After Azerbaijani forces retook Shusha, the cultural capital of the Azerbaijani people and a peace agreement was signed that was favorable to Azerbaijan, Azerbaijanis, both in Azerbaijan and the Diaspora, have been waving Israeli flags at every available opportunity, as a token of appreciation for both Israeli humanitarian assistance and the weapons that Israel sold them, which tipped the strategic balance in their favor. No other Muslim nation except for the Kurds has ever waved the Israeli flag across the streets of their nation. This right here demonstrates how much Israeli-Azerbaijani relations are blossoming. As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...

Constitutional or Not?

The world has reacted with disgust and anger after a damning inquiry into Australian soldiers in Afghanistan exposed a disturbing litany of alleged war crimes. The atrocities allegedly committed by Australian Special Air Service members were so vile that more than 50 pages in Thursday's report had to be redacted. The Australian Defence Force report uncovered a staggering 39 unlawful killings, along with deceit and cover-ups, by 25 current or former SAS personnel. The soldiers are accused of engaging in body count competitions and torturing civilians, as well as allegations of drug and alcohol abuse. Major General Paul Brereton's investigation...

The European Union cannot afford to compromise on the rule-of-law provisions it applies to the funds it allocates to member states. How the EU responds to the challenge to those provisions now posed by Hungary and Poland will determine whether it survives as an open society true to the values upon which it was founded.NEW YORK – Hungary and Poland have vetoed the European Union’s proposed €1.15 trillion ($1.4 trillion) seven-year budget and the €750 billion European recovery fund. Although the two countries are the budget’s biggest beneficiaries, their governments are adamantly opposed to the rule-of-law conditionality that the EU...

Two Republican-run Senate committees on Wednesday released new evidence they say shows Hunter Biden and his business associates were working deals as late as 2017 tied to communist China and Russian energy interests, arguing the activities created potential counterintelligence concerns for Joe Biden's family. The release of the evidence came as the unsettled U.S. election between President Trump and Joe Biden entered a third week of recounts and legal disputes, and Republicans began stepping up questions about Biden family conflicts should the Democrat ultimately be certified the winner and take control of the White House on Jan. 20. The evidence...

Now that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is personally "reaching out" to members of a Michigan election board as part of a larger plot to simply throw out the results of an election he lost by a comfortable margin, maybe we can stop pretending this is just a public tantrum we can allow to burn out until he falls into a fevered nap. That his allies believe the president must be approached like a spoiled toddler is itself an indication of our national decline, and an indictment of all the lackeys who've worked so hard to make...

As several coronavirus vaccines inch closer toward FDA approval, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert has called on the public to double down on public health measures. Dr. Anthony Fauci, in a virtual discussion with The Hastings Center on Thursday, said the eventual vaccine is meant to protect the individual from getting sick from the coronavirus, but may not prevent that person from spreading the virus to others.

Netflix’s new limited series, “The Queen’s Gambit,” leads the site’s top ten most popular list for the third straight week since its late October premiere, making it one of the platform’s most-watched shows of 2020. This feat is all the more impressive considering the steep competition among streaming providers this year. Adapted from Walter Tevis’s 1983 novel and brought to life by veteran screenwriters Scott Frank and Allan Scott, the mini-series depicts the unexpectedly cutthroat world of 1960s chess against the lavish backdrop of the Cold War era, when chess boards were just another arena in which rival nations competed...

"The Dominion Voting Systems, the Smartmatic technology software and the software that goes in other computerized voting systems here as well, not just Dominion, were created in Venezuela at the direction...

A nonpartisan group called Accountable Arizona is made up of veterans and volunteers. They're collecting petition signatures, trying to force a recall election. Group founder Adam Halleck says Gov. Ducey has been playing partisan politics to appease President Trump. “There has not been one point during his COVID response that Doug Ducey was ahead of the curve. He’s had every decision that he’s made was made late. It was made because people were, you know, yelling at him...

The first COVID-19 vaccine could arrive in Pennsylvania next month, and a second could arrive in January, state Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said Thursday. However, the early supply will be severely limited, with the initial doses reserved for front-line health care workers, first responders, the elderly and people living in group health care settings. Plus, the expected first vaccines will require two doses to be effective, further limiting the supply. Pennsylvania plans to distribute the vaccine in three phases, with the second involving high-risk people not included in the first phase, and the third involving the general public....

Another brilliant mind on the Internet revealed how votes were shifted from President Trump to Biden in the 2020 election. This Internet sleuth shared his results on Twitter. This is what the Trump team just announced today at their press conference! An expert on twitter with the name @redpillx2 shared his results on Twitter on how the 2020 election was fixed for Joe Biden.

The Hill opinion columnist Joe Concha nuked the “marshmallow media” for consistently lobbing “T-ball” questions at former Vice President Joe Biden in the relatively few press conferences he’s held since clinching the Democratic nomination. This comes after the pro-Biden liberal media has dragged the country through nearly four years of mind-numbing anti-Trump political hell. With a potential new presidency at hand, the media have barely made Biden have to defend much — if any — of his leftist policy agenda. This is especially true of how the media has handled coverage of Biden’s radical economic agenda. As Concha put it...
