Join the fight and contribute to our war chest Ditch the ads for $5 per month or $49 per year Justice Sotomayor is not the brightest bulb in the box, so when she thought she had Team Trump by the you-know-what with her “fraudulent elector” theory, she must’ve felt pretty proud of herself. However, her victory was short-lived because Team Trump flipped the script on her and turned her talking points into ash during the back-and-forth over President Trump’s claim that he has “presidential immunity.”Sotomayor found herself left holding her crumpled bag of useless talking points once Trump’s lawyers were...

President Alexander Lukashenko said on Friday that Russia, which has already decided to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, could if necessary put intercontinental nuclear missiles there too. In an annual address to lawmakers and government officials, Lukashenko said Moscow's plans to station nuclear arms on the territory of its close ally would help protect Belarus, which he said was under threat from the West. (snip) "I am not trying to intimidate or blackmail anyone. I want to safeguard the Belarusian state and ensure peace for the Belarusian people," Lukashenko said. Although Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that...

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday attended an Orthodox Church Christmas service by himself inside a Kremlin cathedral rather than joining other worshippers in a public celebration.

Many Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on Jan. 6-7. Putin, wearing a blue jacket and a high-necked white sweater, was...

Col Douglas Macgregor - the build up for a Russian offensive in NovemberCol. Douglas Macgregor: "Keep in mind, these reservists are going into groups of Russian forces that are collecting in the south and on the borders in western part of Russia and Belorussia. These forces are going to be quite large by the time they amass. They won't be used in mass in a concentrated fashion until November. What you're seeing happen right now after all of these massive counterattacks launched by the Ukrainians that achieved, frankly, nothing from a strategic standpoint at all. They have taker such horrendous...

Sapp, who played for the Raiders in the mid-2000s, was interviewed on VLAD TV last week and claimed he heard Kaepernick’s workout was a disaster.“I heard it was a disaster. I heard it was one of the workouts ever. I’m wondering how the hell this happened, and the tape didn’t get out, right?” The Raiders opted not to sign Kaepernick, and it’s unclear if the team is willing to bring him back for another workout before the start of the preseason.

A man was arrested in Belgium on Sunday after attempting to get his ninth COVID-19 vaccine on behalf of others, according to local media reports. The unnamed 33-year-old was arrested in Fosses-la-Ville, near Namur, after staff at the vaccination center notified officials, The Brussels Times reported. He was allegedly being paid 100 to 150 euros ($113 to $169) by individuals who did not want to be vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus and arrived at the centers with their identity cards in order to get a Covid Safe Ticket (CST) without being vaccinated themselves.

Biden unleashed.

No one’s freedom provides the right to endanger others. That is the point of the adage that my right to swing my fist ends at another person’s nose. The government always has the power to impose restrictions on behavior to protect other people from harm, including to stop the spread of a communicable disease. Yet these basic principles are forgotten by those who opposed a mask mandate and who now are trying to prohibit vaccine passports. Indeed, the government can and should require that everyone be vaccinated against COVID. There is no constitutional right to refuse to wear a mask...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has backed Democrats’ effort to pack the Supreme Court by adding four new seats that would be filled by President Joe Biden, arguing the courts should not be allowed to overturn laws passed by Congress. The Washington Times reported: “I do think we should be expanding the court,” she told reporters. The New York Democrat, part of the progressive “Squad” collective on Capitol Hill, reasoned the justices overturning laws is part of the problem with the 6-3 conservative majority. “The idea that nine people, that a nine-person court, can overturn laws that … hundreds and thousands...

Some of your colleagues have said he should be acquitted in the Senate trial on Tuesday. Are you going to vote to hold him accountable?”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has insisted people should continue to adhere to stringent public health measures even after getting vaccinated, said the Chinese coronavirus will remain a threat, which is why officials need to ultimately get the “entire world vaccinated.” Speaking to NPR’s Fresh Air, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director emphasized that getting the majority of the population vaccinated remains a key objective in the battle against the virus. At the same time, officials must “double down on the public health measures of uniform wearing of masks, physical distancing, avoiding congregate settings — particularly indoors.” ut...
