Weak leaders lead to war...Putin just spoke with Biden and this is the result -  an official letter of warning to the UN.


"The military activity of the United States and NATO member states along the perimeter of Russia’s border, including flights by combat aircraft and dangerous maneuvers by naval ships, continues to spiral upwards. The US military and its NATO allies have switched from attempts to test the system of our border protection to provocations against civilian aircraft, jeopardizing airspace safety and human lives. In connection with these provocative actions, the US embassy in Moscow was handed a note of protest on Wednesday, which warns of the dangerous consequences of such recklessness," Zakharova said in a statement posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website.

Senate approves Rep. Clyburn's daughter to head federal commission

The senate narrowly confirmed President Biden's nomination of Rep. James Clyburn's, D-S.C., daughter to a federal commission aimed at easing economic hardship in the southeastern United States.

Biden nominated Jennifer Clyburn Reed in September to serve as the federal chairperson of the Southeast Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC). The SCRC is a previously inactive commission established in 2008 to address poverty in the southeastern region of the U.S. The nomination was approved Wednesday by voice vote.

"Jennifer Clyburn Reed has a long history of serving her community and would bring importance and expertise to this position. Reed has a background in public education and focus on equity issues and historically underrepresented populations," a White House official told Fox News before Clyburn was confirmed.

The official told Fox News it was the administration's "priority to nominate someone who lives in the Southeast Crescent Region and who will be a strong advocate for investing resources into impoverished communities."

While SCRC was founded under former President Obama, the commission was re-activated in the autumn of 2019. SCRC states that the region, sometimes called the U.S. Blackbelt, is "challenged with economic indicators that are in many cases parallel with those of an emerging nation."

Several Biden aides and advisers' children have secured positions within the administration. Daniel Ricchetti and Shannon Ricchetti are the son and daughter of Steve Ricchetti, a counselor to Biden. Daniel Ricchetti is a senior adviser in the office of the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, and Shannon Ricchetti is deputy associate director at the office of the White House social secretary.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki's sister, Stephanie Psaki, was appointed to a senior adviser role within the Department of Health and Human Services in March. Her official title is senior adviser on human rights and gender equity in the Office of Global Affairs.

Soul Crusher:
"Those who spoke to survivors said the migrants told of boarding the truck in Mexico, near the border with Guatemala, and of paying between $2,500 and $3,500 to be transported to Mexico’s central state of Puebla. Once there, they would presumably have contracted with another set of migrant smugglers to take them to the U.S. border."


Mexican authorities say at least 49 people dead, 58 injured after truck crash

A cargo truck jammed with people who appeared to be Central American migrants rolled over and crashed into a pedestrian bridge over on a highway in southern Mexico on Thursday, killing at least 49 people and injuring nearly five dozen others, authorities reported.

Luis Manuel Moreno, the head of the Chiapas state civil defense office, said a preliminary estimate listed 49 dead and 58 injured. He said about 21 of the injured had serious wounds and were taken to local hospitals.

The crash occurred on a highway leading toward the Chiapas state capital. Photos from the scene showed victims strewn across the pavement and inside the truck’s freight compartment.

Later, rescue workers arranged the dead in rows of white sheets, side by side, on the asphalt.

Moreno said that it appeared that speed and the weight of the truck’s human cargo may have caused it to tip over, and that as the vehicle toppled over it hit the base of a steel pedestrian bridge. There was a curve in the road near the accident scene that may have contributed to the crash.

That meant at least 107 people were crowed into the vehicle. It is not unusual for freight trucks in Mexico to be carrying so many people in migrant-smuggling operations in southern Mexico.

Rescue workers who first arrived at the scene and who were not authorized to be quoted by name said that even more migrants had been aboard the truck when it crashed and had fled for fear of being detained by immigration agents.
