Since Putin's devastating invasion of Ukraine began, 300 companies have announced their withdrawal from Russia in protest.Nevertheless, some western companies have continued to operate in Russia undeterred; we identify several dozen companies with particularly significant exposure to Russian markets. In the days since we initially published our list, many of the "remain" companies have responded to public backlash and decided to withdraw, and we are continuously revising our list to reflect these decisions as they are made. The full, current list of companies that have curtailed operations in Russia as well as those that remain, as of March 8, can...

Vladimir Putin is a brutal, violent, vicious dictator. There’s no doubt about it. There’s only one bad guy in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. This war is on him. But the feelings of impotence as we sit in the most powerful nation on earth and helplessly watch an enemy ruthlessly bomb an ally should serve as a wake-up call. When America is weak and inconsistent, the world is more dangerous. Our nation’s politicians and business elites have made years of stupid decisions that have weakened this country to such a degree that we are paralyzed when a madman with nuclear weapons is...

Robert Kennedy Jr. tweeted out a report from his organization the Children’s Health Defense on Tuesday on CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky’s recent talk in St. Louis. Walensky spoke at a Washington University event where she admitted that the medical elites relied too much on the vaccine as a “cure-all” and disregarded treatments. This is something the rest of us already knew. There was not prescribed treatment for COVID patients and now nearly one million Americans are dead! During the interview, Walensky said she learned COVID vaccines were effective from watching CNN. She also admitted health officials relied too heavily...

The 54-year-old coach had entered a Mississippi hospital with three “life-threatening” femoral arterial blood clots, and at one point, he feared that he would lose his lower leg to the condition. Sanders told fans of his medical issues in which he said he is “thankful for GOD” for getting him through the frightening times. “I endured a lot while I was in the...

Rogers is George Soros’ former business partner who co-founded the Quantum Fund and Soros Fund Management. He was asked about the outlook for the U.S. dollar and where he sees the dollar index headed. “I own U.S. dollars partly because when turmoil comes, people look for a safe haven.

A deleted web article recovered by The National Pulse reveals that former President Barack Obama spearheaded an agreement leading to the construction of biolabs handling “especially dangerous pathogens” in Ukraine. The news comes on the same day that Biden regime apparatchik Victoria Nuland told the U.S. Senate that the American government is concerned about biological research facilities falling into Russian hands as a result of the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe. Originally posted on June 18th, 2010, the article “Biolab Opens in Ukraine” details how Obama, while serving as an Illinois Senator, helped negotiate a deal to build a level-3...

Chicago's powerful teachers' union, which kept public schools shuttered through much of the pandemic, cited the death of a mother in the school district as proof of the dangers of COVID-19 in the classroom and reason for greater health restrictions. But the woman's death had nothing to do with the coronavirus, according to her autopsy report, which found she drank herself to death. A toxicology report obtained by Chicago City Wire found that Denisha Henry, 32, died last September of "chronic ethanolism," a phrase commonly used in coroners' reports to describe deaths caused by alcoholism. But the Chicago Teachers Union...

President Biden and congressional Democrats united Tuesday behind a ban on Russian oil and natural gas imports, embracing a politically risky strategy that is expected to drive up already-rising fuel prices while seeking to pin the blame for Americans’ pain at the pump on Vladimir Putin. In a speech announcing the ban, Biden acknowledged it would probably result in more expensive gas for consumers in the United States, a potentially perilous admission for a president who has been scrambling to head off Republican attacks over the rising cost of groceries, rent and other items. Biden frequently named the Russian president...

As if the world doesn’t have enough problems, people are now worried that an evil demon locked in a rock for almost 1,000 years is on the loose. The so-called ‘killing stone’ that kept the malevolent spirit imprisoned all this time has split in two, sending believers into a state of panic.

If not, why not? Biden warned everyone weeks prior to the Russian invasion that the invasion was certain to happen in the coming days or weeks. Now it seems they're suddenly concerned with the contents of these bio labs. Would this concern not be weeks too late?

Guy Reffitt, the first man to stand trial for his involvement in the Capitol protest on January 6, 2021, has been found guilty on all counts. A jury in the District of Columbia deliberated for roughly three hours before finding Reffitt guilty on five charges—including one controversial count of obstruction of an official proceeding, a charge dismissed by a federal judge yesterday in a separate January 6 case—raising concerns that January 6 defendants will not find an impartial jury in a city that voted nearly 94 percent for Joe Biden. He was represented by a court-appointed attorney. Reffitt did not...

Alec Baldwin responded to the lawsuits seeking to hold him accountable for last year’s fatal shooting on the set of the indie western Rust, claiming he is being targeted because he is wealthy. The Boss Baby and Saturday Night Live star made the comments during a public event at the Boulder International Film Festival in Colorado on Saturday. “What you have is a certain group of people, litigants and whatever, on whatever side, who their attitude is, ‘well the people who likely seem negligent have no money and the people who have money are not negligent,’ ” Baldwin said, according...

Jersey City officials and a coalition of Hudson County bike groups have opposed the New Jersey Turnpike Authority’s plans to widen the Hudson County extension through Bayonne and Jersey City to the Holland Tunnel and replace the aging Newark Bay bridge. The opposition is based on concerns the project won’t alleviate congestion and would create more traffic and air pollution from vehicles cutting through Bayonne and Jersey City neighborhoods when traffic backs up on the extension. Bike advocates have a powerful ally, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who had a letter sent on the city’s behalf, asking the Turnpike Authority...

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told Californians that he was working on a potential rebate to offset the escalating costs of gas as prices broke historic records across the country Tuesday. “No one's naive about the moment we're living with high gas prices and the geopolitical uncertainty that's fueling them,” Newsom said during his State of the State address. “I'll be submitting a proposal to put money back in the pockets of Californians to address rising gas prices.”

President Biden phoned the parents of Trevor Reed, a former U.S. Marine detained in Russia, on Tuesday to “reiterate his commitment to doing everything he can to bring their son home,” according to a White House official.
