Black immigrants have reported experiencing racism and being stopped from fleeing to safety as Russia continues its assault against Ukraine. More than 500,000 refugees have fled from Ukraine into neighboring countries since Russian invaded its neighbor last week. But African students trapped in the country have taken to social media to document the hurdles and hostility they faced while trying to flee, raising awareness for their plight using the hashtag #AfricansInUkraine on Twitter. Several videos have gone viral on social medis appear to show Black people being denied access to trains, including one that showed Ukrainian forces apparently pushing s...

Ukrainian parliament member Kira Rudik said the quiet part out loud when she joined Fox News on Sunday to provide an update about the ongoing advance on Kyiv by Russian forces. During the interview, Rudik detailed the efforts Ukrainians are making to defend against Putin’s invasion, highlighting how countless civilians have “taken up arms” and are standing at the ready – including herself. In response to the host asking if she was “surprised” to see Ukrainians displaying such strong will to fight back against Russia, Rudik explained: “I’m not surprised. We have been fighting Putin for the last 8 years...

Last Friday, I expressed my increasing concern, echoing those of world leaders and citizens of the world alike, over the events unfolding in Ukraine. Today, I wish to announce that I have decided to proceed with opening an investigation into the Situation in Ukraine, as rapidly as possible. Ukraine is not a State Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court ("ICC" or the "Court"), so cannot itself refer the situation to my Office. But it has twice exercised its prerogatives to legally accept the Court's jurisdiction over alleged crimes under the Rome Statute occurring on its territory,...

And Volodymyr Zelensky is its star....The Russian invasion of Ukraine is not only the largest European land conflict since the 1940s — it’s also the first for the TikTok and YouTube generation.As videos pour in across Twitter and Instagram and other social media platforms are leveraged for credit or propaganda, it’s become evident that we are in a brand new era, much like the one that arrived with twenty-four-hour cable news coverage of the US invasion of Iraq in 1990. Back then it was grainy night vision images of patriot missile launches and target explosions that dazzled homes all over...

Parents of Roman Brodsky, 37, says their son was heading for Israel ad was mistaken for Russian supporting Chechen forces, blame Putin for his death An Israeli citizen was shot dead as a convoy he was traveling in outside Kyiv came under fire, apparently by Ukrainian troops who mistook him for a Chechen militant...

Former boxing champion Vasiliy Lomachenko has joined the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky Territorial Defense Battalion to help fight for his home country of Ukraine against Russia, according to a post on his official Facebook page. Lomachenko, long considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, is a former featherweight, junior lightweight and lightweight titleholder. He’s not the only Ukrainian boxer enlisting, however. Vitali Klitschko, a Hall of Fame boxer and mayor of Ukraine's capital of Kyiv, said this week he intends to fight for his native country as it faces an invasion from Russia. Attacks on Ukraine, including one on Kyiv,...

... With each passing day, it is becoming clearer that Putin’s gamble is failing. The Ukrainian people are resisting with all their heart, winning the admiration of the entire world – and winning the war. Many dark days lie ahead. The Russians may still conquer the whole of Ukraine. But to win the war, the Russians would have to hold Ukraine, and they can do that only if the Ukrainian people let them. This seems increasingly unlikely to happen. Each Russian tank destroyed and each Russian soldier killed increases the Ukrainians’ courage to resist. And each Ukrainian killed deepens the...

Calls out cancel culture, campaigns against "misinformation," Trudeau, Putin, School boards, etc., etc., succinctly, truthfully, and sincerely.

Donald Trump and kids Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. on Monday appealed a judge’s ruling that they be deposed as part of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ probe into the Trump Organization’s business practices. Earlier this month, a Manhattan judge denied the Trump trio’s bid to quash James’ subpoenas for their testimony, ordering them to appear for depositions by March 10. Last week, Trump’s lawyer reportedly said he planned to appeal and ask the court to pause the AG’s case and the subpoena deadline while they fight the decision. Lawyers for all three Trumps filed appeals with the Appellate...

Here on Day 5 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, things are dramatically heating up as Putin order Kyiv to be hit with massive shelling, sending giant fireballs of explosion into the night sky. But when we remember that Day 5 of the Russian Invasion is really Day 714 Of 15 Days To Flatten the Curve, things begin to make more sense. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB) On the Podcast today, we explored these things and what we found was that Putin’s war is actually creating a mobilized Europe,...

As Russia pounded Ukraine in the opening days of its invasion, the defenders credited a new piece of equipment with helping them fight back — the Bayraktar TB2 drone. Videos shared by the Ukrainian military showed at least one strike appearing to tear apart a column of Russian tanks and armored vehicles. One came from Malyn in the Zhytomyr region, about 150 kilometers from Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, and shows the destruction of a Russian Buk surface-to-air missile launcher, the Ukrainian military said. "Bayraktars at work," the caption for the same video posted on an official military Facebook page said. "Be...

First lady Jill Biden accidentally introduced Vice President Kamala Harris as 'president of the United States' at a Black History Month event at the White House Monday. The first lady made the flub in a speech where she saluted Harris as a 'partner to Joe' and made reference to her role as the first black vice president. 'Ladies and gentlemen, the president of – the vice president of the United States,' the first lady said, drawing instant laughs when she corrected herself. Among those seen guffawing were the president himself. She also had a joke her husband's expense when praising...

A former Trump administration official this weekend floated the possibility of Michelle Obama succeeding President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee, warning that the former first lady would be a formidable opponent to the GOP. 'If [Democrats] were to run Michelle Obama, that would put us in a very difficult position,' former Trump aide Monica Crowley said at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando on Saturday. 'They'd reach for a candidate who is completely plausible, very popular, and immune to criticism.'

Many working undocumented immigrants won’t qualify for state health insurance even if they don’t earn a living wage. That leaves them with few viable options for coverage.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), an MSNBC contributor, said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” said both former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are both “big fat liars.” McCaskill said, “If everyone who is a Republican wasn’t so anxious to blame Biden for the sun coming up in the morning, I think a really clear-eyed view of what is going on right now, shows that Biden and his administration, first they got the information out there that ruined Putin’s plan to have an excuse for this murderous aggression. They did that first. Secondly, it appears that they united NATO...

Here's an interesting phenomenon. If you want to call it that. So I wanted to see what sort of news there is for Canada; I'm curious about what happened to the Trucker's Convoy, Ottawa, etc., basically all of the stuff that was the #1 story in the US MSM before Ukraine. So I go to Google and type in Canada. When the search comes back, I hit the "News" tab. After I hit the "News" tab, the word Canada is still in the Google search window. But the heading of the search is not that word. It is two words,...

Ukraine has paraded captured Russian soldiers in dozens of online videos as Moscow finally admitted its forces have sustained heavy losses after pictures showing bodies of Kremlin fighters emerged. Footage posted online show tied up 'demoralised and exhausted' Russian prisoners of war captured after they failed to break through Ukrainian defences in Kyiv and Kharkiv over the weekend. Several of the videos were posted on a Telegram channel set up on Saturday by Ukraine's Interior Ministry called 'Find Your Own'. Many Russian troops claimed that they believed they were conducting training exercises in the border regions and did not know...
