Conservative Christian satire website The Babylon Bee has been suspended by Twitter over a tweet naming transgender US Assistant Secretary of Health Dr Rachel Levine its 'Man of the Year.' Despite facing the prospect of a permanent ban from the social media platform, where it has 1.3 million followers, the website has struck a defiant tone, refusing to delete the offending tweet targeting the trailblazing government official. 'Truth is not hate speech,' Seth Dillon, the website's CEO, tweeted on Sunday. 'If the cost of telling the truth is the loss of our Twitter account, then so be it.' On March...

“I think it’s a little naive to think that we can keep ratcheting up our assistance to the Ukrainians, whether through the provision of more and more advanced weapons, intelligence, targeting intelligence … and we’re just going to expect Moscow to accept that and not do anything in response?” Federalist Senior Editor John Daniel Davidson asked.“What disturbs me is that we’re not even having a debate about this,” he added. “The people who are calling for this escalation on the part of the West, of the U.S. and NATO allies, are not even acknowledging that there’s a risk involved. Just...

Six million displaced. Three million refugees. Thousands of civilians dead. Hundreds of children murdered. The world hasn’t seen statistics like these since Hitler went on a land grab in the late 1930s. Germany, however, didn’t have nuclear weapons and an international alliance propping them up. Putin has openly implied he’d use his nuclear arsenal and has already received support from Belarus, Chechnya, Syria, Iran and China. (Not to mention formerly independent regions like Georgia and Crimea.)

The center is not holding, things are falling apart. We have moved on from mass psychosis over vaccines to mass psychosis over the urgent need to go to war with Russia. The sanctions are bad enough; the early economic fallout from them is already causing pain for working and middle-class Americans. But we did sanctions last week, the public demands more. Do something, even if that thing is horrifying in its implications. Two years of pent-up dissociated rage is being channeled and redirected at an external target by the same people responsible for the response to COVID-19, among the worst...

With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine now approaching its fourth week, President Vladimir Putin’s forces have exerted brutal force and destruction on the eastern European nation, forcing people to flee and making millions homeless. Russia’s economy is now creaking under the immense weight of international sanctions and the costs of war, having largely failed to achieve major military victories in Ukraine. Close watchers of Moscow, and Putin, say there are increasing signs of desperation in Russia’s military campaign and siege tactics. “I don’t think Russia can win,” Kurt Volker, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, told CNBC.

European politicians were so overwhelmed that they nominated him for a Nobel prize. The likes of David Frum are claiming “Ukraine may be the first example in human history of a country that under the pressure of war is...
