Moscow will not be three hours different than London until November 7, 2021. Note the time in London and Moscow on the clocks. Clocks show 3 hour time difference. However, there is currently only a 2 hour difference. Before March, London and Moscow have a 3 hour time difference because of daylight savings.

Moscow will not be three hours different than London until November 7, 2021. This...

The situation at Kabul international airport is "tenuous", and US officials are considering evacuating all Americans and leaving Afghans behind, according to CBS News, the BBC's US partner. The decision to abandon Afghan allies has not yet been made, said CBS National Security Correspondent David Martin, but it is "on the table" and will be explored if American troops cannot take control of the airport.

A coup d’état, usually shortened to coup, is the seizure and removal of a government and its powers. Typically, it is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, the military, or a dictator. Wikipedia America today stands at a crossroads like nothing before in its history. Sometime last year, a coup took place – quietly, stealthily, and without great bloodshed, but a coup nonetheless. Groundwork for the coup was laid over a period of decades, but the opportunity to act only came recently. Under the cover of a widespread disease, mechanisms were put in place, including changes...

Good Morning/Afternoon, And WELCOME To The Dan Bongino Show! WELCOME To A Former NYPD OFFICER, A FORMER SECRET SERVICE GENTLEMAN, And NOW A CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO HOST.

National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins said on Sunday that attempting to pin blame for the spread of COVID-19 on migrants is a "distraction" from actually addressing the latest surge in cases. While appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Collins was asked what responsibility migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border had in contributing to the wave of new cases being seen in the U.S. Host Chris Wallace pointed to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who has pinned the blame for the surge on migrants coming from the southern border.

Sawyer sponsored a bill that would have raised the age to 18. Instead, a compromise measure that won unanimous support from the Senate in May and the House this week would raise the minimum marriage age to 16 with no exceptions, including pregnancy. And even those 16 or 17 would need parental permission or a judge’s decision that the marriage would “serve the best interest of an underage party.” Rep. Kristin Baker of Cabarrus County, who helped shepherd the bill through the House, explained that “as a conservative Christian, I am a strong supporter of the sacrament of marriage.” “As...

Good Morning And WELCOME TO THE CHRIS PLANTE SHOW! The Lovable Harmless Little Porcupine Takes On "The Swamp" Called Washington D.C.

Washington, D.C. — This morning, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) released the following statement on the recent events in Afghanistan: “Just as President Biden has failed our country on COVID, at the border and economically – he has failed in Afghanistan. Since he was on vacation, I don’t know if he even noticed. We did. The decision to withdraw was correct. I made the full case here. The strategy and tactics, horrific and incompetent. The fundamental error was ever believing that the Afghan ‘government’ and ‘military’ would ever fight for or win anything. They fled the country with whatever they...

That the decrepit state of planning in the leadup to a known and announced withdrawal deadline persists so late in the game is unforgivable.That the decrepit state of planning in the leadup to a known and announced withdrawal deadline persists so late in the game is unforgivable. …U.S. officials have insisted the military will be able to keep terrorism threats in check through what’s known as over-the-horizon operations, or those launched from outside the country. But plans for exactly how those operations will work and where those troops could be based are still being crafted. The United States does not...

Harris was reportedly pressed to give an update on Afghanistan to the American people but refused. White House source says Kamala Harris could be heard screaming today: “They will not pin this s*** on me!”

What we are witnessing today is the end of Joe Biden’s presidency… Afghanistan was merely the last straw… 1. Joe Biden Lost Entire Country in a Single Day After 20 years, thousands of American lives, and trillions of dollars, Afghanistan collapsed in a single day. Think about the extent of that failure. All those years, all that treasure, all those precious lives, and in one day, it’s all over. Oh, Slow Joe and the fake media will try to blame former President Donald Trump, and it is more than fair to believe the Taliban would’ve eventually routed the Afghan government...

Fans of Middle-earth may not be too miffed about where Amazon Studios shoots its yet-to-be-titled The Lord of the Rings television series. It is a different story for those whose paycheques are tied to bringing JRR Tolkien’s books to life on the big screen. On Friday, Amazon Studios announced that it will film Season Two of its Rings series in the United Kingdom rather than New Zealand, where shooting on Season One recently wrapped.

(CNN)President Joe Biden will address the crisis in Afghanistan from the White House on Monday afternoon, as he faces mounting questions about his administration's apparent failure to prepare for the collapse of that nation's government. Biden remained at the wooded Camp David presidential retreat with members of his family over the weekend as chaotic images from Kabul emerged. He will return to Washington ahead of his address, which is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET.

The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence. These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online...

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country with four vehicles and a helicopter full of cash, the Russian embassy in Kabul said Monday. The embattled leader left the presidential palace in Kabul on Sunday to the insurgent Taliban fighters who had toppled his government. “To avoid bloodshed, I thought it would be better to leave,” Ghani, 72, said on Facebook in his first comments after his departure. The former World Bank academic — who holds a doctorate from New York City’s Columbia University — didn’t say where he was going, but Al Jazeera reported later that he had flown to...

The U.S. is the indirect armament supplier for deadly drug wars in Mexico and the gangsters of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The American appetite for illicit narcotics draws drugs northward; the “iron river” of weapons flows south; Mexican and Central American society is torn apart by terror and murder; desperate refugees of gang violence come north. Traffic both ways is heavy. So is the death toll. Mexico vs. Smith and Wesson was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Defendants include Beretta, Century Arms, Colt, Glock, Ruger, Smith & Wesson and Interstate Arms. Predictably, the small...

One key point I keep returning to is: it didn’t have to be this way.For all the fractiousness about Afghanistan over the past twenty years, finally there is unity in this opinion: What a disaster. The situation in Kabul seems hellish. People are literally falling out of the wheel wells of C-130s, desperate to get out. The idea that a delay from the original timeline for departure would enable the U.S. and our allies to prepare looks ludicrous in hindsight, instead moving the exit into the fighting season and allowing the Taliban more time to prepare. And where is Joe...
