Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska is warning of the world growing complacent as her country presses on in its fight against Russian invaders. Zelenska sat down for an interview with ABC News and said she was concerned global attention is turning away from Ukraine. “We see that sometimes people become reluctant,” Zelenska said. “People talk about ‘Ukraine fatigue.’ This is talk of our existence. We can’t stop fighting for ourselves.” “So my message is: Please don’t stop to help us fight,” she continued. Asked whether she feels the world’s focus is drifting elsewhere, Zelenska said, “I’m afraid of it, but...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Thursday that his country has developed a long-range weapon that can hit targets up to 400 miles away, signaling potential responsibility for a strike on a Russian airport near Estonia on Wednesday. The Wednesday strikes hit targets in four regions all over southern Russia, as well as Moscow and the airport in Pskov. Pskov is about 400 miles from the Ukrainian border.

There was no damage...

Russian forces unleashed missiles across Ukraine early on Tuesday, killing and wounding civilians and damaging infrastructure. The barrage came just hours before top Russian military officials and their counterparts from allied countries in Asia, the Middle East and Africa gathered outside Moscow for a security conference. Missiles struck cities from the east to west of Ukraine, including far behind front lines where Ukraine is fighting deeply entrenched Russian forces to regain territory occupied by Moscow almost 18 months into the war. Russia has built heavily fortified defenses along the more than 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) front line where Ukraine has only made...

In the photo, Rittenhouse, who posed with an unidentified officer from the Thrall Police Department, could be seen grinning from ear to ear in front of a patrol vehicle.

Ukraine rejects Russia’s demand to surrender the besieged city of Mariupol.

Senate Committee Plans First Federal Hearing on Election ‘Irregularities’The Senate will hold a hearing next week on irregularities that took place during the 2020 presidential election. “I am mindful that many of the issues that have been raised have been, and will continue to be, appropriately resolved in the courts. But the fact remains that a large percentage of the American public does not view the 2020 election result as legitimate because of apparent irregularities that have not been fully examined. That is not a sustainable state of affairs for our country,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate...

SCOTUS 9-0: Election Day Is One Single Day. Listen to oral argument from Foster v. Love (1997):If the state Legislatures would just sit down for an hour and listen to the oral argument in Foster v. Love, they would have such an easy time understanding their plenary authority was triggered at midnight after Nov. 3rd. (You may listen to the audio here.). Let’s examine some of the transcript:Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: “It is an election, and it seems to me, being an election it conflicts with the Federal single Election Day.” You can’t canvass for days/weeks on end. As Justice...

Supreme Court shoots down Texas lawsuit, but it isn’t over yetThis decision has dramatic implications for the presidential election, but unless President Trump concedes, there are still plenty of options available.The Supreme Court moved today to dismiss a case brought forth by the state of Texas to delay selection of electors in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia. This is a blow to the Trump campaign’s hopes of correcting the election results that were fabricated by widespread voter fraud. According to the Supreme Court, they denied the request over lack of standing. As The Right Scoop noted:The Supreme Court has DENIED...

THE WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT JUST GAVE ITS LEGISLATURE COVER TO INVESTIGATE ILLEGAL VOTES Yesterday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the election for presidential electors was illegally handled by Wisconsin Election Officials, and the Court indicated that all votes by persons claiming to be “indefinitely confined”, must be determined on a case by case basis:. “¶40 Accordingly, we conclude that the Respondents’ interpretation of Wisconsin’s election laws is erroneous. Additionally, we conclude that Emergency Order #12 did not render all Wisconsin electors ‘indefinitely confined,’ thereby obviating the requirement of a valid photo identification to obtain an absentee ballot.” Wisconsin has...

A LEGAL CHALLENGE TO STOP THE SENATE STEAL IN GEORGIAThis challenge concerns a very nebulous statement by the United States Supreme Court, as to whether “voter registration” is a “qualification” to vote for federal Senate seats. The Supreme Court specifically dodged this issue in 2013, and it’s time a Georgia litigant brought it back to them, and fast. If a federal court were to hold that “voter registration” is a “qualification” to vote, then, according to Georgia law, only voters who were registered to vote in the general election this past November could vote in the runoffs. The Seventeenth Amendment...

If we get the Dominion-SolarWinds MOAB, even John Roberts can’t cover it up Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts appears to be against us. By “us,” I mean the majority of American people who support President Trump and believe that the 2020 election was fraudulently manipulated to change the righteous results. But there’s hope that goes beyond the power the Chief Justice has. It’s more powerful than mainstream media, Big Tech, the Democratic Party, and cowardly Republicans on Capitol Hill. Technically, there are two things that are more powerful. The first is the “MOAB” – the Mother Of All Bombshells,...

Who has the power to appoint presidential electors?Now that inferior election officials in Arizona have rejected a legally issued legislative subpoena [...], the Legislature of Arizona must use its enforcement powers [...]. But what enforcement authority [...]? It's not the Judiciary. And it's not a sheriff, or state capital police. The Arizona Legislature has plenary authority over appointing presidential electors. All it has to do is self-convene by quorum in each branch, or by joint ballot, then vote to send Trump electors; then send the slate to Washington, D.C. That's how you enforce the subpoena. But then you do one...

Pence May Reject Biden’s Fraudulent ElectorsFirebrand and freedom fighter Boris Epshteyn, a Trump 2020 adviser, is working overtime through the holidays to legally prove election fraud and rightfully overturn the results, namely, in Arizona. Epshteyn, a regular guest on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” said during his latest appearance on the number one political podcast in the country, that Vice President Mike Pence may reject the slate of electors he finds fraudulent during a joint session of Congress on January 6. Boris was responding to a question about how President Trump can still prevail. “So when the time comes on January...

President Trump has tapped personal attorney Rudy Giuliani to helm his 2020 election result battles, putting him in charge of the campaign’s more than two dozen lawsuits and of all public statements concerning them, according to a report. Trump put the former New York City mayor and staunch supporter in charge in response to a court setback in Maricopa County, Ariz., the New York Times reported. Earlier in the day, the campaign had abandoned as moot its lawsuit alleging that the use of Sharpies caused some ballots to be wrongly rejected
