Campaign records show that one of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's top donors is a Soviet-born billionaire with close ties to sanctioned Russian oligarchs, the New York Post reported. Hochul, D-N.Y., became governor in August after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace amid numerous sexual harassment allegations. She now is running to earn a full term. Len Blavatnik, a 64-year-old aluminum and oil tycoon, donated $69,700 — the maximum allowed — to Hochul's campaign, according to records filed with the state Board of Elections, the Post reported.

Monday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich sounded the alarm over the threat posed by China as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues. Gingrich warned that Chinese President Xi Jinping “is fully as tough as [Russian President Vladimir] Putin” and suggested President Joe Biden should “prove that we’re prepared to defend Taiwan” should the Chinese Communist Party invade.

The Oroville Dam in northern California is the nation’s tallest dam and it creates the state’s second-largest reservoir. In February of 2017, an atmospheric river dumped a huge amount of snow then a huge amount of rain into the reservoir’s watershed. A 30-foot wall at the top of the dam, called the weir, nearly gave way to the volumes of water and 188,000 people had to be evacuated. “Rainfall from the atmospheric river was enhanced by about 11 to 15 percent by climate change, compared to what it would have been in pre-industrial times,” said Alexander Gershunov, a research meteorologist...

Moscow is recruiting Syrians skilled in urban combat to fight in Ukraine as Russia’s invasion is poised to expand deeper into cities, according to U.S. officials. An American assessment indicates that Russia, which has been operating inside Syria since 2015, has in recent days been recruiting fighters from there, hoping their expertise in urban combat can help take Kyiv and deal a devastating blow to the Ukraine government, according to four American officials. The move points to a potential escalation of fighting in Ukraine, experts said. It is unclear how many fighters have been identified, but some are already in...

In a shocking demonstration of bipartisan unity and dispatch, an emergency bill radically altering party precinct representation was filed, passed both GOP-controlled legislative chambers and was signed by Republican Governor Douglas A. Ducey Jr., all on Thursday. The new law is a direct assault on the Precinct Strategy, which encourages conservative voters to get involved in their local Republican Party by becoming precinct committeemen, said Daniel Schultz, author of the 2017 book “How to Get Into the Real Ball Game of Politics Where You Live to Help President Donald J. Trump Make America Great Again” and the creator of the...

'I am fearful of them trying to do to us what they did to those involved to Jan 6'.. HAGERSTOWN, MD — An anti-COVID-19 restriction trucker convoy circling the nation’s capital will not be entering Washington, D.C. — at least not yet, organizers said Monday. Organizer Brian Brase spoke to members of the convoy early Monday morning at Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland, where the convoy had camped out for the night. Brase told the assembled crowd that the convoy would not be entering the capital yet out of fear that it would be cast in the same light as the...

If you don't want to watch the entire 18 minute video, here are some key points regarding Red Eagle Politics (REP) predictions. A Trump/Mike Garcia (Conservative Hispanic, military veteran and a Congressional Rep from CA) ticket will defeat Biden/Harris 316 to 222 EVs.

Trump will win TX, GA, FL, PA , MI, AK and OH and all the Mountain states except CO...

Republican lawmakers are warning that any Department of Justice prosecution of former President Trump will turn into a political battle, setting a high bar for Attorney General Merrick Garland to act on an expected criminal referral from the House’s Jan. 6 committee. The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol previewed its likely referral to the Justice Department in a court filing made public last week and experts say the evidence assembled by House investigators would provide a strong impetus for prosecutors to act. But Republican lawmakers and strategists warn that any federal prosecution of Trump...

To make a space crystal, you need the immense pressures of the Earth’s surface bearing down on minerals and magma. But to make a time crystal, you need esoteric equations and ridiculously precise lasers. At least, that’s how physicists shaped the first self-standing time crystal in a lab last year. Now, they’ve turned into an even more tangible object by creating a time crystal from common elements that can withstand room temperature. If you’re wondering what a time crystal is (outside of pulp science fiction), most physicists also had the same question until pretty recently. It’s a form of matter...

VIDEOUntil recently Democrats and liberals slammed the Surgeon General of Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapo. However, they now suddenly AGREE with him on the subject of cloth masks as you can see.

The United Nations’ latest landmark climate report is a tome more than twice the length of the Bible. To compile it, hundreds of scientists from all over the world pored over thousands of studies, summarizing the latest authoritative scientific information. Here’s a taste of what the report includes: Percent of the world population currently exposed to potentially deadly heat for 20 or more days a year: 30 Percent that could be exposed to deadly heat for 20 or more days a year by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions continue growing at the present rate: up to 76 Number of people...

The mother-in-law of Fox News star Greg Gutfeld was safely evacuated from Ukraine and tearfully reunited with her daughter in Poland last week. Gutfeld, the co-host of “The Five,” played a video on the air showing the dramatic moment his wife, Elena, met her mother after she crossed the border separating Ukraine and Poland. “Just to let everybody know my mother-in-law crossed into … Poland about half an hour ago, so she’s in a car on her way to Warsaw to see her daughter, Elena,” Gutfeld said on the air. When he introduced the clip of his wife and mother-in-law...

Maybe it is time to go to war. Putin "the bully" has invaded Ukraine and is randomly killing innocent civilians. China is salivating over the prospect of consuming Taiwan like a slimy, fat snake eyeballing a tiny white mouse. Korea is flinging rockets around like a 4 year old toddler and Iran, with the moronic help of Biden, is creeping closer to developing a nuclear weapon. Now that I have your attention, I propose that we go to war.........but not with Russia, China, Korea or even Iran. We would be fighting the wrong enemy. WWII ended in 1945. The United...

Pizza Hut, unsatisfied with making kids fat, also wants to make them racist. The stale franchise chain has supplemented its menu of lightly charred cardboard covered in tasteless glops of something that a blind hobo might mistake for cheese with racism. While Pizza Hut focuses on poisoning children with such horrible concoctions as cheeseburger crust pizza, fish and chips pizza, and sushi cream cheese pizza, the Pizza Hut Foundation is hard at work teaching students that America is racist and white people suck. The training materials intended for use in the classroom want teachers to ask 10-year-olds, “How often have...

I can't get "narrator" or "speak" to read a Word document. I've looked up a ton of help articles and videos already.

Dozens of high school and college students rallied...before boarding a bus to Tallahassee to protest against what many opponents have termed the "Don't Say Gay" bill.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and other elected officials sent them on their way.

When the European colonial powers in Southeast Asia were preoccupied with Hitler, Japanese imperial forces swept down and occupied the lands to the north of Australia and threatened Australia too. But the fighting spirit of diggers on the Kokoda track and American military might backed by formidable industrial power drove the invaders back. But now totalitarian cancer is threatening Australia from within. A new breed of libertarian probusiness politicians like Adam La Rosa are fighting back. Ordinary people running for parliament. There is hope.
