Support The United States Armed Forces Today! ~ Hall of Heroes ~John R. Fox Info from here. John Robert Fox (May 18, 1915–December 26, 1944) was killed in action when he deliberately called for artillery fire on his own position, after his position was overrun, in order to defeat a German attack in the vicinity of Sommocolonia, northern Italy during World War II.

Craig Butfoy, 49, entered false details and fabricated his experience in his flight logbook so that he could appear more qualified to work for BA CityFlyer, a British Airways regional airline, and former Irish regional airline Stobart Air. Butfoy was employed with each airline for one year, from 2016 to 2018, according to The Times of London. During that time, officials at BA CityFlyer reportedly became suspicious of his experience after an incident occurred in Switzerland when he pressed a button that "no qualified pilot would," a source told the news outlet. However, a spokesperson for British Airways maintained that...

Poland's deputy prime minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said he is "open" to the idea of the U.S deploying tactical nuclear weapons in his country, and called for Washington to send tens of thousands more American troops to Europe to check the Russian threat. Kaczynski, who leads the ruling national-conservative Law and Justice Party, also urged NATO to "do more" in Ukraine—in particular, a peacekeeping mission and delivering President Volodymyr Zelensky the weapons he asks for—and said he is "very dissatisfied" with Germany. "The eastern flank must be much better protected in the future than before," Kaczynski told Germany's Welt Am Sonntag...

Two Russian soldiers have died and dozens more became sick after they were apparently poisoned by stuffed buns given to them by Ukrainians near the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine intelligence officials said.

As Hong Kong's outbreak became the deadliest in the world, among the aid Beijing sent to the financial hub were 1 million packets of honeysuckle, rhubarb root, sweet wormwood herb and other natural ingredients, all mixed according to principles of traditional Chinese medicine. Practitioners of the centuries-old medicinal system argue such herbal combinations can be just as effective as antiviral pills like Pfizer Inc's Paxlovid.

Title 42 makes sense with or without the pandemic. Vaccine mandates make no sense either way. The Biden regime's selected use of Pandemic Panic Theater is a major concern. The reason Joe Biden didn’t lift Title 42 in the beginning of his term is because he couldn’t take away focus from Pandemic Panic Theater. Now that everyone’s attention has been diverted to Ukraine temporarily, Biden is able to pretend like the emergency part of the pandemic is over and Title 42 can be lifted. The public health policy was designed to allow border patrol to immediately send back illegal aliens...

Republican Senator investigating the Biden Crime Family RIPS open Hunter’s laptop from HELL live on-air and drops pure fire for 10 straight minutes: “Get ready for impeachment Joe!” 🔥 VIDEO https://twitter.com/i/status/1510711352653975554

... Cleese was employing a type of comedy in which the humor comes from the fact that you’re purposely creating an awkward moment by isolating a weakness in your opponent, or your audience, and needling it incessantly. It’s what Norm Macdonald did when the cackling hens on The View told him to stop talking about Bill Clinton and Vince Foster, and what David Letterman did, always (the best example being when Oliver Reed told him to not mention his alcoholism, so Letterman responded by only talking about his alcoholism). The humor is simple: A guy is told “don’t do that,”...

A top city health official and progressive crusader ignited a firestorm when she used different terms for white and minority mothers. Dr. Michelle Morse, the chief medical officer at the Department of Health, touted a new “birth equity” initiative to provide more midwives and doulas to moms in a series of tweets — selectively using the woke term “birthing people” instead of pregnant women.

Nationalist Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban claimed a "great victory" in Sunday's general election, as partial results gave his Fidesz party the lead. Addressing a jubilant crowd chanting his name, Orban said: "We have won a great victory -- a victory so great you can perhaps see it from the moon and certainly from Brussels". Orban's administration has presided over repeated confrontations with the European Union, including over the neutering of the press and judiciary, and measures targeting the LGBTQ community -- also the subject of a vote on Sunday. The 58-year-old, already the longest-serving head of government in the...

A Sunday op-ed from the Washington Post editorial board called for a public reckoning over the media's handling over the Hunter Biden laptop story. The editorial is titled "The Hunter Biden story is an opportunity for a reckoning," and discusses what the press should learn from the saga surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop. In particular, the article referenced why news outlets like themselves are now authenticating thousands of emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop when the emails were first reported in 2020. While the editorial board insisted that did not prove any corruption on the part of President Biden, this did raise...

Dmitry Medvedev, a senior Russian security official who previously served as the nation’s president, has threatened that Russia may soon cut off the West from food exports.A major player in the global market for wheat and other agri-food products, Russia will instead focus on keeping itself fed, according to Medvedev, alongside supplying its friends and close allies.

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.
