WASHINGTON — When Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. traveled to Kiev , Ukraine, on Sunday for a series of meetings with the country’s leaders, one of the issues on his agenda was to encourage a more aggressive fight against Ukraine’s rampant corruption and stronger efforts to rein in the power of its oligarchs. But the credibility of the vice president’s anticorruption message may have been undermined by the association of his son, Hunter Biden, with one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Burisma Holdings, and with its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, who was Ukraine’s ecology minister under former President Viktor...

Senator Elizabeth Warren appears uncharacteristically flustered when asked if her ethics plan would allow her Vice President's son to serve on the board of a foreign company: "No," she said. "I don't know. I mean I’d have to go back and look at the details."

ISRAEL—There was a certain man who had two sons, and the younger son demanded his inheritance and then wasted it all in a distant country. When the son came crawling back, begging for forgiveness, the father made a huge celebration to mark the return of his prodigal son. But that celebration was cut short when old tweets the younger son had written surfaced, some of which were characterized as racist. Though the son apologized for those tweets as well, he was immediately kicked out of the house. “He was dead and is alive again,” the father said, “but is now...

he CDC is advising hunters to wear protective equipment while field-dressing deer as a result of the findings. Hunters in Michigan who submit deer heads which test positive for the bacterium could be at higher risk according to the agency. FOX 17 News spoke with TWRA Wildlife Veterinarian Dan Grove who says there has not been a confirmed case of TB in deer in the state but overall, the basic safety advice issued by the CDC is sound. "The advice is sound in general" Grove says. "If it looks like there is an abscess in a piece of meat then...

FYI: John Solomon has uploaded some of the Ukraine docs. start digging

For one thing, while Burisma is clearly trying to portray itself (perhaps genuinely) as an open, Western company, its ownership is more than a little murky. A 2012 investigation from Forbes Ukraine noted that registration documents from Ukraine and Cyprus indicated that Nikolay Zlochevsky, a former government minister and representative of Yanukovych's Party of Regions, was in control of the company. There was speculation from Ukrainian energy analysts that Biden's appointment may have been an attempt to avoid sanctions by other, bigger Yanukovych allies. It's also unclear why, exactly, Biden was hired: At Yahoo News, Olivier Knox and Meredith Shiner...

A newly devised type of silica bead could help save melting glaciers from the onslaught of climate change, scientists say. The innovative new approach, developed by a company called Ice911, employs minuscule beads of 'glass' which are spread across the surface layer of glaciers. There they help to reflect light beating down on them and slow what has become a tremendous pace of melt throughout the last several years. 'I just asked myself a very simple question: Is there a safe material that could help replace that lost reflectivity?' Found of Ice911, Leslie Field, told Mother Jones. What they landed...

A quick reminder of what Joe Biden did during the collective West’s 2014 coup in Kiev… Biden insisted on capturing governmental and administrative buildings in the most violent way, preferably with victims. In order to do this, there had to already be some “symbolic” deaths. He cooked up and coordinated a scenario with other foreign embassies. In addition, Maidan was dying and it needed extra fuel in order to remain alive. The scenario involved “protestors” being shot by snipers. Biden’s guys (Parubiy, Pashinsky, Parasyuk) organised the massacre. I called the then President of Ukraine Yanukovych and ordered him to leave...

Moroccan abortion activists are aborting their unborn babies illegally in protest of laws that protect their children’s lives. On Tuesday, the French newspaper “Le Monde” published a declaration from pro-abortion feminists who promised to keep breaking “unfair and obsolete” abortion laws until the country legalizes abortion, according to the Independent. “We are having sex outside wedlock. We are … being complicit of abortion,” the declaration reads. More than 7,000 people have signed so far, including men, the report states. Morocco prohibits abortions except when the mother’s life is at risk. It also bans sex outside of marriage. But abortion activists...

President Trump’s allies see reasons to worry about the rise of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who is gaining steadily in Democratic primary polls and attracting huge crowds of supporters to her campaign rallies. The Hill interviewed more than a half-dozen current or former advisers to Trump, and about half viewed Warren as the most formidable nominee in a head-to-head match-up against Trump, while the other half described former Vice President Joe Biden as the tougher general election foe. To many Trump World insiders, Warren increasingly looks like the candidate with the best shot at winning the nomination. The two most...

he OK hand gesture and the bowlcut hairstyle are among 36 new entries to the Anti-Defamation League’s online listing of hate symbols. The new entries include white supremacist symbols adopted in recent years by the alt-right segment of the white supremacist movement.

The bowlcut is associated with Dylann Roof, who was convicted of killing nine African-Americans at a church in...

My cousin once told me that during trips he’d taken to socialist countries in connection with his job, he’d witnessed the glaring failures of socialism many times. I don’t remember what got him started, but he began venting about the wretched conditions he observed in every socialist country he ever visited, all of them. Obviously grateful that he was born in capitalist America -- he lives in a million-dollar home and owns a private plane -- he ended his anti-Marxist speech with this unambiguous declaration: “I want nothing to do with socialism.” My cousin is a patriotic Democrat and a...
