The United Kingdom has sent a group of around 30 elite troops and 2,000 anti-tank missile launchers to Ukraine amid fears of a new Russian invasion. That's according to Sky News, Ukrinform reports. "The members of the Ranger Regiment - part of the army's newly-formed Special Operations Brigade - flew out on military planes that also airlifted a total of some 2,000 anti-tank missile launchers to the country during the course of this week," the media outlet said. According to the report, a group of around 30 elite British troops arrived in Ukraine to help train the Ukrainian armed forces...

There was a time when these words – the first regarding his drug addled son, the second aimed at a respected journalist – would have been taken as evidence that the sitting president uttering them was off his rocker, rounding the bend, losing his marbles. But that time is not now. Not when the old man spends half his waking hours these days yelling at boogeymen and specters in the sky. January, 11, 2022: The PIC (potato-in-chief) sputtered, squawked and coughed his way through a speech about the made-up threat of voter suppression in Georgia.The devil goes down to Georgia…I...

The following article is reprinted from JNS. Written by Chaim Silberstein and Hillel Fendel, it quotes and uses statistics provided by Raymond Ibrahim, a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. Fact: The 2016 killing of a gorilla in Cincinnati received six times more media coverage than the beheading by ISIS of 21 Coptic Egyptian Christians who refused to recant their faith. This is just one example of the woeful paucity of reporting on rampant Muslim persecution of Christians around the world. Others abound. In Nigeria, no fewer than 32,000 Christians were butchered to death by the country’s main...

<p>CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Police say they are investigating the death of a man who was reportedly killed when an explosive vest he was wearing detonated while he was driving his car in a suburban street in the Australian city of Melbourne.</p>

Who’s Calling the Shots in Your Doctor’s Orders?Life and Death in Bureaucratized American MedicineDr. Vladimir Zelenko was going about his ordinary practice in Monroe, New York, when he suddenly found himself at the epicenter of one of the first covid outbreaks in the US. Patients he’d been taking care of for twenty years were looking to him for help, and he had nothing to offer them. So, he prayed to God for help and set about doing some research.A TheoryA video from MedCram.com, a medical information and teaching site, was sent to him. It explained how the mineral zinc inhibits...

At his first interview with the Israeli media in early January the new American ambassador was asked If he would be visiting any of the settlements. No, he said, “I absolutely will not.” This went over well in the Muqata in Ramallah, but left most Israelis feeling a blend of amazement, chagrin, and fury. There was more to come. “New US envoy says ‘absolutely won’t’ visit settlements, to avoid inflaming tensions,” by Jacob Magid, Times of Israel, January 14, 2022: Pointing to another difference between the current and previous American administrations, the US ambassador said, “The Biden administration believes...

Sky News publishes massively misleading headline. British broadcaster Sky News breathlessly reported on the COVID death of “anti-vax” Olympic gold medallist Szilveszter Csollany, before admitting later in the article that he was vaccinated. Well, this is awkward. The 51-year-old Hungarian, who was the 2000 Sydney Olympics rings champion, had been hospitalised since December with the illness, a stay which included weeks on a ventilator. Citing Hungarian media outlet Blikk, Sky News reported that Csollany had “expressed anti-vaccination views on social media.” This led the news outlet to headline the article ‘Anti-vax’ Olympic gold medallist dies of COVID’, clearly suggesting that...

Icelandic pizzeria nods to pagan tradition by serving sheep's head as special topping On a bed of arugula and carrot slices, an Icelandic pizzeria has laid out an unusual topping for their new, seasonal pizza: a sheep's head boiled in stout beer. The head itself is laced with a smoked chili barbecue sauce that plays up the animal's flavour — more than when it's traditionally been served for Thorrablot, the midwinter food festival celebrating Iceland's pagan history. And that's because the sauce includes another juicy ingredient — sheep dung. "It's really delicious. I mean, it has to be tasted to...

The Biden administration has yet to release December border crossing numbers that Customs and Border Protection has circulated internally for at least 10 days, raising concerns on Capitol Hill that the White House is concealing damaging information about the severity of the border crisis. On Jan. 14, CBP submitted the December data in a court filing. Those data revealed 178,840 migrant apprehensions in December, an increase from 173,620 in November. A spokeswoman for CBP told the Washington Free Beacon the December numbers are "scheduled to be released soon," although she did not answer why they were delayed. Congressional Republicans have...

