More mercenaries connected to the Russian Wagner private military company arrived in Ukraine on Sunday with the objective of assassinating top Ukrainian military and political leadership, Ukraine's Intelligence Directorate claimed on Sunday. The directorate asserted that the main targets of the mercenaries included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Presidential Chief of Staff Andrii Yermak and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. Russian President Vladimir Putin "personally ordered another attack by one of his proxies," said the Directorate. "All previous attempts ended in the failure and elimination of terrorists. Zelensky was allegedly nearly assassinated three times in the week of March 4, according to...

A free speech demonstration staged by conservative activists quickly fell apart in downtown San Francisco on Saturday afternoon when several hundred counterprotesters surged the area, throwing punches. (oh, they did a helluva lot more than that) There is a 5 minute silent feed from the helicopter above after the news article and you can see how prepared they are.

Gayle King of CBS News found herself in the social media crosshairs after questioning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s use of the word “henchmen” to describe the president’s associates in an interview. The television journalist’s name was trending on Twitter early Saturday as folks slammed King, who called out Pelosi’s language as “egregious” and questioned whether the California Democrat’s words were “just as insulting as what [the president’s] saying about you.” “Dear Gayle King, Trump cronies are henchmen. They are prepared to engage in crime, dishonesty, violence, and debauchery to defend the pathological lying, racist, wannabe dictator in the White House....

Despite audio evidence of prohibited political activity by Obama Administration officials, White House Counsel Neil Eggleston rejected House Oversight and Government Reform Committee requests for testimony from David Simas, director of the White House Office of Political Strategy and Outreach. “Mr Simas and, in fact, everyone working for the President is absolutely immune from any demands Congress or the Judicial branch might seek to impose,” Eggleston contended. “To hold otherwise would undermine the President’s authority to rule this country.” “It would also be unfair to those attempting to carry out the President’s wishes if they were to be held answerable...

Huge rewards offered for Saddam and his henchmen Allied military chiefs are offering bounties for information leading to the capture of Saddam Hussein and his leading henchmen. Officials have refused to disclose the price on Saddam's head but anyone telling the coalition where he is will be able to claim a huge sum. US Brigadier General Vince Brooks said: "A rewards programme has been established for information leading to the capture of regime leaders." As the hunt for weapons of mass destruction remains fruitless, the coalition is also offering financial rewards to any Iraqi leading them to the "smoking gun"....

Latakia April 9, 2003 Jed Babbin NRO Contributor There is too much to report, and most of it will have to wait for the morning. But now, as I write this, many of the most senior of Saddam's henchmen are confirmed to be in Syria. The resort city of Latakia, with its beautiful beaches, now hosts them. And Syrian banks hold many millions that were looted from Iraq. Intelligence sources--the best of them--report that the Saddam regime's top people and their families are now in Syria. It may be the top five or the top ten, but the traffic into...

Treachery.... April 2, 2003: Want to get a really realistic perspective on why Coalition military forces are in Iraq, as well as the kind of sadistic psychopaths the peace movement are giving aid and comfort to? Then focus your memories back on last week's much-celebrated (by the media) tragedy when a supposed Iraqi ?suicide bomber? vented his rage at the unjust American invasion of his homeland and blew himself and his car up, killing four US marines. Ooops! Seems there's been a minor update to that story that Dan Rather and Peter Jennings have neglected to inform us about. Turns...
