Poland is considering calling on NATO to invoke Article 4 after a “Russian-made missile” hit a village inside its territory near the Ukrainian border on Tuesday, killing two Polish citizens. “A moment ago we decided to verify whether there are grounds to launch procedures under Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty,” government spokesman Piotr Muller told reporters on Wednesday. Poland is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Article 4 allows NATO members to call a meeting to discuss any issue of concern, particularly if that issue is related to the security of a member country within the North Atlantic Council. Specifically, Article 4 of the NATO charter states that…

The Nevada Supreme Court on Nov. 14 turned down a request to halt hand counting of ballots in a rural county. The hand count, which is taking place after all ballots cast in the midterms were tabulated with machines, is essentially a recount or an audit, neither of which are allowed under state law, the Brennan Center for Justice and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said in an emergency motion on Monday. “Unless enjoined by this Court, this hand count will set a dangerous precedent for future elections by encouraging local officials to make up and implement their own vote counting processes that violate…

SpaceX has bought an advertising package on Twitter for its satellite internet service Starlink, said Elon Musk, who owns the rocket company and the social media platform. “SpaceX Starlink bought a tiny—not large—ad package to test effectiveness of Twitter advertising in Australia & Spain. Did same for FB/Insta/Google,” Musk wrote on Twitter on Monday. Twitter, which generated more than 90 percent of its second-quarter revenue from ad sales, has seen advertisers suspending Twitter spending due to concerns that Musk would change the company’s content moderation rules.

Tennis star Novak Djokovic will be given a visa by the Australian government, allowing him to play the 2023 Australian Open. Guardian Australia understands the immigration minister, Andrew Giles, will give Djokovic a visa, overturning a three-year ban that accompanied the decision by the previous government to cancel his visa on the eve of the 2022 open. In January 2022 the then Coalition government revoked Djokovic’s visa on the grounds a recent Covid diagnosis did not justify an exemption to Australia’s requirement for visitors to be vaccinated. Although Djokovic won a temporary reprieve in the federal circuit court, the then immigration minister, Alex…

The anti-lockdown governors’ wide victories contrasted sharply with their closer wins in 2018, when the same five candidates prevailed by an average margin of 3.7 percentage points. Florida Among them, DeSantis…

Many of the mainstream media outlets that are currently defending the slow counting of votes in Nevada and Arizona following November’s midterm elections, had criticized the very same thing in coverage of the 2020 Democratic Iowa caucuses, according to media watchdog NewsBusters. NewsBusters, a project of the Media Research Center, works to expose and combat liberal media bias, according to its website. The watchdog compiled a video montage of reporters from outlets such as MSNBC, CNN, ABC News, and CBS News in which they repeatedly state that the lengthy vote-counting process in Arizona this month is “normal,” “ordinary,” and “part of the process.” Arizona has taken days to count its votes for the governor…

The net worth of the founder of the crypto exchange FTX and Democrat megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried plummeted last week in what on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index was its biggest single-day wealth plunge for a billionaire. FTX filed for bankruptcy protection on Nov. 11 after facing a massive liquidity crunch, in which users rushed to pull out their money.

Just days prior to the FTX meltdown, Bankman-Fried was estimated to have had a…
