A new poll has found that 35 percent of Americans support U.S. military action supporting Ukraine, even if it risks nuclear conflict with Russia. The Pew Research Center survey found comparable numbers of people in both parties (36 percent of Republicans, 35 percent of Democrats) who favor risking a nuclear war. “However, most Americans (62%) say they would oppose the U.S. ‘taking military action even if it risks a nuclear conflict with Russia.’ About a third (35%) of Americans say they would favor military action in this scenario,” the Pew pollsters report. Large majorities of both parties reported that they...

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who resigned over the summer in disgrace over a barrage of sexual harassment allegations, is said to be considering mounting a primary challenge to his successor, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D).

The Department of Justice on Wednesday unveiled three cases against Chinese nationals accused of trying to suppress dissent against China's government on U.S. soil. Indictments unsealed by DOJ detail alleged plots to prevent the candidacy of a U.S. Congress hopeful, including weighing attacking him; attempting to bribe a U.S. tax official to obtain information on a pro-democracy activist; and going after a one-time visiting scholar now working at the behest of China's Ministry of State Security. "This activity is antithetical to fundamental American values, and we will not tolerate it when it violates U.S. law," Matthew Olsen, the assistant attorney...

People used to sing this driving to the coast: “California here I come, right back where I started from…” Then: "Have you not heard about crime, taxes, gas prices, needles in the street, draconian laws. Need I go on?" Oh! Well then, a new tune: “California I am going away, Not going to stay here another day” And here they come to my Montana...hope they have learned their lesson. Met a man who just moved from Portland and he described himself as an "escapee". He described a hockey game where Antifa prohibited cheering for the first half and then only...

Ukraine has killed another Russian general in a further “serious blow to the morale” of the invading forces, a government adviser said Wednesday. Maj. Gen. Oleg Mityaev died Tuesday during the storming of Ukraine’s most devastated city, Mariupol, according to Interior Ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko — who later posted a photo of the body. Mityaev would be at least the fourth general killed during the invasion, which Kremlin officials are reportedly calling a complete “cluster-–-.’’ Mityaev, 46, commanded the 150th Motorized Rifle Division and had fought in Syria, Gerashchenko said, saying his body was found with “the shoulder straps of...

Until recently, geochronologist Li Xian-Hua’s research focused on molten rocks on Earth. But when a Chinese spacecraft delivered the country’s first rocks from the Moon in December 2020, Li pivoted to study them. “I’m a new person working on extra-terrestrial rocks,” says Li, who is based at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics (IGG) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Li is one of many planetary scientists in China who have had the chance to study lunar rocks for the first time. The samples, collected by the Chang’e-5 spacecraft, are the first brought back to Earth since NASA’s...

Former President Donald Trump is acknowledging that his not-yet-launched 2024 presidential bid would not include his former vice president. Trump told the Washington Examiner his hypothetical run for re-election would most likely not select former Vice President Mike Pence as his running mate. "I don't think the people would accept it," Trump said, alluding to his supporters' anger with Pence for failing to support Trump's false claim he actually won the 2020 race. Trump wanted Pence to somehow overturn the election's results during the congressional certification of the Electoral College votes, notes the Examiner, but Pence explained he didn't have...

While running for president in 2016, Donald Trump promised he would be a different kind of Republican, particularly when it came to foreign policy. Running on an “America First” platform, he promised to tear up trade deals championed by both parties, misleadingly bragged that he had always been against the Iraq War and promised to have a “very, very good relationship” with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also questioned the relevance of the NATO alliance. “We’re taking care of, as an example, the Ukraine. I mean, the countries over there don’t seem to be so interested,” Trump said when discussing...

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough made clear his anger at any people who dared to offer "snarky" critiques of President Biden's "historic" handling of the Ukraine situation.

Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, who backed Donald Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, is preparing for a 2024 Senate run that could pit him against Sen. Mitt Romney in a GOP primary. Reyes, who has been elected statewide three times, in recent weeks has discussed the matter with key players in Utah politics and with allies of the former president, according to a person who is familiar with Reyes' plans. Reyes will make a final decision and likely announce his intentions in May. “Sean is very seriously considering running, regardless if Mitt runs or not,” the person...

More than a dozen House Democrats are calling on the Department of Justice to address "insider threats" that they say candidates for state and local election posts, who believe the 2020 election was stolen, pose to the nation's election systems. "Unfortunately, many of the candidates seeking to fill newly vacated state and local election posts support former President Trump's false claim that the 2020 election was stolen," wrote the Democrats, including Rep. Adam Schiff, a member of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection. Reps. Deborah Ross of North Carolina, Ruben Gallego of Arizona and Terri Sewell...

Jussie Smollett's attorneys want the actor released from jail while they appeal his conviction of lying to Chicago police about a racist and homophobic attack and the 150-day jail sentence a judge handed down The way Smollett's attorneys see it, such an order is justified because it's almost certain that Smollett would complete his 150-day jail sentence — which could shrink to 75 days if he behaves himself in jail — before the appeals on the conviction and sentence are decided. They also say it's important that Smollett be released because they are worried about his mental health if he...

Prosecutors have decided they will not press charges against the white man who shot and killed his black co-worker during a camping trip. Vernango County (Pennsylvania) District Attorney Shawn White made the announcement Tuesday 'This is my call,' he added. 'I believe it's the right one.'

He was the only black man invited on a hunting trip in rural Rockland Township with four other people December 12. Spencer, who immigrated to America in 2013, worked in construction and contracting, and was asked...

Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is seeking a $125 million arbitration award, claiming the network wrongly terminated him, the TV host's legal team said Wednesday. Cuomo was let go after it emerged that he played an active role in advising his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, when the latter was fighting to stay in office as women accused him of sexual harassment. "It should, by now, be obvious to everyone that Chris Cuomo did not lie to CNN about helping his brother," Chris Cuomo's attorney Bryan Freedman said in a statement. "In fact, as the limited information released from...

Snack companies are always scrambling to figure out what the next hot flavor is, because The Market demands ever-changing options even though the perfection of sour cream and onion is right there. Chip and pretzel and puff makers experiment with making things pickle-y, or spicy, or putting spice on top of the other flavors, or making snacks taste like completely other meals, like pizza. But the latest trend isn’t a flavor at all. It’s a method, which in many ways leads to the absence of flavor, but which also is for many exactly the point. Get excited to buy burnt...
