LONDON — Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the green light on Friday to bring in thousands of fighters from the Middle East to fight against Ukraine. At a meeting of Russia’s Security Council, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said there were 16,000 volunteers in the Middle East who were ready to come to fight with Russian-backed forces in the breakaway Donbass region of eastern Ukraine.

Jussie Smollett’s hate crime case ended dramatically on Thursday when a Chicago judge sentenced him to five months in jail for making a “disgraceful” scene to fake a hate crime, prompting the disgraced actor to scream out in protest: “I’m innocent!”

To the extent that American foreign policy encouraged Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine, more registered voters blame President Joe Biden than they do his predecessor, Donald Trump — and they're ready to punish Democrats for it in November, according to a new poll

In oral arguments on Tuesday, the justices of the Colorado Supreme Court grappled with questions about hospital price transparency in a case that shines a spotlight on the “chargemaster” — an obscure and seemingly inscrutable character in the drama of America’s healthcare affordability crisis. At the heart of the case is a billing dispute between Lisa French and St. Anthony North Health Campus north of Denver, which is run by Centura Health. French had elective spinal fusion surgery at the hospital in 2014. Before the surgery, the hospital gave French an estimate for the procedures stating she would likely owe...

The Bolivian soldier who executed Ernesto "Che" Guevara more than 50 years ago died this week at the age of 80. Mario Terán, part of a military group that captured the Argentinian-born revolutionary in 1967, succumbed to a long-term illness and is survived by his two children and his wife, according to The Guardian. “[Terán] simply complied with his duty as a sergeant of the army,” retired general Gary Prado, who reportedly led the group, told Radio Compañera, The Guardian reported. Terán had said he was only following orders when he killed Guevara, who had been on the run from...

(Reuters) - The World Health Organization advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country's public health laboratories to prevent "any potential spills" that would spread disease among the population, the agency told Reuters on Thursday. Biosecurity experts say Russia's movement of troops into Ukraine and bombardment of its cities have raised the risk of an escape of disease-causing pathogens, should any of those facilities be damaged. Like many other countries, Ukraine has public health laboratories researching how to mitigate the threats of dangerous diseases affecting both animals and humans including, most recently, COVID-19. Its labs have received support...

“A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight” (Proverbs 11:1 KJV).

Forget WW3, it’s WWW or World War Woke now. "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones," Einstein famously observed. Much as with quantum theory, the famous physicist was wrong. Whatever world war we're currently on is going to be fought by disinviting Russian cats from the International Cat Federation and removing digital images of Russian soccer players from video games, even as Putin’s tanks and infantry keep advancing across Ukraine. Putin might threaten to go nuclear, but the Lego company already pushed the red...

"And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?" "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council scheduled a meeting Friday at Russia’s request to discuss what Moscow claims are “the military biological activities of the U.S. on the territory of Ukraine,” allegations vehemently denied by the Biden administration.

If you're not first, you're last. That mindset of getting it done first, but not right, has destroyed the media over the past half-decade or so. I'm not saying they were batting 1.000, but post-2016—it collapsed completely. The Russian collusion delusion saw endless streams of nonsensical "bombshells" that turned out to be entertaining nothing burgers. ABC News tanked the markets with their shoddy report that Michael Flynn traveled to Russia during the 2016 election, except that he didn't. It was after Trump had won, he was president-elect and tapped his soon-to-be-national security adviser to contact the Russians, which happens with...

Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's membership in a Harvard University student group that once invited a controversial anti-Semitic speaker to campus has surfaced ahead of her confirmation hearings later this month. In 1992, Jackson was a member of the Harvard Black Students Association when they invited Leonard Jeffries, a professor known for making anti-Semitic remarks, to speak at the university, Fox News reports. According to the Anti-Defamation League, Jeffries first gained public attention in 1991, “when the New York Post published an account of a vitriolic anti-Semitic and racist speech he made on July 20 at the Empire...

In the wake of President Trump’s loss, the federal cybersecurity agency declared the vote to be perfectly secure. In the following months, federal prosecutors revealed that Iranian nationals had hacked into the state’s database and stolen 100,000 voter identities.In Wisconsin, Gov. Tony Evers called the idea of investigating the state’s 2020 election “outrageous.” But now, a pair of courts have ruled that state election officials altered rules illegally, allowing tens of thousands of voters to vote illegally.And that investigation Evers so stubbornly resisted just provided evidence that nursing home residents were exploited in fraudulent vote-collecting operations.Similarly, Georgia’s elections chief still...
