Friends, I am happy to share some exciting news with you. I have partnered with Odgovor.ba to produce a new English-language international affairs podcast with a Balkan accent. It's called Balkanomnicon and the first mini-episode drop will drop this week. Stay tuned!
Mike Flynn, a registered lobbyist of the Kremlin-backed Serb secessionist regime of Milorad Dodik in Bosnia, wines and dines with Dodik’s son, Igor. Dodik has attempted to reinvent himself as a “MAGA loyalist” in recent months, after three decades of anti-American militancy.
Is RFK jr an extreme "never nude" or something?
• Source: The Atlantic • Article Title: Marco Rubio's Impressive Speech • Author: Eliot A. Cohen • Content: The secretary of state sought not only to reassure but to rally Europeans.
The Atlantic continues to cover itself in glory. This guy is treated as an elder statesman for a career that peaked with—drumroll—being one of the earliest and loudest proponents for invading Iraq after 9/11. I suppose it's good he's now a fan of white nationalism, that means it too will fail.
This seems not good.
Is the regional/provincial allocation of SCC justices a convention or is it constitutionally outlined?
Apparently the Federal Court of Appeal decision on the invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the 'Freedom Convoy' will come down on Friday.
Here was my reaction to the Federal Court decision: emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/a-dubious-...
Hope everything is ok.
Hey @evansolomon.bsky.social . Perhaps you want to rethink the govt position about X. At the very least, officials shouldn't be on this platform
Same
Yeah likely. I do think it was out and likely the right call but the standard should be that a call is overturned when it's conclusive.
Agreed. Call on the ice should stand unless it's conclusive and none of those views were conclusive.
The indictment against Maduro is about cocaine. If we had an honest White House Press Corps, every press interview Trump did would start with why he pardoned a narco terrorist president who imported 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.
ICYMI: The deposition transcript of Former Special Counsel, Jack Smith, has been released by the House Judiciary Committee.
(I’ll share my thoughts and observations after I’ve had the chance to review it.)

Merry Christmas Liz, to you and your OH!
"Serbia’s prosecutor for organized crime on Monday charged a government minister and three others with abuse of office and falsifying of documents to help pave the way for a real estate project linked to Jared Kushner". apnews.com/article/serb...
Perhaps time for E.U. to convince some states to secede?
I genuinely find that comforting then.
And who's to say the Dems won't adopt some of the elements in that document?
Thinking of you cuz.
Good grief... That's the second article in 12 hours about 'woke museums' from the National Post. Unoriginal and uninteresting pearl clutching from Robson and Hopper.
“The Croatian government’s normalization of the neo-Nazi far-right is intrinsically linked to its undermining of democracy in post-war Bosnia, a country facing secession threats by a Bosnian Serb leader”.

Not to mention the 200mil he wants to drop on 'traffic calming measures'... Yeah, cuz the painted Max 40 on the road really works well. Asinine reasoning from this Premiere.
Who is he pandering too? The angry road rage cohort? That's my demographic and I'm saying this is a win win.
Ford again fails us.
"Speed Camera's don't work"
Yes they do, you ass clown. Dougie has provided no data but his ignorant opinion. All the while there are studies showing they do work.
I really don't get Doug Ford's cancellation of traffic cameras.
"It's a money grab by the municipalities" Yeah, sure, and I'm ok with that given the province doesn't properly fund cities and they need the funds! Plus you can avoid paying by going the speed limit!
