This week on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) warned Russian President Vladimir Putin would try to use biological weapons during his ongoing invasion of Ukraine. According to Rubio, Putin would likely try his attack “in a way that makes it look like someone else did it.” He explained that the Russian authoritarian would likely try to “stage” a chemical weapon attack to make it look like it was actually executed by Ukraine or NATO.

President Joe Biden tested negative for COVID-19 on March 28 after a deputy press secretary who traveled with him to Europe tested positive. The White House said Biden, who is in Washington, tested negative as part of his regular testing cadence. Karine Jean-Pierre, the press secretary, announced Sunday that she tested positive on a polymerase chain reaction test after returning from Europe. Jean-Pierre said she last saw Biden during “a socially distanced meeting” on Saturday and thus Biden was not considered a close contact, per guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Jeane-Pierre, who has received...

In Germany's Lower Saxony and Bavaria, citizens are now barred from publicly displaying the letter "Z," which has become a symbol used by the Russian army during the war. Anyone who displays the symbol at demonstrations or publicly showcases it on cars or buildings could now face a fine or up to three years in jail, according to the Moscow Times.

Similarly, Bavaria's Justice Minister Georg...

State Department officials considered a lab accident to be the most likely cause of COVID-19 in the pandemic’s early months and worried that international virologists may help with a coverup, according to a 2020 memo obtained by U.S. Right to Know. “Origin of the outbreak: The Wuhan labs remained the most likely but least probed,” reads the topline. The memo is written as a BLUF – “bottom line up front” – a style of communication used in the military. The identify of the author or authors is unknown. In response to questions from a reporter, a State Department spokesperson referred...

(CNN)The House Select Committee investigating January 6 will seek an interview with conservative activist Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. Most members of the House select committee investigating January 6 -- including chair Bennie Thompson and vice chair Liz Cheney -- believe the panel should interview her, CNN reported earlier Monday. The committee has had ongoing discussions about Ginni Thomas, and CNN reported last week that it has in its possession 29 text messages that show her pleading with then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to continue...

On Monday, Western NATO allies France and Germany tamped down President Biden’s Saturday assertion that regime change is needed in Russia, a statement the White House immediately retracted. Nevertheless, world leaders felt the need to respond to Biden’s statement by suggesting his words “could make it harder to resolve the conflict,” the Associated Press reported.

The Oscars reportedly saw a ratings boost after suffering record low viewership last year, with Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the awards show dominating headlines the day after the ceremony. The 94th annual Academy Awards on ABC drew 13.73 million viewers on Sunday, according to fast national Nielsen ratings cited by The Hollywood Reporter on Monday.

Numerous fast-tracked bills in the California Legislature involve forced COVID-19 vaccinations for children for school enrollment, allowing minor children to make their own vaccine decisions away from a parent, requiring health care staff to complete cultural humility training to provide trans-inclusive health care, and, another would force law enforcement officials to enforce public health orders. And this is being done with the Legislature waiving the 30-day in print rule so that bills can be acted upon more quickly. When did the California Legislature become so autocratic?

A group of blockchain enthusiasts are turning a 32-million square foot island into what they hope will soon be considered the “crypto capital of the world.” “After years of preparation, a green light from the Vanuatu Prime Minister and Minister Of Finance and all approvals in place, Satoshi Island is now ready to be developed into a real-world crypto economy and blockchain based democracy,” states a bio for the 800-acre portion of the island nation Vanuatu that has been freshly named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous developer of bitcoin. A website for Satoshi Island excitedly details its futuristic housing stock...

The killing in action of several Russian generals and senior military figures in Ukraine has revealed the extent of the heavy losses and logistical problems encountered by Moscow's invading army. According to Kyiv, seven Russian generals have been killed since the invasion was launched on February 24, in what Western officials say would be an unusually high casualty rate among military top brass. It is not possible to independently verify this figure and official Russian sources have so far confirmed only the death of one general and another senior naval commander. According to the Ukraine defence ministry on Friday, the...

Federalist Senior Editor John Daniel Davidson was locked out of his Twitter account on Saturday for stating the fact that Biden administration official Rachel Levine is a man. The moment came following a Friday tweet from Davidson on the growing Big Tech censorship of “everyone who dissents from their ideology.” In it, he correctly referred to Levine, who falsely claims to be a woman, as a male. “They’re not even trying to hide it anymore,” wrote Davidson. “If you say that Rachel Levine is a man, they will come after you. Doesn’t matter that Levine is in fact a man....

Chris Rock's may have landed himself in hot water with Oscar bosses as his joke about Jada Pinkett Smith was reportedly unvetted before the live show. The comedian, 57, was slapped in the face by Jada's husband Will, 53, after he stormed on stage when Chris jokingly compared her haircut to G.I. Jane. A source told Us Weekly that Chris initially rehearsed his speech with no mention of Jada. The insider added: 'Will was not in attendance for [the] rehearsal.' While on stage, Chris said: 'Jada, GI Jane 2, I can't wait to see it', which prompted Will to step...

Former President Donald Trump “more likely than not” attempted to illegally obstruct Congress on the day of last year’s Capitol riot, a California federal judge ruled Monday. “Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,” US District Judge David Carter wrote in a ruling ordering attorney and Trump ally John Eastman to turn over more than 100 emails to the House select committee investigating the riot.

I've got to admit, I was a bit surprised when the 3/25 edition of The Daily Skirmish hit my Inbox. Apparently, despite every bureaucratic abuse we've seen at the hands of our health care system over the last two years of Two Weeks To FlattenThe Curve TM. The Radical Left is continuing their unrelenting efforts to destroy America's health care system. It's just disturbing how many examples there are: Just eight years removed from being saved by a last minute veto, Vermont refuses to learn its lesson and is ready to try again. Then again, this is the state that's...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) blasted President Joe Biden for being out of touch on Sunday following reports of the president drafting an executive order to invoke the Defense Production Act to help produce material for electric car batteries. “After begging for oil from dictators, Biden is now using emergency war powers to produce batteries for the 1% that drive electric cars. Most Americans suffering due to high gas prices don’t have the luxury of spending $50k+ on an electric car,” DeSantis said, making the demand to “unleash American energy today!”:

The producers behind the 94th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday night have drawn fire from critics who called it “insensitive” to accompany two black presenters as they took the stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles with Toto’s “Africa.” Toto’s “Africa” played as British actor Daniel Kaluuya and singer H.E.R., both of whom claimed Oscars in 2021, strolled into the spotlights to present best supporting actress. Some argued the 1982 song was a less than stellar choice to introduce two black presenters, the Hollywood Reporter pointed out and others agreed on social media.

A new deep dive into discrepancies in the ballot counts of six key battleground states in the 2020 election has turned up more than 250,000 “excess votes” for President Joe Biden, and maybe far more. The key point in the upcoming peer-reviewed study for the journal Public Choice by economist and noted gun expert John Lott Jr. is that the excess voting may challenge — or explain — Biden’s margin of victory over former President Donald Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In his report, on the Public Choice website but still awaiting final approval, Lott said...
