Just days after bringing a lawsuit against the perpetrators of the "Russia hoax," former President Donald Trump suggested if the tables were turned, Democrats who have been seeking endless investigations of him would be talking "treason" and "death penalty."

More than a month has passed since Russias invasion and the Ukrainian Army is now on the offensive in the Kherson region. An attack on the Russian-held city of Kherson is expected within a week.

Donald Trump's presidency and subsequent loss to President Joe Biden, combined with growing anger from two years of Covid restrictions, has oriented the party to such a degree that it's hard to believe Sen. Mitt Romney was the GOP presidential nominee just ten years ago. That hard lurch to the right-wing of the party cost longtime state Rep. Steve Handy of Layton his seat in the legislature on Saturday. One of the state's more moderate Republicans, Handy, was defeated by newcomer Trevor Lee, who has embraced several right-wing issues during his campaign. On his campaign website, Lee says he favors...

Former President Donald Trump announced Friday he plans to hold a rally in suburban Detroit on April 2 to support candidates he has endorsed in Michigan's elections this year. Trump will headline a rally at the Michigan Stars Sports Center in Macomb County's Washington Township at 7 p.m. ET. Trump is backing Matthew DePerno in the race for attorney general and Kristina Karamo for secretary of state. Both are in competitive races for GOP nominations on April 23 when Republican delegates will endorse nominees at a state convention in Grand Rapids.

Russia wants to split Ukraine into two, as happened with North and South Korea, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief said on Sunday, vowing “total” guerrilla warfare to prevent a carve up of the country. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged the West to give Ukraine tanks, planes and missiles to help fend off the Russian forces, which the Kyiv government said were increasingly targeting fuel and food depots. Meanwhile, U.S. officials continued efforts to soften comments on Saturday from U.S. President Joe Biden, who said in a fiery speech in Poland that Russian leader Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power”.

Americans who followed the four-day confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson last week were treated to a rare display of brilliance, principle and unflappability that demonstrate her fitness, to say the very least, to sit on the nation’s high court. The next step should be obvious and simple. Jackson should be confirmed without delay. The nominee was forbearing and masterful in responding to the series of non sequiturs hurled at her during long days of questioning by a handful of strutting, preening Republican senators more concerned with the coming midterm elections and their social media mentions than...

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Psalm 62:7 (King James Version) Joe Bribehim deserves to be in prison rather than President of the United States. Why did the Communist Party not at least check to see what was in the Hunter laptop before they stole the election from Bernie? Of course, the DNC machine could never allow an avowed communist to be nominated who will not lie about who he is. They had the main election fixed anyway so why did it have to be someone as...

"And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost." "Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed...

Russia is attempting to restore old military equipment held in long-term storage to replace losses suffered during its invasion of Ukraine but it is encountering difficulty in doing so because of corruption and the poor condition of the equipment, the Ukrainian Intelligence Directorate (GUR) said on Saturday. Military gear is being removed from long-term storage facilities and is being channeled to a repair and rehabilitation base near the Belarus and Ukraine border, GUR asserted, but in cases such as the Russian 4th Tank Division, the conditions of vehicles are such that only one-in-ten "mothballed" units is in working order. The...

UK minister Nadhim Zahawi has distanced himself from Joe Biden's comments calling for Vladimir Putin to be removed from power, suggesting that decision is "up to the Russian people". The US president said on Saturday during a speech in Poland that Mr Putin is a "dictator" who "cannot remain in power". Asked on Sky News if the UK government also thinks the Russian leader has to go, Mr Zahawi appeared to distance himself from Mr Biden. "I think that's up to the Russian people... I think the Russian people will decide the fate of Putin and his cronies."

The Middle East Studies Association (MESA), which represents hundreds of professors who teach Middle Eastern studies on dozens of American college campuses, passed a resolution endorsing the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. The Middle East-centered learning society closed its 50-day voting period for the BDS resolution on Wednesday. More than 80 percent of the organization's voting members, many of whom teach about Israel at U.S. universities, cast ballots supporting the resolution, which accuses the Jewish state of committing human rights abuses against Palestinians and calls on MESA members to boycott Israeli universities. Left-leaning students and faculty at American universities...

Comedian and writer Michael Loftus says his latest project, That Show Tonight, is designed to create Saturday Night Live for conservatives. And he gave a dose of his humor on the Just the News, Not Noise TV show, offering a sizzle reel of things you will never here Democrats say. compliments of several prominent cameos.

An enterprising journalist from Bolivia [Twitter Link] mapped the countries that support the sanctions against Russia (yellow) versus the countries that are not participating in the western sanctions against Russia (grey). (“Decadent West” vs. rest of world) The image provides a visual reference to consider our previous discussions about the cleaving of the global economy between two overarching ideologies.

MADISON, Wis. — The push by Republicans to conduct partisan ballot reviews similar to the one that unfolded last year in Arizona has spread beyond the battleground states where former President Donald Trump disputed his loss, an effort that has had mixed legislative success but has sown doubts about whether future elections can be trusted. While most of the bills are unlikely to become law, the debates and public hearings in GOP-controlled state legislative chambers have added fuel to the false claims that widespread fraud cost Trump reelection in 2020. “They’re really tearing down democracy, and they don’t think they...

Once upon a time in Little Rock... If you ever wished to see Hillary Clinton in a production of Into the Woods… well, first of all, we have questions for you. And second of all, your wish has come true. Well, sort of. The former secretary of state, senator, and First Lady has joined the cast of an upcoming production of the Stephen Sondheim musical at the Arkansas Repertory Theatre (a.k.a. the Rep), set to open in Little Rock next month. Representatives for Clinton did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment on the news. Clinton will not be...

Thousands of people were evacuated in The Philippines on Saturday after a volcano erupted with plumes of steam and ash that went nearly two miles in the sky, Reuters reported. The threat level for Taal volcano, located in a lake south of the capital Manila, was raised from level two to level three on a scale of zero to five on Saturday morning after it spewed plumes that reached up to 9,800 feet, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) said in a statement. A total of 1,100 people, including fisherman in the lake, were evacuated by authorities, PHIVOLCS...

We are strange creatures. We see the world and build mental models of how the world works. Soon, those models become more significant to us than reality itself. That is dangerous when so much of our “experience” is from the news and entertainment media. We think our tiny screens show us what is really happening. We want to be carful about what we put into our heads. Here in the USA, there are over a million violent crimes a year. The vast majority of them do not involve the criminal using a gun. At the same time, honest citizens like...

President Joe Biden's nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States is everything you thought she'd be. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who will likely replace Justice Stephen Breyer, has the support of progressives across the country. Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser noted that Jackson is "backed by many of America's most radical pro-abortion groups" as well as "on record opposing the free speech rights of pro-life advocates pleading to save lives outside abortion cetners and supporting the false claim that abortion is 'health care.'" That, of course, is no surprise. Biden is the most pro-abortion president in...

When I started warning of an emerging global food crisis a number of months ago, many out there assumed that I must be exaggerating things. Sadly, I was not exaggerating one bit. The soaring price of fertilizer, extreme global weather patterns, shocking crop failures and an epic global supply chain crisis had combined to create a "perfect storm" even before the war in Ukraine began. Of course the war has made things far worse, because Russia and Ukraine collectively account for about 30 percent of all worldwide wheat exports under normal conditions. For a while, the mainstream media and our...
