Russian politicians might include radical feminism and the child-free movement on internet blacklists. . .Russian senators have proposed a bill to make content promoting the feminist and childfree movements completely illegal, in a bid to stop so-called “radical” material from being posted online. Senator Margarita Pavlova, one of the bill's authors, told RIA Novosti that lawmakers in the country's upper house of parliament were working on expanding the list of banned subject matter and intended to include radical feminist material and content promoting voluntary childlessness among the prohibited topics. Roskomnadzor is the government body that oversees communications, information technology, and...

What if vaccines were designed to spread from one person to another — just like viruses themselves — rather than be injected into each individual to trigger an immune system response? If that were the case, it would mean perhaps only five per cent of the UK population — or three million people — would need to be ‘immunised’. The rest would then ‘catch’ the vaccine as it spread rapidly across the country in airborne droplets passed on via close contact with others, just as colds and flu already spread. … One of the most advanced projects, funded by the...

LAKEWAY, Texas (AP) — Fighting to stay in office, George P. Bush — the last of the Bush family still on the ballot — greeted a small outdoor crowd at an Austin brewery sounding like most Republicans running in Texas’ primary Tuesday. He’ll secure the border. He’ll support police. He didn’t mention Donald Trump, but his campaign passed out leaflets showing him with the former president: the man who mocked Bush’s father, shoved aside the Bushes as the GOP’s standard-bearer and isn’t endorsing him for Texas attorney general.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie took a swipe at former President Donald Trump on Monday for calling Russian President Vladamir Putin a “genius” as troops prepared to invade Ukraine. The jab is the latest sign of friction between the two longtime friends and fellow Republicans that began after Christie criticized Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. Both men are possible 2024 White House contenders.

Ukraine's ambassador to the United Nations on Monday read out what he said were the final text messages from a Russian soldier to his mother - describing his horror at the unfolding war before he was killed. It came during an emergency session of the United Nations General Assembly to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine's representative, Sergiy Kyslytsya, made an impassioned plea for help, holding up a screenshot of the soldier's texts. 'Mom I'm no longer in Crimea,' they began. 'I'm not in training sessions.' His mother asks: 'Where are you then? Papa is asking whether I can...

Ukrainian Amb. Sergei Kyslytsya read out a screenshot of a text exchange between a Russian soldier and his mother from before he was killed during a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.

Former National Security Council Director for European Affairs U.S. Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainian people resisting the Russian invasion could bring about the “beginning of the end” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Gutersloh (DPA/LNW)-Due to violations of the corona regulations, the police in Gutersloh interrupted a nightly service with around 100 people on Saturday. According to the police, around 100 adults and children of a religious community had met in a residential building for common prayer. About half of those present had neither been vaccinated, recovered nor tested and had to leave the house, said a police spokesman. In addition, the applicable rules of the Corona Protection Ordinance, such as distance and mask requirements were often not complied with...

Toyota Motor on Tuesday halted operations at all of its plants in Japan after a major supplier was hit by a cyberattack, disrupting the automaker's parts supply management system. The company is suspending 28 lines at 14 plants. Subsidiaries Hino Motors and Daihatsu Motor will also halt operations at some plants in Japan on Tuesday. The announcement that operations would be halted came on Monday, confirming an earlier Nikkei report. The automakers are still determining whether they will be able to return to normal operations after Wednesday. The shutdown will affect production of around 13,000 vehicles, or 4% to 5%...

Troops are trained in rote set pieces, with no time devoted to improvising if things don’t go as planned. Military operations designed to take place sequentially—Step 1, then 2, then 3, etc.—fell apart, catastrophically. If Step 2 hit a big obstacle, the by-the-book soldiers moved on to Step 3 anyway. Therefore, large troop-transport planes tried to land, even though the airport hadn’t been completely secured and Ukrainian air defense systems hadn’t been destroyed. As a result, two Il-76 transport planes, each carrying 100 airborne troops, were shot down. Tanks aren’t supposed to roll through hostile territory all alone. They need...

I am looking for a post earlier today, I believe, that was about fetal cells being used in the vaccines, after denying their use originally. Can someone help me find that article? Thanks!

Migrants Desecrate More Than 2,000 Churches Just in Greece"As a deeply religious society, these attacks on churches are shocking to the Greek people and calls to question whether these illegal immigrants seeking a new life in Europe are willing to integrate and conform to the norms and values of their new countries." — Greek City Times, May 16, 2020.While the report most likely has the 1453 sack of Constantinople (today Istanbul) in mind — when countless Greek churches, including Hagia Sophia, were desecrated, destroyed, or turned into mosques — that pattern is a century older.Before Christmas, in the North Rhine-Westphalia...

After years of opposition to a southern border wall and even a government shutdown to prevent one, congressional Democrats have become fond of physical barriers on their own doorstep as they deprive Americans of the same protection. On Sunday, the U.S. Capitol Police confirmed that the same perimeter fencing that surrounded the complex months after last year’s Jan. 6 riot would be restored ahead of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday. “Out of an abundance of caution, and in conjunction with the United States Secret Service, a plan has been approved to put up the inner-perimeter...

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a very big deal and a very bad thing. Permit me to stipulate that, before going on to observe that the event has also triggered the latest outbreak of mass hysteria among the Western ruling class, the severest yet. Just when sobriety, responsibility, probity, and diplomatic skill are most needful, our pundits and policymakers offer the opposite: trembling emotion, cheap propaganda, wild fantasies, a refusal to dialogue and de-escalate. And the worst part is: It’s all so damned familiar. Once more, we are falling—or rather, being driven—into structural information traps that hamper sound decision-making and...

Nearly 200 Rocklin Unified School District educators called in sick or took leave Monday, protesting their district’s last-minute defiance of state-imposed K-12 mask mandates. An angry Rocklin Teachers Professional Association in a statement Monday afternoon said its teachers learned the district’s board held a special Feb. 23 meeting ahead of its regularly scheduled March 2 meeting on a day’s notice and during the district’s President’s Week break to adopt a new mask enforcement policy. “While there are varying opinions on masking in our community and our schools, the issue teachers are most concerned about is the lack of respect for...
