Something caught my ear in the car, listening to a radio simulcast of the Feb. 21 "PBS NewsHour." Anchor Judy Woodruff dryly reported that "Canadian police have arrested more than 190 protesters and issued 389 charges in connection with the so-called Freedom Convoy." The "so-called Freedom Convoy." It's a journalistic term, the use of which can be interpreted as distancing themselves from something that's not true. After 9/11, we heard about the "so-called War on Terror." Democrats hated that term. Dan Rather used to get out the 10-foot pole and report on "the Republican political lobbying group that calls itself,...

Liberals are not emotional adults. That is established fact and obvious to any objective observer. No one likes it when things don’t go their way. Whether it’s a being passed over for a promotion at work or the dissolution of a long-term personal relationship or a financial reversal, a setback is never welcome. What defines a person’s character is his reaction to adverse events. Mature adults will stop, take a breath, internalize the misfortune, evaluate their options and calmly pick a corrective course of action, with a minimum of hyperbolic arm-waving and verbal histrionics. Young children, of course, haven’t attained...

Twitter, Instagram and Facebook are quiet about whether the Kremlin and high-ranking Russian officials who are using the platform to give updates about Russia's advance on Ukraine and spread Russian propaganda will continue to have unfettered access to their accounts. Twitter declined to comment to Fox News Digital on Thursday on whether it will take steps to block Putin or high-ranking Russian accounts from posting as the war escalates. Instagram and Facebook did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. Russia's verified Twitter account for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has nearly 380,000 followers and regularly posts Kremlin...

Free speech certainly isn't very "free" when it can be targeted by the State as indisputable proof that its critics are guilty of treason. The Democrats' favorite Harvard Law luminary, Laurence Tribe (the reigning godfather of the "living, breathing Constitution" lie that has justified its being regularly rewritten willy-nilly by an oligarchy of nine) took to Twitter to casually speculate that Tucker Carlson and "the GOP's Trump wing" are committing "treason" for being more interested in Biden's runaway inflation, unprecedented illegal immigration, and North America's rising police state than the local regional squabbles of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of...

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has shocked the former Soviet satellite states of Central and Eastern Europe, drawing strong condemnation even from the region's most pro-Kremlin politicians. For some of the countries that fled the Soviet bloc following a series of anti-communist revolutions more than 30 years ago, footage of tanks and troops rolling in to punish a nation trying to pursue its own independent course looks painfully familiar. Two until now major pro-Russian voices in the European Union, Czech President Milos Zeman and Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, didn't mince their words in criticizing Moscow's most aggressive action since the...

“The streets are quiet and calm in the Ukrainian capital,” a news presenter on Russia’s state-run Perviy Kanal TV channel told viewers in a Friday morning news program, while showing live webcam footage of Kyiv on a giant screen behind her desk. “It is also an ordinary day in Kharkiv,” she said as the footage switched to an apparent live stream of a deserted city center, Ukraine’s second largest, which international media have reported Russian forces have launched missile strikes on and are advancing toward. “Against the background of lies from the Western media, we are showing you exactly what...

The Russian assault on Ukraine confirmed vulnerabilities in safeguarding American energy security. With the U.S. now importing more oil and gas from the rogue nation, it’s time to pursue energy independence again. Make no mistake: preservationist environmental policies are squarely to blame for our present situation of high gas prices and energy bills. If President Biden is serious about punishing Russia, he wouldn’t just impose harsher sanctions; he’d equally scale back his extreme climate agenda. To punish Russia, our nation must unleash energy dominance again. Here’s how. Revoke Executive Order 13990To mitigate the damage caused by energy dependence, the Biden...

Ukrainians are being urged to arm themselves to resist the unprovoked Russian invasion of their country. The immediate question is, "with what?" noting that Ukraine has exactly the kind of gun laws the Democratic Left wants to inflict on the United States. Handguns are illegal unless licensed, and licensing is "may-issue" the same way it is in New York. It is also necessary to have a license to purchase a long gun (as is the case in Illinois with its firearm owner ID card), and authorities can exercise discretion as to who can have a license. There are at most...

All Ukrainian border guards protecting a tiny island in the Black Sea from Russian invaders were killed yesterday after refusing to surrender to warmonger Vladimir Putin’s forces and defiantly telling a Kremlin warship: ‘Go f*** yourselves!’. The small contingent of soldiers, reportedly 13 in number, were posted on Snake Island in the Odessa region near NATO ally Romania and were defending the territory after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine early Thursday morning. In a radio message, the soldiers were told by a sailor on board the vessel: ‘This is Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your...

I will be supporting Donald Trump in 2024. The Durham revelation that the Clinton campaign spied on candidate Trump before the election and President Trump after should be enough to see that virtually everything Trump claimed was happening…was actually happening. So what does this have to do with 2024? Everything, including the election fraud of 2020. Every single American with a functioning brain knows that Donald Trump won the election in 2020 and that everyone from Mark Zuckerberg to the mainstream media to the Democrat party to Never Trumper “conservatives” conspired to steal it. And they did. Of course, the...

In an ideal world, maybe we could ignore what's happening in Ukraine but we have to see the world as it is, not how we want it to be: Russia is calling and wants its Ukraine back. I generally appreciate Tucker Carlson, but every time he discusses Ukraine and Russia, I bristle — especially when he contends that America has no interest in Ukraine. I know some of you might agree with Carlson, but you can be a solid conservative who is just as war-weary as the next guy and still see a security interest in Ukraine without being a...

In the war against Ukraine, Russia is trying to attack not only the Ukrainian infrastructure, but also public figures and politicians who have anti-Putin views. This is the task of the aggressor's sabotage and reconnaissance groups. This belief was expressed by adviser to the head of the presidential office Mikhail Podolyak at a briefing on February 25. The event was broadcast online on the OPU's Facebook page (to view the video, scroll through the news to the end). "Today, the fundamental scenario of the Russian Federation is already clear: to enter Kiev and destroy the leadership of Ukraine, personally Vladimir...

"And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then. He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with...

Former President Donald Trump spoke with Laura Ingraham Wednesday night as Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale attack against Ukraine. Trump says “this is something that shouldn’t have happened,” and people are going to be “needlessly killed.” “This is something that should have never happened,” he said. “This would not have happened during my administration. In fact, some people were saying, why didn’t this take place over the past four years during my administration? And it didn’t for a very good reason. I’ll explain that to you someday. But it wouldn’t have taken place, and it wouldn’t have taken...

Trump right again: 'Putin is playing Biden like a drum.'.. resident Joe Biden on Thursday presided over the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces. The failure to deter Vladimir Putin's aggression marks a continuation of Barack Obama's failed foreign policy and legacy of American weakness. It is a decisive break from Donald Trump's successful policy of powerful American strength. Putin announced a "special military operation" in Ukraine at around 10 p.m. Eastern Time, well past Biden's bedtime. Military operations were already underway. It is the second time in eight years that Russia has invaded Ukraine on a Democratic president's watch....
