MOSCOW, December 27. /TASS/. Russia has never demonstrated some "imperial ambitions" and it has no plans for reviving the Soviet Union, the speaker of the Federation Council (upper house of parliament) Valentina Matviyenko told a news conference on Monday when asked for a comment regarding allegations Russia had plans for recreating the Soviet Union. "First, even if somebody might wish to do this, it would be impossible. Second, we have never demonstrated any imperial ambitions. The train is gone. These days it is essential to develop mutually beneficial cooperation on a new basis. We have no such plans and we...

"A vaccine requirement for a person getting on the plane is just another level of getting people to have a mechanism that would spur them to get vaccinated. Namely, you can't get on a plane unless you're vaccinated, which is just another one of the ways of getting requirements, whatever that might be," he added. He also continued to reiterate that wearing masks on planes is still a good idea despite airline CEO's saying they were not always necessary due to sufficient air filtration systems inside aircraft. "I think the idea of taking masks off, in my mind, is really...

@RepThomasMassie The booster shot was never about reducing symptoms. The booster shot was about trying to maintain the lie that the vaccine could prevent people from contracting and spreading COVID. That lie was the basis for all vaccine mandates, and it completely disintegrated this month.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Monday thanked President Biden for his efforts to "depoliticize" the nation's response to the coronavirus pandemic as the omicron variant surges across the country. Biden held a call with numerous governors to discuss the response to the latest COVID-19 variant, which is highly contagious and has led to a sharp increase in cases and triggered long waits for testing.

Just 36 percent of registered voters approve of President Joe Biden’s job performance, Civiqs polling revealed Sunday. Biden’s approval has reached historic lows amid high crime, 40-year-high inflation, and Americans stranded in Afghanistan: 55 percent disapprove of Biden’s job performance. Among those 18 to 34 years old, Biden’s approval rating is only 28 percent, while 56 percent disapprove. Ages 35 to 64 mark Biden’s approval rating in the high 30s, while those 65 and older give Biden a 41 percent approval rating. When broken down by race, Biden’s approval numbers are weak in some demographics. Only 29 percent of white...

New York businesses are struggling to abide by the state’s mask and vaccination rules, with one gym alone seeing 200 membership suspensions or cancelations over the coercive rules thrust upon business owners by the Democrat governor. This month, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) issued an ultimatum to businesses, requiring them to either check the vaccination status of customers or require masks across the board. The state will not revisit the rule until January 15, 2022. But now, businesses which were already struggling due to extended lockdowns and restrictions are facing yet another uphill battle.

The White House downplayed a statement by the U.S. Secret Service that nearly $100 billion at minimum has been stolen from COVID-19 relief programs, saying that the estimate is based on old reports. White House press secretary Jen Psaki, when asked to comment on the figure, said, “There is no new research, data, or analysis of fraud here.” The Secret Service told The Associated Press that the estimate is based on Secret Service cases and data from the Labor Department and the Small Business Administration. An agency spokesperson said that they were not amending a statement on their website, but...

Vice President Kamala Harris celebrated the beginning of Kwanzaa Sunday night, an underlying Marxist holiday created by black nationalists, by praising one of the “seven principles” of Kwanzaa, which happen to coincide with the seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army. “When I was growing up, Kwanzaa was a special time. Friends and family members would fill our home. We would listen to the elders tell stories and watch them light the candles on the kinara,” Harris said, recalling her childhood memories of Kwanzaa in similar fashion to her remembrance last year.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The FBI is investigating a credible threat to the president by the president after President Biden was caught on camera during a live Christmas event repeating the phrase "Let's Go Brandon." According to witnesses, the Bidens were speaking with a caller who uttered the notorious chant "Let's Go Brandon!" before hanging up. "Let's Go Brandon! Yeah, I agree!" said Biden to the horror of witnesses and viewers across America. "It was a truly dark moment for our democracy," said respected left-wing intellectual Joy Reid. "That dangerous right-wing white supremacist insurrectionist slur uttered by Joe Biden is a legitimate threat...

Events happened this year that would have been believed impossible not long ago, with new lows and technological advances.The world seemed to get closer to spinning out of its orbit in 2021. If you’d told me five years ago that men would be treated as women, criminals would not be prosecuted, and censorship would be widespread, I wouldn’t have believed you.What were once considered the most basic, scientific truths (such as that you’re born with your sex and can’t change it) have broken down. Governments are no longer serving their primary function of providing security and protecting borders. There are...

Kamala Harris is arguably one of the least, if not the least effective Vice President in history. There are a number of reasons for that and one big one. She's a very weird person When Kamala Harris considers movie titles that make people think of her, she probably goes straight to “Wonder Woman.” I have news for her: Every time she opens her mouth, people are wondering, “What Planet Are You From?” Her staff is jumping ship. "I guess when your boss' approval ratings are at 28% and she's polling even lower on her number one job, the U.S. southern...

A look back at the esteemed personalities who left us this year, who'd touched us with their innovation, creativity and humanity. By CBSNews.com senior producer David Morgan. The Associated Press contributed to this gallery.

A gang of four suspects has been arrested and charged by the Los Angeles Police Department in connection with the murder of 23-year-old Jose Ruiz Gutierrez in furtherance of a robbery. The suspects may also be linked to other similar 'follow-home' incidents in the area.

A new poll indicates that self-described independent voters would prefer, by an 18 percentage-point margin, that Republicans regain control of Congress in next year’s midterm elections. The poll by John Zogby Strategies, released last week, found that 45 percent of independents want the GOP in charge of the House and Senate, compared to 27 percent who want Democrats to keep their majority. The remaining 28 percent said they were undecided.

There's a new Grinch among us this holiday season -- it's Neil deGrasse Tyson, whose party-pooping amounts to debunking the existence of Santa Claus ... with cold, hard physics. The famed astrophysicist went on a tear in the days leading up to Christmas this year, tweeting out fact after fact after fact ... all of which were intended to clear up the reality -- namely, that there's no way in hell Old Saint Nick could deliver presents on Christmas Eve. First, NDT tackled the North Pole and what every little kid imagines his workshop/village might look like based on storybooks....

At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home at Menlo Park became the site of one of the deadliest outbreaks in the nation.

Moreover, employees at the facility were discouraged from using face masks in caring for patients, with one plan discussed to discipline employees...
