No, I agree, not the same with college admissions but relevant to the post I was replying to.

You're assuming a person hired for a job will be the only one out of a group of interviewees who was the best qualified at all times. In reality that's not the case, often when recruiting for a post you come by 2 or 3 people who are all suitably qualified regardless of race/colour. The decision then is which one? If you are recruiting in a low diversity area or organization then it could be said that taking affirmative action in that case is more than justified.

They must be on the growing list of VIP Wagner members, 30 of them identified so far Russian Gen. Sergey Surovikin was secret VIP member of Wagner, documents show Documents shared exclusively with CNN suggest that Russian Gen. Sergey Surovikin was a secret VIP member of the Wagner private military company. The documents, obtained by the Russian investigative Dossier Center, showed that Surovikin had a personal registration number with Wagner. Surovikin is listed along with at least 30 other senior Russian military and intelligence officials, who the Dossier Center said are also VIP Wagner members. https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-06-29-23/h_f3cb66107686a173d74307a8cb8775b8

Some good news for Ukraine following that so called Russian mutiny: The loss of this aircraft is likely to have a negative impact on Russian air and land operations. In the short term the psychological shock of losing a large number of aircrew in this manner will almost certainly damage morale within the Russian Aerospace Force. In the longer term, there is a possibility that current tasking levels may have to be reduced to safely manage the remaining fleet. This will likely undermine Russia's ability to command and coordinate its forces, particularly during periods of high tempo operations. https://twitter.com/DefenceHQ/status/1674296770250113026

The United States has had the highest economic growth in the G7 since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with its economy 5.4 percent larger in the first quarter of 2023, when compared with the fourth quarter of 2019 https://www.statista.com/statistics/1392678/g7-gdp-growth-since-covid-19-pandemic/

Lighten up, its ok, I'm sure Jesse didn't mean it.............lol

No he's just the one making fun of the president, then gaff's himself. As I said, the irony.

Oh the irony with Fox. While making fun of Biden's gaff they do the exact same thing:

Not sure its so easy to claim they are the most most transparent administration in American history but Biden's administration is certainly more transparent than the previous one where Trump made White House visitor logs secret breaking with Obama's initiative to make them public when he was in office.

Fox News (LOL) are suggesting Trump leaked the audio himself............ Fox News host suggests Trump may have leaked audio in classified documents case Fox News host Steve Doocy suggested former President Trump may have been behind the leak of an audio recording showing Trump talking about his handling of classified documents. “You know what? If Trump thinks it’s an exoneration of him, perhaps somebody on his side actually did the leaking to CNN and Maggie Haberman,” Doocy said Tuesday morning. “That makes sense,” co-host Brian Kilmeade chimed in. https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4069757-fox-news-host-suggests-trump-may-have-leaked-audio-in-classified-documents-case/

I'm starting to think that nobody actually knows, which is quite possible considering the number of lies told regarding this subject But you said yourself you can't be bothered even when given the links that give the answers from people who do know.

I wouldn't mind betting that the people Trump was talking to in this audio are part of the 80 odd included in the prosecution witness list.

My first link supplied to you contained the sub link to the complete WHO list of variants but as you say, if you're too lazy to research it then there's nothing more to be said, don't forget the sub lineages of each major variant in your quest to tot it all up.

Indeed, here's a few examples: Since the committee began hosting prime-time hearings in June, the nonprofit Advance Democracy has identified a tide of vitriol targeting key witnesses and prominent Jan. 6 committee lawmakers on online forums with reputations for fostering extremism and right-wing views.

The US had intelligence on this beforehand but were were careful not to pass it on for that precise reason. U.S. Suspected Prigozhin Was Preparing to Take Military Action Against Russia U.S. spy agencies had indications days earlier that Mr. Prigozhin was planning something and worked to refine that material into a finished assessment, officials said. The information shows that the United States was aware of impending events in Russia, similar to how intelligence agencies had warned in late 2021 that Vladimir V. Putin was planning to invade Ukraine. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/24/world/europe/us-intel-prigozhin-warning.html https://archive.ph/w42v5

This is about Ukraine not Wagner troops in other countries.

US estimates are 80% of those that were in Ukraine: About 80% of Wagner's troops in Ukraine have been drawn from prisons, the US National Security Council said at the start of this year. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-60947877

I thought the majority were from Russian prisons. That's where he was recruiting the bulk of them until it got stopped.

Putin makes a brief speech, now also confirming the deaths of some Russian pilots: "Putin said some Russian pilots had died in the fighting. Prigozhin previously said 30 Wagner fighters had been killed." "Prigozhin said the Wagner Group did not attack any Russian soldiers "on the ground" but acknowledged that they fired back on military forces that had allegedly attacked Wagner fighters from the air." https://www.npr.org/2023/06/26/1184390064/putin-speech-prigozhin-wagner-group-deal
