Ukrainians have shared pictures of a burning Russian fighter jet they say was shot out of the sky in the Kharkiv region as Putin's forces continue to take heavy damages. Photos from the scene remains of Russian fighting aircraft Su-35 believed to have been hit by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It is understood the plane was shot down by the anti-aircraft missile troops of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who shared footage of the incident online.

Progressive Oberlin College lost a huge case in appeals court last week that forced the school to pay $31 million to a bakery, which it falsely accused of carrying out racist actions in a 2016 incident. Gibson's Bakery – a 135-year-old family business near the campus of Oberlin College – was the site of an unfortunate incident. The owner's son allegedly confronted three black Oberlin students who attempted to shoplift bottles of wine. According to the police report, one of the suspects assaulted a store employee when confronted about the stolen wine. The three students pleaded guilty to attempted theft...

Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson doled out a lenient sentence to a child rapist for violating probation — and he allegedly struck again during the time when prosecutors wanted him locked up, The Post has learned. The Biden nominee’s handling of sex offender Leo Weekes’ case emerged in a tranche of court filings and transcripts sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee Friday — just days before the panel is set to vote on whether to report her nomination to the full Senate. While Republicans have previously highlighted Jackson’s practice of giving the lightest possible punishments in child pornography cases,...

It has been a while since I have attended School, but I imagine there is probably no shortage on the history classes regarding Emmet Till or Harvey Milk. There is endless information about WW2, and Nazis in all mediums, formal and informal. It seems due for various reasons, often greatly important events or large events are never taught. What historical events do you think everyone should know a lot about? Bolshevik Revolution? Holdomor? Armenian genocide? The real history of the continent of Africa?

While President Joe Biden lifts public health controls at the United States-Mexico border so more border crossers and illegal aliens are released into the U.S. interior, American citizens are still required to abide by strict Chinese coronavirus restrictions while traveling. Late last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that the Biden administration would end Title 42 – a broad public health authority that allows federal immigration officials to quickly return border crossers and illegal aliens to their native countries.

Former Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was fined last week by the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) for paying for the fraudulent “Russia dossier” — but NBC’s Chuck Todd failed to ask her about it on Sunday morning.

GOP Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire said Donald Trump is “crazy” and joked that if the former Republican president was admitted to a mental hospital, “he ain't getting out!” Sununu skewered Trump during the Gridiron Club’s spring dinner Saturday night, an annual Washington gathering featuring skits and speeches from Democrats, Republicans and journalists that are expected to “singe” but “not burn” the capital's political elite. “He’s (expletive) crazy!” Sununu said in salty remarks that roasted members of both parties as well as the Washington journalists who cover them. The governor added: "The press often will ask me if I...

The infighting within the GOP establishment leadership continues. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), is shaking heads within party circles by continuing to push a controversial policy agenda even when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has refrained from putting out a legislative program ahead of the 2022 midterms. Scott’s activities have earned him flak from Senate Republican leaders, who fear his “Rescue America” agenda gives Democrats ammunition to attack the party in what is otherwise an opportune year for the GOP to pick up seats.

In a bygone era of American history—perhaps, say, 10 years ago—a big-state governor who earned bipartisan accolades for steering his state through a historic crisis would be cruising to reelection. DeWine has a sterling résumé: After winning his first House race in 1982, he has served as lieutenant governor, senator, attorney general, and now governor. He has been the ultimate Republican pragmatist, going as far right as necessary—but no further—to win and stay in office. Betty Montgomery, a Republican friend of DeWine’s who also served as Ohio’s attorney general, calls him “a governing Republican,” which reads as a compliment only...

President Joe Biden suffered another brain cramp during a ceremony to commission the Navy's newest nuclear submarine, saying the first lady previously held the office of Vice President during the Obama administration. Biden, 79, was praising his wife Jill Biden, 70, for her work and commitment to military families after she was named the USS Delaware's sponsor during its commissioning in Wilmington, Delaware, on Saturday. 'I'm deeply proud of the work she is doing as First Lady with Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she was Vice President and now carries on,' the president mistakenly said. It...

... The White House promises high labor and environmental standards, open cross-border data flows and secure supply chains as part of a new Indo-Pacific economic framework (IPEF) proposed by Biden at the East Asia Summit in October. ... But what exactly the IPEF will entail remains unclear, and that's because he does not have the Trade Promotion Authority that lets him negotiate trade pacts with other countries. The U.S. Constitution gives Congress sole authority to set tariffs and regulate international commerce. But Congress can temporarily grant the president power to do so by granting him the fast-track negotiating ability, known...

Serbians flocked to the polls on Sunday in elections that will likely see populist President Aleksandar Vucic extend his rule in the Balkan country, as he vows to provide stability amid war raging in Ukraine.

Early results from Hungary’s national election on Sunday showed a strong lead for the right-wing party of pro-Putin nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban as he seeks a fourth consecutive term. With 43% of votes tallied, Orban’s Fidesz-led coalition had won 57% of the vote while a pro-European opposition coalition, United for Hungary, had 31%, according to the National Election Office. Although vote counting was still underway, all signs pointed to a clear endorsement for Orban's populist style of governance. The contest was expected to be the closest since Orban took power in 2010, thanks to Hungary’s six main opposition parties...

Sometimes there are too many uncertainties and obvious red flags for an issue to go unnoticed. This is one of those times. Truck driver Jesse Morgan moved mail for the US Postal Service and came out after the election and shared his story of how he hauled tens of thousands of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania before the 2020 Election. We reported on this in December 2020. As reported earlier by Cassandra Fairbanks new election fraud whistleblowers came forward on Tuesday, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October...
