Moscow (AFP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Thursday that Western penalties against Moscow for its military incursion in Ukraine would destabilise the global energy and food markets and vowed the country would emerge stronger from the crisis. Speaking at a televised government meeting on the 15th day of Moscow's advance into Ukraine, Putin said that Western sanctions on Moscow had begun to hurt the United States and Europe. "Their prices are rising, but that's not our fault. It's the result of their own miscalculations. There's no need to blame us," Putin said. While the 69-year-old Kremlin chief said Moscow...

The active compound in Chinese herbs called emodin can prevent colon cancer in mice, according to researchers at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. Physiologists conducting this study say this is likely due to emodin's ability to reduce the number of pro-tumor macrophages (a type of immune cell that can promote tumorigenesis). The study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology and has been chosen as an APSselect article for March. In addition to examining whether emodin could prevent colon cancer, researchers specifically wanted to know if its cancer-fighting properties "could...

Hillary Clinton is banging the drums for the United States to get involved in a European war. In her trusty opinion, as a former crack Secretary of State, we should "arm an insurgency to repel Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Here is Hillary's take on the subject: So, I think we have to watch this carefully. We have to provide sufficient military armaments for the Ukraine military and volunteers. And we have to keep tightening the screws.Clinton is an expert on tightening the screws and screwing over Americans trapped in Benghazi. Ringing any bells? Sean Smith, Ty Woods and Glen Doherty...

Vice President Kamala Harris was ridiculed for appearing as a deer in headlights in response to a question on how the United States could assist in the plight of Ukrainian refugees during the Russian military invasion, even appearing to look to Polish President Andrzej Duda for help. A reporter pressed Harris on the Ukrainian refugee crisis during her joint press conference with Duda in Poland Thursday, saying that according to a colleague's reporting, Poland would not be equipped to handle an influx of Ukrainian refugees. Her colleague said that, in its current state, the refugee system in Poland will collapse...

like President Volodomyr Zelensky’s former Press Secretary Iuliia Mendel – are wincing in distress at her unforced errors, saying what a “tragedy” it would be if she ever held the office of the United States presidency. After blowback, Mendel deleted that tweet, but her sentiment remains true. On the trip, Harris was not to make any deals, simply speak and carry with her a certain level of decorum that would imbue confidence in American leadership, Politico reported. But, as only Kamala can do, she wound up embarrassing the nation as she laughed while discussing the future of Ukrainian people fleeing...

First Week of Lent Matthew 7:7-12 Friends, today’s Gospel assures us of the power of prayer. When some people ask in a spirit of trust, really believing that what they are asking for will happen, it happens. Just as Jesus suggests in the Gospel, "Everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." The power of prayer is the confidence that we are being guided and cared for, even when that guidance and care are not immediately apparent. It is what allows someone to live in detachment from...

On inflation: 'How long do you guys think temporary is?' Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy cornered Press Secretary Jen Psaki on both her claims that inflation was likely to be temporary and the Biden administration’s repeated insistence that the rising cost of gas could be tied solely to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Doocy pointed to Psaki’s claim, made a short time earlier in Thursday’s White House press briefing, that economists were predicting that inflation would begin to resolve by the end of the year — and he noted that the Biden administration had been claiming that inflation would...

In contrast to SARS and MERS, there is no direct evidence for a natural spillover of COVID-19. Neither the virus nor antibodies to the virus have been identified in animals sampled in Wuhan in 2019 or early 2020. In an article currently undergoing peer review, Gao et al. found that zero out of 457 samples taken from 18 species of animals sampled in Wuhan in early 2020 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. In addition, no correlation has been observed between human occupational exposures to animals and higher rates of infection or seropositivity to the virus.

DUBAI (Reuters) - By single-handedly knocking 13% off rocketing oil prices on one day this week, the United Arab Emirates demonstrated the power Gulf producers wield in the market and sent a wake-up call to Washington to pay closer attention to its longtime allies. OPEC heavyweights Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which both bear grudges against Washington, have snubbed U.S. pleas to use their spare output capacity to tame rampant crude prices which threaten global recession after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This was deliberate," Gulf Research Center Chairman Abdulaziz Sager said of the conflicting UAE comments, adding that the message...

But the White House has blamed the massive price hike only on the war, dubbing it “Putin’s price hike.” The White House has also claimed that the oil...

Parents are “not entitled” to know their kids’ gender identity, according to a recent woke training session in the Eau Claire Area School District. Empower Wisconsin has obtained a copy of a training slide from last Friday’s staff development session. The 2021-22 Equity session on Safe Spaces reminds teachers that “parents are not entitled to know their kids’ identities.
