Lesley Stahl has quite a career of lies. Her most famous interview to date was when she lied repeatedly to the American public in her interview with President Trump in October 2020 before the presidential election. Stahl was carrying water for the Biden crime family. She must be very proud. The country is doing so well. You can thank the far left hacks in the fake news media for doing their best to lie to the American public about Joe Biden and his family’s crimes. To this day the mainstream media still won’t report on Joe’s obvious dementia that is...

Virtually all Americans believed, until the inauguration of Donald Trump as president on January 20, 2017, that when someone became president, he could begin to implement his agenda. Certainly Old Joe Biden’s handlers have done so with a vengeance since they took over; but when Trump became president, he immediately began to encounter resistance from entrenched members of the government bureaucracy who refused to do as he ordered. Some worked actively against Trump, while the establishment media assured us that these self-appointed “deep state” saboteurs were the courageous guardians of “our democracy.” At his South Carolina rally Saturday night,...

The Kremlin on Friday called comments by U.S. President Joe Biden about his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin "personal insults" and said Biden's remarks appeared to have been fuelled by irritation, fatigue and forgetfulness. -snip- "We hear and see statements that are actually personal insults to President Putin," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "Given such irritability from Mr Biden, his fatigue and sometimes forgetfulness...fatigue that leads to aggressive statements, we will not make harsh assessments, so as not to cause more aggression."

The Islamic State (ISIS) is back. Five years after Donald Trump entered the Oval Office and quickly brought about the destruction of its caliphate in Iraq and Syria, ISIS is resurgent and wealthy. Could this have anything to do with Old Joe Biden’s misrule? Of course. To be sure, there are other factors at play as well. An Iraqi security official said Friday that “recent assessments … put the group’s reserves at between $25 million and $50 million.” That could be a conservative estimate: the Wall Street Journal reported in September 2020 that ISIS had “assets ranging into the...

Palestinian propagandists and their willing collaborators in the Western media have been bewailing the fact that the Palestinians haven’t been given the sympathy that is being lavished on Ukrainians, even though their situations – they claim — are identical, for both Ukrainians and Palestinians are brave peoples being denied their national rights by their oppressors, Russia and Israel, respectively. Sean Durns reports scathingly on this latest Palestinian effort to win international sympathy here: “Media Outlets Use Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine to Attack Israel,” Algemeiner, March 10, 2022: …Russia’s invasion of Ukraine isn’t anything like Israel’s security situation. Indeed, there...

Editors' note: Below is an exchange between Frontpage contributors Daniel Greenfield and Joseph Puder on Israel and the Russia-Ukraine War. We hope our readers will find this dialogue/debate between two of Frontpage's finest to be thought-provoking and enlightening. *Joseph Puder: Israel and the Russian-Ukrainian War. Jerusalem seeking to mediate a delicate balancing act. Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett flew to Moscow on Saturday, March 5, 2022. This trip on the Sabbath for an Orthodox Sabbath observing, kippah-wearing Prime Minister was certainly unprecedented. Judaism however, permits the desecration of the Sabbath in order to save lives. Bennett’s mission was to try...

Paris (AFP) – The International Energy Agency on Friday urged governments to urgently implement measures to cut global oil consumption within months following supply fears stemming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The IEA also called on the OPEC+ group of oil-producing nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia to help "relieve the strain" on markets, while warning that the world faced the biggest shock to supply "in decades". With the threat that supplies of Russian oil could be cut even more, "there is a real risk that markets tighten further and oil prices escalate significantly in the coming months" as...

Marshall, Colin Powell and Harriet Tubman are among 87 candidates who have made the cut for the renaming of nine military installations that honor Confederate figures, including Fort Benning and Fort Gordon in Georgia.

The Federal Reserve’s Christopher “Fats” Waller thinks that your rates are too low. “The data is basically screaming at us to go 50 but the geopolitical events were telling you to go forward with caution. So those two factors combined pushed me” to support the 25 basis points increase, he said. “Going forward that will be an issue whether to think about going 50 in the next couple of meetings or not. But the data certainly seem to suggest that we move in that direction.” WIRP is pricing in over 7 rate increases by February 2023 as the Treasury yield...

Contrary to popular belief, the wars of tomorrow won’t be fought in the trenches. They’ll be fought in labs and lecture halls around the world. Powerful minds, rather than powerful machines, will prevail. And if powerful machines are to prevail, then powerful minds will be required to create such machines. China, the United States’ biggest rival, is busy creating a new generation of individuals with powerful minds. In fact, according to the Center for Security and Emerging Technology, a think tank dedicated to examining international security and emerging technologies, based at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, China is fast...

---snip--- It was an amazing piece -- heartfelt, authentic, persuasive, un-spinny, and kind in tone. What's more, it made Joe Biden, who courted his idea of youthful social media influencers to spout his party line, not realizing that a whale of a social-media influencer with millions of followers and actual knowledge of Russia was sitting right there in the grizzled face of decrepit old Arnold Schwarzenegger. There was just one problem though: The nasty short passage in Schwarzenegger's message beginning at the 3:09-minute point comparing Vladimir Putin's scorched earth war on Ukraine with what he called the Jan. 6 "insurrection."

David Axelrod, Barack Obama’s former political consultant, curbed President Joe Biden’s constant claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin is somehow the only person responsible for soaring inflation numbers and skyrocketing gas prices — which started before the unprovoked attack on Ukraine. “Why not just be blunt with people … now they’ve overcorrected, and for a few days he [President Joe Biden] was saying, you know, everything was Putin’s price hikes, inflation was Putin’s fault,” Axelrod said during a recent episode on the Hacks on Tap podcast he helped start. “People don’t believe that either. They know that we had inflation...

Vladimir Putin has been cut off during an address to a huge rally in Russia on the eighth anniversary of the annexation of Crimea. The Russian President was mid-sentence when a state broadcast cut to patriotic songs – prompting confusion among audiences. He was speaking in front of 100,000 supporters at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium when the feed unexpectedly cut out and began playing a concert by singer and composer Oleg Gazmanov. A woman translating Mr Putin’s speech said: ‘The beginning of the operation coincided by accident with the birthday of one of our military leaders…’ before the feed cut out....

The death of Col Sergei Sukharev, of the 331st Guards Parachute Assault Regiment from Kostroma, was confirmed by state TV in Moscow.

His deputy Major Sergei Krylov was killed alongside him, said the report. They were among a number...

In a series of interviews on Thursday, Dr. Anthony Fauci reemerged from wherever he's been laying low to again threaten that Americans must be "flexible" and ready to return to mask mandates as the so-called "Stealth Omicron" sub-variant of COVID spreads. "We have to be careful," says the man who has been anything but when it comes to federal government edicts levied on Americans in the name of controlling COVID in an interview with the San Diego ABC affiliate. "If we do see a surge as a result of that, that we're flexible enough to reinstitute the kind of interventions...

You gotta hand it to a guy who convinces Democrats to die on the hill of defending perverted groomers talking about sex with little school kids. It's on-brand for their fellow travelers at The Lincoln Project, but you would think that Democrats actually want to win elections. But no – they want to make the schools safe for pedos, and they don't care who knows it. But they'll care plenty in November when parents around the country come out and vote for The Party of Not Hitting on Der Kinder. Donald Trump has his record of achievement – economic success...
