Russian Ships Sink in the port of Berdyansk Today giving the opening hours of Day 29 an interesting surprise. The news didn't stop there as thorugh the rest of the day the Ukrainian and Russian forces battled it out across the entirety of the country, from Kyiv to Kherson. I hope you all enjoy the stream!

If history is any guide, we will look back at this moment with regret once the passion of the hour has passed. The United States is now overwhelmed with propaganda pushing for Americans to “stand with Ukraine” in its war with Russia. It is not enough to wish the people of Ukraine well. The media, Big Tech, and both political parties have made being a partisan of Ukraine some kind of moral duty. Those refusing to get swept up in anti-Russian hysteria can expect to be condemned as traitors and agents of Vladimir Putin. Contrary to the claims of self-righteous...

Russian precision-guided missiles are failing up to 60% of the time in Ukraine, three US officials with knowledge of intelligence on the issue told Reuters, a possible explanation for the poor progress of Russia's invasion. Since President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, Russia has failed to achieve basic objectives such as neutralizing Ukraine's air force despite a vastly larger armed forces. The US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the information, did not provide evidence to support the assessment and did not disclose what precisely was driving high Russian...

About 300 people died in a Russian airstrike last week on a theater being used as a bomb shelter in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol, the city’s government said Friday, citing eyewitnesses. When the theater was struck March 16, an enormous inscription reading “CHILDREN” was posted outside in Russian, intended to be visible from the skies above. It was not immediately clear whether emergency workers had finished excavating the site or how the eyewitnesses arrived at the horrific death toll. Soon after the airstrike, Ludmyla Denisova, the Ukrainian Parliament’s human rights commissioner, said more than 1,300 people had been...

Interestingly, this fact has been kept far away from Canadian and American news consumers. Biden’s not the only North American leader in Europe right now. As the Canadian National Post reports, Justin Trudeau gave an address to the European Parliament in which he focused on (don’t laugh) “rising threats to democracies.” What the National Post left out of the report is the fact that several Parliamentarian representatives loudly castigated Trudeau in the harshest terms because he is a threat to democracy. On March 23, the National Post had a long article detailing the topics that Trudeau covered. He spoke of...

(Video) January 6th, Antifa at the Capitol trying to break in. Definitely NOT Trump supporters.

The time for polite consideration is over; good sense, courage, and strength demand a Nay vote on her appointment. For crying out loud, it’s 2022 and, in the federal government women are still being promoted based on their looks rather than their qualifications for the job. And by POTUS no less! Well, Biden is just a derivative iteration of Harvey Weinstein. Around twenty years ago, he twice participated in filibustering (Black, female) Judge Janice Rogers Brown’s nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals. She finally was approved in 2005. Then, Biden advised President Bush that if he dared to nominate...

Pasquale died, and in his will he had provided for an elaborate $40,000 funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Angelina turned to her oldest and dearest friend, “Ah, Pasquale would be pleased," she said. "You're right," replied Maria, who then lowered her voice and leaned in close. "So, go on, how much did this really cost?” "All of it," said Angelina. "Forty thousand dollars.” "Aw, No!", Maria exclaimed, "I mean, it was a very grand affair, but $40,000?” Angelina answered, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church. The whiskey, wine and snacks were...

"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." "Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities,...

An intercepted conversation between two Russian FSB officers, published by Ukrainian military intelligence, reveals another senior military officer has been killed. Russian forces in Kharkiv have accidentally taken out their own secure communications systems by destroying the 3G towers they depend on, it has been reported. Ukraine's military has shared an intercepted call captured as a result, reporting the death of Major General Vitaly Gerasimov to someone identified as a senior Russian intelligence officer by Bellingcat's Christo Grozev. The incident is the latest evidence of the technological and equipment challenges facing Russia's invasion force, as indicated by photographs of civilian...

