The West’s severance from Russia became more apparent this week when CNN International, ABC, CBS, and other major news outlets announced they will stop broadcasting in the Eastern European country following its invasion of Ukraine.

With staggering amounts of propaganda emanating from the conflict in Ukraine, and with the Western Media’s agenda-driven, full-throated embrace of it all, Charlie is joined by Pedro Gonzalez, Associate Editor of Chronicles Magazine, to help make sense of it all. Throughout the conversation, Pedro gives some of the most comprehensive, detailed breakdowns of what is being done by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, how the West is responding, the shocking and largely untold history of the region, and finally—where all the capitulation and chaos will eventually lead civilization as we know it.

For any NHS doctor, bringing new life into the world is an extraordinary privilege. And for Dr Dermot Kearney, smiling fondly at the trio of babies gurgling happily by his side, the knowledge that he played a small but crucial role in their arrival is particularly poignant. But these three infants may never have been born were it not for his courageous intervention. The battles their families – and Dr Kearney – have fought have been deeply personal as well as medical. In each case their mothers had, for their own reasons, chosen to start an abortion using NHS pills...

The gunman who killed his three daughters, a chaperone who was supervising his visit with the children and himself in a Sacramento County church was known to have struggled with mental health issues, officials said. New details also reveal that David Mora Rojas, 39, also used a "ghost gun" in the shooting.

On Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Wall Street Week,” economist Larry Summers stated that “we’re now facing real risks of a 1970s-type scenario…the same kind of broad phenomenon of stagflation.” And that this is partially “a response to the excessive stimulation of the economy during 2021.” Summers stated that monetary policy is effective at tamping down inflationary pressures, “but it may not be an effective tool without engineering a slowdown in the economy. The last dot plot has the Fed believing that three things are going to happen together: that inflation’s going to fall below three, unemployment’s going to stay well...

Socialists, communists, and leftists of every stripe get triggered by Let’s Go Brandon and anytime someone adds to the saying, its more than just an issue of insulting slow Joe. Word has it that the Alabama Department of Revenue is threatening to revoke a man’s truck registration because he must have triggered a hidden lefty who lost it when (they/them who/what it/is) figured out what LGBF JB meant. The story has it that Many people deduced these letters were meant to stand for the anti-Biden phrases “Let’s go, Brandon” and “F*** Joe Biden,” a conclusion seemingly supported by the “Let’s...

[Catholic Caucus] The False Shepherds Have Groomed Us for Globalism and Perdition In his 1984 lectures in Belfast and Dublin, the great Michael Davies began with an image to help his audience understand the manner in which the innovators had spread the novelties of Vatican II within the Church:“I understand that there is a most effective method of killing goldfish which can be employed by tender-hearted people who do not wish to inflict pain upon these colorful little creatures and yet, for some compelling reason, wish to dispose of them. I had better point out, in order to avoid...

The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that the United States Constitution is “trash” written by slave-owning white people. Discussing his new book “Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution,” Mystal said, “Republicans are obviously trying to manipulate those laws, particularly the rights of minorities, women, and the LGBTQ communities, and I explain it in ways we can understand so we can fight them.” Co-host Ana Navarro said, “I live in Florida, so I’m, like, on ground zero of where all of this is happening. I’m out of my mind about...

I’ll get right to the point. “The Batman” is hands-down the best film about the character that has been made so far. Yes, as a die-hard fan of the Christopher Nolan films, it is difficult for me to write this. But director Matt Reeves knocked it out of the park, the city, and the entire state when he made this movie.

Sean Hannity Caught Suggesting NATO Should Get Involved Against Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin placed his nuclear forces on high alert Sunday, generating concern among defense experts that Russia could trigger a nuclear attack or, in a nightmare scenario, all-out nuclear war. Some military analysts see the move as a strategic response to Western sanctions, while others take it as a warning that Putin could resort to nuclear tactics if compelled. "I'm definitely worried," Irwin Redlener, a public-health expert at Columbia University who specializes in disaster preparedness, told Insider. "Sometimes, we might be tempted to dismiss such a statement, but in the context of what seems like a pretty unhinged...

Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg’s group Fridays for Future launched a series of rallies to protest Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The group said it plans to hold events in over 40 cities around the world. Fridays for Future specializes in “youth strikes” that involve students marching out of their classrooms to demand action on their climate change agenda. The same technique will evidently be used for the protests against Russia. “We are running a demonstration at 12 p.m., in the middle of the day, because the lives of the Ukrainian people have been stopped, not by their choice. We also...

KALININGRAD, Russia -- Igor Pleshkov owns a concrete factory in this Russian Baltic Sea exclave encircled by European Union members Lithuania and Poland. As tensions burn red hot between Russia and the West over Moscow’s military invasion of Ukraine, he is worried. “What will come next is hard to say,” he shrugged. “The situation is changing every minute -- for the worse.” Like Pleshkov’s factory, most businesses in the region of about 1 million people, depend on imports for raw materials, spare parts, and equipment. Residents are nervously watching the unfolding political situation and the alarming collapse of the value...
