Zelenskyy has cancelled elections in the Ukraine next year.

"Now is not the time for elections," Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday, trying to put to rest a growing debate amid Russia's grinding invasion.

"Now is the time for defence, for battle, on which the fate of the state and people depends, and not for farce, which only Russia expects from Ukraine," Zelenskyy said in a speech. "I think this is not the time for elections.

"We must come together, not divide ourselves, not disperse ourselves in quarrels or other priorities," he added.

The Bee:

No wonder the Democrats like him so much. The Democrats are using their political power to jail their political enemies, again, to save Democracy. Just like Zelenskyy.

Passionate hammers, I should say.

Climate activists took hammers to a famous painting in London on Monday while calling for the U.K. to stop new oil and gas projects in the country.

Just Stop Oil attacked Diego Velázquez's 17th-century painting "Rokeby Venus" with "safety hammers" on Monday as tourists viewed the artwork hanging in the National Gallery.

The pair of protesters, identified in the Just Stop Oil press release as Harrison Donnelly, 20, and Hanan, 22, took the hammers to the glass before shouting at museum patrons claims that millions will die due to new oil and gas leases.

"Women did not get the vote by voting; it is time for deeds not words. It is time to Just Stop Oil," said Hanan, who was not identified by her full name by the organization.

...

The protesters then sat down in front of the rope they crossed to take hammers to a multimillion-dollar painting.

"Rokeby Venus" was slashed over a century ago by suffragettes in the push for women's voting rights. It is worth an estimated 72.5 million.

A spokesperson for the National Gallery told Fox News Digital the pair who smashed the painting were arrested. They have been reportedly charged on suspicion of criminal damage.

Speaking of terrorists, more video has been released of the pro-Hamas savages in Ventura County. You know, the incident in which one elderly Jewish man died after a megaphone struck him in the head (without any human involvement, apparently).

They chanted "Hitler didn't want you, Hitler should've smashed you." Uh, he did. I guess these Dark Age Savage Animals are denying that.

One also flashed a gun he had tucked into his waistband, fentanyl-dealer-style. Don't worry, he won't be arrested in gun-grabby California. The criminals are allowed to walk around strapped in California. Only the law-abiding citizens are forbidden from doing so.

The animal who's so stupid he thinks that pulling a fire alarm opens a door -- according to his claims, at least -- has some Next-Level thoughts about the economy 'n shit.

According to a recent Gallup poll, the GOP has achieved its highest standing on the economy in over 30 years. Fifty-three percent of Americans have more trust in Republicans, and only 39% of Americans trust Democrats more, giving the GOP a 14-point advantage on this ever-so-important issue.

...

During a recent appearance on MSNBC, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), a member of the so-called "Squad," conceded that Americans are hurting in this economy but insisted it's the Republicans' fault.

"To your point of economy, that's a big point because no matter how much we're seeing the job growth and all of that, people are still struggling with affordability and that's an issue we need to hold the Republican Party accountable for."

Hey Jamaal, Mensa just called, they want their....

I'm just kidding. Mensa isn't calling you, stupid.

Jeff Bezos announces he's leaving Seattle and moving his offices to... Miami.

Seattle has been my home since 1994 when I started Amazon out of my garage. That's my dad behind the camera in this video, touring Amazon's first "office." My parents have always been my biggest supporters. They recently moved back to Miami, the place we lived when I was younger (Miami Palmetto High class of '82 -- GO Panthers!) I want to be close to my parents, and Lauren and I love Miami. Also, Blue Origin's operations are increasingly shifting to Cape Canaveral. For all that, I'm planning to return to Miami, leaving the Pacific Northwest.

I've lived in Seattle longer than I've lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here. As exciting as the move is, it's an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart.

Obama: I wracked my brain to try to figure out who is responsible for Hamas' slaughter of women and children. I can't figure out to blame. Why, I even considered the possibility that I might have some responsibility for Hamas's crimes, but that can't be it, can it?

I've decided that "we're all complicit" in Hamas's crimes.

Except Hamas, of course.

In 1953, the Swiss novelist Max Frisch published a play called The Arsonists. It's a pitch dark comedy about a small town ravaged by a group of maniacs disguised as traveling salesmen, who sweet-talk their way into people's homes and then set them on fire. Its protagonist is a dolt called Biedermann--bieder being German for honest, respectable, and upright. He's aware of the danger, and yet, when the arsonists knock, he lets them in. The tragedy, Frisch argues, is that he almost has no other choice: The arsonists are such smooth talkers that it's easy, when listening to them, to ignore the large drums of kerosene and the matches they're holding in their hands.

I thought of The Arsonists this week when I heard snippets of a podcast interview featuring former president Barack Obama on the Middle East. "Nobody's hands are clean," Obama said. "All of us are complicit."

Nah, man. Not all of us are complicit. It's just you.

Well I would say that it's 90% Hamas, and 10% Hamas's and Iran's patron, Barack Hussein Obama.

An Israeli comedy sketch show makes fun of western progressives who support Hamas:

It's no worse than Saturday Night Live!
