Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called to "destroy the ruble and crush the Russian oil and gas sector" in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. Graham made the call in a tweet thread posted after Putin's national address in which he recognized the independence of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic areas of Ukraine. "When it comes to thugs like Putin disrupting world order and destroying democracies – enough is enough," Graham wrote.

Graham took to Twitter and called for the destruction of the ruble and demanded the West “crush” Russia’s energy sector. This will be difficult now that Joe Biden approved the Russia pipeline fueling Western Europe. Joe Biden also started importing oil from Russia after disrupting the US energy sector. Snip “When it comes to thugs like Putin disrupting world order and destroying democracies – enough is enough,” Graham wrote.

As the national debate about Critical Race Theory unfolds, questions continue to circulate about the college-level concept. 10 On Your Side sat down with William & Mary Law School Professor Vivian Hamilton, who is also the director of the school’s center for social justice, to answer some common questions about CRT. Hamilton teaches a unit on CRT in a class covering race and law at William & Mary. She said CRT isn’t taught in Virginia’s K-12 public schools and that most college students don’t learn about it unless they are in specialized courses. What is Critical Race Theory? Critical Race...

The Washington Post has always been a CIA asset. The CIA used the Washington Post to orchestrate the Watergate narrative used to drive President Nixon out of office.The CIA wanted Nixon gone, because Nixon was threatening the military/security complex’s budget and power by making arms control agreements with the Soviets and by opening to China. The CIA was afraid to assassinate Nixon because of the suspicion it was under for assassinating President Kennedy and Senator Kennedy. So the CIA used the Washington Post to assassinate Nixon politically. The entire history of the Washington Post is one of fake news. The...

Scrolling through my social media recently, I noticed a post shared by a friend that read: “@ all high school seniors filling out college applications right now: COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS OK [repeated 7x].” The sharer of the post wrote that she was about to get her associate’s degree and transfer to a four-year school with zero debt. Having gone through a similar college pathway, I hit the “like” button and commented expressing my agreement. This post pushed back against the stigma about community college that many people are enculturated to believe: that going to community college is a failing option...

It has been obvious since early 2020 that there has been an organized cult outreach that has permeated the world as a whole. It’s possible that this formed out of a gigantic error, rooted in a sudden ignorance of cell biology and long experience of public health. It is also possible that a seasonal respiratory virus was deployed by some people as an opportunity to seize power for some other purpose. Follow the money and influence trails and the latter conclusion is hard to dismiss. The clues were there early. Even before the WHO declared a pandemic in March 2020...

Iran, the U.S. and other world powers are nearing a deal to revive the 2015 nuclear accord, although negotiators are still wrangling over significant final demands from Tehran, including the scope of sanctions relief. An agreement could be finalized in Vienna within the next couple of days, said officials involved in the talks. President Biden has made restoring the agreement a top foreign-policy goal. The White House views an agreement restraining Iran’s nuclear program as key to Middle East stability, allowing the U.S. to focus on China and Russia. An agreement would set out the steps Iran and the U.S....

...“Today—24 days after this ordeal began—is the first day I have felt any semblance of peace since the Convoy upended my life,” said first-year University of Ottawa law student Elaine Tam, speaking to JURIST. “I just watched the final truck being towed out of my window’s line of sight around 3:30pm, and I cannot describe the relief that washed over me. […] I am left feeling utterly drained and exhausted. […] My faith in our political institutions, as well as my trust in our law enforcement mechanisms are now damaged beyond repair.” Tam lives a few streets from Parliament and...

So much for Biden's bluster about "severe sanctions" that would be imposed if Russia invades Ukraine. On Monday's Morning Joe, NBC international correspondent Keir Simmons [who's never been accused of anti-Democrat bias], reporting from Moscow, repeatedly said that Putin's "not frightened" by Biden's threatened sanctions.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The CIA has a secret, undisclosed data repository that includes information collected about Americans, two Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee said. While neither the agency nor lawmakers would disclose specifics about the data, the senators alleged the CIA had long hidden details about the program from the public and Congress. Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico sent a letter to top intelligence officials calling for more details about the program to be declassified. Large parts of the letter, which was sent in April 2021 and declassified Thursday, and documents released by the CIA were...

Liz Cheney or her Republican challenger in the upcoming primary race, The Daily Wire has learned. “I’ll be in a race of my own that’s difficult,” Driskill told The Daily Wire in an interview. “I’ve been known for doing endorsements.

I’m sitting on the sidelines and just going to watch the other races go on.” Driskill, who said he supports “most of” former President Donald Trump’s policies since they were “good for business,”...

The Rising Biosecurity Surveillance RegimeDoug Farrow has written, in the form of a Medieval disputatio, a cogent and persuasive defense of civil disobedience in response to vaccine mandates and other unjustifiable Covid measures. For those familiar with my work over the past year, my full endorsement of his position will come as no surprise. Until recently, I had spent my entire fifteen-year career as a professor and director of the Medical Ethics Program at the University of California Irvine School of Medicine. Last August I challenged the University of California’s vaccine mandate in federal court on behalf of individuals, like...

A wave of pro-Trump, outsider candidates running in the 2022 Republican primaries could result in a major shift of the party to the right. The direction the GOP is soon to take should become visible next week following the Texas primaries on March 1. A number of officers in the nation’s second-most populous state — including the governor, attorney general, and agriculture commissioner — face heated primary challenges, as do various GOP House incumbents. The battle between establishment incumbents and insurgent challengers will expand from there into other states, the expectation being that a new generation of officeholders will make...

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney endorsed South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace over her Republican primary challenger backed by former President Trump. Mace announced she had received Mulvaney’s endorsement in a Monday press release, where the former Trump White House chief backed the congresswoman as "a proven fiscally conservative leader for South Carolina and the Lowcountry." "Getting things done in Washington isn’t easy and it doesn’t have to be a nasty business – especially when Members of Congress put their constituents’ needs before partisan politics," Mulvaney said. "The fact Congresswoman Mace held over 1,000 meetings in the district...

You heard it here first, but it's always nice to have independent confirmation of what I've been saying that the vaccines are nonsensical and mandating a nonsensical vaccine is even worse.Steve KirschFeb 18 I just got a new paper from Stephanie Seneff and Kathy Dopp.From the abstract:As of 6 February 2022, based on publicly available official UK and US data, all age groups under 50 years old are at greater risk of fatality after receiving a COVID-19 inoculation than an unvaccinated person is at risk of a COVID-19 death.
