Ukraine’s president has accused invading Russian forces of using white phosphorus, a controversial chemical substance that can cause severe and indiscriminate harm to civilians. “This morning, by the way, there were phosphorus bombs. Phosphorus Russian bombs. Adults were killed again and children were killed again,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a virtual address to NATO leaders on Thursday, as the military alliance held an emergency The Washington Post has not been able to independently verify reports of white phosphorous being used in Ukraine. Though the chemical is infamous due to the extreme damage it can cause, other incendiary weapons and...

The Biden regime’s DOJ apparently needs to hire at least four new tort lawyers to help with vaccine injury cases against HHS — according to a new job posting on the federal government’s official hiring site USAJOBS.

BRUSSELS (AP) — With stunning speed, Russia’s war in Ukraine is driving Western Europe into the outstretched arms of the United States again, especially apparent when President Joe Biden offered a major expansion of natural gas shipments to his European Union counterpart Friday. Talking to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Biden said the core issue was “helping Europe reduce its dependency on Russian gas as quickly as possible.” And Europe, which relies on Moscow for 40% of the natural gas used to heat homes, generate electricity and drive industry, needs the help. An economic miscalculation with massive geopolitical...

Cranberries are famous for their distinct tart taste. However, new research by a team at King’s College London suggests this delicious fruit should be just as synonymous with healthy hearts. Scientists report eating just 100 grams of cranberries per day contributes to particularly robust cardiac functioning in healthy men. Even better, the cardiac benefits of cranberry consumption appeared almost immediately. A group of 45 healthy men took part in this project. Half the group consumed whole cranberry powder equivalent to 100g of fresh cranberries per day (9 grams of powder), while the second half took a placebo each day. Both...

Senator Joe Manchin was fiercely attacked by his fellow Democrats for his derailing the ambitious overhaul of the United States to better conform with the utopian society envisioned by climate change zealots. But he could be the man who resurrects President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda just in time for the midterm elections. The West Virginia lawmaker has apparently flip-flopped after he torpedoed Biden’s signature package, a $2 trillion bill that was filled with social engineering items and special interest money, pronouncing it “dead” during a conversation with reporters last month. Now Manchin is singing a different tune, telling...

Can spiritual and political leaders step up and end the conflict with Armenia? “One war doesn’t make you forget another war,” François-Xavier Bellamy, a French member of the European Parliament, said on March 10. While the world’s eyes are on Ukraine, the European Parliament still found time this month to condemn Azerbaijan’s war against Armenia’s sacred past. This solidarity is encouraging but insufficient. On Feb. 3 the Azerbaijani government announced that it would target hundreds of sacred sites that bear witness to Armenian Christian history in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. “A working group of specialists,” pro-government media quoted culture minister...

The attempted murder charge against an Oakland man who deliberately rammed his car at another driver last year has been dismissed after entering a plea deal. The Alameda County District Attorney's Office dismissed the charge against Daniel Won, now 20, after he pleaded no contest to the prosecution. He has been sentenced to a two-year probation as part of a plea deal instead. Won was charged for ramming his car at a man, identified as paramedic Joseph Lax, 29, in Oakland’s residential neighborhood of Montclair on Aug. 12, 2021. Lax and his two passengers reportedly got out of their car...

Deference to senior command is a hard-wired tradition in elite military organizations, and nowhere is that tradition more honored than in the U.S. Marine Corps. But what happens if a policy coming from the top of the chain of command is insufficiently tested or intrinsically flawed? Where is it written that a subordinate or former commander can set aside deference and demand a second look? For more than two years many of the Marine Corps’ finest former leaders have struggled with this dilemma as they quietly discussed a series of fundamental changes ordered, and in some cases already implemented, by...

Greitens is the ex-Democrat who changed into a Republican to become Missouri governor, a post he quit in disgrace one step ahead of impeachment by a GOP supermajority. There are plenty of accusations against him, including domestic abuse and tying his girlfriend up in the basement and snapping photos of her. Because Missouri is "50 shades of Red," his "50 shades of Grey" antics and his myriad other issues make him the only Republican capable of losing this race. And if we lose this seat, we likely lose the Senate. And if we lose the Senate, we may lose America.

