Former President Donald Trump said in an interview Wednesday that President Biden was too gentle with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a Tuesday virtual meeting that focused on the buildup of Moscow’s forces on the border with Ukraine. “I looked yesterday at the two of them and I sort of said, ‘This is the Pittsburgh Steelers in their prime playing against your high school football team,’ because things were given up at that meeting that were terrible,” Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt. Biden said Wednesday that he warned Putin of “severe consequences — economic consequences like none he’s ever...

The crazier side of the internet has been on the "nefarious things are hiding inside furniture" for quite a while. Q adherents might be disappointed to learn that a Florida man did find something inside his new couch: a five-foot boa constrictor. Clearwater Police shared that they were called to a condo to remove a red tail boa from a recently purchased couch. CPD wrote on Facebook that they "extracted it from its hiding place" and took it to a local pet store. "The man just got the couch the other day and he thinks the snake was hiding...

Two local TV news outlets, WFAA and CBS11, picked up a story this week that was first reported on the Dallas Police Department’s Facebook page. On the surface, it reads like a feel-good story: On December 2, an adorable K9 named Ballentine identified a piece of carry-on luggage at Dallas Love Field Airport that contained $100,000 in cash. Police seized the money and posted a photo of the dog with stacks of cash laid out on a table. Good boy. Case closed. But not so fast. According to the reports, the money belonged to a 25-year-old woman from Chicago,...

Not bitter then, Hillary? Clinton breaks down in TEARS as she gives cringeworthy reading of the 2016 victory speech she WOULD have given if she'd beaten Trump to become the first female US President Hillary Clinton has for the first time revealed the victory speech she would have given had she won in 2016, and admitted she did not even bother to write a concession speech. Democrats were blindsided by former President Trump's win that year and Clinton spent much time blaming Russian interference for her loss.

s it possible for a memorandum to be a masterpiece? A few paragraphs long, dashed off ex tempore, for a friend, not polished? Various columns in TCT have appreciated masterpieces – a poem, a painting, a musical work. But could a memorandum ever be accounted a “masterpiece”?I have in mind Newman’s “Memorandum on the Immaculate Conception” – written off by the Cardinal,” his editor says, “for Mr. R. I. Wilberforce, formerly Archdeacon Wilberforce, to aid him in meeting the objections urged by some Protestant friends against the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.”,br> That’s it, “written off” – a memorandum is...

ransomnote: I believe America's Covid camps are called "shielding centers" and information on them is sparse.In Canada, millions of dollars have been put into the country’s Covid-19 “voluntary” quarantine camp program, the government has announced.In order to “help” temporary foreign workers stay safe from Covid germs, Justin Trudeau’s government will spend at least another $5 million (£3,727,170) to establish more “isolation” and “quarantine” camps in British Columbia.The scheme, which is known as “Canada’s Safe Voluntary Isolation Sites Program,” is supposedly being expanded for the purpose of facilitating people who are unable to “self-isolate” at home and require “assistance” from the...

<p>The light, sound and smell of wood fires burning in the Green and Red rooms were just the first sign of the intimacy Jill Biden sought for the White House’s holiday decorations this year. The Bidens, it turns out, love to spend a cozy night in America’s home warming up by a crackling fireplace; the White House has 28 of them.</p>

Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA vaccines and RNA as a drug, discussed the “mass formation” phenomenon during an interview last month. “Matthias Desmet, he’s a psychologist. He’s also a statistician. He’s at the University of Ghent … I think Matthias is on to something and he calls it ‘mass formation psychosis’. So, when he says ‘mass formation’ you can think of this equivalent to ‘crowd’. So, it’s crowd psychosis,” Dr. Malone said.Professor Dr. Mattias Desmet is professor of Clinical Psychology at Ghent University, Belgium. He says mass formation is a type of mass hypnosis and has a huge...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — With more than two dozen states poised to ban abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court gives them the OK next year, California clinics and their allies in the state Legislature on Wednesday revealed a plan to make the state a “sanctuary” for those seeking reproductive care, including possibly paying for travel, lodging and procedures for people from other states.

Wow, the opposition press isn't what it used to be! In a Sunday interview with "The Sexiest Man Alive," Anthony Fauci, CNN's Jake Tapper played a clip of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., criticizing Fauci for keeping the public in a state of raw panic over COVID. Johnson: "Fauci did the exact same thing with AIDS. He overhyped it. He created all kinds of fear, saying it could affect the entire population, when it couldn't. And he's doing -- he's using the exact same playbook for COVID." At that point, the anchor is supposed to say something like, "Dr. Fauci?" and...

As Americans suffer all time price highs amidst the greatest wealth transfer in history, the U.S. Congress has proposed sending $300 million to Ukraine’s military in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The funding will go, in part, to the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative to support the nation’s armed forces. A further $4 billion is billed to go to the European Defense Initiative, with a further $150 million for Baltic Security cooperation. Ukraine has welcomed the proposal, due to a perceived Russian military threat along their border. Only half of the proposed funding will be subject to conditions surrounding...

Biden said Wednesday sending troops to confront a Russian invasion of Ukraine "is not in the cards."..."The idea the US will unilaterally use force to confront Russia invading Ukraine is not in the cards right now," Biden told reporters.

BREAKING: California unveils plan to become an abortion "sanctuary" if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. The proposal would include paying for travel, lodging and procedures for people from other states who want to have an abortion.

A study in mice has found that stress and tissue damage initiated by angiotensin II, a molecule that is known to increase blood pressure and stiffening in the linings of blood vessels, leads to cellular senescence, a process by which a cell ages and permanently stops dividing but does not die. Importantly, when the researchers eliminated senescent cells from the mice, tissues returned to a normal state in spite of a continued infusion of angiotensin II. We've known that angiotensin II can lead to hypertension and cellular damage, but our findings show that chronic, stress-induced damage due to slightly elevated...

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday enhanced COVID-19 restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of the new omicron variant and prevent hospitalizations and deaths. As part of the new policies, Johnson encouraged people in England to work from home starting Monday. He also announced that, beginning next week, the government would require passes showing full vaccination to enter nightclubs and large events and mandate face masks in most indoor public spaces, according to The Associated Press. Johnson noted that the U.K. currently has 568 confirmed cases of the omicron variant but added that "the true number is...

A public hearing on Wisconsin’s voter rolls on Wednesday revealed widespread opportunity for election fraud through old voter rolls. According to the state’s Committee on Campaign and Elections, there are 119,283 “active voters” and hundreds of thousands more “inactive” voters who have been registered for over a century. This number, which totals over 500,000, leaves the door wide open for bad actors to cast invalid votes on behalf of those names who have since passed away sometime in the past 100 years. Also sounding the alarm is 42,000 voters listed as “inactive” as of August 2021, but somehow voted in...
