Russian Defence Ministry found evidence of US-funded biolabs in Ukraine, deadly pathogens destroyed.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine means that World War III has “likely already started,” according to billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. “In January 2020, I had nightmares about the potential for a pandemic, but everyone seemed to think I was crazy. I am having similar nightmares now,” Ackman tweeted on Saturday. He added: “WWIII has likely started already, but we have been slow to recognize it.”

As Russia invades Ukraine, shelling civilians and reportedly committing war crime-level brutality, President Biden has put harsh sanctions to Kremlin-tied businesses, banks and oligarchs, but not the oil and gas industry. -snip- Experts say that U.S. oil and gas supply could likely recover from a Russia ban as their fuel accounts for a small share of total product, and the nation could turn to wells here at home or ask other nations to increase supply. Where does the US get its oil? Russia is the third largest exporter of crude oil and petroleum products to the U.S. America gets most...

Fuel stations in Los Angeles County were also selling premium gasoline for more than $7.00 a gallon. One gas station in Los Angeles was advertising gas for $6.99.

For better and worse, “Turning Red” is like no Pixar film before it. The film, directed by Domee Shi, who made the lovely Oscar-winning short “Bao,” is the first Pixar movie directly solely by a woman. Its leadership team, including producers and art departments, is entirely female. And its protagonist, 13-year-old Meilin Lee (voiced by Rosalie Chiang), is a Chinese-Canadian eighth-grader in the throws of puberty. For Pixar, a factory of childhood whimsy designed to make adults cry, “Turning Red” fills in more than a few blind spots. Not only is the movie deeply rooted in a female and Asian-North...

They were identified as containing oil derived from cannabis, which could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years...

Girls! as Laurel Dodge. In the flick, Laurel finds...

An Ohio nursing assistant was arrested last week after authorities said she filmed herself raping and sexually assaulting several elderly male dementia patients at the assisted living facility where she worked. Tiara Lynn Ford, 23, was arrested Thursday and charged with one count of rape, a first-degree felony, and two counts of gross sexual imposition, both fourth-degree felonies, court records show. Ford, who worked as a state-tested nurse's aide at The Inn at University Village in Massillon, was arrested after authorities conducted a two-week investigation into the allegations, which included a number of 'video recordings of Ms. Ford sexually assaulting...

With America's eyes fixed on Ukraine, the Biden administration just gave Communist China its greatest gift yet. In a little-noticed February 23 university speech, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division announced the department would be terminating its preeminent counter-espionage program, the China Initiative. This comes as the Biden DOJ is ramping up its pursuit of Americans on the basis of purported "domestic terror" threats it has never explicitly defined or substantiated. The initiative was more than justified given China's penetration of America's schools, research centers and businesses. As FBI Director Christopher Wray recognized just...

With the US reportedly said to vote as soon as Tuesday on a proposal to ditch trade relations with Russia and Belarus, including suspending oil imports despite repeated objections from Germany which has stated that a collapse in supply threatens “social cohesion”, Russian Deputy PM Novak said that a ban on Russian oil would result in catastrophic consequences for global market according to Interfax, warning that Europe is pushing Russia towards an embargo on gas deliveries through Nord Stream 1, which is currently filled to maximum capacity, although Moscow has not taken this decision yet. Warning that “no one would...

Dow drops nearly 800 points as market turmoil from Russia-Ukraine war, inflation fears continues

Yanchang Wei and colleagues at Shanghai Jiao Tong University showed that parthenogenesis is possible in mammals through a targeted technique that edits DNA methylation marks, which are chemical modifications that can alter gene activity without changing the underlying DNA sequence. The authors applied the epigenetic rewriting approach to seven imprinting control regions in mouse oocytes, successfully modifying DNA methylation in one copy of the gene but not the other. The transfer of modified embryos into foster female mice then resulted in the generation of viable full-term offspring, the researchers said. 'Following parthenogenetic activation, these edited regions showed maintenance of methylation...

Spring in the northern hemisphere is two weeks away, and interest in planting gardens could rise as the breadbasket of Europe was choked off by the Russian invasions of Ukraine, jeopardizing global food exports resulting in skyrocketing prices. Even before the turmoil in Ukraine, American households were under pressure due to soaring food and gas prices. The invasion just made things a lot worse as commodity prices jumped the most last week since the stagflationary period of the mid-1970s. New UN global food price, released on Friday, showed global food prices in February surpassed a previous record set in 2011....

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Monday slammed the Biden administration’s secret oil meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as a “huge PR boost” for the socialist regime. “Biden Admin secret meeting with #Maduro was a huge PR boost for #MaduroRegime,” Rubio tweeted after Biden reportedly sought an oil deal with the socialist nation.

Five years ago, Ukraine’s Maidan uprising ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, to the cheers and support of the West. Politicians and analysts in the United States and Europe not only celebrated the uprising as a triumph of democracy, but denied reports of Maidan’s ultranationalism, smearing those who warned about the dark side of the uprising as Moscow puppets and useful idiots. Freedom was on the march in Ukraine. Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West’s initial euphoria. There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and...