As inflation continues to soar, gas prices skyrocket, and the southern border crisis goes unaddressed, President Joe Biden (D) spent time this week rubbing elbows with Hollywood stars as the cast of the Oscar-nominated movie CODA visited the White House. In a video posted to First Lady Jill Biden’s social media accounts, the cast — including Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur, Emilia Jones, and Daniel Durant — toured the White House and looked on as the U.S. Marine Band performed music from the movie.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) bluntly told scandal-ridden former Gov. Eric Greitens (R-MO), who is running for the US Senate, that he should be in handcuffs following a court filing by his ex-wife who is accusing him of spousal and child abuse. “If you hit a woman or a child, you belong in handcuffs, not the United States Senate,” Hawley asserted. “It’s time for Eric Greitens to leave this race.” Hawley has endorsed Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) for the Senate seat. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) endorsed Missouri state Attorney General Eric Schmitt (R). Greitens is currently the front-runner for the GOP’s...

Sporting a shiny leather jacket and aviator shades, the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un has starred in a Hollywood-style video for Pyongyang’s latest missile launch. Under Kim, North Korea has sought to give its state media a makeover with digital effects, seeking more modern ways to tell its stories. On Thursday, North Korea tested a huge intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in a test Kim said was designed to demonstrate the might of its nuclear force and deter any US military moves. State television broadcast a heavily produced video of the launch featuring flashy effects and edits. International online commentators compared...

PINE BLUFF, AR—The Russian invasion of Ukraine, China’s growing military threat, and Ketanji Brown Jackson’s inability to tell men from women have contributed to growing fear that World War III may be on the horizon. In response to this increased unease, liberals have begun to cozy up to their crazy, gun-toting MAGA neighbors—just in case they need some protection when everything "hits the fan."Gavin Gallgull and his wife Allysseeah are one such example of long-time liberals and Biden voters who are anxious to make friends with their Trump-loving neighbors, the Wessons.

The Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO) announced today they are likely to have the financial mechanism for a Russia-India currency exchange and trade process in place within a week. Previously, India announced their decision to continue purchasing oil from Russia despite the western sanctions. Prime Minister Modi is a pragmatic, tactical and shrewd business-minded politician.

The inside story of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, when Kyiv returned its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for ‘assurances’ from Moscow and Washington. Immediately after Ukraine signed its final agreement to renounce nuclear weapons in 1994, the country’s first president, Leonid Kravchuk, grimly remarked: “If tomorrow Russia goes into Crimea, no one will raise an eyebrow.” As we now know, that isn’t all Moscow would attempt to reclaim. Recently released archival documents demonstrate how American officials, adamant about the country’s denuclearization, ignored the sentiments of Ukraine’s postcommunist leaders, who were desperate to secure their new country. ...snip...

Intense light activates proteins shown to protect against lung damage in mice, a discovery that could have major therapeutic implications for treating acute lung injury in humans, according to a new study. "Acute lung injury has a mortality rate of 40%," said lead author Tobias Eckle, M.D. "No specific therapy exists, and novel treatment options are needed." Eckle's team, which previously demonstrated that light can protect against cardiovascular disease, housed mice under intense rather than ambient light for seven days. This prompted a strong increase in the trough and peak levels of the pulmonary circadian rhythm protein - Period 2...

The Russian government held a press conference Thursday claiming that Hunter Biden helped finance a US military 'bioweapons' research program in Ukraine However the allegations were branded a brazen propaganda ploy to justify president Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and sow discord in the US But emails and correspondence obtained by DailyMail.com from Hunter's abandoned laptop show the claims may well be true The emails show Hunter helped secure millions of dollars of funding for Metabiota, a Department of Defense contractor specializing in research on pandemic-causing diseases He also introduced Metabiota to an allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas firm, Burisma, for...

SANTA FE – New Mexico’s K-12 students will see a greater focus on race and ethnicity, including Native American history, in curriculum over the next two years under new standards aimed at making social studies teaching more culturally responsive. The state Public Education Department recently finalized the changes following months of debate that included pushback from parents worried their kids would be labeled racist. The standards don’t mandate specific lessons or textbooks, but will require school districts to increase their focus on social identities and understanding the world through the lens of race, class and privilege. New Mexico is the...