A 31-year-old man has been removed from the heart transplant list at a Boston hospital because he is refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, his family said. DJ Ferguson was first on the list to receive the transplant at Brigham and Women’s Hospital — but he is no longer eligible because of his vaccination status, CBS Boston reported His father, David Ferguson, said his son — who is fighting for his life in the hospital and is in desperate need of the transplant — doesn’t believe in the COVID-19 vaccine. “It’s kind of against his basic principles, he doesn’t believe...

This is an original creation. I would be shocked if someone else hasn't already done it. But it has the dual advantages of being both a lot of fun and oddly playable. Enjoy! All of the normal rules of Rummy apply: - All players start with seven cards and the discard pile contains a single face-up card - A turn consists of a draw or pickup from the discard pile, an optional play, and a discard - If you pick up more than one card from the discard pile, you must immediately play at least the bottom card and keep...

Thomas Nides, who arrived in Israel in late November to serve as the new American ambassador, said in his first interview with the Israeli media on January 14 that he had never visited an Israeli settlement, though he had visited Israel many times, and when asked if he might now do so, replied “I absolutely will not.” That remark must have greatly cheered the Palestinians; no doubt there were smiles all around in the Muqata as they realized what kind of man they would now be dealing with. In Israel, however, and not only in the settlements where half...

In the early phases of the pandemic, as the coronavirus spread in the United States and doctors and pharmacists and supermarket clerks continued to work and risk infection, some commentators made reference—metaphorical reference, fast and loose and over the top—to ritual human sacrifice. The immediate panicky focus on resuming business as usual in order to keep the stock market from crashing was the equivalent of “those who offered human sacrifices to Moloch,” according to the writer Kitanya Harrison. That first summer, as Republicans settled into their anti-testing, anti-lockdown, anti-mask, nothing-to-worry-about orthodoxy, Representative Jamie Raskin, a Democrat, said it was “like...

Dear friends; I would like to use the mighty oak tree as an example of humanity from the Tower of Babel to our day (Gen. 11; Rev. 6-19). If you study fallen humanity; especially from an objective biblical perspective; you will see that the Bible is the absolute best commentary on Adam's fallen and demonically depraved race (Gen. 6; Rom. 1:18-32; 33:23; 2 Cor. 5:12-21; Gal. 1:4; Eph. 2:1-3; 6:10-12)! As from an acorn to a full-grown oak, so is it from Babel to our day! As we look at the 6000 years of human history; we find ourselves in...

As a rule, few things are less likely to be the source of humor than court decisions. Sometimes there are excellent puns or low-key snark, but you don’t find belly-laugh material. Usually. Last Friday, a panel of the Ninth Circuit published a decision on a complaint arising from Ventura, California, that covered both the COVID panic and the Second Amendment. During the height of the COVID panic, that county ordered firing ranges, and gun shops closed. Presumably, this is because the Wuhan virus has a particular affinity for recreational venues. Several groups and individuals sued to overturn the order as...

GALLIFREY—Reports indicate that just as the fallen Doctor was regenerating into a strong, powerful, diverse female, the 14th Doctor has instead taken the form of Doctor Jordan Peterson. What was certain to be the most stunning and brave—and not to mention the lowest-rated—season yet, has now been subverted entirely by the emergence of Doctor Peterson as the newest Time Lord. “It’s like no—if you betray yourself, if you say untrue things, you weaken your character,” said Dr. Peterson when asked why he returned as a man. “For God sakes, you just can’t bloody well live with that kind of paradox...

"...there was also a political dream of the plague, which was exactly its reverse: not the collective festival, but strict divisions; not laws transgressed, but the penetration of regulation into even the smallest details of everyday life through the mediation of the complete hierarchy that assured the capillary functioning of power; not masks that were put on and taken off, but theassignment to each individual of his 'true' name, his 'true' place, his 'true' body, his 'true' disease. The plague as a form, at once real and imaginary, of disorder had as its medical and political correlative discipline. ...The plague...

The San José City Council will vote Tuesday on requiring every household with a gun owner to have liability insurance coverage for their firearms and pay an annual fee – which would make San Jose the first city or state in the nation with such gun violence reduction proposals.