The charges include armed robbery, possession of a firearm, auto theft, flight from an officer and – in one case alone – 18 burglaries related to car break-ins. NEW ORLEANS — Of the four teenaged defendants who appeared in juvenile court Wednesday after being booked in the fatal carjacking of 73-year-old Linda Frickey, who was dragged to her death Monday afternoon in front of horrified witnesses, 17-year-old John Honore stood out. Not only because Honore's three co-defendants were 15-year-old females, but because of the number of times he has been in that court over the past several years. WWL-TV obtained...

There is a “realistic possibility” that Russian forces “facing considerable supply and morale issues” may be encircled by Ukrainian counter-attackers near Kyiv (Kiev). “Ukraine is increasing pressure on Russian forces north-east of Kyiv. Russian forces along this axis are already facing considerable supply and morale issues,” the British government’s Ministry of Defence asserted in a Defence Intelligence update on Wednesday. “Ukrainian forces are carrying out successful counter attacks against Russian positions in towns on the outskirts of the capital, and have probably retaken Makariv and Moschun,” they continued, adding that “There is a realistic possibility that Ukrainian forces are now...

Let's have some fun!

A circular firing squad is forming in the Kremlin, with everyone pointing their guns at each other: Vladimir Putin's regime looks under serious threat for the first time since he came to power, writes Professor MARK GALEOTTI Western counter-intelligence campaigns are being aimed at the secretive FSB In Russia, anyone can be denounced as a warmonger or a traitor, or even both Putin has been picking off key figures in the secret police, the FSB, and politicians in a bid to retain his hold on power as the war continues When the demonic despot Joseph Stalin suffered a severe stroke...

Celebration canceled over violations of FBI commitment to nonpartisanship The Washington Free Beacon received an internally circulated email from the FBI's Los Angeles Women's and Black Affairs Committees, dated March 11, that advertised a "save the date" for an interview with the agency's assistant director in charge for the L.A. field office and a "nomination party" for Jackson on March 23. The event was first reported on Tuesday by Tucker Carlson Tonight. Another email was sent by a member of the field office's Diversity and Inclusion department on the following day, March 12, to cancel the celebration for Jackson. The...

When CTH outlined the ‘Destination Handbasket’ framework {Go Deep}, we had no idea Blackrock CEO Larry Fink was essentially going to confirm the premise of our prediction. Keep in mind, any digital currency can only work if there is a digital identity attributed to it – what some have called a digital passport which then creates a crypto wallet. I have based the framework, of what appears to be over the horizon, on a set of inevitable geopolitical outcomes if the current path is continued. The letter by Blackrock CEO Larry Fink [LINK] seems to affirm the strongest likelihood of...

The ferry operator sacked 800 of its staff by video call today, replacing them with cheap agency workers Nigel Farage has slammed P&O Ferries for making hundreds of staff redundant with immediate effect. Speaking on GB News, Nigel Farage said: "How are we going to protect British workers? Is this just the modern, globalised world that we live in? "This is one of the most cynical sackings I have ever seen in my life. "People who voted Brexit voted for better than this. The government had better have a very very rapid think about how it responds. "It's a disgrace....

“Squishy and smooth, kids and adults alike will love the soothing sensory experience of Orbeez!” Spin Master Ltd., the company behind Orbeez, explains on its website. “There’s no limit to the ways you can play. Explode them, squish them, squeeze them, bounce them, crush them or let them flow through your hands! Use your imagination and have endless amounts of fun with Orbeez!” The official description sounds innocuous enough. But the polymer beads also play a central role in a viral social media trend popular among teens and have caused serious injuries across the country. The so-called Orbeez Challenge—which may...

The man who helped his roommate skip town after killing two people at a Clovis bar is now officially serving a jail sentence. The victims' families talked about that pain in court Thursday, and also about the hatred they feel towards the shooter and the man they say is just as much to blame. Savannah Gonzalez didn't pull any verbal punches when she talked about Anthony Guzman. "I can't even express the hate we feel towards you," she said. "To say we hate you is actually an understatement." Her brother-in-law was 21-year-old Merehildo Luna. Police say Eddie Cordero gunned down...
