as a force multiplier to target cartels and criminal networks financially and operationally."

"Together, governors will improve public safety, protect victims from horrific crimes, reduce the amount of drugs in our communities, and alleviate the humanitarian crisis at the Southern Border," the agreement states.

The group includes two border states—Arizona and Texas—as well as 24 others: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

"In the absence of federal leadership, states are partnering together to create the American Governors' Border Strike Force to disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal organizations by increasing collaboration, improving intelligence, investing in analysis, combating human smuggling, and stopping drug flow in our states," the agreement states.

6- Missouri Republicans trying to help employees forced to get the jab.

Workers could sue over vaccine mandates under Missouri bill

QUOTE: Workers required to get vaccinated by their employers could sue if they have negative reactions under a Missouri bill.

The GOP-led House gave the vaccine liability bill initial approval Wednesday. The measure was introduced in response to COVID-19 vaccination requirements.

Under the measure, employers who make their workers get a vaccine could be held liable if workers experience negative side effects.

Proponents argued that bosses should be held accountable for medical complications if they make employees get vaccinated.Critics argued that private business owners should be allowed to decide whether to mandate vaccinations without the threat of lawsuits.

7- It is always good news when more kids are being educated outside of public schools, especially good for black children.

Homeschooling Rate Remains High, Despite School Reopenings

QUOTE: I spoke this week with a mother who pulled her children out of school in 2020 to give homeschooling a try. Through remote learning, she saw, for the first time, what her children were actually learning and doing in school and realized that the amount of academic time was quite small. She had always been curious about homeschooling but felt intimidated. When she caught a glimpse of her children's classroom learning, she realized that she could easily match, if not exceed, the school's academic expectations while providing greater overall freedom for her children's learning and development.

When her children's school reopened for full-time, in-person learning, this mom decided to continue homeschooling. Now, she is even happier with her decision, especially as homeschool classes and activities resume their pre-pandemic vibrancy.

New data analyzed this week by the Associated Press confirm that this mother's experience is a common one. Homeschooling rates surged during the 2020/2021 academic year to more than 11 percent of the overall U.S. K-12 population, but many education observers expected that most of those families would return to school once classrooms reopened for in-person learning. That hasn't happened.

"Homeschooling numbers this year dipped from last year's all-time high, but are still significantly above pre-pandemic levels," the Associated Press reported. It evaluated data from 18 states and found that while homeschooling numbers rose 63 percent in the 2020/2021 academic year, they only dropped by 17 percent this school year, remaining significantly elevated.

The largest demographic driver of the homeschooling surge in 2020/2021 were black families who unenrolled their children from school for independent homeschooling.

8- There is so much good news coming out of Florida that this story is not getting much attention. But, it is a very big move for the reform of education at the university level. This is policy all state elected Republican should be considering.

Bradenton Herald

Review of tenured faculty, accreditation policy change signed into law by DeSantis

QUOTE: Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed a bill that makes it harder for faculty at state universities to retain tenure, framing the legislation as another way that he and the Legislature are working to prevent educators from bringing their political views into the classroom.

In a wide-ranging news conference at The Villages that took swings at Twitter and alleged that textbook publishers were peddling hidden agendas, DeSantis criticized what he called "lifetime appointments" for university professors.

"We need to make sure the faculty are held accountable and make sure they don't just have tenure forever without having any type of ways to hold them accountable or evaluate what they're doing," DeSantis said. "It's all about trying to make these institutions more in line with what the state's priorities are, and frankly the priorities of the parents throughout the state of Florida."

If you have not already cancelled Netflix and Disney Plus, do so this weekend.

Clinton Campaign Affiliates Are Trying to Bury Michael Sussmann | Kash’s Corner

Premieres Apr 22, 2022

“[Durham] now has Clinton world burying Michael #Sussmann, the defendant in this case.”

Clinton campaign affiliates are throwing former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann under the bus, says Kash Patel. And in a last-ditch effort to protect themselves, they are trying to hide evidence behind attorney-client privilege, he argues.

Kash and Jan break down Special Counsel John #Durham ’s latest filing and the significance of the flurry of responses from Clinton campaign affiliates, including former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, campaign manager Robby Mook, campaign lawyer Marc Elias, opposition research firm Fusion GPS, and tech executive Rodney Joffe.

According to Durham’s filing, the CIA knew in early 2017 that the Alfa Bank allegations tying Trump to #Russia were likely false. At the same time, the FBI intentionally avoided coming to conclusions on the veracity of these allegations, #Kash argues.

We discuss all this and more in this episode of Kash’s Corner.
